The Jesus Strand: Fact Or Fiction? And Can The Gematria Chart Really Be Trusted?

 


I must confess, that I do not have time to watch a lot of online videos because I can’t always make the time to do so.  Whenever I come across a video that may have informative value or if someone shares a video link with me, often times I have to set it aside in hopes of getting around to viewing it later, but for this particular one, I had to make an exception because it appears that it has been gaining some traction and what is presented in it has some very serious ramifications for the perception of God, Jesus, and the Bible viewers may come away with after watching it, their confidence in the authority and sufficiency of the scriptures by which the Gospel of Jesus Christ is delivered and with that, their faith in the Gospel of salvation.
 
The video is called “The Jesus Strand - Neg48, Gematria & The Apostles For The Big Reveal” released on August 27 of this year by Patriot Streetfighter.  The host of the documentary is Michael Brian Protzman whose SM name is Neg 48 and with him are three others who call themselves Sabrina Gal, Brice-Esoteric Atlanta, and Toronto; prominent figures within the QAnon movement.
 
 
Introductory Segment [1]
 
 
Protzman and company base their claims off of what is known as a Gematria, a chart that assigns numerical values to letters and in this case he claims that every letter in the English has a numerical value (i.e. A=1, B=2, C=3) and so forth.  Here is the chart in its entirety:
 
 
A=1                                              
B=2                                           
C=3
D=4
E=5
F=6
G=7
H=8
I=9
J=10
K=11
L=12
M=13
N=14
O=15
P=16
Q=17
R=18
S=19
T=20
U=21
V=22
W=23
X=24
Y=25
Z=26
 
 
Protzman offers no other basis for this claim except from a Q drop called Q drop 40 which states nothing more than:
 
 
4,10,20
A,b,c,d,e......[2]
 
 
It needs to be noted that many of the Q drops are obscure and subject to interpretation and as people have tried to decipher and continue to decipher as to what they could possibly mean, a myriad of different opinions, theories, and speculations have arisen within the QAnon movement as to what each Q drop could mean and in the case of Q drop 40, Protzman believes that the numbers and letters are referring to President Trump and he deduces this by matching letters within the alphabet with their supposed numerical value.
 
Now, it is a well-known fact that the Latin alphabet has a numerical system assigned to it (I=1, II=2 and so on) and if any of you happen to have a grandfather clock or one ought similar, you know what I am talking about.  The Latin alphabet is also the Latin or Roman numerical system.  And for those of you who have watched your share of cinema and play video games on regular basis, you probably have noticed that certain film and video game franchises will include Roman numerals in the titles of some of their sequels.
 
Another alphabet whose letters also serve as a numerical system is the Hebrew alphabet but when did the letters of the English alphabet ever get assigned numerical values beyond Protzman’s interpretation of Q drop 40, which may or may not be correct?  How can we be so sure that even Q is assigning numerical values to the English alphabet, and even if they are, then what is their basis for it?
 
The letters and numbers in Q drop 40 could just as easily be a code whose meaning remains yet unknown and may not have anything to do with any Gematria and even if Q is assigning numerical values to the alphabet, how can we be so sure as to the intended application?  Is the application as broad as many within the QAnon movement have assumed or is the application intended only for certain persons and entities whose identities remain presently unknown?
 
The assumption put forth by Protzman and company is that if two or more persons, entities, words, or terminologies share the same Gematria that they must bare some kind of association or relationship with one another.
 
Throughout the writing of this post, I personally put this Gematric system and their claims pertaining thereto to the test to see if there was really any validity to Protzman’s interpretation Q drop 40 and the Gematric system itself (not hard to do by the way once each supposed numerical value is matched with its respective letter in the alphabet) and checked my calculations more than once to make sure I wasn’t off on my math and the results that were produced were ironic in one case, inconclusive in others cases, and even shocking in a couple of other cases and the ones that were surprising and shocking just didn’t make any sense as to how the entities involved could anything to do with one another or be associated with one another in any way.
 
Instead of convincing me of the validity and trustworthiness of the Gematria, I found many reasons for not trusting it and why it should never be used as a basis to determine truth or fact about anyone or anything, and how unquestioning trust in this system could lead someone to a wrong way of thinking, adherence to wrong beliefs, and wrong conclusions about a lot of things, and how, instead of leading someone from dark to light, it could lead many away from the light and into the darkness, which I will later go into.
 
Further into the introduction, Sabrina Gal claims that that the Bible was edited, and there are actually as many as 888 books of the Bible that were removed from the traditional canon on the basis that the Vatican is holding books that we have not actually seen.  Then how does she know that any so-called missing books of the Bible are among them?  Even the known apocrypha and pseudigrypha circulated throughout both OT and NT times are not nearly as many as she claims.
 
I will not dispute that the Vatican may hold secrets that are yet to be revealed, (and if they were all revealed, Vatican-gate would be a thousand times greater than Water-gate) but if no one has seen these missing scriptures, then how is it that Sabrina Gal has access to them? And why isn’t she sharing them with the public?
 
Anyone could just as easily claim that the Lost Ark of the Covenant is hidden in the Vatican or underneath the White House but that doesn’t mean it’s in either one of those places.
 
I do not dispute the fact that most of our modern-day Bible translations have indeed been edited (i.e. the NIV) and not only that, but in some cases, some versions such as the Message Bible were produced with no concern for accuracy whatsoever but there is no historical evidence, with the exception of the OT apocrypha, that the traditional canons ever underwent the editing process that she claims which will be addressed shortly
 
The most trustworthy Bible translations that we can ever have in our possession are the Geneva and KJV Bibles.  The producers of both, with the use of the manuscripts they had available at the time, took great pains to ensure that all scripture was accurately translated into the English language, word for word, as the preservation of doctrinal integrity was paramount to them.
 
If anyone has any doubts as to the reliability of any Bible translations, I would advise acquiring a Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance that can be used to test the accuracy of any Bible version by cross-checking them with the Greek and Hebrew.

The Brice-Estoteric Atlanta Segment [3]
 
 
 
Brice-Esoteric Atlanta starts out about how she didn’t find the pseudigrapha but that it found her but that doesn’t mean that everything that finds you is necessarily of God.  Recall that Eve did not seek out the serpent.  The serpent came to her (Gen. 3:1) and as pointed out by scripture, the serpent obviously was never sent to her by God at all; hence the terrible and dark condition that our world is presently in.
 
On the basis of the pseudigrapha, Atlanta claims that Jesus had more than 12 Apostles but as far as the four Gospels are concerned, there are no more than 12 and if there be more than twelve, then why, according to the book of Revelation, are there no more than the twelve foundations of the coming New Jerusalem representing no more than twelve Apostles? (Rev. 21:14)
 
Atlanta, like Sabrina Gal, goes on to claim that there are many more gospels that were not included in the NT canon and that have not been released by the Vatican.  But once again, the viewer is left wondering that if the Vatican has not released these books, how is it that she has access to them, and why is she not sharing them with the public?
 
She also claims that the Roman Empire had been divided up into four different sections, but this is not historically accurate.  It was only divided up into two: East and West.  The Greek Empire, after the death of Alexander the Great, was, however, divided up into four sections amongst his generals.
 
Her next claim is that the Roman Emperor Constantine never converted to Christianity and while granted that the conversion of Constantine  has been debatable, Atlanta provides no sources for viewers to investigate to support her claim that Constantine never converted to Christianity and despite her assurances that she is not trying to discredit the Gospel message, she nonetheless seems to imply that Christianity is derived from the Mithraic religion and if that was not her intention, then she should have made clear to the viewer that she was in no way suggesting that Christianity was in any way, shape or form derived from the Mithraic religion.
 
While it has been claimed by some that Christianity was derived from the Mithraic religion, as World History Encyclopedia acknowledges, there is no historical evidence supporting this claim.
In fact, the Mithraic cults were not known to have made a presence in Rome until the second century A.D. [4] Therefore, anything about their creed, legends, and traditions seeming to reflect Christianity, were borrowed from Christianity and not the other way around.
 
Atlanta goes on to claim that the emperor Constantine, at the Council of Nicea, had become the sole decider of which manuscripts would be in the Bible and which ones were not when in fact, he had nothing to do with the canonization process.  Scripture canonization had already been underway before Constantine was even born, with the majority of the New Testament already quickly accepted unanimously by the Church during the second century. The authority and authenticity of as many as eight NT epistles and books continued to remain in dispute for several centuries and though the NT canon was unanimously accepted by Greek and Latin speaking congregations by the fourth century, they still continued to remain in dispute amongst the Church in Syria for some time after the first Nicene council and according to early church historians and sources closest to the generation during which the first Nicene council took place, the reasons for the council had nothing to do with establishing the NT canon.  In fact you will not find any mention of an officially established canon of scripture within any of the 20 canons established at the first council of Nicea. [5]
 
The Nicene council was requested by Constantine to address the Arian heresy, [6-8] which denies the deity of Christ, that was causing divisions with the Church that had apparently become so fierce, Constantine feared that it might tear the Roman empire apart.  He had no part in the theological debates and therefore could not have had any influence on deciding what the NT canon would consist of. 
 
