Answering Questions Re:

The Two Lineages
(Emphasis On Individuals)

          The Origin:   GOD has both a Right and a Left (Psalm 110:1; 28:5; Isaiah 5:12; I Kings 22:19; Job 23:9).   Jesus is at His Right and Satan is at His Left.   In the Beginning both were described:   one as Day and the other as Night (Genesis 1:1-5).   Later, on the fourth day, the earth received its 24 hour day-night sequence (Genesis 1:14-19).   Thus, in the very beginning GOD set up a division between His Right and His Left.

          The Birth Of Twins:   Similarly, when humanity was established on the Sixth Day with the creation of Adam and then Eve, the betrothed wife of Adam, i.e. they were married (temporarily and conditionally) as Adam had yet to go into his wife to consummate, make permanent, their marriage:   both had been warned to obey GOD and to avoid the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.   Satan was that tree (Ezekiel 31:18).   However, Eve allowed herself to be seduced by Satan (beguiled:   Genesis 3:13; wholly seduced:   II Corinthians 11:3; I Timothy 2:14).   She then told Adam that it was great or words to that effect and Adam partook of his then unclean wife (Genesis 3:12).   The two seeds produced Cain and Abel, twins (Genesis 4:1-2).   Eve, of course, was the mother of all living (Genesis 3:20) but Adam was NOT the father of Cain.   Thus, two separate lineages (the left versus the right or the North versus the South) were established, one the seed of man and the other the seed of the beast (Satan, the serpent).

          Thus, GOD had respect for Abel (Adam's son) but had not respect for Cain (the adulterous seed of the beast) (Genesis 4:4-5).   Therefore, Cain's jealousy overflowed and Cain killed Abel (Genesis 4:8).   This is interesting in that, through history, seeds from lineages are swapped back and forth via concubines:   Canaan, Solomon, Obed, and Joseph (husband of Mary) are good examples where the seed of one lineage was given to the other.

          The Transfer:   Another interesting facet is that, under GOD'S Marriage Laws, the woman assumes the lineage of her true husband, the first man to know her.   Thus, Cain took Adam's daughters to wed and Adam's sons took Cain's daughters as wives (Genesis 5:4).   And even Cain's lineage had been offered Salvation like everyone else, "If thou doest well..." (Genesis 4:7).   So, all humanity is essentially standing on equal footings when it comes to obeying and Salvation.   Even the wicked who turn from their wicked ways shall be accepted; whereas, the righteous who turn from righteousness shall lose it all (Ezekiel 3:17-21; 33:3-16).   Also, the parents can make it easier or more difficult for their children (Exodus 20:5; 34:7; Deuteronomy 23:2).

          Canaan:   Scripture does not elaborate directly.   But, before The Flood people from Cain's lineage including people from the Nile, Euphrates-Tigris, and Indus River Regions came to help Noah prepare for The Flood.   They, of course, were called "Beasts" while associated with Noah's Ark and afterwards were called "Kenites," descendants of Cain (the first child).   Thus, Noah and his three sons represented people from each of the four river regions who survived with Noah's family and others.

          Even the children of Lamech (Cain's lineage) in order to be "father of such as dwell in tents, and of such as have cattle ... (and) such as handle the harp and organ ... (and) an instructor of every artificer in brass and iron..." they had to have crossed The Flood on board Noah's Ark (Genesis 4:20-22). Furthermore, Naamah, Lamech's daughter, undoubtedly also crossed over The Flood as Ham's concubine to beget Canaan who also would be of the cursed lineage of Cain.   Her husband apparently died in The Flood.   Why else, when Ham looked upon his father's (Noah's) nakedness, did Noah not curse Ham but instead cursed Canaan who already was amongst the lineage of the cursed ones (Genesis 9:25-27)?

          Thus, the evidence indicates that Ham provided seed via Naamah to help propagate the cursed lineage of Canaan.   And after The Flood each group returned to their respective river region while Noah and those who still cleaved to him traveled from Tayma' to Hebron (Kirjatharba) (Habakkuk 3:3).   Then about 333 years after The Flood, rulers were sent forth from the City of Arbah to govern the other river regions (Genesis 10:25).   Terah, Abram's father, was amongst those dispatched to Sumer and Abram was born in Ur.   Later, upon Terah's death, GOD sent Abram back to Hebron (Kirjatharba) to take custody of GOD'S original Holy Ark carried across The Flood by Noah (Habakkuk 3:3).   Shem's long life as custodian of GOD'S original Holy Ark was soon to end.

          Ephraim, Joseph's Chosen Son:   Ephraim's elder brother, Manasseh, received blessings (manifested in the world progress:   1900 to present) but Ephraim receives both the inheritance and blessings that go with it (Genesis 48:15-20; 49:1,22-26; Deuteronomy 33:13-17).

          Ephraim had three sons:   Shuthelah, Becher, and Tahan (Numbers 26:35-37).   Ephraim's lineage via Shuthelah terminated with Ezer and Elead who were slain as cattle thieves (I Chronicles 7:20-21).   Therefore, Ephraim's lineage via Becher (Beriah:   I Chronicles 7:23-27) is described as the royal lineage beginning with Elishama (Numbers 2:18; 7:48,53; 10:22).   However, this record extends only to Joshua son of Nun as the Scriptures provide no record of Joshua having paternal sons.   And Joshua was Moses' successor.

