Jesus, messiah-king of Edom

Looking to Genesis ch. 27, both Esau and Jacob were blessed to compete for royal positions by their father Isaac.  Isaac gave Israel a greater blessing than Edom, and thus it is such that we should not abhor Edomites.

I understand Jesus as a messiah-king of Edom, and those who were nobles in medieval Europe all had Edomite genealogies stemming from the Royal House of Troy.  Many agree that the followers of Judaism had terrible times then.  Things are different now.  Already many have said, "This is a good time to be a Jew."  I am hoping that the next 1,000yrs brings prosperous Jewish dynasties, like the reign of Solomon and David 3,000yrs ago.

Maybe there are 1,000yr Gregorian calendar cycles?  And, if there is a Jewish messiah-king, then it could spell the end of the myths of Jesus and his adamant followers.  Count me in!

Esau and Cain: Wheat Gluten as a Catalyst for Sin

I understand that wheat is a part of religious ceremony, which seems to negate this idea. However, that ceremony may have come about after the world became full of people capable of digesting wheat in what we would define now as normal.
 
I know I have written a few articles in favor of a young earth, saying that I can’t believe that humans remained so primitive for so long, but in this blog, I admit that it is possible. How so? If we go back to the Cain and Abel story, then we know that people have been farming for quite some time. Notice that Cain gave a grain offering to the Lord in the Text. This is very similar to what Esau does before he is going to kill Jacob, that is, he eats porridge.  Both dire stories are inclusive of wheat.

Science reports in journal articles that it understands that wheat has opium compounds, such as gliadorphin, an exorphin similar to both morphine and heroine exist in wheat protein, which is called gluten.  I probably don't have to write for us that most normal people are completely unaffected by gliadorphin, and that somehow in their gut, they are able to digest it such that it is rendered harmless.  My case, where I experience a high from eating gluten is rare, and I imagine most people die before they are able to reach a state of recovery like I am at now via eliminating wheat and taking an enzyme pill daily in order to get any gluten which may have slipped into my food.

So here it is; my theory. I, myself, am intolerant to wheat, and through that I have learned that if many other persons had my disease the world would look like it did to Noah before the time of the flood. It would not get built up, as everyone would be doing evil. When I eat wheat it becomes opiates in my body: For more on this go to Greatplainslaboratory.com and research gluten and casein. I associate wheat with aggression, child-likeness, hypersexuality, sleepiness, sin, and the inclination to evil. I also believe that this problem is something that some of the Edomites had, and that it is related to wickedness. Gluten is the protein in wheat, barley, and hops, while casein is the protein in cow, sheep, and goat milk. There may be other instances where these opiate peptides occur in the environment. Thus, the world could not be built up for millions of sin because the gene to digest wheat had not evolved yet, such that a society high on opium, suffering, and not knowing even the source of their suffering; they did not know to cut the gluten out in order regain their health.

Therefore, the existence of Edom, as wicked, may in part be due to a malfunctioning of the gene that evolved in others, but de-evolved in Edom. Yet, in this instance it is likely that Esau knew what he was doing when he consumed wheat.

MASS Health, ACA, charity, Science Funding, Talmud, NGO, Environment, Zerah, Esau, Freewill, Soul, Jews Have Torah

I come from MA. I know about Mass Health. This is a fact. If you apply for it through any other means than being in person, then whatever papers you have filled out for snail mail are tossed in the trash. Folks don't have the time for stuff like website applications even in my state, which is orders of magnitude smaller than the scale of trying to achieve socialized health care. A much better way to do this has been pointed out by Robert Reich, and that was to extend Medicare to include health for all. In addition, I believe that trying to insure the entire country will be a difficult if not impossible task, especially since it requires more bureaucracy than Mass health, and believe me, it is no easy walk in the park to get health care here. Many providers often complain that Mass Health doesn't pay them, even though it should. Really, the best way do do this would be Medicare and via separating the union with respect to health care as places like New England, Mid-Western, etc.

One thing that I don't get about ACA is why so many folks that comment also can pay out of pocket are more concerned about second tier Americans than third and underclass tiers? I myself pay out of pocket for my psychological care. I would guess anyone who trusts regular health care for psych would be nothing but a disaster, such that out of pocket psychiatrists that do not accept health care is the only way.

