Chapter 5
Review The Past

This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord :


“Listen to the terms and conditions of this covenant, and
tell them to the people of Judah
and to those who live in Jerusalem.
Tell them that this is what the Lord says:
Cursed is the man who does not obey this covenant -the
terms I commanded your forefathers when I brought
them out of Egypt,
out of the iron smelting furnace,
I said” Obey me and do everything I command you, and
you will be my people,
and I will be your God.
Then I will fulfill the oath I swore to your forefathers, to
give a land flowing with milk and honey the land you
possess today.
I answered “Amen, Lord”
The Lord said to me:
Proclaim all these words in the towns of Judah and in the
streets of Jerusalem
“Listen to the terms of this covenant and follow them,
From the time I brought your forefathers out of Egypt
until today,
I warned them again and again saying
“Obey me”
But they did not listen or pay attention,
instead they followed the stubbornness of
their evil hearts
So I brought them all the curses of the covenant
I had commanded them to follow but they did not keep.
There is a conspiracy among the people of Judah and
those who live in Jerusalem.
They have returned to the sins of their forefathers,
who refused to listen to my words.
They have followed other Gods to serve them.

Both the house of Israel and the House of Judah has


broken the covenant I made with their forefathers.
Therefore this is what the Lord says.
” I will bring on them a disaster they cannot escape,
although they cry out to me.
I will not listen to them.
The towns of Judah and the people of Jerusalem will go
and cry out to the gods,
to whom they burn incense,
but they will not help them at all
when disaster strikes.
You have as many gods as your towns, oh Judah,
and the altars you have set up to burn incense
to that shameful god Baal
are as many as the streets of Jerusalem. 1
Jeremiah11;1-13

The People of the Covenant


The nation of Israel is the covenanted people of
God. Among the many peoples of the world, God chose
Abraham to be the father of a chosen race, chosen to serve
His purpose of redeeming the world. With them God made
a covenant 2, a contract, that if they worship and obey Him
alone they will be as many as the sands of the sea, and they
will prosper, and be protected and will be the head and not
the tail they will subdue their enemies, and no harm will
befall them. They are a country set apart, a holy nation
where God dwells, however they have to obey the
stipulations of the covenant.3 For the God of heaven to
dwell amongst them they have to be a nation set apart- that
is the meaning of holy- a nation which is unlike their
neighbors- who worship stones and wood, and sacrifice
their children in the fire and many kinds of abominable

2
Philippines I Thee Wed- Review the Past

behavior, the children of Abraham should be a different


nation.
They were taught by God himself to be holy, to
worship only one God, our Father YHWH, who is invisible
and does not live in stones or wood.4 They were taught not
to sacrifice their children to other gods like Baal or
Asherah but worship God Yahweh alone the Maker of
heaven and earth. And for the atonement of their sins
doves and lambs were used as sin offering and animals or
whatever their lands produce became the thanksgiving
offering.5
But the children of Israel- grandsons of Abraham are
a stiff-necked people. After the exodus from Egypt
wherein Moses lead them out of the slavery in Egypt with
many miracles and wonders even crossing the Red Sea on
dry land, these people grumbled and complained. 6 These
people are idolatrous people influenced by the practice of
the country where they came from and the surrounding
countries. They made a golden calf that they worshipped,
even while Moses was still meeting with God, and God
writing the stipulations of the covenant in tablets of stone
which we now know as the 10 commandments.7 Moses
broke the tablets in front of them in exasperation, which
God had to rewrite again. These 10 commandments were
eventually put in the Ark of the Covenant together with the
staff of Moses.
The Ark of the Covenant is the miniature replica of
Gods throne in heaven.8 When God goes down to
commune with Moses and His people this is the throne of
God. God took care and guided the children of Israel from
the time of Moses, and even when they reached the

3
Philippines I Thee Wed- Review the Past

Promised Land until they set up kingdoms. He fought their


battles as long as they obey Him.
God has left instructions for Israel to follow,
everything in written form, blessing and curses were
always recited so everyone knows the stipulations of the
covenant and the curses resulting from disobeying the
covenant.9 It is written in their foreheads, even in the
doorpost so it will not be forgotten and blessings will
follow them. For the Lord knows that the stipulations of
the covenant is in conformity to the universal laws that he
has created, and universal laws has blessing as well as
consequences. The book of Deuteronomy is devoted to
these, and sums up the covenant into 2 just as Jesus did.
That is to “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and
with all your might and your neighbor as yourself.” 11
Together with 10 commandments the Lord has also given
other terms and conditions. Instructions on how sacrifices
were done to even the smallest detail of their existence is
written and guided by God which has become codes that
we live by even today.

