Jefferson Bible and the Philosophy of Jesus of Nazareth
Thomas Jefferson managed to achieve more remarkable accomplishments in his lifetime, than anyone I have ever heard about, except Jesus Christ.

At a time when Bibles were imported from Europe and costs a month salary, he edited and published his own book in 1802, and it’s a masterpiece. Thomas Jefferson used a scalpel and a stack of Bibles, to glue and edit his own version. Now it’s the most valuable book in the world.

In my opinion Jefferson was also an ascended master and the only man to have ever read everything of import, that was available at that time. He could read and write in many languages and was undaunted by any manuscript. There was nothing mysterious on earth that he wasn’t aware of, as his interests spanned every possible category.

Actions define a man, not the words they say and Jefferson made a book with his owns hands and it is not named the Jefferson Bible, he would be insulted to know that’s what it’s called. The real name puts shame on some people who prefer down-play the value of it’s meaning, since even the Library of Congress was once upon a time the books of Jefferson.

The Library of Congress was founded to house the collection of books donated by Thomas Jefferson to U.S. House of Representatives, and he knew it was priceless (even then). Now it’s a National Treasure and the Library of Congress is vast. In the beginning of my career the Library of Congress hosted Bulletin Board Servers, we called BBS in 1992 pre-WWW and allowed remote access to digital archives. By the people, for the people. Back then my first Domain name registration (investoffshore.com) was from the National Science Foundation and was free.

The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth, commonly referred to as the Jefferson Bible, is one of two religious works constructed by Thomas Jefferson. The first, The Philosophy of Jesus of Nazareth, was completed in 1804, but no copies exist today.

Thomas Jefferson, the third President of the United States.

The second, The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth, was completed in 1820 by cutting and pasting with a razor and glue numerous sections from the New Testament as extractions of the doctrine of Jesus. Jefferson’s condensed composition excludes all miracles by Jesus and most mentions of the supernatural, including sections of the four gospels that contain the Resurrection and most other miracles, and passages that portray Jesus as divine.

Jefferson accomplished a more limited goal in 1804 with The Philosophy of Jesus of Nazareth, the predecessor to The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth. He described it in a letter to John Adams dated October 12, 1813:

In extracting the pure principles which he taught, we should have to strip off the artificial vestments in which they have been muffled by priests, who have travestied them into various forms, as instruments of riches and power to themselves. We must dismiss the Platonists and Plotinists, the Stagyrites and Gamalielites, the Eclectics, the Gnostics and Scholastics, their essences and emanations, their logos and demiurges, aeons and daemons, male and female, with a long train of … or, shall I say at once, of nonsense. We must reduce our volume to the simple evangelists, select, even from them, the very words only of Jesus, paring off the amphibologisms into which they have been led, by forgetting often, or not understanding, what had fallen from him, by giving their own misconceptions as his dicta, and expressing unintelligibly for others what they had not understood themselves. There will be found remaining the most sublime and benevolent code of morals which has ever been offered to man. I have performed this operation for my own use, by cutting verse by verse out of the printed book, and arranging the matter which is evidently his, and which is as easily distinguishable as diamonds in a dunghill. The result is an octavo of forty-six pages, of pure and unsophisticated doctrines.

Sweet home Okanagan
Aaron atop Knox Mountain, Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada

Sweet home Okanagan title fits so well, borrowed from the famous rock anthem by Lynard Skynard, that it could very well have been written for the place where I grew up; the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia.

Kelowna 1909

My family legend is that my father’s grandfather left Salt Lake City in 1888 headed for Vancouver because of political upheaval in Utah and I suspect since he was a young man at that time (born in 1861) he migrated to Canada but on his way to the west coast boom town, he laid his eyes on Okanagan lake from the ridge pass and decided he’d found his new home.
My father was born in Kelowna as was his father. I was born in Lions Gate Hospital in North Vancouver in 1961 and 100 years after Arthur Day, whose name is inscribed on the Mormon tabernacle in Salt Lake City. Although I live in Vancouver, my heart considers Kelowna my home.

