God Bless all who love the unshakable truth of our loving Creator.
THE three tribes of Judah If you are among the many that never realized there are
three different tribes of Judah, don’t feel bad, for most of the clergy are
not aware of that either! Strange that it should be so, for it’s their
responsibility to understand these things. If that’s the case, then they are
accepting money under false pretenses, and would fall under the category of
"hirelings." You may not be aware of it, but the Bible doesn’t speak very
highly of some who call themselves "pastors" or "shepherds." To show you this
I will quote Isaiah 56:10: "10 His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant,
they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving
to slumber. 11 Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have
enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all
look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter." You can detect very quickly whether or not a pastor or
priest is qualified for his office when, for instance, he makes the statement
"Abraham the Jew." This kind of verbalization is preposterous, for Abraham was
the great-grandfather of Judah! The next time you hear a so-called minister
make such an unqualified remark, you can mark it down in your book that he
isn’t the Bible scholar he pretends to be! It then becomes your Biblical duty
to challenge that "dumb dog" and make him explain how such a thing could be!
After all, he, by accepting your money (your life’s blood), is using it to
make his false statements. Not only that, but by not reproving him, you become
part and parcel of his untruthfulness and become as guilty as he. Another situation that should start waving red flags in
one’s mind is when a minister or priest starts using the terms "Jew" and
"Israel" interchangeably! The "House of Judah" is not the "House of Israel",
and the "House of Israel" is not the "House of Judah", but must be
differentiated and distinguished! This again exposes either their ignorance or
subversion concerning Biblical matters! But the object of this paper is to
show what the clergy has failed to show: that there are three different houses
within the Tribe of Judah. It would appear the only way we are going to make any logic
out of this confusion is to go back to the beginning of the story of Judah.
According to the Bible, we are told Judah was the fourth son of Jacob-Israel.
Judah, we are informed, married a Canaanite woman by the name of Bathshuah. By
her, Judah had three children: Er, Onan and Shelah. The Almighty killed Er and
Onan, leaving only Shelah. Upon the death of Judah’s wife, Bathshuah, Judah’s
intended daughter-in-law, Tamar, dressed up like a whore and enticed Judah who
fathered a set of twins by her, named Pharez and Zerah. Because Judah was an
eligible widower and Tamar was unwed (marriage not consummated with Er or Onan),
the union could not be considered illicit. From the Pharez line came the
Messiah. Thus, there were three branches of Judah, (1) Pharez, (2) Zerah, and
(3) Shelah. Therefore there were Pharez-Judahites; Zerah-Judahites and
Shelanite-Judahites. The Judahites who were the scribes, Pharisees and Sadducees
at the time of the Messiah, for the most part, were Shelanite-Judahites from
Judah’s first wife, Bathshuah the Canaanite. This demands another question to
be asked: who were the Canaanites? The word "Canaan" is the name of the fourth son of Ham on
whom Noah placed a curse. Being cursed, Canaan was kicked out of the family
and mixed among other tribes. Eventually these Canaanites became ten
interrelated and racially-mixed nations, listed in Genesis 15:19-21 as: (1) Kenites, (2) Kenizzites, (3) Kadmonites, (4) Hittites,
(5) Perrizzites, (6) Rephaims, (7) Amorites, (8) Canaanites, (9) Girgashites,
(10) Jebusites. As the Kenites are mentioned first, let’s see who they
were. Checking the Strong’s Concordance, we find the Kenites listed as
#7017. Going to the Strong’s Hebrew dictionary under #7017 and #7014,
we discover the Kenites are descendants of, and named after, Cain. Thus, we
find the scribe/Pharisee/Sadducee/Shelanite/Judahites, at the time of Messiah,
were actually of the cursed bloodline of Cain. What a sticky-wicket this has
turned out to be! And, hardly anyone is aware of this not-so-well-known fact! Is it possible that Messiah was correct when He accused the
Shelanite-Judahite Pharisees and Sadducees of being guilty of all the
righteous blood from Abel to Zacharias; Matthew 23:35 and Luke 11:51? If this
is true, we have a whole different kind of situation going on in our world
today than the majority of people are aware of. Thus, it is safe to conclude that the Shelanite-Judahites
are not the Zerah-Judahites, and the Zerah-Judahites are not the
Pharez-Judahites! Nor are the Pharez or Zerah Judahites to be identified with
the Shelanite-Judahites! From this, it should begin to be quite clear the of
spuriousness of lumping all of Judah into one basket. Yet, this is exactly
what the majority of the mainstream clergy do. In addition to lumping the
three tribes of Judah together, they also lump the House of Judah with the
House of Israel into one basket! Thus, they make the entire thing one giant
conglomeration of confusion! With such incompetence, it would be a miracle if
we got anything in its proper historical order. With the Zerah-Judah branch we have strong, classical,
secular evidence of their migrations in addition to that found in Holy Writ. I
will now quote from a book entitled Father Abraham’s Children, by Perry
Edward Powell, Ph. D., pages 98-101: "Let us put it in a different way, here is the beginning of
royalty. What else does scepter mean? Judah led in the conquest of Canaan and
received the first and choicest portion. David raised it to preeminence over
the tribes and the nations. He is the first king of the Judah-Pharez line, and
he did not appear for seven hundred years. Was there and is there an older
line of royalty? The answer is, Yes. The Judah-Zerah [line] was royal from the
beginning. The two royalties are now merged and have been for centuries in the
British [Covenant people] royal house. And how long shall we have royalty?
