The God Culture: The Law is What Redeems Us

It seems Timothy Jay Schwab of The God Culture is finished telling his version of Philippine history and has now moved on to reveal his more explicitly theological doctrines. The gist of his history about the Philippines is that Filipinos are Israelites and the Philippines is one of the two witnesses who will rise up in the last days and condemn the nations. The other witness is the Kurds who Tim teaches are also Israelites. The condemnation of the nations by the Philippines in the last days will consist in the restoration of the Mosaic law in all its fullness. It was crucial that Tim lay down his historical foundation because now he can teach what the restoration of the law means.

In several recent videos he has given his teaching about the sabbath and about what the Apostle Paul "really said" regarding the law. According to Tim Paul had to actually relearn how to keep the Mosaic law. You see Paul was a Pharisee which means he only knew the Pharisaical way to keep the law which is not the correct way.

https://youtu.be/9Id0VB5fM5M?t=1821
30:22 However Paul kept the Pharisee law in his teachings back then but Pharisee teachings. Ok? Those do not attribute to him keeping the actual law because the Pharisee law is not the law. Therefore having been a Pharisee it did not mean Paul understood the law or the Bible any better than anyone else. He would have to relearn, really unlearn first, and then relearn the entire law because they had leavened pretty much all of it and turned it against, so Paul was learning really a new law when you think about it.
Who taught Paul the correct way to keep the law? The implication is Jesus Christ did when Paul went to Arabia for three years. Tim says that after relearning how to keep the law the Apostle Paul then taught Gentile Christians to do the same. From circumcision to sacrifices to the dietary commands all 613 laws are still in effect. Keeping them is necessary to one's salvation and to being grafted into the kingdom. If you don't keep the law then you are not in relationship with Yahuah. If you are not in relationship with Yahuah then you are not saved.

The following video is a brief presentation of how Timothy Jay Schwab of The God Culture teaches men are saved.  In short it is not faith in Christ which redeems us. The law of Moses is what redeems us.


While this video is a mash up of three God Culture videos, it accurately depicts the teaching of Timothy Jay Schwab of The God Culture regarding salvation. The transcript with sources is as follows:

The Law of Sin and Death. What is it? NOT The Law of Moses! WHAT DID PAUL SAY? at 0:28
People ask at times how do we know we are saved? Well, are you keeping the sabbath? That is the sign of one who is saved and in relationship with Him. 
So this is another example that we aren't to just have faith in Yahusha. That’s not enough. That’s not it.  No, no, no, no. We are to keep His commandments.
Sabbath Series: Part 5: The End Times Sabbath at 19:30
For we know that the law is spiritual.  Which law is he talking about? He's talking about the law of Moses. Operating in the Spirit is operating in the law of Moses.
The law written by the very finger of Yahuah Himself.  The law is what redeems us.

The Law of Sin and Death. What is it? NOT The Law of Moses! WHAT DID PAUL SAY? at 1:02:29
The text shown on screen is a list of all 613 laws of the Law of Moses which can be found at the following link:

613 Laws of the Old Testament

I posted this video a few weeks ago to see how it would fare. The God Culture saw it and responded in two ways. First it appears Tim had this to say: 
10:02 Now, in other words, when you die to the law of sin and death you keep the law of Moses. That's what he's saying. And he said that in Romans 7 and 8. And we made that clear in those videos yet our words taken out of context and someone attempted to try to frame that we were saying that salvation through the law which is ridiculous and pretty stupid frankly. To not keep the law of Moses is to live in the law of sin and death that's it because they're opposites, you're in one or you're in the other. There's no gray area in between. Paul doesn't leave any gray area. You're in one or you're in the other.  He says there are only two laws in this respect. 
Again, is there salvation through the law? No. One is not saved by keeping the law.  That is Pharisee doctrine, not what Paul says. Paul is clear there is only salvation through Yahushah Hamashiach. 
It may sound confusing but it's actually very simple. It has become confusing because Pharisees have gotten their hands in it and mixed it up.  We receive Him in making a decision to make Him our Lord. I mean a real decision not just saying a prayer and in fact a prayer is not even required. However we are saved if we continue in that relationship and this where the law comes in because if you claim Messiah is your lord you cannot serve the law of sin and death any longer. If you serve the law of sin and death He is not your Lord. Sorry but He's not. He can't be. You cannot serve two masters, right? He said that. And there is no reconciling the two opposite laws as somehow the same. 
https://youtu.be/8AT2mw2nHoY?t=602
What Tim is saying can be visualized like this:

Silly Tim. Grace and law do not mix!

Tim is attempting to shove grace inside the law hole. It does not work that way. Only law fits in the law hole. Grace goes elsewhere. You cannot combine the two. They cancel each other out.
John 1:17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
The confusion stems from Tim saying several contradictory things including faith in Christ is not enough, the law is what redeems us, the law does not save us, we are saved by relationship with Christ, that relationship entails keeping the Mosaic law, to walk in newness of life is to keep the Mosaic law, salvation is sure, and salvation can be lost.  All those statements contradict each other. Despite his rejection of the idea a close look at his doctrine reveals that for Tim salvation does come through keeping the law. But law keeping must be coupled with faith in Christ or else it is in vain. They are synergistic and go together. Like love and marriage you can't have one without the other.  For Tim to say all he says about the law and then tell his audience salvation does not come from the law is disingenuous. His doctrine is entirely legalistic. He hardly ever mentions the grace of Jesus Christ. Timothy Jay Schwab is a graceless law hole.

I stand by this video 100%. It accurately depicts Tim's heretical doctrine. Faith in Christ is not enough. The law is what redeems us. There are 613 laws which must be kept in order to maintain our relationship with Christ and be grafted into the kingdom. Of all those laws Tim harps on the sabbath the most. Listen to his videos on Colossians 2 and 3 as well as Grafted Into the Kingdom for further confirmation.

The second response of The God Culture to this video was to have it removed for allegedly violating their copyright.



The hypocrisy here is unbelievable. All I did was take some audio, splice it up, and make a video that is protected under fair use laws. The whole point is to show the stupidity of Timothy's salvation doctrine which is, "We aren't to just have faith in Yahusha, That's not enough" and "The law is what redeems us." No one who saw this video could ever be fooled into thinking The God Culture made it nor is it designed to fool people into thinking such.

I submitted the proper counter notification and was given this notice:


The God Culture were given 10 days to show proof that they had begun "court action against" me or the video would be restored. They failed to provide such proof and the video has now been restored.

