Ezekiel 5:10 — Is It Real?

Understanding God’s character is important when reading difficult passages in Scripture. One example is this verse from the Bible:

“Therefore in your midst parents will eat their children, and children will eat their parents. I will punish you and scatter to the winds all who survive.”

— Ezekiel 5:10

Note: Did God truly say this, or was it added later? And where are the original tablets or writings connected to the Book of Ezekiel?

Note: The concept that "God is not bipolar" argues that God does not have unpredictable mood swings, switching between love and wrath, but is consistently good and loving, as portrayed through Jesus.

When people talk about “the real tablets” of Ezekiel, they are usually referring to a few different things—some archaeological, some biblical.

1. The Archaeological “Ezekiel Plates”

There is a collection often referred to as the Ezekiel Plates, consisting of 66 stone tiles inscribed in Hebrew with the text of the Book of Ezekiel.

Discovery: These plates were reportedly found in the late 19th or early 20th century near the traditional tomb of the prophet Ezekiel in Al Kifl, Iraq.

Unique Feature: Unlike most ancient inscriptions that are carved into stone, the letters on these plates are raised.

Significance: Some believe they may represent extremely early biblical texts, possibly dating back hundreds or even thousands of years. However, they have not received the same level of scholarly verification as discoveries like the Dead Sea Scrolls.

Current Location: The plates are said to be housed at the Yad Ben-Zvi Institute in Jerusalem.

2. The “Sticks” in Ezekiel 37

In Ezekiel 37:15–23, God commands Ezekiel to take two “sticks” and write on them.

Meaning of “Stick”: Many scholars understand the Hebrew word ‘êṣ to mean wooden writing tablets, possibly coated with wax, which were commonly used in ancient Babylon.

Symbolism: One tablet represented Judah and the other Joseph. Joining them together symbolized the future reunification of the divided tribes of Israel.

3. The Clay Tablet in Ezekiel 4

In Ezekiel 4:1, Ezekiel is instructed to take a brick—or clay tablet—and draw the siege of Jerusalem on it.

Cultural Context: Clay tablets were a common writing and drawing surface in Babylonian society during Ezekiel’s exile, making this a historically consistent prophetic sign-act.

Taken together, these details show that Ezekiel’s message was delivered through symbolic actions and written media common to his time. The harsh language in Ezekiel 5:10 reflects prophetic judgment imagery, not a loss of God’s character, but a warning rooted in historical judgment and covenant consequences.

Trey Knowles’ Today’s Amazon Avatar:

Imagine yourself in your original, indigenous state—living in the Amazon within a God-ordained realm, before corruption ever entered. You exist as you were created: naked and unashamed, fully dependent on God, lacking nothing.

Then Satan approaches from a different realm, roaming in search of whom he may devour—to steal, kill, and destroy. He tempts you with the things of the world, offering power, comfort, and possession in exchange for dependence on him rather than on God.

God’s intention for us has always been reliance on Him, not on the world or its promises. Indigenous people who remain untouched by modern society live without knowledge of worldly systems, wealth, or corruption. Their lives raise a question for us today:
What does it mean to truly depend on God when you know nothing of the world—and what have we traded away by knowing it so well?

Realm refers to a kingdom or territory ruled by a monarch, and more broadly to a sphere, domain, or scope of activity, influence, interest, or knowledge.

Unseen Realms on Earth encompass both literal, unexplored physical territories and metaphysical, spiritual dimensions. Physically, these realms include the deep sea, uncharted regions of the Amazon, and remote, isolated places such as North Sentinel Island—areas largely untouched by modern civilization and still hidden from common human experience.

Trey Knowles — “Prisoners of War”

We were indigenous people, dependent on God, living among our tribes, rooted in the land, breathing freedom without chains, without bills, without debt, without masters. We worked the soil with our hands and fed our families with what the earth provided. We walked in balance. We carried spirit. We were a holy people. Then one day the enemy came, not with peace but with fire, with steel, with lies, with hunger for power.

They stole our land, they killed our elders, they destroyed our villages, and they turned human beings into property. They beat us until our backs were maps of suffering. They raped our women and shattered our families. They hung us on crosses and trees as warnings. They stripped away our names, our languages, our identities, and forced us to speak their words, worship their systems, live by their rules. 

They treated us like animals, branded us, sold us, caged us, and demanded that we call them “master” while they played God. They did not only steal our bodies — they attacked our minds, poisoned our culture, erased our history, and worked to rip the image of God out of us. Now our children grow up confused, disconnected, searching for themselves in broken systems that were never built for them. 

