Updated: Why Are We Content Living In The Downstairs Apartment In The Elites’ Outhouse?
“It's hard to admit you've been fooled, but it's not too late to turn on the light, and open your eyes.“
Okay, it’s time to cut the crap. It’s time to stop pussyfooting around. It’s time to get off the pot as they say. It’s time for those in the Christian nations of the West to get clued in as to who we are in the Biblical record, stand up for our heritage, and the truth of the word of God rather than kowtowing to the atheist elites who are of the synagogue of Satan. [Rev. 3:9]. The reason is because our continuing ignorance literally is killing us. It doesn’t take a genius to figure this out. Just look at the "covid" destruction, and the sanction induced shortages and economic and financial policies [for example, tens of billions to subsidize Ukraine while you pay for it out of your inflated weekly paycheck] in what use to be the wealthiest nation of bounty on Earth. Now it's the world's largest debtor nation in history, a morally corrupt, lawless, bankrupt empire of lies for which there is ample supporting evidence in the last days Biblical prophecies.
The most important point to understand in getting ourselves out of our current mess, and it’s getting worse daily, is to start off with getting back to the knowledge of who Christians are in the Biblical record. While this knowledge may appear to be self-evident, it's quite the opposite. It's square one for us that goes back to the first century with Christ and the apostles, rather than 5th century Roman church gentilethink misinformation. It lies at the crux of the entire purpose of the New Testament, and therefore the very existence of Biblical Christianity. The path to knowing what we need to do, and who we are in the Biblical record is an individual pursuit, not a herd mandate. As the apostle Paul wrote, "Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually." [1 Cor 12:27].
From the secular perspective regarding our current predicament in the downstairs apartment, "There is only the individual, and each individual is responsible for his own awakening. That oh so rare awakening means gaining for self the ability to think, to think as an individual, to think critically, to accept what he alone thinks, to seek and know truth, and to act on that individual knowledge. This fact, in my view, is why most all humans remain completely unconscious for their entire lives, never understanding truth, or anything of value or honesty, and living only to accept the opinions of others, especially government, media, celebrities, and so-called experts and authority figures." It's the anesthetized herd mentality. [See the full article, How Does One Wake Up?].
How do we turn this around? As Robert Malone put it, "You have to master the art of diving down the darkest rabbit holes only to come out and function in daily life." And this means getting rid of fear in our lives. [1 John 4:17, 18; 2 Tim. 1:7]. We are of a tribe, Biblically, the tribe of the House of Israel. This is who we are. But this knowledge today deliberately remains hidden in the darkest recesses of that rabbit hole. It is this knowledge of the truth of the word of God that gives us the opportunity, the light to completely get us out of that dark hole. "But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.” [John 3:21].
Let's begin the waking up process. And remember, as Paul told the ekklesia in Thessalonica, prove all things and hold fast that which is of God. [1 Ths. 5:21]. For those of you not familiar with the content in some of the articles on this site, WE ARE NOT GENTILES. This is a foundational lie, far more deadly in the big picture of things than the "covid jabs are safe and effective" lie. The gentile lie has been pounded into the theological fabric of our nations by our Adversary for centuries in order to deceive us. It is the main reason why we are in our current day predicament. The truth of the word of God is plain, simple and incontrovertible. We are the lost sheep of the House of Israel. Those descended from Judah, the Jews, are only one nation of Israel, the House of Judah. [Map]. The Jews are not all Israel as is the common modern day misbelief. They are a small minority, about 1.5% of all Israel today. [1 Kng. 12:20-24]. And many of those claiming to be Jews are not of Israel. [Rev. 3:9; Sneakers article Tail Wagging The Dog?].
Read the last days prophecies about us in Gen. 49. “And Jacob [Israel] called his sons and said, “Gather together, that I may tell you what shall befall you in the last days ….” Judah, verses 8-12, is only one of Israel’s 12 sons who are around today. So where are the other eleven? A good place to start is by looking in the mirror. [Hosea 4].
Paul clearly wrote in the Book of Hebrews, "... how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the God of the living? And for this reason He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance." [Heb. 9:14, 15; see Heb. 8:7-9]1. Even a true believer of the false gentile narrative should be able to answer this. Question: Who were transgressors of the law, subject to the first [old] covenant made with Moses and the children of Israel, who had their sins forgiven, those of Israel or gentiles? [A: Exd. 34:27].