Contrast my experience to a channel called Youtube Flare who has reposted The God Culture's videos IN FULL and with his own added intro and outro since 2017. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xp3deY6yUfQ

He has even monetized these videos!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xp3deY6yUfQ

This channel has modified and monetized The God Culture's videos since 2017 and they don't know about it? Or they don't care? For a group so allegedly protective of their copyrights that doesn't smell right at all.

But it gets even worse. The God Culture has tried to shut me down because I use screenshots of their videos when I write about them. They claim that it is a copyright violation to do so. But in their video "Was the Apostle Paul the Son of Perdition" they do this very same thing using screenshots from a video to illustrate what they are talking about!

What a bunch of hypocrites. The issue here is not my use of screenshots or parodying their logo or anything having to do with alleged libel or copyright violations, neither of which am I guilty. The real issue is that I have stepped up to expose The God Culture for the frauds that they are. I have proven several times how their research about the Philippines is erroneous and amounts to copy/pasting from blogs and Wikipedia as well as manipulating and misinterpreting other sources like the Periplus of the Erythean Sea.  And they are very, very, very angry that the truth about them has come out. They want me and my blog gone and to that end they will do whatever it takes including threatening, or perhaps even actually bringing, legal action.

Stop Cyber Criminal. This blog as all of this fraud's material are filled with Cyber Libel, Negligence, Fraud, Misrepresentation, Copyright Infringement, etc. He has been reported to the authorities and this will be dealt with. In the meantime, understand this is outrageous fraud in misrepresentation. We are no longer addressing this sheer stupidity and childish, criminal behavior. Watch our videos which are not represented here, test them and prove all things for yourself because David Roxas is a criminal whose time to reap his reward is very near.
What an empty, stupid, malicious threat and accusation. Are they really going to waste their time and money suing me in court over this blog because I have exposed Timothy Jay Schwab for the absolute fraud he is? If they ever do sue me you can be sure it will be posted here for all to see what morons this group of fake researchers actually is.

The God Culture: Revelation 12 Series, Part 3: We Represent the Moon Cult Guild

This is the last part in my review of The God Culture's Revelation 12 series. Part 1 can be found here and part 2 can be found here. To recap the woman is both the nation of Israel and 144,000 women who give birth to 144,000 children in the throne room of God. The man-child is the 144,000 children whom the woman births. The land to which the woman flees is the Philippines. In this post Tim will examine the moon and star symbology which further identifies the woman and then he will tell us exactly who the dragon is.

I hope you have noticed that all my titles in this series are adapted from songs in the Wizard of Oz. That's because I thought it was funny but really when dealing with Timothy Jay Schwab and The God Culture you aren't in Kansas anymore. You aren't even in the Philippines. You are in a world of Pure Imagination.


As was said this next video, part 13 D, deals with the moon and star symbology which further identifies the woman.  What is the moon under her feet? What are the stars on her head?  First of all one has to understand that, according to Timothy Jay Schwab, the Philippine archipelago forms the shape of a woman.

https://youtu.be/LmGWoEMi3XQ?t=1284

Do you see it?  Do you see the woman? I do not and it is here that Tim's interpretation breaks down. He is going to base everything that follows on his SUBJECTIVE assertion that the Philippines is shaped like a woman.  I see a sleeping dog.


I wrote in a previous post that Tim suffers from apophenia which is the tendency to make connections between unrelated things. Now we see that he is also suffering from Pareidolia.
Pareidolia (/pærɪˈdoʊliə/ parr-i-DOH-lee-ə) is the tendency for incorrect perception of a stimulus as an object, pattern or meaning known to the observer, such as seeing shapes in clouds, seeing faces in inanimate objects or abstract patterns, or hearing hidden messages in music. Pareidolia can be considered a subcategory of apophenia. 
Common examples are perceived images of animals, faces, or objects in cloud formations, the Man in the Moon, the Moon rabbit, and other lunar pareidolia. The concept of pareidolia may extend to include hidden messages in recorded music played in reverse or at higher- or lower-than-normal speeds, and hearing indistinct voices in random noise such as that produced by air conditioners or fans.[1] 
Pareidolia was at one time considered a symptom of human psychosis, but it is now seen as a normal human tendency.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareidolia
While it is normal to see shapes in things this is no way to interpret the Bible. Especially as Tim had previously said the constellations are just a subjective connecting of the dots. I say seeing a woman in the Philippines is a subjective connecting of the dots. It also contradicts his assertion that there is no allegory in Revelation 12 as well as his previous interpretations of the woman. Now the woman in heaven is not just Israel and 144,000 pregnant women but the actual land of the Philippines on the earth! The woman in heaven and the wilderness to which she is sent in Revelation 12 are now bizarrely conflated into one and the same thing.

Tim takes his time to prove his case and concludes with the following:
52:40 The moon is Rachel or mother of the tribes of Israel which fits the mother of all living and all mankind. Both are the Philippines. Now what's really fascinating additionally if you want to go a little further with that specifically the moon is Rachel and again we said we've already located the Lost Tribes in the Philippines landing in the territory of the Ilocano's and we do even go further in our Lost Tribe series and we tie Ilocano's to the tribe of Manasseh. Manasseh is Joseph’s son. Joseph is the son of who? Rachel! An interesting tie. Awesome! 
And under her feet is a reference to Islam the Moon cult of which the largest population on earth is right there at her feet. No we are not saying Rachel is Islam any sense. We're saying it is yet another very distinct reference to the moon under her feet. That is all. And the crown of twelve stars are 12 tribes of Israel indeed but also found geographically on and literally as the twelve burning Islands the Babuyan islands. The gateway the portal in the east perhaps just above the figure of the woman forming a circle as a crown even. 
It all fits and it really is unthinkable that Yahuah would not include this land with all of its history, the most history of any land in all of earth, and that he wouldn’t include that in prophecy is unthinkable to us and we find he does in this case.
"The moon is Rachel" is a reference to Joseph's dream in Genesis 37 which Tim says refers to this passage in Revelation though without explaining exactly why except they share the same symbology. Just as Jacob, Israel, is the Sun, Rachel is the moon. Thus, as Jacob is the Sun and also the Philippines, so is Rachel both the moon and the Philippines. But the moon also represents Islam which Tim refers to as a moon cult after proving that Allah is the moon god. That he has to tell us that he is not saying Rachel is Islam goes to show he acknowledges that he is mixing his metaphors. Rachel is the moon which is the Philippines but the moon is also Islam. Make up your mind Tim!