Kelowna 1920

Now four generations later the once sleepy valley is home to three mature cities, Penticton, Kelowna and Vernon and the about a half million people that live in a four seasons playground that would be fit for a King.

The Okanagan Lake is 97 miles long and 2 to 5 miles wide with a large provincial park covering a large swath of land, about in the middle of the lake to encompass the region that surrounds the lake, to preserve and protect that natural wilderness for generations to come.

Most of the rest of Okanagan Lake has beautiful homes built upon it’s shore and thoughtful urban development has designed subdivisions spread along the mountainsides that gently slope to the waters edge. From a boat the spectacle is remarkable and wonderful to witness the integration of humanity in nature.

Kelowna (/kəˈloʊnə/) is a city on Okanagan Lake in the Okanagan Valley in the southern interior of British Columbia, Canada. It serves as the head office of the Regional District of the Central Okanagan. The name Kelowna derives from an Okanagan language term for “grizzly bear“.

The Kelowna metropolitan area has a population of 217,214; the third-largest metropolitan area in the province, behind only Vancouver and Victoria. Additionally, the City of Kelowna is the seventh-largest city in the province. It ranks as the 22nd-largest in Canada and is the largest inland city in British Columbia. Kelowna’s city proper contains 211.82 square kilometres (81.78 sq mi), and the census metropolitan area contains 2,904.86 square kilometres (1,121.57 sq mi). In 2019, it was estimated that Kelowna’s population had grown to 217,229 in the metropolitan area and 142,146 in the city proper.

Nearby communities include the City of West Kelowna (also referred to as Westbank, Westside) to the west across Okanagan Lake, Lake Country and Vernon to the north, and Peachland to the southwest, and further to the south, Summerland and Penticton.

Martin Dreadnought in the House

Martin Dreadnought in the house! I bought my first guitar today and started learning Redemption Song by Bob Marley. This is among the most memorable days of my life, I should have done this years ago. I’m in love with this instrument and have found a new passion for a lifetime – learning to entertain myself and the fantasy of becoming a troubadour.

UPDATE: As a sign of congratulations, in June the following story appeared:

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) — Grunge became gold Saturday as the guitar Kurt Cobain played on Nirvana’s 1993 “MTV Unplugged” performance months before his death sold for an eye-popping $6 million at auction.

The 1959 Martin D-18E that Cobain played in the band’s rare acoustic performance and subsequent live album was sold to Australian Peter Freedman, owner of Røde Microphones, at the Music Icons event run by Julien’s Auctions in Beverly Hills, California.

The bids opened at $1 million for the sale that ended up breaking several world records.

Cobain used it to play tunes including “About a Girl” and “All Apologies” at the Nov. 18, 1993, show in New York that came less than five months before the singer and songwriter died at age 27.

A day earlier at the same auction event, a custom guitar played by Prince at the height of his stardom in the 1980s and 1990s sold for $563,500, a small sum compared with the Cobain guitar but well over the $100,000 to $200,000 it was expected to fetch.

Prince played the blindingly blue guitar with the artist’s “love” symbol on its neck beginning on the 1984 Purple Rain Tour, as well as on the classic albums “Lovesexy” and “Sign O’ The Times.” He used it into the early 1990s.

Archivists going through Prince’s possessions at his Paisley Park home and musical headquarters in Minnesota recently found the guitar that was thought to be lost during the four years since his death from an overdose at age 57.

Also Friday, a macrame belt that Elvis Presley wore about 30 times on stage brought in nearly 10 times its expected price, with a final bid of $298,000, and an ivory gown worn by Madonna in her 1990 “Vogue” video sold for $179,200.

Martin Guitar Company

A C.F. Martin & Company HD-28 Dreadnought

Martin (inventor of the Dreadnought in 1916) were founded in 1833. CF Martin were making guitars during the civil war, in a factory that remains today, 30 miles from Gettysburg. They never stopped making guitars. Made in USA ✌

The dreadnought is a type of acoustic guitar body developed by American guitar manufacturer C.F. Martin & Company. The style, since copied by other guitar manufacturers, has become the most common for acoustic guitars.

