The Sons of Keturah – Islam in Prophecy mark h lane www.biblenumbersforlife.com THE SONS OF KETURAH – ISLAM IN PROPHECY Is the Prophet Mohammed in Scripture? Yes he is. He is called the 'Blessed Guide'. But he is no blessing. The Biblical account of Keturah will explain this. There was a marriage problem between Abraham and Sarah. We don't know if due to her age Sarah lost interest or rebuffed Abraham for other reasons, but we know they stopped sleeping together. To meet his physical and emotional needs, Abraham took a concubine named Keturah and fathered children by her. Some translations of Genesis 25 verse 1 say “Abraham took another wife, whose name was Keturah”. This is a mistranslation. The Hebrew word in this verse is ‘ishshah’ which means ‘woman’. It can mean ‘wife’ in some contexts but not in this context. We know Keturah was not the wife of Abraham because it is written in verse 5 and verse 6: “Abraham left everything to Isaac. But while he was still living, he gave gifts to the sons of his concubines and sent them away from his son Isaac to the land of the East”. The Hebrew word is ‘piylegesh’ and it has the unmistakable meaning of ‘concubine’ or ‘paramour’. The image above is of a belly-dancer, a harlot of Arabia. You will notice the harlot has her face covered by a veil. According to the Bible, wearing a full-face veil is the mark of a harlot. Concerning another harlot, Tamar, the Bible says: “she took off her widow’s clothes, covered herself with a veil to disguise herself, and then sat down at the entrance to Enaim…” (Genesis 38:13). “When Judah saw her, he thought she was a prostitute, for she had covered her face.” (Genesis 38:15). The reason why Arab men are so entranced with belly dancers is the only flesh they can see is the belly – the face is hidden! As if to honor Keturah, even today the daughters of Islam wear a veil. Christian women are taught to wear a head-covering to honor their husband (1 Cor. 11:1-16) not a face-covering. mark h lane www.biblenumbersforlife.com The Hebrew word ‘Keturah’ means 'incense'. Keturah was a devoted female consort to Abraham: she worshiped the ground Abraham walked on, so to speak. Incense in the Bible speaks of worship. It is hard for any man to resist a woman with feelings like that. Abraham was blessed, or so he perceived. Keturah had six sons: Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak and Shuah (Gen. 25 v 2). Here are the Hebrew meanings of their names in order: "musician", "snarer", "contention", "strife", "he releases", "wealth". 1 The six sons represent the prophetic destiny of the descendants of Keturah in the Arab peninsula: "musician"+"snarer" - A seductive trap and a snare: false religion (Zimran & Jokshan) "contention"+"strife" - A thorn in the side of God's holy people (Medan & Midian) "he releases"+"wealth" - A fortune of untold proportions [oil riches] (Ishbak & Shuah) The gematria of the names of the sons of Keturah in order are: 297, 460, 94, 104, 412, and 314. The meaning of the spiritual numbers in order is: "Holy Temple" (Zimran), "Wanton Crimes" (Jokshan), "Proud Humbled" (Medan), "No Spiritual Witness" (Midian), "Tribe Restored" (Ishbak), and "No God in Israel" (Shuah). Today we find a 'holy temple' in the land of the East, the Ka'aba in Mecca. This lines up with 'musician and snarer' of the false religion of Zimran and Jokshan. The descendants of this line of brothers will lead us to Mohammed. 1 Figuratively, Midian is the boy in the picture that is not wearing any cap. Christian men are admonished in Scripture not to cover the head (1 Cor. 11:3-4) because covering the head is a symbol being under authority to a man. Christians are under the authority of God not men. Midianites were converted to Jehovah through the preaching of Moses (Genesis 18:10). However, when the Midianites allied with Moab to fight against Israel God completely destroyed them (Numbers 31). And so no worshippers of Jehovah are left among the sons of Keturah. mark h lane www.biblenumbersforlife.com The image below is the ‘holy temple’ of Islam, known as the Ka’aba, or ‘cube’ (Arabic). Inside the Ka’aba is the sacred ‘black stone’ that the Moslems of the world bow down to. Once in their life Moslems are commanded to sojourn to Mecca to walk in a circle around the Ka’aba seven times. Some will be permitted to enter the Ka’aba to kiss the black stone.2 The Japanese scholar Imoti contends that there were many similar Ka’aba sanctuaries in Arabia at one time, but this was the only one built of stone. The others also allegedly had their own sacred stones. There was a "red stone", the deity of the south Arabian city of Ghaiman, and the "white stone" in the Ka’aba of al-Abalat, near the city of Tabala south of Mecca. The experience of divinity of that period was often associated with stone fetishes, mountains, special rock formations, or trees of strange growth.3 Those who worship sacred stones are mocked in the Bible: “Saying to a rock, ‘Thou art my father’ and to a stone, ‘Thou hast brought me forth’; for they have turned their back [side] unto me, and not their face.” (Jeremiah 2:27). And when a Moslem bows down to pray to the black stone in the Ka’aba, does he not lift up his backside and expose the soles of his feet to God? A Westerner will understand how offensive it is to turn one’s backside up into another person’s face, but in the Middle East to expose the soles of the feet is considered grossly offensive. 2 Does not kissing a black stone harken to the vanity of having sex with a harlot, whose heart is stone towards you? 3 This entire paragraph is a direct quote from the Wikipedia post on the Ka’aba mark h lane www.biblenumbersforlife.com The descendants of Jokshan were Sheba and Dedan (Gen. 25 v.3). Figuratively, the man on the left is Sheba, and the man on the right is Dedan. In Hebrew, Sheba means "Oath" (Honor) and Dedan means "Low Country" (Despised). Put together the names mean ‘Honor Despised’. For a few coins the harlot sells her honor. In spiritual numbers, the gematria of Sheba is 303 which means 'Strong Opponent' and the gematria of Dedan is 58 which means 'Worldly'. Add the gematria of Sheba and Dedan together, it is 361 which means 'Great Harlot'. The sons of Keturah indeed! The spiritual numbers are telling us that out of the descendants of Keturah will come a 'Great Opponent' of the people of God, a 'Worldly' people who will snare unsuspecting souls into the trap of a religion, or a 'Great Harlot'. For those who are not yet aware: all religions are harlots. Catholicism is a harlot. Protestantism is a harlot. Islam is a harlot. These houses of earthly priesthoods replace the holiness of a sacred communion with God, represented by the marriage of Sarah and Abraham, with a purely carnal and fleshly experience, represented by the lust of the sex bed of Abraham and Keturah. Spirituality and religion must never be confused. They are as far apart as a married wife and a prostitute on the side. Dear child of God: flee from religion! Seek a personal relationship with Jesus Christ! Enjoy Him. Delight in Him. Honor Him. Do not honor a harlot. As Solomon warned “Her house leads down to death and her paths to the spirits of the dead”. The spiritual numbers indicate that from the descendants of Keturah will come a 'Great Harlot', in other words, a great religion. Is it the Great Harlot of Revelations? Perhaps it is. But that question is beyond the scope of this paper. mark h lane www.biblenumbersforlife.com Sheba became the country of Saudi Arabia. We know because in Ezekiel 27 the goods of Sheba were described as “spices, precious stones, and gold”. Gold speaks of royalty. Spices speak of riches. Precious stones speak of the idolatrous black rock that is kept in the Ka'aba in Mecca. The Queen of Sheba is an example of that royal line in ancient times. She visited Jerusalem and threw money around and complimented Solomon for his wisdom, but she never converted to the worship of Jehovah. She returned to her land and continued in her idolatry. If you are King of Sheba, you live in luxury to this day! Did you notice that Arabs did not descend from Keturah? Arabs descended from Ishmael, who was the son of Hagar, who also slept with Abraham (and at the suggestion of Sarah!). Arabs are the poor peasants that sweep the streets for the royalty. The Saudis are the royalty of Sheba; the aristocracy that rules over the Arabs. But they themselves are not Arabs. If you think this strange consider that the royal house that rules England is not British. The British royal family represents the 'blue blood' of France. They are the descendants of William the Conqueror, who was a Norman from Normandy, France. Who is Dedan then? Dedan is the "Low Country" or the "Low Life". It speaks of all the tribes of the land of the East who submit to and serve the royal family of Sheba. Let’s explore the descendants of Dedan and see if we can find Mohamed. The descendants of Dedan were three sons: Asshuri, Letushi, and Leumi (Gen.25 v.3).