The Covenant is Broken


But the nation of Israel continued to stray away
from God who loved them. They love to follow the fad and
fashion and practice of their neighbors and set up poles of
Asherah to worship. They continued to seek other gods,
and they even offered their children to Molech. 12 The 10
tribes of Israel were especially guilty of these which made
them susceptible to evil deeds of corruption, covetousness
and war. And the devil knew who to use in order to
destroy the growing nation of Israel.

Philippines I Thee Wed- Review the Past

During the time of king David, his charming and


handsome son Absalom killed his half-brother for raping
his sister, when he returned to the kingdom after his exile
he started to play politics with 10 tribes of Israel which
eventually led to a people power ousting David from the
kingdom.13 (if you think we are the first to do people
power in Edsa you are wrong, Absalom was the first
politician and the first to encourage people power).
Eventually David regained the kingdom when his son, got
killed as his head got stuck in a tree.

The Northern Kingdom


The rift already started between the 10 tribes of
Israel and the other 2 tribes during the time of King David
When king Solomon became king he was able to unite the
whole nation of Israel and they lived in peace.14 But after
the death of Solomon his son Rehoboam ruled in tyranny
and exacted more taxes from the people leading to
revolt and the 10 tribes formed the northern kingdom
under the leadership of Jehoboam.15 Jehoboam however
became idolatrous and set up Asherah poles and altars to
worship. They became vulnerable then to the invading
Assyrian army. The battle went on between Assyria and
the Northern kingdom for 200 years which ended in the
exile of the Northern kingdom in 722 BCE. The siege
started in the north, eventually sweeping the whole
kingdom.16
What happened to the inhabitants of the Northern
kingdom? From that time on the nation of Israel, the
Northern Kingdom was nowhere to be found, although we
know that King Sargon records 27,290 thousand which he

5
Philippines I Thee Wed- Review the Past

relocated in Tigris and Euphrates17 the total number of


Israelites is still unaccounted for. The book of Isaiah 6: 9-
13 (739 BCE) tells us that God caused a deep blindness
and deafness to these people that they will be for a long
time without understanding and revelation,
“Until the cities lie ruined and without inhabitant,
the houses are left deserted and the fields ruined and
ravaged, until the Lord has sent every one far away and
the land is utterly forsaken. And though a tenth remains in
the land it will again be laid waste. But as the terebinth
and oak leave stumps when they are cut down so the holy
seed will be the stump in the land. 18
It is clear from the above verses that the nation of
Israel was not annihilated but was exiled, each one of
them. If only 27,290 thousand were settled in the Tigris
and Euphrates.

