On the podcast today we discuss a few books. "The Book of Enoch" in the Ethiopian Bible, the first century historian "Josephus," and a lesser known title "From Enoch to the Dead Sea Scrolls." Forgive me for any misreadings recorded this podcast at 1am in the morning so was a little tired. God Bless and Shlama Alaykun.

Welcome to the God Pod. So, we're going to start off today with the Ethiopian Bible. This is just, uh, I just, I gave away my other one that I had on my notes and this is a new one. Um, so, this book has a handful of books that aren't in the King James Version or what the King James Version is based on. Like the Septuagint, um, which we discussed a little bit last time, but the Septuagint was made in, you know, it was, um, the Septuagint was commissioned in the 2nd century B.C. by Ptolemy II under his reign. Um, and they, you know, the story goes the 70 rabbis, um, all came up with, uh, the Septuagint, essentially. Well, let's make a long story short. But, at the same time, we're going to talk about the untold history. So, the untold history is that the Essenes, which is, uh, they call a sect of Judaism. Um, but really, in actuality, they were the way, right? So, they go all the way back to the Ethiopian Bible, right? And the reason I say this is because the book of Enoch, okay, which we'll discuss today a little bit, but the book of Enoch gives, you know, the luminaries, the calendars, the parables, and it also gives a whole bunch of other stories about fallen angels and everything else that is actually all true. So, um, the book of Enoch is what the Essenes followed. Like, that's the oldest, like, he was the first to walk with God, right? Other than Adam. And, like, he was the first book, he's, I mean, it's the first book of the Bible, really. Um, he was seventh from Adam, great-grandfather of Noah, right? Um, and he was the first to walk with God, and he was the first technical rapture, if you want to call it. Um, he lived 365 years, and then he was taken. But, um, there's a lot, we have a lot to discuss about Enoch. Because he's in a handful of books, he's also in Genesis, he's in the Bible that we all have, the King James Version, or the NIV, whatever you want to call it, the modern Bible that we have today. So, um, even in, I have a book here, even Josephus, right? Josephus. So, he, this isn't even a, you know, he's a historian. He was a first century historian. And he even discusses the, um, his, I don't know if he says it by name, um, I'll have to look it up again. But, uh, he does mention the Essenes, you know, as a sect of Judaism back then. So, um, the reason they called them a sect of Judaism is because they obviously followed the Bible, right? To strict standards. Um, which is obviously what Jesus did, right? Which is why he calls himself the truth, the way, and the life, right? So, the Essenes were the way. They followed the way. Which is from, you know, the open Bible. Enoch was the first to walk with God, which means following the way. So, everyone that followed God follows the true way, right? So, like, when Noah, in Noah's time, when the earth was flooded, like, we were down to eight people that believed fully in God, you know? The remnant. So, how many people do we think there are today that follow the true way? The true way. Like, prayer, walking with God. Literally, like, that's all I do all day is think about, think about, yeah, God. You gotta think about God all day. Because that's what walking with God is. He's part of your life, right? Literally part of your life. Because if he's not, then who's part of your life? You either work for God or you work for the devil. So, you know, I'm sure we're all born of the flesh, but we all are of the devil at one point in our life. But, just like in the Bible, it says we're supposed to be reborn of the spirit. So, the flesh is of the flesh and the spirit is of the spirit. So, we'll go over a little bit of Enoch today. Just going over, like, the way and the scenes and, like, what they followed. Like, the Book of the Luminaries, right? So, they follow the true 364-day-a-year calendar, right? Every year is the same. And then they talk about a, every five to six years, there's a leap week. We're on 365-day Gregorian calendar, which, in turn, has a leap year every four years, right? To keep, you know, keep the numbers going correctly with the seasons. But Enoch's calendar, God's calendar, which he instructed Enoch with, was 364 days. And that gives an even 91 days per season, right? And, like he said, every five to six years, we got a leap week. And then every seventh year, you know, this is like growing crops. So, this is why we also have crop shortages and why we have, you know, all of our food is bad today. Like, they don't adhere to these laws. Like, these are the laws. Like, the Book of Moses, right? The five books of Moses. Those are the laws. Like, the laws are written in there. So, like, just like, like I said, for gravity, you know, you got a ball. What goes up must come down, right? It's the same concept. So, if you don't follow God's law, like, it won't work. He put the laws in place