The largest Muslim nation, moon cult, in the world is Indonesia which is under the feet of the woman. Ergo Indonesia, specifically Islam, is the moon under her feet. That is if you can see the womanly shape in the Philippines' outline.


The stars are a group of 12 islands north of Luzon which form a crown to the horribly misshapen and squat woman that is the Philippine archipelago.

Revelation 12: The Land That Protects The Woman. Moon & Stars. Solomon's Gold Series 13E

These are the Babuyan Islands. Tim assigns this name a Hebrew interpretation meaning gateway or portal and links these islands to the 12 portals in the east mentioned in the book of Enoch but gives no proof that Babuyan is actually composed of two Hebrew words. He relies only on similarity of sound and not actual linguistic analysis.
44:48 But let's look first at the word Babuyan. Bab, in the upper left of this screen, means gate or gateway. You mean portal? And uyan in Hebrew means it was studied. A portal being studied. Hmm. Now that's odd in light of what we saw in Enoch in the last video. First from the scripture we shared earlier which says thy seed, Abraham’s seed, shall possess the gate of his enemies. Look at this location. Think about it. At the very top of the Philippines and the enemy is very close to there. Interesting. But Enoch says at the ends of the earth he saw 12 portals to heaven basically. Is there some association to a portal to heaven in the Babuyan Islands? Well we can't prove that but very odd that the name means a studied gateway in Hebrew. Hmm.
He also goes on to interpret the word as it is in Tagalog. Specifically he uses the interpretation as found on Filipiknow.net. As usual he does not properly attribute his source. He does not give the full URL from Filipiknow.net nor does he try to find the source Filipinknow.net used for their claims. His poor research skills are once more on full display. The original source is a book titled, "The Batanes Islands," and the relevant section can be found at this link though not in full.

Revelation 12: The Land That Protects The Woman. Moon & Stars. Solomon's Gold Series 13E
47:38 According to a book by Dominican priest Julio Gonzalez, who had the patience to explore the history of the northernmost islands of the Philippines. Babuyan Islands got its name from one of its own. In other words, neither Miss Piggy nor Piglet had nothing to do with the name origin. Now that's because baboy is the word in, I guess Ilocano, but in Filipino languages for pig. So it's an assumed association but a wrong one. So let's keep reading. 
Among these islands Caruga Babuyan is the highest and northernmost island. It is also the most visible from Luzon and Batanes are the islands even further north just before Taiwan. Where it is known by the natives as Mabalbal. Probably said that wrong sorry. Or, in English, burning island. Interesting. Now this is assuming that's in reference to its semi-extinct volcano. Maybe. And that explains why the island had was named as such Curog or claro in Spanish which means clear while Babuyan is said to have evolved from "mabuy" or "mabuyan" which means "to see; a place which is seeing." Eventually the island group adopted the name of Caruga-Babuyan and became known as Babuyanes which literally means "the places which are seen." It is simply known today as Babuyan Group of Islands
Pick an etymology, Tim! Is it a Hebrew word or a local Filipino word?  It cannot be both. There are also actually 24 islands and not 12 so that messes up Tim's interpretation.
Babuyan Islands, island group of the Philippines that is a northerly extension of the Philippine archipelago. The Babuyan Islands lie in the Luzon Strait, south of the Batan Islands and Balintang Channel. They lie 20 miles (32 km) north of Luzon across the Babuyan Channel. With a total area of 230 square miles (600 square km), they comprise 24 volcanic-coralline islands, the chief of which are Babuyan, Camiguin, Calayan, Fuga, and Dalupiri.  
https://www.britannica.com/place/Babuyan-Islands
Funny how on the slide for these islands he lists Wikipedia as his source and ignores that Wikipedia states there are 24 islands and not 12.

This is all total nonsense. The woman IN HEAVEN is wearing a crown of 12 stars. But Tim tells us these stars are 12 islands north of Luzon. So the woman in heaven is the Philippine archipelago?? Likewise the woman IN HEAVEN is clothed with the sun and has the moon under her feet but Tim applies all of that symbology not to a real woman but to the geographic Philippines which is on earth. His fanciful interpretation does not take into account the actual text of Revelation 12.

Let's do a quick rundown and try to sort this all out.
The woman in heaven clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and wearing a crown of 12 stars is Israel. 
She is also 144,000 women who give birth to the man-child. 
The man-child is 144,000 newborn babies who are offered up as a first-fruit offering to God. 
The woman in heaven clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and wearing a crown of 12 stars flees heaven on the wings of the Philippine eagle and is brought to the Philippines which is the wilderness prepared for her.
The wilderness prepared for the woman in heaven is also the woman in heaven who is clothed with the sun, has the moon under her feet, and is wearing a crown of 12 stars as evidenced by the Babuyan Islands, Islamic Indonesia, the sun symbology in the flag and national anthem, and that the Philippine archipelago is shaped like a woman.
The woman in heaven clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and wearing a crown of 12 stars is thus the nation of Israel, 144,000 women who give brith, and the Philippine archipelago which is on earth and is the wilderness prepared for her by God.
Try to make sense of that if you can. Timothy Jay Schwab has given this woman three different identities. And he has the nerve to say there is no allegory in this passage when that is exactly how he interprets the whole thing. He does not even follow proper allegorical interpretation as each character in this chapter has been assigned multiple identities which all contradict each other. How can the woman in heaven also be the wilderness prepared for her by God? How can the woman in heaven be human beings and an archipelago on the earth? The woman in heaven flees to the woman in heaven on the earth? What incoherent nonsense!


While there are two more videos in the Revelation 12 series this is basically the end. In the final two videos Tim tells us who the dragon is. He claims it is China and goes through all the same sorts of fanciful explanations he does elsewhere to prove his claim. He even mentions a large particle collider the Chinese are planning to build and claims they want to open portals to other dimensions.


