The God Culture: The Garden of Eden Revealed Book Review

Timothy Jay Schwab who is the God Culture has released a new book titled The Garden of Eden Revealed: The book of Maps. This time around Tim is placing all his nonexistent cartographical skills on display as he examines 75+ maps proving that the Garden of Eden is in the Philippines. The problem is that, according to Tim, the Garden of Eden was submerged beneath the floor of the Sulu Sea during the flood which means NO MAP can ever tell us where the Garden is located nor is the Garden of Eden actually in the Philippines. 

Oddly enough Tim has declined to release an e-book PDF version because the maps are high resolution. That is no excuse as there are plenty of high-res maps available on the internet including those he employs. Where do you think he got the maps in this book? Since there are 75+ maps it would be too unwieldy to review every one in detail so I shall concentrate on summarizing the obvious errors and lies which are numerous and leap off every page.

First it should be noted that no map showing paradise was charted in order to give its precise geographical location. According to the author of Mapping Paradise, Alessandro Scafi:

Topological mapping, based as it is on internal reciprocal rather than external relationships between units (temporal events as well as spatial features) can reach a rigour and a rationality of its own. The topological characteristics of medieval mappae mundi (and of many other kinds of map, modern as well as medieval) have to be grasped if they — and, above al, the presence of paradise on them —are to be properly understood. Thus, the first thing to bear in mind when looking at paradise on a medieval mappa mundi is that this kind of map was not created to inform the observer of the precise latitude, longitude and size of the Garden of Eden, but to demonstrate its contiguity to the inhabited earth.

In structuring their maps, then, all medieval map makers (except those responsible for nautical charts) were working to fundamentally different principles from those of their modern counter parts.

Mapping Paradise, pg. 87

According to Scafi map makers who placed Paradise on their maps did so with the knowledge that Eden was geographically inaccessible. In fact such maps incorporated Eden and other Biblically important locales to show forth "a corresponding geography of salvation."

The challenge for the Christian compilers of maps was to combine geographical knowledge with the biblical world view. Belief in an earthly Eden urged them to render visible in their world maps a place that was geographically inaccessible (yet linked to the inhabited earth by the four rivers) and remote in time (yet still relevant as the scene of an essential episode of salvation history). A process of Christianisation of classical geography had been taking place since the early centuries of the Christian era. Traditional geographical ideas about the dimensions of the globe, its division into parts and the listing of the peoples and provinces of the inhabited world were adopted and refined to accommodate Christian themes, a process in which the Garden of Eden featured prominently.

For the scribes and artists responsible for the maps, the history of salvation brought about a corresponding geography of salvation. Most of the biblical places – specific points on earth where, according to the Bible, God’s intervention had taken place – were locatable in well known regions. Although very different from our modern representations of the earth, however, medieval maps were not devotional, pastoral or theological documents. Nor were they tools of religious propaganda or sermons in visual form. Rather, they were representations of the world according to a particular conception, one that took into account the scriptural text and the teachings of the Christian faith. Assessed on their own terms, the medieval maps of the world were in fact no less scientific than any other type of map.

Maps of Paradise, pg, 46

This would explain why Jerusalem is the center of the earth on these maps. That is where Jesus Christ died, resurrected, and ascended into heaven. The death and resurrection of Christ is the center of our salvation and the Garden of Eden is the beginning of mankind from which all proceeds. Keeping these things in mind, that maps locating the Garden of Eden in the east are symbolical and not precise geography, let us see what Tim has to say about the maps in his book. 

In chapter one Tim writes:

Can the Garden of Eden be located? We have heard this question often but it is the wrong query. We should be asking: Did the ancients know at least roughly the region which house this earthly Paradise? If so, who were their markers associated and how do we accurately transpose those onto our modern maps?

Garden of Eden Revealed, pg. 10

Thus Tim is going to be interpreting all the maps he uses showing the Garden of Eden in the East and on the Earth as being literal. The main marker for finding the Garden is gold. That means the location of Garden is below a land full of gold and other treasures. If one finds the land of gold one finds the Garden of Eden.

If the ancients knew that the Garden was locked up and no longer accessible, why were they obsessed with its location? Why search for it at all? Again, it is covered within the Earth under the land of gold, pearl, and onyx stone which Ophir and brothers returned to this land after the Flood.

pg. 24-25

This literalism leads Tim to declare the removal of Eden from modern maps during the Renaissance is part of a conspiracy to hide the Garden of Eden.

The Hebrew language was certainly equating this, but we kept noticing map after map that identified the area of the Philippines Southeast of China, which is a huge marker, and one that does not really move in the transition to a new map format in the so-called Renaissance. It is incredible how much knowledge was lost in this shift which in this arena, was a continuation and even deepening of the Dark Ages.

pg. 5

As ever with Tim the British are the main culprits behind the changing of the maps and the removal of The Garden of Eden.

Of course, the illiterate British paradigm which walks back history a thousand years, knows very little of these concepts because they choose so. Their feigned unfamiliarity spouted by one historian after another is not a debate point. We do not give credence to childish debate from those who cannot even read because they concede as a group to ignore the very references that claim to disseminate in propaganda. That's a worthless colonial view steeped in the worst racism in history. Oops!

pg. 39

Why are medieval maps so different from modern maps? Why did they place the Garden of Eden in the Far East? Because they were working from the perspective of Noah and Enoch. 

