The God Culture: Prince Mastema

Despite all the things I have written against Timothy Jay Schwab of the The God Culture I do try to give him the benefit of the doubt. I am always disappointed. It really is a mystery why anyone could fall for anything that man says but fall they do. In this article I want to cover Tim's 51st and penultimate video in his Answers in Jubilees series. The topic is Prince Mastema.

Is Prince Mastema Satan? Who Was The Angel of Death In Egypt? Answers In Jubilees 51

It is the second question that concerns us here. Who was the angel of death in Egypt? Specifically what happened to Moses at the inn when someone sought to kill him and who was causing Pharaoh to be so "pigheaded and stubborn." Let's listen to Tim.

26:42 Then we see Mastema in the story of Moses and his role there is a big one overlooked by most. Many ask the question why Pharaoh would be so pigheaded and stubborn. How, how could he be so dumb to go through all those plagues and have to go through all of that and even in the end after even having his own firstborn and the firstborn of much of Egypt die still he then goes after, Egypt again sending his troops to their doom in the sea which collapses on them? How can he be so dumb? Ah! This explains it. Genesis doesn't because it doesn't need to. Moses wrote these together. They are to be read together for full understanding and we get that when we read Jubilees.

Let's go to chapter 48  starting in verse 2.  "And thou thyself knowest what he spake unto thee on Mount Sinai." This is Yahuah talking to Moses. "And what Prince Mastema," there we go again, Satan, "desired to do with thee when thou wast returning into Egypt on the way when thou dost meet him at the lodging place." This is, this is pay attention. This story, okay. This isn't in Genesis. It's not there um and uh we're going to talk about the book of Jasher for a second on this. Verse three, "did he not with all his power seek to slay thee?" Mastema, Satan, wanted to kill Moses. Got that? Satan wanted to kill Moses. Satan. Got that? "And deliver the Egyptians out of thy hand when he saw that thou was sent to execute judgment and  vengeance on the Egyptians," who were serving Satan, right? I mean they practiced the occult that is a well-known, um, you know he was their god you could say, one of their gods but it's his infrastructure  that account for all of his gods really. 

So, now, here we go again. The occult fabrication in the modern book of Jasher which we prove is a fraud and we covered this point there but I'm going to bring it back up. This is another occult lie where it gets it backwards. Rather than Satan opposing Moses notice the difference here, uh, on his way back to Egypt, no, modern Jasher claims that an angel of Yahuah sent at Yahuah's command comes to kill Moses! What! Didn't Yahuah just send him out on a mission so he could kill him? That's stupid, right? 

Okay so but, but, why? Because he failed to circumcise his first son. Where do we see that doctrine circumcision is salvation? No, never not in scripture ever. Where is circumcision salvation? Ah! Paul talks about it.  Paul says that the Pharisees, or I guess maybe it's Luke in Acts but anyway, the Pharisees were going around telling people that. Okay, so now that you're saved you have to get circumcised because you're not really saved unless you get circumcised. That's Pharisee doctrine. That Pharisee doctrine is right there in the modern book of Jasher essentially. This is ridiculous. Talk about backwards trash. That book is toast  already but just wanted to mention that one since we're on the account in Jubilees. There you go.

What Tim is saying here is the one verse in Jubilees which mentions Prince Mastema, Satan, meeting Moses at a lodge to kill him is true while the full account given in Jasher is not. In that account an angel of God is said to have met Moses to kill him because he had not circumcised his son. Tim calls that stupid. He comments on this story at length in his video The Jasher Hoax. 76-100 Reasons Modern Jasher Is NOT Scripture! Answers In Jubilees 49D.

The Jasher Hoax. 76-100 Reasons Modern Jasher Is NOT Scripture! Answers In Jubilees 49D

54:04 Chapter 79, lie number 97. Oh, almost. On his way to Egypt after the burning bush calling an angel then oddly comes down to kill Moses!. Yeah, you heard that right. That's what Jasher says. Well, because why? Well, because he did not circumcise his first son. Is that how Yahuah operates? Does he kill everyone who doesn't circumcise their firstborn? This is stupid! This is, this just so stupid and unbiblical. Eventually the angel was from Yahuah but missed the memo that Moses had a calling of course. Moses was going there because well Yahuah told him to go but I guess the angel well maybe operated on his own. This is a lie. But no worries! His wife took a sharp rock and fixed that right away. This is stupid

Then Aaron who is a slave somehow was freed, uh, to leave Egypt meeting Moses in the wilderness. In fact not just in the wilderness but all the way to Saudi Arabia on Mount Sinai, really. Cause slaves are just free to come and go whenever they want. Moses had already left and was on the way to Egypt in fact. So, what? He wasn't even at Sinai. It's inconsistent and stupid.

According to Tim not only is the story of God wanting to kill Moses because his son was uncircumcised stupid and unbiblical but so is the story that Aaron met Moses at Mount Sinai. Here is the passage from Jasher 79:

8 And Moses rose up to go to Egypt, and he took his wife and sons with him, and he was at an inn in the road, and an angel of God came down, and sought an occasion against him.

9 And he wished to kill him on account of his first born son, because he had not circumcised him, and had transgressed the covenant which the Lord had made with Abraham.

10 For Moses had hearkened to the words of his father-in-law which he had spoken to him, not to circumcise his first born son, therefore he circumcised him not.

11 And Zipporah saw the angel of the Lord seeking an occasion against Moses, and she knew that this thing was owing to his not having circumcised her son Gershom.

12 And Zipporah hastened and took of the sharp rock stones that were there, and she circumcised her son, and delivered her husband and her son from the hand of the angel of the Lord.

13 And Aaron the son of Amram, the brother of Moses, was in Egypt walking at the river side on that day.

14 And the Lord appeared to him in that place, and he said to him, Go now toward Moses in the wilderness, and he went and met him in the mountain of God, and he kissed him.

https://www.sacred-texts.com/chr/apo/jasher/79.htm

Is Tim unaware that this passage is essentially ripped out of the Bible from Exodus 4? 

24 And it came to pass by the way in the inn, that the Lord met him, and sought to kill him. 

25 Then Zipporah took a sharp stone, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet, and said, Surely a bloody husband art thou to me. 

26 So he let him go: then she said, A bloody husband thou art, because of the circumcision. 

27 And the Lord said to Aaron, Go into the wilderness to meet Moses. And he went, and met him in the mount of God, and kissed him.

It is the same exact story with one major difference. God himself and not an angel was the one who sought to kill Moses because his son was uncircumcised. The word translated Lord in verse 24 is Yehova!

https://www.blueletterbible.org/lexicon/h3068/kjv/wlc/0-1/

In the Septuagint, which predates the Masoretic text, the one who seeks to kill Moses is the Angel of the Lord. This is also what is written in the various Targums. What is never said in any telling of this story is that Satan tried to kill Moses because he wanted to save the Egyptians from the vengeance Moses was about to wreck on them.