Another errant claim made by Atlanta is that Constantine ordered all the so-called lost Gospel manuscripts destroyed on pain of death.  But according to early church historians, he only ordered the works of Arius destroyed and forbade their propagation when the council voted to brand him a heretic.  There is no record of Constantine ordering the destruction of any other works, including the so-called lost gospels at least at that particular time. [9]
 
He did, however, order the writings of heretics destroyed sometime after the council was adjourned though we are not given the details as to what these writings consisted of but it is probably from Constantine’s post-Nicene edicts that the falsehood of him being the sole decider of what the NT canon was to consist of arose. [10]
 
It is believed by some that it was at the second council of Nicea that the NT canon was made official, but there appears to be no direct references to the manuscripts of any of the traditional Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant, or any other canons presently used today.  Any possible references made to the divinely inspired scriptures is found in the first canon issued by second Nicene but none of the books, manuscripts, and epistles contained in either the OT or NT canons are specifically mentioned:
 
 
We joyfully embrace the sacred canons and we maintain complete and unshaken their
regulation, both those expounded by those trumpets of the Spirit, the apostles worthy of all praise, and those from the six holy
universal synods and from the synods assembled locally for the promulgation of such decrees, and from our holy fathers. [11]
 
 
The only councils that give any recommendations as to what scriptures were to be considered divinely inspired were the councils of Laodicea and the third council of Carthage, though the two councils were not entirely agreed as to what should be read. [12-13] Contrary to popular belief, it does not appear, according to any historical documentation, that I have at least found, that the canonized scriptures read today were decided upon by any one centralized council or leadership nor does it appear that the Papacy or the Roman Catholic Church were ever involved in deciding which scriptures were divinely inspired and which ones were not but instead, the canonized NT was simply based upon what was decided to be divinely inspired by the majority of congregations at the grass-roots level.
 
Finally, after leaving the viewer wondering how it is that she has access to documents no one else has ever seen, Brice Atlanta contradicts her previous statement and that of Sabrina Gal, by citing specific lost gospels that supposedly support the claim that Jesus married Mary Magdalene and left behind biological descendants after He ascended into Heaven, citing specifically lost gospels such as The Gospel of the Nazarenes, The Apocryphon of John, The Gospel of Q
and the Gospel of Mary Magdalene which is the oft most cited pseudo-gospel to support the claim that Jesus had begotten offspring with her but not even any of the cited lost gospels to which Atlanta points say anything about Jesus marrying Mary Magdalene and producing offspring and even if they did, that does not necessarily mean that it was so since it was believed and still is today by most Christians, that these lost Gospels were fabrications written in the name of those who had known and followed Jesus when He first came to the earth but not by any of those particular people themselves.
 
[guess the Vatican released some of those secret manuscripts after all]
 
Two criteria that were paramount for purported scriptures to be accepted by the Church is that they had to be authentic accounts of the Savior when He was on the earth and they had to be in agreement with one another in regards to their teachings and doctrine. 
 
Not only was the production of fabricated writings in the name of the Apostles and others of the generation amongst whom Jesus walked, but according to Paul’s second epistle to the Church in Thessalonica gives indication that it was also a problem in the days of the Apostles as well. (2 Thess. 2:2)
 
In order to have a divinely inspired trustworthy canon of scripture, everything therein must be in agreement with one another and not in disagreement with one another.
It is not the purpose of the post to undergo an extensive review of the so-called lost gospels but just to give some insight as to why they were not accepted as genuine and divinely inspired, I will briefly share with you what I had found while searching through them:
 
 
The Gospel of the Nazarenes is simply an embellished version of the Gospel of Matthew in which a few passages therein have been altered and added to.  [14]
 
Not much to say about the Gospel of Q except that it is just combined material from Matthew and Luke so I don’t understand why Atlanta would think the Gospel of Q to hold anything significant. 
 
The Apocryphon of John reads like a Greek Myth in which the deity of the Holy Spirit is denied, Christ is a created being, and God the Father is blasphemed. [15]
 
Then there is the Gospel of Mary Magdalene, cited as evidence or proof for the so-called Jesus bloodline.  The Jesus bloodline claim is probably based on the following passage:
 
 
Peter said to Mary, "Sister, we know the Savior loved you more than all other women. Tell us the words of the Savior that you remember – the things which you know that we don't, and which we haven't heard." (M v. 10) [16]
 
 
But there is no contextual implication that Jesus and Mary ever went so far as to marry or have offspring.  It also needs to be noted that the Gospel Mary has only partially been recovered and an incomplete manuscript does not do anyone any favors.  But what is most disturbing about this so-called gospel is that Jesus is made out to deny the existence of sin:
 
 
Sin doesn't exist, but you're the ones who make sin when you act in accordance with the nature of adultery, which is called 'sin.' That's why the Good came among you, up to the things of every nature in order to restore it within its root. (M v. 7) [17]
 
 
This runs afoul of scripture like Romans 3:23, 5:12, Romans chapter 7, and various other passages of scripture that testify to the existence of sin and which describe it as the corrupted condition of our very nature.
 
There is also a Gospel of the Holy Twelve that is also referenced as well, which Brice Atlanta claims is the same as the Gospel of the Nazarenes, but after doing some research, I found that just turns out to not be the case but is actually different from the Gospel of the Nazarenes and is suspected of being a fraudulent work for several reasons and not only that, may have been written by mediums and occultists [18] which in and of itself should be very troubling to any professors of the faith.
 
If indeed, as Atlanta and Sabrina Gal claim, that our Bibles have been corrupted due to the exclusion of scriptures that should have been included in them, then what does that say about the God we worship?
 
If the God we worship is not capable of having in place, the right people at the right time to compile together a canon containing all and nothing more than that which was divinely inspired and ordained of God, then He is not the God that He has declared Himself to be and therefore not worthy of our worship for He would neither be all-knowing, all-powerful, or all-present for only a God who is capable of keeping His message preserved and uncorrupted is worthy of our worship.  And if the failure of preserving His message has nothing to do with a limitation in His attributes, then we are being subjected to a diabolical cosmic joke and in either case, we carry with ourselves a corrupted and untrustworthy canon of scripture which is not telling us everything we need to know about the God we worship, what He expects and commands of His followers, and the future of mankind.
 
But if we have in our scriptures all that is divinely inspired and authorized of God, then they who claim otherwise are misguided at best or liars and deceivers at worst who are attempting to undermine trust in the authority of scripture and with that, faith in the saving Gospel of our Lord.
 
 
Sabrina Gal’s First Segment [19]
 
 
The alleged marriage of Jesus and Mary Magdalene claim appears to be based on nothing more than a painting by Leonardo Davinci.  Without any scriptural or historical evidence, we will never be sure why Da Vinci portrayed Jesus and Mary Magdalene as being married with a baby.
 
It is theoretically possible, however, that Da Vinci may have had access to the Gospel of Mary.  There is a passage which states that Jesus loved her more than any of the other women, but it does not say that they were married or had offspring and that this veiled portrayal is likely an interpretation imposed by Da Vinci upon the text.
 
All portraits of Jesus, the Apostles, and other biblical figures are but a product of artistic speculation and cannot be a basis for establishing truth or fact.  For all anyone can tell, the so-called Holy Grail child could very easily be no more than a product of Da Vinci’s imagination.
 
Sabrina Gal refers the viewers to a website called Essene.org, run by a religious sect called the Nasorean essenes which claims its origins from the order of the blue rose, but it never gives any historical background to how the order originated, nor does it point anyone to any documented evidence that can be investigated.  For all we know, they could have fabricated this Order of the Blue Rose. [20]
 
I don’t know about the rest of you out there, but when someone makes such incredible claims like this, sources that can be investigated to verify such claims are a big deal to me.  It should be a big deal to you and thus should be demanded of those who make such claims if they are to be believed. 
 
Be warned readers, that if any of you should decide to investigate the website to which Sabrina Gal directs her viewers, it presents a Jesus foreign to the Jesus of scripture and teaches Christianity that is not the Christianity founded by either our Lord or His Apostles, but a religion that appears to be a conglomeration of Christianity, New Age philosophy, Hinduism, and Eastern mysticism and when I searched the site myself for any historical evidence supporting its claims about this blue rose order I swear I could hear the Beatles singing “Hare Krishna” inside my head.
 
Sabrina Gal also claims that Mary Magdalene was not possessed by demons according to an ancient scroll yet does not give the viewers the name of the manuscript and further claims that Jesus was arrested the morning after the last supper when the Gospels all state that He was arrested the night of the last supper.
 
She also claims that Mary Magdalene founded the order of the Blue Rose in Israel before fleeing to France because the Apostles would not allow a woman in leadership, but there is no written record of Mary Magdalene ever putting herself forth for an Apostolic role but if Sabrina Gal and Brice Atlanta had taken some time to read and study the canonized scripture and not just the questionable writings, they would have seen that Jesus had already chosen a leader to build His Church upon and that person was not Mary Magdalene.  It was Peter (Mt. 16:18, Jn. 21:15-18) as made evident in the book of Acts since he clearly became the leader of the Church in Jerusalem after Jesus ascended into Heaven.
 
