For $1000 DOLLARS:
WHO IS THE MESSIAH?
Is it not written, if it was possible even “the very Elect” would be fooled? As such, I ask, who is “The MAN” that is SHILOH, and is called The MESSIAH? Do you truly know? Is it not Crucial “To Know”, because of Life and Death, and the Destiny of Mankind?
Since it is imperative to KNOW, then for $1000 Dollars can you refute my claim? Please understand, because it is essential to have “CLARITY”, why this Challenge is being made, so that TRUTH can be Known, which is not my truth or your truth, but rather Truth base on “Prophesies and Facts”, which needs not to be justified! Therefore, behold TRUTH, so no-one can say, I did not Know!!
As fact, more than two-third of the world’s population share the same Prophetical Core Beliefs, this begins with ABRAHAM, as the patriarch! As such, Judaism, Christianity and Islam, are bound by a great blessing given to Judah by Jacob/Israel and The Covenant of David made by The Most High!
Yet, the comprehension of who is “The MESSIAH” is lacking, and differs from one religion to the other. Thus, neither do the followers nor the Shepherds of these three religions possess a clear understanding!!
Therefore to the Leaders of these three religions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam, for $1000 Dollars can you refute the following, or can anyone? O’ earth, O’ earth renew yourself in Truth!!
For thousands of years before “ABRAHAM” was conceived, the Words were heard saying, “‘UNTIL SHILOH COMES’”, which means “The Mighty Judge”, or the Almighty!
Still, the great Prophecies of the coming of Shiloh/Messiah began as a blessing given to Judah by Jacob/Israel, with these words as the foundation: “The Scepter shall not depart from JUDAH, or a Lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh Come, and unto Him shall the gathering of the people be (Genesis 49: 10)!”
Thus, it was foretold by Jacob/Israel that the Last King coming out of Judah’s descendants will be The Messiah, and to Him shall the people be gathered! Blessed are You, O’ Shiloh (The Mighty Judge), “That MAN”, which is to be “The Last King of Judah’s Descendants”!
However, Judah was not a King, and the First King coming out of Judah’s descendants was DAVID!! Thus the Blessing and the Prophecies began with David! It is written, “The LORD hath sworn in Truth unto David; HE will not turn from it; of the fruit of your body will I set upon your Throne (Psalm 132:11)!” “‘He shall cry to ME, YOU are my Father, my GOD, and the rock of my salvation. ‘I shall also make Him MY Firstborn, the highest of the Kings of the Earth’! ‘MY loving-kindness I will keep for Him forever and MY Covenant shall be confirmed to Him forever (Psalm 89:26-28)’!” Behold, the Covenant of David!
The COVENANT Of DAVID!!!
“There shall come forth a Rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his Roots (Isaiah 11:1)!” “Unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulders; and His Name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty God, The Prince of Peace, and the Everlasting Father! Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon His Kingdom to order it, and to establish it with Judgment and with Justice from henceforth even forever! The Zeal of the LORD of Hosts will perform this (Isaiah 9:6-7)!”
“‘Behold, the days shall come’, says The LORD, ‘that I shall raise to David a Branch of Righteousness, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and Justice in the earth’! ‘In his days, Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS’ (Jeremiah 23:5-6)!”
“‘MY Covenant I will not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of My Lips’! ‘Once have I sworn by My Holiness, I will not lie to David; his seed shall endure forever and his throne as the sun before ME’! ‘It shall be established forever as the moon and as a faithful witness in heaven’! ‘O’ Selah’ (Ps.89:34-37)!”
Therefore, the great question is who is “That MAN”, the last King of Judah of the descendants of David? For That MAN is SHILOH, and is The MESSIAH, and unto Him, shall the gathering of the people be!!!
Surely you must say it is so, O’ Followers and Leaders of Judaism, Christianity and Islam! Can the Covenant of David be broken or altered?
Since it is written that a Man named JESUS came “Only to the Lost Sheep Israel (Matthew 15:24)”, and Christianity proclaim him as The MESSIAH, while Islam call him a Prophet then is Jesus The MESSIAH? Beginning with JESUS words, behold facts!
It is written that, while the Pharisees were gathered together, JESUS asked them, saying, ‘What think you of the Christ’? ‘Whose son is he’? They say unto him, ‘The son of David’! He said unto them, ‘How then does David in spirit call him LORD, saying, The LORD said unto my LORD sit you on my right hand, till I make your enemies your footstool? If David called him LORD, how is he his son (Matthew 22: 41-46; Mark 12:35-37)?” Thus, it is clear that from the very mouth of JESUS, he himself denied to be from the seed of David!