However, in creating these ancient maps, they were really applying this same perspective, knowingly or not. Enoch is the origin and accurately so.

pg. 32

Noah understood the world from his grandfather Enoch and together, they represent the entire origin of this perspective continued through the ages until fairly recently when they lost the Garden of Eden and land of gold.

pg. 39

To claim that these medieval map makers were working from the perspective of Noah and Enoch is total balderdash and is to rip them from their context and put them in Tim's context. According to Tim in Noah and Enoch's perspective the earth is flat, the North Pole is the center of the world, and there are antipodes, i.e. North and South America and Australia. We see none of that on these medieval mappae mundai. Aside from that the Books of Enoch and Jubilees were never a part of the canon and never in use until recently. To interpret these maps literally via Enoch and Jubilees is to not understand them. Remember according to Alessandro Scafi, a real scholar who has actually analyzed medieval maps showing the Garden of Eden:

the history of salvation brought about a corresponding geography of salvation.

Thus these maps are symbolic.

The rest of this book is the same old junk Timothy Jay Schwab spews in all his videos. He spends a great deal of time going over the locations of Chryse and Argyre, the Aurea Chersonese, Ophir, and Tarshish. One could say this book is a bait and switch because rather than revealing the location of the Garden of Eden by analyzing medieval maps alone Tim merely uses those maps as a prop to regurgitate the same old information he has already produced in his videos about the Philippines being the ancient land of gold to which all nations flocked for riches. And all of it is wrong.

There are the same errors about the location of Cattigara, the provenance of Martin Behaim's map, and  the identification of the Lequios. For instance Tim has drawn a map allegedly showing that the Spanish mapped the route to Ophir which ended in the Philippines. 

pg. 104-105

But as I have proven many times in this blog the Lequios are NOT the same as the Lucoes. The Lequios are situated farther north near Japan and are what we know today as the Ryukyu Islands. Tim shows a map with this very identification and calls it propaganda.

pg. 106

Portion of Maris Pacific by Abraham Ortelius. This map was published in 1589 in his Theatrum Orbis Terrarum. It was not only the first printed map of the Pacific, but it also showed the Americas for the first time. Luzon was Lequios before Taiwan was given the Philippines name just as Japan was given such. It is propaganda.

Does Tim not see there are the Lequios grande and Lequios pequenno? That is NOT Taiwan. Those are the Ryukyu Islands! Ferdinand Pinto was shipwrecked on those islands and placed them at 29 degrees north. 

In this manner we departed from Pungor the capital City of the Island of Lequios, of which I will here make a brief relation, to the end that if it shall one day please God to inspire the Portugal Nation, principally for the exaltation and increase of the Catholick faith, and next for the great benefit that may redound thereof, to undertake the Conquest of this Island, they may know where first to begin, as also the commodities of it, and the easiness of this Conquest. We must understand then that this Island of Lequios, scituated in nine and twenty degrees, is two hundred leagues in circuit, threescore in length, and thirty in bredth.

Pinto, pg. 188

How can Tim be trusted to correctly interpret the maps in this book when any map which contradicts him is brushed off as propaganda and he ignores what Fernando Pinto actually wrote? How can he be trusted to interpret the linguistics of these maps when he still confuses and conflates Lucoes and Lequios being unaware that they do not refer to the same peoples? They are not even pronounced the same as the "c" in Lucoes is soft and not hard. The answer is he cannot and should not be trusted with the task. 

There are many more of the same errors in this book but it is not worth the time to go through all of them.

The bottom line is Timothy Jay Schwab's book The Garden of Eden Revealed is wholly worthless as he is not interested in understanding the maps locating paradise within their proper milieu. Instead Tim wrenches these maps out of all context bescumbering them with his erroneous interpretations as propaganda for the Philippines all the while rudely excoriating those who do not share his views and demand proof for his claims by calling them retards incapable of thinking. 

We realize the academic scoffer would then demand archaeology of this house or they will never believe it. Who cares? They have no position as who is dumb enough to leave gold sitting there as a museum for those to discover after the land was devoured for gold in the Spanish and American eras. How ridiculous! These are uncapable of thinking. They set up false narratives and then, demand that everyone operate in the same obtuse manner they employ. That is retarded.

pg. 128

"Uncapable" is not even a proper word. Tim is in desperate need of an editor. 

Tim does not care to understand these maps as they were written but abuses them for what "proof" they can furnish for the Philippines being the Garden of Eden. For Tim it's a simple formula: The Garden of Eden is in the East, the Philippines is in the East, therefore all maps with The Garden of Eden in the East must mean the Philippines is being described. 

But as Tim teaches the Philippines is not the Garden of Eden anyway because it is submerged beneath the floor of the Sulu Sea and is inaccessible except to its lone inhabitants Enoch and Elijah. Once again Timothy Jay Schwab who is The God Culture has given the world a book that is stunning in its ignorance and is fit only for wastepaper. But at least it looks good. 

The God Culture: Tracts

There's a lot of things Timothy Jay Schwab who is The God Culture does not tell his listening audience. For instance he has not told his audience that he will be hosting a show with Zen Garcia once a month. Instead he only sends a notification AFTER the show has ended which means no one can watch live unless they know about it beforehand. Tim will be on with Zen every third Thursday of the month. Check out Zen's calendar if you want to listen. 

Tim has also not told his audience that he has tracts available to hand out on the street.

Those are the tracts available at the moment. But not available online or anywhere else except from Timothy Jay Schwab himself. That is what Koki Cruz says.

Praises Yahuah for printing of another 7,500 Tracts. It’s Worth investing for eternal dividends. Thanks to all those who participated in the distibution of the 15,000 Tracts in Tugegarao and Penablanca, Cagayan Valley, in Tabuk City of Kalinga, Davao, Makati, Quezon City and distributed by Sabbath Believers Congelation in Baguio City. Thanks also for my partner The God Culture - Original  Founder Bro Timothy Schwab and Sis Anna, for your labor of love for preparing the tracts which we discussed when we were in Bacolod.

https://www.facebook.com/reel/1117283496162704

According to her Facebook reel these tracts cost a whopping 90,000 pesos!!!

