Genesis 16:1 - Now Sarai Abram's wife bare him no children: and she had an handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.
Genesis 16:2 - And Sarai said unto Abram, Behold now, the LORD hath restrained me from bearing: I pray thee, go in unto my maid; it may be that I may obtain children by her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai.
Genesis 16:3 - And Sarai Abram's wife took Hagar her maid the Egyptian, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife.
Genesis 16:15 - And Hagar bare Abram a son: and Abram called his son's name, which Hagar bare, Ishmael.
FYI: Seeing as how she wasn't able to bear children, Sarai proposed to Abram that he take another wife so that through his second wife, she could bear children unto him through her. This act was not of anything you see today with men who take on second wives just to fulfill their lust of the flesh, but this was done rather as an act to build a family. Abraham we already know was black, just like the original Egyptians who were black. So with Hagar being Egyptian that would make her black, so if she gave birth to a son after conceiving with this black man named Abraham, that would make her son black also, thus proving Ishmael was black. In Genesis 21:21, we learn that Hagar his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt, so with Abraham being black and Hagar being black and Ishmael being black and marrying a black woman, cause the original Egyptians were black, this would mean Ishmael seed would be black as well. This is very key information to know when it comes to understanding who Esau was and his skin tone.
Genesis 26:34 - And Esau was forty years old when he took to wife Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Bashemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite:
FYI: The Hittite were the descendants of the Canaanites and the Canaanites were the descendants of Ham, and Ham and his descendants were black. So this proves Esau married two black women. So even if Esau was white, though he isn't, that mean when he slept with these black women and had children by them, they would look Mulatto, not white. So that alone kills the Esau being the white man theory, cause black genes are the dominate gene, so after a generation would have passed, you wouldn't be able to look at these black women children by Esau and be able to identify them as white. So do you see the false doctrine of Esau being the white man? Lets examine another precept!
Genesis 28:9 - Then went Esau unto Ishmael, and took unto the wives which he had Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael Abraham's son, the sister of Nebajoth, to be his wife.
FYI: Esau went unto Ishmael, which we already know he was black, cause Abraham was black, and he married the Egyptian Hagar who was black. So what you have here is Esau marrying a Ishmaelite, thus making him now have 3 black wives. So to further smash this false doctrine of Esau being the white man, lets go directly to the precept these clowns use to teach that damnable doctrine.
Genesis 25:25 - And the first came out red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.
FYI: Now ask yourself, did the precept say "he came out red and hairy"? No, it said he came out red all over, then it said "Like", in which the word like means resembling or similar. So go to 132 in the Hebrew, and you get the word "admoni", which means - red, ruddy, Or (fully) admowniy {ad-mo-nee'}; from 'adam; reddish (of the hair or the complexion) -- red, ruddy. So red could mean from the hair or the complexion, so you must discover which one was it talking about. So we go to 6215 in the Hebrew to get the definition of the word Esau which means - "hairy". So Esau means hairy, meaning his parents named him Esau because he was hairy. Lets further prove this with the Josephus so we can put a nail in this doctrine!
CHAPTER 18.
CONCERNING THE SONS OF ISAAC, ESAU AND JACOB; OF THEIR NATIVITY AND EDUCATION.
1. NOW Isaac's wife proved with child, after the death of Abraham; (30) and when her belly was greatly burdened, Isaac was very anxious, and inquired of God; who answered, that Rebeka should bear twins; and that two nations should take the names of those sons; and that he who appeared the second should excel the elder. Accordingly she, in a little time, as God had foretold, bare twins; the elder of whom, from his head to his feet, was very rough and hairy; but the younger took hold of his heel as they were in the birth. Now the father loved the elder, who was called Esau, a name agreeable to his roughness, for the Hebrews call such a hairy roughness [Esau, (31) or] Seir; but Jacob the younger was best beloved by his mother.