before, you know, before we were ever there. So, like, we can't break them. If we break them, like, then, you know, that's when the opposite reaction happens, right? That's what, uh, that's what science talks about. Um, you know, every action has an equal and opposite reaction, right? That's where they get it from, the law. So, every seven years, you know, you're supposed to let the soil rest. And you're supposed to have harvested the year prior, extra, right? God will provide, as he always does. Um, but we don't do that anymore. We don't do any of those things, but we just consume, consume, consume. And that's why, that's kind of where we're at. So, you know, Enoch, this is, this is a lot, there's a lot, there's a lot in Enoch. Um, you know, he was the first, like, he, he basically, uh, prophesized the days of Noah. His, his great-grandson, right? And that's when we're, we're getting into the weeds there. Because, like, there's extra, uh, there's more to the story. In a lot of, um, a few, a few of the other books, like the book of Jasher. I talked a little bit about, more about that. And Jasher is confirmed, because it's also in, like, they confirm it in Joshua. They confirm it in, um, what, they confirm Timothy, I believe. Um, yeah, they refer to the book of Jasher in those confirmed books of the Bible. So, if you're reading a book that's confirmed in the Bible, right? And they refer to another book, that book must be also confirmed. That's just the way it is. Like, you can't refer to something that is untrue, and you speak the truth as well. That doesn't make any sense, right? So, if you refer to it, just like Genesis refers to Enoch, right? So, that means Enoch is true. And they kept it out of the Bible for a reason. And I was saying, that's why the Essenes, you know, that were a sect of, they called them a sect of Judaism, but like I said, they were really followers of the way. Because Jesus Christ himself never said he would, you know, he came back to destroy religion, basically. He said, religion is man-made, which it is. So, he follows the way. That's all it is. You're just following God. You're walking with God. There's no, there's no name to it. He follows us, Christ, you know? And if we all be Christ, you know, then we are from Abraham's seed. Galatians 3, 2, 8, 3, 2, 9. You know, there's neither male nor female, nor Jew nor Gentile. Whatever the translation, there's many. Jew or Greek, there's a handful of translations. That's the problem with translation itself. That's why you gotta get a handful of Bibles, different Bibles, and you gotta read them. To discern them for yourself. With the Spirit. You gotta have the Spirit. So, the Spirit is, is a... Otherwise, you're just reading it as the flesh, right? Because if you're reading it of the Spirit, then the Spirit guides you through and helps you discern it. Right? But if you're reading it as the flesh, you're just reading a story. That's all it is. And that's what I read too, before when I was, just like we all are. We're all born of the flesh. Jesus Christ was the only one, Son of God, was the only one that resisted temptation his entire life. Right? But like I said, in the previous episode, he was in a scene. So that was where he went during those years from 12 to 30, before he started his ministry. He was learning, you know, not learning. He already knew everything, obviously. But he was teaching his fellow esteemed, right? And he was, you know, pretty much figuring out how to teach these teachings to everyone. Because, what do they say in Hosea 4.6? He says, you know, my people are destroyed for their lack of knowledge. You know? And then we go to the Proverbs. You know, the fear of the Lord is the beginning of that knowledge. But fools despise wisdom and instruction. And we all do that. We all are our own God. So like, I'll give you an example. I gave this example to a friend. Where, you know, it's money. Because money really is the root of all evil. It is the thing that Satan uses as the tool to control everybody in the world, pretty much. Because you need money for everything. You need money to live, right? We don't believe that God will provide for us anymore, like we used to. Now we believe that you need money to survive. So, in the Bible, it talks about, you know, God and mammon. We can't worship both things, right? So, if you believe in God, that means you really believe that your money is not yours and your money is God's. So, you should be spending it freely. You should be spending it more frugally on others, right? Just like Jesus Christ said to do, like he said, treat others as you would yourself. You know, so, if you're buying yourself a cheeseburger, you know, buy somebody else a cheeseburger. If you're buying yourself, you know, I don't know, name it, a book, buy a book for your friend. If you're buying, you know, if you go to the movies, take somebody. You know, if you see a homeless person, literally that's your brother or sister. So, feed them, you know, do the right thing. And don't do these things, just like it says in the Bible. You know, don't do these things for others. You can't take