    HAGGADAH FOR PEYSAKH Boston Workmen’s Circle Arbeter Ring 2018 1 Haggadah for Peysakh 1. Welcome to our Passover seder. Together we celebrate the festival of liberation of the Jewish people, who are linked throughout history with all peoples in the passion for justice and human liberty. Throughout our history, the shofar has been our call to action. Today, it calls us to [all are invited to recite together] RISE UP! [shofar blast] SING OUT! [shofar blasts] FIGHT BACK! [shofar blast] As we retell this ancient story, the quintessential immigration story, let us remind ourselves of those people around the world who are living this story today, as they leave slavery behind and venture into the unknown in search of freedom seeking their own promised land. Let us celebrate our freedom and strengthen ourselves to join the fight against injustice wherever it exists. For as long as one person is oppressed, none of us are free. For it is said: Every person, in every generation, must regard themselves as having been personally freed from bondage in Mitzrayim, the Hebrew name of ancient Egypt and a metaphor for a time of enslavement. 2. In Hebrew, “Mitzrayim” means “the narrow place” — the place that squeezes the life out of a human soul and body. During our seder together, let us reflect on some of the “tight places” we find ourselves in today as Jews, as Americans, and as human beings. We must make wide the place in our hearts and our politics for those who most need justice. Let us sing, and believe, that we are all one family.