          Judah:   Later, in the days of Judah, Judah disobeyed Abraham and Isaac's admonitions (Genesis 24:3,37; 26:34-35; 28:1,6) and took a Canaanitish woman to wife, i.e. the Canaanite symbolized a harlot, the adulterous wife of another (Genesis 38:2-5).   Judah later went into his daughter in-law, another forbidden act (Genesis 38:13-30).   Thus, Judah had no legitimate heirs (Malachi 2:11-12); and, the name Judah has been applied to this disobedient world throughout subsequent history.

          Mahlon To David:   Still later, Boaz, the seventh generation from Pharez (one of the bastard twins begat by Judah and Tamar's adulterous union), took Ruth as his concubine (pseudo wife) to raise heirs to Mahlon, Ruth's true husband who had died (Ruth 4:10; also see Genesis 38:8-9; Deuteronomy 25:5-6).   The union of Boaz and Ruth (Boaz's concubine) produced Obed who begat Jesse ("that Ephrathite" - I Samuel 17:12) who begat David of the lineage of Ephraim through Mahlon (Ruth 1:2; 4:21-22).

          David Unto Jesus:   Whereas, the true lineage of David via Nathan unto Jesus is shown in Luke 3:23-31.   David is obviously of the lineage of Ephraim, Joseph's chosen son and heir.   Whereas, David is frequently identified as "King of Judah" meaning King of this unGODly and unrighteous world.   Remember, Judah had no legitimate heirs (Malachi 2:11-12).   And Israel, Ephraim, and David are identified as GOD'S firstborn (Exodus 4:22; Jeremiah 31:9; Psalm 89:27) which refers to the Human Shepherd of the Gathering of true Israel (Psalm 89:19-37; 110:5-7; Isaiah 49:1-6; 41:8-12; Jeremiah 16:14-15; 23:7-8; etc.).

          Joseph (Mary's Husband) And Jesus:   Joseph could have only one human true father, Heli of the lineage of David via Nathan; whereas, Joseph's step father was Jacob son of Matthan of the lineage of Solomon.   And as Mary was the betrothed (virgin) wife of Joseph when GOD willed that Mary be with child, the child Jesus was Joseph's legitimate Son, the Grandson of Heli.   Today this virgin Birth of Jesus prefigures the birth of The Firstfruits before their marriage is consummated on the Glorious Solemn Assembly (Zephaniah 3:18).

          Jesus, of course, is of Ephraim via David, Nathan ... Heli, and Joseph.   Jesus is NOT of the children of Solomon, the AntiChrists (Jewry).   Yes, Jesus came as The Teacher Of Righteousness and taught in the Herodian Temple, synagogues, and wherever He went (Revelation 19:12-13).   But remember, the Word Of GOD has been with humanity from the beginning; whereas, Solomon is the progenitor of the Jewish people and religion which like other religions doesn't always adhere to the Word Of GOD.   And, yes, the world rulers had been ensconced within Jewry (the throne of the Sixth Kingdom) and the Scriptures were even given to Jewry to spread the Word worldwide.   However, people have not fully realized the role of the Left Hand of GOD, the Four Great Beasts, the Behind-The-Scenes Organizations, the False Prophets, Phony Laws, Stumbling Blocks, the Ancient Nation, etc. set up to lead the disobedient unto their desolations.

          Jesus, the Word Of GOD:   Revelation 19:13, is the Lion of Judah (Revelation 5:5).   That is, Jesus is the Lion in the midst of the tribe of Judah, this world:

          "... in the midst of many people as a lion among the beasts of the forest, as a young lion among the flocks of sheep:   who if he go through, both teareth in pieces, and none can deliver."

Micah 5:8
Genesis 3:24; Revelation 1:16; Isaiah 49:2; 11:4

          Establishing Solomon's Children:   David, in turn, gave seed to Bathsheba the true wife of Uriah of the lineage of Heth son of the cursed Canaan to begat Solomon (II Samuel 11:1 thru 12:25).   This Canaanite lineage may be followed from Solomon down to Jacob son of Matthan who gave seed to his concubine, Joseph's mother (wife of Heli then deceased), to begat Joseph (the legitimate son and heir of Heli) (Matthew 1:6-16).   This (excepting Heli, Joseph, and Jesus) is the Canaanite lineage from Solomon.

          Mixing Them Up:   If matters were not already well mixed we must consider humanity's disregard of GOD'S Marriage Laws.   Today GOD'S requirement that a maiden be a virgin for marriage has been virtually forgotten.   And who knows for certain whether their ancestors observed that specification?   Thus, the seed of man and the seed of the beast are quite well churned up (Jeremiah 31:27; Amos 9:9).   Whereas, the Eternal Congregation will be assembled from all peoples, races, creeds, languages, etc. based upon one's conduct.   As such, The Firstfruits will be the True Israel of the future.
