The God Culture: 100 Lies About the Philippines: Lie #20: The Mosaic Law Will Be Reestablished in the Philippines In the End Times

Welcome back to 100 lies the God Culture teaches about the Philippines. Today's lie concerns the end game of Timothy Jay Schwab's fake history about the Philippines. Tim teaches that because the Philippines is Ophir, Tarshish, the land of creation, etc, that means these islands play a special part in prophecy. To wit, the Mosaic Law will be reestablished in the Philippines in the end times. 

As we shall see this is not simply another lie but it is a total repudiation of the Gospel and of Jesus Christ.

21:08 This is why Yahusha said this land will restore his law. This land will rise against the final generation (kingdom?). It's why Isaiah said His law will be restored in this land. Why just the Philippines? It's not just the Philippines, it's the land of creation, the land of the Garden of Eden, the land of his Holy of Holies. His presence is here. You know, one thing you wonder and a lot of the world wonders and, I don't know, I'm sure there's studies that show somebody else somewhere, to me Filipinos are the happiest people on earth. At some point you've been conquered and raped and stolen from and all of these things in history in the last 400 years or so and yet you're still the happiest people on earth. Why? Because you are just above the Holy of Holies above Yahuah. That's why. Wow.

This scenario is described in much greater detail in the final chapter of Tim's book The Search For King Solomon's Treasure.

By 1599, Ophir, now called the Philippines christened after their Babylonian ruler, acquiesced and officially recognized the conquest of it’s inhabitants and thus, the Estate of Adam was transplanted and usurped illegally. The citizenry who was once so prosperous and blessed would now watch the Estate of Adam being eroded and used to fund the rise of the beast from the headquarters of the prince demon named Gog in Western and Central Europe (Ez. 38-39). This was foretold by the prophets and Messiah. However, this is not the end of this story but the onset of what will become the new beginning of all things to which this populace will find themselves central. The empire struck back but the jedi shall return – not the occult mind-melting form of Hollywood but the righteous priests of the East who will execute His counsel (Is. 41:1-2 and 9, Is. 46:11).

In the transition into the twenty-first century, this 400-year curse is coming to an end. Sheba who had been subdued will now rise up and judge her conquerors (Matt. 12:42) as well as Gog (Ez. 38:13). Joined by Tarshish (Ez. 38:13, Is. 60:9) and the Isles of the East in Ophir, united in purpose, this nation will usher in the return of the Lost Tribes of Israel it protects (Is. 60:9). They will see the restoration of the Estate of Adam seven-fold as the thief has been found (Prov. 6:31). It will again become a protected land (Rev. 12:15-16) who will first repent of it’s abandoning Yahuah and it’s role (Is. 41:3-5). This people will then restore the ways of Yahuah in His Sabbath (Is. 41:3-5) and the Cagayan Feasts (Chaggayah: חגיח: Feast of Yah) which first began in this region of Sebu. They will reinstate His law and commands (Is. 42:4, Is. 60:9) and return to a place of judging righteously in Him (Is. 41:1-2, Is. 46:11) and then, the Philippines will see the reinstatement of Adam’s priestly line of judges (Is. 42:4, Is. 41:1-2, Is. 46:11, Ez. 38:13, Matt. 12:42).

All of the inhabitants of these isles at the end of the earth shall sing a new song of worship (Is. 42:10). As a people, it will condemn this Babylonian sorcery publicly and openly with vigor (Matt. 12:42, Luke 11:30, Ez. 38:13). For this is the last stand where a standard will be raised which even the beast system can no longer penetrate (Rev. 12:15- 16). Together, with Nineveh (modern Kurdistan), these isles will rise up in judgment as the two witnesses sending prophets from among them to Jerusalem in the last days (Matt. 12:41-42, Rev. 11). The question is, will you be among them? Or will you stand in their way?

The Search for King Solomon's Treasure, pgs 347 - 348

As you can see there is much happening in this piece of end times fiction. But I only want to focus on the part about Filipinos reinstating the law and then sending prophets, or representatives of Adam's priestly line of judges, to Jerusalem to condemn the New World Order.

We will observe this pattern continuously in these scriptures. These isles in the East will judge the New World Order and the final generation not on Judgment Day but now. In order to become a judge one must have an adherence to the law or they have no measure by which to judge. Wait til you find out Yahuah will restore His law in this archipelago. 

