Vatican Sides With Israel's Enemies Again, Recognizes Palestine

This article will first show that the Vatican has no regard whatsoever for what God had to say about the borders of Israel or who the land belongs to, and it will then show that it has no regard for major Catholic theology when there is a financial price involved in sticking to that theology. With regard to the first issue, the matrix on Figure 1 has an axis term of VATICAN ROME at the very low skip of 289. The word for PHILISTINES is in the open text. Palestinians are named after them, although as discussed below, they are quite distinct from them. Between VATICAN ROME and PHILISTINES there are 7 lines of text dealing with how Esau and Jacob became enemies. Rome is descended from Esau, and it has long persecuted the Jews. As ancient Rome burned the Temple and Jerusalem to the ground, driving Jews into almost 2,000 years of exile, the Vatican in modern Rome now will recognize a terrorist-driven Palestinian State, with a Hamas charter to destroy Israel again. Esau is very much alive and well in Rome.

THE NAME "PALESTINE."  In 830 BCE there was a Philistine State in Gaza and slightly up the coast through Ashkelon and Ashdod. At the same time there were two Jewish nations, with Jerusalem the capital of Judah, and Samaria the capital of Israel. The map on the left above on Figure 2 shows that the New Assyrian Empire (Asshur in the Bible) was essentially Syria. It extended its reach down through Israel into Gaza around 612 BCE. Earlier it had even claimed Egypt as its province back in 671 to 657 BCE. This was the basis of the statement by Syrian dictator Hafez Assad to the PLO leader Yassir Arafat that, "You do not represent Palestine as much as we do. Never forget this one point: There is no such thing as a Palestinian people, there is no Palestinian entity, there is only Syria. You are an integral part of the Syrian people, Palestine is an integral part of Syria. Therefore it is we, the Syrian authorities, who are the true representatives of the Palestinian people."  This quote was not unique or any kind of fluke. The same word can mean PHILISTINE or PALESTINE. 

WHY ARE SOME ARABS CALLED PALESTINIAN NOW?  In 135 CE, after putting down the Bar Kochba revolt, the second major Jewish revolt against Rome, the Emperor Hadrian wanted to blot out the name of the Roman “Provincia Judaea” and so renamed it “Provincia Syria Palaestina.” He chose the name because it was reminiscent of the ancient enemies of the Jews – the Philistines. While the ancient Philistines were from Asia Minor and Greece and were not in any sense Arabs, the current people who largely started to go by the same name after the West Bank was captured from Jordan in 1967 are Arabs. So are the Arabs who live in the area today really Palestinians? Well, it seems like Hafez Assad was not alone among the Arabs in challenging the title. Here are a few other quotes from http://arabterrorism.tripod.com/quotes.html:

(1) "There is no such country [as Palestine]! 'Palestine' is a term the Zionists invented! There is no Palestine in the Bible. Our country was for centuries part of Syria."
- Auni Bey Abdul-Hadi, a local Arab leader, to the Peel Commission, 1937

(2) "Palestine was part of the Province of Syria... politically, the Arabs of Palestine were not independent in the sense of forming a separate political entity."

- The representative of the Arab Higher Committee to the United Nations submitted this in a statement to the General Assembly in May 1947

(3) "There are no differences between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. We are all part of one nation. It is only for political reasons that we carefully underline our Palestinian identity.... yes, the existence of a separate Palestinian identity serves only tactical purposes. The founding of a Palestinian state is a new tool in the continuing battle against Israel."

- Zuheir Muhsin, late Military Department head of the PLO and member of its Executive Council (Dutch daily Trouw, March 1977)

(4) "The Oslo accords were a Trojan Horse; the strategic goal is the liberation of Palestine from the [Jordan] river to the [Mediterranean] sea"

- Faysal Al-Husseini, Palestinian Authority Minister for Jerusalem Affairs, in his last interview, 'Al-Arabi' daily newspaper (Egypt), June 24, 2001

(5) "This is Palestine from the (Jordan) river to the Mediterranean sea, from Rosh Hanikra to Rafah (in Gaza). The gap between Palestinian expectations and the Israeli conspiracy will inevitably lead to a collision."