anything with you. You know, that's a Frank Capra movie. It's Frank Capra, Jimmy Stewart's in it. But, you know, you can't take anything with you. So, what's the point of, you know, getting the big house, you know, save, you know, having whatever, millions of dollars in the bank. Like, what's the point if you're just going to die of the flesh anyway? Like, all that stuff is, so again, giving is better than receiving. It says, he says it all the time. So, if that's the case, like, I can tell you, like, giving feels better than getting something. It feels good to give. It's built into us to do that. Like, he built those things in as a, as a dopamine rush to you. Right? These are natural, good dopamine rushes. Not like the vices that we have. Like, alcohol, drugs, whatever, lust, all those things. Like, those are not good vices. That's what it says in the Bible. And it's true. Because all of those things always lead to bad. They all lead to bad, always. And our false idols lead us down those paths. So, you have, you know, the entertainment industry. You have music. You have all of these, the news. Everything, right? All of the stimulation, like, what we're doing right now. Right? All of that stuff are influencing. All of it. All of it's influencing. And it's all influencing mostly negatively at this point. Because when everything starts for God, it eventually ends up the devil. Because, again, this world belongs to Satan. He talks about it in the Bible. You know, he says this world is, you know. Again, Jesus says, yeah, we are not of this world. When you become of the Spirit, you're not of this world. You realize that. You look at everything and you realize, oh my goodness. Like, it's exactly like John Carpenter's Day Live. It's like you put on the glasses and, boom, you see everything. You see, oh my gosh, like everything in the world. Is a distraction from God. Because Satan, basically, his only goal is to steal children. To take away God's children. That's the only goal. That's the whole goal. And he does a really good job. Because right now, I have to say, 90 plus percent of the world is spiritually dead. And that's because of those things. Like, they don't trust in God right now. They don't trust in God. Like, they don't trust in God enough to, like, provide their mortgage payment. Their rent payment. Right? Their car note. Whatever it is. Like, they don't trust. They believe. They trust in man at this point. Or themselves. Like, I need to make that money. I got to make this. You know, I got to do this. I got to. They don't just sit and pray on it. There's been examples. So many examples in the past. Of all these things. But we have been completely brainwashed. For the last few generations. And that's all it takes. Right? These books tell the truth. These books say exactly why. And what happens. Over time, when you lose God. You know, these books confirm the Bible. Like, these are the books. Like, Philo Josephus have in front of me. You know, every episode, I'll take out a new book. And we'll discuss a little bit of it. And how it pertains to the real-world life. At this point. Because, again. There's a reason why they don't teach you these things in school. Because school is all about programming. Right? It's all about funneling you into a job. So that you become mentally enslaved by that job. Because you need money to survive. So you're not working for God anymore. You're working for the devil. So there's, like I said. You only work for two people in this world. You either work for God. Or you work for the devil. If you work for yourself. You work for the devil. If you work for anybody but God. You work for the devil. So. Hopefully, the person you work for. Works for God. And then, in turn, you do too. So, like, obviously. If you work for a church. Like, depending on the church. Right? Because most churches have false teachers. False prophets. Again. Revelations. That's what we're doing right now, guys. That's it. We don't know. The rapture. The rapture isn't what people think. Anyway. So. Enoch. Here. I'll read a passage right here. Enoch. 15. 9. Evil spirits have proceeded from their bodies. Because they are born from men. And from the holy watchers is their beginning. And primal origin. They shall be evil spirits on earth. And evil spirits shall they be called. As for the spirits of heaven. And heaven shall be their dwelling. But as for the spirits of the earth. Which were born upon the earth. On the earth shall be their dwelling. And the spirits of the giants afflict. Oppress. Destroy. Attack. Do battle. And work destruction on the earth. And cause trouble. They take no food. But. Nevertheless. Hunger and thirst. And cause offenses. And these spirits shall rise up. Against the children of men. And against women. Because they have proceeded from them. There you go. So. This talks about the fallen angels. And again. Genesis. You know. Genesis talks about. Has the one line about it. And talks about how. You know. The daughters. Of men. And. You know. The angels. Came upon them. Like basically. The angels. You know. Fornicated with. The daughters of men. And they begat