Therefore, who is that Man, known as JESUS? Jesus himself said, ‘do not think that I will accuse you to the FATHER; there is one that accuses you, even Moses, in whom you thrust! Had you believed Moses, you would have believed me, for he wrote of me. But, if you believe not his writings, how shall you believe my words (John 5: 45-47)’?
Since JESUS said, Peter is the Rock, did not Peter said, “For Moses truly said unto the fathers, a Prophet shall the LORD your God raise unto you of your brethren (cousin), like unto me, him shall you hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you. It shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear “That Prophet”, shall be destroyed from among the people (Deut. 18:15-19). Yea and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of these days. Unto you first, God, having risen up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities (Acts 3:22-26).
“‘You denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you, and killed the Prince of Life, whom God hath raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses (Acts 3:14-15)’!”
Thus by JESUS own words, which is confirmed by Peter, Jesus is not the Messiah, but the one Moses wrote about; which is “That Prophet”, like unto Moses, which 1 Samuel 2: 27-36 called, “The Enemy of Aaron”! As well, Isaiah called him, The Lamb of God (Isaiah 16: 1; 53:7), and John the baptizer proclaimed saying, “‘behold The Lamb of God (St. John 1:29)’”! O’ send the Lamb to the Slaughterers, for no man comes to the FATHER, but by Him: “That Prophet, the Lamb of God”!
As facts, Jesus did not fulfilled the Covenant of David, because he was not a King that reign and prospered, nor did he executed Judgment and Justice upon the earth with the government upon his shoulders! In fact he was not a king sitting upon any throne on the Earth! He himself said, ‘My kingdom is not of this world’! Clearly Jesus is not The MESSIAH, by his own confessions!!
Thus who is That Man, which JESUS said, when The LORD Comes! Who is that Man, which is to be The Lion of the Tribe of Judah, of the Root of David, Lord of Lords and King of Kings, in accordance with the Book of Revelation?
Therefore to the Leaders of these three religions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam, for $1000 Dollars can you refute the following, or can anyone? Then put forth your claim or forever be Silent!! Woe unto the Shepherds that lead the world astray!
As it was spoken, as it was written, it is fulfilled, beginning with David being the “First King of Judah” and Ending with His Imperial Majesty RAS TAFARI: HAILE SELASSIE I, as The Last King of the Tribe of Judah, of the Root of David to sit upon the Seat of David! Is There another? No, not one!
Surely, the whole World must acknowledge this as fact, RAS TAFARI: HAILE SELASSIE I is The Last of the Kings of Zion, of the Tribe of Judah, of the Branch of the Stem of Jesse, of the Root of David to sit upon the Seat of David with the Title The Elect of God: The Light of the World: The Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah, of the Root of David, Lord of Lords and King of Kings!
Again, and without doubt the world bear witness that His Imperial Majesty HAILE SELASSIE I is the Only Descendant of “The Kings of David” ever to address the Leaders of the world! Was He not a member of the League of Nations in 1928, and after, a member of The United Nations, as The Highest of all Kings of the Earth, whereby the Leaders of the world addressed Him, by the title: THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS?
Clearly the Zeal of The LORD of Hosts has performed this: Behold, the day came that The LORD raise to David a Branch of Righteousness, and a King reigned and prospered, and executed judgment and Justice in the earth! “Prophetically, there came forth a Rod out of the stem of Jesse, of the Branch of his Roots, and His Name is called Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty God, The Prince of Peace, and the Everlasting Father; upon the throne of David, he ordered His Kingdom and established it with Judgment and with Justice, and is the Last of the Kings of Zion to sit upon Seat of David! On July 23, 1892 a Child was born, and a Son was given, The Divinity of David, The Power of The Trinity: HAILE SELASSIE I! Blessed is The King of Glory!
Thus without doubt, He is SHILOH, and is the Only MESSIAH, and unto Him is the gathering of the people is to be! Is it not so O’ Leaders of Judaism, Christianity and Islam?