They learn to love chains they cannot see. They accept the ways of the beast: greed, violence, division, addiction, hatred, and emptiness. We are still bleeding from wounds that never healed. We are still fighting battles that never ended. We walk free in name but bound in spirit. This is not just history — this is warfare. This is generational. This is psychological. This is spiritual. We are survivors, but we are also captives. We are standing, but we are still under occupation. We are breathing, but we are not fully alive. We are a people stolen from ourselves. We are prisoners of war.

A Message to Saudi Arabia — By Trey Knowles

“Let not the worldly life deceive you, and do not let the Deceiver deceive you about Allah.”
— Surah Luqman (31:33)

America’s influence is approaching quietly, like a serpent at the door—subtle, persuasive, and often unseen. So do not follow worldly desires instead of God, and do not follow the footsteps of Satan. He is a clear enemy to you. His path leads toward temptation, excess, and obsession with the material world.

Look at the history of the Western world. Do not be deceived.

This message is not about politics, but about truth—a reminder of what the Qur’an teaches concerning the nature of this world and how believers should move within it.

The Qur’an warns: Do not be deceived or led astray by worldly life.

Worldly life is temporary—beautiful yet fleeting, full of distractions that pull the heart away from its true purpose. The world is not condemned, but believers are not meant to be rooted in it. Muslims are cautioned not to chase its desires, wealth, status, or entertainments. Life on Earth is a test, a chance to build righteousness, strength of character, and nearness to God.

Repeatedly, the Qur’an reminds us that the world deceives—its pleasures fade, and its attractions can blur the clarity of faith. Yet mankind is honored as khalîfah, stewards of the Earth entrusted with justice, balance, and moral responsibility. This position demands vigilance, humility, and discipline.

Ultimately, the Qur’an presents life as a journey. The believer is a traveler—passing through, not settling. True life is in the Hereafter, and success lies in prioritizing faith, obedience, and righteousness over the glitter of the temporary world.

Below are the Qur’anic verses that emphasize this truth:

1. Do not be deceived by worldly life

Surah Luqman (31:33)
“So let not the worldly life deceive you, and do not let the Deceiver deceive you about Allah.”
A clear warning that the world can mislead the heart.

2. Do not follow worldly desires instead of God

Surah Sad (38:26)
“…Do not follow desire, lest it lead you astray from the path of Allah.”

Surah Al-Jathiyah (45:23)
“Have you seen he who takes his own desire as his god…?”
Desires are not meant to rule over a person.

3. The world is a distraction—do not chase it

Surah Al-An’am (6:70)
“Leave those who take this worldly life as play and amusement…”

Surah Al-Hadid (57:20)
Describes worldly life as play, amusement, and temporary enjoyment—never worth sacrificing eternal life for.

4. Do not follow those who live only for the world

Surah Hud (11:15–16)
“Whoever desires the worldly life and its adornments — We fully repay them… but they will have nothing in the Hereafter.”
A reminder that worldly success without faith is ultimately empty.

5. Do not follow the footsteps of Satan

Surah Al-Baqarah (2:168)
“…And do not follow the footsteps of Satan. Indeed, he is a clear enemy to you.”
His path leads to temptation, excess, and worldly obsession.

A Message to Saudi Arabia — By Trey Knowles

When Absent Names Become Absent Character: The Erasure of Identity Through Colonization

Abstract

Throughout history, colonization has not only conquered lands but also dismantled the identities of the people who lived on them. One of the most effective tools in this process was the erasure, alteration, or replacement of indigenous names. Because names carry cultural memory, lineage, social meaning, and spiritual identity, the loss of a name becomes a loss of character—both individual and collective. This paper explores how colonial systems used naming practices to reshape, suppress, and redefine the identities of colonized peoples, and how the absence of ancestral names results in an absence of historical self-understanding.

1. Introduction

Names are more than labels—they are containers of identity. In many societies, names reflect:

• Family lineage

• Cultural belonging

• Spiritual significance

• Geographic origin

• Personal history

Colonization disrupted all these connections. By imposing foreign names on indigenous peoples, colonizers severed ties between the individual and their cultural past. When names became absent or replaced, character itself became absent or redefined through the colonizer’s framework.

2. Names as Identity Markers

Names shape how individuals see themselves and how society perceives them. In traditional cultures, a name often signifies:

• A moral expectation

• A spiritual purpose

• A relationship with ancestors

• A connection to the land

• A communal story

When such a name is removed, the meaning behind a person’s life-story becomes obscured. This is particularly evident in peoples whose identities were reshaped by forced cultural assimilation.