Did he not desire to kill you with all of his might and save the Egyptians from your hand because he saw that you were sent to execute judgment and vengeance upon the Egyptians?

That scenario is inserted in the text because the author needed a way to solve the problem of why God would want to kill Moses after he had sent him on a mission.

By shortening the story as he does, the author of Jubilees makes only one reference to an evil being, who is also a destroyer, and does not have to deal with the awkward facts that Moses had not circumcised his son and that his foreign wife saved the day (and Moses) by performing the task herself. The angel gives Moses only a brief reminder of the whole embarrassing situation and transforms the event into an attack by Mastema, who wants to stop Moses from carrying out his divine commission.

Segal explains how the rewriting of the passage in Jubilees responds to one exegetical and two theological questions raised by Exod 4:24-26. The exegetical issue is: why would God want to kill Moses after having just commanded (see Exod 4:19) him to return to Egypt? The answer of Jubilees is that it was not God who wanted Moses dead but rather Mastema. The first theological problem is whether God is unjust in the Exodus passage since he wanted to kill someone (and Moses at that) without an explicit motive. The answer in Jubilees is that the theodicy question is irrelevant because God was not the one desiring to kill Moses without a reason. And the second theological problem is: if God wanted to kill Moses how could he not succeed? Is God not omnipotent? The reply is, of course, that God was not the one who failed 

Jubilees: A Commentary, James Vanderkam, pg. 1152

I find it hard to believe that Timothy Jay Schwab would not know the story of God seeking to kill Moses in Exodus 4 with Moses meeting Aaron ant Mount Sinai directly afterwards. Along with the command to sacrifice Isaac it is one of the most famous theological problems in all of scripture. Why would God want to kill Moses after he had just given him a commission? Jubilees renders the question moot by telling us a totally different story with Satan being the antagonist. Tim deceitfully leaves out the fact that what is recorded in Jasher 79 is ripped from Exodus 4. If he really wanted to give us Answers in Jubilees and vet the text as Torah written by Moses he would not have glossed over this very important contradiction. 

In the comments though Tim does take notice of this passage in Exodus 4.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V54mWhuiH0w&lc=UgwvjOotDuuoqhsMJSB4AaABAg

mbeatg : Hello, can you address Exodus 4:24. I heard you address Jasher. Based on Jubilees, would you consider this more “ Leaven”

The God Culture : It does not fit indeed. Yah Bless.

Tim's solution is to claim that the text is corrupt. But that does not solve anything. The story is recorded in the Septuagint as well as the Targums. It has precedent and tradition. Jubilees, standing alone, lacks both. 

The next question to consider here is why was Pharaoh so stubborn to go after the Israelites even after the destruction caused by the ten plagues. Tim answers, along with Jubilees, that Prince Mastema was egging him on. Prince Mastema, Satan, also killed all the firstborn of Egypt in the tenth and final plague.

Is Prince Mastema Satan? Who Was The Angel of Death In Egypt? Answers In Jubilees 51

32:00 Verse 12, "and notwithstanding all these signs and wonders the prince of the Mastema," their Satan, again, "was not to put to shame." So, he was still emboldened even though all of these plagues happened all these signs and wonders and he was the power behind Pharaoh and his stiff-necked rebellion. He's the one that was really pushing this. Imagine a lot of people out there say, "oh, you know Satan's been whispering in my ear." No, no, no, he's not. He's only one. He's only one dude, right? He's one. He's not everywhere. He's not whispering everybody's ear every second. Now a demon can be but Satan himself is not. It's just so, you know, anyway, uh, they give him far too much power. They make him omnipotent as if he is Yahuah. He is not. Now, you'll see this next though. 

"Because he took courage and cried to the Egyptians to pursue after them with all the powers of the Egyptians." The same thing that did that, that's why the turning of the tide with Pharaoh. Pharaoh had given in and, oh no he changed his mind. Well, Satan is behind that. But why did Pharaoh at first not pursue Israel? Why would he let them go only then to pursue them? I mean that would be a waste of time and resources and doesn't make sense, does it? Well, it seems to make no sense until we restore Jubilees which explains why and how this happened once again clarifying Torah. 

Verse 15, "And on the 14th day," get this and on the 15th day and on the 16th and the on the 17th  and on the 18th." What do we have here one, two, three, four, five days. So for five days the Prince of Mastema was bound. Ah! That's the key. "And imprisoned behind the children of Israel that he might not accuse them." Well, that's what Satan does, okay? Now, see Israel was given a reprieve in which Pharaoh could finally give in and let them go and the Egyptians would even give them gold and possessions for their journey in I guess you could say reparations of sort. Uh, Satan was bound and could not operate and they acted like people again that made sense. 

For about five days, it essentially is when you add all that up, so, but then verse 16,  "and on the 19th we let them loose that they might help the Egyptians and pursue the  children of Israel." Yahuah is setting them up though. "And he hardened their hearts." Satan did and made them stubborn now. That including Pharaoh, of course, being the leader and number one of king of stubborn. Really Satan was behind this. Physically there the entire time. He is not in your life as such. He's not that powerful. He's not omnipotent like Yahuah. Remember that always. Never give him that kind of power. He doesn't have it. "And the device was devised by Yahuah our Elohim that he might smite the Egyptians." So, he was setting them up the whole time. "And cast them into  the sea." He was going to wipe them out now so this was Yahuah's plan all along and Satan fell into  his trap. There you go. However that was not his only role and this, wow, this is very interesting.

Jubilees 49 verse 2 "For on this night the beginning of the festival in the beginning of the joy ye were eating the passover in Egypt." We know that story. "When all the powers of Mastema had been let loose to slay all the first born in the land of Egypt." Now, remember the powers of Mastema are who? Demons. Okay, uh, there's only one angel in that hierarchy and that is Satan himself. So the angel of death is Satan. Okay? But this will clarify. "From the firstborn of Pharaoh to the firstborn of the captive maidservant in the mill and to the cattle." Realize Satan is a powerful angel. He cannot hurt you or I directly because he is restrained by the restrainer. According to scripture that's the archangel Michael. No, it's not the Holy Spirit that's not his role. Michael does that. However all  of Satan's powers were let loose only to slay those firstborns they were still limited. Those who did not have blood on their doorposts. Some of Egypt of course was spared. He was still restrained but he slayed all the firstborn in one night as the angel of death.  No, that was not Yahuah which we cover in this series as well. It was satan the angel of death.

These claims can be refuted with many verses in Exodus. I will use only two.

Exodus 14:8 And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued after the children of Israel: and the children of Israel went out with an high hand.

Exodus 12:29 And it came to pass, that at midnight the Lord smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle.