Surely, the prophecies are revealed, for The LORD of the Vineyard has COME! The King came like a thief in the night!! Here is the Wisdom! Since HAILE SELASSIE I, is the Last to sit upon David’s Throne, which was betrothed to him and will by God, thus He is the Man that holds the Key of David, because he is the Inheritor of GOD, the Last of the Kings of Zion, The Elect of God, The Light of the world, Lord of Lords and King of Kings: RAS TAFARI, The Mighty God! O’ SHILOH!!! Therefore, who can claim David’s Throne?
Woe to the “Three RELIGIONS” that have misled the world!! Is it not written, thus says The LORD, ‘Three Shepherds also I cut off in one month; and MY soul loathed them, and their soul also abhorred ME’!
Therefore to the Shepherds of Judaism, Christianity and Islam, as fact, since His Imperial Majesty RAS TAFARI: HAILE SELASSIE I, is The Last of the Kings of Zion, of the Tribe of Judah, of the Branch of the Stem of Jesse, of the Root of David to sit upon the Seat of David should you not be gathering the people unto H.I.M? For unto Him shall the gathering of the People be! Surely, if the salt as lost its flavor, then it is good for nothing but to be cast out!
O’ earth, O’ earth renew yourself in Truth!! Thus says, His Imperial Majesty RAS TAFARI: HAILE SELASSIE I, The Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah, of the Root of David, Lord of Lords and King of Kings ‘We must stop confusing RELIGION And SPIRITUALITY’!
‘RELIGION is a set of Rules, Regulations and Rituals created by Humans, which were supposed to help people to grow SPIRITUALLY! Due to Human Imperfection, RELIGION has become Corrupt, Political, Divisive, and a Tool for Power Struggle’!
‘SPIRITUALITY begins with the HUMAN BODY being The Temple of The Most High, which houses Our Life, the essence of Our Existence’! ‘SPIRITUALITY is not Theology or Ideology! It is simply a Way of Life pure and Original, as was given by The Most High of CREATION’! ‘SPIRITUALITY is a Network linking us to The Most High, the Universe and Each Other’!
Again, His Majesty says, “‘As we do not practice or permit discrimination within our nation, so we oppose it wherever it is found’! ‘As we guarantee to each the right to worship as he chooses, so we denounce the policy which sets man against man on issues of RELIGION’! ‘As we extend the hand of Universal Brotherhood to all, without regard to race or color, so we condemn any social or political order, which distinguishes among GOD’S Children on this most specious of grounds’ – H.I.M!”
Clearly as it was spoken, as it was written, so was it fulfilled, The King came and reprove the World of Sin, of Righteousness, and of Judgment, because the Prince of this World is judged!
Is this not the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, who are you? He confessed, and denied not, but confessed, ‘I am not the Messiah’. They asked him, what then? Are you Elijah? He said, ‘I am not’. They asked, are you “That Prophet”? He answered, ‘No’!
Clearly, it was known, that The Messiah Prince and That Prophet were to come and Elijah is to return! The Parable is “That Prophet” came first, which is the Son, and then came “The Messiah Prince”, which is The FATHER! Behold: My LORD and My LORD!
Since it is vital to have Clarity and to know Truth, because of Life and Death, and the Destiny of Mankind, O’ Righteous of the Earth, let it not be your cry, “it was not made clear; I did not know”! Thus, it is “RESTORED” unto you, Who can refute? No, not one!
Clearly, the world was fooled!! Can Judaism, Christianity or Islam claim to be “the way of The Most High God, and the world should follow”? No, not one! Is it not written, “The LORD hath sworn and will not relent, you art a priest forever after “The Order of Melchizedek (PS. 110:4)”? Was not Melchizedek in the days of Abraham, which was long before those Three Religions? Truly, The LORD must reject them!!
"Fear not to enter in the Doors of Knowledge! Fear not the embracing of Wisdom! Fear not Enlightenment! For TRUTH is irrefutable, and stand without Justification! For that which needs to be “Justify” is call a “Lie”! Behold the Bitter-sweet Cup of the wine of LOVE!"
Surely for the sake of the Earth, the Truth needs to be established! For as it was, for thousands of years before “ABRAM” was conceived, the Words were heard saying, “‘UNTIL SHILOH COMES’”, which means “The Mighty Judge”, or the Almighty!
Then came the prophesy of the Covenant of Abraham; and of a Mighty Oath made by the Most High to David, the first king of the lineage of Judah! As such, the words “Until Shiloh Comes” bind over two third of the world’s population, which are of these three religions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam, by a Great Covenant and a Mighty Oath made by The Most High!