FYI: Bare twins, in which Esau and Jacob were two manner of people, because they were fraternal twins. When two eggs are independently fertilized by two different sperm cells, DZ twins result. The two eggs, or ova, form two zygotes. Dizygotic twins, like any other siblings, have an extremely small chance of having the same chromosome profile. Like any other siblings, DZ twins may look similar, particularly given that they are the same age. However, DZ twins may also look very different from each other, thus would that make them two manner of people with one having a distinct appeal, in which Esau did. From his head to his feet, was very rough and hairy, so when you go back and read "the first came out red all over, like a hairy garment", therefore they named him Esau which means hairy. So you see it had nothing to do with his skin tone, understand that you can touch a hairy garment and you can feel a hairy garment, now can you touch and feel the color red? No, you can't do so unless its on or attached to something. So the only way in this verse you can touch the color red is if you dealing with red hair, so when it says the first came out red all over LIKE a hairy garment, was because he was covered with red hair, thus making him red all over. So Esau was black just like Jacob but with red hair, just like Red Foxx who was called Red, and Malcolm X who was called Red and Sinbad who was called Red, does that mean their white? No, it means they are black men with red hair, simple and plain. This easy work, but lets further prove this some more.
Genesis 27:11 - And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man:
FYI: Jacob's was weary of the consequences and deception of the act if his father was to perceive it was him trying to gain the blessings, and not Esau. Which if you notice, Jacob never said behold, Esau my brother is a white man, and I am a black man, naw he said my brother is a hairy man, thus proving that when it said he came out red all over, it was in reference to hair which covered his body, not skin tone. Hypertrichosis or werewolf syndrome is a medical term referring to a condition of excessive body hair. It can be generalized, symmetrically affecting most of the torso and limbs, or localized, affecting an area of skin. It may be mild or severe. In most cases, the term is used to refer to an above-average amount of normal body hair that is unwanted and is an aspect of human variability. It is also often due to ethnic and geographic influences. So as you see, it has nothing to do with being white nor means one is white just because they are hairy, that's a ignorant and racist teaching. Jacob said my brother, he didn't say my enemy, so the so called Israelites forget this - Deuteronomy 23:7 - Thou shalt not abhor an Edomite; for he is thy brother: thou shalt not abhor an Egyptian; because thou wast a stranger in his land. Now this when you real spiritually retarded, these clowns are calling the white man Gentiles and Edomites, forgetting if they are Edomites (which they are not), then how could you hate your brother without being in direct disobedience to the Most High's word? So if your vision is off in that, then how can you identify yourself as apart of Jacob without being able to see yourself in Esau his brother? You have been deceived and on your way to hell if you don't repent, Esau was a black man not a white man folks. Lets further prove this to add yet another nail in that coffin doctrine!
Genesis 27:15 - And Rebekah took goodly raiment of her eldest son Esau, which were with her in the house, and put them upon Jacob her younger son:
Genesis 27:16 - And she put the skins of the kids of the goats upon his hands, and upon the smooth of his neck
FYI: Remember up above when I stated "understand that you can touch a hairy garment and you can feel a hairy garment, now can you touch and feel the color red? No, you can't do so unless its on or attached to something", remember I said that? So here you see this as proof, cause Rebekah was putting the best clothes of her son Esau upon Jacob, which clothes are garments, meaning you can touch them. So again this proves, that the only way in that verse you can touch the color red was if you dealing with red hair, which is something you can touch, which you see here Rebekah was looking for something Isaac could touch in order to identify Esau.
Question: What did Isaac say when Jacob claimed to be Esau?
Genesis 27:21 - And Isaac said unto Jacob, Come near, I pray thee, that I may feel thee, my son, whether thou be my very son Esau or not.
FYI: Isaac said come near, I pray thee, that I may FEEL thee, keyword was FEEL, thus meaning in order to identify Esau he had to see if he was hairy like a garment, not white like snow. Do you see how foolish this Esau is the white man doctrine is? Lets go to the Josephus and further dig a hole for this dirt teaching to be buried under, once again this is Easy Work!
CHAPTER 18.
CONCERNING THE SONS OF ISAAC, ESAU AND JACOB; OF THEIR NATIVITY AND EDUCATION.
6. Accordingly, Esau went out a hunting. But Rebeka (33) thinking it proper to have the supplication made for obtaining the favor of God to Jacob, and that without the consent of Isaac, bid him kill kids of the goats, and prepare a supper. So Jacob obeyed his mother, according to all her instructions. Now when the supper was got ready, he took a goat's skin, and put it about his arm, that by reason of its hairy roughness, he might by his father be believed to be Esau; for they being twins, and in all things else alike, differed only in this thing.