He was born from Sarah’s barren womb, which God had supernaturally touched (Gen. 18:10-11). 3. Abraham was 100 and Sarah was 90 at the birth of their son (Gen. 17:17; 21:5). B. The submissive spirit of Isaac (Gen. 22:1-11) 1. Isaac accompanied Abraham upon Mr. Moriah to become a sacrifice as commanded by God. 2. At first he was unaware that he himself would be the sacrifice. 3. He thus asked his father: “Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?” (Gen.

  • Genesis 25 We Were Introduced to Abraham at the End of Chapter 11
    Genesis 25 We were introduced to Abraham at the end of chapter 11 and began following his life from chapter 12, with God giving Abraham some incredible promises. That illustrious life comes to an end here in chapter 25. But the next stage of the fulfillment of God’s promises to Abraham begins with his son, Isaac, having twins. God predicts that the older son will serve the younger son and we see the beginnings of an animosity between the two which will take center-stage in chapter 27. TRANSLATION - 25:1-6: 1 Now Abraham did it again and he took a wife and her name was Keturah. 2 Then she gave birth for him Zimran and Jakshan and Medan and Midian and Jishbach and Shuach. 3 And Jakshan gave birth to Sheba and Dedan and the sons of Dedan were Ashurim and Letushim and Leumim. 4 Now the sons of Midian [were] Elpah and Eper and Enoch and Abida and Aledaah; all these [were] sons of Keturah. 5 Now Abraham gave all which [belonged] to him to Isaac. 6 Even to the sons of the concubines which [were] to Abraham, Abraham gave gifts and he sent them from Isaac, his son. They were still eastward to the land of the east. WORDS: “Gifts” (verse 6; 17 times) is used first here. On the verb “to send,” see at Gen. 3:22-23. ARCHAEOLOGY: Sheba is the country from which a queen came to test the wisdom of King Solomon (1 Kings 10:1-13). The “Ashurim, Letushim, and Leumim” seem to be ethnicities or people groups.

Goldenberg Abraham Melamed, The Image of the Black in Jewish Culture: A History of the Other . London and New York: Routledge Curzon, 2003. Pp. 295. A theory not uncommonly heard in and out of the academic world is that anti-Black racism originated with the ancient rabbis. The Talmud and Midrash, it is claimed, first expressed that sentiment which led eventually to the horrors of racism in western civilization. These claims are not of recent vintage. Seventy five years ago, Raoul Allier, Dean of the Faculté libre de théologie protestante of Paris, urged Christian missionaries to protest what he saw as anti- Black talmudic passages, “born in the ghetto, of the feverish and sadistic imagination of some rabbis.” 1 In this country, the claim made its first appearance about forty years ago in academic circles and was quickly repeated in works of all sorts, in history, sociology, psychology, religious studies, and theology. 2 A professor at the University of Pennsylvania not long ago summed up the view: In its “depth of anti-Blackness,” rabbinic Judaism “suggests how repugnant blacks were to the chosen people,” and how the Jews viewed Blacks “as the people devoid of ultimate worth and redeeming social human value.” 3 It wasn’t long before this assault spread beyond the university campus to the African American community.

