The God Culture: Past and Future Projects

Timothy Jay Schwab of The God Culture is a busy man. He has a lot of projects on the way. Let's take a look at some of them.

https://uspto.report/copyright/search/author/schwab+timothy+jay

This is a listing from the United States Patent and Trademark Office. On it we find several projects copyrighted by Tim. It is a varied list with both texts and musical compositions being copyrighted. Some of these date back to the early 90's and shed light on the Christian rock n' roll band Tim used to be in. The list is not in any order so I will examine each item chronologically.

1. God's Bus 1990

This is a cassette tape with two other songs, Call of the Lord and When It's Cold. The music is by Richard Scott Schilling and the lyrics by Timothy Jay Schwab. A Google search pulls up nothing for this cassette. It appears that Richard Scott Schilling released an instrumental album in 2001 titled Earth, Sky, Sea. At least that is the only musician named Richard Scott Schilling on Youtube.  It sounds like something one would hear on Hearts of Space. Interesting fact, Christian band Cademon's Call had a song titled Bus Driver. Were they influenced by Tim? I like Cademon's Call, especially Suicidal Stones and Center Aisle. They are leagues better than Petra ever was.

john lumus  hmm....... Thumb nail looks remarkably like PETRA™ Come And Join Us, 1977 album cover ~ 

The God Culture  Dude! there's a band i haven't in a long time Petra was awesome! Yah Bless 

2.  Nomad collection 2 1990

This is also a cassette tape with music by Schilling and lyrics by Schwab. It also features Nomad collection 1. Was Nomad the name of Tim's Christian rock band?

3.  Welcome Home 1991

Another cassette tape but this time with music and words by Timothy Jay Schwab.

4. Out of the Shadows/Nomad 1993

A cassette with lyric sheet. Music and words by Timothy Jay Schwab.

5. I Give it to You 2010

This is just one song. Timothy Jay Schwab is listed as the copyright claimant but there are several other authors. They are Caleb Clemens, Amy Martin, Pat Donahue, and Dustin short. They are credited with the music while Timothy is credited with the lyrics.

Those are all the projects Tim copyrighted before The God Culture was created. Now we will enter into familiar territory.

6. Ophir, Philippines Coffee Table Project 2020

This is, of course, Tim's huge coffee table book.

This is basically the same book as The Search for King Solomon's Treasure except it has pretty pictures of the Philippines. From the previews I have seen it looks rather nice. Tim's marketing and publishing talents have been put to use skillfully in the production of this book. Such is his forte. He is an adman and marketer above all else.

7. The Search for King Solomon's Treasure Lost Isles of Gold and the Garden of Eden 2020

Again, another book we all know. You can read my review here.

8. Ophir:The Lost Isles of Gold: The Return to the Garden of Eden 2020

This is not a book. This is a dramatic work and music; or choreography. I am betting it is a film script for a documentary. Even though Tim has created hundreds of videos about this subject it would not be out of the realm of possibility that he would whittle it all down into a presentable 2 hour feature. Of course, if he chroeographed a dance about Ophir that would be pretty awesome.

9. The Philippine Gold. Isles of Ophir, Sheba and Tarshish Rediscovered. 2020

This is a text which means it is probably a book. The title is similar to another book The God Culture has claimed they are working on.

Ancient

Philippine

History

Gilded in Gold

A Reconstruction of pre-colonial History and Geography from the Beginning

Perhaps it is the same book but the title has been changed. While there is a cover for "Ancient Philippine History" there is no copyright listed for such a work.

10. Sheba Unveiled 2020

The description says this is a movie script. Isn't that exciting? Now, Tim could have called this project anything but he called it Sheba Unveiled. He also talks a lot about Lemuria and Atlantis. He really believes they both existed. Lemuria and Atlantis play a huge role in theosophy. Could it be that the title is influenced by Helena Blavatsky's Isis unveiled?

As Tim would say, I can't prove this but it makes sense.

11. The Book of Jubilees. The Torah Calendar 2020

Another book that is familiar to readers of this blog. You can read my review here.

12. Zubu: The Real Story of Lapu Lapu 2020

Like Sheba Unveiled this is likely a movie script. Unless it's a dance. Tim has already given us his uneducated and illiterate opinion about the "real story" of LapuLapu. He says that this chieftain stole the Sto. Niño from Cebu and rejected the yoke of the Spanish. He thus killed Magellan in an act of defiance against colonialism. None of that is true. LapuLapu had no problem with submitting to the King of Spain. 

It was the demand of Magellan for him to accept the leadership of a fellow native chief, Humabon, which provoked the Mactan chieftain to anger. Primary sources claimed that the reason which prompted Magellan to explode in anger was Lapu-lapu’s alleged refusal to kiss the hand of Humabon as an acknowledgement of his subordination. Another member of the expedition who made his testimony upon their return in Spain, Fernando de Bustamante, barber-surgeon of the Victoria, in agreement with the other testimonies, also recalled that the natives of Mactan were actually willing to accept Spanish sovereignty but were not disposed to accept Humabon as their overlord: “...those of Mactan wished to obey the king of Castile but the said Ferdinand Magellan told them to kiss the hand of the king of Zebu and those do not wish to kiss the hand of the king of Zebu.” 

https://philippinefails.blogspot.com/2021/05/the-god-culture-lapu-lapu-did-not.html 

He also did not steal the Sto. Niño which was found in Cebu and not Mactan when the Spanish arrived in 1565. The natives worshipped it because it worked miracles for them.