FYI: Put a goat skin about his arm, because of its hairy roughness, so that his father would believe him to be Esau, for they being as I showed you earlier, fraternal twins, which may also look very different from each other, in which you know to be the truth in case of Esau. He was hairy and his brother was not, and the precept said for they being twins, and in all things else alike. So how can any of these so called Israelite cults teach Esau as being the white man, and Jacob as being black, when here it CLEARLY STATES, that the only difference between the two was that Esau was hairy and Jacob was not, but in all things else, which would include SKIN TONE, they were alike? These were black men that come from black parents, come out of these camps that teach such damnable doctrine as such, they got you on your way to hell behind this racist rebuttal teaching of the KKK's Ham being all black men in which the Klan handed down just to justify enslaving black people. Can't you see somebody is playing you for a monkey fool? How can they tell you about obeying a voice to flee out of the country, but yet can't even see they teaching a doctrine to hate their brother in which they think is white but can't see is black? Where could they possibly lead you to except straight to hell? This doctrine was taught to the Commandment Keepers by the Jewish synagogue of Satan, to begin spreading in Harlem this hateful doctrine that when the time permit, would add fuel to a race war. This doctrine throws off one's entire understanding of trying to determine who the 12 tribes of Israel are today. Let me further add another nail in the coffin!
Lamentations 4:7 - Her Nazarites were purer than snow, they were whiter than milk, they were more ruddy in body than rubies, their polishing was of sapphire:
FYI: Nazarites were Israelites who had taken the Nazarite vow, and the precept said they were more ruddy in body than rubies. This ruddy is 119 in the Hebrew which means - adom - to be red, To show blood (in the face), i.e. Flush or turn rosy -- be (dyed, made) red (ruddy). The precept said they were red in the body, thus showing the color red as far as skin tone, was common among Israel who were black people, thus was Esau a black man with red hair. Now knowing Ishmael was black and Esau was black, lets go to the book that all these Israelite cults carry, but yet will never show you this information, because it would expose them and destroy their whole 12 tribe breakdown.
Antiquities 13.9.1 (Josephus)
Paragraph 257 - Hyrcanus took also Dora and Marissa, cities of Idumea, and subdued all the Idumeans; and permitted them to stay in that country, if they would circumcise their genitals, and make use of the laws of the Jews; and they were so desirous of living in the country of their forefathers, that they submitted to the use of circumcision, (25) and of the rest of the Jewish ways of living; at which time therefore this befell them, that they were hereafter no other than Jews.
FYI: Hyrcanus was a Hebrew Israelite, he conquered the Idumea cities. Idumea, is the Greek word for Esau or Edom, so Hyranus took cities of Esau, in which they had been staying in Southern Palestine ever since the children of Israel went into captivity under Nebuchadnezzar about 400 years ago from this time Josephus was writing. So Hyrcanus permitted them to stay, only if they were to circumcise their genitals like Israel was commanded to do. So being desirous to live in the land of their forefathers, which were Israelites, because Edom was the twin brother to Jacob who was black, just like Esau was black, so was their father Isaac and their mother Rebekah also black. So the Edomites agreed to follow everything the Most High had taught to Moses to give unto Israel, and it said that they were hereafter no other than Jews, meaning from that day they were called Israel and not Edom. So what do you have, Edomites who converted over to the ways of the Israelites, you'll never see these so called Esau is the white man Israelite groups show you this, despite them having a Josephus, cause then they would have some explaining to do. Cause if the Edomites were converted over to the ways of the Israelites, and were called Israel, then how could they hate Esau and condemn them, without hating and condemning themselves? That's too tight for them, which further shows you Esau was not the white man but rather a black man. Lets examine this endnote here also in text.
Endnote 25
But still, take out of Dean Prideaux, at the year 129, the words of Ammouius, a grammarian, which fully confirm this account of the Idumeans in Josephus: "The Jews," says he, are such by nature, and from the beginning, whilst the Idumeans were not Jews from the beginning, but Phoenicians and Syrians; but being afterward subdued by the Jews, and compelled to be circumcised, and to unite into one nation, and be subject to the same laws, they were called Jews." Dio also says, as the Dean there quotes him, from Book XXXVI. p. 37, "That country is called Judea, and the people Jews; and this name is given also to as many others as embrace their religion, though of other nations."