Fig 14. Map showing Tyre and Ezion Geber

Then the most possible route they must have escaped is


by the way of sea possibly via Tyre or Ezion Geber or by
the silk road from Assyria as research by Paul Phleps in
his work on the 12 Tribes of Israel.
The 200 years started immediately after the reign of King
Solomon. King Solomon has built in his lifetime 2 ports
one in Tyre in Lebanon which is located beside the
northern kingdom and one in Ezion- Geber in the Red
Sea19. The book of Zechariah 9.3 describes the riches
attained by Tyre through her port., which says “Tyre has
built herself a stronghold. She has heaped up silver
like dust and gold like the dirt of the street?” Tyre is a
major shipping port of the Phoenicians and the Israelites.
Since the time of King David Tyre was a part of Lebanon
and had good relations with Israel. Lebanon supplied the
cedars for David’s palace and then King Solomon’s’.
According to sources King Hiram of Lebanon from
whom Solomon borrowed his Phoenician men ( Hiram in
tagalong means to borrow) was an Israelite descent his
mother from the tribe of Naphthali and His father from
the tribe of Dan. So that Phoenicians are actually the tribe
of Manashe, Dan and Asher to whom the portion of Sidon
and Tyre was given as an inheritance and dwelt together
with the Canaanites.20 Together they were the great
seafarers and merchants21. They made their expeditions
to the land of Ophir which became the source of the gold
of Tyre22. Tyre was not destroyed until 536- 605 BCE,
122 years after the fall of the Northern Kingdom.
In Isaiah 50:2 God said was my arm too short to
ransom you? Do I lack the strength to rescue you? By
a mere rebuke I dry up the sea. I turn rivers into
7
Philippines I Thee Wed- Review the Past

desert, their fish rot for lack of water and die of


thirst, I cloth the sea with darkness and make cloth
its covering.

From this verse God is saying that He rescued his


people by drying up the sea and cloth the sea with
darkness covering his people. Isaiah 23 also says I
neither have sons and daughters who brought these,
giving us a clue that the waters bore sons and daughters
or the people of Israel in its bosom.
Despite the sins of His people our Father’s arm came
to rescue His beloved. Some scholars of the bible claim
that the Israelites were last seen beyond the Sambatayon
river. To cover the sky in cloth as he described it in
chapter 3 (that He carried Israel in this country in sacks.)
is difficult to comprehend, for to carry 2 million people in
sacks is beyond our understanding. For us humans we
look at sacks as a 2 x 4 feet size bags, but God is not our
size and His cloth is as vast as the whole sky. Furthermore
as humans we look at the sky as a huge atmosphere of
blue with clouds on it, but at God’s vantage point the
covering of the earth is as a thin filament, like a cloth. We
do not see it as a cloth because we are small, just imagine
how an ant small as it is would perceive tears, to it it’s a
tsunami.
So have you ever wondered why Tacloban was named
Tacloban? Could it have initially been Sacloban which has
the same meaning- to cover or put into sacks, sack in
Hebrew is also sack or sako in Hiligaynon, and Samar
means to pluck out in Hebrew., or it may even refer to the
capital of the Northern Kingdom which is Samaria. So that
the name of Samar and Tacloban reveals its history, that

8
Philippines I Thee Wed- Review the Past

they were plucked out and covered in cloth as described in


Isaiah 50:2. Did typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda), came to
remind the people that in Gods’ faithfulness Father
Yahweh hid them in a cloth of clouds and carried them by
a mighty wind to this land of promise hiding them from
the eyes of Satan? As He said in:
Isaiah 51:1
Look to the rock from which you
were cut, to the quarry from which you were hewn.
Look to Abraham your father and to Sarah who gave
you birth.26
Isaiah 27:6-9 says “ In the days to come Jacob will take
root Israel (Northern Kingdom) will bud and blossom and
fill all the world with fruit v.8 by warfare and exile you
contend with her, with his fierce blast he drives her out as
in a day the east wind blows. v.9 by this then will Jacobs
guilt be atoned for and this will be the full fruitage of the
removal of his sin. When He makes all the altar stones to
be like chalk stones crushed to pieces, no Asherah poles
or incense altars will be left standing. 2
The people of Israel meaning the 10 tribes will also bud
and blossom and fill the world with her fruit, this will
happen by warfare and exile that is how God dealt with
them. With his fierce blast he drives her out as in a day the
east wind blows. Clearly God drove them out towards the
east, and by his fierce blast would mean a sudden gust of
wind he drove their fleet towards the east Clearly this
‘east’ He is referring to can only be reached using the
sails of a boat driven by the gust of the easterly winds.
This is the destination that the Phoenicians know as well
as the Israelite merchants, their princes. We have to