That's a lot of money to spend in order to spread lies to her fellow kababayns. 

Just look at these people smiling as they prepare to lie to the Filipino public about what the Philippines is and what the Bible teaches. You can bet they have swallowed Tim's falsehoods without bothering to test him to see if what he says is true. 

https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=6853267768050241&set=pcb.6853275758049442

It appears these tracts are being handed out with pens.

https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=6853270928049925&set=pcb.6853275758049442

Now, why are they handing out pens along with the tracts? Is there something inside which requires a pen such as a quiz? It is too bad there are no pictures of the contents of these little booklets. However, anyone familiar with this blog and with The God Culture knows exactly what is in them. 

The first tract is undoubtedly about how the Philippines is Ophir, Tarshish, and Sheba and The Garden of Eden is underneath the Sulu sea. The second tract is about Tim's ridiculous configuration of the name of God from YHWH to Yahuah. The third is all about not doing any work on Saturday. 

The cover of the last one is so egregious because there is a citation of Matthew 11:28. Jesus said come unto ME for rest. He did not say do no work on Saturday for rest. Our rest is found through faith in Christ not in doing no work on Saturday. It's simply a ridiculous lie Tim has repeated ad nauseam in his books and videos. He is literally turning Filipinos away from the saving rest of Jesus Christ. The tract may be titled "In God We Rest" but that is not what Tim actually believes or teaches when he says we must keep the seventh day sabbath.

Likewise the cover of the second book about the name of God is pretty awful.   

The Father • The Son • His People

With the lack of mention of the Holy Spirit that is a subtle denial of the Trinity. Tim is on record declaring that the Holy Spirit is not God and positing that He may actually be a creature. 

So, if you are at the mall watch out! You just might get God Culture'd by a group of smiling children handing out one of Timothy Jay Schwab's tracts and a pen. Leave the tract, take the pen.

The God Culture: Bongbong Marcos Prophesied to Be President In 2022?

Timothy Jay Schwab of The God Culture has opened Pandora's Box with his historical and prophetical revisionist project concerning the Philippines. He really has no one to blame but himself for all the kooks he attracts to his equally kooky group.

WHEN DOES THE BIBLE DAY BEGIN? Brief Recap. Answers In Jubilees 36

This video is part of Tim's Answers in Jubilees series. It is a recap video summarizing videos 34 and 35  in the series as well as a few other videos concerning when the day begins.  That means it's a complete waste of time. Instead of telling his audience something new from Jubilees he harps on a subject he has continually blabbed about, the correct calendar. He already did a 16 part series last year about the Sabbath and when the day begins. Why waste our time with an unnecessary recap about a subject he has already covered?

There are 26 more videos to go in this planned 52-week series and there is absolutely no way Tim will be covering the rest of Jubilees in depth and detail. It is mathematically impossible. This series has been lame from the get-go. There are 50 chapters in Jubilees and he has yet to cover a single chapter in its entirety. Some videos (2, 3, 4, 8, 10, 24) cover topics he covered in previous videos such as the division of the earth by Noah and the location of the Garden of Eden and Ophir in the Philippines. A few videos (11, 19, 34, 36) cite only two verses from Jubilees while one (17) does not cite a single verse (instead he cites from a paper about fragments of Jubilees found in the Dead Sea Scrolls) and is not even about the content of the text but is an apology for Tim's amending the translation of RH Charles by inserting the name Yahuah. Timothy Jay Schwab's Answers in Jubilees series is in no sense a systematic exegesis of the text. It is more a jumping around from verse to verse to discuss irrelevant occult, esoteric, scriptural arcana and it varies from being either heretical (video 12) to being in agreement with the legends in the Talmud (video 32).  But more about Tim's Answers in Jubilees series later.

Instead I want to focus on two comments both of which refer to Bong Bong Marcos winning the Presidency as being a part of Bible prophecy.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=huftrAaiaWA&lc=Ugw1V5kCfhrHowa5cOB4AaABAg

Sheryll Songalia Revelation 12:1-17has happened and still happening..BBM will win. A woman clothed with the sun is Philippines or Imelda. She's in labor pain..just see how filipino's treat them and what the philippines is going through, its like labor pains. The moon under her feet its because Imelda was born here in my island Leyte, Visayas and under Visayas is Mindanao. The woman has given birth to a male child, that's BBM. I remember from one of the video that the place where Adam & Eve lived is called Elda and you said Imelda..I'm Elda? And also, we have a place her that our ancestor offered to Yahuah. The place is called "Kan Ya'wah" which in english translates Kan = Belong to Ya'wah. Its in Samar my hometown. Also look at what the Red Dragon is doing now, they're acquiring our territories. As revelation says, it stood before the woman (Philippines) who is about to give birth (i believe its Bong Bong Marcos who will win the presidency in 2022) to a male child who is to rule all nations.

Sheryll Songalia and the Marcos lives in Ilocos, where the desert and the eagles came to fed

The God Culture The male child is not birthed on earth but Heaven and he stays there. No fit to this prophecy. Watch our Rev 12 videos, Parts 13A-G of Solomon's Gold Series. However, the Philippines will rise according to Messiah, Ezekiel and Isaiah and so it shall. It will do so as a nation indeed. Yah Bless.