So then, who is the new covenant meant for that Christ, our kinsman Redeemer, delivered in the first century to cover the sins [1 John 3:4], the redemption of those who transgressed the old law covenant? This is a bit like asking what color is Superman's red cape? Christ, and the apostles were sent only to the lost sheep of the House of Israel in the Christian age to share the good news, the gospel, of redemption. [Eph. 1:3-7]. But does this truth register even one bit? Yet, quite plainly this is what is recorded in our New Testament texts. [See the Feature article, Paul Was An Apostle to The House Of Israel, Not The Gentiles]. Please read footnote.2
Christ clearly stated he was sent only to the lost sheep of the House of Israel, not to the gentiles. There is no Orwellian doublethink at play here. Read it for yourselves. Mat. 15:24. Was Christ lying? Then who is? He plainly said this to a gentile woman. He told his apostles DO NOT go to the gentiles, but only to the lost sheep of the House of Israel. Again, read it for yourself. Mat 10. 5,6. Was he lying? Then who is? The directive given by Christ was the same to all the apostles including Paul.3 For those of you wishing to invoke John 3:16, read the Feature Article, Mirror, Mirror On The Wall.
So why do "Christian" pastors and ministers contradict the clear words of Christ? Why do they say he was lying about being sent only to the lost sheep of the House of Israel? Our pastors and ministers, who should be telling us the truth, and likely don't know who comprises the House of Israel today, simply will come up with some false arguments based on lies they have learned from others, passed down over generations. Recall, "awakening means gaining for self the ability to think, to think as an individual, to think critically, to accept what he alone thinks, to seek and know truth, and to act on that individual knowledge." Don't leave your eternal destiny to the professionals. It's you, and Christ as your mediator. That's it. [1 Tim. 2:7].
If we knew we were the House of Israel, we could amend our wayward behavior, which is the first tenet of Christianity as delivered by Christ and the apostles in the first century, in light of what our LORD says to us, "Thus says the Lord GOD: “Pound your fists and stamp your feet, and say, ‘Alas, for all the evil abominations of the House of Israel! For they shall fall by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence.'" [Eze. 6:11; see the Sneakers article, Name Those Tenets]. Hmm, unprecedented murder rates, food shortages, "Covid" injuries, deaths ring a bell lately? And this is only the beginning according to the prophecies . [Highest Increase Murder Rate In Modern History].
In a prophecy in Jeremiah, our pastors, as it is in Hebrew, bāʿar, have become stupid, dull-hearted, brutish no longer receptive to the truth. [Jer. 10:20, 21]. Church attendance keeps falling as flocks become scattered due to the non-relevance of the lies. What do flying reindeer and bunny rabbits have to do with our daily lives, and our relationship with our Savior? Nothing. Our true Biblical heritage and relationship with the truth and our Savior? Everything.
We have no hope when believing we are gentiles. Christ's plain words bounce off our hearts and minds like ping pong balls off concrete. But imagine if we paid attention to the truth written in the Biblical record for us exactly as Christ said? It completely changes our entire theological worldview. It allows us to find ourselves in the Biblical prophecies, those that warn and give guidance to the House of Israel in these last days. It gives us hope and a sense of history and destiny that reindeer and bunny rabbits can't. Instead, we remain indoctrinated with the adopted pagan customs and lies we have embraced thinking we are gentiles, rather than with the truth as God's people, the House of Israel, that would set us free. [The Downstairs Life].
The truth is we’ve gotten into this mess because we've been propagandized to love these lies. It's so much easier to deal with fairy tales and illusions rather than the cold hard facts of the truth, at least until the deceits hit the fan. There's always a price to pay. And these same prophecies tell us it is a very steep price to pay by each individual. Lukewarm and apathetic, we refuse to make the effort to search out the truth because we don't see any point to it. Our theological belief that we are gentiles is a hollow, soulless existence in this world, devoid of anything more meaningful than dying and "going to Heaven," which is another pervasive Roman church fiction, a blatant lie that leads us down the rabbit hole, contrary to the Biblical record.4 [See the Feature article, Heaven Can Wait II].
On the other hand, there is an innate beauty and peace in the truth of the word of God. It is fulfilling, bonding with the spirit of those of the House of Israel who seek first the power and authority, the kingdom of God. The truth opens the door to the goodness and blessings that we all want in our lives. The lies slam it shut, complete with a posted warning, Keep Out!