The Search for King Solomon's Treasure, pg. 245

But first we must understand what Tim means by the Estate of Adam. Except for brief hints in his book The Search for King Solomon's Treasure Tim does not tell us anything about what this means. But he does have a video devoted to the subject. 

The Estate of Adam: Solomon's Gold 2i. 100 Clues#50.

:28 In delving into even further research we began to understand even better the purpose of all of this see this gold of Ophir along with all the other resources of this land really ancient Havilah representing Adam's Estate, his inheritance to his people. Yes, he inherited the entire earth but he lived, he inhabited the Philippines. When we hear things like the possible Marco's gold return, which we cannot verify any amounts especially, but listen to what is being said because it's very odd the gold will be for the world. Well, why? Friends this is from Adams's Estate the modern Philippines occupies his homeland and they are caretakers of this gold. 

The gist is that Adam and Eve were exiled from the Garden of Eden to the Philippines after they had sinned. According to Tim that makes the Philippines Adam's Estate and the current occupants, Filipinos, are caretakers of Adam's gold. That is pure fantasy not to be found in the Bible or in any extra-Biblical or apocryphal texts. We will come back to this in just a moment.  

Now let's take a look at Tim's claim that the Philippines will reinstate the law of God in the end times. By God's law Tim means the entire Mosaic Law but without sacrifices which is rather nonsensical because the law stands or falls as a whole. Now, we can know this is a huge lie because the Mosaic law will NEVER be restored in any land or nation. We know this because Jesus Christ has come and fulfilled all things. Paul tells us the purpose of the law was to lead us to Christ.

Galatians 3:23 But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.

24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.

This is basic Christianity right here. The law brings us to Christ and now through faith in Him we are no longer under the law. We are brought under the law of faith and justified apart from the deeds of the law.

Romans 3:27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.

28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.

The law of Moses is contrasted with the dispensation of Christ being called the ministration of death and condemnation.

2 Corinthinans  3:7  But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away:

8 How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious?

9 For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.

Why would God ever want to restore the ministration of death and condemnation when Jesus has come, fulfilled all things, and given us the ministration of the Spirit? He would not and to think otherwise is not only ludicrous but is to blaspheme Jesus Christ and everything he did. 

So, the first thing the Philippines does is restore the Mosaic Law. Tim might bristle at that name because he teaches, per the Book of Jubilees, that Adam was given the same law in the Garden of Eden which Moses was given on Mt. Sinai. But the Bible expressly refutes this notion.

Galatians 3:17 And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.

This is another reason the Book of Jubilees is not scripture. Galatians contradicts Jubilees so clearly that any sane and truthful person cannot but admit what is so plain. The law was not given to Adam but to Moses 430 years after the promise was given to Abraham. 

Now let's talk about "Adam's priestly line of judges." The verses Tim refers to are Is. 42:4, Is. 41:1-2, Is. 46:11, Ez. 38:13, Matt. 12:42. But none of those verses, each of which has been grossly wrested from its context, say anything remotely about "Adam's priestly line of judges." In fact, the Bible never speaks of such a thing. There is now only ONE priest and He is Jesus Christ who is a priest after the order of Melchizedek and not Levi. Along with this changing of the priesthood comes a changing of the law. 

Hebrews 6:20 Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

Hebrews 7:11 If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?

12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.

In his book Rest: The Case for Sabbath Tim tries to get around this by stating that the Order of Melchsidec is an ancient order that mirrors the law of Moses and that this law which the Order of Melchsidec promulgated is what made Abraham righteous.

He then, continues with a section titled “The Mosaic rites” (9:1) and you well know that is the Old Testament. He calls it the “first covenant” yet he parallels the new covenant as Messiah is our High Priest now replacing the Levite order with the ancient order (not a new one) of Melchizedek to which Abraham tithed. That was not just a foreshadowing of his tithe to Jesus(Yahusha), it is a testament that Abraham had a Law to follow which is how he was judged righteous and that was under the Order of Melchizedek to which we have returned as it is not new.