Conservatives often give to fund their priests, but that is all. Ever heard of a conservative give no an NGO (Non governmental organization) like Heiffer International? Probably not. I do admit though that the shoebox charity of Christian is quite good. I, myself, have done missionary work in the Dominican Republic doing things like pouring cement to build a hospital. Often I am very suspicious of Christian charities like the Salvation Army because really their assistance is often motivated by Jesus and is not humanistic. (This is probably more like what Christians are like in the Bible belt.  I have evidence that Christians are not like this where I live, Cape Cod)

I don't buy that. I live in Massachusetts, sometimes called the blue-est state. Far fewer people in my state go to church and still far fewer are zealous about their religion here. And, guess what, our water is clean and through legislating charity we have one of the most robust states in the union. Boston has weathered the financial storms of economic demise far better than many other USA cities.

One fact is, if you give many but not all people a sense that Zeus is watching the behavior of men, then, the majority of men will use belief in Zeus as a reason to behave, and they will behave just as well for Zeus as they will for Jesus.

There is ample evidence to suggest that Zeus was Zerah son of Judah, born by Tamar, and brother of Pharez.

If Jesus was the Messiah, then please explain to me why after his coming here life expectancies decreased. Also, that Jesus walked the earth reminds me of a silly old song my mom used to sing, "And, he walks with me and he talks with me and he tells me that l am his own."

Thanks ... for not praying for me. When Christians say that to me (That they are gonna pray for me), I take it as a common passive aggressive cheap-shot.

Exactly, when Isaac blessed Jacob, he gave a lesser blessing to Esau. In the Bible Isaac represents justice. Thank you for at least trying to show some discretion over who and what you pray about. Indeed, you are trying not to caste pearls to swine (why it is written "before" beats me. Its almost like poor English, as if the pearls turn men into swine). It should be, don't caste pearls to swine, if you are concerned with parsimonious English.


Thank you for taking time to address this with me. I am not Christian. I believe that the religion of Judaism is correct though I am not a Jew, meaning I do not have Jewishness that one supposedly gains through ritual conversion.


First, let me address the issue of free will. I believe G@d knows us, and controls our destiny to a certain extent, but that we also control our own destiny because we have souls. These souls give us purpose, and individuality. Most Bible's include this in the creation account where G_d say, "And let them rule." "Let" separates our souls from being G-d's automatons. "Them" is plural indicating our individuality. To "Rule" over creation is the purpose of humanity. Also, several times in Torah we read that if we do good things, then eventually good things will happen to us, and that if we do bad things we will eventually fall from grace through the evil of G!d. A couple of time in the histories of the Jewish kings in Tanach G:d is called evil. In addition, G=d is the ruler over Satan, the Angel of Death, and so on. So, because we have souls we can choose to a certain extent how we are to live, and G$d may or may not punish or reward us, according to His perfect wisdom. Thus, as the rule of karma applies, if we do good, then eventually good things will happen to us, and if we do evil eventually G-d is probably going to multiply our afflictions.

I do agree with you that the Christian message is quite muddled. To believers, however, to be a Christian is secretly defined as doing what is morally upstanding, while shunning evil.

I do not have a good answer with respect to radioactive dating and the Bible. So far as I can conceive, there once was a time where humanity became nearly extinct due to an ice age, according to the fossil record. The entire world is thus thought to have been repopulated by 70 individuals, according to science. I believe that Noah's flood was actually due to global warming and thawing a glacier, and that the 70 individuals that scientists say repopulated the world, are the 70 nations of the Bible following the flood.

I believe that it is possible that we have miscalculated the age of the birth of Hebrew. There is ancient Hebrew (no vowels, only consonants), as our human ancestors probably could only speak with consonants (see The Ancestor's Tale by Richard Dawkins), and there is modern Hebrew, which of course has vowels. Modern Hebrew was created through isolating a child in Jewish culture, and deigning the words he came up as Hebrew. Please keep in mind that no one had spoken perhaps middle Hebrew or Ancient Hebrew for roughly 2,000 years before Modern Hebrew was created. Talmud and Torah through the Middle Ages etc were studied in the vernacular, but the Hebrew was only read, not spoken. This is one reason I believe Hebrew is very similar to old French according to Rashi, meaning that Rashi had adopted old French into a Hebrew creole. Rashi is best known for writing what is often called the most important commentary on the Torah.

