The excellence of a translation should be judged by the perfect expression of the original words of Eashoa (Jesus) the Messiah. Therefore, in this translation, in order to preserve the full meaning of certain idioms, I used some less than formal wordings in the English language.
This is why this translation may seem somewhat archaic at times, because sometimes there were no equivalent expressions for those idioms of the original Scriptures.
However, I have added the literal wordings in the footnotes, so the reader may contemplate other forms of expressing the same words with different idioms, and in time it may be possible to find new expressions and idioms as the English language evolves.Oct. 9, 2008
Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukah.
Some researchers argue that Jesus wasn't born in winter, that the date of birth, December 25th, is in error, a pagan holiday. However, the important thing is that Jesus was born and he was the prophesied Messiah of the Scriptures. Also, many people do not know that Hanukah is a prophesy about the coming of Jesus.

The Scriptures were not written for the sake of edification of a religious group one day a week. The Scriptures are the moral code for all humanity. They need to be followed if their benefit is to be felt. They apply to everything that happens in the world. It is important, therefore, to have the correct translation so that everyone may be able to interpret the meaning of the Scriptures. This is what this translation is all about.

We are not a Judeo-Christian culture in the sense that the rejection of Jesus the Messiah and the acceptance that Jesus is the Messiah can live together under one religious tent. The whole inter-faith movement is bogus -- as far as faith is concerned; as a political movement, however, this movement unfortunately is now the accepted norm.
We are a Judeo-Christian culture in the sense that Jesus came to the world as a Jew and that the Jewish nation produced the disciples and apostles that preached the Faith of the Messiah throughout the world; that was the purpose of the Nation of Israel.
Today, we must embrace our common heritage in the Faith of Jesus the Messiah. We must clarify to our children and grandchildren the significance of the Judeo-Christian link in the restoration of Apostolic Christianity.

Due to the fact that the sciences of astronomy and mathematics lagged behind during the Greek and Roman Empire days, the miscalculations of the rotation of the planets around the sun led to errors in the calendar. There was specifically a seven or eight year error in setting the start of the Christian Era (AD). It was not only their translations of the Scriptures that were inaccurate. The Astronomy of Mesopotamia that the Chaldeans and the Ashurai pioneered was by far superior to that of the Europeans until the advent of the 17th Century, when ironically it was again the Ashurai scholars of the Universities in Spain that taught the old astronomy to the Europeans and it was that knowledge of the science and the true Scriptures that brought Europe out of the Dark Ages. Therefore, we may be actually celebrating the 2000 Jubilee year of Christianity this year. Happy New Year!

The Sealed Scriptures in the Ancient Aramaic Language
There were two forms of Scriptures, the Sealed and the Unsealed. One was placed in the Ark of the Covenant and the other was given out for the people to read and live by. Eashoa (Jesus) unsealed the original Scriptures and gave them to his disciples to preach to the world. The Ancient Aramaic Scriptures of the Ancient Church of the East has been sealed since the Apostolic Age. Perhaps this is the time for us to unseal it and preach it to the whole world. Read more.

It was necessary for American Christianity to be exposed. The religious leaders that will officiate at Obama's inauguration represent the religious beliefs of the American Church. The separation of the powers of Church and State means that the two entities have separate powers; therefore, the pastors who will pray at the inauguration of Obama will define American Christianity in its present form, and Obama's speech will define the American State in its present ideology.
Jan. 19, 2009
Indeed Pastor Rick Warren did mention the name of Jesus finally at the end in his invocation prayer at the inauguration of President Obama; however, he excluded the Aramaic name of Jesus, Eashoa. He used the names "Jesus" (English), "Yesus" (Greek, Latin), "Isa" (Arabic) and even "Yeshua" (Messianic Jew); but he did not mention the true name of our Lord: Eashoa Msheekha, the name that appears in the Old Testament and the New Testament of the Ancient Aramaic Scriptures.
Moreover, according to Pastor Warren, the New Church of America -- under Obama -- will be the churches of American Christianity, the Mosques of American Islam and the temples of American Judaism, because this is what religious freedom means according to the doctrine of "separation of church and state" and according to the new secular United States of America. The religion of America is no longer Christianity, and as if it never was.
The other pastors that officiated at the inauguration did not even mention the name of Jesus; they all prayed to God and the Father.