9
Philippines I Thee Wed- Review the Past

Fig. 15. Path taken from Ezion-Geber to Red Sea then

Aden through the Indian Ocean to east then Philippines

Remember that the port in Tyre was not destroyed until


605 BCE; the other option is to go through Ezion Geber
that is if they have escaped the Assyrians. But since the
battle occurred in a span of 200 years, probably after
Egypt scattered them. The nation of Israel had enough
time to escape the war. Those who were not able to
escape by boat must have taken the path of the Silk road.
Revelations 12:14 describes: The woman (Israel)
was given the two wings of a great eagle, so that she might
fly to the place prepared for her in the desert, where she
would be taken cared of for a time, times and half a time,
out of the serpents’ reach .28
The Book of Revelations says that they were taken to a
desert. The desert referred to here is the lack of revelation
from God. They have become blind and deaf to God’s water
of revelation. I have often wondered why there are more

10
Philippines I Thee Wed- Review the Past

prophets in America or other parts of the world and almost


none in the Philippines when we are all equally Christians.
Yet if you visit the internet seldom can you hear of a Filipino
with a revelation from God, in fact the prophecies for the
Philippines still comes from prophets in America and India?
Why is America teeming with revelations upon revelations?
Most of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin went to the
Americas while the 10 tribes concentrated in the
Philippines, the tribes cursed to be blind and deaf, and if
ever there would be prophets who come from this country
they are usually Sephardic, whose roots stem from the tribe
of Benjamin and Judah and some Levites. In fact when the
Lord called me He gave the message of Isaiah 58 through my
fathers’ blessing to me which says:
“and you will be like the streams of living
water in a sun scorched land, (desert) 29
which I of course could not yet understand back then
when I was 24. The same desert that He is sending me now
(see chapter 11)
In Isaiah 42: 15-17 God said “I will lay waste the
mountains and the hills and dry up the vegetation; I will
turn rivers into islands and dry up the pools. I will lead the
blind in ways they have not known; along unfamiliar paths I
will guide them. I will turn the darkness into light before
them. And make the rough places smooth. These are the
things I will do; I will not forsake them. But those who trust
in idols who say to images ‘you are our gods, will be
turned back in utter shame. 30

( so those who came by ship were the returnees to the Father


YHWH- the one addressed to in the book of Zechariah to return
to Him. They are are Karaya people of God. )

11

There are several theories on how the Philippine


Islands was formed one is that the Philippines is not part
of mainland China but an archipelago of islands in itself
slowly rising from the ocean floor and even up to now it is
slowly rising31.
If we look at the Hieroglyphics of Egypt’s Queen
Hatshepsut, she got her gold from Queen Ati and King
Parahu or Parehu of Punt Pwene, where the houses are on
stilts revealing a land mass which was still below sea
level.32 This might also be the reason why about 500 years
later Marikudo the Ati chieftain sold the lowlands to the 10
Datus who arrived in the Island of Panay in the Visayas..
Actually even until now we know that Iloilo is below sea
level and much of the area of the city is reclaimed land.

Isaiah 49:14 says:


“But Zion said. The Lord has forsaken me, the Lord has
forgotten me, can a mother forget the baby at her breast
and have compassion on the child has borne? Though she
may forget I will not forget you. See I have engraved you in
the palms of my hand your walls are ever before me. Lift up
your eyes and look around, all your sons gather and come to
you. As surely as I live declares the Lord you will wear them
all as ornaments, you will wear them on like a bride 33.
Surely the Lord has not forgotten us, and has
continued to provide for us he held us in the palms of His
hands, as a result our ancestors knew God for who He is to
them the MAYKAPAL- “kapa” meaning palm of the hand in
Hebrew. Thus MAYKAPAL means Our Father Yahweh the I
AM (ANI YA) who hold us in the palm of His Hands.

The southern kingdom (Judah)


While the northern kingdom of Israel was exiled, the
Kingdom of Judah was preserved until the time when
they were taken captive for 70 years by King
Nebuchadnezzar.