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

Given that Tim has royally mangled this story it will be interesting to see what kind of movie he will make about LapuLapu. Remember this man is not a historian. He has a degree in business management and advertising. He is an adman.

13. 2nd Esdras: The Hidden Book of Prophecy 2021

You can read my two-part review for 2nd Esdras here and here.

14. REST:The Case for Sabbath 2021

This is Tim's newest book. Though, as of this writing, he has not officially released it you can buy it on Amazon. Soon it will be available for free at restcase.org. I have already written a critique of the Foreward by Retired Army Colonel Bien Casis. I have a hunch that this book will be very important and serve as a manifesto of sorts for The God Culture. Surely it will be Tim's most definitive theological statement and will show us all just where he stands on several issues not just the Sabbath. 

There are some interesting things on this list. It appears there are two movies in the works. The fact that there is no entry for Enoch is also very telling. It means that, even though Tim says he is working on it, it's just not ready yet. Perhaps it will be soon. None of the instructional editions of Solomon's Treasure appear on this list despite being touted as "coming soon" for almost a year now.

Strangely enough none of these copyrighted works list Tim's second wife, Anna Zamoranos, as an author. Yet, she is listed as co-author on the cover of all his books. Why is this? Perhaps because she is not really a co-author. After all, Anna, like her third husband Tim, has no training as a historian or a researcher or a linguist. She is a licensed real-estate agent. What could she possibly contribute to a project that alleges to be doing "deep research including history, geography, archeology, science, language, etc?" Her skill set does not qualify her for the job.

But there is something even more fascinating here. All of Timothy's copyrights dated from 2020, after he moved to the Philippines, list an address and phone number for Angie Myers in Boca Raton, Fl. Some of these entires even list that his domicile is in the USA. 

https://uspto.report/copyright/31717232

But Tim has not lived in Florida since at least 2019. So, why is he registering everything to Angie Myers in Boca Raton, Florida? Who is this lady?

Born in the Philippines but raised in Boca Raton, Angie Myers is a photographer who worked for Timothy Jay Schwab's now defunct magazine The Shore Life. She even photographed the cover of the premier issue.

http://www.angiemyers.com/blog/2013/3/5/the-shore-life-premier-issue

There is even a picture of Tim in this particular article.

It sure looks like Tim anyway. And why would't he be at the photoshoot for the front cover of the inaugural issue of his new magazine?

Angie also sells CBD products. This includes a topical cream and buds you can smoke or bake into edibles.

Happy national CBD day! This plant has literally changed my life and my health. For anyone with anxiety, pain or sleepless nights - this hemp derived CBD is what you need! You can use it as a topical, edible or smoke it. Zero traceable THC and non psychoactive. A common misconception is that it is weed (that stuff that gets you high). It’s a totally different plant and it’s 100% federally legal.  

https://www.facebook.com/AngieMyersFoto/posts/10218738706770635

Why is this lady being used as Tim's American address? He does not live there. He has not resided in the USA so for at least two years. So, wouldn't listing his domicile as being in Florida be fraud? Remember, this is a guy who says "the law is what redeems us." One would think he would always want to be on the straight and narrow. Apparently not!

The God Culture: Is The Fish A Christian Symbol?

Magazine publisher, revisionist historian, noted liar, and iconoclast Timothy Jay Schwab who is The God Culture has a new video questioning whether or not the fish is a Christian Symbol.

The Fish: Is It A Symbol of the Bible or the Occult?

Now, very obviously the fish IS a Christian symbol. One can read the writings of the Church Fathers where it is mentioned or view inscriptions on Christian burial sites in the Roman catacombs and see that is the case. C.R. Morey has a series of articles on the subject.

But with Tim one cannot present that hard evidence because he will not accept it. His thesis is that ANYONE who did not worship on the Sabbath, keep the Mosaic Law, or used symbols of any kind are not part of the true Church.

2:42 Many early church Fathers were definitively occultists and impostors, those who crept in unawares. Watch After the Apostles and we show you what they say and even thier admission that what they were practicing was against the Bible practice. That's what they say whether they realise it or not. They represent a different religion from the Bible and they always have.

15:54 And let me get this straight. The Church generally thinks its ok to use this nephilim symbol of worship in our worship? Are you kidding? 

18:42  I mean who would even care, you know, we use a fish symbol or not? Well, why use it when it's the occult? That's the problem. Just don't . Pretty easy not to use it. Not real hard. Uh, they cite legends from the infiltraters, the impostors, those who crept in unawares, watch After the Apostles, who claim this is, well, included with a Latin acrostic of course identifying Yahuhsha. How stupid.