giants. Right. And these giants were mighty men. The mighty men of renown. Which is what. They have been translated into. A handful of times. In the other bible. And. You know. The modern bible. And again. These are just all. Mis-translations. Um. Coming from. The original. You know. Original Hebrew. Or the original Greek. Or Aramaic. Depending on what. You know. What book they're reading. Um. The translations. Always get. They always lose something. In the translation. On purpose. They do it on purpose. Um. That is exactly why. They say. In the bible. That you gotta be of. The spirit. To discern it. Because. The spirit will help guide you. Through. And tell you what is false. And what is. And what is not. And what needs to be. Looked at. In. More in depth. Right. Because again. You know. These. A lot. False prophets. It's just simple as that. False prophets. You know. All of these religions. They're all false. Like. If you. There should be no middle man. Between you and God. Right. If you have the holy spirit. Like. Just like Jesus Christ said. Like. He let his. You know. The spirit is on the earth. Right. It's in everybody. Right. We breathe it in. When we're born. We breathe in our spirit. So. Everybody has a spirit. And everybody. Can contact God. And the body is our temple. Right. And. We are Israel. When we are reborn. Of the spirit. Right. So. Why is there a middle man. Between you and God. There shouldn't. There shouldn't be. So. If there's a middle man. Between you and God. You discern. For yourself. All I know. Is that. When I grew up. I saw. So much. Hypocrisy. In the church. And among adults. Right. That. You know. Called themselves. Godly. Or whatever you. Whatever you want to say. You know. If they take you to church. If you go to church. And you see these people. And then. You see them. And then they're doing. They're sinning. On a daily basis. As a child. You understand. The hypocrisy in it. And you don't believe it anymore. Which is why. So many people. Fell out. Of. The church. Because. They're all. You know. They're false. They're false teachers. They are. Jesus spoke out. In the open. For a reason. You know. God's word. Is for everybody. It's not. If you. If you're in closed doors. That's. You know. You're. You're hiding. Right. But right now. We're on the internet. Right. So this is for everybody. Think about that. When you read Revelation. For all eyes to see. So anyway. Yeah. Gosh. There's. So much to talk about. When it comes to this. Like I have. So many notes. And the reason why we talk about. Kids like that. Especially why. You know. When I say that. As a kid. I saw the hypocrisy. In the church. You know. Especially. You know. When you see that. Guess what. What did Jesus say? Come at. Come to me as a child. Come to me. You know. As children. We're children. We're supposed to be children to God. Right. So the children see through it. So the children to. Children. Actually. Are the teachers. To a lot of the adults. It's like. If the adults are. Today. Are still led by. The flesh. And not the spirit. Like you can learn more from your kids. Right. Than you can from anyone else. Because at this point. Your hearts are hardened. You know everything. Right. You know everything. I know I did. At one point. I thought I knew everything. And it wasn't until I. Admitted that I knew nothing. That I knew something. Because that. Like I said earlier. Is the beginning of knowledge. I feared the Lord. Right. I seek. Because he says. If you look for it. You know. I'll give it. I'll give you the answers. If you really look. I looked. I really looked. And there was a point. Where it came. Where it was just like. There's just good and evil. In the world. It's really simple. There's no gray. Because the problem with the gray. Is you live in the gray. And it's really easy. To go to the dark. Right. But we have to be. The light. That's what Jesus said. You are the light of the world. He is the light of the world. Right. Because the whole point. Of heaven. And the whole point of this. Is that everybody. Needs to get. And be as close to Christ. As they can. That's the point. Then you make heaven on earth. Because if you live by the commandments. Life will be good. Life will be good for everybody. And God will be happy. And God will. God will literally provide. He loves a happy giver. I can. I can attest to that. So. You know. And then Michael. Uriel. Raphael. And Gabriel. Looked down upon. From heaven. And saw much blood being shed. Upon the earth. And all lawlessness. Being wrought. Upon the earth. And they said to one another. The earth made without. Inhabitants. Cries the voice of their. Crying up. To the gates of heaven. And now to you. The holy ones of heaven. The souls of men. Make their suit. Saying. Bring our case. Before the most high. And they said to the lord of ages. Lord. Lord of lords. God of gods. King of kings. And the god of the ages. The throne of thy glory. Unto all the generations. Of thy age. Of the ages. And thy name holy. And glorious. And blessed upon. Unto all the ages. Thou hast made all things. And power over all things. Hast thou. And all