Forgive me if I am in error in the delivery, but if I can remember correctly, reconciliation of the modern dating system science is possible through Torah. Observing the dates of the Bible, I was able to conclude that through taking Torah (non-Tanach {I think it was}) dates and connecting them with modern dates, I was able to come to an interesting conclusion with respect to the Hebrew word “Yom,” which can mean either day or age. This word “yom” is also used in the creation story, which is why some folks believe in the Day-Age Theory. At the time of the flood, G-d numbered Noah’s years, saying that man’s days are numbered 120. If you factor in Torah one of the years of a person’s life is actually 120 years of our time because of this verse, then we are accurately able to date the time of near human extinction in the fossil record in Torah. In addition, the fossil record contains 2 departures from Africa, one being that of Abraham, the other being that of the Israelites fleeing Pharaoh. Using this system, it is also possible to conclude that the Canaanites were the Neanderthals, and that for some of us our ancestors intermarried with them, as we have their DNA. There is definitely fossil record of Neanderthals in Israel, which is the land of Canaan. Additionally, I am fairly certain that while all know white people have Neanderthal DNA, it is the Jews that are Jewish via lineage that have the highest concentrations of Neanderthal DNA.

This raises an interesting question, which you, yourself, posed. Why the hell is everything with respect to the Bible so muddled, be it any religion, as though I like Judaism on paper, I still think people are people? For one, Paul and the Talmud are correct on one thing, that the Jews have Torah. However, that is not to state that the Jews fully comprehend Torah. That is, G-d gave the Torah to the Jews in a state, very similar to the way the Jews are now, and not all comprehend this Torah though many of the Jews wrestle with it in their life, and indeed some go on to become Rabbis and probably fewer become students of these Rabbis.

One conclusion is that each name of every person in Torah, or at least Genesis is actually a tribe, and not a single person.

I resent that about donating other people's money. i do give money to charity, and I am a charity case. The Bible says that the poor should not be so impoverished that they are unable to give back, and that describes my situation. There, in the play by play I did charitable a good deed by letting you know that. I used to be an electrochemist several years back, and having mental illness even I could see that I would cost tax payers less on SSI, not to be confused with SSDI, if I just take a check and stop doing science. Plenty is already known in science and people need to put that to use and not just publish paper after paper. The system is archaic. Science is supposed to be repeatable, but recorded written and moderated commentary on articles isn't done, especially since terabyte drives are commonly available. The Jews have been doing this since the Dark Ages through Talmud. Science isn't all that grand and it costs a lot of money, so I decided not to add to the problem, and see what I could do that might benefit people in the form of charity.

Call me Korah (Craig) (Koreck, Korah)

The following blog describes how I am immersed in Torah, which is a command of the Bible.

Genesis Chapter 36:(5) and Oholibamah bore Jeush, and Jalam, and Korah. These are the sons of Esau, that were born unto him in the land of Canaan.

I was born an Edomite.  Additionally, I belong to Haplogroup I, which is, according to the Jews of the Middle Ages, the Haplogroup of Edom.  For example, the Jews often depicted the rulers of Europe in the Middle Ages as Edom.  Like Edomites, I was wicked, but it wasn’t my fault.  Nowhere in Torah does it say that wickedness is the fault of the child.  However, when I was 21, I encountered Gd, and he spoke to me, and I repented.  When I repented, it was revealed to me that I had a dietary issue where it was that eating certain foods caused me to be wicked.  The test was performed by the Great Plains Laboratory under the supervision of Dr. Greenblatt, and the results were that I had opiates that came from eating both gluten or casein, such that if I cut out these foods, my sense of myself as being a wicked person was removed.

(14) And these were the sons of Oholibamah the daughter of Anah, the daughter of Zibeon, Esau's wife; and she bore to Esau Jeush, and Jalam, and Korah.

As a youngster, Korah had a chief.

 (18) And these are the sons of Oholibamah Esau's wife: the chief of Jeush, the chief of Jalam, the chief of Korah. These are the chiefs that came of Oholibamah the daughter of Anah, Esau's wife.

Exodus 6: (21) And the sons of Izhar: Korah, and Nepheg, and Zichri.

Thus, Korah was a Cohenim.  I should note that after a few generations Edomites are permitted to be in the assembly of Jews.  My grandfather had become interested in being a Jew, and now as the generations of time have worn on, it is okay for me to be in an assembly of Jews.  For example, twice I attended service at Cape Cod Synagogue.  However, I feel Orthodox is a better denomination than Reform.  There is no reason for me to convert as, my family is Christian, though I am not Christian, such that I could not hope to have a Jewish child, because Jewishness is matrilineal.

First Chronicles Chapter 6:(3) And the sons of Kohath were Amram, and Izhar, and Hebron, and Uzziel.