The covenant is new indeed but the Law is not. It never has been. Otherwise, there would be no measure in Abraham’s day to determine his righteousness with right or Law. It is that ancient Priestly Order of Melchizedek to which we have returned in this new covenant. This largely mirrors the Law of Moses as well as that applicable from the days of Adam, Enoch and Noah and you will find this in the words of our Messiah over and over again. 

Rest: The Case for Sabbath, pg. 18

This is another area where Tim goes wrong. Abraham was never declared righteous because he kept the law but because he believed the word of God!

Genesis 15:16 And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness.

Paul uses this very scripture in Romans 4 to argue that keeping the law does not make us righteous. 

Romans 4:1 What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found?

2 For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereofto glory; but not before God.

3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, andit was counted unto him for righteousness.

4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned ofgrace, but of debt.

5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.

Further undoing this fiction of "Adam's priestly line of judges" is the fact that Jesus Christ is the second Adam who came to undo what the first Adam did.

Romans 5:14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.

1 Corinthians 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

1 Corinthians 15:45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.

There simply is no "reinstatement of Adam's priestly line of judges." What need would there be for that? Christ has come and he has taken the place of the old Adam. In the old Adam we all die but in Christ we are made alive. Why go back to the old Adam? This is another denial of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The world does indeed stand condemned not by the Mosaic law but by the Holy Spirit. 

John 16:7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you

8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;

10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;

11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.

The world stands condemned even now at this very moment as it rejects Jesus Christ. 

So, there you have it. Tim's prophecy of the Philippines amounts to this: In the end times Filipinos will reestablish the ministry of condemnation and death rejecting the ministry of the spirt and the gospel of Jesus Christ. What kind of prophecy is that? The Testimony Of Jesus is the Spirit of Prophecy and there is nothing about Jesus in this alleged prophecy of restoring the law. 

This is the Christ rejecting, blasphemous, end time scenario Tim envisions for the Philippines. I hope you can see how wrong it is on every level. The Mosaic law will not be restored anywhere by anyone at any time because Jesus Christ has come. The law leads us to Christ who has fulfilled all things. Our salvation comes not from keeping the feasts or the sabbath or any part of the law but only from faith in Christ. We are made righteous in Him apart from the deeds of the law. This idea that the Mosaic Law will be reestablished in the Philippines in the end times is another lie from Timothy Jay Schwab of The God Culture. 

The God Culture: 100 Lies About the Philippines: Lie #19 The Spanish Wanted Revenge for the Death of Magellan

Welcome back to 100 lies the God Culture teaches about the Philippines. Today's lie concerns the mission of Legazpi in the Philippines. Timothy Jay Schwab says Legazpi was out to get revenge for the natives killing of Magellan. As we shall see this is another of Tim's many lies. 

As with every single lie The God Culture vomits the truth can be found if one simply reads the documents Tim claims to have read. 

SATAN'S TRICK EXPOSED. Sto. Nino Is NOT Jesus. Prophetic Warning 5

5:15 "We stopped at an island where Magellan, Magellan's men were killed." 

Where's that? That is Mactan, not Cebu. Get that? In other words Lapu-Lapu island that's where they are in this narrative. He then writes:

"We landed our men and disposed the artillery of the ships." 

They were attacking Mactan in response to their killing Magellan before of course. 

"Which were close to the houses of the town so that the firing of the artillery from the said ships in the arquebuses on land drove the enemy away but we were unable to capture any of them."

Imagine that. 

"Because they had their fleet ready for the sea." 

Smart Filipinos they were expecting this. 

Oddly enough this fake history that the Spanish wanted revenge for the death of Magellan did not make it  into Tim's book The Search for Solomon's Treasure. You will not find it in any book anywhere because it did not happen. 

According to Tim the purpose of Legazpi sailing to Cebu, and it is Cebu not Mactan as I proved in a previous article, was to get revenge for the killing of Magellan. The natives were even expecting such an attack. Of course this is all false. Let's read what really happened. Arriving in Cebu Legazpi sent several men ashore to reassure the natives that they came in peace and friendship.