things are naked. And open in thy sight. And thou seest all things. And nothing can hide. From. Itself from thee. Thou seest what Azazel. Hath done. Who hath. Taught. All unrighteousness. On earth. And revealed. The eternal. Secret. Secrets. Which were. Preserved in heaven. Which men. Were striving. To learn. And Samyaza. To whom thou. Hast given authority. To bear rule. Over his associates. And they have gone. To the daughters. Of men. Upon the earth. And have slept. With the women. And have defiled themselves. And revealed to them. All kinds of sins. And the women. Have born giants. And the whole earth. Has thereby been filled. With the blood. And of. Unrighteousness. And now behold. The souls of those. Who have died. Are crying. And making their suit. To the gates of heaven. And their lamentations. Have ascended. And cannot cease. Because. Of the lawless. Deeds. Which are wrought. On earth. Man. And thou must know. All things. Before. They come. They come to pass. And thou seest. These things. And thou. Dost suffer. Them. And thou. Dost not say. To us. What we are. To do to them. In regard to these. All right. That was Enoch 9. I just read the whole thing. Because it's a very important. It's very important. It talks about. How Azazel. Literally taught. Unrighteousness. To everybody. Right. Because he was jealous. He was the first angel. Right. And this is. Something to be taught. To our children. When we. You know. When we. Play favorites. We can't play favorites. That's literally what happened. Right. So. You know. I'm not going to read that part. I don't know what's happening here. But he talks about when. You know. Azazel. Was jealous. Like literally. Like when. God made Adam. Right. He's like. He made him in his image. And then we're supposed to go worship this guy. Basically is what he's saying. And. You know. They're like. Yeah. That's what we do. We're angels. Right. And Azazel was like. Not having it. Basically he's like. You know. He was upset. He was the first angel. He thought he was. Supposed to be the. The. Most glorified one. I guess you could say. But angels were made. For a specific reason. You know. And we'll get into that more. Later. This is already. I don't know how long I ran here. But yeah. We can. I'll just read a little bit. From this one too. Something. From Kings. Because it's interesting. To read. More. Because it. It talks about how. You know. This really makes sense. How nepotism works. Right. So. When. King Hezekiah. Had survived. The. Interval. Of time. Already mentioned. And had dwelt. All that time. In peace. He died. Right. Having completed. 54 years. Of his life. And he reigned. 29. But when his son. Manasseh. Of Jerusalem. Had taken the kingdom. He departed. From the conduct. Of his father. And fell into. A course. Of life. Quite contrary. There too. And showed himself. In his manners. Most wicked. In all respect. And omitted. No sort of impiety. But imitated. Those transgressions. Of the Israelites. By the commission. Of which. Against God. They had been destroyed. For which he was. So hardy. As to defile. The temple of God. In the city. And the whole country. For by setting out. For a contempt of God. He barbarously slew. All. Righteous men. That were among the Hebrews. Nor would he spare the prophets. He went against God. Sinning. Like crazy. Killing all the righteous men. They're all telling him. Like not to. You know. Not to do what he's doing. And they're all like. God's going to be angry. So he says. So God was angry. At these proceedings. And sent prophets. To the king. And to the multitude. By whom he threatened. The very same calamities. To which their brethren. The Israelites. Upon. Like. Affronts. Offered to God. Were now under. Right. So basically. You know. God was like. Not. Not happy. So he sent. A couple kings. The king from Babylon. They had. They had him under his own power. To inflict what punishment. He had pleased upon him. Basically. So what happened was. Is that. You know. Long story short. Is that. He. Repented. Right. He repented. And. He. Prayed to God. Like. Please let. Them. Have mercy on me. Essentially. And what happened was. Is that. They did have mercy on him. God. Granted him. His. His wish. Essentially. Right. His prayers were answered. And. In doing so. He gave. His life to God. And he changed. His ways. He repented. He built. Temples. He. You know. He rebuilt. A lot of the things. In the city. He strengthened. He fortified. The gates of Jerusalem. All these things. All these good things. Right. And then. God let him live longer. And. He ruled. And then he. And then he died. But. Again. Just like I said. Before. Just like. We were talking here. About. You know. You can't treat. Your kids better. One better than the other. You just can't. It creates. These things. In them. Where. They have pride. Right. And then it creates. The jealousy too. And then. It starts in the house. Right. The mirrors. Kids mirrors. Right. And so. Again. What happened was. Is that. His son. You know. His son did the same thing. Although. His son. Amen. He only lived. 