At the time of its creation in 1916 the word dreadnought referred to a large, all big-gun, modern battleship of the type pioneered by HMS Dreadnought in 1906. A body much larger than most other guitars provided the dreadnought with a bolder, perhaps richer, and often louder tone. It is distinguished by its size and square shoulders and bottom. The neck is usually attached to the body at the fourteenth fret.

Martin dreadnought guitars are also known as “D-size” guitars, or, colloquially among musicians, as dreads. Their model numbers consist of “D-” followed by a number, such as “D-18” and “D-45”. The higher the numerical designation, the more decorative ornamentation on the instrument.

Dreadnought History

The dreadnought style was originally developed in 1916 and was manufactured by Martin specifically for retailer the Oliver Ditson Company. The model was retired after dismal sales. In 1931, after revising the design, Martin began producing dreadnought guitars under its own brand, the first two models being the D-1 and D-2, with bodies made of mahogany and rosewood respectively.

The popularity of and demand for Martin dreadnought guitars was increased by their use, almost exclusively, by folk musicians of the mid-20th century, including most bluegrass guitarists. Today dreadnoughts are considered the standard guitar of bluegrass music, used by many bluegrass musicians to produce a signature sound of that genre.

Martin dreadnoughts manufactured prior to 1946 are highly desired by musicians due to their loud volume and exceptional tone due to the use of scalloped bracing. It is not uncommon for these guitars to sell for in excess of $30,000.

The Gibson Guitar Company‘s initial response to the Martin dreadnought was the round-shouldered J, which it introduced in 1934. It introduced its first square shouldered guitar, the Hummingbird, in 1960.

Since then, dreadnoughts have been made by nearly all of the major guitar manufacturers worldwide in both standard and more recently various single-cutaway forms.

Our Father of Peace the Revealer of Light

Painting of the nine saints (not all in photo) of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, as depicted on the mural in the Church of Our Lady Mary of Zion.

Bob Marley made Movement of Jah people for the ARK OF THE COVENANT to Bless Our Father of Peace the Revealer of Light. This was the mandate of Haile Selassie a crown prince and regent of the Ethiopian Empire from 1916 to 1928, and then king and regent from 1928 to 1930, and finally Emperor from 1930 to 1974. This Emperor inspired Bob Marley and Rastafari.

Old Church of Saint Mary of Zion in Aksum, Tigray Region, Ethiopia

The Church of Our Lady Mary of Zion (Amharic: ርዕሰ አድባራት ቅድስተ ቅዱሳን ድንግል ማሪያም ፅዮን Re-ese Adbarat Kidiste Kidusan Dingel Maryam Ts’iyon) is an Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church in Ethiopia. It is claimed to contain the Ark of the Covenant. It is located in the town of Axum, Tigray.

The original church is believed to have been built during the reign of Ezana the first Christian ruler of the Kingdom of Axum (Present-day Eritrea and Ethiopia), during the 4th century AD, and has been rebuilt several times since then.

The Chapel of the Tablet

St. Mary of Zion claims to contain the original Ark of the Covenant. Reportedly, the Ark was moved to the Chapel of the Tablet adjacent to the old church because a divine ‘heat’ from the Tablets had cracked the stones of its previous sanctum. Emperor Haile Selassie’s wife, Empress Menen, paid for the construction of the new chapel.

According to tradition, the Ark came to Ethiopia with Menelik I after he visited his father King Solomon. Only the guardian monk may view the Ark, in accordance with the Biblical accounts of the dangers of doing so for non-Kohanim. This lack of accessibility, and questions about the account as a whole, has led Ethiopians and foreign scholars alike to express doubt about the veracity of the claim.

The guardian monk is appointed for life by his predecessor before the predecessor dies. If the incumbent guardian dies without naming a successor, then the monks of the monastery hold an election to select the new guardian. The guardian then is confined to the chapel of the Ark of the Covenant for the rest of his life, praying before it and offering incense.