FYI: The Jews are such by nature, and from the beginning, thus meaning they are actually Jews by blood. Then it says, the Idumeans which are your Edomites, were not Jews from the beginning, which we know that because we just read up above how Hyrcanus converted them over to the ways of Israel. Phoenicians are Canaanites and Syrians were Aramites, who are called Aramites because they came from Aram, in which Abraham wife Sarai was a Syrian and we know she was black also, just like the Canaanites deriving from Ham who we know was black. So what you have, is these black nations who where subdued by the Jews which was and is a black nation, who were forced to unite as one nation and become Jews. So anybody that converted over to following the Jews way of life given unto them by the Most High, were called Jews by the Jews, and notice they dwelt in Judea which Christ gave this warning in Luke 21:21 - Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto. So when the Jews fled out of Judea and Jerusalem in 70 AD, the Edomites and Canaanites and Syrians who were converted to become Jews, were among those that fled. So saying your Israel just because you fled Jerusalem in 70 AD running from Roman persecution, holds no weight because so did the other nations who were converted over to become Jews. So how did these so called 12 tribe breakdown groups come up with what tribe people are from today, if DNA testing was not done on the people who fled out of Judea? So they would be lying, giving in to wishful thinking and causing a stumbling block before the people, cause its impossible for them to identify from what tribe each and everyone is from. We bringing the heat to this doctrine today!
Antiquities 13.11.1 (Josephus)
He was called a lover of the Grecians; and had conferred many benefits on his own country, and made war against Iturea, and added a great part of it to Judea, and compelled the inhabitants, if they would continue in that country, to be circumcised, and to live according to the Jewish laws.
FYI: So Aristobulus who was a Hebrew Israelite, and the son of Hyrcanus, he took the Itureans and subdued them, and he made them live according to the laws of the Jews just like his father Hyrcanus had done to the Edomites, and the Canaanites, and the Syrians. So who are the Itureans? They are Ishmaelites in which are black people, and here were learn they also were converted over to the ways of the Jews. So you got Edomites, Ishmaelites, Canaanites, and Syrians, who were all converted over to becoming Jews. So how can these groups today tell you what tribe your from, if Judah was composed of nations that they teach are Gentiles? See again, this gets tight on them which is why you'll never see them touch on the matter or even get this technical, because they'll expose themselves and have to repent, but pride will not suffer them to do so because to many people they appear to be learned. So to have to turn around and say they were incorrect in their understanding, would be to much of a shame for them, so they will continue teaching false doctrine. So now lets go to Wars 5.6.1 paragraph 248 (Josephus).
Wars 5.6.1 paragraph 248 (Josephus)
NOW the warlike men that were in the city, and the multitude of the seditious that were with Simon, were ten thousand, besides the Idumeans.
FYI: Simon was an Edomite and here he is within the gates of the temple guarding it trying to keep the Romans out, he was an Edomite ruling over the Edomites. Let me guess, these so called scholars and teachers of light didn't tell you that Edomites were along side Israel helping to fight against the Romans? Hmm, I wonder why, cause how could they teach Esau as being the white man, seeing as how the Romans being white themselves, but yet taking into captivity other white people? That makes about as much sense as trying to eat cereal with a fork, the Romans were coming against black people regardless of the tribe they were from, a nigger is a nigger they all the same color, that's how some white people saw it back and then and that's how some still do today.
Wars 5.6.1 paragraph 248 (Josephus)
Those ten thousand had fifty commanders, over whom this Simon was supreme. The Idumeans that paid him homage were five thousand, and had eight commanders, among whom those of greatest fame were Jacob the son of Sosas, and Simon the son of Cathlas. Jotre, who had seized upon the temple, had six thousand armed men under twenty commanders; the zealots also that had come over to him, and left off their opposition, were two thousand four hundred, and had the same commander that they had formerly, Eleazar, together with Simon the son of Arinus. Now, while these factions fought one against another, the people were their prey on both sides, as we have said already; and that part of the people who would not join with them in their wicked practices were plundered by both factions.
FYI: The Zealots were Hebrew Israelites who were trying to overthrow the Roman government. So you have here Hebrew Israelites submitting themselves to this Edomite named John to help them fight against the Romans. By saying left off their opposition, its letting you know at first they were against each other, but now they joining forces. So you have Simon and his crew fighting against John and his crew, and both of these crews are mixed with Edomites and Israelites. These two guys became tyrants and they were killing the citizens of Israel, anybody who didn't want to join them in their rebellion, they were killing them, that's why it said the people were their prey. Now lets go to paragraph 257 and read this:
Paragraph 257
But it was most of all unhappy before it was overthrown, while those that took it did it a greater kindness for I venture to affirm that the sedition destroyed the city, and the Romans destroyed the sedition, which it was a much harder thing to do than to destroy the walls; so that we may justly ascribe our misfortunes to our own people, and the just vengeance taken on them to the Romans; as to which matter let every one determine by the actions on both sides.