The Gospels record the genealogy of Jesus as being primarily Jewish but Sabrina Gal challenges the claim of scripture by claiming that Jesus, based upon His Gematria number, appearing to be different from that of the Jews, and alleged DNA evidence from the shroud of Turin and this is where this post really begins to focus on the trustworthiness of the Gematria system insofar as it pertains to the Christian faith.
 
The Gematria number of the Jewish people she cites as being 57 whereas the Gematria number of Jesus is 74 but that in and of itself does not necessarily falsify the genealogical record of Jesus or disqualify Him from being an ethnic Jew nor does it make Him a Druze.  For example, if the Gematria of the names of Mario and Luigi, which are Italian names, do not match the ethnicity with which they are associated, does that mean that Mario and Luigi are not Italian?
 
If the name of Benjamin Netanyahu does not gematrically match up with his ethnicity, does that mean he’s not Jewish?
 
What if Roma Downey’s name, if anybody still knows who she is, doesn’t gematrically match up with that of her ethnicity? Are you going to tell her she’s not Irish?
 
If Ben Carson’s name does not gematrically match up with his African ancestry, are you going to tell him that he is not black or really of African descent, or if Dinesh D’szousa’s name does not gematrically match his ethnicity, that he’s not Indian?
 
If you start telling people that they are not of a particular ethnic group or even descended from a particular ethnicity on the mere basis of a gematric inconsistency, how well do you think that will go over?  Not very well.  In fact, some people might actually inflict bodily harm upon you.
 
Can anyone actually begin to at least understand where I am coming from here?  Such conclusions would not make any sense.  They wouldn’t even be logically sound.
 
Despite the appearance of a match between the Gematria of Jesus and the Druze, both of which unarguably do add up to 74, it needs to be pointed out that Druze is not always spelled with a “z.”  It can also be spelled with an “s” and if spelled with an “s”, (Druse) [21] then the Gematria of that religious sect does not add up to 74.  It instead will add up to 67.  Druze have also been called Duruz, (90) Duroz, (84) and the Tawhid Faith; (109); [22] all of which have different Gematrias. So, which would be the correct Gematria for the Druze? 74, 67, 90, 84, or 109?  How  is that determination made?
 
It also needs to be understood that the Druze are a religious sect that began as an off-shoot of Islam, originating in Egypt as early as late tenth century (996 A.D. as the earliest possible year) but became far removed from the faith over time; their name being derived from that of a controversial figure in that day whose name was Muhammad Al Darazi. [23] This all began anywhere between 963 and nearly a thousand years after the death and resurrection of Jesus and centuries after Islam began sweeping the world.
How can anyone be descended from a people who didn’t even exist in their day?
 
The Druze faith became publicly known in the year 1021 and was preached and spread widely until 1043 when the Druze no longer accepted any new converts and still do not do so to this day. [24]
 
The Druze are presently described as an eclectic monotheistic faith with their doctrine consisting of teachings from several different religions and philosophies but if a bloodline has arisen out of this religious sect, it would consist of Egyptian, Lebanese, Syrian, Jewish, and possibly Arab ancestry on the basis of their origins, certain aspects of their culture, and the locations their faith spread to before they ceased to recognize new converts and because Druze strictly marry within their own faith; rarely will any marry outside thereof. [25]
 
Aside from being a monotheistic sect whose doctrine and teachings are built upon doctrines and teachings from a number of different religious and philosophical beliefs, I cannot comment as to the nature of their teachings and practices and I am not so sure if any sources I consult would even give me reliable and honest information regarding such since only select members of their faith known as the Uqqal (the knowing or the wise) have access to the secret teachings of their scriptures and have the privilege of participating in all Druze religious ceremonies and gatherings and therefore, many of their teachings and practices remain unknown to outsiders and even to most of their members who are called Juhhal (the ignorant). [26]
 
Another thing to take into account is that Jesus happens to be a common name given to men within the Latino community and throughout Latin America and is believed to have once been a fairly common name even among Jews at one time.  In fact, in a most overlooked passage in scripture, The Apostle Paul, in his epistle to the church in Colossi, the Apostle Paul mentions a follower of Christ who is also called Jesus but also known as Justus (Col.4:11).  Now would Sabrina Gal go so far as to claim that every man who is named Jesus by their parents has some sort of blood tie to the Druze?  That would be such a preposterous thing to do.
 
But when we actually get more specific with the name of Jesus, it turns out that the Gematria of Jesus may not actually be the same as that of the Druze practitioners at all:
 
It has already been established that the name of Jesus by itself has a Gematria of 74 but when we attach the title of Christ (77) or Messiah (74) we get an entirely different result:
 
 
Jesus Christ=151
Jesus Messiah=148
Christ Messiah=151
 
 
It would appear that Jesus the Messiah has no connection to the Druze people at all.
 
And it so turns out that while the Gematria of the terms “Jew” and “Jews” do not match that of Jesus, the term “Jewish” does:
 
 
Jewish=74
Jesus=74
Messiah=74
 
 
In an ironic twist, the biblical record of the lineage through which Jesus was born is vindicated after all.  Jesus born through the line of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the tribe of Judah, King David, and Solomon, with Mary chosen to be His mother. 
 
Sabrina Gal goes on to claim that the Druze people have ancestral ties to the Midianites with Jethro, also known as Reuel and the father-in-law of Moses whom God commissioned to lead the Israelites out of Egypt and to the promised land (Ex. 2:18) but when we calculate and compare the Gematrias of everything that may be of significance to the Druze or has had some kind of impact on their religion and culture, most of the Gematrias do not match up including that of the Midianites (103), Jethro (76) whom they call Shuy’ab (76) also known as Reuel (61)
 
 
Druze=74 (if spelled with an s, it is 67)
Jethro=76
Reuel=61
Shuy’ab=76
Midian=50
Midianites=103
al-Ḥākim bi-Amr Allāh=132
Darazi=59
Kenites=83
Arabia=32
Arabs=41
Arabians=64
Ishmael=67
Ishmaelites=120
Ismail=63
Ismailites=116
Ismailis=91
Shiism=69
Shia=37
Shiite=70
Islam=54
Muhammad=74
Mohammad=68
Mohammed=72
Muhammed=79
Muslim=87
 
 
Interestingly, Muhammad, the founder Islam is the only figure whose Gematria (74) appears to be the same as that of the Druze (74) but spell Druze with an “s” instead of a “z”, or use any other variant of the name and the Gematria change and yet interestingly, the Gematria that matches that of the Druze when spelled with an “s” ends up being the same as that of Ishmael (67) from whom the Arab peoples claim to descend.  But then again, Muhammad also has more than one spelling variation which can affect what Gematria is calculated
 
There are at least four spelling variations applied to the name Muhammad; all of which, even if referencing the founder of Islam, have different Gematrias:
 
 
Muhammad: 74
Mohammad: 68
Mohammed: 72
Muhammed: 79
 
 
If applied to the same person, it would be impossible to determine which would be the correct Gematria to be applied.
 
But if the spelling variant of Muhammad possessing 74 happens to be the correct Gematria then what does that have to do with Jesus, the Jews, or the Druze?  It is well known that Muhammad regarded Jesus as a prophet and referred to Christians and Jews as “People of the book.”  At times he seems to speak very favorably of both Jews and Christians and yet at other times holds them in utter contempt; his hatred of both peoples made evident by the following Quranic passage.
 
 
“O ye who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians for friends. They are friends one to another. He among you who taketh them for friends is (one) of them. Lo! Allah guideth not wrongdoing folk.” (Surah 5:51) [27]
 
 
The Quran calls the people of the book (Jews and Christians) misguided in their respective faiths, with other passages holding contempt for the Jewish people, but it is in the Hadiths that both Christians and Jews are regarded with much more contempt than what is expressed in the Quran:
 
 
"May Allah curse the Jews and Christians for they built the places of worship at the graves of their Prophets." The Prophet was warning (Muslims) of what those had done.” (Sahih Bukhari Book 60; Hadith 121 or Vol. 4 Book 55; Hadith 660) [28]
 
 
Other Bukhari hadiths render the account: “Allah cursed the Jews and the Christians.” (Book 23; Hadith 85, 142 or Vol 2. Book 23; Hadith 414, 472) [29]
 
The following cited Hadith tells of Muhammad’s conquest of some Jewish and Christian communities, though it appears that he did allow the Jews to remain in Khaibar for a time provided that they would submit to servitude; this arrangement lasting until Umar bin Al-Kattab established his Caliphate and finally expelled them.
 