They were to assure the people that I did not come to do them any harm, but on the contrary to show them every favor, and to cultivate their friendship. Three times this announcement was made to them, with all the signs and kind words possible to win their friendship. But at length - seeing that all our good intentions were of no avail, and that all the natives had put on their wooden corselets and rope armor and had armed themselves with their lances, shields, small cutlasses, and arrows; and that many plumes and varicolored headdresses were waving; and that help of men had come in praus from the outside, so that their number must be almost two thousand warriors; and considering that now was the time for us to make a settlement and effect a colony, and that the present port and location were exactly suited to our needs, and that it was useless for us to wait any longer; and seeing that there was no hope for peace, and that they did not wish it, although we had offered it - the master-of-camp said to the natives through an interpreter: "Since you do not desire our friendship, and will not receive us peacefully, but are anxious for war, wait until we have landed; and look to it that you act as men, and defend yourselves from us, and guard your houses." 

The Indians answered boldly: "Be it so! Come on! We await you here." And thereupon they broke out into loud cries, covering themselves with their shields and brandishing their lances. Then they returned to the place whence they had set out, hurling their lances by divisions of threes at the boat, and returning again to their station, going and coming as in a game of cafias." Our men got ready and left the ships in boats; and as the boats left the ships for the shore, in accordance with the order given them, some shots were fired from the ships upon the multitude of praus anchored near a promontory, as well as at the landsmen upon shore, and upon the town. But, although they had showed so great a desire for war, when they heard the artillery and saw its effects, they abandoned their village without waiting for battle, and fled through the large, beautiful, and fertile open fields that are to be seen in this region. 

The Philippine Islands, Vol 2, pgs 212- 214

After the battle ended the Santo Niño was found by a soldier rifling through houses. A Mass was said and then Legazpi once again assured the natives that they came in friendship in the name of the King of Castille and he pardoned them for the death of Magellan. 

" After the mass and the sermon, the general went to treat with the king for friendship, telling him that we came thither for the King of Castilla, whose land this was, who had sent other people here before, and that they had been killed - as, for instance, Magallanes (and when Magallanes was mentioned, the king was much disturbed); but that he pardoned everything, on condition that you be his friends."

The Philippine Islands, Vol 2, pgs 128

That statement is an extract from documents not included in full in the Philippine Islands series but is part of a synopsis of documents which can be found in Spanish. The editors tell us:

 [The following synopsis is made from documents published in Col. doc. ined. Ultramar, tomos ii and iii, entitled De las Islas Filipinas. Concerning these documents the following interesting statements are taken from the editorial matter in tomo ii.

The Philippine Islands, Vol 2, pgs 77

The original Spanish text can be found on page 424 of Colección de documentos inéditos de ultramar.

Colección de documentos inéditos de ultramar

That means there is much more to this story than is to be found in this massive set of books known as The Philippine Islands or on shoddy websites like ancientphilippines.blogspot.com. Don't forget Tim acknowledges that blog as a major source for his fake history. 

The Lequios of Luzon: Key to Finding Ophir and Chryse. Clue #52

21:19 For a while now we have used definition for the Hebrew for this word from ancient Philippines blogspot. We, in the beginning in fact, we tried to quote local sources and you'll see in the description box we mentioned those guys. We also mentioned Bob's blog as well. It's all there. It's been there for three years. We've always, you know, given them some credit and those are worth reading because really that's where we started with the history portion. We started reading their stuff and then we started branching out from there. Yes, we verified everything that we could and if there was something that we couldn't verify such as the gold found in first century Egypt as easily we took it from numerous sources so we felt pretty good with it and went with it and turns out it's proving to be fine as a reference. So far our sources by the way check out to be very good.

Actually his sources check out to be not very good at all. Timothy Jay Schwab knows nothing of the real history of the Spanish in the Philippines because he is such a poor researcher that not only has he not read the books he cites but he has not even looked for the information that is more important such as that contained in the Spanish archives. 

The God Culture: 100 Lies About the Philippines: Lie #18 Filipinos Rejected the Santo Niño

Welcome back to 100 lies the God Culture teaches about the Philippines. Today's lie concerns the Santo Niño which Magellan gifted to the natives of Cebu. Timothy Jay Schwab says after Magellan was killed they rejected that statue. As we shall see this is another of Tim's many lies. 

This is another lie that is easily disproved if one reads the sources rather than cherrypick them for quotes. Magellan gave the King of Cebu the Santo Niño. Tim says when Magellan was killed Lapulapu took the statue as a trophy of war to Mactan and it was never worshipped.