Korah had sons that went to Egypt, where sons are not necessarily genetic, but are raised by a father.

(24) And the sons of Korah: Assir, and Elkanah, and Abiasaph; these are the families of the Korahites.

Numbers Chapter 16 describes the rebellion of Korah against Moses.

As a result:

(32) And the earth opened her mouth and swallowed them up, and their households, and all the men that appertained unto Korah, and all their goods.

Many died as a result of what happened to Korah.  I believe that my leaving of New Jersey after having committed idolatry, as the Torah says my father would turn my head away such that I believed in a false G-d, and I did though I realized my mistake in having committed idolatry, such that I moved to a new locality and I repented.  It was amazing that I lived after calling 9-11.  I am suspicious that my having committed idolatry and calling 9-11  resulted in the 9/11 terrorism.  However, I am not proud of that incident, and wish that 9/11 never happened.  However, when I was sick and called 9-11, I was glad that G-d visited me, and I immediately repented from my idolatry and worshiped YHVH, who spoke to me as I AM. 

Numbers 17:(14) Now they that died by the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, besides them that died about the matter of Korah.

However, the sons of Korah, the ones that where loyal to him as a father did not die. 

Numbers 26: (11) Notwithstanding the sons of Korah died not.

Korah becomes a Levitical clan, where Levites are spread out throughout the world.

Numbers 26:(58) These are the families of Levi: the family of the Libnites, the family of the Hebronites, the family of the Mahlites, the family of the Mushites, the family of the Korahites. And Kohath begot Amram.

Many great songs are associable with the Korahites.

7th and 8th Zerah: Viking Zerahites and Milesian Zerahites in Scotland, Azariah Patriarch of the Scots

1:1  Regarding Israel as the center (Talmud) helps find the extremities of the earth.  Israelites at times will be scattered to the earth’s ends (Deuteronomy 28:64).  Thus, Norway, Scotland and Ireland should be examined for lost Israelite tribes.

 1:2  Before I have talked about the following members Genetic Haplogroup I1 migrated from the Middle East to Norway (Wikipedia: Haplogroup I1), becoming the Vikings.  This was not the Milesians because the Milesians took a different route, through Spain.  We can be sure that the Viking migration occurred recently for three reasons. 

1:2a  The first is that in Norway, Middle Eastern runes were discovered that are not dated to BCE (David K. Faux).

1:2b.  The second is of course the evidence of DNA via the Y chromosome.

1:2c  Third, in written ancestries, Viking rulers descend from Dara (Dardanus [Iliad] founder of the Royal House of Troy), son of Zerah (Zeus [Iliad]) of the tribe of Judah/Jupiter (First Chronicles, Persian mythology) through Minon (Langfedgatal), who is Memnon (Theogony, Hesiod) son of Tithonus (The Trojan Women, Euripides), son of Laomedon (Iliad) of the Royal House of Troy in mythology.  This line migrated away from Israel when Chaldean Magi (plural) came from the Persian Empire c. 50 CE, met Jesus in Israel and took a different route home (Gospel of Matthew) and ended up in Northern Europe (Poetic Edda).  This lineage below is given by John D. Keyser of Hope of Israel Ministries (Temple City, CA), where the fact that Jacob father of Judah is Saturnus of Krit is also defended:

1/. SATURNUS OF KRIT

2/. JUPITER

3/. DARIUS

4/. ERICHHONIUS

5/. TROES

6/. ILUS

7/. LAMEDON

8/. PRIAM -- KING OF TROY

9/. MINON (MEMNON)

10/. THOR

11/. EINRIDI

12/. VINGETHORR

13/. VINGENER

14/. MODA

15/. MAGI – “The Magi mentioned in Mat 2:1 were not magicians in the ordinary sense of the word. They belonged to a religious caste, the followers of Zoroaster, the astrologers of the East. (Easton’s Bible Dictionary)”

16/. SESKEF (SESCEF)

A study of Danish literature reveals that SESKEF, sometimes spelled SCEAF, is a TITLE OF ODIN. What does this title mean? Seskef, or Sceaf, literally means a "sheaf" of grain. ODIN claimed to be a kind of lord, or savior, and laid claim to being THE SHEAF represented in Leviticus 23:9-14 ,as symbolically referring to the MESSIAH!” - THE TROJAN ORIGINS OF EUROPEAN ROYALTY!