This Great Oath began as a blessing given to Judah by Jacob/Israel, with these words as the foundation: “The Scepter shall not depart from JUDAH, or a Lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh Come, and unto Him shall the gathering of the people be (Genesis 49: 10)!” Then to David, it is written, “The LORD hath sworn in Truth unto David; HE will not turn from it; of the fruit of your body will I set upon your Throne (Psalm 132:11)!”
As such two-third of the world’s population is bound to the same understanding that “SHILOH”, which is The Messiah, must be a descendant of DAVID, which the Most High shall set upon David’s Throne, and to Him shall the gathering of the people be! Thus, the destiny of the World rest upon the fulfillment of the Coming of “SHILOH”!
Therefore, the great question is, who is “The MAN” that is Shiloh? Who is “The MAN” that is called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Prince of Peace and The Everlasting Father? It is written, “Behold the days shall come says The LORD, that I shall raise unto David a Righteous Branch, a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute Judgment and Justice in the Earth!” “Now this is His name by which He shall be called: THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS!” Thus, who is “That MAN”?
Yet, the full comprehension of what is destined is lacking, and differs from one religion to the other. In fact, these three religions are broken into denominations, and hold various understandings. Thus, neither do the sheep nor the shepherds of these three religions possess a clear understanding of what is to be or why!
As a result, in each of these three religions there are many variations of what is to be. The main reason is! These three religions have omitted “The Key Prophecies” that joined and solidified all the Prophesies, which are, “The Testimony unto MOSES”, and “The Covenant of DAVID”.
Clearly, it is vital for the world to know TRUTH! Especially, since these three religions hold to a common understanding that the earth will engage itself in a “WAR”, which will cause a great and dreadful period of suffering upon the Earth, whereby billions shall die in a Holy War call “The Great War of Armageddon”!
Therefore, how long shall these Religions sit in Moses seat and shut up the kingdom of GOD against Man? Should it not be expected that one day The LORD will rise up a Descendant of Moses and bring to light understanding? Especially, since it is written, if it were possible, even the very “Elect” would be fooled! Thus, I call upon everyone that seek after Righteousness, and desire Truth.

Why are we even waiting for/talking about a messiah?
Fairy tale, dream, delusion. And come on, do you really trust the bible?
If you did I sure hope you dont work on sunday (well in all actuality saturday) and if you have a slave, you will be stoned if you kill it, but its okay if you beat it so bad it takes two (only two) days to come out of coma. But it has to be able stand up too.
Plus if you're a woman forget about going to church with men, let alone speaking to a minister. If your kids talk back, go ahead and stone them. Did I mention to death? And Yeshua didnt die because of anything he did or did not do, it was just written, so it had to go that way.
Thy word be done.
If your eye offends, pluck it out-it is better to go to heaven with one eye then rot in hell with two. Blowing chunks... god of love??? Love or insanity? God of delusion and narcissism. Sacrificing animals because he likes the smell, and he wants you to give up everything to follow him. EVERYTHING... kids, spouses, any spare change of clothes... Does this not sound like homelessness? If you want to follow him, this is what you need to do.
Sounds cultish to me. Do people not actually read the bible before they preach it? I studied it 12 hours a day for two years, I think I can safely say it is crap, but a good book for the weak minded who need to be led like sheep. Actually, this is who god prefers, he even calls them sheep, following him mindlesly. It is preferred one follows with blind faith, not questioning the validity of scripture as it is God breathed. I used to quote the scriptures, but find it is just a waste of time, even the Christians have only heard the good ones, the common ones, the queer ones are denied. Oh, stone all queers, they are demon infested. I am a goat Naa naa na na naa.
The Messiah is the one male or female who can shed some light on the delusions of the world so people can see reality for what it really is. The messiah will not make you give up your kids, and you will not have to follow a messiah as you will be able to find the answers yourself. You will not have to pray to an unseen messiah, a messiah will be kind enough to actually be there to listen. A messiah will never make you believe through faith, a messiah will show you, teach you, help you. Fate sucks, so why pray for it??? A messiah will not be secretive, will know the ramifications of future events and speak clearly and consisely, not in riddles and with hidden meanings. A messiah will not have to perform miracles, a messiah will be the miracle.