3. The Colonial Strategy: Renaming as Domination

Colonization frequently involved systematic renaming:

3.1 Enslaved Africans

Enslaved individuals were stripped of their African names and given European names. This served several purposes:

• To break their connection to African heritage

• To deny their humanity and treat them as property

• To impose a new identity aligned with colonial dominance

The absence of original names created generational identity loss that continues today among African diaspora communities.

3.2 Indigenous Peoples

Across the Americas, Africa, Australia, and Asia:

• Traditional names were replaced with European Christian names

• Tribal identities were erased

• Geographic names of sacred lands were overwritten

The colonial assumption was that native identities were inferior and needed to be “civilized.”

3.3 Religious Colonization

Missionaries often renamed converts:

• Erasing native religious identity

• Replacing it with European religious identity

• Creating dependence on colonial-approved norms

This changed not only personal identity but also spiritual character.

4. The Absence of Names as Absence of Character

When a name is removed, several aspects of character become compromised:

4.1 Loss of Self-Definition

Without ancestral names:

• Lineage becomes unclear

• Personal roles within the community become ambiguous

• The individual becomes disconnected from inherited values

4.2 Loss of Historical Memory

Colonized peoples often cannot trace ancestry past a few generations because renamed records created breaks in lineage.

4.3 Psychological Fragmentation

The absence of original names contributes to:

• Identity confusion

• Cultural disorientation

• Feelings of inferiority

• Internalized colonial worldviews

The individual becomes a fragment—someone shaped by the colonizer’s narrative rather than their own heritage.

5. Renaming as the Construction of a New Colonial Character

When original names are removed, colonizers replace them with names that:

• Reflect the colonizer’s culture

• Reinforce social hierarchy

• Promote assimilation

• Reassign identity based on colonial expectations

The result is a “colonial character,” an identity constructed through systems of domination rather than through cultural continuity.

Examples include:

• African Americans named after slave owners

• Indigenous children in boarding schools renamed after Christian saints

• Colonized subjects required to adopt European surnames for legal recognition

This was not accidental—it was a systemic re-engineering of identity.

6. Recovering Names After Colonization

Today, many communities attempt to reclaim lost names:

• Reviving indigenous naming ceremonies

• Re-learning ancestral languages

• Replacing colonial surnames with traditional ones

• Correcting place names that were overwritten

This restoration is not merely symbolic—it is a reclamation of character, history, and dignity.

7. Conclusion

Colonization did not simply conquer land—it conquered identity. By erasing names, colonizers removed the cultural, spiritual, and psychological foundations of the people they dominated. When names are absent, character becomes absent. When ancestral names return, identity begins to heal.

A Reflection on Faith and Hypocrisy:

A judge has ordered the Trump administration to fully fund SNAP benefits to ensure that American citizens are fed. Yet, the self-professed Christian Trump administration continues to appeal to the Supreme Court in an effort to keep these vital payments frozen.

What kind of Christian actions are these?

Trey Knowles urges people to reflect on this deeply. Those who claim to follow Christ but stand behind such policies reveal a troubling contradiction. They profess Jesus with their lips, yet their hearts and spirits seem far removed from God. Their faith appears hollow—words without the substance of compassion or justice.

The Qur’an also speaks about this kind of hypocrisy. In Surah Al-Baqarah (2:19), it describes:

“Or [it is] like a rainstorm from the sky, within which is darkness, thunder, and lightning. They put their fingers in their ears against the thunderclaps in dread of death. But Allah is encompassing of the disbelievers.”

This parable illustrates the condition of hypocrites—those who live in fear and confusion, unable to embrace divine truth.

The storm symbolizes the turmoil within their souls.

The darkness reflects their doubt and moral blindness.

The thunder represents their fear when confronted with truth.

The lightning is that brief flash of understanding they cannot hold onto.

Their fingers in their ears signify denial—a refusal to truly hear or follow divine guidance.

Ultimately, Allah’s encompassing presence reminds us that no hypocrisy is hidden. He knows what lies in every heart.

This verse follows others describing those who find light but lose it again—people who move forward only when faith feels easy and retreat when challenged. It serves as a timeless reminder: true belief is measured not by words, but by deeds rooted in compassion, humility, and justice.

Stage – Character – Script

William Shakespeare once said, “All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women are merely players.”

CHARACTER – The mental and moral qualities that define who a person truly is.

STAGE – The platform of life where people act out their beliefs, choices, and identities.

SCRIPT (PLAY) – The written plan or story that guides the actions and words of each character, revealing what role they are truly playing.