In a 1992 interview, Edward Ullendorff, former Professor of Ethiopian Studies at the University of London, says that he personally examined the ark contained within the church in 1941 while a British army officer. Describing the ark, he says, “They have a wooden box, but it’s empty. Middle- to late-medieval construction, when these were fabricated ad hoc.

The dome and bell tower of the new Cathedral of Our Lady Mary of Zion, built by Emperor Haile Selassie in the 1950s

Since its founding during the episcopacy of Frumentius (known in Ethiopia as Abune Selama Kesatie Birhan or “Our Father of Peace the Revealer of Light”) the Church of Mary of Zion has been destroyed and rebuilt at least twice. Its first putative destruction occurred at the hands of Queen Gudit during the 10th century. Its second, confirmed, destruction occurred in the 16th century at the hands of Ahmad ibn Ibrihim al-Ghazi, after which it was rebuilt by the Emperor Gelawdewos, then further rebuilt and enlarged by Fasilides during the 17th century.

St. Mary of Zion was the traditional place where Ethiopian Emperors came to be crowned. And indeed, if an Emperor was not crowned at Axum, or did not at least have his coronation ratified by a special service at St. Mary of Zion, he could not be referred to by the title of “Atse”

A Natural Mystic Blowing Through the Air

The Trumpet was placed on the top spire of the most famous temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of of Latter-day Saints on April 6, 1892, the photo now shows that the trumpet is gone. The 5.7-magnitude earthquake shook Utah Wednesday March 18th and dislodged a symbolic part of Salt Lake City’s iconic Mormon temple: the trumpet of an angel statue atop its highest spire dropped and now a Natural Mystic is blowing it through the air.

This was the day I picked up the Trumpet and started blowing it in the wind, since A in Day is my Great-grandfather Arthur Day, his name is inscribed on the tabernacle under that angel. My duty is to make way for Jesus Christ, this time he’s bringing a sword.

Movement of Jah people has begun!

There’s a natural mystic
Blowing through the air
If you listen carefully now you will hear
This could be the first trumpet
Might as well be the last
Many more will have to suffer
Many more will have to die
Don’t ask me why
Things are not the way they used to be
I won’t tell no lie
One and all got to face reality now

Though I try to find the answer
To all the questions they ask
Though I know it’s impossible
To go living through the past
Don’t tell no lie
There’s a natural mystic
Blowing through the air
Can’t keep them down
If you listen carefully now you will hear
Such a natural mystic
Blowing through the air

This could be the first trumpet
Might as well be the last
Many more will have to suffer
Many more will have to die
Don’t ask me why
There’s a natural mystic
Blowing through the air
I won’t tell no lie
If you listen carefully now, you will hear
There’s a natural mystic
Blowing through the air

Optimum Nutrition Survival Food

I never wanted to write about prepping, which was a bigger trend a few years ago than it is now but it’s one of those topics I need to research to learn for my own curiosity. My favourite survival food is muesli but you can’t live on granola alone.

Actually glad that I hadn’t invested more in the food supplies I already hoard, along with bug-out bag and some survival gear but not much more than camping equipment and dry goods.

Now my curiosity is aimed more at what would be the highest quality food that people take on mountaineering expeditions, and/or recreational outdoor sports nutrition. Even thinking about natural foods too.

So this page will be dedicated to dropping in some ideas and links, images and ideas about the best food for optimum nutrition survival food but what tastes best, last longest and is easiest to buy, make and store.

MREs are the main operational food ration for the United States Armed Forces. It originated from the c-rations and k-rations from World War II, and later developed into MCI (Meal, Combat, Individual) rations used in Korea and Vietnam. In 1980 the MRE was developed and is still the U.S. Army’s primary ration.

A French Army combat ration, with two meals and energy bars.