The word translated LORD is the same as noted above, Yehova! (It is NEVER Yahuah) It is God who smote the firstborn and it is God who hardened the heart of Pharaoh. Why? God tells us why:

13 And the Lord said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me. 

14 For I will at this time send all my plagues upon thine heart, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people; that thou mayest know that there is none like me in all the earth.  

15 For now I will stretch out my hand, that I may smite thee and thy people with pestilence; and thou shalt be cut off from the earth.

16 And in very deed for this cause have I raised thee up, for to shew in thee my power; and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth.

He did it to show his power and that his name may be declared throughout all the earth. Paul quotes this passage in Romans 9:17 when he is discoursing on the absolute sovereignty of God when it comes to salvation. Why do some not believe? Because they have been hardened by God to not believe just as God hardened Pharaoh's heart so he could destroy him and show his power. Romans 9 is a chapter many try to explain away because it is so terrible to learn that God is in control and not us. We do not choose Him, He chooses us. This is one reason among many that Tim's soteriology is all wrong. Salvation is not a relationship as evidenced by keeping the law. Salvation is being united to Christ and made one with Him. That is only accomplished through His power and not by anything we do.

It is this fact of God's absolute sovereignty that is being assailed both by Timothy Jay Schwab and the author of Jubilees. They cannot imagine God would kill people or harden mens hearts or cause planes to slam into buildings or bring about a war or cause the world to panic over a virus that has a 99% survival rate. It's too awful. Yes, it is awful in the sense that we should be full of awe at the works of God because 

Daniel 4:35 And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?

It is God who has the power of death, not Satan.

Deut 32:39 See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.

Rev 1:18  I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.

There is not much else to say. Jubilees does not add clarity to these events in Exodus. Rather, the author of Jubilees, who is not Moses by any stretch of the imagination, attributes the acts of God to Satan. He detracts from God's glory. God says he destroyed Pharaoh to get glory and the author of Jubilees says no that's too awful it must have been Satan who did these things. And what sense does it make for Mastema, or his demons, to kill the firstborn of Egypt when we are told that he tried to kill Moses to save the Egyptians from that very vengeance? It does not make any sense. But Tim isn't about to admit that glaring contradiction is real and invalidates the Book of Jubilees as Torah written by Moses.

The God Culture: Timothy Jay Schwab Says Jesus Christ Will Return in 2127

Has Timothy Jay Schwab of the God Culture not learned anything from the fiasco of Harold Camping or other men who would dare set a date of any kind for the return of Jesus Christ? No, he has not. 

For the past few weeks Tim has been giving his interpretation of the prophecies in in the book of 2nd Esdras. He has been delineating what certain symbols mean and which animal is which wicked empire or nation. It's all bunkum. 2nd Esdras is not scripture. It is a book written after the fall of the Jerusalem in 70 AD. Based on that book and the prophecies in Daniel, Tim has deduced a specific year for the return of Jesus Christ. It's 2127.

DANIEL'S 2300 DAYS. Count To The End? Part 2. Answers In 2nd Esdras 11

51:41 So, 2120 for the tribulation start and 2127 for Messiah's return. These are ballparks. We're not saying exacts, we're not saying it's exactly and we don't know. Look, this isn't trigonometry or calculus we could be off a decade, we could be off a year, we could be off certain months, we could be not considering something. We're not saying any of that, all right? This isn't an exact science. We don't care for it to be because we don't get to know the day or the hour. But here's what we do know. We know it's time to prepare. We know when the season is and we have about a century folks.

"Approximate only." LOL!! He even has the gall to write in the description of this video:

However, this is not intended to set a date nor are we prophets. This is research and it leads to an era we can know with certainty. It is time to know.

Despite all the precise and minute calculations Tim makes this video is not intended to set an exact date for the return of Jesus Christ. Yet, here we have an exact date of 2127. Oh, excuse me, an exact YEAR. Because, as Tim admits, "we don't get to know the day or hour." What's the difference between prognosticating dates and years when it comes to calculating the return of Jesus? Not much. The principle remains the same. 

Retired NASA engineer Edgar C. Whisenant thought the rapture would occur in 1988. What he had to say about predicting the return of Jesus Christ is rather similar to what Timothy says.

https://www.scribd.com/doc/14080011/88-Reasons-Why-The-Rapture-Will-Be-in-1988

It is evident that in the minds of most Christians today, Matt. 24:36 is believed to prohibit anyone from being able to see the day of our Lord's return approaching. Matt. 24:36 states that “No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.” In looking at this statement, you can easily see that it is impossible to know the exact day and hour of the Lord Jesus' return. 

If Jesus arrived at one particular instant of time, there are 24 times zones around the world, and each time zone has multitude of Christians in it. How are you going to identify that particular instant in each time zone on earth? Also, there are always two days existing on earth at the same time; only at the exact second that the earth passes through the international date line does only one day exist on all the earth. All other times, there are two days existing on earth at any one moment; one day is coming and the other day is going. So you can see the problem in trying to tell all the Christians covering the earth at any one instant of time the exact day or hour of our Lord's return. 

However, this does not preclude or prevent the faithful from knowing the year, the month, and the week of the Lord's return. 

Like Tim, Edgar Whisenant says we cannot "know the exact day and hour of the Lord Jesus' return." However, we can know the year. So. he gave 1988 for his prediction of when the rapture would occur. Likewise, Tim denies we can know the exact day but he thinks we can know the year so he gives 2127 as the date when Jesus returns. It's quite pointless for Tim to deny the exactitude of his forecast when he has spent almost 12 hours, really much more than that because all his videos tie into this calculation, scrupulously and in detail going over what he considers to be the prophetic timeline. What sense does it make to meticulously reconcile the calendars, do all the math, give a precise year, and then say "I don't know," "this is not exact," and "I don't care for it to be exact?" It is insulting to the intelligence of his audience to say he does not care if his "research" is exact.

It is also an extreme display of cowardice for Tim to give a precise year for the Second Coming and then backtrack by saying it's only approximate. Could it be his conscience working on him that causes him waffle so? Truly it has been said "conscience does make cowards of us all."  If Jesus Christ does not return in 2127 then all of Tim's work is for nothing. 

Every date setter, every year setter, every man who has looked into the scriptures to scry and calculate the time of Christ's return has been shown to be a fool. Funny that Tim sets the date 106 years into the future and says it "approximate only." What a wide window of deniability for him to say he didn't mean for his date setting to be accurate if it does not come to pass. He will be dead by then anyway and won't have to face any criticism or backlash.

Let me show you just how inept Tim is at making "approximate only" calculations. In the Gospel of Luke we are told that Jesus began His ministry at ABOUT the age of thirty. 