- "Our Position" issued by Yasser Arafat's Fatah faction of the PLO in PA newspaper AL HAYAT AL-JADEEDA, Dec. 19, 1998

Ironically, while it was the Roman Emperor Hadrian in 135 CE who wanted to blot out the name of the Roman “Provincia Judaea” and so renamed it “Provincia Syria Palaestina, it is the Vatican in Rome which now again in 2015 CE seeks to destroy Israel by creating a Palestine in areas that were clearly identified in the Old Testament as Biblical Israel, the land that God gave to the Jews.  Hadrian, of course, was not a Christian. But the modern popes, as I will demonstrate below, are not either, as they see no need to follow the guidance given about Israeli borders in their Bible.

ISRAELI BORDERS IN A CATHOLIC BIBLE. Before revealing my proof that the Vatican is not really concerned about Christian theology, let us first review the borders of Israel as given in Chapter 34 of the Book of Numbers in a Catholic Bible.

The limits of Chanaan (Canaan); with the names of the men that make the division of it.

[1] And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

[2] Command the children of Israel, and then shalt say to them: When you are entered into the land of Chanaan, and it shall be fallen into your possession by lot, it shall be bounded by these limits:
[3] The south side shall begin from the wilderness of Sin, which is by Edom: and shall have the most salt sea for its furthest limits eastward:

(The most salt sea: The lake of Sodom, otherwise called the Dead Sea.)

[4] Which limits shall go round on the south side by the ascent of the Scorpion and so into Senna, and reach toward the south as far as Cadesbarne, from whence the frontiers shall go out to the town called Adar, and shall reach as far as Asemona.

          (The Scorpion: A mountain so called from having a great number of scorpions.)

[5] And the limits shall fetch a compass from Asemona to the torrent of Egypt, and shall end in the shore of the great sea.

         (The great sea: The Mediterranean.)

[6] And the west side shall begin from the great sea, and the same shall be the end thereof.

[7] But toward the north side the borders shall begin from the great sea, reaching to the most high mountain,

(The most high mountain: Libanus.)

[8] From which they shall come to Emath, as far as the borders of Sedada:

[9] And the limits shall go as far as Zephrona, and the village of Enan. These shall be the borders on the north side.

[10] From thence they shall mark out the bounds towards the east side from the village of Enan unto Sephama.

[11] And from Sephama the bounds shall go down to Rebla over against the fountain of Daphnis: from thence they shall come eastward to the sea of Cenereth,

(Sea of Cenereth: This is the sea of Galilee, illustrated by the miracles of our Lord.)

[12] And shall reach as far as the Jordan, and at the last shall be closed in by the most salt sea. This shall be your land with its borders round about.

[13] And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying: This shall be the land which you shall possess by lot, and which the Lord hath commanded to be given to the nine tribes, and to the half tribe.

[14] For the tribe of the children of Ruben by their families, and the tribe of the children of Gad according to the number of their kindreds, and half of the tribe of Manasses,

[15] That is, two tribes and a half, have received their portion beyond the Jordan over against Jericho at the east side.

There is no mention in the above of a land assigned to either Philistines or Palestinians. But this is no concern to the descendants of Esau (Rome) who have been a threat to Jewish existence from the time of Jacob and Esau.

HAS THE VATICAN ALWAYS BEEN IN CHARGE OF CATHOLIC THEOLOGY? No. And here is where my article will vary from what anyone else on earth could write because, as is shown below, although I am Jew, I forced the Vatican to alter its theology on the issue of baptism in 1984. Actually, it is more accurate to say that I gave them a choice - pay me $6,000,000 or alter your doctrine. If the Vatican really cared about its doctrine, it should have paid me and perhaps have told me to go to hell. But I really didn't want the money. I wanted them to right a wrong and also prove that money was more important to them than theology. And so, after they had baptized my almost 7 year-old son against his will, and mine, under threat of a law suit they did something that they never did before (and I don't think they ever did it again). The annulled the baptism of my son. It made headlines around the world, and I won custody as a result of it. The full story is told in my book, A MATTER OF SPIRITUAL CUSTODY which may be read for free on this site. The letter from Archbishop McCarthy of Miami that annulled the baptism is shown on Figure 3 below. Figures 4 and 5 show news coverage by the Miami Herald, but the story was also covered in many major newspapers (including the New York Times) around the nation (and the world). While I did not give the matter consideration before starting to write this article, although most Catholics likely do believe in Christain theology, I think it is possible that some time after it sank in that the Vatican was wrong about Galileo and the sun going around the Earth, it may have shifted control of the organization to atheists. In partiular I find their statements about aliens without sin to be problematic. I will develop this idea further at the conclusion of the article.