2:1   Despite the Viking migration of Haplotype H, Herman L. Hoeh tells us, Azariah, son of Ethan, son of Zerah (First Chronicles) is a Scottish patriarch. 

2:2  There is also another unlikely proposed lineage that traces those in that Hamilton clan of Scotland, 2^nd only to the Stewart clan among the Scottish Highlanders, that possess the Haplogroup I1, to Norway and the Middle East (Google: Hamilton DNA Project).

2:3  The unlikely groups is as follows: some sources say King Bernard “Le Danios” whose ancestors would have been the Vikings, is the progenitor of the House of Beaumont in France (BIHallchamps_Beaumont_.pdf [available on the internet]) and the House of Harcourt in Germany (Wikipedia: King Bernard Le Danois).  Because fatherhood often results in the passing down of Y chromosomes that Dara and Azariah would be both Haplogroup I1 makes sense, after all First Chronicles lists them both (Dara and Azariah) as coming from the tribe of Judah.

2:4  Historically, the Scottish Highlanders haven’t eaten pork until the last hundred years (www.britam.org [quotes several sources]), are brutish (John of Fordun, 1380 CE) indicating their Edomite heritage, are technological inventors [ex. A Scot invented television], and the royals use lion symbolism; all earmarks of Zerahites.  Some are also Haplogroup I1.  The ancestry matches too!

2:5  Herman Hoeh tells us that Azariah is a patriarch of the Scots, “The line of Mileadh, in Irish records, properly begins with Easru in Egypt. The name Easru is Old Irish for Ezra or Azariah,” and, “The previous volume of the Compendium established the significant

fact that the symbol of the line of Easru and Mileadh was the Crimson

or Red Branch -- signifying the royal line Zarah, Judah's son (Genesis

38:30),” (Compendium of World History Vol. 2, Herman L. Hoeh).

2:6  Hoeh also gives the line of Judah that that was Israelite (1 Chronicles 2:8), king (1 Chronicles 3:12), high priest (1 Chronicles 5:35), and Levite (1 Chronicles 6:21) that left from Ireland to Scotland.

Jacob

Tamar, Jacob (Israelite) and Edom via Reuel, etc.

Zarah (Prince)

Ezra

Ethan

Azariah, who is Easru (High Priest)

Sru

Eibher Scot (Note: Eibher means Hebrew.)

Beogamon

Tait

Agnamhan

Lamhfinn

Heber Glunfionn

Agnonfinn

Eimhear Glas

Nenuaill

Nuadhat

Aldoid

Earchada

Deaghata

Bratha

Breogan

Bile

Mileadh

2:7  In this case the lineage of Mileadh is the priestly connection that the Scots have to the Israelites.

1st Zerah: Who is Zerah? What are the Zerahites?

Ethics of our Fathers 6:3 He who learns from his companion one section, or one canon, or one verse, or one word, (or) even one letter, is bound to do him honour; for thus we find with David king of Israel, who learned not from Achithophel but two things only, that he called him his master, his guide, and his acquaintance,

The Bible mentions several Zerahs, or does it? Zerah’s name appears in many ancestries in not only the Torah, but the entire Tanach. The Tanach is the Jewish Bible. It does not include the New Testament. This essay is purely speculative.

Genesis 36:16 is the first appearance of the name Zerah. He is mentioned as the son of the Edomite, “Reuel.”

Genesis 36:13 And these are the sons of Reuel: Nahath, and Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah. These were the sons of Basemath Esau's wife.

That Esau took her as a wife indicates that Basemath was indeed an Abrahamite. The Torah says that Basemath was the daughter of Ishmael (Genesis 36:3). Ishmael was the firstborn of Abraham’s sons. Basemath was also the wife of Esau. That makes Zerah in the third generation. First there was Esau, the brother of Jacob. Next there was Reuel, the son of Esau. Last there was Zerah, the son of Reuel, but was this an adoption? Zerah is also the third generation from Jacob. Generation one was Jacob. Generation 2 was Judah. In generation 3 was Zerah (Generation 38:30). In fact, it is mentioned that Tamar bore Zerah (Genesis 38:27-30). However, if this is the same Zerah, his earmarks were that he had affiliations with both the Edomites and the Ishmaelites. What I suggest is that these two supposed Zerahs are the same person that became the clan of the Zerahites. In fact, though Tamar bore Zerah, he was first mothered by Basemath. But, Zerah carries the paternal Y chromosome of Judah conferring the scepter, but due to a conversion he was both an Edomite and a Judahite, and had associations with Ishmaelites. That is that he was mothered by two tribes. So far, I suggest all Zerahites are mothered by two tribes, both Ishmaelite and Judahite, and fathered by two tribes Edomite and Judahite.