Satan attacks Christianity through the Scriptures. The Reformation of the Catholic Church by the Protestants did not deal with the theological matters of the Scriptures, they dealt with the business of the Church, with power and money and its distribution. The Reformation left the mistranslations of the Scriptures alone; the Protestants carried forward the misconceptions about the Jews and the teachings of Eashoa (Jesus) and advanced the same agendas of Anti-Semitism and racism.
Satan tempted Jesus forty days after he was baptized by the Prophet John using verses from the Scriptures, "it is written…." And Eashoa (Jesus) corrected Satan three times with the true interpretation of the Scriptures. In order for you to understand the Scriptures today, you need this translation so you can interpret the Scriptures correctly and not fall prey to the deception of evil men trying to mislead you.

Perhaps it is time to use the correct pronunciation of the names in the Scriptures. These are times of confusion in the world; Christians need to get back to the principles taught by Eashoa Msheekha and the Faith that was preached in His Name by the Apostles. We should all endeavor to pronounce the names in the Scriptures by learning them from this translation. Refer to the footnotes and email me whenever you need help.

Note on Early Christianity and the Origins of the Ancient Aramaic Scriptures.
The New Testament Scriptures were already in use in the Ancient Aramaic language for five hundred years before Christianity became the religion of Europe. The first people to turn to Christianity in Europe were the Romans under Emperor Constantine. The last people to turn to Christianity in Europe were the Vikings in 995. The Bible was not read by the Europeans in their vernacular until the Gutenberg Press was invented in 1440. It was read in Latin and it was translated from the Greek. For two thousand years the truth about the origins of the Bible have been hidden from the Europeans and the Americans. The Reformation began after the Bible was introduced to the Europeans in the 15th Century. That is when the Protestants came up with their own Bibles and interpretations. Now that the US has officially abandoned Christianity as its national religion and elected a former Muslim as President of the United States, the American people can begin to read the true Scriptures translated from the language that Eashoa (Jesus) spoke. It was meant to be like this. People would have never accepted the truth otherwise.

The 20th Century - The American Century
The Century that America Abandoned Jesus Christ and Adopted SecularismIt is an established fact that the American Standard Version was made from the King James Version of the Bible in 1901. The King James Version and all the other versions in the English language have been translated from the falsified Hebrew and Greek Scriptures. Neither of these Scriptures, the Old nor the New, have been translated from the Apostle’s Scriptures. These are facts that cannot be hidden, because they are well-documented and attested to by all the American churches.* The Ancient Aramaic Scriptures are the only ones that have come to us from the Disciples and Apostles of Eashoa (Jesus) the Messiah. Both the New and the Old Testaments were compiled by the Apostle Paul in the Ancient Aramaic language, which is also the Ancient Hebrew language, only dialects vary slightly in pronunciation. Modern Hebrew and Modern Aramaic have evolved to such an extent that they no longer represent the languages of the Scriptures. Only the Ancient Aramaic that was used until the 13th Century was the scribal language of the Scriptures. The authentic Scriptures are, therefore, preserved only in this language.
This statement of facts is necessary now that the US after one hundred and seven years has completely abandoned the Christian faith as a national religion. In the last one hundred years the name of Jesus has been removed from all public school texts and the Lord's Prayer has been outlawed in public schools since the early 1970s. Soon the name of God is going to be removed from all public school books. All these acts of rejection of Christianity in the US would have been more tragic if American Christianity was based on the true teachings of Eashoa (Jesus). The fact that the Bibles of the American churches have been falsified for centuries makes the events of the present national leadership less harmful with respect to the true Christian Faith. In fact, I believe it is the Lord's will that these events took place so the truth can finally emerge, the truth regarding the Apostolic Faith in Eashoa (Jesus) and the authentic Scriptures. It is, therefore, my pleasure to provide the American reader and the English language readers worldwide the opportunity to read a correct translation of the authentic Scriptures.
With blessings of Marran Eashoa Msheekha (Our Lord Jesus the Messiah).