WHAT THE PRESS WAS TOLD ABOUT WHY THEY ANNULLED MY SON'S BAPTISM VS. THE TRUTH. The news coverage made the Church sound kind. However, the reality is that they didn't give me the letter until I signed a release from liability, shown on Figure 6. Figure 7 shows the kind of proof that I used in court in Miami, before a Catholic Judge (Hickey) to link the Vatican with the Holocaust. A more complete set of articles that I used is found on this site at Vatican and Holocaust.

       What is the significance of  the article shown on Figure 7? I argued that any Church that could imply its approval to kill or persecute its own members so long as it was because of their Jewish ancestry and not because of their present faith had no right to lay its hands on my half-Jewish son.  I stressed that the Vatican had proven that it wouldn't even stand up for its own priests if they had Jewish parents or grandparents (under Nazi law anyone with one Jewish grandparent was classified as a Jew for extermination purposes). However, we know which priests the Vatican has been willing to stand up for - often by transferring them from one church or Archdiocese to another - the pedophiles - this despite all the prohibitions in their Bible (and ours) against homosexuality. See Wikipedia to get some idea of how widespread this issue is throughout the Catholic world. Part of the problem is a word that appears on Figure 6, CORPORATION. When the Church moved from being a purely religious institution to a business, it lost its way. The Catholic Church is not  unique in facing this problem. I see shades of it in Judaism too, especially with the Chabad movement although there is nothing like the child abuse that is seen with Catholicism. Orthodox Judaism largely steers clear of massive homosexuality in our clergy by requiring our rabbis to be married. The young son that I have discussed above did, in fact, grow up to be an Orthodox rabbi. His yeshiva (rabbinical school) required that he be married before turning 23, and he fulfilled their request. He has been very fruitful, as our Torah commanded, and he has a large family. I am not saying that I am totally satisfied with what he learned (or did not learn) in his yeshiva, but at least he isn't a disgrace to our faith, and I am proud that he has served our nation well while in the military.

DECLINING RELIGIOUS BELIEF AND VIEWS OF ISRAEL. On May 12, 2015 the Pew Research Center published AMERICA'S CHANGING RELIGIOUS LANDSCAPE.  The study notes that between 2007 and 2014 the percent of Americans who identify themselves as atheists rose from 1.6% to 3.1%, In the same period the number of Americans who saw themselves as Christians declined from 78.4% to 70.6%, with Protestants declining from 51.3% to 46.5% and Catholics from 23.9% to 20.8%. Overall the number of Americans who saw themselves as unaffiliated rose from 16.1% to 22.8%. Clearly many Americans are struggling with their faiths, especially the young. For Catholics there is a question of which priests can be trusted. But anytime that basic beliefs are called into question by the leaders of a faith, the number of its followers is bound to fall. The Pew study shows that among Evangelical Protestants there was only a 0.9% decline in believers compared to the 3.1% fall in number of Catholics. In general, Evangelical Christians are strong supporters of the Bible and of Israel. A Pew study in 2015 showed that 60% of Evangelical Christians sympathize with Israel a lot, while only 9% felt that way about Palestinians. Clearly, the Protestant Church in America is friendlier to Israel than the Vatican is, and it is thus closer to the Bible.

       Another Pew poll in 2014 found that while 82% of white Evangelical Christians say God gave Israel to the Jew, only 40% of American Jews agree!  However, most American "Jews" are, in my opinion, heretics. Their low belief rate is linked to the fact that the Reform and Conservative movements have basically devolved from religions into social organizations. Yes, I was Conservative when I fought the custody battle for my older son, but the entire family became Orthodox after our miraculous win. I do not think that any version of Judaism other than Orthodox Judaism is really Judaism.  And what do Othodox Jews think about God giving Israel to the Jews? A whopping 84% agree. When you see a majority of American Jews vote Democratic, you are largely seeing the Jews who have no faith in God. The Orthodox generally vote Republican these days.