FYI: The sedition was Simon and his crew and John and his crew and it was other crews that rebelled against the Romans to. The Romans destroyed the sedition, which Edomites were among the seditions, thus meaning the Romans were killing Edomites to. It was Israel's fought that Jerusalem got destroyed in 70 AD, and the Edomites were fighting right along side with them. So the Edomites, Simon and John, were both over these sedition's, in which some had zealots with them which are Hebrew Israelites, helping to fight against the Romans. This John here was killed when he was over the wall talking to a soldier he knew, he got hit with a straight arrow, then later on another John come along. So lets see what their fate was, because it is very key in today's sense of understanding in regards to the Curses.
War.6.9.2 (Josephus)
Paragraph 417- 418
So this Fronto slew all those that had been seditious and robbers, who were impeached one by another; but of the young men he chose out the tallest and most beautiful, and reserved them for the triumph; and as for the rest of the multitude that were above seventeen years old, he put them into bonds, and sent them to the Egyptian mines (31) Titus also sent a great number into the provinces, as a present to them, that they might be destroyed upon their theatres, by the sword and by the wild beasts; but those that were under seventeen years of age were sold for slaves.
FYI: Fronto was a guy who was working for Titus and he slew all those that had been rebellious. He put them in bonds, which bonds means slavery, so Edom being apart of the rebellious along side the zealots which were Israelites, they also went into captivity in 70 AD. So how could Esau be the white man, if none of the curses in Leviticus 26 and Deuteronomy 28 perfectly suit white people? When have they ever gone on ships into slavery? Never, so this again proves, Edomites were black, Esau was a black man with red hair just like Sinbad who was called Red, Malcolm X who was called Red, and Redd Foxx who was called Red, all because of the complexion of their hair. So this proves, one cannot say they know their an Israelite because they went into captivity, because others nations consisted of the Jews.
In Deuteronomy 28:68 it said - And the LORD shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you.
FYI: Wait a minute, we just read up above in the Josephus how Titus took some and made them slaves, and sent them to the Egyptians mines, which would mean upon this captivity, they had to physically return to Egypt by way of ships. Also we read how he took those that were under 17 years of age, and sold them for slaves, which prophecy said the Jews would be sold unto their enemies as slaves. So this was literally fulfilled, which took place subsequently to the destruction of Jerusalem by Titus, and the desolation by Hadrian. The captives were sent by sea into Egypt as well as into other countries, and sold for slaves, and many thousands were left to perish from want, because the multitude was so great, that purchasers could not be found for them all at any price and because they were so loathsome and contemptible that men were not willing to have them for slaves, thus fulfilling prophecy which said "and no man shall buy you". This is not talking about us coming over from Africa on slave ships, how could that be so when their was more than enough money for the fake Jews to sponsor the slave trade and to sell us and for the Europeans to buy us? If you notice, these groups never bring out history proving that the bible spoke the truth, instead they want you take their word for it as being the truth, despite not having any historical proof. When the precept says, "and the Lord shall bring thee into Egypt again, is showing that the first time Israel was in Egypt it was because it was his will that they be.
FYI: So to bring them again, is showing it is his will, as where before they came on feet into Egypt, this time they would be brought back on ships. Israel came out of Egypt on feet on dry land, in which they would have had to come out by sea on ship, but the Most High performed this miracle of holding back the waters for them to cross. This time would no miracle be worked for them, but instead the Most High would let them be taken captive on board ships and be sold as slaves once again to their enemies. So now do you see how far off in understanding these hate teaching groups really are? So if Hyrcanus and his son Aristobulus who were Hebrew Israelites, subdued and converted Edomites, Ishmaelites, Canaanites, and Syrians, over to becoming Jews, then how can these groups today tell you what tribe your from, if Judah was composed of nations that they teach are Gentiles, but yet went into captivity in 70 AD as being considered Jews? Why you think the Most High has their knowledge confined to just knowing the curses, and not this information despite having a Josephus themselves? Why you think he hasn't showed this to them? Why you think they only can pull out the book "From Babylon to Timbuktu", and show you the Jews fled and were sold as slaves? Now Roger that! So lets examine something else that they will never tell you but yet keep teaching a 12 tribe false breakdown and a Esau is the white man false breakdown.