Luke 3:23 And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, 

According to Tim's calculations Jesus was born in 9 BC which means he was 36 when he began to minister and 39 when he was crucified.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpYFD-7BuuM&lc=UgzpQlGWQHZkDNx48Xd4AaABAg

benyamin ben qohelet If he died in 31 ad and he was born in 10 BC that would make him 41 years old he died at thirty-three so you have a logical fallacy

The God Culture Third, you do not count the year 0 AD/BC in counting. It goes from 1 BC to 1 AD which we also cover so you obviously comment without really watching. So your number with the wrong starting year is 40 years not 41 and if you start from the actual year we prove, 9 BC not 10 BC, that makes him 39 at death and resurrection and 36 when he started his first year. That matches Luke's ballpark of "ABOUT 30" when He started His ministry. Luke never says He was 30 and would have known the age as He knew the birth year. So why does he use that ballpark? About 30 is the time Levitical priest enters the ministry and he is clearly making reference to this not giving an exact date as he does other times.

As ever, Tim's comments are entirely wrong. The age a Levite entered the priesthood was not ABOUT 30 but exactly at the age of 30.

Numbest 4:3 From thirty years old and upward even until fifty years old, all that enter into the host, to do the work in the tabernacle of the congregation.

30 From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old shalt thou number them, every one that entereth into the service, to do the work of the tabernacle of the congregation

39 From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, every one that entereth into the service, for the work in the tabernacle of the congregation,

There is nothing in those verses concerting approximation. The scripture is clear that Levite priests served from 30 years old to 50 years old. Likewise 36 is not about 30. 36 is closer to 40. Does Tim not know about rounding up? Did he not take elementary math when he was in 1st grade?? 

https://www.factmonster.com/math-science/mathematics/rounding-numbers-rules-examples-for-fractions-sums

Here's the general rule for rounding:

• If the number you are rounding is followed by 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9, round the number up. Example: 38 rounded to the nearest ten is 40
• If the number you are rounding is followed by 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4, round the number down. Example: 33 rounded to the nearest ten is 30

Not only does Timothy Jay Schwab kick against the pricks and defy the doctrines of the Holy Spirit inspired Church but he also defies the accepted conventions and rules of mathematics! A man who is 36 is not about 30 just like a man who is 16 is not about 10. The idea is absurd. His math is woefully wrong. But don't take my word for it.

If Jesus was around thirty years old in AD 27—29, and we know that His birth occurred before 4 BC, that would put His birth, at the earliest, around 6 BC—any earlier would make Him between 35 and 40 years old in Luke 3:23, at which point He could no longer be considered "about thirty." Despite the inability of scholars to pinpoint exact dates, it is reasonable from these facts to conclude that Jesus was born between 6 and 4 BC, during the last few years of the reign of Herod the Great.

Not only does Tim give an estimated year of the Second Coming but he also wants to produce a video giving a blow-by-blow timeframe of what happens afterwards!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJhHkYky60Y&lc=UgyYC6LQov9cZGDKFJN4AaABAg

RUTHANN JOHNSON How long will it take for Earth and heaven to be remade

The God Culture Good question. It appears the Trumpet sounds on the Feast of Trumpets, Judgment Day is about 10 days later and 5 days later believers are receiving their new bodies according to the Feast schedule. One could say the battle occurs with Messiah and his army vs. the world essentially for 10 days roughly and then, He judges and replenishes with eternal fire for 5 days essentially. That's just a quick answer but in time, we hope to produce a video on that. Yah Bless.

Gee, I can't wait for the video where Tim breaks down what happens on the day of judgement and afterwards day by day and hour by hour. All estimated and approximate of course.

In this article I will not be analyzing Tim's computations regarding 2nd Esdras or when Jesus was born. That is beyond the scope here and not the purpose. Besides, 2nd Esdras is not even scripture so it is not worth pouring over. He might as well be trying to decipher the quatrains of Nostradamus or a secret message on the back of a Lucky Charms cereal box with his magic decoder ring. His series on Revelation 12 is an altogether different matter since it involves both scripture and the Philippines. I already dismantled that nonsense in 3 articles starting here. 

What I want to point out is that Timothy Jay Schwab has now been officially enrolled on the list of disgraced end-times teachers whose prophecies, predictions, and research has not come to pass. This includes Harold Camping, David Koresh, Charles Manson, John Hagee, William Miller, Brother Stair, Hal Lindsey, Johnathan Cahn, Charles Russell, Joachim of Fiore, Montanus, Thomas Muntzer, and the Zwickau Prophets. None of those men came up with their predictions out of thin air. The fact is men have always thought the end is near and have always based this supposition on calculations derived from scripture. They had precedence from scripture for their prognostications. From Tim's own words he admits he fits in with the above crowd of false prophets.

The God Culture Can you imagine living during WW2's height in the middle of Japan or Germany or any of the areas being bombed heavily? It would appear the end was already near. men have always thought so but now we have precedence in scripture we can understand and we can know. Yah Bless.

Of all the men listed above Tim is more like William Miller than any of them. That's because Miller, much like Tim, attempted to work out the true Biblical calendar and timeline. Based on his calculations Jesus was to return within the timeframe of 1843-1844.  Miller's prediction failed spectacularly and out of his movement was born the Seventh Day Adventist church which Tim apparently has nothing bad to say about despite Ellen G. White being a notorious false prophetess.

Another deleted comment from Tim's Youtube Channel

William Miller did not have the luxury of producing videos explaining his system but he did draw a detailed chart of his timeline.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Miller_(preacher)

Basing his calculations principally on Daniel 8:14: "Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed", Miller assumed that the cleansing of the sanctuary represented the Earth's purification by fire at Christ's Second Coming. Then, using the interpretive principle of the "day-year principle", Miller (and others) interpreted a day in prophecy to read not as a 24-hour period, but rather as a calendar year. Further, Miller became convinced that the 2,300 day period started in 457 BC with the decree to rebuild Jerusalem by Artaxerxes I of Persia. Simple calculation then revealed that this period would end in 1843. Miller records, "I was thus brought... to the solemn conclusion, that in about twenty-five years from that time 1818 all the affairs of our present state would be wound up."

Although Miller was convinced of his calculations by 1818, he continued to study privately until 1823 to ensure the correctness of his interpretation. In September 1822, Miller formally stated his conclusions in a twenty-point document, including article 15: "I believe that the second coming of Jesus Christ is near, even at the door, even within twenty-one years,--on or before 1843." Miller did not, however, begin his public lecturing until the first Sunday in August 1831 in the town of Dresden.

In 1832 Miller submitted a series of sixteen articles to the Vermont Telegraph, a Baptist newspaper. The Telegraph published the first of these on May 15, and Miller writes of the public's response: "I began to be flooded with letters of inquiry respecting my views; and visitors flocked to converse with me on the subject." In 1834, unable to personally comply with many of the urgent requests for information and the invitations to travel and preach that he received, Miller published a synopsis of his teachings in a 64-page tract with the lengthy title: Evidence from Scripture and History of the Second Coming of Christ, about the Year 1844: Exhibited in a Course of Lectures.

