Russia is one of the most ethnically diverse nations in the world, with more than 100 ethnic groups spread across its massive territory. Among these are 41 officially recognized Indigenous small-numbered peoples of the North, Siberia, and the Far East. These Indigenous communities have lived on their ancestral lands for thousands of years and maintain a spiritual connection to nature, believing that the land, water, air, and animals are sacred parts of life itself.

The Indigenous peoples of Russia include groups such as the Nenets, Evenkis, Chukchi, Enets, Oroks, and many others. Some communities consist of only a few hundred people, placing them at risk of extinction. Despite their small numbers, these peoples inhabit nearly two-thirds of Russia’s territory, especially in remote northern and Arctic regions.

Many Indigenous communities continue traditional lifestyles based on reindeer herding, hunting, fishing, gathering, and seasonal migration. Their cultures are deeply tied to the environment, and many practice spiritual traditions rooted in respect for nature and ancestral wisdom. Indigenous languages belong mainly to the Uralic, Altaic, and Paleo-Siberian language families, though many of these languages are now endangered because of modernization and assimilation policies.

Over the decades, Indigenous peoples in Russia have faced serious social, political, and economic struggles. Industrial expansion, oil drilling, gas pipelines, logging, and mining projects have increasingly taken over traditional lands and sacred areas. Reindeer pastures, fishing waters, and hunting territories have been damaged or restricted by large extractive industries. Although Russian law contains certain protections for Indigenous peoples, these laws are often poorly enforced or ignored altogether.

Organizations such as the Russian Association of Indigenous Peoples of the North (RAIPON) have attempted to defend Indigenous rights and preserve traditional cultures. However, many Indigenous organizations have experienced government restrictions, political pressure, and legal obstacles, especially after laws targeting groups with foreign funding were introduced.

Economic hardship remains a major concern in Indigenous territories. Unemployment rates are significantly higher than the national average, while incomes are often much lower. Many communities suffer from poor housing, lack of healthcare access, unsafe drinking water, and limited educational opportunities. Diseases such as tuberculosis, hepatitis, and respiratory infections affect Indigenous populations at far higher rates than the general Russian population. Life expectancy is also lower, especially among men in remote northern regions.

Cultural survival is another growing challenge. Over the last century, government assimilation policies, Russian-language schools, migration into Indigenous territories, and mass media have weakened many native traditions and languages. Today, only a small percentage of Siberia’s tribal populations still maintain nomadic or semi-nomadic lifestyles, and dozens of Indigenous languages are considered endangered.

Despite these hardships, the Indigenous peoples of Russia continue to demonstrate remarkable resilience and determination. Many communities are actively working to revive their languages, preserve their traditions, protect sacred lands, and pass ancestral knowledge on to future generations. Their survival reflects not only endurance but also a deep spiritual connection to their history, identity, and the natural world. 

The Parliamentarians, often referred to as “Roundheads” by their opponents and later historians, supported the English Parliament during the English Civil War (1642–1651). They opposed King Charles I and his Royalist supporters, known as the Cavaliers, who defended absolute monarchy and the divine right of kings. The Roundheads sought to place the executive power of England under the authority of Parliament rather than the sole control of the king.

Most Roundheads favored a constitutional monarchy instead of the absolute monarchy promoted by Charles I. However, by the end of the Civil War in 1649, widespread public hostility toward the king allowed republican leaders such as Oliver Cromwell to abolish the monarchy entirely and establish the Commonwealth of England.

Although many Roundhead leaders, including Thomas Fairfax, Edward Montagu, and Robert Devereux, still supported constitutional monarchy, Cromwell and his radical allies gained greater influence through the backing of the New Model Army. They capitalized on Charles I’s alliance with the Scottish against Parliament, which many viewed as a betrayal of England.

The Roundhead movement attracted strong support from Puritans, Presbyterians, Independents, and other religious groups, though some members of the Church of England also sided with Parliament. Political groups within the movement included the Levellers, Diggers, and the Fifth Monarchists, each advocating different social and religious reforms.

The term “Roundhead” originally referred to the short-cropped hairstyles worn by some Puritans, which contrasted sharply with the long, fashionable curls of the Royalists. Initially used as an insult, the term became widely associated with supporters of Parliament during the Civil War. Over time, “Roundhead” became linked with republican ideas until it was eventually replaced by the term “Whig” during the political conflicts of the late seventeenth century.