27:09 This was never their symbol but the fake Church from its inception who profaned everything in worship they possibly can.  

There is no point in referring to the Early Church to defend the fish symbol because Tim will not accept the evidence. According to him the Early Church is fake and not the church at all.

Tim goes on to discuss an article from Christianity Today which mentions Tertullian who compares Christians to fish because of baptism. 

19:58 But worst this incredibly inept article tries to claim water baptism. Oh fish! Right? Wait a minute. What, what? Are they just ridiculous or what? John the Baptist baptized in fresh water springs. Oops! Watch our Original Canon Series. So, no fish. Stupid. 

What does John the Baptist have to do with what Tertullian says? Absolutely nothing. Here is the full quote from Tertullian. 

Happy is our sacrament of water, in that, by washing away the sins of our early blindness, we are set free and admitted into eternal life! A treatise on this matter will not be superfluous; instructing not only such as are just becoming formed (in the faith), but them who, content with having simply believed, without full examination of the grounds of the traditions, carry (in mind), through ignorance, an untried though probable faith. The consequence is, that a viper of the Cainite heresy, lately conversant in this quarter, has carried away a great number with her most venomous doctrine, making it her first aim to destroy baptism. Which is quite in accordance with nature; for vipers and asps and basilisks themselves generally do affect arid and waterless places. But we, little fishes, after the example of our ΙΧΘΥΣ  Jesus Christ, are born in water, nor have we safety in any other way than by permanently abiding in water; so that most monstrous creature, who had no right to teach even sound doctrine,  knew full well how to kill the little fishes, by taking them away from the water!

https://www.newadvent.org/fathers/0321.htm

Tertullian was writing about the sacrament of baptism in response to a false cult that had done away with the practice. Tim does know that Christians are required to be baptised right? Or is water baptism another symbol of the false church?

 As for the ICTHYS acrostic Tim calls it a "a nice little story for a nephilim."

21:22 See, he should have, we all should, it appears he or his time made up this fabricated acrostic which is a lie of no value unless you're a nephilim. It's a nice little story for a nephilim. No thank you. 

In his condemnation of the fish symbol Tim says something quite odd.

19:39 We discuss the 5,000 being fed which, well they also got bread, you know? Where's the bread in that image? Oh, Duh! Not there. 

Where is the bread symbol? Is Tim unaware bread forms half the sacrament of the Eucharist? It's amazing this guy claims to have been a Bible teacher for 30 years and he has no idea about the bread of the Eucharist. 

As with all of Tim's videos this is simply unhistoric garbage. His thesis lies less on the fish being a pagan symbol and more on his assertion the Devil infiltrated the Church and turned it into the Synagogue of Satan contrary to the promise of Jesus that He would build His Church and the gates of hell would not prevail against it. 

Tim's ridiculous method is on full view in this illiterate video. First, he condemns all symbols as elements of evil appropriated by the Church. He never shows us where the Church confesses to co-opting these symbols or where pagans complain of this practice. Instead he engages in false equivalency. "The pagans used crosses therefore the Christian cross is a pagan symbol." Is he aware of the dying and rising God all throughout mythology? With Tim's method that makes the story of Jesus just another pagan myth. 

Secondly, rather than investigate the origin and history of the fish symbol AS USED BY CHRISTIANS, Tim goes for the low hanging fruit of a popular magazine article. I would say it is poor research skills except Tim is not interested in doing any actual research on the topic. From the beginning he has already decided all symbols are evil and the early Church which used symbols was a false impostor Church. It is impossible to reason with Timothy Jay Schwab who is The God Culture because he is stubbornly and willingly ignorant.

The God Culture: Take Up Your Fence

Timothy Jay Schwab who is The God Culture has once again taken up his anti-cross video series to give us more "proof" that Jesus was not crucified on a t-shaped cross but staked on a vertical pole. This time Tim says Jesus did not tell His followers to "take up their cross" but rather to "take up their fence."

"Take Up His FENCE And Follow Me..." in UNDER 20 MINUTES

Tim's proof for his claim is twofold.

The first proof is Jesus says "take up your cross" much too early in His ministry for his followers to understand cross as an implement of torture.

1:04 Yahusha for us to said, you know, for us to take up our cross and follow him, right? Actually wrong. He never said that. This is written in Greek which is the word stauros or upright stake or fence post and not cross and it actually then makes sense. As cross it makes no sense whatsoever because it's long before Messiah's execution. Long before. It's ridiculous.

The second proof, built upon the first, is that His followers would have to have been familiar with what Jesus is talking about and since it cannot be the cross it must be a fence since no one owned a cross but everyone owned a fence.

9:44 You have the same problem in Matthew 16:24, Mark 8:34, and Mark 10:21 these are way too early to invoke the use of a cross. Most people had fences back then and they understood what he meant. No one owned crosses. Duh. 

