I wasn't sure if he was disappointed in the OP or our (my) unwillingness to discuss the topic.

Or maybe he was fearing another Asher attack.

The sigh was directed at the OP, and also in wariness of folks who might use this particular post as the basis for a discussion of the ME peace situation.

LOTM, is Isachaar a significant name from Jewish history, or did this dude name himself after the Jewish character who shares Cunegonde with the Grand Inquisitor in Candide? I doubt it, since that wasn't a sympathetic character, but then it's possible this guy is just a troll or a bot programmed by a guy with a weird sense of humor.

And, of course,

These are the tribes of Israel, twelve are not too many
Reuven, Shimon, Yehudah, Dan, Gad, Asher, Issachar, Zevulun, Manasheh, Efraim, Binyamin and Naphtali

(note, there were 12 brothers, including Levi and Joseph, but Levi isnt really a tribe, cause its the priests, and Josephs two sons each get a tribe)

Oh. Too bad, I was hoping we had a literary nutjob with a black sense of humor for once. Oh well, let's get to work. Why did God send a hurricane to whomp poor black people in New Orleans instead of just striking anti-Israel politicians with lightning?

BTW, thinking about Hanukkah. And the timing of Christmas. and stuff.


Jesus, was from Nazareth. In the Galillee. Hes born in Bethlehem, cause his dads (Joseph, not the holy spirit or whatever) family is from there.

Now normally Id just say that the early christians made that up, so he could be associated with the tribe of Judah, and thus descent from David.

But thinking about it, it makes sense actually. The Gallillee tribes (of which Issachar was one, BTW) were eliminated by the Assyrians, and are lost (unless the Mormons are right). The Gallillee was retaken for Israel by the Hasmonean dynasty, the descendants of the maccabees, the heros of Hannukah.

And naturally, they had to resettle the region with the only Jews available, the Jews from the tribe (and region) of Judah. So the gospel may be correct, in tying Jesus to a family origin south of Jerusalem.

What that means, of course, is that Jesus was a Settler.

That's what I figured. I doubt we will hear from the thread starter again. He has said his programmed bit.

whats all this hubub about lol?

tldr OP summary plz? haha

[BlackCat]

No summary needed - the OT speaks for itself.

[Elok]

Yes, but he's saying the OP is too damned long. I'm willing to summarize, since it's so redundant and basic. His argument is essentially:

1. (A bunch of bible verses)

2. Hurricanes and peace accords that did not give Israel exactly what it wanted have occurred close together in the past. This is a clear sign that God hates America for screwing the Jews.

3. A lot of people have occupied Israel, and then ceased to occupy it after a while, which is how there came to be a lot of people occupying Israel instead of just one constant occupation...anyway, this is a clear sign that God hates people who take land He gave to the Jews.

Presumptively He hated the Muslims less than the Brits, since He gave the former several centuries to rule Israel without permission whereas the latter had power over it for less than fifty years. If you disagree with this analysis, you will surely die from some cause within twelve decades, which is a clear sign that God hates people who question His prophets.

[Sirotnikov]

He's right, you know

They say there's an evil eye against people who conquer Israel.

[ZEE]

Elok's summary is tldr lawlz.

Thanks to Siro for teh 1 line summary though

Yeah, it's possible to cook it down, but the real fun is in the details.

I'm quite aware that ole Sneeze needs oneliners to understand something, but why should the rest of us not be allowed to enjoy the sillyness of the full scripture ?

peace AHZZ

Wake me up when Jehovah gets around to fulfilling his promise to totally destroy the city of Tyre...3000 years (or so) later....

[Wezil]

It's on his "To Do List".