That is Timothy Jay Schwab's EXACT METHODOLOGY. Miller published his views in articles, Tim publishes his views in videos. Miller engaged in public lectures, Tim toured the Philippines giving public lectures. Miller was flooded with inquiries from those who read his articles, Tim has 117,000 subscribers on Youtube and gets hundreds of comments on every video. Miller's teaching eventually went international, Tim's videos reach people in every country. Miller never set an exact date just a year, Tim says we cannot know the exact date but sets an exact year. There are many more similarities between William Miller and his movement, Millerism, and Timothy Jay Schwab and his movement, The God Culture, that cannot be enumerated here. The only substantial difference between William Miller and Timothy Jay Schwab in regards to their prophetical interpretation is that Tim begins Daniel's 2,300 days (years) not at the decree to rebuild the temple in 457 BC but when wicked priests allegedly defiled the temple in 165 BC.

DANIEL'S 2300 DAYS. Count To The End? Part 2. Answers In 2nd Esdras 11

There is not enough space here to do justice to Tim's timeline or his calculations which really span the length of all his videos. It is sufficient to note that everything he is doing is exactly the same as what William Miller did 177 years ago. Miller was wrong and undoubtedly Tim will be proven wrong too, though we shall never get to witness that failure since we will all be dead by 2127. Truly there is nothing new under the sun.

Despite all the "Biblical" material Tim has produced and continues to produce the man is simply ignorant of the Bible. In attempting to figure out the timeline of Christ's return Tim resorts to using the unscriptural Book of Enoch. Enoch says a generation is 100 years. 

HOW MUCH TIME IS LEFT? It's Time To Know. Answers In 2nd Esdras 9

This prompted one viewer to ask a question. In a now deleted comment one commenter asked if we should just ignore what Moses had to say about the length of a generation.

Brett Hamm  Quick question. Do we just ignore or throw out Psalm 90 verse 10 where Moses describes a generation as 70 to 80 years? Please explain. Thanks. 

The God Culture First Moses did not write Psalm so stop pretending you can even read and comprehend. Why would you ever throw out Moses or suggest to do so? How stupid. That is the language of a fool and clearly you cannot read because David, who wrote Psalm never says that Enoch's generation Is 70-80 years. That is incredibly illiterate. David says In his day people live 70-80, years. What does that have to do with a generation before the Flood? Don't come in here especially first comment with such uneducated illiterate ridicule or you will be muted. Learn how to think or you will look stupid as you do.

This guy asked a question and Tim, being the scurrilous pedagogue he is, shut him down calling him illiterate, uneducated, and stupid. Furthermore, Tim claimed that Moses didn't write Psalm 90. That is simply not true.

The fact is David did not write all the Psalms. Some are by Asaph, some are by Heman, others are by Ethan, some are anonymous, and Psalm 90 is by Moses. If Tim responds that David wrote Psalm 90 under the name of Moses then his whole scheme for accepting Jubilees as the work of Moses and 1st and 2nd Esdras as the work of Ezra falls to pieces. To paraphrase Tim, this is either a Psalm of Moses or it is a lie. 

Everything about Timothy Jay Schwab and The God Culture is laughable and worthy of ridicule. They don't know the scriptures, they ape false prophets from the past, and now there is this:

A commenter asks where she can get a copy of a calendar. Tim, thinking he was posting a link, actually posted the file path from his MacBook!  This is not a fluke as he did it in a another comment here and on his Facebook page. 

Allow me to wrap this up with one final observation.

Preoccupation with attempting to figure out when Christ will return ignores the reality that Jesus Christ is here now and very present. He is with and in His Church and His people living in us and making his abode with us. It ignores the fact of Christ's own words that his Kingdom is not of this world. That it is spiritual and that his Church is this Kingdom on earth. It ignores that Christ lives and reigns in Heaven and is in control of all all things on earth. All the kingdoms of the earth are His. Attempting to figure out the day or year of Christ's return is a faithless and Christless endeavour. Note that waiting for His return and looking for His return are not the same as calculating when He shall return.

Closely aligned with predicting when Christ will return is millennialism. There is a reason chiliasm was condemned by the Church. It is because millennialism has always been and will always be the doctrine of heretics. It has long been the domain of heretics to look for a temporal 1,000 year reign of Jesus Christ in which there will be peace on earth when all the while Jesus Christ has been endued with power from on high and has been reigning since he ascended into Heaven. There is no end to His Kingdom which begins with the Church he built and which the gates of hell shall not prevail against.

Chiliastic views in antiquity were spread chiefly among heretics. The Second Ecumenical Council in 381 AD., condemning the heretic Apollinarius, condemned his teaching about the thousand-year Kingdom of Christ. To put a stop to further attempts at introducing this teaching, the Fathers of the Council inserted into the Creed the words about Christ: "His Kingdom shall have no end." In other words, when Christ's reign begins there will be no interruptions in His eternal Kingdom. In more recent times, chiliastic views were resurrected in some Protestant sects. As has been indicated, in this teaching there are proposed two future resurrections and two judgments: one for the righteous and later another for sinners; and there are two future comings of the Savior. There is a purely earthly reign of Christ with the righteous ones as a definite historical epoch. Formally, this teaching is based on an incorrect understanding of the expression first resurrection, while inwardly its cause is rooted in many contemporary sectarians' loss of faith in eternal life and in the blessedness of the righteous in Heaven, with whom they have no communion in prayer. Another cause is to be found in utopian dreams hidden behind religious ideas and inserted into the mysterious images of the book of Revelation.

Tim is such an heretic who looks for a literal and temporal 1,000 year reign of Jesus Christ on the earth.

Alana Bunch Timmothy, where is the second witness on the 1000 year rein? Thought this was symbolic OR already happened after the Messiah when here in the flesh?

The God Culture Think that thru... You can figure this out... Start with questions... How exactly were the Apostles being martyred a fit to the the 1,000-year reign? How is it that the Early Ekklesia was also being martyred still during the 1,000-year reign? Where does scripture say there will be murder during the 1,000-year reign? How can anyone think the Catholic Church came from the 1,000-year reign representing the opposite of scripture? How were there wars and conquests during the 1,000-year reign? Why is there sin during the supposed 1,000-year reign? Where did the Lost Tribes return during that 1,000-year reign? Where was the Beast just before that 1,000-year reign? If satan, has now been bound, why is the world mostly sin? Where is the Day of Judgment in that 1,000-year reign? Why is the world mostly sin again after that supposed 1,000-year reign? Why are men still dying after that supposed 1,000-year reign? Where exactly is the New Jerusalem come down from Heaven? Where is the Tree of Life we are supposed to be eating and why are you not eating from it? How did we miss all those incredibly massive events of epic proportion? Why did all the fish not die? Was the Bible wrong? Nothing in scripture fits that thinking. Now, do your research. Where is your second witness to any of this and why are you asking us to do your research for you which you clearly have not done? It's time to mature.