Revelation 12: The Dragon & The Beast That Rises Out of the Sea. Solomon's Gold Series 13F
31:21 Remember Enoch which we shared before says there are 12 portals in the East? We identified what could be one location in the crown of stars over the head of the Philippines, the Babuyan Islands meaning gateway or portal even. Again even if we go there doubt we are going to be able to enter that portal even so. So not going to be able to prove that out but it is an interesting connection as is this. Could the Scarborough Shoal or somewhere around that area have some sort of markers to better identify this? 
For those who are familiar with CERN, an operation on the border of France and Switzerland which purpose is to open a portal in fact, the project is expanding but guess who just so happens to be planning to build the very largest particle collider to open a portal in history? Well, China of course! Now they haven't announced where they would build it but we sure do wonder if that is not a connection here as it's really intended to open a portal to another dimension to send things through or receive something or someone at least in the words of those who run the CERN project. It's an interesting thought we cannot prove out nor have we seen this operate but odd that in lieu of everything else China of all places is planning on building the largest portal at that. Now we can't say this for sure on this but we are telling you keep your eye on this one
If Tim cannot prove any of this then why mention it? It's all worthless conjecture.

In the end times China, which Tim claims is shaped like a dragon, will lead the attack against God's people who are being sequestered and protected by Him in the Philippines!

Revelation 12: The Dragon & The Beast That Rises Out of the Sea. Solomon's Gold Series 13G
1:40:00 One last observation which also supports this. Remember we’ve looked at the Philippines map and it literally looks like the figure of a woman with legs and a crown. But what about China? When you take a look at that map what do you see? Talk about odd, are we the only ones that see the very head of a demon or dragon at the top of the map of China? We can even see the form of a goatee a face and horns and it is looking down at the land that protects the woman in fact the Philippines. Very odd indeed. 
Tim is nuts. China is very clearly shaped like fighting cock with his neck outstretched, his chest puffed, and his wings flapping.


That China is shaped like a rooster is a fact taught to Chinese school children.

In conclusion the great red dragon where Satan falls to earth will be China and Revelation 12 from that point on earth plays out in the Philippines which protects the woman and the South China Sea which China is attempting to take over perhaps prophetically. The Beast will rise out of that sea perhaps even in the area of Scarborough Shoal and the complete progression of the beast as demonstrated in his figure of the leopard Germany bear Russia and lion Britain tell the exact story of the migration of communism which ends in China the land of the great red dragon and the beast. Wow! 
This is fascinating. Again we know this is prophecy and some may not agree with our full interpretation and that's okay but we have certainly fully proven this out as far as we can at this point and we feel very comfortable with these conclusions. We firmly believe this is ground zero for the end times playing out and we fully identified it from Revelation 12 and the first part of 13. But as always test everything and prove this out for yourself.
Once again these imaginative explanations are all a bunch of nonsense. Revelation 12:9 clearly identifies the dragon as Satan, the devil! Not a nation. To interpret that any other way is for Tim to contradict the plain words of scripture.
Revelation 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
Saying that China is the dragon is exegetically wrong. Interchange "Satan" with the phrase "great red dragon" and see how stupid this interpretation is.
"In conclusion the great red dragon where the great red dragon falls to earth will be China"
"In conclusion the Satan where Satan falls to earth will be China"
Tim ignores what the Bible actually says in order to push his own doctrines. He has not proved anything in these seven videos about Revelation 12 except that he is a cunning deceiver. I leave it to you to watch the last two videos as well as the other five. As always there is so much balderdash, claptrap, baloney, hooey, hogwash, blather, tripe, and gobbledygook in these videos that there is no way to properly deconstruct each laughable absurdity. The main points have been adequately covered.

I want to end on a different note.  All throughout his videos Tim makes the most unfounded, fanciful connections and then claims, "It fits, therefore it's true!" So I want to try an experiment. Using Tim's techniques I want to answer the question, "Are Timothy Schwab and David Koresh the same person?"  I think you will be surprised.

Both are men. Both wear glasses. Both keep the sabbath. Both live in special places. David Koresh lived in Waco and Tim lives in the Philippines which he claims is the land of creation. Both have fanciful interpretations of Revelation. Both have been persecuted.  David was killed by the FBI while Tim claims he is being censored by Google.

Let's chart this out.



Hmm. Interesting. How odd. Now, I'm not saying Timothy Jay Schwab is David Koresh but it certainly fits!

The God Culture: Revelation 12 Series, Part 2: Ding-Dong, the Man-Child's Born! Which Man-Child? The 144,000!

This is part 2 of my review of The God Culture's Revelation 12 series. Part 1 can be found here. After identifying the woman in Revelation 12 as the nation of Israel, which means Filipinos, Negroes, and Kurds, Tim goes on to identify the man-child to whom she gives birth in heaven.


Tim compares the symbolism in Revelation 2, 14, 7, and 12 and comes to the conclusion that the man child is the 144,000. His tedious exegesis is summed up in these two charts.



If you are not familiar with Revelation the 144,000 is a group composed of 12,000 members of each of the twelve tribes of Israel. The event of their sealing is recorded in chapter 7. However the tribe of Dan is missing. That is a huge problem for Timothy because he is interpreting this as being literal.

Tim recognizes Dan is not among the 144,000 and gives the reason as being that they rejected their inheritance and brought in idolatry. But so what? If these 144,000 are from the literal physical bloodline of Jacob then Dan must be included. 
40:48 Only Dan is missing and that is likely because of his rebellion rejecting the land he was given as an inheritance. He didn't like it so he went and lived somewhere else and along the way he picked up and introduced false idols into northern Israel after they entered the kingdom. So anyway there are actually 13 tribes technically because Joseph's two sons are each a tribe Ephraim and Manasseh.
That is not true. There are not technically 13 tribes and no one says such a thing. Joseph was given a double portion in Israel and his sons were counted as half-tribes.
And the rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, being the kingdom of Og, gave I unto the half tribe of Manasseh; all the region of Argob, with all Bashan, which was called the land of giants.
Deuteronomy 3:13
The likely reason Dan is not included in this list is because Dan means judgement and God's people will not be judged by Him the way everyone else will. Again Tim misses all this because he absolutely rejects that the Church is Israel and Israel is the Church. Filipinos, Negroes, and Kurds as such do not matter even if they were actual lost tribes.

Cutting right to the chase Tim's doctrine is that 144,000 pregnant women, this is the women mentioned who Tim said was also Israel, will be taken to heaven, likely on Pentecost, and give birth to 144,000 babies in the throne room of God as a first fruits offering. That means 144,000 women will have their legs spread, will scream in pain, and will excrete blood sweat and tears as they birth their children. What a disgusting picture. Can you imagine 144,000 naked or half-naked women in the throne room of God giving birth and everything that entails? How vile and abhorrent!