Trey Knowles: Risala 7 – “The Stone the Builders Rejected Has Become the Cornerstone”

They say, “Pay your debt,” but the only debt I owe is to love you—and you did not love me.
Those who bless Israel will be blessed, and those who curse Israel will be cursed. I come for the house of Jacob.

I say my Lord Yeshua will reign over Jacob’s descendants forever; His kingdom will never end, as it is written in Luke 1:33:

هذا يكون عظيماً وابن العلي يُدعى ويعطيه الرب الإله كرسي داود أبيه
ويملك على بيت يعقوب إلى الأبد ولا يكون لملكه نهاية

I, Trey Knowles, will take away amnesia from my people. Remember your ancestor Yosef, who was sold into slavery by his brothers’ hands. So I say the Transatlantic Slave Trade also came by our brothers’ hands. You have cut the nose of Zaphenath-Paneah.

You have come against the house of Ya'aqov for too long, and now the time has come for you to pay your debts. The rent is overdue. The landlord is coming home to collect payment. You have rejected my people without reason, and now I reject you without reason.

Tell the American colonizers: my Lord’s hair is like wool, and my people are made in His image and likeness. You colonizers—what you think you built will not last; it will soon be destroyed.

The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone, and He is beautiful. Let my people rejoice.

As for you, synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Israelites but are not—you too have rejected me. Do not be naïve, my people. For how can Satan cast out Satan? Those who claim to be Israelites but are not—this is who they are.

Understand this, my people: if Satan opposes himself and is divided, his kingdom cannot stand; rather, it is coming to an end. This is why the counterfeit Israel agrees with your unforgiving colonizer.

As for you who call yourselves the Holy See, you do not have the keys, and you do not own a throne. As God instructed Moses to tell Aaron to take his rod and stretch his hand over the waters of Egypt, so therefore I, Trey Knowles, tell you: I have not come to bring peace to you, but to deliver my people from you, workers of iniquity.

سَأَصْرِفُ عَنْ ءَايَـٰتِىَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَتَكَبَّرُونَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ بِغَيْرِ ٱلْحَقِّ وَإِن يَرَوْا۟ كُلَّ ءَايَةٍۢ لَّا يُؤْمِنُوا۟ بِهَا وَإِن يَرَوْا۟ سَبِيلَ ٱلرُّشْدِ لَا يَتَّخِذُوهُ سَبِيلًۭا وَإِن يَرَوْا۟ سَبِيلَ ٱلْغَىِّ يَتَّخِذُوهُ سَبِيلًۭا ۚ ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ كَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَا وَكَانُوا۟ عَنْهَا غَـٰفِلِينَ ١٤٦
Surah Al-A'raf (7:146)

“I will turn away from My signs those who act unjustly with arrogance in the land. Even if they were to see every sign, they would not believe in them. If they see the Right Path, they will not take it. But if they see a crooked path, they will follow it. This is because they denied Our signs and were heedless of them.”

Grace and peace.
Sincerely,
Trey Knowles
The House of Jacob

Trey Knowles’ Praetors Creed of America is a bold, unconventional comedy that reimagines a modern-day “Saul” narrative in a fictional, Roman-inspired version of America. The story centers on a powerful Praetor, portrayed by Clarence Thomas, who serves under a Roman-style American president and uses his authority to intensify the oppression of a group known as the Israelites.

Fueling the chaos is his brother, the loud and polarizing Uncle Ruckus, whose open disdain for the Israelites and admiration for Donald Trump push the conflict into exaggerated, absurd territory. Ruckus eagerly backs efforts against them, amplifying the tension with his over-the-top rhetoric.

As the situation escalates, persecution spreads, drawing in innocent Gentiles and even those who claim to support the Israelites—creating layers of irony and chaotic twists. In a key comedic moment, Trey Knowles directly confronts Clarence Thomas, asking, “Why do you persecute me?” Clarence looks at his wife first, and then responds with a shocking and uncomfortable admission, underscoring the story’s satirical edge.

Meanwhile, the Gentiles—confused by the unfolding events and convinced they should be the ones facing persecution—begin questioning Clarence: “Weren’t you the one who helped MAGA spark a revolt and led chaos into the wilderness not long ago?” His response only deepens the absurdity and highlights the contradictions at the heart of the narrative, making the situation even stranger as he again looks toward his wife.

Blending satire, historical parody, and outrageous humor, Praetors Creed of America offers a wild, thought-provoking take on power, loyalty, and the strange, often cyclical nature of history.