Your boundary of your property was set largely by a fence not a cross. If you're selling your property and following him selling all your possessions and following him you're breaking down your fence, you're, you, you know, you're coming out, uh and that's what it's all about. You're coming out and you're giving everything to him and has nothing to do with a cross. This is very obvious 

Again a whole lot of problematic uses here if it was cross. Luke 9:23 still 14 chapters too early to invoke a cross for execution. Nonsense. No one would have even understood and he wasn't being cryptic. This is a Salvation topic folks. He didn't project such definition for understanding at a later date. He was teaching a principle he wanted understood then and there and it was. Now, remove your fence, remove your boundaries and follow me.

What is Tim's source that "most people had fences back then?" He does not say. He is likely making it up.

All this means the passage about taking up one's cross is not about self-sacrifice but about "giving all you have" and living outside of your fence. 

3:56 The passage is really about giving all you have to Him. Uh, in one case the Rich Young Ruler which we covered He says this as well there. Uh, and he's telling him go sell all you possess and that includes your land. Then take up your fence, your boundary, your fence post and follow me. Have no boundaries. Have no borders. Come out of your yard and your comfort zone and follow me. This is incredible now this passage makes sense. Take up your cross? Hm. Nonsense.

The first proof is easily dismantled by looking at John 6 where Jesus says we must eat his body and drink his blood. 

51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

52 The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?

53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.

54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.

55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.

56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.

What can Christ possibly mean here by eating his body and drinking his blood except for the Eucharist? 

Matthew 26:26 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.

27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;

28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

John 6 is long before the Last Supper yet here we see Jesus Christ talking of the very sacrament He would inaugurate during the Last Supper. It should be noted that when the crowd heard Him say they must eat His body and drink His blood many of them stopped following Him because the saying was too hard.

60 Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?

61 When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you?

62 What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?

63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

64 But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him.

65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.

66 From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.

This is important because Jesus Christ is not clear about everything he says. He told the Apostles that He spoke in parables not to make his teaching easily understandable but to hide it from the masses to whom it was not given to understand. Tim is dead wrong when he says Jesus never spoke cryptically. 

Matthew 13:10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?

11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.

12 For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.

13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.

14 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:

15 For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with theireyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.

There is no problem with Jesus speaking to His disciples of a future event in a cryptic manner especially when He promised to send the Holy Spirit to bring these things to their remembrance.

John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

The second proof is easily done away with by the testimony of ancient writers who testify that criminals did in fact carry their cross to the scene of execution. 

The first testimony is from Dionysius of Halicarnassus who writes the following in book seven of his Roman Antiquities. 

A Roman citizen of no obscure station, having ordered one of his slaves to be put to death, delivered him to his fellow-slaves to be led away, and in order that his punishment might be witnessed by all, directed them to drag him through the Forum and every other conspicuous part of the city as they whipped him, and that he should go ahead of the procession which the Romans were at that time conducting in honour of the god.​  

The men ordered to lead the slave to his punishment, having stretched out both his arms and fastened them to a piece of wood which extended across his breast and shoulders as far as his wrists, followed him, tearing his naked body with whips.

https://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Roman/Texts/Dionysius_of_Halicarnassus/7C*.html

The second testimony is from Plutarch who writes the following in his Moralia in Book 8 section 9. 

And as every malefactor about to pay the penalty of his crime in his person bears his cross, so vice fabricates for itself each of its own torments, being the terrible author of its own misery in life, wherein in addition to shame it has frequent fears and fierce passions and endless remorse and anxiety.

https://www.gutenberg.org/files/23639/23639-h/23639-h.htm#Page_331a

It is simply a fact that criminals carried their cross to the place of execution. There is no doubt the people would be familiar with that grisly sight and understand exactly what Jesus meant by carrying your cross. It is not a fence. That is preposterous.  

Finally, and what really undoes all of this nonsense, is the Greek word for fence is not stauros.  It is phragmos.

https://www.blueletterbible.org/lexicon/g5418/kjv/tr/0-1/

If Jesus wanted people to "take up their fence" he would not have used a word with two meanings but a word with one meaning. While stauros can mean a fence post it also means a cross as an implement of torture. However, phragmos means fence with no ambiguity. Didn't Tim say Jesus did not speak cryptically and wanted everyone to know what he was saying? 

As Tim would say, BOOM!

This third video is simply more unhistorical and unbiblical garbage from Timothy Jay Schwab. But Tim does not care that he is in error or that I continue to point out his errors. In the comment section of this video he left the following tirade calling me a "demon blogger" and once more threatening me with legal prosecution for exposing his lies. 