Isaiah 14.25 tells us that God said, “I will crush the


Assyrian in my land on my mountains. He will trample
him down. His yoke will be taken from the people of Israel
and his burden removed from their shoulders.” 34

So in 607 BCE, Assyria and the Northern provinces


fell into the hands of the Medes, while Syria lay open to
be seized by Nabopalazzar (father of Nebuchadnezzar.)
In 605 BCE Nebuchadnezzar succeeded him and smote
the King of Egypt Necho in a battle at Carchemish and

13
Philippines I Thee Wed- Review the Past

Jerusalem was destroyed in a second revolt. Tyre too fell


after a long struggle and Egypt was humbled.35
Nebuchadnezzar was a Chaldean and the prophecy
regarding Judah in Jeremiah 8:10 which says: “Therefore
I will give their wives to other men, and their fields to new
owners. From the least to the greatest all are greedy for
gain, prophets and priest alike all practice deceit” 36, came
to pass. Judah became captive to the Babylonians raping
its women resulting to a mixture of the DNA with the
Chaldeans. Chaldeans are the races that gave rise to the
Indo Europeans like the English, the Romans and the
Germanic race.37 (The reason why Hitler 2500 years later
sought to annihilate the Jews, to purify his race. This is
also the reason why we call America the daughter of
Babylon).
When in 536 BCE Babylon fell to Cyrus king of
Persia,38 the Israelites who were living near the Tigris
and Euphrates were released from the power of the king
of Assyria. Israelites that were in Cush or the Upper Nile
region of Egypt did not go back to Tyre, since for 70
years Tyre was without a harbor. The Phoenicians and
Israelite princes, have been brought low, they were not
able to go back to neither Israel nor Tyre.

Isaiah 23. Describes the destruction of Tyre:


An oracle concerning Tyre, Wail oh ships of
Tarshish! For Tyre is destroyed and left without house or
harbor. From the lands of Cyprus *kittim*, word has come
to them. …... o fortress of the sea, for the sea has spoken. I
have neither been in labor nor given birth. I have neither
reared sons nor brought up daughters. When word comes
to Egypt they will be in anguish at the report from Tyre.

14
Philippines I Thee Wed- Review the Past

Cross over to Tarshish… Who planned this against Tyre?


The bestower of crowns. Whose merchants are princes,
whose traders are renowned in the earth? The Lord
Almighty planned it to bring low the pride of all glory and
to humble all who are renowned in the earth? Till your
land as long as the Nile o daughter of Tar shish, for you no
longer have a harbor The Lord has stretched out his hand
over the sea and made its kingdoms tremble He has given
an order regarding Phoenicia that her fortresses be
destroyed, Up, cross over to Cyprus, At that time Tyre will
be forgotten for 70 years, the span of a king’s life. But at
the end of these 70 years, it will happen to Tyre as in the
song of a prostitute: At the end of seventy years, the Lord
will deal with Tyre. She will return to her hire as a
prostitute and will ply her trade with all the kingdoms on
the face of the earth. Yet her profit and her earnings will
be set apart for the Lord, they will not be stored up or
hoarded. Her profits will go to those who live before the
Lord, for abundant food and fine clothes. 40
Thus Tyre rose again together with her ships and her
merchants princes – the Israelites, but her profit was no
longer hoarded but was given to the servants of the Lord
supplying food in abundance and fine clothes for them,
since they have been devastated by the wars, the money
earned in the trade was used to revive the nation of
Israel.
If Tyre fell 604 BCE, and was able to recover after
70 years in 534 BCE.41 Israel must have recovered its
business again as merchants plying her trade with all the
kingdoms of the earth during this time. This coincides
with the time King Cyrus of Persia came into power and
encouraged the Israelites to return to their own land. Not
all of the Israelites however returned. The length of time

15
Philippines I Thee Wed- Review the Past

of seventy years is enough for the people who were in


exile to forget where they come from and not to come
back, and enough for the people of Israel to take root and
bud in another land to become the daughter of Zion.
Meanwhile the southern kingdom grew and
became a nation again rebuilding its walls and it temples
as Isaiah 11: 10 it says:
“In that day the Root of Jesse will stand as a
banner for the peoples; the nations will rally
to Him, and his place will be glorious. 42

The root of Jesse refers to the Kingdom of Judah,


presently what we know now as Israel, indeed the
Kingdom of Judah stands as a banner for the people. For
the Kingdom of Judah represents nation of Israel as we
know it now, and the 10 tribes representing the
Northern Kingdom or the true ancient Israel became the
lost tribes of Israel.