This commenter is interpreting Revelation 12, which is a prophecy concerning a woman and her son, to be a prophecy of Imelda Marcos and Bong Bong Marcos who she says will win the presidency in 2022. She even throws Tim's own words in his face by linking Imelda's name to Elda which he says is the place where Adam and Eve were born. He gets that piece of lore from the Book of Jubilees.

Adam and Eve's land of exile in Genesis 2 is called Havilah and we have located it in the Philippines. The Book of Jubilees now equates this same land in which they were exiled to Elda, Land of the Creation twice which we now realize Genesis 3 identified all along as it is literal. Odd, Elda even sounds Filipino. The Philippines is the Land of Creation as it is Havilah.

The Search for King Solomon's Treasure: The Lost Isles of Gold & The Garden of Eden pgs. 63-64

It appears this commenter has not watched Tim's Revelation 12 series which is seven videos long and which I previously dissected in 3 articles. In fact, Tim tells this person she should watch that series because her interpretation of Revelation 12 is wrong. The man child is not Bongbong Marcos but 144,000 children who will be birthed in the throne room of God.

The 144,000 & The Innumerable Multitude. Answers In 2nd Esdras Part 14

3:10: This is a recap but a comparison of the characteristics of this man-child birthed from the woman. We find these children, as it's not just one, are the first fruit offering of this woman Israel in the end times. A special event of epic proportion where 144,000 Hebrew women, 12,000 from each tribe of the 12 tribes, birth their child in heaven as a gift to Yahuah and Yahusha. An assessment shows this man child and 144,000 are the same and both children. This is a male child, a male not defiled with women, of the 12 tribes of Israel in Israel is it's mother. Israel can only birth Israel. The man-child is conceived on earth but born in heaven

The SINGULAR male child spoken of in Revelation 12 is actually 144,000 children and the SINGULAR woman spoken of is also 144,000 women. Wrap your head around that math.

Other than correcting her about the identity of male child Timothy Jay Schwab has nothing bad to say about this ludicrous comment or Bongbong Marcos. Many of Bongbong's supporters think having him in the Palace will be a boon for the Philippines and Tim believes the Philippines will "Rise Up" in the last days which is now since we are living in the last century. 

When Is The Rapture 2: It Is Good To Be Left Behind. Answers In 2nd Esdras Part 16

12:31 We are in the last century, folks.

That's right. Jesus is coming back in 2127. 

https://philippinefails.blogspot.com/2021/09/the-god-culture-timothy-jay-schwab-says.html 

So, the Philippines has 106 years to rise up and fulfill their prophetic destiny which includes restoring the keeping of the Levtiical law in fulfill, except sacrifices of course but especially the Sabbath and Feasts. They better hurry it up. Some think Bong Bong will make that happen.

This is not the only comment The God Culture's videos have received about Bongbong Marcos being prophesied to be the next president. Here is one from a video titled, "The Eagle Destroyed. Return of the Lion. Answers In 2nd Esdras Part 12."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhzUcMz1PjY&lc=Ugz17QixzQju5a0ihyd4AaABAg

Zanderdax Jun Bong bong Marcos is just a roaring Lion to be come a President on Next year election, remember the Marcos family have 7,000 metric tons of gold all have a legal documents and in the banks around the world they have it.. And we should remember the last will and testament for humanity of great wealth of late Pres. Ferdinand Marcos will make us rise above all nations.. This is so interesting to happen..

The God Culture Yah Bless

This commenter likens Bongbong to being a prophetic roaring lion who will become president. Once he is in then it appears the will of his father Ferdinand Marcos will be properly executed and the astonishing amount of gold the Marcos family has stored in banks around the world, 7,000 metric tons, will cause the Philippines to rise above all nations. 

Timothy Jay Schwab's response to all that blatant nonsense? Yah Bless. Tim's God Yahuah blesses lies. 

I don't know what kind of President Bongbong Marcos would make if he won the election but guessing by his ridiculous nickname he would be a disaster. The first commenter mentioned "the Red Dragon" (China) is taking the Philippines' possessions which means the territory in the West Philippine Sea. Maybe she is unaware but Bongbong Marcos is not an enemy to China. In fact he agrees with Duterte's non-confrontational stance on the WPS which has allowed China to encroach on the Philippines' territory with impunity.

https://newsinfo.inquirer.net/1492366/bongbong-parrots-duterte-on-west-ph-sea-we-dont-stand-a-chance-vs-china

Former senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr., who is inclined to run for a national post in the 2022 elections, on Friday (Sept. 24) parroted President Rodrigo Duterte’s line on Chinese aggression in the West Philippine Sea, saying the Philippines can’t afford to go to war with the Asian giant. 

At an online news forum, the son of the late dictator Ferdinand Marcos said the Philippines will lose in no time should war break out. 

(The policy of engagement which the Duterte government is implementing, although it is criticized, it is the right way to go. Because whatever we do, we can’t go to war.) 

(There are those who say we buy patrol boats, then the jets, just in case we get to fight. Why would we think we will fight? Then that war will be over in less than a week. We’re defeated already, let’s not think that way.) 

He said that in a territorial conflict, going to war is one of the options “to acquire a new territory.” 

(We don’t want to do that, I don’t think the Chinese want to go to war with us. Certainly, we don’t want to go to war with China.)

Absolutely no one says we need to go to war over the WPS issue. But the Palace does need to affirm and enforce The Hague ruling. Sadly Duterte says it's just a piece of paper he would throw away. No doubt Bongbong would share that sentiment.