In today’s world, this stage is not a theater—it is reality itself. Every nation, every people, and every individual takes a role, knowingly or unknowingly, in a greater script of truth and deception.

The House of Jacob—the true people of God—has been imprisoned and forgotten, their identity hidden from the eyes of the world. Meanwhile, others have taken their place upon the stage. The Khazars pretend to be the descendants of Jacob. They have stolen the scripts and now perform the parts as if the story belongs to them.

Trey Knowles wants you to think about the Beever’s character.

What does the beever do? The beever works tirelessly, building dams and controlling the flow of water to suit its own design. Likewise, the Khazars act like bevers—working constantly to block and redirect the natural flow of truth. They construct barriers to control knowledge, faith, and history, shaping the world’s perception to fit their script.

But every dam the beever builds can only hold back the water for so long. The living water of truth will always find a way to break through.

"Very Important Book"

Who is Esau-Edom

 In the ancient times and land of the Bible, over 3700 years ago, Rebekah, the wife of the patriarch Issac, was informed by God that she would give birth to twins whose fate would be as diverse as their character. The birth of these twins, Esau and Jacob, and their ensuing destinies, would have the most profound impact on future events in the world. 

This analysis of the history and prophesy of Esau and his descendants will unveil many of the problems in this world, and will bring a new perspective on wars and conflicts, Zionism, political conspiracies, anti-Semitism, economic problems, and the Jewish issue.

 This material will also explain why one group of people have made concerted efforts for the establishment of hate laws, world government, abortions, crime, interracial marriages, wars, deindustrialization, and slavery. The ancient and pronounced struggle that prevailed between Esau and Jacob still exists today and is causing the world to be turned upside down. The question of, “Who is Esau-Edom,” undoubtedly involves the most stupendous drama ever enacted in the annals of mankind. That drama is presented here to help us better understand God’s plans for man here on earth.

Who is Esau Edom by Bruce Wayne

At least 218 people have been killed and more than 6,000 displaced after a spate of devastating attacks on mostly Christian villages in Benue State, a territory in the Middle Belt region of northern Nigeria. Islamic Fulani militants are suspected to be behind all six of the attacks, which targeted men, women and children.

The attacks happened between June 8 and June 14, with the deadliest on June 13 0f 2025, when a displacement camp numbering 400 people in Yelewata was attacked. The militants were first resisted by the military, only for soldiers to retreat to a market area where IDPs were taking refuge in storage facilities.

"Join with us to pray that God Himself should be our defender and sustain us and keep us."

Pastor Barnabas, Nigerian believer

Shouting "Allahu Akbar" ("God is greater"), militants burned the buildings and attacked people with guns and machetes. Some 200 people were killed and five injured. Earlier that day, six civilians and three soldiers were killed in separate incidents.

"Open Doors condemns in the strongest terms possible the attacks in Benue state," says Jo Newhouse, Open Doors' spokesperson for our work in sub-Saharan Africa. "For this pattern of attack on mostly Christian villages to continue without restraint is totally unacceptable. Christians in the Middle Belt of Nigeria need to know their government is willing to do what is needed to secure their safety of all her citizens, regardless of their ethnicity or religion."

The first of this latest surge in attacks occurred in the village of Udei, when attackers shot and killed two farmers and injured another as the victims worked on their field. On June 11, two women were killed as they worked on their land near the village of Tse Ivokor. The next day, Amos Uorayev, an IDP and Protection Volunteer with Foundation for Justice Development and Peace, set out with four other youths to recover bodies, only to be ambushed and killed.

Last Sunday, thousands gathered on the streets of Makurdi—the capital of Benue State—to protest the killings, with police firing teargas to disperse them. "Listen to us, we are tired, please stop Benue killings!" said a young woman at the protest.

State under siege by 'terrorists'

Governor Hyacinth Alia of Benue State said the state is under siege by "terrorists." In a recent interview, he explained further: "Of late, what we experience and what we see is more appalling. It is much stronger, way beyond farmer-herder crisis. We're being attacked by bandits and terrorists. The level of what we have experienced in the last two months, it's so alarming."

The State House of Assembly have said that Governor Alia, his deputy and the 32 lawmakers had let the people down. On Wednesday, Nigerian President Bola Tinubu visited Benue State and set up a committee to help restore sustainable peace to the region. "Let's fashion out a framework for lasting peace," he said at a town hall meeting. "I am ready to invest in that peace. I assure you, we will find peace. We will convert this tragedy into prosperity."

Meanwhile, the United Nations have condemned the attacks and called for a comprehensive investigation into the incidents.