24 years. And he only reigned. Two. Right. Because. By the time. It gets to the grandson. The people. Had had enough. They're like. Your dad was horrible. For a while. Before he repented. You're not going to do the same thing. So. Again. What did. God do. God punished him. Or. You know. God let him be punished. Because. God is only good. Right. So. God doesn't do these things to people. Right. The thing is. Is that. Because of the law. When you break the law. It happens. He said it. He's like. These are the laws. To make everything perfect. Essentially. And when you break them. It makes everything imperfect. I can't do anything. I'm telling you not to do these things. I had. I gave you the books. I gave you the knowledge. If you don't. If you follow my instruction. Life will be perfect. And you. There will be heaven. But if you don't. Then. There will literally be hell to pay. So. Then his son. Who was eight. Years old. Josiah. He became. The king. Right. And he. Was most excellent. And he was virtuous. Right. And he followed. King David. Right. So look what happened there. That's four generations. Right. So you had. The first generation. Do they. Was righteous. Right. This is all verified in the Bible. This is Josephus. This isn't. This is a. Historian. This isn't the Bible. Right. He's a. First century historian. So. And this is chapter. This is the antiquities of the Jews. Chapter four. Chapter three. Three and four. Okay. So. Essentially. Yeah. He was righteous. So you have one generation. And then. The wicked. The next. Right. And then the next one. Was going to be wicked. And then they cut that off. And then. Fourth one. They go back to righteousness. So where do you think we're at today. Right. So. We're probably. A hundred years removed. From being. More Christian. And more Bible. Believing. God fearing. People. And we are today. We're very wicked today. This is Sodom and Gomorrah guys. Like. The world. We have. War everywhere. I don't pay attention to any of it anymore. Because. When you live in the word. You gotta live in the word. I only. Hear things now. From. My friends. And people I know. And. You know. When I do. I look. You know. I'll look into the news. For a day. Because that's all I can do. Because it makes you just cry. It makes you. Literally just cry. When you see. The horrors of the world. Like. These are our brothers. And sisters. Literally. These are God's children. Every single one of them. There's no right. There's no left. There's no. There's nothing. We are all spirits. We are of the spirit. So. When. If anybody is taking any side. Other than God. Anybody. Other than Jesus Christ. Himself. You know. The living God. If anyone's taking any other side. Including themselves. Then you are on the wrong side. You are on the wrong side. And. All it's doing is creating. More. More negativity. And more evil in the world. Because. That spreads. That's the real virus. The real virus. Is the demons in your head. That's the real virus. Right. And. We cover them up with. All kinds of sin. Whether it be. Like I said. Food. Drugs. Rock and roll. Whatever it is. We cover it up. Because. You need that dopamine rush. Of whatever it. Your sin is. Right. But guess what. Like I said. God. Gives you that dopamine rush. When you're doing the right thing. Like go out. And go help somebody. Go give something to somebody. Trust me. It's the same thing as. Whatever it is your sin is. It's a. You'll get the same feeling. But better. Because it's lasting. And what it does. Is it fills your cup. And then it makes you want to do things more righteous. And then you become more righteous. And more righteous. Right. Because good. Is also viral. It's actually. More viral. Than the negative. But. They want you to believe. That the world is negative. So who are you going to believe. Are you going to believe Jesus. Or are you going to believe the world. Right. We know he's real. We're still talking about him. Two thousand years later. To this day. He's more popular than anybody else. Ever will be. Right. We forget. About every. Idol. Every. Guess what. That's. That's how you know he's God. Because. Everybody. Forget about. Over time. Right. I can name you a bunch of stars. That Gen Z. Gen Alpha. They're not going to know. Maybe. Millennials might know. Gen X. Probably know. Right. And then boomers. And then whatever is left. Silent generation. You know. I don't know. The greatest generation. If there's anybody left. From those generations. At this point. You know. They know the stars of old. They might. Oh yeah. I remember. You know. The Marlon Brando's. Or whatever. You can go back to the Montgomery Cliffs. Right. The Jimmy Stewart's. Right. I remember that. But go ask. Go ask somebody that's under 30. Those names. They don't know. They don't know who they are. Right. Are anybody famous for that matter. Go tell them. Again. This guy. I'm sure was Josephus. I'm sure was pretty famous in his time. I'll tell you that much. Like look how big this book is. Like they didn't have TV guys. They didn't have TV. They didn't have the internet. So they read. They read. So. I'm sure he was pretty famous. But. You guys are. You know. You guys don't