It was Bongbong's father who normalized diplomatic relations with China in 1975. As President Bongbong would continue to strengthen and deepen those relations.

https://globalnation.inquirer.net/199716/when-bongbong-met-xilian-strengthening-and-deepening-ties-with-china

There was no talk of his 2022 presidential bid when Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. met with Chinese Ambassador to the Philippines Huang Xilian on Wednesday for a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the Chinese Embassy in Makati City, said lawyer Victor Rodriguez.

“It was just that—a ribbon-cutting,” Marcos’ chief of staff said in a Viber message, explaining that the envoy “requested” the former senator “to cut the ribbon for his new exhibit.”

Huang said it was a “great honor” to meet the presidential aspirant and his family. Marcos was accompanied by his wife, Louise, and son Joseph Simon, and House Majority Leader Martin Romualdez.

Marcos and Huang also met earlier this year at the Chinese Embassy.

According to Huang, the new photo wall displays records of historic moments of China-Philippines relations, including a photo of then Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai and former President Ferdinand Marcos signing the Joint Communique on the Establishment of Diplomatic Relations between the Philippines and China on June 9, 1975.

“While [we] always cherish and honor old friends, we hope that more and more people from our two countries will be committed to deepening our partnership and cooperation, so as to bring more benefits to our two peoples and pass on our traditional friendship from generation to generation,” he said.

“Together, we are opening up a brighter future!” he added.

In a text message to reporters, Romualdez said Marcos and Huang discussed “strengthening and deepening ties with China,” adding that the photos displayed were “pictures commemorating the opening and developing of relations between the two countries.”

The former senator has in the past expressed agreement with President Rodrigo Duterte’s policy on the West Philippine Sea, saying that “although it is criticized, it is the right way to go.”

Both of the above commenters are theologically, politically, and historically ignorant. The perfect Filipino voters. Remember, their vote counts just as much as that of any informed voter. But not only the prefect Filipino voters, the perfect audience members for Timothy Jay Schwab and The God Culture. Tim has not said a bad word about Bongbong Marcos. Why would he when he has indicated that his father, Ferdinand Marcos, might have been unfairly maligned?

Lost Tribes Series Part 2G: The Landing of the 2nd Exodus In Ophir, Philippines

34:07 So check this out! Malacañang ti Amianan..."Bring the messenger of God from Manasseh to protect my people!" Now some may read that as Marcos and maybe it is but we are not saying that because you will find this tribe in more than one place in the Philippines and we don't know whether we can say Marcos was sent from God or not. But you know, even Solomon who was appointed and anointed by YAHUAH God did not prove out to be a very good king in the end.  Yet he was anointed by YAHUAH God. He took many riches for himself and he really taxed the people. The Bible says he was hard on his people. Not justifying but we still wonder if we even know that full story properly. Especially with all the CIA disinformation which usually bears out to have numerous falsehoods in our research. So we'll render no opinion but this palace is the story here. 

"We don't know whether we can say Marcos was sent from God or not?" Well, in a sense he was because all earthly rule comes directly from God Himself. It is he who raises up rulers and casts them down. But that is not what Tim is talking about. Tim's grasp on God's absolute sovereignty is as loose as any free-willer out there.

Tim says Solomon was sent by God and that he was hard on his people. Then he says, "Not justifying." What? Not justifying what? The horrendous and brutal twelve years of martial law that killed 3,257 people, saw 35,000 people tortured, and resulted in billions stolen by the Marcos family being squirreled away in off-shore bank accounts? Is he really going to compare the crimes of Marcos to Solomon heavily taxing and tasking the people to build the temple and his palace? There is no comparison here. Solomon was not a murderer or a thief.

And what does Tim mean he wonders "if we even know that full story properly?" There is so much eyewitness testimony to what happened and so many court trials ruling against the Marcoses to return the stolen money that it's amazing Tim could say such a thing, But that's Timothy Jay Schwab of The God Culture for you. He believes in fantasy more than he does in history. 

There are actually quite a lot of pro-Marcos comments on Timothy Jay Schwab's videos. They all concern the gold that Marcos allegedly hoarded and left to the Filipino people in his last will and testament. That is no surprise as The God Culture's thesis about the Philippines is that it is Ophir, the ancient land of gold. Here is a typical comment and response from Tim.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9yVHJz10ZE&lc=Ugz7_VfFhmX66wTHkNx4AaABAg

Ariel O. Laban The greatest evidence that this is true is the Solomons gold is in the hand of Marcos and he insured for 50 yrs and now we are little by little enjoying it and look the development of Philippines and also this gold is for the betterment of the world

The God Culture This is a very good point and even in the Marcos Will and Testament, if it is authentic and it may well be, that gold is described as the same gold in which Solomon received a supply. Interesting.

IF the Marcos Will and Testament is authentic? IF!? The will floating around that says Marcos left billions in gold to Filipinos is not authentic. A simple search will pull up the real last will and testament which the family released in 2016. Here it is:

https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/11/15/16/look-in-final-will-ferdinand-marcos-bared-burial-preference

Why does Timothy Jay Schwab keep encouraging this lie about the Marcos gold? One wonders if anyone who thinks it is genuine actually read the fraudulent last will and testament of Marcos. 

https://library.abundanthope.org/index_htm_files/Lw%20and%20t.pdf

Mr. Ferdinand Marcos ‘y Santiago (acclaimed Bongbong Marcos which the Original one was already died sometimes on year 1975).

This allegedly authentic and true legal document actually says Bongbong Marcos died in 1975 and was replaced by an impostor! That's just the tip of the iceberg of nuttiness that is this document which is clearly a work of fiction.

God only knows who will win the Presidency in 2022. Whoever wins the Philippines will remain the Philippines and Filipinos will keep on being Filipinos. That will never change. It hasn't changed in the 300 years since Gaspar de San Augustin wrote down all the characteristics of Filipinos.