Our spirits have become dulled, lukewarm believing we are gentiles, disregarding the truth of the word of God. [See Rev. 3:14-21]. Instead, stuck in our apathy, we prefer to sit back watching the talking heads on the tv news tell us what to think and what to do, tolerating the destruction that besets us daily. Look around and think about what our politicians are saying and doing to us while dumping a load of BS on us that they know we will swallow. It’s not for our benefit. Our love of the lies has blinded us. It's turned us into naive fools. [2 Ths. 2:10-12]. Where has it gotten us? Residence in our downstairs apartment. Why do we accept it? [Video: America The Beautiful; The Song].
If you are so steeped in false doctrines pushed by false prophets, politicians, and Big Pharma billionaires, that you want to continue believing you are not of the House of Israel, but a gentile, contrary to Christ’s own words, who are you following? Who is the Destroyer, the father of the lie? [John 8:44, 45].
Our nations, and individuals will continue on the prophetic apocalyptic path to our destruction unless we make positive changes, right now. Not tomorrow. It starts with each one of us. Discover and rejoice in your true Biblical heritage while the door remains open. What is happening to the collective nations of the West, the nations of the House of Israel, is the beginning of our Lord's hand being put against us in these last days, exactly as it is written to us in the prophecies. [Luke 13:25-28].
As our end times prophet Ezekiel is sent to warn us, "Cast away from you all the transgressions which you have committed, and get yourselves a new heart and a new spirit. For why should you die, O House of Israel? For I have no pleasure in the death of one who dies,” says the Lord GOD. Therefore turn and live!” [Eze. 18:31, 32]. These past few years are just the start our troubles. Disagree, scoff all you want, deceive yourself, but the truth stands, while more lies are continually invented to keep us on the path to death.
We are losing our nations, our birthright blessings, today to the evil atheists, the liars who seek to destroy us. Why do we let them continue in their lies? Why do we let them tell us who we are rather than our Savior?
We need to change from our errant ways, boldly getting out from under the blindness that the lies have shrouded us in, and step into the light of the truth. If we can’t recognize that our nations are cursed right now, and not blessed, then we will remain stubborn in our rebelliousness to the truth of the word of our Lord as the prophecies say so many of us will, not unlike our ancestors leaving Egypt. The crazy thing is, the truth is free for the getting. You just need to want to get it.
As Moses told our ancestors, twice in four words, “Remember, do not forget [we have though because we’ve lost knowledge of our Biblical ancestry] how you angered the LORD your God, in the desert from the day that you went out of the land of Egypt, until you came to this place, you have been rebelling against the LORD.” [Deu. 9:7]; see the Feature article, And Now, A Word From Our Sponsor].
Now in the Christian New Testament, 1 Corinthians, the apostle Paul, a descendant of Israel’s nation of Benjamin, from whom the first king of Israel was chosen, writes, “Moreover, brethren [Greek, ἀδελφός, adelphos, brethren in Christ, blood kin, of the same father individually, of the same fathers nationally], I do not want you to be unaware [remember, do not forget] that all our fathers were under the cloud, all passed through the sea, all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, all ate the same spiritual food, and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ.” [10:1-4; see Mat. 1:1, Rev. 22:16].
Do we choose to continue our rebellion against our Savior and the truth, to be in bondage to our adversary's lies, or will we joyfully embrace the love to the truth of the word of God? It's not a matter of God being on our side. We've abandoned his word the truth in our lives, our true heritage, hence, our current downstairs living arrangement. For us, then, it's a matter of us getting back on God's side.
As someone said, while we are entitled to our own opinions, we aren't entitled to our own set of facts, which have their own set of consequences independent of personal opinions. Therefore, we are free to believe what we want, and do what we want. This is the liberty, the freedom of choice we have from Christ. It's just a matter of which consequences we choose to experience. [See the Sneakers article, Does Romans 13 Mean We Have To Be Subject To The Evil Authority Of Men?].
"And whatever you do, do it from the heart, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance [our redemption to eternal life]; for you serve the Lord Christ. But he who does wrong will be repaid for what he has done [eternal death, i.e., the second death, Rev. 21:8], and there is no partiality." [Col. 3:23-25]. But like Adam and Eve, our nations have chosen to go with the serpent. [See the Sneakers article, As It Was In The Beginning, So It Is At The End].
Know that our Lord determines what it is that leads to blessings or curses, life or death. Let us not be cowards that pull back when confronting the truth, content to be theological shut-ins, locked down with the lies and deceits. Let us be bold, joyfully welcoming the truth. If we truly are Christians, then it's time we open the door to the light of the truth, and move out of the downstairs apartment. [Tolerance and Apathy Are The Last Virtues Of A Dying Society].