know. I'm sure. Please. In the comments. Whatever. Please tell me. Who knew this book. Who's actually read some of this book. We are a species. That literally has forgot God. And we wonder why. All you have to do is go read. Any. Story in the Bible. About what happens. When we disobey God. He can't help us. He. He does not dwell. In unclean. Spirits. Right. Because he's a spirit. Spirits do not dwell. In unclean vessels. Only demons do. Because there's only demons. And there's only. You know. Good spirits. That's it. That's all that's around you. Right. It's the unseen. It's the air. They're in the air. Right. You don't see the air. I don't. Like. It's funny. Because like I said. There's. Like people don't realize. That. That magic box. In front of you. Is. Literally. Throwing. You know. Invisible images. To your screen. But you can't believe. That there's demons. Literally in your own thoughts. And that they're not your own. And that you aren't making your own decisions. Because you've been indoctrinated. From the start. Like this is the matrix. That's. Like you live in the matrix. All right. Um. This has been the God Pod. Like let's uh. We're going to teach more the way. We're going to keep this more positive. We needed to talk. To God. About. You know. All of these things. So that people understand. What's going on. Because I know a lot of people. Who don't know. Like everyone's going. A lot of people are going to Jesus. Right now. They're having these. These uh. Revelations. Right. About Jesus Christ. And like. Him being Lord. But they don't know what to do. Like people are going to church. Like I see more people. In church. Like I go to different churches. And. I see. I see different people. And they don't know. They don't know what they're doing. And I. I feel bad for our. Our brothers and sisters. Because. They don't know where to begin. And they're going to be led by false prophets. Because people are going to teach them. The wrong ways. And there's only one way. That's why Jesus said follow me. There's only one way to the Father. It's through me. Like you literally have to do what I do. That's what he meant. Like follow me. Take up your. You know. That's what I do. I pray. So behind the camera. I have an altar. In my house. You know. I have. This. You know. There. I got holy water. You know. I have my anointing. Olive oil. That's what he says. And this holy thing. Like. Think about it. Read the Bible. Think about what they do. And think about what they did. Ask questions. To the spirit. Ask. To discern it for you. Right. And I pray. Every morning. Morning. Noon. And night. On that. At that altar. At least those three times. That's the very least. Right. I'm praying all day though. Right. Just like Jesus said. You know. When he's tempted by Satan. We're always tempted by Satan. All day. So what did he say? It is written. Right. He resisted the temptation. Right. That's the Lord's prayer. Lead me not into temptation. Right. But. Unfortunately. We live in Satan's world. And we live in the worst time. Right now. So everything's a temptation. And. The problem is. Is that. I know so many people are struggling. You know. We really have so much. So much. Terror going on in the world. Like. We need to make a positive. So. This is going to be the history portion. Of the podcast. Like. We're going to talk about this history stuff. Because I know a lot of it is like. It can be scary. To some. Because. The beginning of the knowledge. You know. Is very fearful. Because when you realize. Like. You've been living the wrong way. For a long time. It's very scary. When you realize. Oh my goodness. Like. Everybody I know. Is living the wrong way too. Like. Oh my goodness. Like. What's going to happen. Right. It's okay. It really is okay. It's going to be alright. It's going to be okay. Because the first step. Is. You know. Is admitting that you know nothing. Essentially. Right. And so then. You can start to know something. Right. So start reading. How I recommend reading the Bible. If you've never really read it. Because so many people. Have it. And they're like. I don't know. I even. I started Genesis. You just read through the whole thing. I started the New Testament. I don't know where to read. Just ask it some questions. Get into a meditative state. A prayer state. Right. Pray. Clear your mind. No distractions. Nothing around you. No. No loud sound. You know. Just as quiet as you can get. And. After you've been in this. In this prayer. Meditative state. For. 20 or so minutes. Um. Ask some questions out loud. You should be a woman for this. Obviously. Um. Ask some questions out loud. That you want. That you need answers. You know. And then. Open up your Bible. Anywhere. Wherever the spirit takes you. Literally. And then wherever your eyes on the page take you. And read. Just start reading. And you don't have to really. Think about it. Just read it. Like. Don't. Don't think about it. Subconsciously. It has to be subconsciously. And as you read. You will probably start to. Understand it. Mm-hmm. That you will start to understand it. You will. The more you do this. The more you will