The God Culture: Even More Stuff The God Culture Says

Timothy Schwab of The God Culture hasn't put out a new video in almost two month as of this writing. His last upload was June 23rd. What is he doing? Hopefully he is writing his book during this time of "rest" as he so glibly calls the nationwide economically crippling coronavirus lockdowns. No matter! There are hours and hours of him saying the most silly things which are worth taking a look at.

Did you know Tim wrote a screenplay? It's called Code 88 and it's about.....Hitler!??

Code 88 Screenplay

publication description

LOG LINE:

In pursuit of answers about family health problems, two reporters expose the terrifying dimensions of an emerging dystopia. Risen like a monstrous Phoenix from the ruins of his Berlin bunker, Adolph Hitler and his malevolent shadow organization feed like parasites off global institutions of the cold war era until having finally achieved critical mass, he reveals himself to a doom-struck population on the verge of a new world order.

SNAPSHOT SUMMARY: 

Tucker and Ashley are investigative reporters with high personal stakes in getting to the bottom of a growing epidemic they suspect is being concealed. Why are more children exhibiting signs of a severe autism like condition while certain adults plunge into the semi conscious depths of catatonic depression? Is there a link between the two, what is the cause and why are both conditions so resistant to treatment? Their dangerous search for answers across three continents leads them to the shocking discovery of a powerful shadow organization on the verge of achieving world domination. Like a deadly parasite feeding off a host, CODE 88 has penetrated global institutions while creating a super race of Serum B fueled Hunter / Killers capable of extraordinary physical feats and eager to sacrifice themselves for the cause. But even Tucker and Ashley don’t realize the staggering dimensions of what the world confronts until in the process of exposing this danger Ashley is killed by the Hunter / Killers and Tucker plunges into Serum A induced catatonia. At which point mankind shudders to learn that history’s prince of darkness, Adolph Hitler himself, still paces vengefully upon the earth on the brink of unleashing his final solution.

Apparently he co-auotherd this script with Cliff James, whoever that may be.

While Tim does often name drop the Rothschilds, Jesuits, and other groups he never comes out and says just who is actually running the show. In this synopsis of his screenplay Tim paints Hilter as "history's prince of darkness" and as a man who wants nothing more than to control the world by wrecking vengeance upon it. This is based on a fake history which ironically enough Tim continues to vomit forth even though he tells his audience to test all things and challenge tradition. In Tim's worldview, at least according to this movie script, the organization pulling the strings behind the scenes is the Nazis. The reality is of course much different.

To call Hitler "history's prince of darkness" is to ignore all of human history. One has to forget about Stalin and Mao who killed far more people then Hitler has been accused of killing. They in fact killed THIER OWN people to further their goals. Hitler did not purposely starve millions of Germans like Stalin did to the Ukrainians. Does Tim know what the Holodomor is?

Some would say that Antiochus Epiphanies is also one of history's many princes of darkness, a type of the anti-Christ who slaughtered many people and also desecrated the temple by sacrificing a pig on the altar. Tim would disagree.

Psalm 83 War: The Hasmonean Connection. Lost Tribes 8B 

31:50 There is so much more to this story that we then what we've been told on every level. Even the book of macabees reveals more than we are told about the story. In 2 Maccabees 5:11 when these happenings were reported to the king, that's Antiochus Epiphanes who was in Egypt in war with the Ptolemies at the time, so doing pretty important work. But what does he do well he thought that Judea was in revolt. Why would he think that? Something was happening right? Raging like a wild animal. Well something was definitely happening then right? I mean was he just crazy? No. He set out from Egypt, so he ended his war, and goes and took Jerusalem by storm. He ordered his soldiers to cut down without mercy those whom they met and to slay those who took refuge in their houses. There was a massacre of young and old a killing of women and children. A slaughter of virgins an infants. 

Boy this guy must be incredibly evil or this is manufactured and lined with a whole lot of leaven and that seems far more obvious to us. In the space of three days eighty thousand were lost. Forty thousand meeting a violent death and the same number being sold into slavery. See and they're attempting to paint Antiochus as the evil villain, and perhaps he was we're not saying he was a good guy at all, they forget that they just told us that there was a civil war that broke out in Judea first before his return if the Maccabees revolted in response to Antiochus well this makes no sense.

According to Tim Antiochus Epiphanies was not a good guy but all the bad stuff we know about him is just leaven which is one of the many reasons he rejects Maccabees as scripture. So if all we know about Antiochus is just leaven how can Tim even say he was not a good guy? Tim thinks the history of Antiochus in Maccabees is falsified in a conspiracy to paint him as an evil villain.

Tim talks about conspiracies all the time in his videos. But the conspiracy he believes in does not exist. The overarching conspiracy which informs Tim's fake history and blasphemous theology is that the Israelites left Israel and were replaced by others pretending to be Israelites. The northern tribes became Kurds and Filipinos while the southern tribes magically metamorphosed from Semites into Hamitic Negroes! This is simply not the case. Neither according to biology or scripture.

Filipinos, Kurds, and sub-Saharan Hamitic Negroes are not Israelites whose identity has been usurped by Ashkenazi Jews who are really Edomites in disguise. Just look at these three people groups:

A Kurd, Filipino, and American slave. Do these people look like they are from the same genetic group?

These groups are not ethnically related in any way, shape, or form. Nor will they one day return to the land of Israel. A reading of the Gospels will bear this out because not one single time does Jesus Christ accuse the Levite priests or the Jews of being impostors! Not once! Tim says otherwise.