SATAN'S TRICK EXPOSED. Sto. Nino Is NOT Jesus. Prophetic Warning 5

4:04 Now, what happened to this Santo Nino child after that? Well, they record it. Cebu didn't even keep it. It turns out according to the letter from the royal officials, that's people like Legaspi and all of the the different captains and generals and whatever titles of the Philippines, so, the Spanish royal officials that is, riding from Cebu in 1565, this is their actual letter translated into English as published in the encyclopedia series called the Philippines, uh the Philippine Islands, this is volume 2 number 55. About as credible and widely published as a history can get in fact and by the way so is Pigafetta's journal we which we used before it sits in the British Museum, the Italian Museum, and Yale University to this day. This is real history. Your textbook? Not so much. Now, let's read their actual words here. 

"We stopped at an island where Magellan, Magellan's men were killed." 

Where's that? That is Mactan, not Cebu. Get that? In other words Lapu-Lapu island that's where they are in this narrative. He then writes:

"We landed our men and disposed the artillery of the ships." 

They were attacking Mactan in response to their killing Magellan before of course. 

"Which were close to the houses of the town so that the firing of the artillery from the said ships in the arquebuses on land drove the enemy away but we were unable to capture any of them."

Imagine that. 

"Because they had their fleet ready for the sea." 

Smart Filipinos they were expecting this. 

"They abandoned their houses and we found in them nothing," hear that? "Nothing except an image of the Child Jesus and two culverins one of iron and one of bronze." Hmm. "Which can be of no service to us. It is believed that they were brought here at the time of Magellan."

This is the Santo Nino. Did you get this? The Santo Nino that Magellan brought the same one that is enshrined in the bulletproof glass paraded around on Santo Nino day as Jesus. It was not found in Cebu so Cebu shouldn't even be keeping this festival. And the other people were not worshiping it. Cebu was not worshiping it. It wasn't there. It was found with Lapu-Lapu's people on Mactan, you know the ones who rejected first and killed Magellan. It was likely given to Lapu-Lapu as a sort of trophy for his role which inspired the king of Cebu to follow and kill Barbosa and the other leaders. It was not being worshipped and what a statement. Everything was removed from these houses, got that? Everything except this Santo Nino and two other gifts that Magellan had given and not to Mactan and Lapu-Lapu, no, these are gifts Magellan gave to the king of Cebu and the Queen. The king of Cebu and his people rejected Catholicism. They did not worship this statue. Yeah there was a three week or so period but that was it. In the end they rejected and Lapu-Lapu people most certainly did not worship it.

In fact even here 40 years later they left it sitting there with just to culverins that's it nothing else. This was a statement saying this is not ours you can have it back. If they worshipped it or if it had any value they would have taken it with them. After all, the Spanish would not have even expected to find a statue among the inhabitants of Mactan of all places as they are the ones who rebelled first. Nothing in the narrative fits what we're being told.

Tim says the same thing in his book The Search for King Solomon's Treasure. 

Solomon's Gold, pg. 257

Not only was this a wholesale repudiation of Magellan, Barbosa and everything European including their religion and their King, but when the Spanish returned to Mactan forty years later in 1565, Filipinos there were not worshipping the Santo Niño idol left behind.

“We stopped at an island where Magallanes’s men were killed...”

As we have just said, they declared that not only they would not give us anything, but that they were willing to fight us. Thus we were forced to accept the challenge. We landed our men and disposed the artillery of the ships, which were close to the houses of the town, so that the firing of the artillery from the said ships and the arquebuses on land drove the enemy away; but we were unable to capture any of them, because they had their fleet ready for the sea. They abandoned their houses, and we found in them nothing except an image of the child Jesus, and two culverins, one of iron and one of bronze, which can be of no service to us; it is believed that they were brought here at the time of Magallanes.” 

–Letter from Royal Officials of Filipinas from Cubu, 1665

The inhabitants of Mactan took everything from their houses of value and fled except very minor items. All that remained from their houses was two culverins and the Santo Nino idol left by Magellan in Cebu. He did not leave this idol in Mactan. Perhaps Lapu Lapu secured it from the King of Zubu as a trophy of sort. However, there is zero evidence this statue was worshipped that entire time between 1521 and 1565 in Mactan. In fact, the people of Mactan were sending a message in leaving behind practically only this one thing. They did not worship it and stating “we think you left something when you were here last.”