 
Umar expelled the Jews and the Christians from Hijaz. When Allah's Apostle had conquered Khaibar, he wanted to expel the Jews from it as its land became the property of Allah, His Apostle, and the Muslims. Allah's Apostle intended to expel the Jews but they requested him to let them stay there on the condition that they would do the labor and get half of the fruits. Allah's Apostle told them, "We will let you stay on thus condition, as long as we wish." So, they (i.e. Jews) kept on living there until 'Umar forced them to go towards Taima' and Ariha'. (Sahih Bukhari Book 41, Hadith 19 or Vol. 3, Book 39; Hadith 531) [30]
 
 
In some versions and accounts of the Hadiths, Muhammad sought to have the Jews, Christians, and anyone else who refused to bow to Islam expelled from the Arabian Peninsula altogether:
 
(Sahih Bukhari, Book 58, Hadith 9 or Vol. 4, Book 53, Hadith 392
Sahih Muslim, Book 32 Hadith 74 or book 19 Hadith 4366,
Book 32; Hadith 75 or book 19; Hadith 4366,
Jami At Tirmidhi Book 21; Hadiths 69 and 70 or Vol. 3,
Book 19, Hadiths1606, and 1607,
Bulugh Al Maram, Book 11; Hadith 1341 or Book 11; 1315,
Musnad Amhad Book 2; Hadith 136) [31-37]
 
 
Because Muhammad would not allow for different religions to co-exist in the Arabian Peninsula; determined to place all of Arabia under the rule of his religion alone.
 
 
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Two deens shall not co-exist in the Arabian Peninsula."
 
Malik said that Ibn Shihab said, ''Umar ibn al-Khattab searched for information about that until he was absolutely convinced that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, had said, 'Two deens shall not co-exist in the Arabian Peninsula,'…(Muwatt Malik Book 45; Hadith 18 or Book 45; Hadith 1618) [38]
 
 
And instituted a death sentence for any Muslim turning away from Islam to another religion:
 
 
They but wish that ye Should reject Faith, As they do, and thus be
On the same footing (as they): But take not friends
From their ranks Until they flee In the way of God
(From what is forbidden).  But if they turn renegades,
Seize them and slay them Wherever ye find them;
And (in any case) take No friends or helpers
From their ranks (Surah 4:89) [39]

 
Some Zanadiqa (atheists) were brought to `Ali and he burnt them. The news of this event, reached Ibn `Abbas who said, "If I had been in his place, I would not have burnt them, as Allah's Messenger forbade it, saying, 'Do not punish anybody with Allah's punishment (fire).' I would have killed them according to the statement of Allah's Messenger, 'Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him.'" (Sahih Bukhari Book 88, Hadith 5 or Vol. 9, Book 84, Hadith 57) [40]
 
Yahya related to me from Malik from Zayd ibn Aslam that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "If someone changes his deen - strike his neck!"
 
The meaning of the statement of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, in our opinion and Allah knows best, is that "if someone changes his deen, strike his neck!" refers to those who leave Islam for other than it - like the heretics and their like, about whom it is known. They are killed without being called to tawba because their tawba is not recognised. They were hiding their kufr and publishing their Islam, so I do not think that one calls such people to tawba, and one does not accept their word. As for the one who goes out of Islam to something else and divulges it, one calls him to tawba. If he does not turn in tawba, he is killed. (Muwatta Malik Book 36, Hadith 15 or Book 36, Hadith 1419) [41]
 
 
Islam not only eradicated all other faiths from the Arabian Peninsula, it didn’t stay within the Arabian confines.  Muhammad set his sights on expanding his religion beyond Arabian borders, even threatening Byzantium and Rome, being under Christian rule, with warfare if they did not embrace Islam. 
 
 
Allah's Messenger wrote to Caesar and invited him to Islam and sent him his letter with Dihya Al-Kalbi whom Allah's Messenger ordered to hand it over to the Governor of Busra who would forward it to Caesar. Caesar as a sign of gratitude to Allah, had walked from Hims to Ilya (i.e. Jerusalem) when Allah had granted Him victory over the Persian forces. So, when the letter of Allah's Messenger reached Caesar…I invite you to Islam (i.e. surrender to Allah), embrace Islam and you will be safe; embrace Islam and Allah will bestow on you a double reward. But if you reject this invitation of Islam, you shall be responsible for misguiding the tillers (i.e. your nation). O people of the Scriptures! Come to a word common to you and us and you, that we worship. None but Allah, and that we associate nothing in worship with Him; and that none of us shall take others as Lords besides Allah. Then if they turn away, say: Bear witness that we are (they who have surrendered (unto Him)..(3.64) Abu Sufyan added, "When Heraclius had finished his speech, there was a great hue and cry caused by the Byzantine Royalties surrounding him, and there was so much noise that I did not understand what they said. So, we were turned out of the court. When I went out with my companions and we were alone, I said to them, 'Verily, Ibn Abi Kabsha's (i.e. the Prophet's) affair has gained power. This is the King of Bani Al-Asfar fearing him." Abu Sufyan added, "By Allah, I remained low and was sure that his religion would be victorious till Allah converted me to Islam, though I disliked it."(Sahih Bukhari Book 56, Hadith 153, or Vol. 4, Book 52, Hadith 191) [42]
 
 
And another account going into greater detail.
 
 
"In the name of Allah the Beneficent, the Merciful (This letter is) from Muhammad the slave of Allah and His Apostle to Heraclius the ruler of Byzantine. Peace be upon him, who follows the right path. Furthermore I invite you to Islam, and if you become a Muslim you will be safe, and Allah will double your reward, and if you reject this invitation of Islam you will be committing a sin of Arisiyin (tillers, farmers i.e. your people). And (Allah's Statement:)
 
'O people of the scripture! Come to a word common to you and us that we worship none but Allah and that we associate nothing in worship with Him, and that none of us shall take others as Lords beside Allah. Then, if they turn away, say: Bear witness that we are Muslims (those who have surrendered to Allah).' (3:64).
 
Abu Sufyan then added, "When Heraclius had finished his speech and had read the letter, there was a great hue and cry in the Royal Court. So we were turned out of the court. I told my companions that the question of Ibn-Abi-Kabsha) (the Prophet Muhammad) has become so prominent that even the King of Bani Al-Asfar (Byzantine) is afraid of him. Then I started to become sure that he (the Prophet) would be the conqueror in the near future till I embraced Islam (i.e. Allah guided me to it)."
 
The sub narrator adds, "Ibn An-Natur was the Governor of llya' (Jerusalem) and Heraclius was the head of the Christians of Sham. Ibn An-Natur narrates that once while Heraclius was visiting ilya' (Jerusalem), he got up in the morning with a sad mood. Some of his priests asked him why he was in that mood? Heraclius was a foreteller and an astrologer. He replied, 'At night when I looked at the stars, I saw that the leader of those who practice circumcision had appeared (become the conqueror). Who are they who practice circumcision?' The people replied, 'Except the Jews nobody practices circumcision, so you should not be afraid of them (Jews).
 
'Just Issue orders to kill every Jew present in the country.'
 
While they were discussing it, a messenger sent by the king of Ghassan to convey the news of Allah's Messenger to Heraclius was brought in. Having heard the news, he (Heraclius) ordered the people to go and see whether the messenger of Ghassan was circumcised. The people, after seeing him, told Heraclius that he was circumcised. Heraclius then asked him about the Arabs. The messenger replied, 'Arabs also practice circumcision.'
 
(After hearing that) Heraclius remarked that sovereignty of the 'Arabs had appeared. Heraclius then wrote a letter to his friend in Rome who was as good as Heraclius in knowledge. Heraclius then left for Homs. (a town in Syrian and stayed there till he received the reply of his letter from his friend who agreed with him in his opinion about the emergence of the Prophet and the fact that he was a Prophet. On that Heraclius invited all the heads of the Byzantines to assemble in his palace at Homs. When they assembled, he ordered that all the doors of his palace be closed. Then he came out and said, 'O Byzantines! If success is your desire and if you seek right guidance and want your empire to remain then give a pledge of allegiance to this Prophet (i.e. embrace Islam).'
 
(On hearing the views of Heraclius) the people ran towards the gates of the palace like onagers but found the doors closed. Heraclius realized their hatred towards Islam and when he lost the hope of their embracing Islam, he ordered that they should be brought back in audience.
 
(When they returned) he said, 'What already said was just to test the strength of your conviction and I have seen it.' The people prostrated before him and became pleased with him, and this was the end of Heraclius's story (in connection with his faith). (Sahih Bukhari Book 1, Hadith 7 or Vol. 1, Book 1, Hadith 6) [43]
 
 
The Byzantines did not embrace Islam during the life-time of Muhammad but did fall to invading Islamic hordes after his death.
 
The only way anyone would be to retain their respective faith under Islamic rule is if they were to pay what is called a Jizyah or protection tax.  The following Hadith cites on such example of a ruler being given this option rather than face war:
 
 
Our Prophet, the Messenger of our Lord, has ordered us to fight you till you worship Allah Alone or give Jizya (i.e. tribute)
(Sahih Bukhari Book 58, Hadith 3 or Vol. 4, Book 53, Hadith 386) [44]
 
 
And it has been so to this day in every Muslim dominated country and locale.  And the governing authorities can charge the Dhimmis whatever rate they want and the proceeds go to expanding the Islamic religion and empire and even if non-Muslims are granted the right to practice their respective faith in the privacy of their own home, it is often illegal for people of other faiths to openly evangelize and can often lead to fines, imprisonment or even death and those Muslims who leave Islam for another religion face anything including a job loss or loss of livelihood, ostracization by family and friends, imprisonment, torture, and even a death sentence.
 