Canada provides each soldier with a complete pre-cooked meal known as the IMP (Individual Meal Pack), packaged inside a heavy-duty folding paper bag. There are 5 breakfast menus, 6 lunch menus, and 6 supper menus. Canadian rations provide generous portions and contain a large number of commercially available items. Like the US ration, the main meal is precooked and ready-to-eat, packed in heavy-duty plastic-foil retort pouches boxed with cardboard. Typically, the ration contains a meal item (beans and wiener sausages, scalloped potatoes with ham, smoked salmon fillet, macaroni and cheese, cheese omelette with mushrooms, shepherd’s pie, etc.), wet-packed (sliced or mashed) fruit in a boxed retort pouch, and depending on the meal a combination of instant soup or cereal, fruit drink crystals, jam or cheese spread, peanut butter, honey, crackers, bread (bun) compressed into a retort pouch, coffee and tea, sugar, commercially available chocolate bars and hard candy, a long plastic spoon, paper towels and wet wipes. Canada also makes limited use of a Light Meal Pack containing dried meat or cheese, dried fruit, a granola bar, a breakfast cereal square, a chocolate bar, hard candy, hot cocoa mix, tea, and two pouches of instant fruit drink. Canadian ration packs also contain a book of cardboard matches.

Here’s my idea of the best plan for Optimum Nutrition Survival Food, although more protein would be necessary.

Ark of the Covenant and the Promised Land
My name is Aaron and I am here to lead the movement of Jah people, this is my truth. Self-sovereign Identity (SSI) mandate of UN sets us free, the wealth is, and always was, in our names. The Ark induces singularity and causes peace, it has the power to drop all guns and grievances. Nothing else ever had, or will have, this power of intent. It unifies all minds at once.

The Ark of the Covenant is an Instrument of Peace that if played in harmony, can Unite Africa and Save the World

A peace revolution has been introduced and now the concept of a self-governing body to administer monetary policy, based solely on the aggregation, management of members SSI. We can retain our nations but agree to a common rule of law described by Sovereignty that we grant to our Self and recognized by International Law. We all become free from tyranny.

I was standing in the shadows until the day the Angel dropped it’s trumpet from above a Church in Utah, that day I started blowing the trumpet. My message has been to expose a diabolical social engineering plan had been unleashed on the good people of the world. I am a messenger of the great awakening, also known as a light-worker.

My ideas are free and can lift Africa from poverty, faster than Amway made money in America. It’s the value of cooperation by joining our names.

Every soul on earth may obtain an identity, all they need is a smart phone and by taking the right steps, taught by an agent who earns money to enroll the new registrant, if the correct mathematical model is set-up, the collection of digital identities becomes the currency of the new digital economy, where the revenue is sustainably shared locally to Unite Africa.

The idea of global citizenship See: https://lionsgate.io/cloud-communities-the-dawn-of-global-citizenship/

Ark of the Covenant is hidden in Tigray province, in plain sight, along with a genocide and a pipeline across the region is still killing people. I am writing to you today, to solicit your authority to begin prosecution of Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. Justice must be served to preserve the rule of law, therefore Movement of Jah people declare a crime of morality.

The all seeing eye atop an obelisk is a dead give away – Northern Stelae Park in Aksum, Tigray Region, Ethiopia. The Ark is near here but can be found from Jamaica, as it’s written on a Rasta man’s soul.

My investigation as a QAnon researcher, had me reading documents about Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus crimes in Ethiopia. Something Q constantly said, triggered me to search differently – he said – “symbols will be their downfall”. Then it was Re-discovered, having been moved from St. Mary of Zion Chappel into
The book of Enoch explains how and why the Ark of the Covenant was moved but what most people don’t realize, is that Rastafari were once orthodox Jews. Hence, the symbols of the Lion of Judah, which are in all Ethiopia history. Note the Coat of Arms of Ethiopia from before the Italy invasion, one of the darkest periods in African history.

Peace, Sovereignty and sanctity were stolen from Ethiopia but the Ark of the Covenant was not lost, it remains safe. It’s guarded by dark forces but we need it and we are the light of truth, vested with the power and authority of God to read the Agreements for all the world to see.

Movement of Jah people is in Exodus of Babylon Control, we are marching to Nine Mile Jamaica and then on to the promised land, as we Unite Africa.