Psalm 83 War: Synagogue of Satan Exposed. Lost Tribes 8A

45:42 These are Samaritan priests who ultimately worship Ashima, Hasehm, not Yahuah. The Habakuk commentary is dated sometime between 120 BC and 111 AD. What are they responding to in this commentary as they act? Obviously the Hasmonean period as they should. The Hasmonean revolt occurred 165 AD (BC!!!) and the Hasomenas took over 140 AD (BC!!!) this was their era that this was written. So this was responding to them usurping the high priesthood and they did not have a right to do it. There are scholars out there who are literally trying to justify this behavior and it is completely uneducated to even think about heading in such a direction. Hasmoneans have never been proven to be Levites certainly not of Aaronic blood. And since they didn't even live in Judea...come on! They weren't even lost tribes or tribes of Israel.   

Also have you ever wondered why there is never any mention of the Pharisees nor even the Sadducees in all of the Old Testament? I mean they're not even there. So where did they come from? Well this is because both parties came to power around the same time as the Hasmoneans or Maccabees. And the Essene era is basically the same time period. Rather odd that in addition to Hasmoneans you now have these new, I repeat new, factions which end up opposing Messiah short after this. And what do they do? They have complete control of the temple. They even tired to murder Messiah in the temple or in the courtyard. So this is no joke. This is serious. The enemies of Israel inhabited the temple. They took it over and Messiah was very clear who they were. He said much about them and we'll cover that in the next videos as well. 

In the sequel to this video Tim proclaims that the Levites abandoned the temple and fled to the desert.

44:20 The Aaronic Levite bloodline fled into the desert of Judea and lived in a compound where they kept a library. It was called Bethabara in Greek, Betharaba in Hebrew and it is modern Qumran which is a fraudulent name still being applied  even though one can easily from scripture identify exactly what town that  was in scripture. Joshua nails it. It's nailed in the Greek. It's nailed on the Madaba map and other maps 

Psalm 83 War: The Hasmonean Connection. Lost Tribes 8B

Later Tim even goes on so far as to accuse at least some of the Pharisees as being Nephilim!

WAS PAUL THE SON OF PERDITION? Hebrew? Pharisee? Roman? Ravenous Wolf? What Did Paul Say?

24:46 There is no placing Paul in that category or one is saying even Yahushua was fooled because he thought Paul was human and pretty sure he knew the difference and he says Paul was saved and very sure he knows the difference. Now yes he called the Pharisees the seed of Satan he says that. And the group he was talking to may have actually been Nephilim bloodlines perhaps if in fact  he meant it literally and he may have. We don't have an issue with that point necessarily but applying it to Paul we have major issue because it's a lie.

This is part of a long section where Tim is attempting to prove that not only was the Apostle Paul a human being but also an Israelite. Funny how his slide says Benjamites are Jews when the tribe of Benjamin is actually separate from the tribe of Judah and are strictly speaking not Jews. The point of all this is that Tim teaches that Pharisees are not Israelites and some may in fact be Nephilim and thus not human.

All of this stands in stark contradiction to what the Gospels say about the Pharisees and the priests in the temple. Let's start with John the Baptist who Tim claims led the group at Bethabara and maintained the library which we know as the Dead Sea Scrolls. If Tim's interpretation of the Habakkuk commentary were true then Luke 1 is a lie.

5 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth. 

6 And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless. 

7 And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were now well stricken in years. 

8 And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest's office before God in the order of his course, 

9 According to the custom of the priest's office, his lot was to burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord.

This passage alone refutes everything Tim has said. He says the Levites left the temple and hid out in the desert sometime around 140 BC. He says the enemies of Israel inhabited the temple in their stead. Yet here we have the father of John the Baptist burning incense in the temple according to the course of Abia which is one of the divisions of the priests made by David in 1 Chronicles 24. We have two choices: either Zachariah was a Levite or he was a usurper. If he was a usurper then John the Baptist is also a usurper pretending to be an Israelite. If he was a Levite then Tim's fake history crumbles into dust. The answer is obvious.

The fact that Elisabeth is said to be a daughter of Aaron also does not help Tim's case. He says the Aaronic Levite bloodline fled into the desert. If that is true then what is Elisabeth doing in Jerusalem? Does Mary her cousin, which means she too has the blood of Aaron in her veins, go all the way out to Bethabara to visit her? No.

Luke 1:39 - And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Juda; 

40 And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth.

She went to a city and visited Elisabeth at her house. Mary did not make a trip to the caves of Qumran.

When John the Baptist was baptizing he condemned the Pharisees but he never called them impostors. Instead he told them to repent.

Matthew 3:7 - But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? 

8 Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance: 

9 And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.

John recognized and admitted these Pharisees and Sadducees were blood descendants of Abraham and thus Israelites!

Likewise Jesus never condemned the Pharisees or priests as being fake Israelites and usurpers.

Matthew 23:1 Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples, 

2 Saying The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat: 

3 All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.

If the Pharisees were not Israelites how could they possibly be said to "sit in Moses' seat?" Why would Jesus say to observe what the Pharisees bade them to observe if they were strangers and enemies to Israel? Jesus said he was sent to the lost sheep of the house of Israel!

Matthew 15:24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

But we read nothing of Christ sending any disciples across Asia to the Philippines or towards Kurdistan. Instead all the ministry they did was within the vicinity of Palestine. Of course Thomas did reach India and there are churches in India that trace their roots to his ministry. But Christianity never reached the Philippines until the arrival of the Spanish. Until then they worshipped the false god Bathala whom Tim claims is Yahuah, the creator God of Genesis!

Perhaps the clearest refutation of Tim's false history and theology is John 1:11.

John 1:11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.