There are very few Christians dwelling in Muslim dominated nations and almost no Jews.  In fact, the Muslim world would love nothing more than to wipe every Jew off the face of the planet because they believe that unless they do, the final hour will not come:
 
 
 
Allah's Messenger said, "You (i.e. Muslims) will fight with the Jews until some of them will hide behind stones. The stones will (betray them) saying, 'O `Abdullah (i.e. slave of Allah)! There is a Jew hiding behind me; so kill him.'" (Sahih Bukhari Book 56, Hadith 138 or Vol. 4, Book 52, Hadith 176) [45]
 
Allah's Messenger said, "The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. "O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him." (Sahih Bukhari Book 56, Hadith 139 or Vol. 4, Book 52, Hadith 177) [46]
 
 
 
If two figures share the same Gematria, one might assume that the two figures are somehow associated or aligned with one another but as both History, the severe persecutions that Christians routinely face in Islamic nations, and the teachings of Islam point out, Christianity and Islam are anything but aligned with one another, but have been in constant conflict since Muhammad sought to eradicate Christianity from the Arabian Peninsula.  It was also the threat of Islam to which the crusades began as a defensive measure to defend Europe from the invading Islamic hordes; not saying that the crusades themselves were always carried out with noble intent, but had it not been for the crusades, Europe and possibly all of western civilization would likely be under Islamic control today.
 
It must also be noted that the first century followers of Christ had no interest in creating an earthly empire but to win as many people as possible over to Christ as they possibly could.  If the message of the Gospel was not well received, they would just simply move on.  Their hope was not in the establishment of an earthly kingdom or empire, but in the one to be established by Christ Himself upon His return. (Rev. 19-20)
 
But Islam, ever since its inception, has been imperialistic and globalist.
 
Muhammad happens to be a very common name in the Arab and Islamic world so perhaps the Gematric connection between the names of Jesus and Muhammad may have nothing to do with founder of Islam, but with another Muhammad:  Muhammad Ad-Darazi from whose name the name of the Druze faith is derived; only the Druze do not consider Darazi the founder of their faith, but denounce him as a heretic.  The Druze identification was actually placed upon them by their detractors, probably as an insult. [47-48]
 
So, at this point it has been found that Jesus does in fact share the same Gematria as the Jews when we use the term “Jewish” instead of “Jew” or “Jews” thus affirming the biblical account of His bloodline and ruling out any possibility of anyone being descended from Jesus or the other way and besides that, because “Druze” has more than one spelling variant, it is made uncertain if Jesus and Druze share any Gematric connection at all.
 
The Gematria of Jesus and “Messiah” are also the same thus acknowledging His title.
 
But what is shocking and of course wouldn’t make any sense is the possibility that Jesus and Muhammad may also share the same Gematria, but again, we cannot really be sure of this because Muhammad possesses at least four spelling variations and since “Druze” and “Muhammad” possess more than one spelling variation, how can anyone be so sure which would be the correct Gematria for either one?
 
Knowing what the history and current relations have been between Christians, Muslims, and Jews and how many of the Islamic scriptures and texts hold both Jews and Christians in contempt and command the killing of those who leave Islam for another religion, not to mention that Jesus died, rose again, and ascended into Heaven before Muhammad was even born, what possible association would Jesus and Muhammad have with one another?
 
But here is an alleged Gematric connection that will really throw everyone for a loop yet cannot be accepted by anyone who is in their right mind.  I don’t think even most QAnons would be able to accept it as a legitimate gematric connection either:
 
 
Jesus: 74
Lucifer: 74
 
 
Now, if you happen to be a QAnon who believes in the validity of the Gematria, you must be scratching your head over this one.  You must be asking yourself, “What does this mean?” or “How can this be?” “Contender’s Edge must be off on his math!”
 
Well, I can assure you that I have checked the results multiple times to make sure that I did add the numerical values of both names up right.  And the results both came out the same.  And for those of you who look to the Gematria to establish truth and fact, how in the world can there be a valid Gematric connection between Jesus and Lucifer who are total opposites of each other?
 
Jesus humbled Himself and came to earth as God in the flesh for our sakes.
Lucifer exalted himself and tried to be equal to God; he wanted to be God himself. (Is. 14:11-21)
Jesus is victorious, Lucifer is destined for defeat.
Jesus speaks only the truth, Lucifer routinely lies.
Jesus keeps His promises and they never fail.
Lucifer’s promises eventually fail, especially at the most critical conjunctures in life.
Jesus will reign forever and ever.  Lucifer’s reign is only temporary and will come to a permanent end.
 
And there are more contrasts between the two that can be listed.
 
Does anyone see how accepting a valid gematric connection between Jesus, Muhammad, and Lucifer could lead to some very wrong conclusions about the relationship between all three?  Does anyone see how accepting a valid connection between Jesus and Lucifer who opposes and exalts himself against Him doesn’t make any sense?  Does anyone see how accepting a valid connection between Jesus and a man who created a religion whose adherents are among the worst persecutors of Christians and Jews doesn’t make any sense?
 
Out of curiosity about what other viewers thought of “The Jesus Strand” I decided to scroll through the comment section and discovered a comment from one viewer who appeared to further drive home that point that the Gematria cannot be trusted when he pointed out that Donald Trump and the Ku Klux Klan both had the same Gematria which he claimed to be 828.  I put his claim to the test and found that he was right about them both having the same Gematric number but his math was off; either that or it was a typo on his part due to a glitchy system.  The number that Donald Trump and the KKK share happens to be 138.
 
Does this supposed Gematric connection make Trump a racist white supremacist affiliated with the KKK?
 
I personally have no reason to believe that and I cannot imagine even the most die-hard of QAnons necessarily believing that either since Trump is a very significant figure in the movement; not only significant but a central figure.  There is no documented evidence that he has ever endorsed the KKK or any similar group.  There is no evidence that he was ever a part of or has had any ties to the organization or any like it.  He has fostered good relations with people of minority communities and his policies, while in office, have done more to benefit people of different skin colors than those of most Presidents before him and he has garnered a greater amount of minority support than most GOP Presidents before him and I personally do not see how that is possible for a racist President to be able to do that.
 
But if we were to judge Trump on the mere basis of having an identical Gematric number to the KKK, we would arrive at terribly misleading and wrong conclusions about the man. 
 
But when we add Trump’s middle initial to his name or his full middle name to his name (Donald J. Trump or Donald John Trump), we end up with a different Gematria that is different from that of the KKK:
 
 
Donald Trump and Ku Klux Klan: 138
Donald J. Trump: 148
Donald John Trump: 185
 
 
When Trump’s middle initial or full middle name are added to his first and last name, the seeming Gematric connection he appears to have to the KKK is either eliminated or at the very least made uncertain.
 
Adding up the supposed numerical value of a number of different names and terminologies, instead of vindicating the reliability of the Gematria, has actually given me reasons to not trust it because of the inherent harm that can come with relying on the Gematria system for every answer as it can lead they who trust in it to a wrong way of thinking, wrong beliefs, and wrong conclusions about certain establishments, entities, and even people.
 
I fear that placing trust in this system could lead to needless divisions amongst those who would otherwise be united, paranoia, unfounded prejudices, the destruction of relationships that did not need to end, and the abandoning of those persons, movements, and organizations that we should be aligning ourselves with and supporting, and on the flip side, reliance on the Gematria can also lead one to choose the wrong friends, join the wrong crowd, get married to the wrong man or woman, make poor job-related decisions, bad career choices, and align themselves with persons, movements, and organizations that they should not have anything to do with.
 
That being said, Sabrina Gal’s Gematria argument challenging the biblical validity of the genealogy of Jesus just doesn’t hold up and in an ironic twist, the Gematria, as mentioned earlier, and for all the potential misleading dangers that it poses, actually affirms the Jewish heritage of Jesus as recorded in scripture, which is also corroborated by history but historical evidence for a bloodline descending from Jesus is just simply lacking and more importantly, such a thing is not mentioned anywhere in scripture.
 
But before I go any further, I must say that we do not judge one another by a number that our names add up to.  We judge one another by our actions, the things that we say, promote, stand for and align ourselves with because that is how God judges each and everyone of us and not only that, He judges us by the nature of our thoughts, the intents and attitudes of our hearts, and our motives.
 
The common defense for the Gematria has been that numbers have meaning and that God communicates through numbers.
 