War 6.9.3 (420-421, 429)
3. Now the number (32) of those that were carried captive during this whole war was collected to be ninety-seven thousand; as was the number of those that perished during the whole siege eleven hundred thousand, the greater part of whom were indeed of the same nation [with the citizens of Jerusalem], but not belonging to the city itself; for they were come up from all the country to the feast of unleavened bread, and were on a sudden shut up by an army, which, at the very first, occasioned so great a straitness among them, that there came a pestilential destruction upon them, and soon afterward such a famine, as destroyed them more suddenly.
FYI: First of all, the passage said that were "carried" captive, so where they carried literally on the backs of Titus Army, or were they carried across desert on feet? Neither, having the captives walk across the desert would risk them escaping, and thus subjecting Titus and his army to the possibility of losing control and management of them. So by what other way could 97,000 people be successfully carried captive without using ships? Come on now, you know these people were carried captive away on cargo slave ships, but you will not let go of the doctrine of these cults because when you first heard it, it made you feel as if you were somebody of honor. So not having no honor anytime else in your life, you seize the opportunity presented by way of these cults, and later break away from them, but can't see you still apart of them spiritually, cause your beliefs have the DNA of these cults in them. You wouldn't have a belief had it not been for these cults, because the Most High didn't wake you up, these camps did, and if they were of the truth, you wouldn't have left them, which shows that either they were telling complete lies, or they were mixing both truth and lies which is what Satan does either way. So that means your understanding is polluted, your partially right and partially wrong, meaning you have no solid foundation for your beliefs, which shows you it was not the Most High that woke you up, cause whenever has he directed anyone to falsehood and truth together in order to gain a clear understanding? Never, so Satan authorized your awakening as you would call it, come on now people call a spade a spade.
Jewish Encyclopedia
The Judean Triumph and Medals
In the eyes of the Roman people Vespasian and Titus shared in the glory of the subjugation of Palestine, yet neither of them assumed the title "Judaicus," probably because this term referred to the religion as well as to the nationality of the Jews. In addition to the honors bestowed on Titus by the Senate, and the memorials erected to his praise, several decrees and monuments refer to Vespasian. The coins bearing the legend "victoria navalis" probably commemorate his pursuit of the Jews at Tarichæa on rafts, and the same circumstance doubtless explains why Titus brought a large number of ships with him when he entered Rome in triumph (ib. vii. 5, § 5). Together with his sons Titus and Domitian, Vespasian celebrated his own triumph in the year 71 (ib. vii. 5, § 7; Dio Cassius, lxvi. 7). In addition to the triumphal arch erected in honor of Titus, which still stands near the Roman Forum, another arch of Titus existed, until the fifteenth century, in the Circus Maximus, which bore an inscription expressly stating that Titus had conquered the Jewish people at the command and counsel of his father, and under his auspices ("C. I. L." vi., No. 944; "R. E. J." i. 35). All three Flavian emperors struck coins with such legends as Ἰουδαίας ἐαδωκυίας "Iudæa devicta," or "Iudæa capta" (Madden, "Coins of the Jews," pp. 207-229), and numerous inscriptions furnish material for an exact determination of the names of the legions and officers that took part in the war; such lists have been compiled by Arsène Darmesteter and Joseph Offord.
FYI: Amazing how Titus came back to Rome with a large number of ships, and these brothers and sisters in these cults, still can't see the ships were for the captives, as prophecy stated.
Bible Encyclopedia
Titus had 90,000 captives after Jerusalem was taken. Those above seventeen years of age were sent to different parts of the Roman empire to labor on the public works, besides great numbers who perished in compulsory combats with wild beasts. Those under seventeen were doomed to be sold for slaves; but in such deep contempt and detestation was the nation held, that few were willing to buy them; and the Jews who remained at large, were too few and poor to be able to redeem their brethren. The market was also glutted with their numbers, so that they were sold at a mere nominal price, -- sometimes thirty for a small piece of money. Those who remained unpurchased were sent into confinement, where they perished by hundreds and by thousands together, from neglect and hunger. Egypt received a large proportion of these slaves, who were probably sent thither in ships, as the Romans had a fleet in the Mediterranean, and this was a much easier and safer way of transporting them than by land across the desert. The same things precisely took place on the final desolation of Israel by Hadrian, who may be said to have consummated their doom by decreeing, with the concurrence of the Roman Senate, that no Jew should ever, on pain of death, enter the land of his fathers." -- Illust. Comment. in loco.