Tim does not see things are they really are spiritually but only as his eyes see temporally. I am not going to contradict him on every point in his comment. I would instead direct everyone to Book 20 of St. Augustine's City of God for a massive corrective of Tim's complete misunderstanding of the millennium.

If Timothy Jay Schwab of the The God Culture had nothing to do with the Philippines I would have ignored him long before now. It was obvious from the first article I wrote about him that he was a heretic. Because he has shown no remorse for his errors and has developed his system to such a height and continues to mislead so many people he deserves to go the same way the heresiarch Arius went.

As he approached the place called Constantine's Forum, where the column of porphyry is erected, a terror arising from the remorse of conscience seized Arius, and with the terror a violent relaxation of the bowels: he therefore enquired whether there was a convenient place near, and being directed to the back of Constantine's Forum, he hastened there. Soon after a faintness came over him, and together with the evacuations his bowels protruded, followed by a copious hemorrhage, and the descent of the smaller intestines: moreover portions of his spleen and liver were brought off in the effusion of blood, so that he almost immediately died.

Socrates, Church History, 1:38

But since his whole prophetic scheme and mission revolves around this nation and since the subject of this blog is the Philippines I cannot ignore him completely. 

The God Culture: Residual Ancient Hebrew in the Philippines?

 In chapter 13 of "The Search for King Solomon's Treasure" Timothy Jay Schwab of The God Culture theorizes that place-names in the Philippines show evidence of residual ancient Hebrew. Tim goes to great lengths attempting to prove that words such as Pilipinas, Mindoro, and Malacañang are actually Hebrew compound words and have nothing to do with Spanish, Chinese, or any local language.

The Search for King Solomon's Treasure, pg, 176

Tim's basis for this lies in his theory that Ophir moved east from Iraq and settled in the Philippines. Because he was a grandson of Eber he spoke Hebrew. That means when he arrived in the Philippines he named places using his native Hebrew tongue. Later when Solomon's ships arrived the Queen of Sheba, who also descended from Eber, understood the sailors and recognized the name of the Hebrew God because she too was a Hebrew speaker.

We pondered from the outset of this research that if the Philippines is Ophir, there should be residual Hebrew words within the language and perhaps even some monikers that the Spanish did not change but survive in their Hebrew origins still. Not only did Ophir have strong connection with Israelite Hebrews but we will show you that the word Hebrew is the word Eber. "All the sons of Eber," not just Peleg to Abraham are singled out in Genesis 10 as all are Hebrews including Joktan's sons Ophir, Sheba and Havilah.

 The Search for King Solomon's Treasure, pg. 176

Why were all the children of Eber including Joktan's sons called out here? They are all Hebrews and they are all Yahuah's children we will prove. Only those from Jacob are Israelite Hebrews. We do not debate that nor have we ever indicated otherwise but all those from Peleg and Joktan were Hebrews including Ophir, Sheba and Haviliah who migrated to the Philippines. This means Filipino roots, though mixed today to some degree, are actually Hebrew according to scripture.

This is why King Solomon built a new navy and port to go to Ophir because he knew family was there. It was also the reason that the Queen of Sheba came to hear not about Solomon necessarily but "concerning the name of his God." As a Hebrew she knew the same God. Lost Tribes of Israel could migrate to Ophir and mix in without detection making it the perfect place to relocate.

 The Search for King Solomon's Treasure, pg. 180

The families of Ophir and Sheba made the journey to the Philippines and they spoke Hebrew. Tim makes this same claim in his videos.

Solomon's Gold Series - Part 7: Track of the Hebrew to the Philippines. Ophir, Sheba, Tarshish

5:32 Our story begins with the separation of Peleg who headed west fathering Abraham Isaac, Jacob, Israel and Joktan his brother and Joktan’s sons who headed east about 100 years after God confused the languages of the earth at the Tower of Babel and dispersed the people. We believe both families still spoke the original Hebrew language of Noah and Shem as they do not appear to have been involved in the Tower of Babel confusing of languages.

Tim is very explicit that Hebrew was spoken by the entire family of Eber after the fall of the Tower of Babel and the confusing of languages. 100 years after the fall of the Tower of Babel Ophir migrated to the Philippines speaking nothing but Hebrew. When he arrived in the Philippines he used Hebrew to name the land.  Here is The God Culture's "Hebrew Pilipinas" map.

There are a plethora of alleged Hebrew place-names in the Philippines. Most people would tell you that Davao means river but did you know Davao really means menstruation? 

https://youtu.be/bPfIZpczybY

We realize at first, this may wax crude but contemplate this perspective. There is a modern prophecy which we would not normally pay attention. It is from Cindy Jacobs whom we do not support not know much about but this prophecy as we have vetted it, rings true. She identifies that the Philippines will be cleansed through the "bloodiest part." Little does she likely know Davao is literally the bloodiest part in Hebrew not just because of the turmoil in the past. This prophecy is available on our Youtube channel. The menstruation female cycle is one of cleansing and this becomes very appropriate as it may be Eve as it ties to her curse from the Garden once again just like Havilah. We would expect this if the Philippines is Ophir.

 The Search for King Solomon's Treasure, pg. 195

I suppose menstruation is a kind of river just not the one the natives were referring to. Who would name the place they live "menstruation?" That is disgusting! It's as gross and senseless as naming your homeland urine or vomit or any other vile human excretion. The residents of Davao City are referred to as Dabawyenos and they speak Davaoeño. According to Tim's etymology these people live in Menstruation City, are Mestruationites, and speak Menstruationese. Is Tim aware how stupid that is? It simply is not believable that Davao was named after the Hebrew word for menstruation. This is all based on faulty phonetic similarities and not genuine etymology or linguistics. 

The section of the alleged prophecy which mentions the "bloodiest part" is as follows:

As a sign that I am going to truly change the nation, I am going to show myself to the guerilla leaders. I am going to come, says the Lord, and I am going to begin at the places in the Philippines that have been the bloodiest; the places where the guerillas' insurrection have been the strongest. And I am going to come with signs and wonders and miracles! I am getting ready to pour out a miracle anointing upon the Philippines such as the earth has never seen! 

https://www.pinoyexchange.com/discussion/139886/cindy-jacobs-prophecy-for-the-philippines

It should be noted that this prophecy was delivered during a conference in the USA on October 27, 2001. 

