Second Gathering: The prophet Isaiah said: The Lord shall regather Israel a second time. (Isaiah 11). Jews and Evangelicals claim that the “second time” of the return of the Jews was fulfilled in the creation of the State of Israel in 1948. But the “second time” already took place 500 years before Christ: The 1st Return of The Jews: The Jews were living as exiles in Egypt when Moses brought the 12 tribes back to the land of Canaan in 1445 BC. The 2nd Return of The Jews: The Jews were living as exiles throughout the vast Babylonian Empire which Isaiah perceived as the four corners of the world when Ezra brought only 3 tribes back to the land of Israel in 536 BC. These were the tribes of Judah, Benjamin, and Levi. The other tribes were lost forever. Just prior to 70 AD, Herod destroyed the remaining tribal records, especially those of Levi, the priestly tribe. ****Scriptural Compilation: Many scholars now have decided that the Jewish Scriptures were composed during the Babylonian Exile between 586 and 539 BC. Many of the place names and contexts of the earliest patriarchs are placed in contemporary milieus. The earliest stories are expanded and infused with theological understandings. This was all to increase nationalism among the disparate and lowly tribes. ****Translations: 540 BC While most Jews stayed in Babylon, some of the Jews return to (New) Jerusalem. They take additional pagan theology infused with their own evolving theology. Most words in Hebrew or Greek or Aramaic have been translated, but some have simply been transliterated. An example is ‘Satan’ from proto-Zorastrianism. ‘Satan’ means Adversary and is still used that way in Iran. Remember “America is the Great Satan”? Old Testament theology evolved and Satan became a competing power to Yahweh or the Lord. Demon is similar, being transliterated from the Greek daemon, meaning outside influence, either positive or negative. Even in Jesus’ time ‘demon’ had not yet been settled into its sole negative role. ****Theodicy: There is Good and evil in this world. Christianity speaks of a trio of evil influences which include the world, the flesh, and the devil. The world includes natural consequences and man’s social systems, some of which can be changed by people acting for the good. The flesh with its sin (sin meaning missing the mark, which includes sins of omission and those of commission) can be fought with knowledge of truth. There is always hope. The Kingdom of God is those who are working for God. There is a strong possibility that besides for redacting or editing the existing Hebrew Scriptures at this time, that many of the founding figures are actually mythological and are used as the story foundation for combined tribes uniting in Jewish Supremacy. Others such as David and Solomon are especially exaggerated. There were different wings of Judaism with competing visions. Because of this, opposition voices, which seem to be contradictory were also included in the Scriptures. For instance, many of the minor prophets seem to be denouncing Jewish intrigues and “Chosenness”. ****Inerrancy of Scripture – American Evangelicals have an understanding of Inerrancy or the Doctrine that the Scriptures have no errors, which is not in the tradition of Christianity. With the advent of Dispensationalism in about 1830, codified with (Jew-paid and puffed) Scofield in 1909, and mass advertised with radio and television, Evangelicalism is in the service of Judaism, as it creates a parallel ‘chosenness’ to those who call themselves Jews. Inerrancy is the reaction of Fundamentalism to the equality of scripture and tradition within Roman Catholicism and the Biblical Criticism of European Christianity. The Biblical Canon took centuries to standardize and some books were still questioned through Luther’s time and beyond, etc. The Infallibility of the Roman Catholic Pope when speaking Ex Cathedra was established at Vatican I in 1870, with some bishops dissenting. This began the argument of inerrancy among Protestants. Infallibility of Scripture is sometimes used as a stronger and sometimes as a weaker meaning of inerrancy. Many Evangelicals use the term in the sense that the original autographs were inerrant. Inspiration of Scripture was the standard understanding through the centuries. Even most Judaism treats its Scripture with a Critical interpretation. Islam is different, it presents its Scriptures as Inerrant, and few Islamic Scholars will challenge this assumption. Torah (Pentateuch) - The Law: Bereshit - Genesis ; Shemot - Exodus ; VaYikra - Leviticus ; BaMidbar - Numbers ; Devarim – Deuteronomy. The Torah for modern Jews does not refer to the Bible but to the oral law of Moses in the Talmud. Neviim - The Prophets: Yehoshua - Joshua ; Shoftim - Judges ; Shmuel A - 1 Samuel ; Shmuel B - 2 Samuel ; Melachim A - 1 Kings ; Melachim B - 2 Kings ; Yisheyah - Isaiah ; Yermiyah - Jeremiah ; Yechezchial - Ezekiel Treisar - The Minor Prophets: Hoshea - Hosea ; Yoel - Joel ; Amos - Amos ; Ovadiyah - Obadiah ; Yonah - Jonah ; Michah - Micah ; Nachum - Nahum ; Chabakuk - Habakkuk ; Tzefaniyah - Zephaniah ; Chaggi - Haggai ; Zechariyah - Zechariah ; Malachi - Malachi Ketuvim - The Writings: Tehilim - Psalms ; Mishlei - Proverbs ; Eyov - Job ; Megilot: Shir HaShirim - Song of Songs ; Ruth - Ruth ; Eichah - Lamentations ; Keholet - Ecclesiastes ; Esther - Esther Daniyel - Daniel ; Ezra - Ezra ; Nechemiyah - Nehemiah ; Divrei Yamim A - 1 Chronicles ; Divrei Yamim B - 2 Chronicles 520 BC Haggai 520 BC Zechariah “‘Execute true justice, Show mercy and compassion Everyone to his brother. Do not oppress the widow or the fatherless, The alien or the poor. Let none of you plan evil in his heart against his brother.’ But they refused to heed, shrugged their shoulders, and stopped their ears so that they could not hear.” 456-444 BC Ezra 450 BC Malachi “Judah has dealt treacherously, and an abomination has been committed in Israel and in Jerusalem, for Judah has profaned the LORD’s holy institution which He loves: He has married the daughter of a foreign god.”; “And I will come near you for judgment; I will be a swift witness against sorcerers, against adulterers, against perjurers, against those who exploit wage earners and widows and orphans.” In “What the Bible Really Says”, the Jewish author, R. Joseph Hoffman, says this: “The Old Testament has a great deal to say about wealth as a sign of divine favor and source of human happiness. It is arguable that no single aspect of ancient Israelite religion stands in such obvious contrast to ancient Greek speculation concerning the immaterial nature of the good is the insistence of the Hebrew writers that the things of this world, being 'God's possession and man's ward,' are a source of delight, contentment, and blessing. The theme is recurrent... the mythological embodiment of a fundamentally this-worldly, economic theology.” ------------------------------------------------------ Covenants in the Bible – Taking the Bible at Face-value, even not considering Judaic self-editing, there are no covenants which continue to call the Jews “Chosen” or entitled to Palestine today. Covenants often listed: The Adamic Covenant (for all mankind) can be thought of in two parts: the Edenic Covenant (innocence) and the Adamic Covenant (grace) (Genesis 3:16-19). The Edenic Covenant is found in Genesis 1:26-30; 2:16-17. The Edenic Covenant outlined man’s responsibility toward creation and God’s directive regarding the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The Adamic Covenant included the curses pronounced against mankind for the sin of Adam and Eve, as well as God’s provision for that sin (Genesis 3:15). The Noahic Covenant (for all mankind) was an unconditional covenant between God and Noah (specifically) and humanity (generally). After the Flood, God promised humanity that He would never again destroy all life on earth with a Flood (see Genesis chapter 9). God gave the rainbow as the sign of the covenant, a promise that the entire earth would never again flood and a reminder that God can and will judge sin (2 Peter 2:5). Abrahamic Covenant (Genesis 12:1-3, 6-7; 13:14-17(‘forever’); 15; 17:1-14; 22:15-18). God promised Abraham a great nation which was fulfilled in Deuteronomy 4:6-7, II Chronicles 1:9, I Kings 4:20. God promised Abraham the land of Palestine which was fulfilled through conquering and then lost. God promised that the Messiah would come from the line of Abraham. 2000 years of Christian theology considers this a reference to Christ! Mosaic Covenant (Deuteronomy 11; et al.). The Mosaic Covenant was a conditional covenant that either brought God's direct blessing for obedience or God's direct cursing for disobedience upon the nation of Israel. The history books of the Old Testament (Joshua–Esther) detail how Israel succeeded at obeying the Law or how Israel failed miserably at obeying the Law. Land Covenant (Deuteronomy 30:1-10). If the People did not obey God, they would lose the land and be destroyed. 2000 years of Christian theology considers this disobedience as a denial of Christ! Davidic Covenant (2 Samuel 7:8-16(‘forever’); God promised that David's throne would last forever. 2000 years of Christian theology considers this being fulfilled in Christ! New Covenant (Jeremiah 31:31-34). The New Covenant is made with all mankind. 