FYI: Come on now, do I even have to explain this, cause its self explanatory, this is Deuteronomy 28:68 thus showing it has been literally fulfilled. Come out of these cults and do so leaving their mentality of comprehension, on a toothbrush so others can learn to swallow their pride. Sad that we must waste ourselves in time to go over basics once again, when there is more larger things as you know, that we focus upon. The last overthrow by Adrian many thousands were sold, and what could not be sold were transported into Egypt, and perished by “shipwreck”, or famine, or were slaughtered by the people whereby this prophecy was literally and exactly fulfilled.
War 6.9.3 (420-421, 429)
3. Now the number (32) of those that were carried captive during this whole war was collected to be ninety-seven thousand; as was the number of those that perished during the whole siege eleven hundred thousand, the greater part of whom were indeed of the same nation [with the citizens of Jerusalem], but not belonging to the city itself; for they were come up from all the country to the feast of unleavened bread, and were on a sudden shut up by an army, which, at the very first, occasioned so great a straitness among them, that there came a pestilential destruction upon them, and soon afterward such a famine, as destroyed them more suddenly.
FYI: With the citizens of Jerusalem, meaning they were of the same nation with some being converted over as we read, were indeed citizens of Israel, but not in Jerusalem itself, just like we read the Jews were by blood, as where the converts were not. So these converts had come up from all the country to the feast of unleavened bread, totally unaware of the events that were about to happen. Then the Roman guards surrounded them and trapped them in Jerusalem, so these new converts were unaware of this warning by Christ - Luke 21:20 - And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. So being newly converts, they didn't know to look out for the Roman armies nor did they know Jerusalem the city they had came up to, was about to be destroyed and they would be locked in it, otherwise, they wouldn't have came. Notice also the precept says "number of those that were carried captive", because Christ also said in Luke 21:24 - And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
FYI: The precept also told you that there came a pestilential destruction upon them, and soon afterward a famine, in which Christ also said this ahead of time warning the people in Luke 21:11 - And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven. Where can we read about famines happening to prove this?
Josephus 5.10.2
2. But as for the richer sort, it proved all one to them whether they staid in the city, or attempted to get out of it; for they were equally destroyed in both cases; for every such person was put to death under this pretense, that they were going to desert, but in reality that the robbers might get what they had. The madness of the seditious did also increase together with their famine, and both those miseries were every day inflamed more and more; for there was no corn which any where appeared publicly, but the robbers came running into, and searched men's private houses; and then, if they found any, they tormented them, because they had denied they had any; and if they found none, they tormented them worse, because they supposed they had more carefully concealed it. The indication they made use of whether they had any or not was taken from the bodies of these miserable wretches; which, if they were in good case, they supposed they were in no want at all of food; but if they were wasted away, they walked off without searching any further; nor did they think it proper to kill such as these, because they saw they would very soon die of themselves for want of food.
FYI: The madness of the seditious did also increase together, with their famine? Every day inflamed more and more, for there was no corn which anywhere publicly, sounds like they were going through famines in certain places just as Christ prophesied. But what about the earthquakes?
Josephus 4.4.5
5. And now did the Idumeans make an acclamation to what Simon had said; but Jesus went away sorrowful, as seeing that the Idumeans were against all moderate counsels, and that the city was besieged on both sides. Nor indeed were the minds of the Idumeans at rest; for they were in a rage at the injury that had been offered them by their exclusion out of the city; and when they thought the zealots had been strong, but saw nothing of theirs to support them, they were in doubt about the matter, and many of them repented that they had come thither. But the shame that would attend them in case they returned without doing any thing at all, so far overcame that their repentance, that they lay all night before the wall, though in a very bad encampment; for there broke out a prodigious storm in the night, with the utmost violence, and very strong winds, with the largest showers of rain, with continued lightnings, terrible thunderings, and amazing concussions and bellowings of the earth, that was in an earthquake. These things were a manifest indication that some destruction was coming upon men, when the system of the world was put into this disorder; and any one would guess that these wonders foreshowed some grand calamities that were coming.