Trey Knowles’ “Archive Message”

To my readers,

My desire for you is to follow the example of my Lord, Yeshua, and to do the will of our Father in heaven. If you release the life shaped by the colonizer, you will find your true life. Love protects—but you, my people, must also walk in obedience to the teachings of your Lord Yeshua.

Out of love, I warn you about the influence of the colonizer. I write in peace to remind you that complexion has often been used as a reason for mistreatment, even though you bear the image and likeness given to you by the Lord.

Look around and open your eyes. Have not people across the earth, marked by their skin, faced injustice and persecution? How many have been imprisoned without cause? I tell you, your life today no longer reflects what it once was when you lived as an indigenous people, fully dependent on God.

Yesterday, today, and still now, the oppressor remains the same. Though they may present themselves as lovers of God or as an angel of light, their actions reveal something different. They are like wolves among sheep—controlling and devouring. You will recognize them by their fruit, which stands in contrast to the ways of our Lord Yeshua.

Identity matters. The purpose of the colonizer or oppressor is to control and enslave while benefiting from that control. Much of what is set before you is designed to corrupt—through media, imagery, and influence.

What the colonizer values becomes the standard for those under that system, creating dependence on those values. This system is sustained by the pursuit of money, which keeps the oppressor in power.

Indigenous people once depended on God and valued Him above all, without reliance on money. What, then, has become of those people?

To my readers—both now and in the future—I warn you: if God is for you, who can stand against you? Yet some remain blinded, distracted by the pursuit of money for survival, living within a system shaped by a colonizing force.

Out of love, I speak to you.

Sincerely Trey Knowles

Trey Knowles: Risala 6 – “Diversion and Prioritizing”

To the believer and to the chosen: your enemy’s weapon against you is what you value most. Will the believers continue to compromise their faith? This, my brothers and sisters, is a test of your loyalty. And will the chosen ones of Israel continue to become addicted to taking the venom of the snake? What is being offered to you becomes a curse. In other words, you’ve been baited like Pinocchio.

The principality system that hates you also enslaves you, influences you, and tempts you like the fox and the cat in Pinocchio. Hollywood, luxury, fame, sports, play, bread, circuses, and foolishness—consider how Balaam was hired to curse Israel, the chosen ones, turning the chosen Israelites into human, demonic androids and misplacing their trust and devotion away from the Father who is in heaven. Be on guard.

Yeshua teaches us in Matthew 6:21:
“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

My Lord Yeshua emphasizes that a person’s priorities and affections are centered on what they value most—whether it is our Father’s spiritual investment in us or earthly wealth.

“No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.”

You must make a choice now about whom you are going to devote your loyalty to. For I tell you, as for me and my house, I, Trey Knowles, devote myself to the Lord.

ٱعْلَمُوٓا۟ أَنَّمَا ٱلْحَيَوٰةُ ٱلدُّنْيَا لَعِبٌۭ وَلَهْوٌۭ وَزِينَةٌۭ وَتَفَاخُرٌۢ بَيْنَكُمْ وَتَكَاثُرٌۭ فِى ٱلْأَمْوَٰلِ وَٱلْأَوْلَـٰدِ ۖ كَمَثَلِ غَيْثٍ أَعْجَبَ ٱلْكُفَّارَ نَبَاتُهُۥ ثُمَّ يَهِيجُ فَتَرَىٰهُ مُصْفَرًّۭا ثُمَّ يَكُونُ حُطَـٰمًۭا ۖ وَفِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ عَذَابٌۭ شَدِيدٌۭ وَمَغْفِرَةٌۭ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَرِضْوَٰنٌۭ ۚ وَمَا ٱلْحَيَوٰةُ ٱلدُّنْيَآ إِلَّا مَتَـٰعُ ٱلْغُرُورِ ٢٠

— Surah Al-Hadid (57:20)

“Know that this worldly life is no more than play, amusement, luxury, mutual boasting, and competition in wealth and children. It is like rain that causes plants to grow, to the delight of the planters. But later the plants dry up; you see them wither, and then they are reduced to chaff. And in the Hereafter there will be either severe punishment or forgiveness and pleasure from Allah, whereas the life of this world is no more than the delusion of enjoyment.”

So I ask: Will the believers continue to compromise their faith? And will the chosen ones continue to become addicted to taking the venom of the snake? In this way, your enemy does not seek to reconcile the evils of slavery, but rather to continue them.