Anyone attempting debate without watching all 3 of these, will be muted. We know by your comment you have not watched so don't play the fool trolls and demonic blogger. Let's be clear. When we say demonic, we refer to the intellectual rapist who can't even read a sentence and never makes points except how poorly he is able to read and he is even worse of a listener. The idiot even takes positions against himself in a stream and no one can be more of a failure as the perhaps 2 views he gets proves. Talk about the definition of insanity... demonic indeed. And the eBook he downloaded free, he lied and told Amazon the pages fell out when he opened it yet he did not order from Amazon who does not send such poor quality nor do they ever not accept a return in that case but not this idiot... The eBook pages fell out on his screen. In the words of Bugs Bunny: "what a maroon." He'll now likely write a blog about how one is supposed to spell moron in which he'll also tell us that Bugs Bunny didn't actually say it and is not the origin as if that would ever even matter... because he has the understanding of a toddler only foaming out of the mouth like a demon indeed. He has committed many infractions in cyber libel, gross negligence, fake news, misrepresentations consistently, harassed  family including minors, and in time, he will be prosecuted for his illegal acts. He tries to comment here under a different usernames each time in complete insanity thinking we will ever allow his dull nonsense here on our channel. Even when caught and muted he gets more views than months on his pathetic platforms no one wants to view. When caught, he doubles down and turns dumb into dumber and then, dumberer... Perhaps there is a movie about him. We will never tolerate such illiterate ignorance here. Yah Bless.

Will Timothy Jay Schwab who is The God Culture ever own up to his misrepresentations and outright lies? Will he ever deal with the hard evidence I present in all these articles that he is wrong? Likely not but that will not stop this blog from continuing to expose him for all to see. 

The God Culture: What Happened to the Levites?

Timothy Jay Schwab who is The God Culture is obsessed with the Levites and the Levitical priesthood. He has an an entire project called The Levite Bible in which he is going to augment and edit the KJV with the Dead Sea Scrolls. Tim's contention is that the inhabitants of Qumran were actually exiled temple priests and not Essenes. Way out in the desert they carried on the TRUE temple practice including sacrifices because the Hasmoneans defiled the temple during the time of the Maccabees. 

According to magazine publisher and Dead Sea Scrolls non-expert Timothy Jay Schwab these Levites were in the wilderness busily preparing the way for Jesus Christ with John the Baptist as their leader. Thus all of John's disciples were Levites. That is the foundation which Tim lays down in the first video. 

What Happened to the Levite Priest? Part 1 This is a WOW!!!

40:26 So, the temple priests, the Sons of Zadook and Levites, were exiled from the temple to Qumran about 165 B.C. They were preparing the way in the wilderness for the coming Messiah, Yahusha, as John would become their leader and the embodiment of that especially. 

It should be noted that the inhabitants of Qumran called themselves Levites, Priests, and Sons of Zadok SYMBOLICALLY. 

The Priests are the converts of Israel who departed from the land of Judah, and (the Levites are) those who joined them. The sons of Zadok are the elect of Israel, the men called by name who shall stand at the end of days. Behold the exact list of their names according to their generations, and the time when they lived, and the number of their trials, and the years of their sojourn, and the exact list of their deeds...(They were the first men) of holiness whom God forgave, and who justified the righteous and condemned the wicked. And until the age is completed, according to the number of those years, all who enter after them shall do according to that interpretation of the Law in which the first (men) were instructed. According to the Covenant which God made with the forefathers, forgiving their sins, so shall He forgive their sins also. But when the age is completed, according to the number of those years, there shall be no more joining the house of Judah, but each man shall stand on his watch-tower: The wall is built, the boundary far removed(Mic. vii, II).

Complete Dead Sea Scrolls, Geza Vermes, pg 131-132

Tim has nothing to say about that particular section of the Community Rule. At least nothing truthful.  He cites this passage in the second video at about 9:20 without informing his audience of its symbolic nature.

In the second video Tim will build on this foundation to erect the claim that 6 of The Apostles were Levites. 

Were Some Disciples LEVITES? Part 2 This is a Incredible New Revelation!!! WOW!!!

Tim's proof for this claim is not well reasoned in the slightest but is based on guilt by association and etymology of names. 

Andrew and Peter were Levites because Andrew was a disciple of John the Baptist's Levite community and Peter was his brother.

8:46 Understand, and there are two examples on screen, the hierarchy of the Qumran community were the Sons of Zadok as the leaders, uh, specifically John the Baptist in his era. Uh, that was the case. Um, he, he was, he was a leader if not the leader. It appears he was the leader because it calls him Master, uh, in the prophecy. Yeah, pretty clear. And their disciples were whom? Ah! Their disciples were the Levites. So, Sons of Zadok leadership just like the temple and their disciples their followers were Levites. That's well documented in this community many times but again here are two examples on screen. Uh, so, these two disciples are Levites but what are their names? Who are they? Who are these two disciples? This is awesome. 

Now, here we go. The first one was Andrew, Peter's brother. This Andrew was a Levite from a Levite family. That's a bloodline thing which means so was Peter. Boom one two right there. Peter was a Levite y'all. Wow!

John and James were Levites because their father was named after a Levite and they too were disciples of John the Baptist's Levite community

15:16 But is that a Levite name there, uh, Zabdi? Actually it is found for Israelites, uh, basically multiple tribes. Uh, but most certainly is a Levite name as the son of Asaph the famous Levite singer David wrote about, right, that has even the the passage there, uh, in Psalms. So, this guy is likely named for a prominent Levite in fact and regardless his sons, especially John it appears, were disciples in Qumran, Bethabara, of John the Baptist thus Levites. Boom!