2000 years of Christian theology considers the Old Testament (all of the above) or Old Covenant to be fulfilled in Christ. “Forever” is used for a very long time. A common phrase in the Hebrew is "l'olam va'ed" and is usually translated as "forever and ever" but in the Hebrew it means "to the distant horizon and again" meaning "a very distant time and even further" and is used to express the idea of a very ancient or future time (beyond community knowledge, eg.even just a 100 years). The “Chosen People”: Moses (not the Lord) speaks to the People: (Deut 7:6 NIV) “For you are a people holy to the Lord your God. The Lord your God has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his people, his treasured possession.” Much is written about this topic in rabbinic literature. Jewish Supremacism in the Psalms: Psalm 2: 8 “Ask me, and I will make the nations your inheritance, the ends of the earth your possession.” (NIV) Psalm 22:28 “for dominion belongs to the Lord and he rules over the nations.” (NIV) Psalm 105:44 “he gave them the lands of the nations, and they fell heir to what others had toiled for—“ (NIV)  Zodiac -It is known to have been in use by the Roman era, based on concepts inherited by Hellenistic astronomy from Babylonian astronomy of the Chaldean period (mid-1st millennium BC), which, in turn, derived from an earlier system of lists of stars along the ecliptic. The construction of the zodiac is described in Ptolemy's Almagest (2nd century AD). The term zodiac means "circle of animals. Although the zodiac remains the basis of the ecliptic coordinate system in use in astronomy besides the equatorial one, the term and the names of the twelve signs are today mostly associated with horoscopic astrology.
The Hindu zodiac is believed to be adopted from the Greek system and their symbols are nearly identical. The High Middle Ages saw a revival of Greco-Roman magic, first in Kabbalism and later continued in Renaissance magic. This included magical uses of the zodiac. What follows is a list of the twelve signs of the modern: Aries The Ram, Taurus The Bull, Gemini The Twins, Cancer The Crab, Leo The Lion, Virgo The Maiden, Libra The Scales, Scorpio The Scorpion, Sagittarius Centaur The Archer, Capricorn "Goat-horned" (The Sea-Goat), Aquarius The Water Bearer, Pisces Fish. Chinese zodiac - is a scheme that relates each year to an animal and its reputed attributes, according to a 12-year cycle. Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Ram, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, Pig. 500 BC 500 BC 500 BC 500 BC 500 BC, the Germanic tribes appear in northern Germany, see the Nordic Bronze Iron Age. Tuisto (or Tuisco) is the divine ancestor of the Germanic peoples attested in Tacitus' Germania (98 CE). The figure remains the subject of some scholarly discussion, largely focused upon etymological connections and comparisons to figures in later (particularly Norse) Germanic mythology. In the larger Indo-European pantheon, Tuisto is equated to the Indic/Vedic Tvastar. Tuistco probably became Deutsch. 
****The Swastika is an equilateral cross with its arms bent at right angles, in either right-facing (卐) form or its mirrored left-facing (卍) form. Archaeological evidence of swastika-shaped ornaments dates from the Neolithic period and was used throughout the world. It occurs today in the modern day culture of India, sometimes as a geometrical motif and sometimes as a religious symbol; it remains widely used in Eastern religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism. Ancient Germans were taught that the earth was forged by the All-Father, who breathed the breath of life into all things. Work to ancient Germans was holy and life-giving, bringing them in communion with truth and God. To lie, cheat, or break an oath was evil, causing spiritual ill-health. They were taught that forgiveness is wisdom, and that justice must be tempered with mercy. The swastika symbol has been identified as representing the hammer or lightning of Thor. Scholar Hilda Ellis Davidson (1965) comments on the usage of the swastika as a symbol of Thor: “The protective sign of the hammer was worn by women, as we know from the fact that it has been found in women's graves. It seems to have been used by the warrior also, in the form of the swastika. [...] Primarily it appears to have had connections with light and fire, and to have been linked with the sun-wheel. It may have been on account of Thor's association with lightning that this sign was used as an alternative to the hammer, for it is found on memorial stones in Scandinavia besides inscriptions to Thor. When we find it on the pommel of a warrior's sword and on his sword-belt, the assumption is that the warrior was placing himself under the Thunder God's protection.” Swastikas appear on various Germanic objects stretching from the Migration Period to the Viking Age.