Again all this contradicts Tim's assertion that there is no allegory in Revelation 12. It also contradicts his previous interpretation that the woman is the nation of Israel. Now the singular woman who gives birth has two identities as the nation of Israel and as 144,000 women while the singular man-child has multiple identities as 144,000 babies.

Finally when all the travailing is over there will be the sound of 144,000 mewling infants piercing the ears of the angels and elders who surround God's throne. What a discordant cacophony will be heard in the throne room of God Himself! Tim goes on further to say these children are not sinners and will never live on earth.
60:38 They are virgins pure, have no guile in their mouth, and without fault all. Not consistent with us flawed men on earth in which Paul says Romans 3:23 all have sinned and fallen short the glory of God. Not the hundred and forty-four thousand. They have not.
This is a denial of original sin or whatever you want to call it. Sinful women give birth to sinful children. These children being humans are of necessity sinners in need of redemption through the blood of Christ. Tim denies this. In the next video he says the following:

7:40  We concluded the woman who appears in heaven is Israel. Again, not modern Israel but the true tribes of Israel. And the manchild she births in heaven is the hundred and forty-four thousand, her first fruit offering to Yahuah and Yahusha which again is what this is as she births the child there in heaven and Yahuah accepts the offering bringing them to his throne room to protect them. Look up the word redeem in Greek and you will find that it is a buying or selling that takes place in the market. 
These 144,000, this man child, male child is being offered as a first fruits offering to Yahuah and Yahusha. That is a basically same thing market transaction. Just as Yahusha redeems us from our sins right? However if you really look at this when it says redeem this is actually a perfect fit to the actual definition of the word. These children do not face death but this is very similar to the sort of Abraham and Isaac if you think about it.
First of all reducing our salvation through Christ to a "market transaction" is a horrid oversimplification of salvation which includes but is not limited to forgiveness of sins, union with Christ, Christ in us, and us becoming partakers of the divine nature. It also contradicts his previous soteriological statement "the law is what redeems us." Now we are saved through a market transaction. What need to keep the law then? And on what basis can he say our salvation can be lost? Will God get a refund on his purchase? It is absurd.

Second there is nothing about redemption anywhere in Revelation 12. The word does not appear once nor does the concept. It is truly bizarre that Tim would claim there are 144,000 humans who do not need to be redeemed by the blood of Christ.
Ephesians 1:7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace
This doctrine betrays a false anthropology. Does Tim believe men are good? That a disposition to sin is not inborn but wholly learned? In previous videos he applies Genesis 6:5, which is the classic text about man's sinfulness, to the nephilim and not to men. Either way it is pure heresy on his part to espouse this doctrine that 144,000 humans do not need redemption through the blood of Christ. Tim knows nothing of the depth of sin which caused Paul to write that we are all by nature the children of wrath.

Thus far Tim has identified the woman and the man child. Next he will identify the land to which the woman is sent after she gives birth to the man child. 

Spoiler alert: It's the Philippines!

Revelation 12: The Land That Protects The Woman. Solomon's Gold Series 13D

There are a lot of symbols to interpret when identifying this land so Tim splits this section into two videos. This first video mostly deals with the sun symbols while the next video deals with the moon and star symbols.

He starts the video off by taking great pains to connect Revelation 12 with Joseph's dream in Genesis 37 because it has a lot of the same imagery: sun, moon, and stars. Joseph's dream is a prophecy of his becoming ruler of Egypt and his family bowing down to him. It has nothing to do with Revelation whatsoever. Aside from the symbols Tim gives no justification why the connection is proper. But Tim makes the connection rather slyly saying that the sun is Jacob which means Israel. The Philippines is a lost tribe land and it has a lot of connections with the sun. He then shows us and explains much of the sun symbology surrounding the Philippines.

He starts off by explaining the allegedly prophetic symbolism of the Philippines flag and the words of the national anthem.

https://youtu.be/E-RNcBdn-GM?t=1737
28:56 So let's look here at the national flag of the Philippines. Notice the symbol of the Sun. Are there other countries that have such? Certainly there are many in fact but take a look at their national anthem Lupang Hinirang or chosen land, interesting. Land of the morning. Why? Well the Sun rises in the east and has been considered the Far East as far back as history goes really. The Orient is well recorded, even Japan is also known as the Land of the Rising Sun and it's it's parallel to the Philippines but it is not a Lost Tribe territory thus it does not fit this. But the Philippines is. 
Now read the next line though very odd, Child of the Sun returning. Wow! The first time we saw that we thought well it must be Sun God symbology yet in lieu of these findings in Revelation 12 perhaps not.
Now Tim is interpreting the Bible through Freemasonic symbology! The flag of the Philippines was designed by Emilio Aguinaldo and is replete with masonic symbology
The Hong Kong designed flag that Aguinaldo brought with him from his exile on board the US dispatch boat McCullock, and which became the official flag of the first Philippine Republic, consisted of two horizontal stripes, blue on top and red below. It had a white equilateral triangle at the hoist that is smaller than that in our flag today. Within the triangle, at its center, a mythological sun was depicted with eyebrows, eyes, nose and mouth in black, bearing eight rays without any minor ray for each, and three five-pointed stars, one at each angle of the triangle. All these devices were in gold or yellow colour.
Among the more credible assertions relied upon to establish the tie between masonry and the flag are the following:
In October 1899, Ambrocio Flores, Grand Master of the Gran Consejo Regional and at that time a general in the army of Aguinaldo, wrote letters to the Grand Lodges in the United States appealing to them to employ their influence to help the fledgling Philippine Republic. In these letters he compared the Philippine flag to the masonic banner saying, "...this national flag resembles closely our masonic banner starting from its triangular quarter to the prominent central position of its resplendent sun surrounded in its triangular position by three 5-pointed stars. Even in its three coloured background, it is the spitting image of our Venerable Institution’s banner so that when you see it in any part of the world, waving with honor amidst the flags of other nations and acknowledged by these nations, let us hope that with this flag, and through it, our common parent, Freemasonry will likewise be so honored."
In his beautiful Grand Oration pronounced in 1928, historian Teodoro M. Kalaw, Sr., uttered these words: "And the triangle appearing on the Philippine flag, the loftiest symbolism of the struggles of the Filipino people, was put there, according to President Aguinaldo, as an homage to Freemasonry."
https://freemasonry.bcy.ca/symbolism/philippine_flag.html
The original flag designed by Freemason Aguinaldo had a sun with a face on it inside a white triangle and the design was a tribute to the lodge which he belonged! In fact the entire independence movement was freemasonic in origin and spirit. Even the national anthem came about due to the Freemasons. From The Cabletow, the official magazine of Philippine Freemasonry:

https://grandlodge.ph/sites/default/files/cabletow/Cabletow2005-1.pdf
The untold story of our National Anthem is that the music and the lyrics came into being because of the inspiration and prompting of Freemasons.
The whole story can be read at the link. Remember in the first post where I noted that Tim rejects the age of Christ as being 33 because it is Freemasonic in origin? Well here he is basing much of his interpretation of Revelation 12 on symbols rooted in and originating from Philippine Freemasonry! Is he really this dumb? Yes, he is. Timothy Jay Schwab interpreting Bible prophecy through the lyrics of the Philippine national anthem is as irrational and insane as Charles Manson interpreting Bible prophecy through the lyrics of The Beatles' White Album!  In both cases it's Helter Skelter!