Matthew's other name was Levi which makes both he and his brother James Levites 

18:51 In Mark 2:14 the Publican or tax collector whom yahusha called who followed him is most certainly Matthew. there's no doubting that. Uh, everyone knows this. But here, wait, wait, uh, his name is called by his other name which is Levi. Huh. Could Levi be a Levite? And he is son of who? Oh, Alphaeus same as James. These guys were brothers. Uh pretty clear same father and Matthew's name is Levi, a Levite. Yes someone else could call their son Levi but you will find many of those in scripture were actually Levites embedded in that tribe not actually from it. Think about that. Every tribe had Levites embedded. It stands to reason both Matthew actually bearing the name Levi and Mattiyahu, gift of Yahu, uh, Yahua's name is in his, uh, very Hebrew, very biblical Priestly names, uh, and his brother James called the Lesser, uh, were Levites as well. How about that?

Tim sounds very sure about his claims but oddly enough he says they only APPEAR to be Levites.

20:00 There's six. so that is six disciples out of 12 that appear to have been Levites. Four of them we can find incredibly strong, uh, in connection and the other a little less but still strong in possibility. Add to that the Qumran, Bethabara, the community of Levites exiled Temple priests, uh, in leadership like John the Baptist and his disciples being Levites and this my friends is a home run. The Levites became part of the New Testament Ecclesia even into the apostles. How about that?

Look at how Tim says they APPEAR to have been Levites with his evidence for two of them to be "strong in possibility" and then he says it is a home run. Which one is it? Merely possible or a home run? 

But what exactly does it mean that the Apostles were Levites and the Levite community at Qumran followed Jesus Christ?  It means they became priests under Jesus who, as Hebrews says, is a priest after the Order of Melchizedek which goes back to the time of Abraham.

21:23 What does it mean their order was replaced by Yahusha Melchizedek? Uh, they didn't disappear. only as an order. the order disappeared. they continued under him operating under Melchizedek as their high priest under the New Order which was really a rest, you know restoration of the old, they became the New Testament. Generally. How about that?

36:17 Listen to this. This is important. Their priesthood has been disannulled. That's the word that Hebrew 7 uses. meaning thoroughly and completely canceled. It's gone. Does that mean the law was cancelled? Well Yahusha said no in Matthew 5:17 through 20. Why? Because the law of Melchizedek is the same as the law of Moses, see? Yahusha Yahweh wrote part with his finger. Yeah. That's pretty firm. Uh, Paul said no in Romans 7 by the way and other places. Oops. Yes Paul preached and kept the law, the Sabbath, The Feast and he tithed. All of those are there in scripture and we found them and we've shown you. 

What law? But we're no longer under Levites levitical law or the levitical order we are under the Ancient Order that's older than that. The order of Melchizedek who is Messiah. It was him in the spirit back in the day of Abraham and it's him in the flesh since 2,000 years ago.

Hear that? Timothy Jay Schwab says 

"the law of Melchizedek is the same as the law of Moses"

Yet at the same time we are not under the Levitical law but under Christ who is a priest after the order of Melchizedek. But if the law of Melchizedek is the law of Moses then there is NO DIFFERENCE between it and the Levitical law because the Levitical law IS THE LAW OF MOSES!!! 

How is Tim so stupid to miss this???

Hebrews says VERY CLEARLY:

Hebrews 7:12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.

Therefore the law of Melchizedek CANNOT be the law of Moses. Especially seeing as Melchizedek PREDATES MOSES!

Tim says Paul preached and kept the law but this is manifestly NOT the case as he calls the law of Moses the MINISTRATION OF DEATH in 2 Corinthians 3.

6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. 

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. 

10 For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth. 

11 For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious.

Paul also compares the Law of Moses to Hagar and calls it bondage.

Galatians 4:22 For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.

23 But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.

24 Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.

25 For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.

The main and most important thing for Tim is NOT that we have faith in Christ but that we keep the law because by the law, not faith in Christ, comes righteousness.

41:11 The Bible has never said there is no more righteousness thus no more law. That's ridiculous. Of course we're to still be righteous and you can't be right without law. It is never said there is only sin now and so no more law. That that's a really dumb way of reading fragments from Paul which the church does out of context and Paul taught and kept the law. He said is Holy, good, and just. Do we abolish the law? Paul said heaven forbid? Do we bother to read what he said?

Certainly Paul called the law holy, good, and just. But he also said the law is a schoolmaster to lead us to Christ and now Christ has come we are no longer under it. 

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.

Paul is also very clear that our righteousness comes from Jesus Christ and not by keeping the law. If that were not the case then Christ is dead in vain. 

Galatians 2:21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.

What can be said about this new two part series about the Levites? It is simply more ahistorical and unbiblical garbage. Tim contradicts himself throughout when he says the Mosaic law and the law of Melchizedek are the same yet we are not under the Levitical law because the Levitical law is the law of Moses. That makes the law of Melchizedek also the Levitical law. But the Bible is very clear that the purpose of the law of Moses was to lead us to Christ. 