Finding the Kingdom

Although trickles of Israelites are slowly


discovered and found everywhere and slowly returning
to Israel as we know now, it does not fulfill what was
promised to Abraham that His descendants are as the
sand of the sea. I believe that God is not slack to his
promise despite Israel’s sin and will continue to fulfill
His promise to Abraham, and during these end times He
reveals who are His.

Isaiah 62:2 says: The nations will see your righteousness


and all kings your glory and you will be called by a new
name thatthe mouth of the Lord will bestow.You will be a
crown of splendor in the Lords hand, a royal diadem in the

16
Philippines I Thee Wed- Review the Past

hand of your God.No longer will they call you deserted and
your land desolate. But you will be called Hepzibah and
your land Beulah for the Lord will take delight in you, and
your land will be married. As a young man marries a
maiden so your sons will marry you,as a bridegroom
rejoices over his bride. So will your God rejoice over you.

The nations of the world will see her


righteousness and all the kings your glory. And Israel will
no longer be called Israel. She will be called by a new
name. It can be remembered that the name Israel was
given to Jacob after he wrestled with God until dawn.
This time the name that will be given to Israel will mean,
that God rejoices in her, as the Prophet Hosea says in
Hosea 2.1 Say of your brothers, My people and/ your
sisters my loved one. Whatever this country is its name
should bear the meaning of being loved, a nation that God
delights in.
The above verses state about the land being married
and your sons will marry you. After the Jews had been
exiled in the Iberian Peninsula by the Romans,
Portuguese and Spanish Laws against the Jews became
stricter, they were banished from the Iberian Peninsula
and settled in Spanish colonies eventually reaching the
Philippines. We can see the in the course of our history
the reuniting of the northern tribes of Israel and the
kingdom of Judah happened when the Sephardic Jews
joined their brothers form 28 AD to 19th century.
But I believe that it is not only the Philippines
that houses the 10 tribes as mentioned by the Bnei
Menashi tribe but also Burma, Laos, Vietnam, Thailand,
Malaysia, Indonesia. From the letters of Pontius Pilate to

17
Philippines I Thee Wed- Review the Past

Seneca he describes the Jews population as around


50,00044 but during the feast days, about half a million
Jews would go up to Jerusalem from Egypt, Syria and all
the cities of Asia. If the Philippines are already famous for
its gold, and its processing dates back to 1000 BC the
exact time when Solomon’s men got and processed gold
from Ophir, then Ophir must be Philippines.
The Israelites are known to be rich merchants
even in Pontius Pilate’s time. In fact there is a saying that
says “Egypt can make money out of the Pyramids but the
Jews can make money even with the sands of the sea.”
Our history tells us that it’s the Phoenicians who taught
us the alphabet but little did we know that Phoenicians
are synonymous with Israel’s princes, the men of
Solomon. In the same way that our History books talk
about the Peninsulares but little did we know that
Peninsulares are Portuguese and is synonymous with
Israelites who settled in the Iberian Peninsula.

While pondering how I will be able to connect


the Philippines in the present with Israel in the past I had
a vision of a page of a book in front of me, I immediately
recognized that it is the Bible because it has verses
written on it. And then like a power point presentation
the word Israel was replaced by the name Philippines in
a bigger font from 12 to 14 etched in gold as if going out
of the page. Then it dawned on me that the name Israel
was replaced by Philippines. I ask God what verse and
what book is this in the Bible and He gave me Numbers
8:10 which says:

18
Philippines I Thee Wed- Review the Past

“the whole community of Israel will lay their hands on


the priest.”

this verse guided me that the whole community of Israel


is represented in this country, but this time she acquired
a new name as written in Isaiah which says and

“I will give you a new name which the hand of the Lord will
bestow. “

And again in Hosea chapter 1:10-2:1 says:

‘Yet the Israelites will be like sand on the seashore, which


cannot be measured or counted. In a place where it was
said to them. “You are not my people” they will be called
“the sons of the living God”. The people of Israel and the
people of Judah will be reunited, and they will appoint one
leader and will come up out of the land, for great will be
the day of Jezreel. Say of your brothers “my people” and of
your sisters “my loved one.” Indeed after 28 AD-135 AD
the remaining tribes of Judah, Levi and Benjamin left
Israel, once again where scattered and joined their
brothers in this country.8 Furthermore the persecutions
in Europe during the height of the Spanish/British
Empire sent the Sephardic Jews to Spain’s colonies,
completing the 12 tribes of Jacob.

The Philippines was named after the King of Spain


King Philip.46 The name Philip means lover of horses
from the word Phileo=brotherly love, and hippos
meaning horses47. In the letters of Pontius Pilate to
Seneca of Rome. he referred to the Israelites as a pious
mules48. A mule is an offspring of a male donkey and a
female horse. Thus Philippines could mean as loved

19
Philippines I Thee Wed- Review the Past

horse or loved mule, corresponding to the new name that


Isaiah 62 mentions as the new name that the Lord will
bestow, which means- loved or delighted upon.
Furthermore horse in our language is translated
as KABAYO from the Hebrew word carabaho/karabayo
which means “to tresh as in a wasteland”. The word
kabayo if broken down to each syllable equivalent would
mean, KA- meaning “with”, BA from the word ABBA
meaning to ride as in a saddle, YO- refers to the name of
Yeshua. Thus KABAYO means Yeshua (HESUS) riding in
the back of horse as in a saddle,and carabayo/ carabaho
means we will tresh together , as Yeshua rides on us, the
horse, giving us our prophetic destiny as a country, “ The
TRESHER OF NATIONS” as written in Micah 4:13; Rise
and tresh o Daughter of Zion. A horse who neighs
saying the word “garav” ( meaning tresh) and Keruv(
small light that becomes a conflagration). In short this
horse is snorting/ neighing fire to thresh the nations. (
how did we know this, God showed this to us in a vision
while praying, our seers saw a carcass of a horse lying on
her sides with the shape of the Philippines, then the
Father commanded it to live and rise up. And it did, I
have always thogut that the shape of the Philippines was
the shape of an ant, but I was wrong it’s a horse, the
horse of Yeshua)
Indeed from desolation she has been given the riches
of the nations, the jewel of the sea, the gold of Ophir, the
riches of Punt. A land flowing in abundance of the sea as
promised to Joseph and where the people live in stilts.
Thus sometime during the time of trouble (valley of

20
Philippines I Thee Wed- Review the Past

Achor mentioned in Hosea ) 50 the tribes found their


home.
Loaded in 10 ships the 10 Datus and their princes
reached the island of Panay and traded the land with the
Negritoes we call Ati, descendants of Queen Ati
mentioned in the hieroglyphics. The Negritoes later
settled in the mountains while the Datus remained in the
valley. 3 Datus settled in Panay, Mindoro and Taal
Batangas and the 7 others went to Cebu, Samar, Bicol.
For the 10 datus to have separated from each other
occupying an island each they might have come with
their tribes and princes, thus these may not just be small
boats but big ones that carried them here.
According to a Jesuit priest historian when they
came to the Philippines in the 15century AD, this place
was already inhabited by the Jews and the Muslims. The
empire of Luzon was also referred to as Lequios by
historians. Lequiot in Hebrew means to gather which can
also be the same as the verb lukota in Hiligaynon.
referring not only to the place but also its people.
Lequios is who we are now, the lost tribes, the remnants
of Israel, who were lost even to our own identity.

