When did Sim Chat come about? I've always referred to this appointed times of Yehovah God aa Shemini Atzerat. And the word Senoia. My ggg Grandfather claimed the stake in Metro ATL; 22,000 acres but built a Grist Mill on Bear Creek and the first house in Senoia, now in Coweta, Co. Georgia. My ggg Grandmother was buried under a White Oak, near Bear Creek. The Senoia site says the word maybe derived from a "Creek Princess" but I thought it was a variant term for Synagogue. Yet, the first name associated with Senoia is given to man named, Baggerly. My Grandmothers remains were moved to a Bernhard/Bernhardt cemetery with my Grandfather who was a Confederate Soldier and fought in two battles and survived the Civil War. Mikve Israel, yaakov
Spanish has more in common with Portuguese and Italian.
Mormons are as lost as Muslims. Muslims are as lost as Catholics. Catholics are as lost as right-wing Conservatives. Right-wing Conservatives/fascists are as lost as left-wing idolaters. All are as lost as the Jews without our Messiah. ALL ARE LOST TODAY TO BIGOTRY AND IDOLATRY. Rev 18, America burns, then Zechariah 14:4, Islam burns, along with ALL who don’t flee into the mountain valley Jesus makes when He steps down on the Mount of Olives. When you see America burn, Mashiach comes. Tick-Tock...
It a made up language for a made up people.
We need more information about the influence of Aramaic on Semetic Language in the first to fourth centuries C.E. to expose the beginning of Arabic, in debunking the Qur'ans.
Yehova is also derived from Jove
Daniel 9:27 And he ( Eleazar Ben Hanania) shall be mighty in the covenant (captain/ governor of the temple) for one week (from 63 to 70 A.D. and in the midst of the week (66 A.D.) he shall cause the sacrifice and oblation ( to Emperor Nero) to cease. And for the bird abomination ( the Jews captured the Roman Aquila at Beth Horon . He (Titus) shall destroy the sanctuary ( the second Temple) . This verse describes the events of Daniel’s 70th week.

13:35 ChatGPT answer: The phrase “Your fly is open” originated from the use of the term fly in tailoring and clothing, which dates back to the 19th century. In this context, the fly refers to a flap of fabric covering an opening, such as the front closure of trousers. This usage likely derives from the Old English word flȳge, meaning “to flow or swing freely,” which evolved to describe movable parts of garments. The specific expression “Your fly is open” became common in the mid-20th century as a polite way to inform someone that the zipper or buttons on their pants were undone. Its casual and somewhat humorous tone contributed to its widespread use in English-speaking cultures.
ChatGPT answer: 6:36 In Yiddish, approximately 15-20% of the vocabulary is derived from Hebrew and Aramaic. This percentage can vary depending on the context and the speaker’s familiarity with religious or liturgical texts, as Hebrew-derived words are often associated with Jewish religious, cultural, and scholarly life. The rest of Yiddish vocabulary primarily comes from Middle High German (accounting for the majority of its words) with additional influences from Slavic languages, Romance languages, and other sources.
Yeshua was the one “like unto Moses” that Moses prophesied. And Yeshua was like “the builder of the house,” while Moses was like the “servant in the house.” As great as Moses was, it was Yeshua that split history so that modern history is dated from His birth. Yeshua is Immanuel, GOD WITH US. As one who was once a Gentile, now a Saint, I obey Torah even as Yeshua obeyed Torah and basically declared it to be eternal in Matthew 5:17.
Would Jewish scholars agree that the Book of Mormon is chock full of Hebraisms? ruclips.net/video/7_xbqr5WZ_o/видео.html
This is true judaism. The judaism of God, not of men.
very nice thanks for sharing
It's actually hard to express how much I enjoy Nehemia. I can watch him read the phonebook. He is so beloved. Thanks for teaching me so much about Jewish culture and Torah. Shalom
Fascinating stuff!
Here's the thing...there is no proof anywhere that any of what JS said was true...no place no people no money with inscription....nothing!