understand. The more you do this. The more you will understand. Because again. Right now. So many people. Just. Are looking for answers. And. Jesus Christ. Is the truth. The way. And the life. He's the way. To eternal life. He's the way. To the father. He's the way. To the father. He's the way. To our father. Um. And you need to start living. Now. As if. This is heaven. That's the trick. The trick is to live with spirit. So that way. We're already ready for heaven. Right. So make your heaven. Now. But watch. It's a wonderful life. Realize that. Your life is actually good. Okay. Because when you start living with the spirit. You're going to see all of the good in your life. Instead of the bad. Because when you. Live in the negative cycle. Of life. Of the media. Of scrolling. Doom scrolling. Whatever it is. Right. Work. You have everyone complaining to you all day. You go home. And then. You guys complain to each other. Um. Or. Whatever. You know. You might have a happy life. Or so you think. So you think. I think that's the problem. Is like. A lot of us think. We have a happy life. But. Those are smoke and mirrors. Because. Think about. The future. Think about. You know. The end of it. Think about then. Are you going to be afraid? Are you going to be ready to go back home? Because. Like. This. All this. Is preparation. For the next. So. Alright guys. This has been the God Pod. Yeah. Like I said. We're going to do some more upbeat stuff. And talk about the way. Um. Literally talk about the way. So praying. Praying every day. Okay. Taking the Sabbath seriously. Working. For others. Right. This is what you do. For a good. Clean. Righteous life. Because. You start to build your village around you. And then everybody starts to. You start to see the fruits. Right. That's what we talk about. Like. The fruits. We will be known. By our fruits. Because. Bad trees. Bear bad fruit. And good trees. Bear good fruit. So. He knows us by our words. By those words. Right. He knows us by those words. Because those are for him. So if we do those things for him. Then it's. And at the end. When he talks. You know. When. When we're judged. He says. I. I definitely knew you. You were working for me. Of course. You're going to know your boss. Like. You're going to know the people that work for you. That's. That's kind of how it works. So anyway. That's. I hope you guys got that. Because again. It's a good thing. Like. This is all good. We're going to make heaven on earth. I'll teach you the way. We'll show you the way. Because it's the. You know. I have a lot of. A lot of interesting books. A lot of interesting. Interesting books. These scenes. Actually. You know what. Real quick. You know. We'll do. This is a. What do you call it. An encore. We'll do a five. Five minute encore. With one book. Okay. This book is called. From Enoch. To the Dead Sea Scrolls. Okay. So. This book is called. From Enoch. And this is the book. It's old. They don't have. My other copies of this but I'll read you just the intro. The. The ascension. They're teaching. From the remote. Ages of antiquity a remarkable teaching has existed. Which is universal in its application and ageless in its wisdom. Fragments of it are found in Sumerian hieroglyphs. And on tiles and stones dating back. Some eight or ten thousand years some of the symbols. Such as. For the moon. Sun, air, water and other natural forces are from an even earlier age preceding the cataclysm that ended the Pleistocene period. How many thousands of years previous to that the teachings existed is unknown. To study and practice this teaching is to reawaken within the heart of every man an intuitive knowledge that can solve his individual problems and the problems of the world. Traces of the teachings have appeared in almost every country and religion. Its fundamental principles were taught in ancient Persia, Egypt, India, Tibet, China, Palestine, Greece and many other countries, but it has been transmitted in its most pure form by the Essenes. That mysterious brotherhood which lived during the last two or three centuries BC and the first century of the Christian era at the Dead Sea in Palestine and at Lake Mariotis in Egypt. In Palestine and Syria the members of the brotherhood were known as Essenes and in Egypt as Therapeutae or healers. The esoteric part of their teaching is given in the Tree of Life, the Communions and the Sevenfold Peace. The exoteric or outer teachings appear in the Essene Gospel of John, Genesis and Essene Interpretation, Moses the Prophet of Law and the Sermon on the Mount. The origin of the brotherhood is said to be unknown and the derivations of the name is uncertain. Some believe it comes from Enoch and claim to be their founder, their communion with the angelic world having first been given to him. Alright, so we'll get into more of this later, but as you can tell, they followed all, that's what I'm saying. So the Essenes follow Enoch, this dates all the way back to Enoch because Enoch was the first Essene. He followed the light, he followed God. So yeah, that's the end of this one. So we'll read more of this next week. Thank you guys.