Hmm.  Interesting. Coincidence?

The woman, Israel, will fall from heaven to the Philippines. But she won't be free falling. She will be riding the on the wings of the great Philippine eagle.

25:11  We also know the dragon physically comes to earth after the war in heaven which is a physical war and he physically attacks the woman so this indeed plays out in a physical location on earth not in the universe nor anywhere else. This next one however is really no coincidence at all. 
When the dragon attacks the woman she is given two wings of a great Eagle that she might fly into the wilderness into her place. What is the greatest eagle on earth? Well when you see the word great it typically means the largest. What is the world's largest Eagle? Hmm. Prophecy also identifies a ravenous bird from the east in fact who rises in the last days and even the scripture they shall mount up with wings as Eagles actually appears right in the middle of a passage about the Isles of the east. Interesting. These are not arbitrary references. The largest and heaviest eagle on earth is the great Philippine eagle with a wingspan of about seven feet also known as the monkey eating eagle.
Elsewhere he is more clear and says:
13:54 It's time to read scripture as it is and allow scripture interpret Scripture and steer away from strange doctrine which has no basis in logic nor scripture. Satan and his angels are cast to the earth and he is angry because he knows he has lost access to heaven and that his time is short because see he knows prophecy, again even if we don't. He immediately goes to attack the woman with a tsunami out of his mouth. Yes literally. He's a powerful angel in yes he can do so without it needing to be allegory. Of course he fails and the woman is saved and taken to the wilderness by the great eagle's wings the Philippine eagle that is the largest on earth.
https://youtu.be/G04VePmaTc4?t=834
This ridiculous scenario is straight out of The Hobbit!


Take note that Tim does not give any reason why the eagles' wings must mean a real eagle let alone the Philippine eagle. He simply makes that leap and expects us to follow. Is a Philippine eagle large enough and strong enough to carry a human being? And where do the 144,000 women meet these eagles?  In heaven?  In the sky as they fall? The Philippine eagle is an endangered species and there are less than 500 in existence!!

https://peregrinefund.org/explore-raptors-species/eagles/philippine-eagle

Why is it endangered?  Because despite being the national bird Filipinos hunt them down and destroy their habitat! It's not even the largest eagle on earth. The term "large" is vague to begin with. What does Tim mean by large? Wingspan? Weight? Talon size?

The Guinness Book of World Records says the world's largest eagle is the Steller's Sea Eagle. National Geographic says it's the Harpy eagle. Wikipedia says this about the Philippine eagle:
It is considered the largest of the extant eagles in the world in terms of length and wing surface, with  Steller's sea eagleand the harpy eagle being larger in terms of weight and bulk.  
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippine_eagle
Even Tim's source admits that the largeness of the eagle is relative to what is being measured!
“The term largest can have different meanings,” he said while pulling out and handling the specimens one by one like a delicate baby. “The Harpy Eagle maybe the largest in terms of bulk or weight, but the Philippine Eagle is the largest in terms of wingspan and height.” There you go—confirmation from no less than Dr. Kennedy!
https://haribon.org.ph/the-largest-eagle-in-the-world/
The author of this article makes the false conclusion that Dr. Kennedy has confirmed that the Philippine eagle is the largest when he has not done so. Dr. Kennedy only confirms that the Philippine eagle is the largest in terms of wingspan and height while the harpy eagle is largest by weight! Dr. Kennedy admits "largest" is a relative term and the author of this article, just like Timothy, ignores that fact.

The Haribon article was written in 2004. The National Geographic article was written in 2020. The Guinness world record was bestowed in 2001. It appears the Wikipedia article was written in 2002. The point is there is no consensus that the Philippine eagle is the largest eagle in the world. But none of that really matters because the whole scenario of 144,000 women falling from heaven and carried by 144,000 eagles to the Philippines is patently ludicrous!

The next post will conclude this review of The God Culture's Revelation 12 series by looking at the moon and star symbols surrounding the Philippines and identifying the dragon.

The God Culture: Revelation 12 Series, Part 1: Filipinos and Negroes and Kurds, Oh My!

 

"The elusive prophecies of Revelation have been an enigma to most for several centuries at least. It seems the more we get closer to modern times the more information we have lost regarding the understanding of biblical geography and prophecy. Many times we prove this many times over on this channel and so do others but are those days changing. Are the modern Dark Ages ending? Are we in the days of increasing knowledge as predicted by Daniel or, better, is all evil being exposed with the light of truth in our lifetime? We believe we are entering those days and we believe it is time to know how to interpret Revelation12."
So says Timothy Jay Schwab of the God Culture as he begins his interpretation of Revelation 12. Be warned! It is probably the most unique and imaginative exegesis of Revelation you will ever hear. According to Tim this chapter highlights the major role played by the Philippines and Filipinos in the end times. If you have not read this chapter blow the dust off your Bible and open it up or click this link.


There are seven videos in this series each exploring a different aspect of the symbology in Revelation 12. Those symbols include a woman, a man child, a land, and a dragon. Because it is such a long series I will necessarily have to divide this review into several parts. There will be three in total.


The first video is less about Revelation 12 and more about Tim's epistemic and interpretive methods. It also serves as a rebuttal to the prophecy concerning September 23rd, 2017. How are we to interpret Revelation 12? Through astrology? No. Through the Bible of course. Scripture interprets scripture.

If Tim had only laid down that principle and said no more then there would be nothing else to comment on about this video. However Tim says many other things which further lay bare the interpretive methods he will be employing in the ensuing videos.