OLD SOURCES OF HATRED. The Protestant Church started with a very anti-Semitic Martin Luther. In 1543 Luther wrote a 65,000 word treatise entitled, ON THE JEWS AND THEIR LIES. In it he denounced Jews and urged their persecution.^[1] He argues that their synagogues and schools be set on fire, their prayer books destroyed, rabbis forbidden to preach, homes razed, and property and money confiscated. They should be shown no mercy or kindness,^[2] afforded no legal protection,^[3] and these "poisonous envenomed worms" should be drafted into forced labor or expelled for all time.^[4] He also wrote "[w]e are at fault in not slaying them".^[5]

       There is an interesting Rollins College Masters Theses by Daphne M. Olsen entitled Luther and Hitler: A Linear Connection Between Martin Luther and Adolf Hitler's Anti-Semitism with a Nationalistic Foundation that states on page 42, "Some people in Hitler's time went so far as to believe that Hitler was the reincarnation of Luther." There were discussions in Germany about removing the Old Testament from the Bible, thus making it easier to say that there never was a Jewish people. But in America, today, as noted above, the Protestants are fairly loyal to their Bibles and Israel, even if it's only because they want to see the Jews eventually convert to Christianity. As JewishAnswers.Org states, it is not only Rome that is believed to be descended from Esau, but Germany too. Some would go on to include America, who did little to help Jews escape from Germany before World War II (see matrices for Is America Babyon and Obama its King?). So why all the hatred? Much of the world is tribal, and tribal hatreds have a way of going back a very long time. The Middle East today is full of tribal warfare. But for some unknown reason, God set up the Jewish people for hatred from the beginning. When Abraham tossed out Hagar and Ishmael, choosing at God's instructions to make Isaac and the Jews Chosen, that set up a reason for Arabs to hate Jews. But with Isaac's wife Rebecca we find that when she complains about the pain of her pregancy she is told in Genesis 25:23 that:

 “Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples from within you shall be divided; the one shall be stronger than the other, the older shall serve the younger.”

       From Jacob, born second, would come the Jews, but from firstborn Esau would eventually come Rome (and Germany).

       After the Israelites left Egypt, the Edomites opposed them when they attempted to enter the Promised Land (Num. 20:14-21; Judges 11:17). Consequently, the Israelites went around them on the east side of the Jordan through the wilderness (Num. 21:4; Judges 11:18). Yet God told the Israelites to be kind to the Edomites (Deut. 23:7-8) because they were related and God had promised to give them land. After the Israelites entered Canaan, warfare occurred with the Edomites and they were subdued (1 Sam. 14:47-48; 2 Sam. 8:13-14). King David's victory in 2 Sam. 8:13-14 achieved control over Edom during his reign. During King Solomon's reign the Edomites rebelled (1 Kings 11:14-22) but were subjugated again. The Edomites were under the control of King Jehosphat according to 1 Kings 22:47-50. The Edomites were defeated again by King Amaziah (2 Chron. 25:11-12). The book of Obadiah pronounces judgment on Edom for all of their treacheries. Malachi 1:2-5 clearly indicates the same message. Some day they would be defeated and cease to exist as a nation, but eventually their descendants became Rome, and Rome harbored that ancient hatred enough for Emperor Hadrian to rename Judea for another ancient enemy of Israel - the Philistines.

THE STATISTICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF FIGURE 1 As per my standard protocol, no statistical significance is assigned to the axis term, here VATICAN ROME at its lowest skip in unwrapped Torah. With respect to spelling of the axis term, VATICAN is both the standard spelling in Hebrew, and a transliteration of the English word Vatican. This is common for words that didn't exist when the Torah was written. However there is an issue here with respect to ROME. Here again we see a transliteration of the word Rome. But Rome (which did not yet exist when the Torah was written) is pronounced Roma is both Italian and Hebrew. So what we have here is an ELS train of two words that are pronounced as they are in English. Is there an ELS train that can be read as VATICAN ROMA? Yes, but unlike the standard Hebrew spelling of Roma that ends with a letter alef, it ends with a letter hey. The phrase occurs at skip -36,076 in unwrapped Torah (1 computer pass through the 304,805 letters of Torah). Of note, while it takes 405 letters to pair VATICAN ROME with Philistines it only takes 243 letters to pair Vatican Roma with Philistines in the open text. If we used wrapped Torah there are three more occurrences of Vatican Roma (at skips 12,330; -48,595 and 116,898) with the phrase ending with a letter hey, but still none with an alef as the final letter.

        With respect to Esau, his name is mentioned 82 times in the open text of Torah. Two of them are on Figure 1. The odds against finding one open text mention of his name on the 459-letter matrix were about 8.6 to 1. No extra statistical significance is assigned to the phrase YOU SHALL SERVE YOUR BROTHER because I was only looking for Esau and this phrase about him was only found a posteriori. However, these words, uttered by Isaac to Esau after Jacob defrauded his blind father in order to get a blessing that Isaac intended to give Esau, served as reason for Esau's to plan to kill Jacob. It's why Rebecca sent Jacob far away (for 20 years it turned out) - Genesis 31:38. When Jacob did return home, Esau went out to meet him with an army of 400 men, ready to kill him. Jacob sent gifts ahead to pacify his brother. But neither brother ever saw each other again, despite Jacob's promise to visit his brother. Had I extended the Figure 1 matrix 13 lines under VATICAN ROME, the confrontation with Esau would appear, but I just wanted to show him once. Overall, the matrix appeared against odds of about 578 to 1.