1 " ... He says: “Behold, the days are coming, says the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the House of Israel and with the House of Judah — not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt ... " The apostle Paul is quite clear in the New Testament, distinguishing between two houses, those of the Jews, Judah and those of the remainder of the nations of Israel. This old covenant propehtic quote by Paul from Jer. 31:31 refers to "their fathers," plural, clearly showing that the Jews and the rest of Israel are separate and distinct. And notice, no mention of any gentiles.
2 Some preachers will try to point out that Paul was the minister sent to the gentiles, but this is not true. Their error in thinking is due to the mistranslation of the Greek ethnos into English as gentiles, initially in the Roman church Jerome's 5th century Latin Vulgate translation, then carried over into modern translations, but not all. [See the public domain Darby translation for example; also Rom. 11:13]. The correct translation, when we allow the Biblical record to interpret itself with Old Testament historical context, is nations as in the nations of Israel, specifically the House of Israel. The entire context of the Biblical record is one book written to the same people from Genesis to Revelation, all 12 nations of Israel. Jerome's 5th century handiwork tore that apart, both Old and New Testaments to the detriment of Christianity, and for the benefit of the Roman church.
A perfect example is the first use of the word Gentiles in the New Testament. As the fifth century false prophet Jerome's Roman Church Latin Vulgate has it, English translation, "The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthali, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles ...." [Mat. 4:15; see Darby translation]. If you read Genesis 49, verses 13 and 21, it is very apparent that both Zabulon and Nephthali are two sons, two nations of Israel in the last days. They are not gentiles.
I mean, come on Jerome, this is grade school level reading comprehension. Otherwise, it is a deliberate effort to direct Christianity away from the truth to the 5th century Roman church hierarchy. And fyi, this guy Jerome screwed up the entire Bible as well, among other things, changing the number of the books from 49 to 66, then jumbled their original canonized order. Read the Feature article, Moving Forward for a detailed explanation.
Therefore, correctly, it should read Galilee of Israel's sons or Israel's nations .... which just so happens to be the land in which Christ began his ministry ... to redeem the lost sheep of the House of Israel as our Savior, just as he said. [Mat. 4:12-15, YLT; KJV Old Testament has it nations, Isa. 9:1; see Isa. 8:23, The Complete Jewish Bible, where it reads nations]. Why do we reject Isaiah's prophecy, a prophet of Israel and not the gentiles, and Christ's plain words, instead believing Jerome who has it wrong on all levels? And following Jerome's lead, modern day "Christianity" has it wrong too.
Also, in the last days prophecy of Genesis 49, in referencing Judah, our patriarch Israel said, "The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh comes ...." The symbol of authority for all Israel, the sceptre, resided with Judah, through the house of King David until Christ's first coming to redeem the House of Israel [Jer. 33:17; 1 Chr. 5:1, 2]. In Jer. 33:14 we read, "Behold, the days are coming,’ says the LORD, ‘that I will perform that good thing which I have promised to the House of Israel and to the House of Judah ....'" Again note, no gentiles in play here. Christ's first coming beginning with the redemption of the lost sheep of the House of Israel. [See Eph. 1:3-14]. In verse 17, "For thus says the LORD: ‘David shall never lack a man to sit on the throne of the House of Israel ....'" The Book of Jeremiah, as Biblical scholars have determined, was written between 626 BCE and 587 BCE.
This brings up some notable prophetic points. King David, who was dead at the time Jeremiah wrote these prophecies, was a descendant of Judah. He was king over all Israel, both houses. Yet at the time of Jeremiah writing down this prophecy, the House of Israel was non-existent. They had been divorced from our LORD beginning in 732 BCE, more than 100 years prior. [Jer. 3-6-8]. They had been taken captive by the Assyrians and scattered throughout their empire. The House of Israel ceased to exist, as nations and as a people. Hence, the lost sheep of the House of Israel. [Isa 7:8, Mat. 15:24, Ephraim is the kingly line of the House of Israel; for details, see the Feature article, Damascus A Heap Of Ruins]. Only the House of Judah was in existence at this time. Josiah was the king of Judah when "the words of the LORD came" to Jeremiah. [Jer. 1:2].