The bible is old and moldy and full of delusion, as is any thing. Times change, I have hope that religion will end and the personification of the earth will become.............

For studying 12 hr a day for 2 years. You sure didn't learn nothing. Have you ever study on the Dispensation. There are 7 of them. I will list them for you. #1-The Dispensation of the Innocence,#2-The Dispensation Conscience,#3-The Dispensation of the Human Government,#4-The Dispensation of the Promise,#5-The Dispensation of the (LAW)-This period lasted 1,718 years from the time of (Moses) to (Jesus). #1-The purpose of (LAW) was given to Moses to govern Israel until the (Messiah) should come. It Prophesied until John, (Matt,11: 11-13; Luke,16: 16-17 ) #2 It stopped every mouth and made the whole world guilty before (GOD),- THAT EVERY MOUTH MAY BE STOPPED, AND ALL THE WORLD BECOME GUILTY BEFORE GOD, (Rom,3: 19-20) #3 It brought to men the knowledge of Sin: Therefore by the deeds of the Law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the Law is the knowledge of sin ..The Law worketh wrath: for where no Law is there is no transgression.......sin is not imputed where there is no Law......Moreover the Law entered that the offense might abound, (Rom, 3:19 20;- 4:15; -5:13-20;- 7:5, 7-14). #4 It was added because of transgression, TILL the seed should come.....The Law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by (Faith) (Gal, 3:12-13, 19-24).#5 The Law brought bondage: These are the two covenants; the from Mount Sinai which gendereth to bondage, (Gal, 4:24-31; 5:1). #6 The Law was a " shadow of good things to come[ imposed upon men] until the time of reformation" (COL,2:14-17; Heb,8:5; 9:1-10, 24; 10:1)....... The Fulfillment of the Law and why it was done away in Christ.....We are now living in the#6 (Dispensation of (GRACE), this started at the birth of (JESUS CHRIST) until now lasting 2007 years .And will continue until The return of Jesus Christ.This is why we are saved by (GRACE). The purpose of GOD in giving the Law was only natural that it should be done away with when it was fulfilled in Christ and after it has served its purpose. That there was a change in the Law of God to men after Christ came and that he fulfilled the Law when He came. i have come to fulfill the Law.........one jot or tittle shall in no wise pass from the Law, till all be fulfilled, (Matt, 5:17-18), The Law prophesied until John, (Luke 16:16), All things must be fulfilled, which was spoken in the Law of Moses,(Luke, 24:44), For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the Law,(Heb,7:12), The first covenant ......was figure for the time then present ......Imposed on them UNTIL the time of reformation,(Heb,9:1,10), Cast out the bondwoman and her son,(which is an allegory teaching the Law was to be done away, (Gal, 4:24-31), Christ is the end of the Law for righteousness to everyone that believeth, (no man is made righteous by keeping it,(Rom, 3:19-31; 8:3; 10:4; Gal,2:16-21; 5:4; Eph,2:15; Col, 2:14-17; Act,13:39; 15:5-29), he taketh away the first, he may establish the second, (Heb,10:1-9). The word Fulfill means completed, brought to an end,expired, and finished in the same sense that many prophecies were fulfilled in Christ and because they are fulfilled they are no longer in force. they have served their purpose. The meaning of (FULFILL), In (Matt,1:22; 2:15, 17, 23; 4:14; 8:17; 12:17; 13:35; 21:4; 26:54, 56; 27:9,35;etc. Three times it is stated in ( 2Cor. 3: 6-18 ) That the old covenant or the Law of Moses was done away and once it is spoken of being abolished and that the new covenant has taken its place........................That is why we are under (GRACE) and not the Law.....You need to be careful what you speak about (God,Jesus & the Holy Spirit there is only one (SIN) God will not forgive. The (Unpardonable Sin). BLASPHEMY against the Spirit of God.(Matt, 12:31) If you don't understand what this is i will tell you.You said you study the Bible so you should know the Word of God. Knowing the word and speaking bad thing against the (WORD OF GOD) this is Blasphemy against what (GOD) stand for. The Sadducees, Pharisees and the Scribes spoke evil against what Jesus stood for, they spoke BLASPHEMY that is why Jesus told them, that they were like their father the devil. #7-The last Dispensation will be the (Dispensation of The Divine Government), also know as (The Millennium Reign of Christ and His Saints.This dispensation will last 1,000 years (Rev,20:1-10)