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leningrad_Codex This document has YHWH over 7000 times. I’ve had the pleasure of seeing this in person summer of 1993
Could someone give us a good spelling for English of that word. Am I hearing Meshichiam? Sorry. I have a bit of a hearing issue and am trying to spell it phonetically and my very limited knowledge of Hebrew.
A church that calls Christ a liar is not the church that Christ started.
The truth will come to light. May JEHOVAH bring to light HIS truth, and lead you to the original manuscripts. It will certainly set us free!
Beautiful! I'm so glad you made a distinction between the Father and the Son, They are not the same person as many teach but one in the same purpose.
you have the original counterfeit Bible purely disgusting? Spiritually dead people will never figure the truth out. There is no salvation in the other Jesus in Mormonism. The one Paul warned us about.
Blah, blah, blah!
How do you decide which manuscript to follow? Yeshuah taught us the formula when He told the Pharisees, "You err because you don't know the scriptures." The New Testament had not been written yet, and nobody had invented the term Old Testament either; There was only The Scriptures.
But you still don't have the original missing 116 pages.
Nehemia - sincere questions - why are you spending all of this time with Mormon writings? I once saw an amazing history of the movement & it proved that there are even drawings of ancient demonic entities including a lude snake god within the original Egyptian (or whatever) pages Smith "translated", which today linguists can actually read and they say NOTHING of what Smith & his magic spectacles came up with. He showed the original writing/drawings. Why aren't you going into any of that? Maybe it is because, as that presenter claimed, that kind of info is only available to the highest level Mormon leaders.
I believe you're talking about the facsimile document number 2. The idea is that Joseph received this from a traveling museum sporting Egyptian artifacts and sold them to Joseph. The hypocephalus, or the facsimile, is dated to the second century AD, I believe. I could be wrong, but the image is a portion of the book of breathing, which was placed under the heads of the dead for burial ceremonies. When Joseph Smith received the hypocephalus, he wrote in one third of the image, which comports greatly to other copies of the image found in other places. He translated this document, not as a pagan practice, but as the message intended when it was first manifest. He claims it was originally the writing of Abraham. Egypt has many gods with various functions. If you look at the first four numbered figures and the function of the pagan deities, you'll find that they comport with the first four verses of Genesis. The snake you mentioned certainly might be used for thousands of years, but originally it could have been the serpent in Eden before it lost its arms. The Mormon church is loathe to talk about the Book of Abraham because the church generates a culture that bows to authority. The Egyptologists will declare that Joseph got the translations all wrong as the figures are not heavenly bodies, but Egyptian deities. The truth is that these documents have changed with the culture over thousands of years. The Book of Abraham asserts that it was Abraham that have knowledge of the heavens to Egypt. While I don't follow zodiac signs, I find it interesting that nearly every culture has similarities. For instance Taurus is a bull in western cultures and an ox in Chinese astrology. I think it's evident these originated from an original source, and it is likely from the time that Egypt bought up all the real estate in the days of Joseph.
@@shanikaswasey3708 Very interestinng. Thank you for making the effort to share. The original Chinese has some characters that tell the story of Adam & Eve & the snake in the tree, plus other similar depictions of the Tanakh &; >
This is a bunch of garbage, and it's hilarious to see people still run with it. Did the presenter also claim they jumped out of the top of the Salt Lake Temple into the "Great Salt Lake?" You know, the same way everyone who makes up this slander does?
Why indeed! I felt the same way. To even put mormonism's documents in the discussion of legit holy writ is flat disgusting. On the other hand I am grateful to know who this presenter is for future reference because I have family in the cult of mormonism.