Tim also says Jesus did not initiate a NEW convent but restored the Old Covenant:

operating under Melchizedek as their high priest under the New Order which was really a rest, you know restoration of the old

That is totally wrong. Christ did not come to restore the Old Covenant but to inaugurate a New Covenant. We read about it in Jeremiah. 

Christ explicitly tells the Apostles the New Covenant will be inaugurated by the shedding of His blood. 

It is rather bewildering that Tim is so blind he cannot see these things which are clearly spelled out in the New Testament. Tim is like a dog going back to his vomit as he attempts to go back to the Mosaic law. This is not a light matter. To say that one cannot be righteous without the law is to repudiate the necessity of faith in Christ and to deny Him completely. 

It does not matter how many followers Tim has or how much adulation he receives from them. The fact is Timothy Jay Schwab continues to preach a false gospel, a bizarre false history, and is leading his cult, especially Filipinos to whom his ministry is most directed, down to the fiery pit of hell. 

The God Culture: The God Culture vs Facebook

The God Culture has been more active than ever in the past few weeks since they founded a think-tank and began publishing their books. What better way to get the information out than social media?  CIA-funded Facebook is the platform of choice for most people to get out their message. What else is there anyway? But it seems The God Culture has hit a snag. Facebook is censoring them!

https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=823730291523076&id=100016583385154

What are you doing Facebook? Who do you think you are. Whoever you are inside, you better stop playing around. We are coming for you. This post is not limited in any sense. It is a simple posting for our book on sale on Amazon and how dare you attempt to censor this illegally. Keep it up. You are just giving us further documentation of you illegal actions. You are gonna sink your company. We did not limit anything, just posted you crook and you better stop it. We have not deleted it. If you cannot function as a simple site, you are gonna be out of business. What a fool you are you loser who is inside Facebook playing around.

That is God Culture founder and anti-trinitarian heretic Timothy Jay Schwab's personal Facebook page  which it seems is now a backup for the official God Culture Facebook page. Over at their official page the same accusations of censorship are being made.

https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=2812562029070876

Wow Facebook. You reached 34 people out of 6,600 in almost 2 hours. I guess this is becoming very difficult for you. Maybe feed the mice in wheels and get this post out there? Keep censoring Facebook and you will pay for that. Whoever you are inside, we will find you and you will be dealt with. This is illegal.

https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=3262707493851703

Oh Facebook, you are really rocking the world with 48 people reached in 4 hours on a page with 6,600 friends. That must have been so difficult for you to get this out to less than 1 person per minute. I mean please don't go out of your way to notify our friends on our own page of our posts that they wanted to be notified. Of course, none of us joined Facebook to actually connect and communicate. No, we all came here to submit to the Social Nazi tell us "no post for you." Maybe stop acting like Hitler or you will fall like he did. Your censorship is filthy and you will face the music for this.

As a follow up to this comment thread The God Culture asks anyone else having problems to let them know because they are "documenting."

I can just hear 351 screams of "REEEEEEE!!!" bouncing up and down Bonifacio Street as the above comments were typed out. The sheer amount of ignorance and stupidity in those posts is only surpassed by the paranoia that fuels them. Does the person who posted this, likely Anna Zamoranos, even know that in the first example her link is broken and when you click on it you get a 404 page from Amazon?

https://www.amazon.com/.../B08M.../ref=dp-kindle-redirect?fbclid=IwAR3wmOzPz0jcO1c2RC5AUOzmM1QImLjhrqZU1ebbOLCB894_JUgyJ3yQqKg

In fact 7 out of the 17 links on that post do not lead to their book. Why post so many links in the first place when all you need is one Amazon link and they will sort it out for you? This situation is even stranger than it appears because this was posted at 11:29 on November 20, 2020. Only half an hour earlier at 10:58 the same post was made on The God Culture's official page and all the links work because they are posted in full and not partially.

Eight minutes later at 11:37 on Tim Schwab's page the same post is made but this time with a picture added. Because there were no links to parse as a result of the picture there was no "This content isn't available right now" box. But Anna does not understand this. She probably has no idea what it means to parse a link and generate a preview.

Note: This post was just blocked from some illiterate loser inside Facebook. You better grow up and get a life because we are coming for you. Stop blocking our posts! Who do you think you are. We are allowed to post on our own site and how dare you. This is a simple post with links to Amazon. So threatening. Grow Up and stop behaving as a criminal! Censorship is illegal. 

What a total moron. The post wasn't blocked as she was able to post it. If it had been blocked there would have been a message from Facebook telling you it was blocked because it goes against their community standards. 