He came unto his own. Was Jesus a Jew or was he an Edomite, an Ashkenazi? He was a Jew and so were those who he came to including the Pharisees, Sadducees, and the common folk. When standing before the High Priest he never condemned him as being a usurper. Though in John 8 Jesus did in fact call the Pharisees vipers and say they were of their father the devil He also declares that He is a door! Is Jesus literally a door? If we take Tim's exegesis it could be that Jesus Christ is made of wood and has a handle which needs turning.

It is true that John Hyrcanus forced the Edomites to convert to Judaism and the Babylonians did put their people in the land and mixed the religion of Israel with their own. However this does not change the fact that Judah returned and when Christ was on earth he never called them out for being impostors. Nor did he reject worshipping at the temple as he even sent those he healed to the temple to make the proper sacrifices of thanksgiving.

Luke 5:14 - And he charged him to tell no man: but go, and shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing, according as Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them. 

Mary even offered up the proper sacrifice for her purification after she gave birth.

Luke 2:24 - And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.

How could Jesus send a man to the temple to offer up a sacrifice and how could Mary be properly purified according to the law if the priests ministering in the temple were enemies of Israel and of Israel's God? It defies all logic and reason. There are many more examples one could bring up such as when Christ cleansed the temple he never condemned the priests as being impostors and said the real priesthood was sequestered in the desert at Bethabara. Nor did Paul indicate any such thing as he worshipped and participated in a purification ritual at the temple in Acts 21. A proper reading of the scriptures overturns all of Tim's nonsense just as Christ overturned the tables of the moneychangers.

Let's get back to Code 88. Do you know what 88 means? It means Heil Hitler! H is the 8th letter of the alphabet. Put 14 in front of that, which stands for the 14 words, and you get 1488 which means:

"We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children. Heil Hitler."

Without a script there is no way to tell if the 14 words makes it into the final cut. But the synopsis does have hints of the New World Order. In Tim's movie two intrepid investigative journalists, Tucker and Ashley, face the NWO all on their own. But according to Tim's fake history and theology the Filipinos and the Kurds will rise up in the end times to fight the NWO.

Two Witnesses of Revelation Explained. This Will Rock Your World. Ophir, Sheba, Tarshish

The Two Witnesses are coming and they will stand in the strongest of ways and we do believe that will be the first three and a half years of the tribulation when many will rise all over the world against the corruption. But the two lands which will lead this charge will be Kurdistan and Philippines according to the words of Yahusah Himself. And the Two Witnesses will come from there as well.  

In other words other governments around the earth will be preparing for the rise of their Messiah.  They already are.  The Beast or the anti-christ, the anti-Messiah to some, also known as the Mahdi in Islam, Maitreya in the New Age mythos, and the Jewish Messiah to come as well who is not Yahusha who they reject even still, who already came.  

But these two lands, Kurdistan, Philippines, will rise against that final generation and condemn it in Messiah's words. That means they will lead a charge to repentance all over the world. Though two of them, perhaps prophets, maybe even small groups, will go to Jerusalem and prophesy for 1260 days. We believe we are already beginning to see the stage set for this as these two lands especially are lost tribes areas as is Central Africa. 

Filipinos and Kurds won't simply rise up to fight the NWO, oh no!  They will do battle with the anti-Christ himself and they will prevail. To be sure there are unique and interesting aspects to Tim's heresies such as his claim that the stage being set for Filipinos to rise up around the world is the OFW problem/program which sends Pinoys into every country.

https://youtu.be/BJ4poOYWXOM?t=261

The lost ten tribes of the northern kingdom in the Philippines through its overseas workers programs have now spread literally into every nation on earth and from Kurdistan the lost tribes have scattered into 66 countries but they retain their Filipino and Kurdish identities mostly. 

Of course that big brain drain is very detrimental to the Philippines. But it's Bible prophecy so who cares?

If Tim's movie was ever committed to celluloid it might be good. But there is already a rather interesting sci-fi film about Nazis from 1978 which everyone should watch. It's called The Boys From Brazil.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PvG_ORNxrO8

You can watch the entire movie at the link below the poster. With Laurence Olivier, Gregory Peck, and James Mason you can't go wrong. Even Steve Guttenberg plays a minor yet important role in this movie. It's a sci-fi film involving the Nazis and cloning. Did Tim take a few plot points from this film or any inspiration whatsoever?

Here's something that is not science fiction. Hitler really did promise to rise from the dead.

‘The Führer has agreed to this,’ Ribbentrop informed Karl-Hermann Frank by letter. For the first time Hitler now admitted to Ribbentrop that the war was lost. He dictated to Ribbentrop four secret negotiation points to put to the British if he got the chance. If the Continent was to survive in a world dominated by Bolshevism, then somehow London and Berlin must bury the hatchet. He instructed Ribbentrop to write secretly to Churchill in this sense. ‘You will see,’ Hitler predicted. ‘My spirit will arise from the grave. One day people will see that I was right.’

Hitler's War, pg, 823

It would take too much time to explain this quote to Tim but suffice to say Bolshevism means communism which Hitler was fighting against. And what happened when the allies won? Half of Europe, including East Germany, was sacrificed to the communists! We are told communism "died" in '89-'91 but Bolshevism still reigns supreme in the West through Cultural Marxism via the unscientific and destructive critical theory of the Frankfurt School which was forced out of Nazi Germany and ended up as part of Columbia University in New York City. 

Perhaps if one really wanted to "challenge tradition" and "prove all things" as Timothy Schwab encourages his listeners to do they would come to the conclusion that Hitler and the Nazis were right. But that is not a topic for this blog.