When a number is given meaning, it generally has nothing to do with the numerical value of that name but because the meaning of that number is associated with an event or figure of significance:
 
Biblically speaking, the number 12 is representative of the twelve tribes of Israel and the 12 Apostles.  7 represents the sabbath day of rest or can also represent “perfection” or “completion.”
50 marks the year of Jubilee when all debts are forgiven.
40 marks a time of testing or judgment.
70 signifies the number of years the people of Israel were held captive in Babylon.  In history, 70 A.D. was the year that the second Temple in Jerusalem was destroyed.
666 is the Mark of the Beast, and the only number that may be associated with a name.
 
In superstition, the number 13 represents misfortune and the hour of midnight, which is marked by 12 has been called the “witching hour.”
 
As far as significant events go, 1492 is the year Columbus discovered America.
1776 is when America declared its Independence from Britain.
1948 is the year Israel was restored as a nation.
 
Numbers have also been used to mark important holidays and observances as well.
 
 
10/31=Halloween
12/25=Christmas
5/31=Memorial Day
3/17=St. Patrick’s Day
2/14=Valentine’s Day
7/4=Independence Day
 
 
But in most cases, the meaning of numbers has never really been established or revealed by way of adding up their numerical values.  And as far as I can tell, and I may be missing something here, but not even any of the Q drops say anything about a Gematria or explicitly claim that our alphabet possesses any numerical values.
 
Based upon a search of all Q drops and an analysis of Q drop 40 and after conducting a series of tests on the Gematria myself, I cannot come up with any other conclusion other than the Gematria is no more than a product of a possible misinterpretation of Q drop 40, a misapplied application thereof, and possibly, even a tool of deception.
 
But there is nothing to say that God cannot speak to us through numbers at times.  He speaks to us through whatever means He wishes.  He speaks to us through His scriptures, circumstances, and sometimes, through other people, appeals to our conscience, attempts to reason with us, and touches our hearts.  He reveals Himself to us in nature, and sometimes, He even speaks to us through dreams, visions, and may even send His angels to us to deliver a message.
 
But God is not a God of change. (Mal. 3:6, Heb. 13:8) He always remains the same which means He remains the same in His attributes, nature, character, His truth, standards, and His promises and prophecies given are never cancelled out, but will be fulfilled in their time.
 
But He will never give revelation that is not in agreement or complimentary with revelation already given.  He will never command us to do anything contrary to His other commands nor establish laws and precepts at odds with what He has already decreed.  He will never subject one person or people to a set of standards different or contrary to that of anyone else, but instead has set a standard applied to all people. (Num. 15:16)  He has not declared several different gospels.  He has only declared one Gospel to be preached to all people.
 
He will never give one message to one people or one person that is at odds with another message that He gives to others.
 
If there is any doubt as to whether or not a message preached to us is of God or not, we check it against revelation and doctrine that He has already given us just as the Bereans did when Paul preached to them the Gospel of Jesus. (Acts 17:11)
 
 
That being said, if there was any honest validity to the Gematria, especially as it pertains to the Christian faith, what should we expect to find?
 
 
1.  Agreement with scripture first and foremost
 
2.  Evidence supporting the alleged associations between any number of figures sharing the same Gematria
 
 
But neither Sabrina Gal nor Brice-Esoteric Atlanta have provided anything adequately substantive to support their claims.
 
Where it stands so far is:
 
 
1.  None of the Q posts, including post 40 mention anything about a Gematria or a numerical value to the English alphabet, nor do they say anything about the Druze or a bloodline descending from Jesus and Mary Magdalene and so far there have been no more than 4,953 Q drops, and even if any of them did, that still would not make the Gematria a reliable basis for determining truth or fact nor would it make the claim of a bloodline descending from Jesus a fact.  It would take a lot more than just a Gematria interpretation or even a Q post to prove such a claim to be truth.
 
2.  Atlanta has shown herself to be ignorant of the canonization process of the scriptures having apparently relied on propaganda designed to erode trust in the authority of scripture and along with it, the Christian faith instead of historical sources closest to the canonization process which show no evidence of the compiling of the NT canon to have been under the direction of any centralized leadership, Roman Emperor, or Papacy.
 
3.  None of the lost gospels to which Atlanta specifically points to support her position say anything about Jesus and Mary Magdalen ever getting married and having children and even if any of them did, that still is not enough to make it truth for several reasons.
 
4.  No historical evidence for the origin or existence of the Order of the Blue Rose.  All Sabrina Gal has in that case, besides a painting and an untrustworthy Gematria is the baseless claim of some strange pseudo-Christian sect.
 
 
Moving forward now, Sabrina Gal further attempts to support her belief in this Jesus bloodline by citing DNA analysis of the shroud of Turin which she claims discredits the Messianic lineage of the Bible based only on the claim the blood type of Jesus was supposedly AB negative but offers no further analysis beyond that. 
 
The shroud of Turin has been purported to have been used as the burial cloth of Christ, but this claim has been challenged by scriptural accounts recorded in the Gospels of Luke (24:12) and John (Jn. 20:6-7) which say that he was buried in linen clothes which would imply multiple pieces of cloth or garments instead of singular shroud.
 
But what makes it significant to Sabrina Gal is the blood stains on it which allegedly belong to Jesus.  DNA analysis allegedly reveals the blood of Christ to be an AB negative blood type which she would have her viewers believe is only unique to Arabs, specifically the Druze, but the Druze did not become an identifiable people until well after the death and resurrection of Christ; their origins being traced back to Egypt as early as the late 10th century A.D
 
They do, however, appear to have either historical or ancestral ties to Jethro, a Midianite, but the Midianites had already ceased to be an identifiable and distinct people when Jesus came to the earth.  The last we ever hear of them is in the book of Judges during the days of Gideon. (Jdgs. 6-8)   After that, they seem to disappear from the world scene and are never heard from again.
 
That being said, how can the blood on the shroud of Turin be from a people who had already vanished from existence before the days of Jesus or from a people who did not hold a prevalent presence in the land of Israel in that generation?
 
Another question that needs to be asked is whether or not the AB negative blood type is indeed unique only to a specific ethnic group of people.  After doing some research of my own on the matter, the answer is a resounding NO!  It can be found among any group of people:  European, African, and Asian which would also include anyone of Mid-East origins or Mid-East descent and this would also include Jewish people. [49]
 
Therefore, an AB negative blood type alone is not enough to disqualify Jesus from being an ethnic Jew or falsify His genealogy and if even if it did, which would then have very serious ramifications for the Christian faith, that still does not mean that He ever married anyone or had offspring.
 
And granted that the following may not come from a scientist but this particular individual in answering the question of whether or not Jesus was a Druze, after watching the documentary, happens to make a valid point:
 
 
I’m sorry but I just watched this and it’s ridiculous. My mother was Jewish from Russia and Syria. My father was Italian. My dna also matches Druze people. That’s because Jews, Druze, Syrians, Lebanese and many other Levant groups have similar origins. I even match Druze on my fathers side!! Also, I lived in Israel for three years and this documentary makes it as if Druze are these mysterious people who are so closed off from everyone else which is completely untrue. Sure they don’t accept converts or intermarriage sin their religion anymore, however no all Druze are especially religious and they don’t mostly live near Nazareth, they live all over Israel and I ran into Druze people daily. [50]
 
 
If Sabrina Gal hopes to convince anyone that Jesus was not Jewish, she is going have to do more than just give us blood type comparisons which is not sufficient enough to prove anything or Gematria interpretations which, in this case, appear inconclusive, misleading, and untrustworthy.
 
It also needs to be made known that the “Jesus Strand” documentary that she is using for one of her sources to support her claims was aired on “The History Channel” which is not really a history channel by the way, as it has been airing programming that has nothing to do with history and what history it does air is left-wing revisionist propaganda, not to mention this presentation definitely does not get points for originality when it comes to their title.
 
 
 
Sabrina Gal’s Second Segment [51]
 
 
 
As for the next segment of the presentation, I cannot really comment on it one way or another about Sabrina Gal’s claims about Lincoln and the Kennedys until I do some more research into the matter and therefore will not spend a lot of time going over that segment except that she claims that Lincoln and the Kennedys are of Druze descent simply on the basis that they carry a gene called x1c; a very rare gene that is indeed most prevalent with in Druze populations but has also been discovered throughout North Africa [52] where the Druze are not known to have been prevalent, and has been reportedly found in Norway, Italy, and Ireland [52-53] but that does not mean that those who have this rare gene are necessarily descended from the Druze bloodline and therefore it should be no surprise if those who are of Irish, Norse, North African, and Italian descent happen to carry this x1c chromosome and if Abraham Lincoln happened to be of Irish descent, it should be no amazing thing for either him or at least one of his ancestors to possess the same.
 
Going to the days before the forced dispersion at the Tower of Babel, (Gen. 11:1-9) genes, haplogroups, and hereditary traits now counted rare and maybe even unique to certain ethnicities would have been much more frequent and concentrated within mankind but after the forced dispersion, lineages and bloodlines would have become further and further removed from those of Noah and his three sons (Shem, Ham, and Japheth) over time and with the dispersion came the isolating of several people from one another as they were all scattered throughout the world and with that came the eventual rise and development of distinct ethnicities with traits that set them apart from one another, possessing lineages far removed from the main lineages from which they descended, and with that, some of those genes once prevalent in each ethnicity and people become less prevalent within each distinct people over time the longer they remain isolated from other peoples whether that be in circumstance or practice until some genes in each distinct people either become very rare or even non-existent.
 