THE FATE OF ESAU (ROME). When comparing Jacob and his descendants with Esau and his descendants, it can't be said that the first is pure perfection while the second is pure evil. The first sin of Esau was selling his birthright to Jacob for a bowl of soup. In doing so he showed disrespect to their father, but of course by most normal standards Jacob should have fed his brother without making such a demand. The second problem with Jacob is really hard to accept every year when we read it in Torah. How could Jacob (at his mother's insistance) defraud his blind father by impersonating Esau? Supposedly Rebecca was able to see into the future and predict that Esau's descendants would be murderers, but her plan to deceive her husband actually served as reason to have Esau's descendants really hate Jews. The truth is that Torah is not a politically altered document. It records the sins of the forefathers, plain and simple. I can't approve of what Jacob did, although he certainly sent Esau great compensation for what was done. However, whatever the reason was for Jacob's actions, history would record how cruel the Roman Empire would be, and likewise the Vatican during the Crusades, the Inqusition, almost 2,000 years of persecution of Jews, the alliance of Italy with Germany during the Holocaust, and the new attempt by the Vatican to destroy Israel. Jeremiah 49:17-21 warned of destruction of Edom. Obadiah 1:8 also predicted destruction of the wise men of Edom. Those prophecies are in the Tenach (Old Testament) but likely apply to the ancient nation of Edom, which did in fact disappear from the map.

        The Book of Revelation (like all the New Testament) is not accepted by the Jewish religion. But at times, as with Balaam, we see that non-Jewish prophets may be given a glimpse of the future. While Balaam failed to curse the Jews and went on to foresee the Messiah, he did tell King Balak how to bring a plague upon the Israelites by sending prostitutes to them who would get them to eat unclean food offered to idols. This resulted in the death of 24,000 Jews. 

        The Book of Revelation discusses destruction of the Mother of Harlots which sits on seven hills. All Christian commentaries point to Rome. But while Protestants point to the Vatican, the Vatican claims the prophecy is about the Rome of Nero's time. However, the prediction says that nobody would be able to buy or sell wares there again (Revelation 18:11), so clearly the Vatican's interpretation is wrong. Business resumed after the fire in Rome when Nero ruled the city. However, now we have ISIS (the Islamic State) trying to acquire nuclear weapons (this was being discussed on Al-Jazeera as I first wrote this sentence on May 17, 2015). And ISIS has announced a target for destruction - Rome. I will not make a prediction based on anything in the New Testament, but while the normal targets mentioned for Islamic terrorism are Israel and the U.S., Rome is a far easier target for ISIS to hit, even if just with a dirty bomb. For just has Edom hates the Jews, much of Islam hates the Vatican and what it did to them during the Crusades. Neither Italy nor Rome has nuclear weapons to strike back, but Israel has up to 200 of them. As such, Rome has more to fear from ISIS than Israel does.

WHO ARE THE LEGITIMATE CATHOLICS? The same question could be asked of my own people, Who Are the Legitimate Jews? If you see ISIS beheading Catholics who refuse to convert to Islam, you may be sure that they died as legitimate Catholics. When Catholics were burning Jews alive during the Inquisition, they too offered us the opportunity to save our lives by converting. The Jews who elected to burn were certainly legitimate Jews. There are, of course, lesser standards. It is possible to be born a Jew (assuming that the child's mother was Jewish in accordance with Jewish law), but have a Jew who never follows Torah, or who doesn't even belioeve in God. Sadly, there are a lot of Jews like that in America. And it's possible to be born and baptized as a Catholic, although those baptisms meant far more before the Church annulled my son's baptism. Even so, the Catholic Church would argue that babies baptized Catholic remain Catholic.  The real issue that I am making here is not about what applies to the common people of the world. I am talking about the leaders of the world, and in particular about the leaders of the Catholic Church.  Here it worth reviewing what a Catholic web site has to say about Catholic Baptism. Andres Ortiz, “A Guide to Catholic Baptism,” © 2001-2014, states the following about Catholic Baptism:

• Baptism is the first of seven sacraments and the way in which a person becomes a member of the Catholic Church.
  