This letter is in a book of other documents about the same events. It is a brief description of the Spaniards landing in Cebu and finding the Santo Niño. From the very book Tim quotes, The Philippine Islands, 1493-1803, Volume II, 1521-1569, we read the following:

The fleet set sail for Cebú, where after landing they found the village deserted. Legazpi ordered that each mess of four soldiers should take one house and the rest of the houses be destroyed. Everything was removed from the houses before any were destroyed. The general ordered that a thick set palisade of stakes be built, including therein a few wells of fresh water. "This village was built in triangular shape, with two water-fronts and one land side." The artillery was placed to defend the coast, while the Spaniards relied on the palisade for protection on the land side, until the fort could be built. Companies were sent out to scour the country for food, and "always brought back fowl, hogs, rice, and other things … and some good gold." The natives to the number of one hundred came to make peace one day. "In this town when we entered we found therein a child Jesus. A sailor named Mermeo found it. It was in a wretched little house, and was covered with a white cloth in its cradle, and its little bonnet quite in order. The tip of its nose was rubbed off somewhat, and the skin was coming off the face. The friars took it and carried it in procession on a feast day, from the house where it was found to the church that they had built."

Mactan is RIGHT NEXT TO CEBU. It would not be surprising if these new arrivals mixed up Mactan and Cebu. In fact Legazpi makes this same conflation in this very volume.

https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/13280/pg13280.html

in that part where the men of Magallanes were killed, called the island of Cubu

In fact Legazpi is even more direct in his letters about this Child Jesus being found in Cebu.

From this village of Cubu, I have despatched the ship with the father prior [Urdaneta] and my grandson, Phelipe de Zauzedo, with a long relation of the things which I boldly write here to your excellency. They will inform his majesty at length, as persons who have been eyewitnesses of all especially of what has taken place here, the state of the new settlement, and the arrangements made for everything.

And because it is worth knowing, and so that your excellency may understand that God, our Lord, has waited in this same place, and that he will be served, and that pending the beginning of the extension of his holy faith and most glorious name, he has accomplished most miraculous things in this western region, your excellency should know that on the day when we entered this village one of the soldiers went into a large and well-built house of an Indian, where he found an image of the child Jesus (whose most holy name I pray may be universally worshiped). This was kept in its cradle, all gilded, just as it was brought from España; and only the little cross which is generally placed upon the globe in his hand was lacking. This image was well kept in that house, and many flowers were found before it, no one knows for what object or purpose. The soldier bowed before it with all reverence and wonder, and brought the image to the place where the other soldiers were. I pray the holy name of this image which we have found here, to help us and to grant us victory, in order that these lost people who are ignorant of the precious and rich treasure which was in their possession, may come to a knowledge of him.

The Philippine Islands, Vol 2, pgs 214- 216

He is also wrong that the natives did not worship the Santo Niño. They admitted they did so. Antonio Morga writes the following about Legazpi's mission to the Philippines and the finding of the Santo Niño.

He continued his voyage until reaching the island of Sebu, where he anchored, induced by the convenience of a good port and by the nature of the land. At first he was received peacefully by the natives and by their chief Tupas; but later they tried to kill him and his companions, for the Spaniards having seized their provisions, the natives took up arms against the latter; but the opposite to their expectations occurred, for the Spaniards conquered and subdued them. Seeing what had happened in Sebu, the natives of other neighboring islands came peacefully before the adelantado, rendered him homage, and supplied his camp with a few provisions. The first of the Spanish settlements was made in that port, and was called the city of Sanctisimo Nombre de Jesus [Most holy name of Jesus], because a carved image of Jesus had been found in one of the houses of the natives when the Spaniards conquered the latter, which was believed to have been left there by the fleet of Magallanes. The natives held the image in great reverence, and it wrought miracles for them in times of need. The Spaniards placed it in the monastery of St. Augustine, in that city.

History of the Philippines, Antonio Morga

It is simply not true that the Santo Niño was not found in Cebu or that it was not worshipped. To this day its finding in Cebu is celebrated every year by devotees and the people continue to pray to it for miracles. Timothy Jay Schwab's claim to the contrary is another lie he teaches about the history of the Philippines. 