Here’s where it gets interesting and mixes with myth and metaphysical theory and speculation…. DNA may be the key to opening the Ark of the Covenant. This clue is written on a Rasta Man’s soul and Bob Marley is the Lion of Zion, telling us about Exodus, which is now happening. In theory; DNA of Rastafari bloodline can go near the Ark of the Covenant, since Jesus Christ is in the same blood line of Haile Selassie.

Today the Ark of the Covenant is guarded by only one watchman because no-one can go near it or they get radiation poisoning, no-one can move it because it’s unstable and has an obelisk built over it. It’s hidden in front of our faces because 2 million people died of a misdiagnoses by Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus (he’s not an MD so Wikipedia had to remove the Dr. from his name to confuse us, he’s a failed community-science doctor accused of genocide). However, the warlord that controls Tigray is protecting the cover-up and hiding the Ark of the Covenant.

In 1999 I was the founder of Rock-n-Roll.com which met it’s demise when Napster ended free downloads, as we wanted to free rock music in giant search engine of free downloads. My entire 30 year career has been digital media and Internet marketing.

My passion is web development, I was the Bahamas webmaster, when I lived in Florida, before Rock-n-Roll, then I became the volunteer webmaster for the Movement of Jah people and worked with the Marley Family, at their compound in South Miami, which was Bob’s house. Mama B (his mom), Richie and Sharon lived there. Mostly I was there in the day time but it was known to be jammin in the studio every night.

I was a friend to the Marley family and invited VIP backstage 3 years in a row for Bob Marley Day in Miami, also attended Mama B’s birthday party and met Chris Blackwell, Ziggy Marley (sang Happy Birthday to Mama B) and many famous musicians and tons of really cool people. Little would I know, that 20 years later, I would be the one to blow the trumpet, guess that makes me a Natural Mystic.

The plan to Unite Africa is easier than people would think and that’s what we’re told to do. I’m suggesting that we do it from Nine Mile, Jamaica. Begin broadcasting 24/7 live Peace Treaty Counsel meetings and introduce Rastafari to the world. Allow the Marley family to control the guest list and allow artists and musicians from all walks of life to weigh-in. No corporate sponsors, no outside media, no Political agenda, no Religion, no UN, no FUCKERY.

We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.
Albert Einstein

Nine Mile Accord – Peace Treaty

Peace Treaty Settlement Negotiations to Unite Africa from Nine Mile, Jamaica – 24/7 Live stream

Before we can approach the Ark of the Covenant we have to right the wrongs, starting with the people nearest to where it is buried. Since we can’t even fly there to research the location, it’s a war zone and gas leaks are killing people on the southern border, too dangerous. We can use the “idea” to begin Exodus, by offering the world a new problem/solution.

How do we Unite Africa? Then write a new covenant with God? With One Love!

Good folks from Florida spent a couple decades and millions of dollars to get Nine Mile (compound) ready. The Buffalo soldiers will protect St Ann perish and I’m told that the VIP cottages were hand-crafted for celebrities, to visit Bob Marley’s birth place. It’s a superb location. So the idea would be to have moderators, that explain all the break-out live streams, many of which are for solving local problems on the ground in Africa but the main broadcast is by people who shine the most love and truth.

African Americans depart for Liberia, 1896

We all know we want peace but also righteousness, however we must not become what we just promised to leave. International Tribunal for Natural Justice (ITNJ) could play such a key role and I fear that without and what RDS calls “open-source everything” and the help of ITNJ we will end up worse than the first Africa Exodus movement (failed). The Back-to-Africa movement, in the 19th century called Black Zionism must be known and reconciled.

Peace will be promised to all people who join us, we will give peace to the world and Unite Africa, as we’ve been told to do. If you would endorse this idea, then I would go the people at Nine Mile and Marley family to discuss.

My reason for living was revealed to me, after a lifetime of searching. My purpose in life, is to help lead the movement of Jah people, to Exodus Babylon. I bring you Peace Revolution. http://peacerevolution.love/

Chevy Trucks Rock!
Chevy Trucks Rock in order to avoid spinning this blog into a new age spiritual platform direction, or too many scriptural type post, since I have a tendency of late to be in this armor of God sort of mindset. This armour of steel can act as an antidote.