Let's break this down. Timothy is citing a prophecy from a woman he does not know and does not support in order to bolster his claims that the Philippines is Ophir and contains Hebrew place-names. He claims Cindy prophesied the Philippines would be "cleansed through the bloodiest part" and then goes on to tell us that "Davao is literally the bloodiest part in Hebrew" because it means menstruation. 

But she says nothing about cleansing. She says God will visit the guerrilla leaders and show them signs and wonders. In that same prophecy she says the Lord will visit the University in Manila and "thousands and thousands and thousands are going to get saved."  I would not put any stock in the words of a false prophetess who declares she is an Apostle and who is an active leader of the New Apostolic Reformation along with Bill Johnson, Rodney Howard Browne, and a host of other kooks. That Tim puts faith in the words of a woman he admits he knows nothing about because he says they were "vetted" and ring true, just shows his total lack of discernment. Remember this false prophecy from false prophetess Cindy Jacobs forms part of Tim's "Monumental Case For The Philippines No One Can Disprove."

With the publication of his annotated "Book of Jubilees" and the advent of his new video series "Answers in Jubilees" Timothy Jay Schwab contradicts the thesis laid out above. Now he claims Hebrew was lost and only restored when God taught it to Abraham. For The Book of Jubilees tells him so. 

What Was The Original Language? Answers in Jubilees Part 1

2:57 Jubilees 12:25 "And Yahuah Elohim said open his (Abraham's) mouth and his ears, that he may hear and speak with his mouth, with the language which hath been revealed"; for it had ceased from the mouths of all the children of men from the day of the overthrow of Babel." Now this is being spoken by Yahuah himself in the time of Abraham about a century after Babel so he's telling us the language was lost at least in full until this time from Babel

17:28 Jubilees brings this to light and now we can answer this question thanks to the Book of Jubilees. The original language of creation forward was Hebrew. Lost at the Tower of Babel and reinstituted a century or so later by Yahuah teaching Abraham.

Here Tim says 100 years after the Tower of Babel Hebrew was a lost language "in full" and God taught it to Abraham. But in his previous video Tim said 100 years after Babel the family of Heber, including Ophir, were all Hebrew speakers! Both cannot be true. 

A possible solution Tim might offer is that after Abraham relearned Hebrew he taught it to Peleg, Ophir, and all the rest. In this scenario 100 years after the Tower of Babel Abraham is taught Hebrew by God, he then teaches it to his family which includes Peleg, Joktan, and Ophir, and then Ophir and the gang merrily make their way to the Philippines. Such reasoning would be totally ad hoc. That means Tim would be making up stuff he could not prove. The text does not say Abraham taught Hebrew to Ophir. Besides, every single place name in the Philippines has an explanation which does not require Hebrew. Genesis 10 is very sparse on details cornering Ophir and his migrations. Basically everything Tim has to say about the man Ophir and his journeys is ad hoc.

However neither Tim 's original scenario or the possible solution are correct because they hinge on the false idea that God taught Hebrew to Abraham a mere 100 years after the fall of the Tower of Babel. R.H. Charles has this to say about the timeframe of these events.

From the overthrow of Babel (x. 26) the knowledge of the Hebrew language was lost till the 75th year of Abrams life. 

https://archive.org/details/bookofjubileesor00char/page/94/mode/2up

Abraham learned Hebrew when he was 75. But how much time had elapsed since the fall of the Tower of Babel? 100 years? No. 312 years!

https://lmf12.files.wordpress.com/2014/01/chronology-of-jubilees.pdf

The tower went down and the nations were dispersed in 1639. Abraham learned Hebrew in 1951. That is 312 years. R.H. Charles has the tower going down in 1688 and Abraham learning Hebrew in 1953 which is the same timeline VanderKam gives in his commentary.

The language had fallen out of use at Babel when the tower collapsed (in the year 1688 [revised chronology]; see 10:26, where the tower ruin is called Collapse, as here). Now in the year 1951, 263 years later, the angel supernaturally revives it through Abram.

 Jubilees Commentary, VanderKam, pg, 457

That is 263 years. This timeframe means if Ophir and his family headed east to the Philippines 100 years after the fall of the Tower of Babel they could not have relearned Hebrew from Abraham. If the language was completely lost until God restored it to Abraham then Ophir and all the rest were most certainly not speaking Hebrew. The only solution is to posit that Ophir, Peleg, and all the rest did not migrate east until 312-263 years after Babel when they learned Hebrew from Abraham. But that would require Tim to recalculate his whole system as too much time would have passed. It would also be ad hoc and pure speculation.

It should be noted that Tim's own annotated version of Jubilees retains the timeline of R.H. Charles. Thus on page 104 Tim has 1688 for the fall of the tower and on page 112 he has 1951 for when Abraham relearned Hebrew. His video and his book contradict each other.

Timeline of Jubilees, Book of Jubilees, Timothy Jay Schwab, pg. 92

With this video Tim has contradicted his thesis about residual Hebrew being found in the Philippines. If there is residual Hebrew in the place-names of the Philippines he cannot ground it in Ophir and his family because, according to The Book of Jubilees no one knew Hebrew from the fall of the Tower of Babel until Abraham learned it 312 years later. There is nothing in Jubilees to indicate Ophir learned Hebrew from Abraham. To posit that idea is pure speculation and not based on what the text says.

Tim's comment on Jubilees 12:25 mentions a tradition that contradicts Jubilees.

i. e. the sacred language, Hebrew, knowledge of which had been lost since the overthrow of Babel. According to another tradition Heber alone retained knowledge of Hebrew because he had taken no part in the building of the Tower.

What is this other tradition that Heber did not lose his knowledge of Hebrew because he did not participate in building the Tower of Babel? Tim does not say. In fact later in the book he seems to have forgotten the existence of this tradition.

Book of Jubilees, pg. 247

What Was the Original Language?

Hebrew was the original language of Creation (Jub. 12:25-26). It was lost at the Tower of Babel until restored by Abraham who learned it in order to read the writings of his fathers.

Though Tim does not tell us what tradition he is referring to in his comments on Jubilees 12:25 there are two possible sources from which he is drawing. The first is R.H. Charles' note on this verse.

A different tradition from that in our text appears in the Catena Nicephori, 1. col. 177, on Gen. xi. 8, where Heber is said to have alone retained the Hebrew language, because he took no part in the building of Babel. In the next colophon of the same work the same statement is attributed to Diodorus of Antioch (378-394 A.D.). A similar view is set forth in Augustine, De Civ. Dei, xvi. 11…

https://archive.org/details/bookofjubileesor00char/page/96/mode/2up 

Augustine's passage about Heber and the Hebrew language is too long to reproduce here. But he does write one thing that is very significant.