The God Culture: 100 Lies About the Philippines: Lie #17: Filipinos Are Described as Big, Bearded White Men

Welcome back to 100 lies The God Culture teaches about the Philippines. Once more the subject is the Lequios Islands. Timothy Jay Schwab claims that the Leqouis Islands is the Philippines and that in an old Spanish document they are described as big, bearded white men. As we shall see it is another lie.

In Solomon's gold Part 6 Tim says:

Solomon's Gold Series - Part 6: Little Known History of Ophir. Philippines History

9:12 According to Colleccion General de Documentos Relativos Islas Filipinas, you might need to correct our Spanish there, document number 98 the Lucoes were big, bearded, and white men. they were only interested in gold and silver when trading at ophir. General Legazpi wrote, "the ships of the Lucoes were always laden with gold and silver," thus targets of the Spanish. 

These are big, bearded white men the Phoenicians. In other words Hiram King of Tyre which was part of Phoenicia whom King Solomon hired to sail to Ophir to get gold and other resources. So if these distinctive looking men came to your land, might you remember them? Yep? Might you name an island after them and their trade? Perhaps. They are the Lucoes in which Luzon is named because that was the capital of Ophir where the Lucoes lived and traded. Yet another tie to the story of Solomon, the Queen of Sheba, Ophir, and Tarshish. .Imagine that.

In his book The Search for King Solomon's Treasure Tim says the same thing.

Solomon's Treasure, pg. 163

Collecion General de Documentos Relativos a las Islas Filipinas, Document #98 mentions the Lequios were “big, bearded, and white men.” They traded “gold and silver.” 

This appears to throw a wrench into this entire narrative in history perhaps. How could Filipinos be big, bearded, white men? That is not a description of the Japanese either. This is an ancient residual reference to Solomon’s navy of which the Spanish have all but wiped so much history that would likely confirm this even further. However, we have enough to prove this thoroughly and that will suffice.

The problem is that such a description is never given in the document to which Tim is referring. Here is a translation of that section which is at the end of the document. 

In front of this said China and its lands are many islands to the sea and beyond these islands is a very large land that They say that it is terra firme, other islands where three or four junks of white people, who are very large and very rich, came to Malac every year. They bring a lot of gold in rods and silver and silk and a lot of very good wheat and very beautiful porcelain and other merchandise and they carry a lot of pepper and all the other things that the Chinese sayings carry to those who are called lequios, those from Malac say that they are better people than older merchants and richer and more dressed and honored than the Chinese whose people until now We have no news because they never came to Malac after the Portuguese went there.

Collecion Documento 98 pg. 137-138

Not a word about beards. The Spanish word "barba" does not show up in the text. Why is that? According to Chinese sources it's because the Lequios plucked out their beards. They also are described as having deep eyes and long noses. Filipinos do not have long noses. They are also said to observe no hierarchy which is unlike Philippine society which is ruled by elders.

"The country of Liuqiu is situated amidst islands in the sea, in a location that should be east of Jian'an County, to which one may arrive with five days' travel by water. The land has many caves. Its king's clan name is Huansi, and his given name is Keladou; it is not known how many generations have passed since he and his have come to possess the country. The people of that land call him Kelaoyang, and for his wife, [they] say Duobatu. His place of residence they call Boluotan Grotto, with threefold moats and fences; the perimeter has flowing water, trees and briars as barriers. As for the domicile of the king, it is sixteen rooms large, and engraved with carvings of birds and beasts. There are many Doulou trees, which resemble the orange but with foliage that is dense. The country has four or five chiefs, who unite several villages under their rule; the villages have [their own] little kings."

"The people have deep eyes and long noses, seeming to be rather akin to the Hu, and also having petty cleverness. There is no observance of hierarchy of ruler and minister nor the rite of prostrating oneself with one's palms pressed together. Fathers and children sleep together in the same bed. The men pluck out their whiskers and beards, and any place on their bodies where they happen to have hair, they will also remove it. The adult women use ink to tattoo their hands in the design of insects and serpents. As for marriage, they use wine, delicacies, pearls and shells to arrange a betrothal; if a man and a woman have found pleasure in each other, then they get married."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liuqiu_(medieval)

This designation of the country of Liuqiu is where the word Lequios originates. It is a place amidst islands to the east of China. The description here is of the Ryukyu Islands and Formosa not the Philippines. The Philippines is not even in front of China it is to the southeast of China. 