‘Until Shiloh comes.’ [The future] Shiloh came to Bethlehem, the first Advent,
and will come again [as Shiloh] at the end of time, the second Advent. Royalty
is eternal. The throne of David is everlasting. There is no royalty in Europe
but descends from Judah. And the Judah-Zerah royalty is, we repeat, seven
hundred years older than Judah-Pharez because it began at once. You can read
Genesis 38 to see how royalty began [but there is much more to talk about]. "Another great event is recorded in Genesis 46:12, [if we
dare mention it]. Here we can read the census of those of the family of Jacob
who went with him into Egypt, eventually into Egyptian bondage though they did
not know it at the time. Pharez took with him his two sons, (which did
not include [any from] Shelah). Now Zerah went alone. No son accompanied him.
We will see where the son later traveled. Here is the inference and the
conclusion, The Trojan-[Roman]-Welsh by-passed the Egyptian captivity,
and all other captivities and have never been in slavery to any man, in any
land, at any time. (Slight changes or additions in brackets.) "Zerah’s son Ethan, very wise, and indeed this line of
Judah-Zerah is the only royal line termed wise, on the other hand led his
people north, from Egypt where he was born, into what is now Asia Minor, and
his son Mahol continued likewise. Mahol’s heir, Darda, reached the western
shore, where on a commanding site, he founded the metropolis of Troy. The date
is 1520 B.C. Here the city flourished for nearly four hundred years. Darda
first saw the straits that separated Europe and Asia and gave them his name,
Dardanelles. Darda also founded a fort here that is named after him. But the
greatest honor is recorded in the Bible, Solomon was ‘wiser than all men; than
... Darda the son of Mahol.’ Thus great was the founder of Troy and the sire
of the Trojan race whose children abide with us still. Troy fell because her
sons had an eye for the refined and beautiful in women. Her descendants have
that exquisite eye still and are naturally very proud of the accomplishment... "When Troy fell she did so to arise on another shore in
eternal and imperial splendor. I am not referring to Italy. That empire though
long was ephemeral (short-lived). Italy is an interlude only. Aeneas, a member
of the old royal family, attained the kingship, led the saddened Trojans
around the Mediterranean Sea, as graphically described in the Aenead, and
finally brought them to their new home on the Tiber in Italy. Including this
Italian interlude, the Trojan period embraced 417 years. "Here on the Tiber happened a very sad event, too sad to be
recalled, and would not be except for its denouement (final outcome). Brutus
was one day hunting with his father Silvius, when he spied the prey, as he
thought, and let fly an arrow. On running up he was shocked and grieved to
find that he had killed his own father! Some people then, as now, were
censorious and Brutus departed from the new colony, from which later sprang
Rome, and with his royal followers, went to Greece, rallied the enslaved
Trojans, defeated King Pendrasus, thus erasing the defeat of Troy, and as
victor exacted these terms; he must give his daughter Ignoge for wife, furnish
a big fleet of ships fully provisioned, for his emigrant force of seven
thousand men, and free permission for them to sail unmolested. ... "Brutus, now with an object and direction, steered west
through the straits (pillars) of Hercules, then northward along the east
Atlantic main, across the English Channel to the present river Dart, and up
its stream to Totnes, where, stepping on a large stone, he landed on the great
island which was ever to bear his name as a memorial among the proud nations
of the world. This rock, more famous throughout the centuries than Plymouth
Rock, is marked as Brutus Rock, and has been visited perennially by people of
all nations, all ranks, and all ages. With his people he explored the whole
island and he apportioned to each one according to his rank and services. At
last he decided the proper place for his capital, a choice bank of the Thames
river, so named for a stream, Thyamis, in Epirus from which he first sailed,