My favourite thing for a couple of decades was a Chevy half ton with high performance small block 327 with four barrel carburettor, headers and dual exhaust, at good suspension and fat tires. All that’s missing is a killer stereo in the cab and a tank of gas.

Trucks are a real Dude thing, especially in the west of America. In Western Canada trucks are the most vehicle you’ll see, as soon as you leave the city. Every small town will have a truck parked in front of each house and the further north you go, the more percentage of trucks you see.
In the far north of Canada, the truck dealerships are gold mines and make more money than any other type of business, since people will walk in the door and have a pay check in one hand and a bank loan in the other. They sell trucks, during a boom time, like they were skateboards.

Chevy Colorado Z71

Most people are either Ford or Chevy but there still remains a hard-core Ram owners club and a growing Toyota crowd, plus many other good makes delivering that truck experience us Dude’s seek. It’s where they can take us, what we can take with us, and how good we feel getting there.

My first truck was a Ford but after that nothing but Chevy, a total of four, two of which were 4×4. That one had a sun roof too and was a real beauty, ran all those trucks for thousands of miles all over western Canada and drove one to Ontario, where I sold it for more than I paid.

Chevy Trucks Rock!

Book of Enoch

The Book of Enoch is unto itself a most important read, not only for it’s historic significance but primarily for it’s testimony of gods beyond our imaginations (without these teachings). It’s fun and easy to read, there’s many free options but here’s the main: https://book-ofenoch.com/

The Book of Enoch (also 1 Enoch; Ge’ez: መጽሐፈ ሄኖክ maṣḥafa hēnok) is an ancient Hebrew apocalyptic religious text, ascribed by tradition to Enoch, the great-grandfather of Noah.

Enoch contains unique material on the origins of demons and giants, why some angels fell from heaven, an explanation of why the Great Flood was morally necessary, and prophetic exposition of the thousand-year reign of the Messiah.

The older sections (mainly in the Book of the Watchers) of the text are estimated to date from about 300–200 BCE, and the latest part (Book of Parables) probably to 100 BCE.

Various Aramaic fragments found in the Dead Sea Scrolls, as well as Koine Greek and Latin fragments, were proof that The Book of Enoch was known by Jews and early Christians. This book was also quoted by some 1st and 2nd century authors as in the Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs.

Authors of the New Testament were also familiar with some content of the story. A short section of 1 Enoch (1:9) is cited in the New Testament, Epistle of Jude, Jude 1:14–15, and is attributed there to “Enoch the Seventh from Adam” (1 En 60:8), although this section of 1 Enoch is a midrash on Deuteronomy 33:2. Several copies of the earlier sections of 1 Enoch were preserved among the Dead Sea Scrolls.

It is not part of the biblical canon used by Jews, apart from Beta Israel (Ethiopian Jews). Most Christian denominations and traditions may accept the Books of Enoch as having some historical or theological interest and while the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church and Eritrean Orthodox Tewahedo Church consider the Books of Enoch as canonical, other Christian groups regard them as non-canonical or non-inspired.

It is wholly extant only in the Ge’ez language, with Aramaic fragments from the Dead Sea Scrolls and a few Greek and Latin fragments. For this and other reasons, the traditional Ethiopian belief is that the original language of the work was Ge’ez, whereas modern scholars argue that it was first written in either Aramaic or Hebrew; Ephraim Isaac suggests that the Book of Enoch, like the Book of Daniel, was composed partially in Aramaic and partially in Hebrew.

No Hebrew version is known to have survived. It is asserted in the book itself that its author was Enoch, before the Biblical Flood.

The most complete Book of Enoch comes from Ethiopic manuscripts, maṣḥafa hēnok, written in Ge’ez; which was brought to Europe by James Bruce in the late 18th century and was translated into English in the 19th century.

The Armor of God

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.

In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.