The fact is Tim did not even bother to read this document. His source for this false information is ancientphilippines.blogspot.com.

http://ancientphilippines.blogspot.com/2013/07/the-lost-tribe-of-israel-is-found.html

According to Documents 98, the Lequios were big, bearded, and white men. They were only interested in gold and silver when trading at Ophir. Okinawans, Koreans, and Vietnamese people are not big nor are they white. Their beards are just small goatees and could not satisfy the word "bearded". Therefore they were not the Lequios. So who could the Lequios be but the remnants of Hebrews and Phoenicians who have made some enclaves along the Southeast Asian shores?

If you pay attention to Tim's videos you will see that Tim lifts a huge amount of his so-called research directly from ancientphilippines.blogspot.com He is on record admitting this. 

The Lequios of Luzon: Key to Finding Ophir and Chryse. Clue #52

21:19 For a while now we have used definition for the Hebrew for this word from ancient Philippines blogspot. We, in the beginning in fact, we tried to quote local sources and you'll see in the description box we mentioned those guys. We also mentioned Bob's blog as well. It's all there. It's been there for three years. We've always, you know, given them some credit and those are worth reading because really that's where we started with the history portion. We started reading their stuff and then we started branching out from there. Yes, we verified everything that we could and if there was something that we couldn't verify such as the gold found in first century Egypt as easily we took it from numerous sources so we felt pretty good with it and went with it and turns out it's proving to be fine as a reference. So far our sources by the way check out to be very good.

That admission is absolutely amazing. Tim started his journey by quoting "local sources!?" What does that even mean? A Philippine blog? Why not start with proven academic sources? Because Tim hates academia. Then he says he tried to verify most of what he read online but if he couldn't verify it he went with it anyway because multiple sources said the same thing! That is not a proper method for doing historical research at all and shows what a total fool this man is. All the errors from those sources he never verified have ended up in his book. Errors such as Documento 98 describing the Lequios as bearded. 

But let's investigate this Spanish document a little further. Not only are the Lequios people described as being white but so are the Chinese.

The visitors of this land of China are men of good stature and white and well disposed and also the women have very small eyes

pg. 136

Are the Chinese actually Phoenicians? Of course not. Document 98 follows the exact same route as in Duarte Barbosa's book. He describes the Chinese in the same way.

The inhabitants of this land be great merchants they are white men, and well built. Both men and women have small eyes, in their beards they have three or four hairs and no more, as a sign of gentility, and the smaller their eyes are the more repute they have as well-bred men.

Duarte Barbosa, Vol. 2, pg. 213

He also describes the people of Solor, which is the Sulu archipelago as being almost white. 

And passing these Maluquo Islands northwards towards China there is another very large island well furnished with food which they call Solor. Its inhabitants are almost white, Heathen with good figures.

Duarte Barbosa, Vol. 2, pg. 206

He even describes the inhabitants of Celebes as being white. 

Having passed the said Isles of Maluco certain other islands are found towards the west, whence come at times certain white folk, bare from the waist up, yet they have garments woven from something like straw, wherewith they cover their private parts. They speak a tongue of their own. Their boats are badly built, and therein they come to take loads of cloves in these islands, also copper, Cambaya cloths and tin, and they take thither for sale very long and broad one-edged swords and other ironwork, and a good quantity of gold. These folk are eaters of human flesh, and if the King of Maluco wishes to put to death any person condemned by law they beg for him to be delivered to them to eat as if they were asking for a pig. These islands, from which these and suchlike people come, are called Celebe. 

Duarte Barbosa, Vol. 2, pg. 204

Are these people also Phoenicians? Of course not. The point is that the color of these people's skin means absolutely nothing. There are light skinned and dark skinned inhabitants in East Asia and in the Islands of South East Asia. That is no proof they are descendants of King Solomon's navy. 

As for Document #98 Tim is not telling the truth. At no time does it describe the Lequios people as bearded. But he does not know this because he did not even seek to verify the contents of the document. He is on record saying he took ancientPhilippines.blogspot.com and other "local sources" at face value. That is no way to do history. But it is the way to propagate lies.