and there he built his metropolis, and according to the advice of the oracle,
he named it Tri Novantum, New Troy. This name it bore for over eleven hundred
years until King Lud at the beginning of the Christian era built her walls and
renamed her Luddun, Lud’s wall, easily refined into London. London is also
derived, by some, from Llandin, meaning ‘Sacred eminence.’ London dates from
three hundred-fifty years before Rome. Why should Rome be called the Eternal
City?" If this is the true history of Zerah-Judah, imagine how far
off base in people’s minds the true history of Pharez-Judah would be. To
somehow imagine that today’s "Jews" are true Judah is an error beyond all
comprehension, for they represent a mixed-Canaanite variety of Judah, better
termed "Jews." We will now return to Zerah-Judah. In the introduction to
The Book Of Tephi by J. A. Goodchild, we find the following comments by
Charles A. L. Totten, M. A.: "For if Darda, the Egyptian, son of Zerah, was Dardanus,
the Egyptian founder of Troy, and if Chalcol was the Egyptian Cecrops
or Niul and the contemporary founder of Athens, and Thebes, and if Heman, the
brother of Niul, was the likewise contemporary Egyptian Agenon who
inherited Phoenicia, and if Mahol, the son of Zerah and the father of these
famous Egyptians, was Scytha of Fenesia Farsa, the Egyptian ancestor of
the Milesians whose records, full and complete, enable us to blend the whole
into one continuous recital down to the present day, surely we have means at
hand in TROJAN, GRECIAN and MILESIAN sources, to continue out the record of
the Sacred Chronicles, and lend them greater reverence as we come to
understand and prize them at their worth! "And it is just this claim that we advance, for by rescuing
this fragmentary reference to Zerah’s line ... [and that] found in 1
Kings (IV. 30-31), from the ignorance and misconception with which all former
generations seem to have treated it, and by reading in it a clear and
intentional reference to the famous heroes of secular history, to the founders
of Phoenicia, Grecia, Troy, and the Milesians, and indirectly to Rome, the
child of Troy, to Carthage and to the Brigantes of Hispania, we place in the
hands of Our Race, and before their open eyes, the peer of the Rosetta Stone
itself, — in that all men who are ‘wise’ may read the conclusion in their own
language between the lines of Sacred History itself! ..." [Brackets in this
paragraph mine.] This might dumbfound you that this should be the history of
Zerah-Judah. As for Pharez- Judah, they mostly went into Assyrian captivity to
join with the ten northern tribes. You might well ask, if all this is true,
"why hasn’t my pastor mentioned this?" The answer to such a question can be
found at Isaiah 29:10-13, which says: "10 For Yahweh hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep
sleep, and hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers hath
he covered. 11 And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book
that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read
this, I pray thee: and he saith, I cannot; for it is sealed: 12 And the
book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee:
and he saith, I am not learned. 13 Wherefore Yahweh said, Forasmuch as this
people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me,
but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught
by the precept of men ..." Therefore what Yahweh has put to sleep, let no man say he
sees or understands! Today, nearly the entire world is under the influence of
the false precepts of men. And unless the Almighty removes "the spirit of
sleep", we can never comprehend the truth. It behooves us, then, to pray to
Him that this veil of darkness be removed. Yes, there are three tribes (sub-houses) of Judah, and the
term "Judah" (or as most people incorrectly term them, "Jew/s") is not
synonymous with the term "Israel." Therefore, before you pass judgment on the
content of this paper, you owe it to yourself to check it out to determine its
merit. Clifton A. Emahiser’s Teaching Ministries 1012 N. Vine Street, Fostoria, Ohio 44830 Phone (419)435-2836 Please Feel Free To Copy, Or Order: 10 for 2.00; 25 for 3.00; 50 for 5.00 or 8.00 per 100