It is thought that the marks of an Edomite in today’s society might be such as joining the military. In fact, my father showed military aptitude and served his nation as a Captain in the military elite Special Forces. However, he also possessed some of the earmarks of Jacob as well, as he became a public school teacher. The earmarks of Jacob would be study. Furthermore, I possess the Y chromosome of a Regent, indicating the association of the scepter with my family. Besides the Stewarts, the Hamilton’s are the second noblest clan in Scotland. I mention this because several ancestries of mine go back to Zeus. It is thought that Zeus is a fictional name for the Zerahites.

Additionally, Numbers 26:13 mentions a Zerah of the Israelite tribe of Simon. This is thought to be a third conversion of Zerah, and it is a lifetime journey for each Zerahite to undergo slavery and a wondering in the desert, converting to the tribe of Simon shortly after slavery. First a Zerahite is an Edomite, then he is also a Judahite, and then he is also a Simonite. How can this be? I reason that Abrahamites intermingle. In fact, I suggest that the nation of Abraham is in fact the inhabitants of the USA. What Zerahites end up doing is starting to master Torah, and that this is the way of life for them. This is not to say all Zerahites are righteous (Joshua 7:1). Yet, this is not a call for all people to intermingle. However, some intermingling is thought to be a part of the Torah.

There are yet other occurrences of Zerah of the Bible, but not in the Torah. The book of Ezra knows of a Zerahiah (7:1), whom had also converted to the tribe of Levi. It is not clear if Zerahiah and Zerah are both Zerahites, and this is a place where I need more research. This should be less of a surprise than it really is. Jacob declares Simonites and Levites are a pair (Genesis 49:5), so it would be natural for such a conversion to take place. Additionally, the book of Chronicles lets us know that the Zerahiah of Ezra was of the line of Aaron, and is thus a Cohenim, or a candidate for being the high priest (5:32). Evidence of this would be obeying the command of a Cohen gadol to only marry virgins. Lastly, yet another conversion is made to the Levite clan of Gershon (Chronicles 6:6). What else would you expect from a politician other than affiliations with the various divisions of the clans of Abraham?

2 Chronicles 14:8 lastly mentions “Zerah the Ethiopian.” Perhaps, this individual was a Zerahite, as we know Zeus had African descendents through the Royal House of Thebes through Io, such that Pharoah of the Book of Exodus was probably an African Zerahite, as the scepter of Judah is not reported to have been removed during the enslavement of the Israelites. Zerah the Ethiopian was probably a descendant of Pharoah, such that all the Israelites did not leave during the Exodus, but some of the tribe of Judah remained behind and ruled there. All the attacking Ethiopians where mentioned as having been slain, but this is not to say that all the African Zerahites were on this military campaign. This was during the kingship of Asa, which was after 1,000 BCE, but before CE. Therefore, it should be understood that the word Zerah occurs over the course of thousands of years. There was probably an original founding member. However, this person was probably not Zerah the Ethiopian. Rather, Zerah should be thought of as the Zerahites. And, as they are not mentioned as having died in the JPS Bible, Zerahites are probably still around today. It is thought that when in 167 BCE, when a statue of Zeus was placed in the Holy of Holies it mystically led to Zerahites also being considered Cohenim, and the changing of the name of Zerah to Zerahiah, as only the High Priest is permitted to enter this sacred place. This radical change of Zerah to Zerahiah.

If the legends of Zeus are true, then we should also expect a Zerahite to have relations with Asians as well. Zeus is recorded to have married Europa, an Asian. This was a source for Asiatic nobility. Though I believe most Ishmaelites are currently Muslim, I am currently unsure who the Asians are in the Torah. This is a topic for further research. Personally, I have had relationships with Asians most of my life, as well as some Africans, Jews and Ishmaelites.

Craig HamiltonThe word “Fathers” occurs 508 times in the JPS 1917 Translation.

November 19, 2010 at 4:41 pm

Craig Hamilton“Who is Zerah? What are the Zerahites?” (October 2010). - There is not necessarily a Zerahite Y chromosome. However, if there is one then it is almost certainly Haplogroup I1. Thus, part of the blog is incorrect, as it was made on the assumption that because Tamar reportedly “bore” Zerah unto Judah, that this meant Zerah had a copy of Judah’s Y chromosome.