The link didn't parse because it was a bad link which is why a box telling her that the content is not available popped up. It is still a bad link. Does she think this lady is being blocked and censored too:

As for the other two allegations of censorship because not many of The God Culture's 6,600 friends are being reached, that is a problem. It is NOT censorship though. Or perhaps it depends on your perspective. Facebook does not show everything on your timeline in chronological order. What you see in your news feed is based on your past interactions in order to give you the best Facebook experience. 

https://www.facebook.com/business/news/Organic-Reach-on-Facebook

The second reason involves how News Feed works. Rather than showing people all possible content, News Feed is designed to show each person on Facebook the content that’s most relevant to them. Of the 1,500+ stories a person might see whenever they log onto Facebook, News Feed displays approximately 300. To choose which stories to show, News Feed ranks each possible story (from more to less important) by looking at thousands of factors relative to each person.

Why not just show everything — every piece of content from every friend and Page — and let people decide what they want to see?

Several other online feed platforms display all content in real time. But the real-time approach has limitations. People only have so much time to consume stories, and people often miss content that isn’t toward the top when they log on. This means they often do not see the content that’s most valuable to them.

In our tests, we’ve always found that the News Feed ranking system offers people a better, more engaging experience on Facebook. Additionally, given the amount of content in the average News Feed, using a real-time system for content would actually cause Pages’ organic reach to decrease further.

The short answer is there is too much content so Facebook curates everyone's newsfeed in order that they see what is most relevant to them based on their Facebook usage. That means if someone Likes The God Culture but does not regularly interact with their page then they won't be seeing the latest updates.

But there are tips and tricks to fix this plastered all over the internet. It is rather strange that Timothy Jay  Schwab, a man trained in marketing, does not know how to properly utilize Facebook to market his company. I guarantee he has no idea what FB Purity is and how it can force Facebook to show you things chronologically. It's not a conspiracy, it's not illegal, and it sure is not censorship. It's funny how The God Culture is always howllng about censorship when it is THEY who have tried to censor me on several occasions and still seek to shut me down. That's not stopping The God Culture from liking silly Facebook conspiracy memes posted in their comment section.

https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=3462714627152783&set=p.3462714627152783&type=3&theater

I have indicated above that Solomon's Treasure co-author Anna Zamoranos, interesting that Tim's second wife does not use her third husband's surname on the cover of the book they claim to have co-authored, is making all these wild and hysterical accusations against Facebook and I have a good reason. That's because on her own business page she is posting the same God Culture material albeit minus the wild, and I dare say libelous, accusations of censorship.

https://www.facebook.com/annarose.z.3

Anna's name is clearly listed under the Team Members section again with no indication she is a Schwab. Why would anyone post non-relevant materials on their business page? Shouldn't she be posting real-estate listings? Though there is a pinned post from 2017 the last post about real-estate is dated February 7th, 2019. That is almost two years ago. Maybe the real-estate market isn't so hot in Tim and Anna's hometown of San Fernando, La Union?

It makes more sense when you realize that The God Culture is spamming their book info all over their social media pages. Go to Youtube and read the comment section. All their replies to responses are huge walls of text with links and other matters that are in the video description and in their first pinned comment. That is completely unnecessary and actually quite rude. It's real interesting that instead of making this book about the Philippines available in the Philippines first they chose to use Amazon which takes a few weeks to ship here.

Now all this might seem inconsequential and even like a bit of needless drama but it's actually quite relevant. You see with this book The God Culture is claiming to be amending scholarship and restoring the lost history of the Philippines. Will they be doing interviews on TV or radio or other popular media? Will the media pick up the story of their book? 

The God Culture claims to have a "profound scientific method" to prove all their claims. They actually claim that NO ONE has disproved their research.

After 4 years, no one has disproven these findings... I repeat NO ONE! Not a single Rabbi, theologian, pastor, certainly no bloggers or other channels... NO ONE!

https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=686528068573880&id=376627072897316

Tim and Anna are very bold to make such claims with a straight face. I have been thinking of the Golden Chersonese of late because there are several references to it in a book I am currently reading which has nothing at all to do with the subject at hand. Incidentally there are many parallels between the methods and intent of Godfrey Higgins and Timothy Jay Schwab. Much of Tim's research rests on the identity of the Golden Chersonese and the island called Chryse. He wrongly conflates the two identifying them as the Philippines. That mistake is enough to disprove his findings and I have written at length about this very thing. 

It's not as if Tim and Anna actually care about historical realities. Tim has made it clear that they are not proving a historical case.

"Remember one thing though. We are not proving an historical case here. That is not what this is. That is not what we ever claimed it to be. We are proving a multi-disciplined position with strong pose across-the-board. The reason our foundation is incredibly strong is because we set it in scripture and that is solid rock." 

https://philippinefails.blogspot.com/2020/04/the-god-culture-finding-chryse-dont.html 

What do we see time and time again when The God Culture is confronted about their false claims but lashing out and naming calling and threats of one kind or another? Not rational discussion. That they cannot even utilize Facebook properly and freak out when they post a bad link is just icing on the paranoid cake. They are also spreading disinformation about Facebook because they do not care to look hard enough to find out what is actually happening. No one has ever accused The God Culture of being good and reliable researchers!

If you think these people who cannot even utilize Facebook properly are going to rewrite and correct the history of the Philippines then I've got some Ocean Realty in Arizona to sell you.