Nor is it without significance that this is the language which Abraham retained, and that he could not transmit it to all his descendants, but only to those of Jacob's line, who distinctively and eminently constituted God's people, and received His covenants, and were Christ's progenitors according to the flesh. In the same way, Heber himself did not transmit that language to all his posterity, but only to the line from which Abraham sprang.

https://www.newadvent.org/fathers/120116.htm

According to Augustine Heber transmitted Hebrew only to the line of Abraham and Abraham only transmitted the language to the line of Jacob. That is a rather interesting tradition which contradicts Jubilees and Tim. But what is the source of this tradition? Where is Augustine drawing from? 

The second place Tim could have learned about this tradition is Wikipedia.

13th century Muslim historian Abu al-Fida relates a story, noting that the patriarch Eber (great-grandson of Shem) refused to help with the building of the Tower of Babel, so his language was not confused when it was abandoned. He and his family alone retained the original human language (a concept referred to as lingua humana in Latin), Hebrew, a language named after Eber.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eber

That page leads to an encyclopedia article.

In one place Tabari ("Annales," ed. de Goeje, i. 220) gives a tradition that Nimrod ruled at Babil and his people were Moslems. But he seduced them to idolatry, and in a single day God confused their speech, which had been Syriac, and they became of seventy-two tongues. In another place (p. 224) Tabari tells the story practically as in Genesis. Ibn Wadiḥ (i. 17) has a longer narrative on the same lines. Abu 'Isa, the astronomer quoted by Abu al-Fida ("Hist. Anteisl.," ed. Fleischer, p. 18), also tells the Biblical story of the Tower and the confusion. He adds that Eber alone, because he did not join the others in their impious attempt, was permitted to retain the original Hebrew language. This is in curious contrast with the other narratives, which view Syriac as the original tongue. It is possible that the belief, current in all the Moslem world, that Syriac was the original language, is to be traced to the influence of the Syriac "Cave of Treasures" and the Arabic "Kitab al-Majall," with their anti-Jewish polemics.

https://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/articles/2279-babel-tower-of

Following the citation there leads to the Latin version of Abufelda's history. As far as I can make out the story is as follows:

The cause of the languages ​​confused Abu-Isa story, Noahides those who grew up after the flood, forming a common citadel had resolved that if by chance the new flood erupted, they could protect themselves. That the mass of a certain very lofty, therefore, is to raise up, of which may reach the heaven, to rise.

With this design, for the first time in one of them, and rushes on that one of the two men, and seventy of the chiefs of the towers to have placed the Father, built, and who does the works by naval operations. But the God of contim, the arrogance of the dialect that much of their language, in their many different one from resolved.

Only Eber, who disapproved of the venture and in obedience to God persisted in the Hebrew language to be abandoned in the future preservation. So where Noahides in different ways, halfgods lot slim - Iraq, Iran and which are located further to India; Hamid of the earth, of the southerners, so that the Egyptians; and the other which the Nile's waters, and also as far as to the last of the things that were by the side to the west, Mauritania to; Jafethidis which is adjacent to the Caspian Sea and which tend to Seruin beyond the eastern region. At this time the confusion of tongues occurred to him, out of the tribe of the people of Noah's sons, and threescore and two sons already were.

https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=umn.31951002074826l&view=1up&seq=254&size=125&q1=ebero

That is translated from Latin to English via Google translate. It's not the greatest translation but the story is clear enough. Is Tim referring to a tradition penned by a Muslim historian in the 13th century or is he referring to R.H. Charles' notes? Whatever the case there is indeed a tradition of Heber alone retaining the knowledge of Hebrew because he did not participate in the building of the Tower of Babel. Do the Jews ever mention anything like this in the Talmud? What is the source of this story? Since Tim refers to this tradition only once it could be he does not believe it is true. But then why even mention it? Why not take the time to explore it a little especially as it might help his case cornering residual ancient Hebrew being found in the place-names of the Philippines? Of course this story contradicts Jubilees 12:25 which is likely why he ignores it.

Tim most certainly does believe The Book of Jubilees is history and scripture. It is this belief that has caused a contradiction with his thesis about residual ancient Hebrew being found in the Philippines. If Hebrew was lost from the time of Babel until Abraham spoke it anew 312 years later then Ophir could not have been speaking Hebrew and any residual Hebrew in the Philippines cannot be tied to him. Likewise the Queen of Sheba would not be familiar with the name of Solomon's God as she would not have been a Hebrew speaker. Nor would Lost Tribes be able to easily "mix in without detection" as they would be speaking a totally different language. 

Even if she were a Hebrew speaker The Queen of Sheba would not know anything about Solomon's God because God only made himself known to Israel beginning with His covenant with Abraham. 

Amos 3:1-2  Hear this word that the LORD hath spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying, You only have I known of all the families of the earth...

The nature of that covenant disproves Tim's blasphemous and anti-Chrisitan doctrine "the law is what redeems us" as Galatians 3:17-19 clearly tells us. This verse also proves that not all Hebrews are children of God. Ishmael and Esau are also descendants of Eber and thus Hebrews. Tim will have to include them and the Edomites as children of God if he wants to say all the Hebrews are Children of God.  It just goes to show that relying on apocryphal books which the Church has rejected as scripture will lead you down a dark path ending in erroneous theology and false history.

From Jubilees Tim gets the bad theology that the law was originally delivered to Adam and not Moses and that the law, not Jesus Christ, is God's supreme revelation to mankind. I am not sure where he gets his doctrine of the Holy Spirit but Timothy Jay Schwab finally publicly denied that the Holy Spirit is divine.

COMMANDMENTS OF THE NEW TESTAMENT: A Sabbath Reflection. Part 3: If You Love Me...

13:29 For those looking for our view on the Holy Spirit there you have it. We stick to the Word. He has a role and it is precious and powerful and it is something we all need. We love and treasure Him and His role. We always have and we always will. Now if you have followed our journey the past four years you well know we are not this smart but the Holy Spirit has revealed things that are ready to be revealed. That's it. So we have a relationship with the Holy Spirit and we find Him to be precious and valuable in our lives like nothing else. So, however there is not a single scripture that ever equates Him as the Father, it just isn't there so there's nothing to debate.

That is a thoroughly ignorant denial of the divinity of the Holy Spirit. Of course there are no scriptures equating the Spirit as the Father because they are separate hypostases. They share the same divine nature not the same hypostasis! The Holy Spirit is as much God as the Father and the Son but they remain separate persons. There is a sharing of the nature without a confusing of the hypostases. Once again Tim has no idea what he is talking about. From this it sounds doubtful he has any idea what the doctrine of the Trinity actually entails. I recommend this video as a serious corrective to his theological moribundity.

Sadly not a single comment on that video has called out Tim's rank anti-trinitarian heresy. Timothy Jay Schwab and his followers are caught up in prelest. I hope they can find their way out.  I would recommend this video to understand what it means to actually test the spirits and the true nature of spiritual delusion.