First of all he makes the claim that any perception of the constellations as being particular designs are a subjective connecting of the dots. They could be anything, even a television antenna.

9:42 Basically someone decided to connect the dots kind of like when we were children and yet well anyway you know in the night sky to form figures. But who did this and what figures did they draw and is there a connection between these supposed star patterns and yahuah god's interpretation of the sky or are we all basing our interpretation of Bible prophecy in modern times on a false system in the first place? 
For instance let's look at the constellation Virgo here is an illustration on a deck of constellation playing cards of Virgo so let's connect the dots on the right. Do they actually look like they form the figure of an angel? Perhaps can we look at it any other way kind of like when we look up at the clouds and the husband sees a girl but the wife sees a peanut. is it really much different for instance could it be a crab or I got it this is a prophecy in the sky of the rabbit ears TV antenna! Of course that’s silly and yes we do mean to mock because you can connect these dots thousands and millions and trillions of ways. In fact this is just cherry picking some of the stars within the constellation's star field.  You could probably form just about anything you want but, see, those who formed these patterns oh this is what they wanted. So the whole thing is subjective because it's a religion not a science.
Tim's claim that the designs of the constellations are subjective hooey "because it's a religion not a science" is very important to remember. I will be returning to this as I examine the claims made in other videos.

He then goes on to discuss an artifact which he claims is Babylonian and related to the Zoroastrian religion.

21:02 Here is a Babylonian cylinder seal dated approximately 6,000 years ago. No, we do not believe the date but ancient nevertheless from ancient Sumeria or Sumer Babylon. Whether the dating is 5500 years or 4,500 years or whatever it’s really old and precedes the days of Abraham and that's what is important as a marker here. These are basically Zoroastrian Magi who are astrologers yes astrology is part of their doctrine and yes they do look oddly familiar to rabbis don't they? Hmm. Not going to cover that in this video. 
We have zoomed in on the portion above the head of the astrologer. Does this look familiar to you? Are we looking at the origin of theories of the likes of Copernicus, Galileo etc thousands of years before they existed? How did they know 6,000 years ago or whatever that the Sun was center of the solar system with planets revolving around it and they even knew they were spheres balls? Hmm. Babylonian history does not generally support this as an empire-wide belief by the way so this is an elite secret society represented in this seal. This is their secret knowledge not that of the Babylonian people.
What a gross and ignorant misinterpretation of this seal. First of all it is Sumerian and not Babylonian. Secondly Zoroaster did not appear on the scene until around 600 BC which is over a thousand years after Abraham so his timeframe is off by a huge margin. Thirdly he bizarrely connects this seal with Copernicus and Galilieo and their heliocentrism calling it the secret knowledge of an elite secret society. Nothing he says about this seal is correct except that it is very old.

It would seem from the fact that Tim uses this seal coupled with his claim in other videos that Cain likely built Tenochtitlan that he is using Zechariah Sitchin as a source for his "research."  Zechariah Sitchin is wrong in all of his fantastic conclusions just like Tim yet he employs Sitchin's interpretation of the seal. It could be just a coincidence but perhaps not. A far more correct interpretation of this seal which incorporates all the images, not just the stars, plus the cuneiform inscriptions can be found here:

http://www.sitchiniswrong.com/VA243seal.pdf

For five minutes Tim disparages heliocentrism claiming that the Bible teaches and the ancients taught a flat-earth yet he has the nerve to say that he is not advocating the flat-earth!
25:18 The Bible is clear that the ancients believed in basically a flat round disc with a dome ceiling the firmament set on pillars with four corners. Even now even science and history agree with that as the ancient cosmological belief system of the writers of the Bible and most of the world in fact all the way up until around say the 15, 1600s or so. However the most ancient of cults after the flood the, Babylonians, this secret society on the cylinder seal who were judged by Yahuwah God at the Tower of Babel, according to this cylinder seal already believed in heliocentrism, you know the Sun is the center of the solar system and sphere planets orbiting, thousands of years before modern science embraced this religious belief as fact. 
Now we are not weighing in on the Flat Earth debate. We are not a Flat Earth channel. Not one of our topics. But in ancient times that was the lay of the land as far as the ancients knew and don't let anyone tell you different. Our desire here is to be biblically correct and that is what matters and when you don't understand that fact then many times it's very easy to misinterpret the Bible. We're not saying which is correct but we are correcting history which is being misrepresented by some scholars even some from Hebrew University
How disingenuous. The Bible teaches a flat-earth, Tim wants to be biblically correct, yet Tim is not saying the earth is flat. Could he be more deceptive? If Tim wants to be biblically correct and the bible teaches a flat earth then he obviously believes in a flat earth. I have dealt with this issue elsewhere and proven that Timothy Jay Schwab is indeed a flat earther.

He then continues to discuss the constellations and what the Bible has to say about them. It should be pointed out that when Tim talks about using the Bible he does not mean what most everyone else means which is the Old Testament and the New Testament and perhaps the apocrypha. No. He means the Dead Sea Scrolls plus the New Testament.  If a book is in the OT but was not found at Qumran it is not scripture.  That is why he rejects Esther. Likewise if a book is not in the OT but was found at Qumran it is scripture. That is why he accepts Jubilees and Enoch as scripture. He does not only accept these books but he interprets the rest of the OT and NT through their pages. He has a few videos on this topic which I have already reviewed.

His discussion about the constellations in the Bible brings him to Job 38 where the Pleiades, Orion, Arcturus, and Mazzaroth are all mentioned. Tim says these are not actually constellations but imprisoned fallen watcher angels.
42:55 Job is not a reference to constellations by Yuhuah god when you read the entire passage. It is a reminder to Job of Yahuah God's strength and might from Yahuah himself in answer to Job's supplication. He is pointing out the watchers whom he imprisoned easily and challenges Job can any man free them Job knew the answer was no one could.
Tim comes to this conclusion by ignoring the entire context of Job 38 and a convoluted application of the book of Enoch. The context of this chapter is God rebuking Job asking him if he can control the activities of the heavens and the earth. This includes rain, snow, hail, the seas, the morning, and the course of the stars. The literal stars! Why would God break the context of his speech and start talking about wicked angels? It makes no sense. And it contradicts what Tim said earlier about constellation shapes being wholly subjective. Now these constellations are fallen watcher angels whom God imprisoned.