  • Humor in Torah and Talmud
    Sat 3 July 2010 Dr Maurice M. Mizrahi Congregation Adat Reyim Lunch and Learn Humor in Torah and Talmud -Not general presentation on Jewish humor, just humor in Tanach and Talmud, and list below is far from exhaustive -Tanach mentions “laughter” 50 times (root: tz-cho-q) [excluding Yitzhaq] -Some commentators say humor is not intentional. -Maybe sometimes, but one cannot avoid the feeling it is. -Reason for humor not always clear. -Rabbah (4th cent. Talmudist) always began his lectures with a joke: Before starting to teach, Rabbah joked and pupils laughed. Afterwards he started seriously teaching halachah. (Talmud, Shabbat 30b) Humor in Tanach -Sarai can’t conceive, so she tells her husband Abram: I beg you, go in to my maid [Hagar]; perhaps I can obtain children through her. And Abram listened to the voice of Sarai. [Genesis 16:2] Hagar gets pregnant and becomes very impertinent towards her mistress Sarai. So a very angry Sarai goes to her husband Abram and tells him: This is all your fault! [Genesis 16:5 ] -God tells Sarah she will have a child: And Sarah laughed, saying: Shall I have pleasure when I am old? My husband is also old. And the Lord said to Abraham [who did not hear Sarah]: “Why did Sarah laugh, saying: Shall I bear a child, when I am old?” [Genesis 18:12-13] God does not report all that Sarah said for shalom bayit -- to keep peace in the family. Based on this, Talmud concludes it’s OK to tell white lies [Bava Metzia 87a]. Note: After Sarah dies Abraham marries Keturah and has six more sons.

    University City Church of Christ Sharing Biblical knowledge, Spiritual A Publication by and for the Members 4626 NW 8th Ave, Gainesville, FL 32605 Insights, Life and God’s Love Volume 9, Number 1 universitycitychurchofchrist.org KETURAH AND HER BAND OF 14 MEN Abraham had many mothers for his sons (and daughters?). Women were truly considered “chattel” or belongings. Their lives were full of childbirth and hard work. Early translations do not use the word “pain” but “hard work and many pregnancies”. So that is understood as a consequence! And God made women to bare this burden. Keturah enters the picture at this point. She bore six sons, Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah. Later Jokshan was the father of Sheba and Dedan, who had three sons, Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim. Then Midian had five more sons: Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abidda, and Eldaah. (I spelled out all these Jewish names so you could appreciate them!) Keturah may have been or NOT wealthy or beautiful as was Sarah, but as his wife (concubine?) she gave Abraham fourteen sons and grandchildren! Money in the bank, so to speak! Today we like to feel these “sons” were God's gifts to Abraham and the nation of Israel. All seem precious to the Clan. While Abraham still lived he gave great gifts to “these also” sons. Abraham sent them far away from HIS special Isaac. Probably so there would be less jealousy! As the Bible says God gave the rest of the herds, his lands and his many women and children to Isaac, who began his hard core of devoted and prolific descendants.

  • THE BOOK of JOB Blessed Be the Name of the Lord! Rev
    CONCORDIA SEMINARY LENTEN SERMON SERIES LENTEN SERMON SERIES THE BOOK OF JOB Blessed be the Name of the Lord! Rev. Reed Lessing 801 SEMINARY PLACE • ST.LOUIS, MO 63105 • 314-505-7000 • WWW.CSL.EDU The Book of Job: Blessed be the Name of the Lord! Newsletter Article One of the Bible’s greatest wisdom books is the book of Job. This Lent we are going to explore this magnificent composition that is numbered among some of the greatest literature of all time. Nine sermons will help us dig deeply into Job’s central message and supporting truths, while six Sunday Morning Adult Bible Classes will further address the book’s major topics and themes. We all suffer—personally and privately. We also suffer in more public ways. A husband loses a job. A child gets divorced. A parent dies. And now, thanks to the media, we are able to see and experience more and more of the world’s catastrophes and suffering. We need the book of Job, now, more than ever. Martin Luther asserted that “Job is magnificent and sublime as no book of Scripture.” Others have called Job “the Shakespeare of the Bible.” Yet the early Christian scholar Jerome perhaps put it best when he called the book of Job an “eel,” since the more one tries to contain it, the slipperier it becomes! The purpose of our Lenten emphasis is to learn how to apply Job to our lives, so that the book becomes less like an eel and more like a loving companion through life’s dark valleys.