Yet, how is it Jeremiah wrote that David, a descendant of Judah, the House of Judah, would not lack for a man to sit on the throne of the House of Israel, which did not exist when he wrote this prophecy? A major theological shift occured, about 600 years later, at Christ's first coming. Christ broke the brotherhood between Judah and Israel. [Zech 11:10-14]. And Judah is blinded to the redemption of the House of Israel by Christ in the Christian age to this day. It will remain so until his return according to the prophecies. [Isa. 29:10].
Shiloh is a reference to Christ. The sceptre shifted from Judah [King David] to the House of Israel through Christ, a descendant of David, and not to the gentiles, [Luke 1:31-33; Mat. 15:24], with Ephraim being the kingly line of the House of Israel. [Gen. 48:16-20]. The royal line exists today, as does the House of Israel, exactly as the prophecies tell us. "David shall never lack a man to sit on the throne of the House of Israel ...."And as the word of our LORD is true, and cannot be broken, the sceptre was passed from queen to the new king of Ephraim very recently. [Sceptre]. However, merely because the sceptre resides with Ephraim, the royal or kingly lineage of the House of Israel today [Jer. 33:17], it does not mean the king is God's representative on Earth or that he is a man of God. It's just that the Genesis 48 & 49, Jeremiah 33 and Luke 1 prophecies are in effect today regardless of the character of the person sitting on the throne.
The shift from old covenant to new was a shift from the House of Judah to the House of Israel in the last days, the Christian age, exactly as our patriarch said in his last days prophecy to his 12 sons. Christ was sent only to redeem the lost sheep of the House of Israel at his first coming. When he returns, all Israel shall be saved, including Judah. [Rom. 11:25-27; see the Book Excerpt, Christ And The Duality Of The Atonement; also chapter six, The Hijacked Elephant].
While the ancient capital city of the House of Israel was Samaria, and was located in the land allotted to Ephraim's brother Manasseh, the city of Shiloh was in the land given to the kingly line of the House of Israel, Ephraim. See Map.
3 During Paul's first missionary journey, Paul preached in the synagogue in Antioch of Pisidia. This is a pivotal point of Christian understanding. When the Jews in the synagogue, along with those descendants of the nations of Israel, heard Paul preach the gospel of Christianity, Judah, the Jews rejected it, fulfilling many Biblical prophecies, including the sceptre departing from Judah to Israel. [Zec. 11:14; Acts 13:44-49; note, the DBY as well as the YLT translators correctly have it nations, while the editors at BLB inserted "Paul Turns To The Gentiles" in the section header, misleading readers a la Jerome. Also misleading is that if you search the BLB for the "House of Israel," there are no references given for the New Testament, though there are several mentions in the gospels, Acts and writings of the apostles. As Christ said in the New Testament gospel of Matthew, "I am sent only to the lost sheep of the House of Israel."
Paul then turned to the nations of the House of Israel, with whom our LORD says in the Old Testament, "Thus they shall know that I, the LORD their God, am with them, and they, the House of Israel, are My people, says the Lord GOD" [Jer. 34:30] and in the New Testament, "I will make a new covenant with the House of Israel ...." [Heb. 8:8]. No where is there any mention of a covenant, new or old, with gentiles. Paul's ministry was the same as all the other apostles directed by Christ. But because of Jerome's mistranslation of the Greek ethnos into gentiles rather than nations, this out of Biblical context, incorrectly translated verse, more than any other eliminated the House of Israel from the New Testament awareness over the centuries even though the entirety of the New Testament is for the House of Israel. It's a cunning, and deadly deception from which we suffer today. [For the details, see the Feature article, The Good News Colour Revolution].
4 For those who may think I'm unfairly picking on the Roman church, I have experienced that of which I write. I came from a rather large extended devoutly Roman Catholic family. I endured all the catechism indoctrination up to confirmation, and escaped being an altar boy. One of my aunts was a nun. And having visited the Vatican, the pagan origins of the church are starkly apparent. [Pagan Vatican Art, Graven Images]. It is the process of awakening that leads to the truth and the light by which to see clearly the lies and deceits.
What may appear to be a daunting trek into the unknown when looking forward, becomes an exciting adventure in new discoveries on our way to the summit of the truth. We come to realize our journey becomes one of exploring the fortitude of our own personal faith. As Sir Edmind Hillary said after climbing Mt. Everest, it's not the mountains that we conquer, but ourselves. No one but ourselves can climb the mountain, the unconquered peaks that lie within each of us. Thus, we come full circle, which brings us back to the awakened individual that has been to the summit. [See the Prologue, p. 19, The Blind Man's Elephant].