In the midst of his discussion about Job Tim says the following concerning the phrase "Sweet influences of the Pleiades" in Job 38:31
36:50 Someone's been toying around justifying astrology inserting Kabbalah and Babylonian doctrine into the word that's what's happening here.
Tim claims the Bible has been corrupted with Kabbalah and Babylonian doctrine. Someone has inserted lies into the text. God has not preserved his word after all. If that's true then what is the point of continuing to use the Bible? Tim has just confessed it is not a reliable text. He might as well abandon it.

Before ending this video Tim informs us that the following videos will be a revelation from the Holy Spirit which will blow our minds.
60:10 And the end of this video or this next video is going to unveil yet another revelation that blows our mind because we find the Philippines in Revelation 12 and we'll show we’ll show you. You need to see this. Let's read the rest of the chapter though and we'll give you our fresh interpretation as we believe the Holy Spirit has revealed. We admit we have never heard anything like this before but see if you agree and it makes sense and that it matches Scripture.
Tim ends this video by telling us that his interpretation of Revelation 12 is not something that springs from his own head but is a revelation from the Holy Spirit. But then he says "see if you agree and it makes sense." Asking people to test his revelation from the Holy Spirit as he does many times in the following videos negates any possibility that Tim has had an actual revelation from the Holy Spirit. Such a revelation should be accepted on its own authority. Isaiah, John the Baptist, Jesus, Moses, they all spake with authority and not with the wishy-washiness which Tim speaks. 

Oddly enough Tim will say later that he cannot prove his interpretation of Revelation 12 the same way he could prove his claims in his Solomon's Gold and Lost Tribes videos because it is prophecy and not geography. If his teaching is a revelation from the Holy Spirit then that is complete nonsense. Any genuine revelation from the Holy Spirit should not need qualifications or Tim's feeble attempts at proof.

We see Tim's foundation for interpreting Revelation 12 rests upon the same techniques as in his other videos. Misinterpreting history and artifacts, ignoring the context of the scriptures, relying on false scriptures, bizarre allegations of conspiracies to cover up truth, and unfounded connections between things. This is what Tim is going to build on. And he wants us to trust him? Of course not! That's why he says test if what he is saying is true or not.

In the second video of this series Tim reveals the identity of the woman in Revelation 12.


She is Israel. That interpretation is rather benign except one has to remember that when Tim talks about Israel he means Filipinos, Negroes, and Kurds. Those people groups form the lost tribes and constitute true Israel.

Filipinos and Negroes and Kurds, Oh my!

Another thing to keep in mind is that Tim says everything in this passage is "physical." There is no allegory here. The woman is a real woman. The man child is a real man child. The land is a real land and etc. The man child is also not Jesus because he is born in heaven while Jesus was born on earth.
29:51 Yahushua was born on earth and lived on earth for about thirty-nine years. No, not the Freemasonic magic number of 33 which does not fit scripture. We prove that in “When was Jesus born” and yes we can know the day, month, and year because Luke specifically identifies it and he is not wrong. 
Actually Luke says in chapter 3 that Jesus was 30 years old when he started his ministry and from the events in the Gospels we get a three year ministry. Ergo Christ died when he was thirty-three no matter what year he was born. We will be returning to Freemasonry later in part 2.
30:14 So this child is born and stays in heaven. He is physically a physical child or really children which we will prove out and the woman also and the dragon are real characters not euphemisms. The woman physically fled into the wilderness and was physically fed there and physically attacked by Satan with a physical tsunami a physical event which the earth opens up in swallows physically protecting the travailing woman. Protecting the tribes of Israel in the land prepared for them by Yahuah. Another physical land. It’s all there in this passage and it's not allegory in essence.
Except Tim interprets everything allegorically. The woman is actually the entire nation of Israel composed of Filipinos, Negroes, and Kurds and not a singular female human! The man child is really the 144,000 mentioned in Revelation 7 and 14. That means the woman is also 144,000 women who give birth to 144,000 children in the throne room of God! All of that will be explained in the next post.

At this place here I should take the time to point out that because Tim identifies Israel as being only literal bloodline descendants of Jacob he runs into a lot of problems. His foundation is false. The church is Israel and vice-versa. Stephen even calls the wandering nation of Israel the church in the wilderness.
Acts 7:37 This is that Moses, which said unto the children of Israel, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear. 
38 This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him in the mount Sina, and with our fathers: who received the lively oracles to give unto us:
Paul tells us in Galatians that it is Christ who is the true seed of Abraham and all the promises are fulfilled in him.  Seed as of one and not as of many writes Paul. Thus the church inherits all the promises made to Abraham because they are in Christ and are thus the true Israel.

The Christian Tradition vol 1, Jaroslav Pelikan
The church, therefore, was the inheritor of the promises and prerogatives of the Jews. "Just as Christ is Israel and Jacob, so we who have been quarried out from the bowels of Christ are the true Israelitic race," the "third Israel” spoken of in Isaiah. Likewise, the church was now "the synagogue of God," "those who believe in" Christ having become "one soul, and one synagogue, and one church." Not the old Israel, but the church had the right to call Abraham its father, to style itself "the chosen people," and to look forward to inheriting the promised land. No title for the church in early Christianity is more comprehensive than the term "the people of God," which originally meant "the new Israel" but gradually lost this connotation as the Christian claim to be the only true people of God no longer had to be substantiated. 
Tim does not believe any of that. For all his saying that gentiles can be grafted into Israel Tim is adamant that they remain separate entities.
39:05 So who are the two olive trees? Well they are the tribes of Israel the twelve tribes that's one olive tree and the second olive tree is the ekklesia of Messiah.
Two Witnesses of Revelation Explained. This Will Rock Your World. Ophir, Sheba, Tarshish
One tree is Israel and one tree is the Church. That is wholly anti-biblical which teaches that there is one body of Christ.  God only has one people, not two.

Like all of Tim's videos there is a lot going on and there is no way to cover it all. The main thing that needs to be understood from this video is that the woman is the nation of Israel aka the lost tribes which is composed solely of Filipinos, Negroes, and Kurds. This interpretation contradicts Tim's assertion that there is no allegory in this passage. The woman is an allegory for an entire nation and not a singular woman. Next we will look at the identity of the man-child whom she births in heaven.

If you are wondering how all this connects to the Philippines just wait. You'll see in the next post.

The God Culture: AI "Music" is Actually A Vessel of Light Through the Holy Spirit

Timothy Jay Schwab who is The God Culture is now also Foundations Echo Collective. On November 19th, 2025 he released his first full length ...