@squirrelicis to me it makes sense. I don't subscribe to any of the current branches of the church because I find the evidence perfectly compelling that Joseph was betrayed by those closest to him. These people went on to lead the church into the wilderness and scrubbed the records. ruclips.net/video/pTuu6Y6C0o4/видео.htmlsi=wugW1esgyBqX7igN I would quote from the D&C to prove the church went in the opposite direction Smith intended, but even the D&C, like the person in this interview shows concerning thy Joseph Smith Papers, had been contaminated. An old matriarch of a Seventh Day Adventist family told me her family was originally Mormon. She kept it as a family oral tradition that the Mormons were forced to vote which day was the Sabbath day. The Sunday observers won by a single vote. This proves to me, as well as numerous texts from D&C that the original Mormons were Torah observant. The only thing we can rely on about what Joseph Smith believed can only come from the Book of Mormon, and even that's been tampered with, as the interview shows. The Mormon church: gone.
Hello Nehemia, a couple of months ago, I stumbled upon one of your RUclips videos. I felt deeply interested because I love learning about Scriptures. Pardon my English because I am a French speaker (from the Caribbean). Although I am not a Latter Day Saint, I happen to be a Book of Mormon lover. When I first listened about how you found in the Vatican Library "junkbox" a page which was a Hebrew version of the Gospel of Matthew, it dawned on me that the work you have been doing for so many years could very well be the fulfillment of a prophecy you can find in the Book of Mormon. You can find it in 2 Nephi 29 verses 12 and 13 : 12 For behold, I shall speak unto the Jews and they shall write it; and I shall also speak unto the Nephites and they shall write it; and I shall also speak unto the other tribes of the house of Israel, which I have led away, and they shall write it; and I shall also speak unto all nations of the earth and they shall write it. 13 And it shall come to pass that the Jews shall have the words of the Nephites, and the Nephites shall have the words of the Jews; and the Nephites and the Jews shall have the words of the lost tribes of Israel; and the lost tribes of Israel shall have the words of the Nephites and the Jews. I do think that what you do when you let people know about ancient scriptural material, you do allow this prophecy to come true. And although you probably think that the Book of Mormon is a forgery and that Joseph Smith is a fraud, I believe that your work, your research, everything you have been doing for two or three decades is the very PROOF that the Book of Mormon is true. From a sincere admirer.
Wrong. The name was not invented. Chief translator of updated ASV 2021 has the records to prove it was vowel pointed since 400A.D by the Masorets. Go to sacred name of God was not a myth online. Also there is a letter J in Hebrew JOD. Preserved by the original Hebrew language by the Sephardic Jews. Modern Jews come from Europe and don’t know about the Letter J and use Y instead. The Sephardic Jews are from Portugal and Spain and preserved the J in the Hebrew alphabet
These are amazing i live about 1/2 from the mountian
What does the forgery say, what's the agenda for the forgery? What does it accomplish?
Hoffman's motives are scattered and varied amongst all his forgeries. Money seems to be a primary motivation. The LDS Church and LDS collectors were an untapped market in the 80's and they were just buying this stuff up. Other theories claim he lost his faith on his LDS mission and it was also a way to kind of "stick it" to Mormonism. Another popular theory is that he was building up to a great forgery of the "lost 116" pages of the Book of Mormon, by slowly improving his personas handwritings and getting them introduced into the historic records. Then after they were established in the historic record they would give weight to his own 116 page forgery. Royal is right to point this one out and it gives potential hints to the last theory I described. If Hoffman can introduce the word "Morman", with an "a", then he can screw around with that in his 116 pages and get instant credibility there. His forgery then explains a mystery to the historians, who are always hungry for these kinds of explanations. Messing with the story is something Hoffman was regularly doing, which goes to the theory of his lost faith. One Hoffman forgery is a version of Joseph seeing the golden plates on a first visit to them still in the hill Cumorah. There is a "salamander" creature in the box that interacts with Joseph. Well this is new and exciting! But it played off a well attested account, that is in the history, where there was a "toad" like creature that Joseph interacted with and was a guardian of the plates. Hoffman's forgery had a certain ring to that for the historians and leadership, so much so that Apostle Dallin H Oaks defended the "salamander letter", at BYU, in 1985, before it was a known forgery, to an audience of church educators. That shows how effective his subtle forgeries could have big impacts on the church itself.