"Open Doors joins the UN in calling for immediate action and a comprehensive investigation," Newhouse says. "We also call upon the government of Nigeria to take immediate action to provide protection, by taking robust action to stop violent militant attacks. We call for justice, which includes the fair prosecution of those responsible. And lastly, we call for restoration by providing restitution, rehabilitation and compensation for survivors and communities.

"The international community should do all in its power to encourage urgency and transparency from the Nigerian government in action to ensure they achieve these goals."

What is behind the violence?

The Middle Belt region is part of northern Nigeria, a melting pot of ethno-religious groups that have long co-existed, and it's where Christianity's northern presence is centered.

The Fulani, a nomadic people group, are increasingly migrating southward into Middle Belt states. It's not a new migration route, but due to climate change, resources are becoming scarcer and competition more intense. Not all Fulani are militants, but an Islamist element has emerged, with targeted violence increasingly common—and Christians are among those in the firing line.

             Question? Do They Match The Character of Jesus Christ?

Matthew 7

True and False Prophets

15 “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. 16 By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17 Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.

True and False Disciples

21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ 23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’

The Wise and Foolish Builders

24 “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. 26 But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. 27 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.”

28 When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at his teaching, 29 because he taught as one who had authority, and not as their teachers of the law.

Stimulus by Trey Knowles:

A stimulus is anything that can trigger a physical or behavioral change. The plural of stimulus is stimuli. Stimuli can be external or internal.

Note: Romans 8:6 It is written. The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace.

Stimulus can be used as a weapon through sorcery, which the Principalities of the world used to control people's fate and behavior to create a schizophrenic environment. Everyone who does not live in obedience to God is under the influence of a stimulus-type world. Which is controlled by darkness. False belief of living.

Religion, Ideology, Television, the Internet, and social media are the tools to influence and control the desires of the people. This Sorcery generally refers to the practice of using supernatural powers to influence the natural world. These sorcery tools can be associated with both good and evil intentions.

One of the Sorcery tricks used by the United States is to influence the world to have the power of liberty of self, through the love of money, greed, and Guns. People's labor is in vain. The enemy is setting the people up for self-destruction. Instead of the people depending on God, they are chasing things that are the opposite of God. The world has no idea or understanding of what is going on.

What empowers people to get tattoos all over their bodies? Don't they know that they belong to God, so why not do what is pleasing to God?

What empowers men to sleep with men? Dont they know that this is a disgrace to God?

What empowers people to do the opposite of God's will? Where does this Stimulus influence come from?

A stimulus is anything that can trigger a physical or behavioral change, and its influence can be profound, affecting everything from our immediate reactions to our long-term behavior patterns. Stimuli can be external, like a sound or a visual cue, or internal, like a bodily sensation. The impact of a stimulus depends on various factors, including its intensity, duration, and the context in which it occurs.

Here's a more detailed look at how stimuli influence behavior:

1. Stimulus Control:

Stimulus control refers to the phenomenon where a behavior is more likely to occur in the presence of a specific stimulus (or stimuli).

For example, the presence of a stop sign controls a driver's behavior to stop the vehicle.

Similarly, a person might behave differently around a romantic interest compared to how they behave around a boss, demonstrating stimulus control by social context.

Faulty stimulus control can also develop, leading to maladaptive behaviors, which can be addressed through interventions like behavior analysis therapy from Adina ABA.

2. Influence on Perception and Learning:

Intensity:

Stimulus intensity can affect response speed and accuracy. For instance, a brighter light might be detected faster than a dimmer one.

Duration:

The length of time a stimulus is present can also be critical. In olfaction, the duration of an odor stimulus influences how it is perceived.

Complexity:

Stimulus complexity can influence learning. More complex visual stimuli can sometimes lead to more effective learning, as shown in studies using the Rutgers Acquired Equivalence Test (RAET) from ScienceDirect.com.

Context:

The context in which a stimulus is presented can also affect how it is interpreted and how we respond to it.

3. Stimulus Motives:

Stimulus motives are innate drives that prompt exploration and interaction with the environment.

These motives are not driven by basic needs like hunger or thirst but by the desire for stimulation and information.

Examples include a baby's curiosity about new objects or a person's interest in novel experiences.

4. Social Influence:

Social interactions can be seen as a form of stimulus control.

Behaviors like conformity, obedience, and social facilitation can be understood as responses to social stimuli.

For example, individuals may change their behavior to align with group norms, demonstrating stimulus control by social pressure.

In summary, stimuli play a crucial role in shaping our behavior, perception, and learning. Understanding how stimuli influence us is essential for understanding human behavior in various contexts, from simple reflexes to complex social interactions.