As with the case of this x1c gene, it didn’t just suddenly appear within the Druze or anyone else for that matter.  It has been around ever since day one of man when God created Adam.  The Druze, like anyone else inherited that gene and they could have easily inherited it from any number of people in the Mid-East and if, as some sources do indicate, this x1c has become more prevalent among the Druze than other people, it is because they forbid their members to marry anyone outside of their respective faith and they have not recognized any new converts since 1043 A.D.
 
Judging by those sets of circumstances, it should be no surprise that we should see a number of genes become more concentrated within Druze populations than in other peoples would arise and that their own bloodline would develop and be established as a result; just takes a basic understanding of genetics to understand how that works.
 
But if indeed the Druze possess a bloodline unique unto them, then it is a fairly new bloodline in comparison to those lineages and bloodlines that have endured for thousands of years and continue to do so to this day, but it is a bloodline that did not exist during the time of Christ nor did it ever come from Him.  It was established long after His death and resurrection.
 
 
Toronto’s Segment [54]
 
 
Toronto claims that the garden of Eden was located in Armenia, but no one can really know this for sure.  The global flood changed the entire face of the earth.  Only one of the four rivers that flowed out of the garden of Eden, (Gen. 2:10-14) the Euphrates, is still on the map.  Many have claimed it to be in the land of Babylon while a few believe that it may have been in Israel.
 
She then makes the claim that Noah’s Ark landed somewhere in Armenia and it is true that where Mt. Ararat is located used to belong to Armenia, but was later taken over by Turkey [55] and so that claim does remain consistent with what most Young Earth Creationists believe, that is if its remains happen to still be there.  Others have recently maintained that it may have landed somewhere in Iran and that everyone else has been searching for the Ark in the wrong place, deducing this from the following Bible passage:
 
 
And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.  And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there. (Gen. 11:1-2)
 
 
They also point out that Ararat is not just one mountain but a mountain range. (Gen. 8:4)
 
Then Toronto claims that Abraham was born in Urfa of Armenia but scripture says that Abraham was a Chaldean by birth. (Gen. 11:28, 31) In order for Toronto’s claims to be proven true, Urfa would have had to have once gone by the name of Ur and Armenia would have had to have once been Chaldean land.
 
But then she claims that Armenia was mentioned frequently in the pre-1630 editions of the Bible, even displaying a picture from one such Bible which supposedly lists Armenia as a nation established shortly after the days of Noah, but then the mention thereof was almost completely eliminated from the post-1630 editions of the Bible, but if that is so, from what Bible was this picture taken? What Bible versions frequently mentioned Armenia before 1630? And what scripture passages listed Armenia?  I consulted even Greek and Latin versions of the scriptures and did not find any mention of Armenia in them at all, so if there are pre-1630 Bibles that frequently mention Armenia, then this appeal I make to Toronto: 
 
Please do share with us what these Bibles are which support your claim as well as the Greek, Hebrew, and even Latin manuscripts off of which they are based if you want your claims to be believed.
 
It needs to be noted that Armenia is, however, mentioned in the KJV mentioned twice; (2 Ki. 19:37, Is. 37:38) the KJV having been produced in 1611.  In the Geneva Bible, which was produced in 1599, in the same cited passages, Ararat is mentioned in place of Armenia, though in the commentary notes, Ararat is identified as Armenia. [56]
 
Her next claim is that Armenia is the cradle of civilization according to old manuscripts what are these manuscripts and that there are 17,000 manuscripts pertaining to Jesus: What are these manuscripts?
 
She also claims that the city and kingdom of Babylon was founded by a king Bel whereas scripture indicates that Nimrod was the one who founded Babylon which may have been called Babel. (Gen. 10:10)   Perhaps Nimrod was also known as king Bel?
 
As for King Cyrus being a giant, I have no idea where she got that from.
 
She then cites Tweets posted by Patrick Bouvier Kennedy who appears to have tweeted that according to Jewish law, Jesus is a Jew because Mary is a Jew but that is only according to present day Jewish tradition and not according to the traditions and laws of those days since some Jewish laws and traditions have undergone changes over time and are not entirely derived from the Mosaic Pentateuch.
 
The tweet then says that Mary’s mother was an Armenian but not only are we left without any historical evidence for this claim, scripture makes no mention of who Mary’s mother is.  The tweet is also self-contradictory in that it first claims Jewish ancestry is determined by the maternal lineage, but does not apply that same standard to Mary as it does to Jesus; not that it really matters because as far as scripture is concerned, Mary’s parents, as far as scripture is concerned, were both Jewish and makes no mention of Gentiles in her ancestry.
 
Many Jewish traditions and customs are derived from the Talmud which was not developed until well after the compilation of the OT scriptures.  In the OT scriptures, the paternal genealogies are listed instead of the maternal bloodlines which indicates that in past times, one was determined to be an Israelite or a Jew according to the paternal lineage and not the maternal.
 
But the Gospels break away from this pattern by giving us both the lineages of Joseph and Mary, Matthew recording Joseph’s lineage and Luke recording Mary’s, both of which are more than enough to prove that Jesus was born Jewish with only two Gentiles mentioned therein, Rahab a Canaanite and Ruth a Moabite, (Mt. 5:5) but, again, there is no mention of who the mother of Mary was in the scriptures and therefore no scriptural basis for the claim that she was Armenian.  There is strong indication in scripture, however, that Mary had direct blood ties to the tribe of Levi. (Lk. 1:5, 36)
 
Another tweet by Kennedy claims that Jews are not Hebrew, but this claim is easily discredited by the scriptures which declares Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and his twelve sons from whom the nation of Israel descends Hebrews, not to mention that Hebrew is the primary and official language of the nation of Israel.  As mentioned before in the post, after the Babylonian captivity, all Israelites and Hebrews are collectively called Jews.
 
Something tells me that Patrick B. Kennedy needs to read and study the books of Genesis and Exodus to get a full grasp as to how the Jews originated.
 
Toronto then makes a claim that the Kennedys are of Armenian descent, contradicting Sabrina Gal who earlier claimed that they are of “Druze” descent.  That is only possible if both peoples had inter-married at some point in their history which is unlikely since Druze, as a rule, only marry within their respective faith.  The only way this would have happened is if a Druze ancestor had converted to another religion and if that were so, he or she would no doubt have found themselves ostracized by their fellow Druze including their immediate family.
 
Another claim made that does not make any sense is that Israel was assisting Turkey in providing them arms to use for war against the Armenians.  Why would Israel assist Turkey in helping to wipe out the Armenians?  Israel and Turkey are not on friendly terms.  So why would Israel help an enemy destroy their enemy? And what would Israel have to gain by providing an enemy of their weapons that could be used against them in the future?  Where would the logic in that be and what does Israel have against the Armenians.
 
One thing that Israel and Armenia do have in common and which cannot be denied is that they are both threatened by enemies who want nothing more than to wipe them both off the map and the enemies of Armenia also happen to be enemies of Israel.
 
Does anyone believe that to be a coincidence?  I certainly don’t and there is a reason for that:
 
God has promised to preserve the Jewish nation forever (Jer. 30:11, 33:19-26) because they are destined for redemption which they will receive when they finally submit themselves to the Messiah they once rejected. (Rom. 11:26) and just as He has promised to preserve the people of Israel, He has also promised to preserve the Church (Mt. 16:18) and regardless of what anyone says, His integrity is tied to fulfilling His promises to both entities.  If God does not keep His promises to one group of people, then how can any promise He makes to anyone else be trusted?
 
But more on that in another blogpost.
 
 
Mike Protzman’s Segment [57]
 
 
The next segment done by host Mike Protzman is just a read off of alleged codes that may or may not mean what he claims they mean but it seems to be on the basis of gematric interpretations, that he believes JFK Jr. to still alive and waiting to be revealed despite the fact that Q himself denies that JFK Jr. is alive:
 
 
>>4280189
Is JFK Jr alive?
 
No.
Q [58]
 

But let us assume that JFK Jr. did in fact fake his own death.  If that were the case, then perhaps Trump would be just a forerunner after all and what he has done and may do, should he return to office, will be nothing compared to what whom he is paving the way for will do but before I go on any further, there is something about this Protzman’s segment that was very troubling and that was is that, towards the end of his segment, he claimed, in order to convince viewers that JFK Jr. is hidden in the shadows somewhere, he claims that Trump asked Houston, “Mr. President, do you hear me?” as a signal to the hidden JFK Jr. and then seems to point his viewers to footage in the closing minutes of his segment, (2 hrs and 54 min. in roughly speaking) in which Trump, instead of speaking the exact words that Protzman claimed, and I rewound that segment more than once, actually instead asks Houston, “Houston, this is your President, do you hear me?” to which Houston replies in the affirmative before playing the Frank Sinatra song, “I did it my way.”  There are only three possible conclusions that can be drawn from this:
 
 
1.  Protzman is mistaken about what he heard.
 
2.  Mr. Protzman seems to be hard of hearing.
 
3.  Mr. Protzman is deliberately deceiving his viewers and fellow Anons.
 
 
I urge you readers to check out that ending footage for yourself (2 hrs. 54. min. and 45 secs. in) and if you happen to hear the exact same words that I heard instead of what Mr. Protzman said you were going to hear, then you may have take the bitter pill of accepting one of those three possibilities that I listed and if any of you should decide that he is not just mistaken about what he heard but is deliberately deceiving his viewers and fellow Anons, then what else has he and his company lied to us about?
 