Are you referring to the original story written by Solomon Spalding (Manuscript Found), or the transcribed M anus cript that j. smith wrote? You know that the truth is out!
Very interesting question: Name another denomination besides the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints that sent missionaries to Jerusalem to dedicate the land for the return of the Jews. Orson Hyde dedicated the Holy Land for the return of the Jews October 24, 1841. This is nearly two decades before Theodor Herzl was born. Joseph Smith might actually be the original Zionist. I love Joseph. He was a prophet. He will again stand on the Earth, and all will see him for the great man he was.
Bad grammar and all...ive learned things in the book of mormons that none of the highest kabbalists know...and no common jew knows...so....

Check out all the new information.... Joseph SMith NEVER practiced polygamy. Stay in the church and Do your own thing! CHeck these Mormon channels about it. its sooo good! You will Love Joseph Again. Emma never lied!! 1. Still Mormon 2. Rob Fotheringham 3. 132 Problems: Revisiting Mormon Polygamy 4. I believe Joseph
Yeah let's trust pseudoscientists with an agenda and inherit biases tell us what really happened 🙄 Let's just ignore the fact that even the non-member historians with actual degrees and training have concluded in agreement with the current church about the origins of polygamy. Let's also not forget that all of these pseudoscientists completely ignore the promises made by Joseph himself and many others, including in ancient Scripture about the relation and the future of the church, all which would be in flat contradiction had polygamy not been given by God. Furthermore, many of these people belong to a church that was founded by those excommunicated by Joseph and have not the organization, priesthood, or the practices established by God. Those who remain in the current church with these beliefs seem to be ignorant of the promises made by Joseph and many more about the future and destiny of the church, all of which would have been proven false if what they proclaim is actually true. Joseph is either a false project from the beginning or celestial plural marriage and the endowment all came from God for his purposes. Believe whatever you want, but don't insult the memory of Joseph by claiming to adhere to his teachings while also proclaiming that the church he was called to restore to the earth for the last time not only fell into apostasy at the hands of murderers, liars, and profane sacrilege adulterers, but that it somehow was allowed to invent (according to these disgusting teaching you accept) an entire false and anti-christ temple worship that was crowned with what you would call a gross and devil inspired twisting of God's most sacred of unions: marriage. The implications are actually beyond my current linguistic ability to fully express. To suggest that the church fell into a black abyss like the one you claim they fell into and could still exist today as God's church, and not have been destroyed off the face of the earth, is an absolute insult to Joseph Smith and to God himself.
This is absolutely not true. I myself am a member of the church too. The fact that polygamy existed in the early church doesn't automatically make it false. To say this you must also say that Christianity is false solely because the prophets of the old testament also practiced polygamy. Joseph practiced polygamy. Emma knew it (but obviously did not like it). I wouldn't like it either. It's an uncomfortable subject. But do not deny it happened just because it is uncomfortable. The journal of William Clayton describes numerous times that Joseph talks to him about the subject. Here's an example: "This was the first time the Prophet Joseph talked with me on the subject of plural marriage. He informed me that the doctrine and principle was right.., and that it was a doctrine which pertained to celestial order and glory." This is directly from his journal, and is just one example. Church is true. But don't deny the history. Without Section 132, you lose the doctrine of sealings and eternal families. That's a big deal.
So in Christianity we talk about being born again. When I realized I needed to keep the Torah, became Messianic, I felt born again again. Is this the idea you are speaking of, the idea that there is still more we need to learn, more we need to purge from our lives to be set free?
Why don't you Mormans tell people straight up what you actually believe about God the Father? .........that God the Father was once a man! And, how about telling people up front that you all believe that one day that you will each be elevated to being a "God" over you very own little world! .......Morman men only, of course.......oh, sorry......."white" men only, if you are going to be in line with most of Morman history.
What are your thoughts on YHWH predating the Old testament and Israel and being a storm god in neighbouring and surrounding religoiions and regions?