FYI: What happen? There broke out a storm in the night, with the utmost violence, and very strong winds, with the largest showers of rain, with continued lightnings, terrible thunderings and amazing concussions and bellowings of the earth, thus meaning EARTHQUAKES! All these things were a manifest indication that some destruction was coming upon men, in which the disciples had asked Christ Luke 21:7 - And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass? Earthquakes, pestilence and famines as you see happened here in 70 AD, just as Christ had told them the end of the age was near, meaning the Hebrew age, not the whole world. Now you see those who trying to use Matthew 24 in regards to the earthquakes and so forth as being signs, are spiritually retarded, and need to humble themselves so the Most High can step their knowledge up, like they always trying to tell others not in the truth, one really in particular. So what else happen to these people who became Jews? Well lets go over to paragraph 429!
War 6.9.3
Accordingly, the multitude of those that therein perished exceeded all the destructions that either men or God ever brought upon the world; for, to speak only of what was publicly known, the Romans slew some of them, some they carried captives, and others they made a search for under ground, and when they found where they were, they broke up the ground and slew all they met with.
FYI: Amazing how the precept says "the multitude of those that therein perished, exceed all the destructions that either men or God EVER brought upon the world. So can the bible tell us what day this was? Jeremiah 30:7 - Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble, but he shall be saved out of it. The destruction of Jerusalem and the temple in 70 AD, was the great day that none was like it, thus known as Jacob's Trouble. So if Hyrcanus and his son Aristobulus who were Hebrew Israelites, subdued and converted Edomites, Ishmaelites, Canaanites, and Syrians, over to becoming Jews, then how can these groups today tell you what tribe your from, if Judah was composed of nations that they teach are Gentiles, but yet went into captivity in 70 AD as being considered Jews? Then these groups tell you that, on the day of Pentecost only Jews were present, indeed they right, but the bible never said they were all Jews by blood, hmmm.
Acts 2:5 - And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.
FYI: Out of every nation under heaven, which is amazing, cause in the Josephus as we read earlier in War 6.9.3 (420-421, 429), it said "the greater part of whom were indeed of the same nation [with the citizens of Jerusalem], but not belonging to the city itself; for they were come up from all the country to the feast of unleavened bread". Hmm, seem like the Josephus backing up every word the bible said!
Acts 2:10 - Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes,
FYI: Phrygia, and Pamphylia, which are parts of what is called Asia Minor, then you got Egypt which is the great African province where many ten thousands of Jews had their home, then you got Libya which is part of Africa, then you got Cyrene, which was a great Grecian city on the coast west of Egypt, in which it is said that one-fourth of the population of Cyrene was Jewish, then you got Strangers of Rome, which were Roman Jews sojourning at Jerusalem, then you got Proselytes, which are Gentiles who had been converted to the ways of the Jews. Now isn't that amazing, because remember Hyrcanus and his son Aristobulus who were Hebrew Israelites, subdued Edomites and Ishamelites and Canaanites and Syrians, and converted them over to the ways of the Jews, thus were they no longer called by their respective national names, but rather became known as Jews. So knowing that, again I ask you, how can these groups today tell you what tribe your from, if Judah was composed of nations that they teach are Gentiles, but yet went into captivity in 70 AD as being considered Jews? Christ never told the disciples what tribe they were from, nor did Paul tell the people what tribe they were from, and they all were under the Spirit of the Most High. So who told these people today something that Christ and apostles never told anybody? The man that is the founder of their camp!
FYI: If they were converted to Israelites, then that would make them Israelites, the question is, who is an Israelite by blood and who is an Israelite by conversion? Without DNA testing on those who came out of Jerusalem in 70 AD, it is impossible to know until the return of Christ. Christ came for the Lost Sheep, but he never told them which tribe they were from, nor did the apostles tell the people what tribe they were from. Its eye catching when one comes into the truth to hear the 12 tribe breakdown, so because of the excitement state of mind one is in, they'll never question it or doubt it because its presented so well. So they will hold fast to the teaching because of the emotional aspect it gave them upon finding out, and the thought of them considering themselves to be in the truth, and still finding out they were hoodwinked, arouses up them to anger. The curses from Leviticus 26 and Deuteronomy 28 are correct, but people are claiming to be Israel based off of them, failing to realize more than one black nation made up Israel who also went into captivity alongside Israel being considered as Israel. When the slave master got them, they didn't say "ok Edom on this side, Canaanites on this side, Syrians on this side, and Ishmaelites on this side", naw they classified them all as niggers and put them together because of their skin tone. Just like today, they don't persecute us because we are Baptist and Methodist and Catholic and Pentecostal, naw, they do so because were black skinned, they don't care about the title we address ourselves as, we niggers to them regardless. Shalom brothers and sisters! (This is light weight, I can come much harder with ease)!