• Catholic Baptism does five things specifically.

• It forgives all sins that may have been committed prior to a person’s baptism including original sin, mortal sins, and venial sins, and it relieves the punishment for those sins.
• It makes the newly baptized person “a new creature.”
• It turns the person into a newly adopted son of God and a member of Christ. Baptism incorporates one into the Church which is the body of Christ.
• It brings someone into the flock of the faithful and brings them to share in the royal priesthood of Christ (1 Pet. 2:9-10). Catholic baptism gives a share in the common priesthood of all believers and it also brings about the sacramental bond of the unity of Christians. Paragraph 1271 of the Catechism says it best:

• Baptism constitutes the foundation of communion among all Christians, including those who are not yet in full communion with the Catholic Church: “For men who believe in Christ and have been properly baptized are put in some, though imperfect, communion with the Catholic Church. Justified by faith in Baptism, [they] are incorporated into Christ; they therefore have a right to be called Christians, and with good reason are accepted as brothers by the children of the Catholic Church. Baptism therefore constitutes the sacramental bond of unity existing among all who through it are reborn.”

• Last, but certainly not in the least, baptism leaves and indelible spiritual mark (character) of belonging to Christ on the soul. Nothing you can do will take away this mark even if you sin a million times. Those sins may not grant you salvation, but you will always carry the mark of a Christian on your soul, therefore making re-baptism impossible.

The annulment of my son's baptism occurred in 1984. On May 4, 1999 while I was on the way from Miami, Florida to give a Torah Codes presentation in Jerusalem and then go on an expedition in Egypt, I stopped at Rome to meet with a Vatican official to discuss what I was finding in the Torah Code about the location of the Ark of the Covenant. The actual meeting took place with a Jesuit priest, father Robert O'Toole at Gregorian University in Rome. Before showing him my Codes findings I asked him to thank Pope John Paul II for annulling my son's baptism, and allowing him to be a Jew. O'Toole clearly did not believe that an annulment was possible (at least until I showed him the annulment letter). His beliefs were directly in line with what Andres Ortiz wrote above. But the Pope did not feel bound by Catholic doctrine, and so the Archdiocese of Miami was forced to spin the story as was shown in the Miami Herald (see Figures 4 to 5 above), without mention of the Release from Liability.

RETURNING TO THE ALIEN ISSUE. Earlier in this article I wrote that I think it's possible that some time after the Vatican learned how wrong it was about Galileo and the sun going around the Earth, it may have shifted control of the organization to atheists. In partiular I find statements by the Vatican's Observatory Director (father Jose Gabriel Funes) about aliens without sin to be problematic. I think it's important to understand what's going on with respect to possible alien contact (and alleged abductions and abuse by aliens) in order to understand why the Vatican is often on the wrong and even criminal side of moral issues. For starters, if the Vatican is aware of alien life visiting Earth, or having interfered with religious experiences, that would tend to make it much easier to do what they have in fact done - negate the God-given claim of Jews to have the Land of Israel. It would also make it easier for them to allow homosexual priests to get away with child abuse. As the saying goes, If God does not exist, everything is permitted. So, if the top officials at the Vatican have been convinced by aliens that God does not exist, that would in fact explain much, if not all of their behavior. However the Torah has simple advice on this issue in Genesis 35:2 and in Deuteronomy 17:15. Rid thyself of thy alien gods; and Do not set up an alien man over you.

    Of course there will be those who say that I have not proven that aliens exist or that if they do they have influenced Vatican thinking. If I could prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that aliens exist it seems likely that the Government (and/or the Vatican) would kill me. However, as you may have noticed by now, I have an unusual family and my life has been far from boring. You can read about the proof that I was shown about aliens in an article about who in my family may have been involved with back-engineering the Roswell UFO, and who in the U.S. and Russia he worked with in doing so. See Roffman UFO Disclosure.

       Finally whether Rome hates Jews because of theology or the Esau-Jacob rift, one thing is essential for Israel. It must never depend on anyone descended from Edom, be it the U.S., Germany (which now sells it so many weapons) or Rome to survive. I think that Netanyahu knows this and Israel is in good hands. While Rome has been threatened by ISIS, there seems to be a growing alliance between Sunni Arabs in Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries with Israel.  Parts of the New Edom are questionable, but it is not impossible that the sons of Ishmael and Isaac will reconcile (at least while they face a common threat in Iran).