Walling in the Adulterous wife


The following verses tells us of the beautiful love
story between God our Father Yahweh and His people
Israel and how He has loved her like a husband is to a
wife. This is the marriage covenant God made with us
which begun not only with Abraham but in the Garden of
Eden with Adam and Eve. Like a husband He loves and
protects us if we are faithful to Him. But great is His love

for us that even though we were unfaithful to him, he


remained faithful and took us back to Himself walling us
in so we will not leave him again, lavishing us and loving
us. He led us into a desert so He can speak tenderly to us,
so that we will thirst for Him. O wonderful love the
Father has for us even giving His Son, just so He can take
us up again.
“Say of your brothers my people and
your sisters my loved one
Rebuke your mother, rebuke her,
for she is not my wife, I am not her husband
Let her remove the adulterous look from her face and the
unfaithfulness from between her breast. Otherwise I will strip
her naked and
make her as bare as the day she was born.
I will make her like a desert,
turn her into a parched land,
and slay her with thirst.
I will not show my love to her children
because they are the children of adultery.
Their mother has been unfaithful and
has conceived them in disgrace.
She said I will go after my lovers,
who give me food and my water ,
my wool and my linen, my oil and my drink.
Therefore I will block her path with thorn bushes.
I will wall her in so she cannot find her way
She will chase after her lovers but not catch them.
Then she will say.
I will go back to my husband as at first
for then I was better off than now.
She has not acknowledge that I was the one
who gave her the grain?
the new wine and oil.

Who lavished on her the silver and the gold?


which they used for Baal.
Therefore I will take away the grain when it ripens
and my new wine when it is ready.
I will take back my wool and my linen
intended to cover her nakedness.
So now I will expose her lewdness
before the eyes of her lovers;
no one will take her out of my hands.
I will stop her celebrations her yearly festivals,
her new moons her Sabbath days all her appointed feast.
I will ruin her vine and her fig trees,
which she said were her pay from her lovers.
I will make them a thicket and
wild animals will devour them.
I will punish her for the days
she burned incense to the Baals.
she decked herself with rings and jewelry and went after
her lovers but me she forgot. Declares the Lord’
Therefore I am now going to allure her
I will lead her into a desert an speak tenderly to her.
There I will give her back her vineyards and will make the
valley of Achor a door of hope.
There she will sing as in the days of her youth, as in a day
she came up out of Egypt.
“In that day” declares the Lord
“you will call Me my husband,
you will no longer call Me “my master”.
I will remove the names of the Baals from her lips;
no longer will their names be invoked.
In that day I will make a covenant for them with the beast
of the field and the birds of the air and
the creatures that move along the ground.

Bow and sword in battle I will abolish from the land so that
all may lie down in safety.
I will bethroth you to me forever;
I will bethroth you in righteousness and justice,
in love and compassion.
I will betroth you in faithfulness and
you will acknowledge the Lord.
“ In that day I will respond”, declares the Lord.
“I will respond to the skies and
they will respond to the earth;and the earth will respond to
the grain ,the new wine and the oil and they will respond to
Jezreel.
I will plant her for myself in the land.
I will show my love to the one I called
“Not my loved one” .
I will say to those called not my people ,
“You are my people” and they will say “You are my
God”.50
Hosea 2: 1-22
So our Father walled us in by putting us in islands
so we cannot go after other gods. He placed us into a
desert meaning a place of thirst, thirst after the word of
God; for since that time until now, no prophet has spoken
to us from this nation to open up our eyes as to who we
are, we have become blind to our own identity. We have
become deserts with no fresh water of revelation from the
Lord our God. We don’t even know who we are or where
we came from. Thus we dug our own cisterns and drink
from the cup of others. We drank from the different
doctrines handed down to us, which made us a
hodgepodge of different religions and doctrines, until the
right time came and God made streams in the desert. The

pure water of His revelations He pours on His sons and


daughters that is the Latter rain.
Then while writing this book;
I saw the wings of a great eagle covering me;
then it birth an egg that fell on nest
that is so deep to conceal the egg.
And God said; “that is what you are; the egg
I have concealed in a nest .
In the Hebrew culture to be covered by the wings
is a metaphor of a husband covering his wife with his
TALET ( or shawl) in a loving act of protection.
And just as Jesus once said of Israel “Oh Israel how
I long to cover you under my wings like a hen to her
chicks. But you are not willing.” Once again He is extending
to us that invitation, until we hatch and fly.