If it is determined that he has deliberately lied to his viewers in this case, then it should be made clear to us that we have no reason to listen to any more of what this man and his three featured associates have to say and they all need to be exposed for the charlatans they are.
 
And I will be honest:  After carefully listening to the closing footage myself, my impression was, “What are these people trying to pull here?”
 
But one thing for certain is that JFK Jr., is not the second son of God as Mr. Protzman speculates.  As far as most are concerned, he is dead and gone but if he isn’t and it turns out that he did somehow fake his own death, then he may very well have his day to make fools of us all.
 
But God has only one begotten Son:  Jesus Christ.  He has no other.  Anyone claiming to be a second begotten son of God is a liar, deceiver, and a false messiah for scripture preaches of only one begotten Son and it is that same Son is the one who will one day return to establish His Kingdom upon the earth and it is that Kingdom which will begin the thousand-year peace that we have longed for (Rev. 19-20) and not by any corruptible earthly authority.  Now granted that if the Q plan were to come to pass to any extent, things might be made a lot better than they are now, at least for America, and even grant humanity a temporary reprieve; even the scripture seems to allude to such a time (Mt. 24:36-42, 25:1-13) but even that would not guarantee a world-wide Great Awakening that draws mankind to repentance even though the opportunity may be presented to every nation. 
 
Even if Trump were to be reinstated to his rightful place tomorrow, all of the Biden creature’s policies reversed, the entire Deep State and Cabal were to all go to jail or be executed, and all of their minions defeated and subdued, that still would not bring in the thousand years of peace that apparently some within the QAnon movement believe.  Even if JFK Jr. turned up alive and succeeded Trump as President, even he would not be able to bring lasting peace to the world even if he wanted to; certainly not by his own wisdom or power because though even one set of evil players on the world stage are eliminated, other wicked players will eventually take their place and pick up where those before them left off because the nature of that age-long war that mankind is caught in is not racial, economic, or political nor is it a war over territory or resources.  All of these are simply used as a smokescreen to keep men blind to what the true nature of the conflict is, which is a spiritual conflict; an age-long war that began ever since Lucifer, also called Satan, attempted to make himself equal to God in his pride (Is. 14:11-21, Ezek. 28:12-19) and after he was cast from his place in Heaven, he then led our ancestors into sin by causing them to disobey their Maker by causing them to eat fruit from a certain tree that they were told not to eat from lest they die. (Gen. 2:16-17, chapter 3) and when that happened, that conflict between God and Satan became a war for the souls of men.
 
On the day that man ate from that forbidden tree, sin entered into him and as a result, sin entered into him and the sentence of death was pronounced on him (Gen. 3:19) and from that first mand and woman into whom sin entered, sin was then passed down to all of mankind and because all men sin, all die (Rom. 5:12, 6:23) and just as that once perfect fellowship Adam and Eve had with their Creator was put to an end as a consequence of their transgression, we also are born estranged from our Maker because of sin, always falling short of His glory (Rom. 3:23) for though we strive to do good, sin being in us, is ever present and thus taints our goodness which is why we can neither buy or earn the good favor of the God who made us for though our actions may appear blameless and our speech seem to be without corruption, it is not only these that are taken into account but even the very thoughts harbored and the intents and attitude of our hearts as well for as it is written, we are already defiled by that which is within and not by that which is without (Mt. 15:11, 17-20, Mk. 7:15, 18-23) because sin is not merely confined to outward performance but is the corrupted condition of the inward man and it is from this corrupted condition in which all evil and potential for evil dwells and it is this corrupted condition that Satan, being the enemy of God and the adversary of our souls, ever appeals to and exploits in order to entice as many as he can into evil that he might take captive their souls and lure them into everlasting damnation which is the fate of all who give themselves over to their sinful desires and die in that condition when all sin must face eventual punishment and with that, they whose sins remain because sin spoils and corrupts more than we know.  It not only stains the soul, but brings death to the body, and has subjected all of creation itself under a curse (Rom. 8:19-22) which has brought upon it every kind of pain, suffering, hardship, grief, misery, struggle, and adversity imaginable, which there ever has been, is today, and will continue to be until that day when all sin and evil are eliminated.
 
But God in His love and mercy is not willing that any should perish but that all would come to repentance (2 Pet. 3:9) and therefore has  provided redemption for us in Christ Jesus who, being without sin, (2 Cor. 5:21) came to earth, being born of a virgin, to offer Himself up as that perfect sacrifice (Heb. 4:15) for the sins of all mankind which, by His death and resurrection, He has taken away thereby satisfying that demanded penalty for our sins so that the forgiveness of all sins may be granted to those who will but call upon Him alone for their salvation (Rom. 10:13) trusting only Him for the salvation of their souls so that they may then be reconciled to the Father and forever dwell in the presence of the King and this same Jesus who died for our sins and rose from the grave is also that same Jesus who ascended into Heaven and will, as it is written, return to us the same way He left (Acts 1:9-11,  Rev. 19) and who will bring in that new and better world in which there is no sin, death, decay, evil, curse, hardship, pain, grief, or sorrow of any sort by which this present world has been defined because of sin (Rom. 8:19-22) because all of those things will be done away with when this present universe passes away (2 Pet. 3:10) and is made anew. (v. 13) and just as there will be a new creation liberated from the curse brought upon it by the sin of man, so even our earthly vessels into which we were born
will also one day be liberated from the bondage of death and decay when these corruptible forms are changed into that which is incorruptible (2 Cor. 15:51-55, 1 Thess. 4:13-18) and from bodies in which sin dwells into bodies in which sin dwells no more made ready to dwell in that forthcoming new world promised to us but that change begins within us with the redemption of our souls upon receiving that gift of salvation offered by our Lord for though the world look for an outward peace, our Lord and Savior offers a peace that begins within which then is manifested in an outward peace and the more who come to submit themselves to the Savior, the more manifest that peace becomes but not only is this inner peace given, but alongside that peace comes that inward transformation of the soul redeemed for upon receiving Christ we become new people in Him, (2 Cor. 5:17): 
No longer pursuing after selfish worldly interests, but after selfless heavenly interests, 
No longer taking pleasure in unrighteousness but pursuing after righteousness, 
No longer giving ourselves over to sin, but to purity and upright living, no longer aligning ourselves with that which is evil but siding with the things that be of God, 
No longer walking in the lies whereby we were once deceived but adhering to the truth that is of God and to which our eyes have been opened, 
No longer walking in rebellion against the God who made us, but committing ourselves to obedience to His commands and faithful service to Him,
No longer fearing those things that can only kill the body, but fearing only God who is able to cast both body and soul into the everlasting torments of Hell itself, 
No longer consuming ourselves with temporary wealth, but instead building up for ourselves treasures in Heaven, no longer placing our hope in the things of this world but in the world to come, 
No longer trusting in things uncertain, but in those things that are certain, no longer relying on the faulty wisdom of this world or even our own understanding but upon the wisdom, foresight, knowledge, and discernment that comes from God, 
No longer going forth in our own power, but in the power of the God by whose blood we are redeemed and by whose grace we are saved through the faith we place in Him for the forgiveness of our sins, trusting in Him alone as the provider of all our needs, to deliver us from evil, sustain us through adversity, and to reward us for all sacrifices made on His behalf and that of His Kingdom.
 
This is how GOD WINS and this is how we experience His victory.
 
Change not from the outside in but the inside out.
Not from the top down, but from the bottom up.
 
Presently, each person must choose as to whom they will side with in this age-long war between God and Satan.  There is no neutral ground.  You are either for God or against Him.  Which side will you choose?  If you choose the side of Christ, it all begins with a prayer of repentance such as the following:


"Lord Jesus I need you.
 
 
I realize that I am a sinner
who has fallen short of the glory of God
and that my goodness falls short
of your standard of Moral perfection.
 
Please forgive me of all of my sins.
Come into my heart and into my life
to be the Savior and Lord of my life.
Make me into the servant and follower
that you want me to be.
In your name Lord Jesus, I pray.
 
 
Amen."
 
 
 
Know that God is not concerned with the words that you use to call upon Him forgiveness, but with the attitude of your heart and if you have, with all sincerity, have asked Christ to forgive you of your sins, placing your trust in Him only for your salvation and in nothing else, then your sins are forgiven and your place in Heaven is certain.