Grace and Peace,
Trey Knowles

The Biblical Tower of Babel

The most commonly known of all these accounts is the biblical Tower of Babel narrative found in the Book of Genesis, chapter eleven verses one through nine. This narrative basically states that the generations following a global deluge cataclysm united together under one language. They migrated west into the region of Shinar (Sumer or modern day Iraq) and they were determined to build a great city, with a tower.

There is a curious indication that somehow, this tower would empower them and prevent any future annihilation. Furthermore, this project is seen as an affront to the supreme deity. To counter this effort, the deity intervenes by confounding the language that united them, thereby undermining the project and causing the people to scatter throughout the planet.

The Tower of Babel and the Great Pyramid of Cholula are two of the most intriguing structures in human history—one rooted in biblical narrative, the other in Mesoamerican archaeology. Despite originating from different cultures and time periods, they share several striking similarities in symbolism, structure, and purpose.

1. Monumental Structures Reaching Toward the Sky

Both the Tower of Babel and the Pyramid of Cholula are described or constructed as massive structures intended to rise prominently above the surrounding land.

• The Tower of Babel was said to be built “with its top in the heavens.”
• The Cholula Pyramid (also called Tlachihualtepetl) is the largest pyramid by volume in the world.

Similarity: Both represent humanity’s attempt to build upward—symbolically bridging earth and sky.

2. Religious and Spiritual Significance

Each structure is deeply tied to spiritual beliefs:

• The Tower of Babel was constructed as a unified human effort, possibly to reach or challenge divine authority.
• The Pyramid of Cholula was a sacred temple platform dedicated primarily to the deity Quetzalcoatl.

Similarity: Both serve as focal points of religious identity and interaction with the divine.

3. Cultural Legends of Construction

Both structures are surrounded by mythic or legendary narratives:

• The Tower of Babel explains the origin of different languages and human dispersion.
• Local legends suggest the Cholula Pyramid was built by giants or ancient beings after a great flood.

Similarity: Each structure is embedded in origin stories explaining human history or cosmic events.

4. Association with a Great Flood Narrative

Interestingly, both traditions include flood-related themes:

• The Tower of Babel appears shortly after the flood story of Noah in the Bible.
• Cholula myths describe survivors of a great flood constructing the pyramid.

Similarity: Both are connected to post-cataclysmic rebuilding or human reorganization.

5. Symbol of Human Unity and Division

• The Tower of Babel represents unity turned into division when languages were confused.
• The Cholula Pyramid reflects a unified cultural effort over centuries, though later civilizations repurposed it.

Similarity: Both structures symbolize collective human effort—either disrupted (Babel) or sustained (Cholula).

6. Massive Labor and Multi-Generational Construction

• Babel required coordinated labor from a unified population (according to the narrative).
• Cholula was built in stages over centuries by multiple cultures.

Similarity: Both required enormous human effort and coordination.

Conclusion

Although one is a biblical account and the other an archaeological reality, the Tower of Babel and the Great Pyramid of Cholula share profound thematic parallels. Both reflect humanity’s desire to reach the divine, preserve cultural identity, and explain origins through monumental construction.

These similarities suggest that across civilizations, humans have consistently expressed spiritual ambition and collective identity through towering structures—whether in myth or in stone.

Mizraim (Hebrew: מִצְרַיִם) is a significant figure in biblical genealogy and ancient Near Eastern tradition. The name appears in the Hebrew Bible and is commonly understood to be the Hebrew term for Egypt. Mizraim is both a person and a symbolic representation of a land and civilization that played a central role in early human history according to biblical narratives.

Future conflicts will be shaped—or even decided—by what happened long before the fighting starts.

Anything not rooted in God cannot survive God’s presence. What God didn’t plant, God won’t sustain. What God didn’t root, God will uproot. Anything that doesn’t come from God eventually returns to nothing. Only what is rooted in the Father survives.

God is present where the heart is undivided.

This means:

• When your loyalty isn’t split

• When your motives aren’t mixed

• When your devotion isn’t diluted

• When your identity isn’t scattered across a dozen false sources

…you become a place where God’s presence rests.

It echoes the idea of being pure in heart — not morally perfect, but single, whole, unmixed.

A unified heart becomes a sanctuary.

You took in something powerful—truth, revelation, or spiritual knowledge—but instead of receiving it in the right measure, you consumed it recklessly. Because of that, you became overwhelmed and distorted by what was meant to be life‑giving.

To you, Vatican dogma. I am not your master. Because you have Drunk, you have become intoxicated 

from the bubbling spring, which I have measured out.

You do not know that it is dissension that I have come to cast upon you.