Abandoning Christianity as a National Religion
Now that it is clear that American Christianity has been relegated to just another religion in America, perhaps the American churches will consider the Ancient Aramaic Scriptures as the basis for a reawakening. The translation of millions of words of the Scriptures from the Ancient Aramaic to English has demonstrated that the Scriptures were originally recorded in the Ancient Aramaic language and not in Hebrew, Greek and Latin. By the way, the language of the Hebrew people was the Ancient Aramaic language. Another name for the Ancient Aramaic language is Ancient Hebrew, but this name is not used. When referring to the language of the Old Testament, the Western scholars only refer to the language as Hebrew. This is misleading. Hebrew is a modern language. It has evolved from Ancient Hebrew, but it is not the same language anymore. In fact, the Jewish theologians and scholars refer to the language of the Scriptures as Ashurit, and strictly speaking this is the best designation, as the language of the Scriptures is the same as the language spoken at Nineveh (today's Northern Iraq, where the all Christian Ashurai people are still trying to survive). Ashurit is the language in which Jonah preached to the Men of Nineveh (Matthew 12:39-41) more than three thousand years ago. However, American Bible scholars prefer to call this language "Aramaic". I have called this language the Ancient Aramaic, because just as Hebrew is not the language of the Scriptures, neither is Aramaic the language of the Scriptures. Aramaic has also evolved and is no longer the same language as the language spoken at Nineveh, the capital of Ashur. Therefore, Ashurit is the same as Ancient Aramaic, and Ancient Hebrew is the same as Ancient Aramaic. Both the Old and the New Testaments were recorded in the Ancient Aramaic or the Ancient Hebrew. Now that the US is totally secular (i.e., Christianity has failed in the US,) it is time to put the Greek and Latin versions of the Bibles aside and pick up the authentic Scriptures and look at them in a new spirit. This is what this translation is all about. Have a Happy Easter and a Happy Passover. Eashoa (Jesus) is the same Msheekha (Messiah) that the American Christians and the Jewish peoples yearn to know. Let this translation introduce you to the genuine Scriptures as pronounced by the words of Maran Eashoa Msheekha, (our Lord Jesus Christ.)

Celebrating the Lord's Resurrection
In the Eastern tradition, Easter is only called The Great Feast and is celebrated for seven days. Christmas is called the Small Feast and is celebrated for three days.
Therefore, I wish you a happy holiday on this the greatest of feasts: the Resurrection of the Lord.Apr. 12, 2009
Happy Easter to all the Orthodox Christians around the world.
This is the result of calling the Creator of the Universe by a false name.

In the aftermath of Obama's secular rule, the death of phony Christianity in America will allow genuine Christianity to flourish once again.

The Persecution of American Christianity Must Stop
Two thousand years ago a man came to the world, a man that was prophesied by the Scriptures. Everyone came to know him as Eashoa; however, in the English language this name was changed to Jesus. It is a long story to explain why. It will bore almost everyone reading this; therefore, suffice it to say that the language that Eashoa spoke was not based on Greek and Latin.
Whatever is thought about Eashoa today, whether he was the Messiah or not, is not the point of this essay. This essay is simply to consider very briefly what Eashoa said and did.
Eashoa chose to live in Galilee because that is where his family lived. He was brought up Jewish by his mother and father. He began his mission at the age of thirty. All this has been written about him by even the secular scholars and historians of his day.
Eashoa taught his disciples good things. There has never been anybody who has said that what Eashoa said was in any way objectionable or offensive. The only act of defiance that is ascribed to him is that at one point he upturned the tables of the money-changers in the temple in Jerusalem because they had turned the temple into a marketplace. It upset the high priests, but there were no injuries reported.
Eashoa was crucified by the Romans. The Romans were polytheistic or, in other words, they believed in many gods. The Jewish people ever since have been blamed by the White people as having killed Eashoa. Centuries of persecution culminated in the genocide of millions of Jews in Europe by the so-called Christians.
Christianity today is considered a religion based on mythology. Scientists all over the world speak of Christianity as the religion of mentally retarded individuals. However, despite this prevalent opinion there are many world leaders that claim to be Christian and many nations even observe the Christian traditions in their lifestyles. This may be a passing phenomenon; but it is a persistent reality nevertheless, because there are many practical aspects to Christianity as well; for example, the baptizing of babies after birth and the burial ceremonies for family members when they die.
In summary, Eashoa taught good things and showed people how to be content with their lives. Reading about what Eashoa said and did should not have to lead to something bad; therefore, it should be allowed. Eashoa gave his life willingly to be crucified. He did not lead an uprising against the Romans or the Jewish authorities. None of his disciples took revenge for his death; in fact they gave their lives to preach his words to the world. If Christians in Europe and the US used the Bible to assert their power over other nations, this is not what Eashoa taught and it is not what genuine Christianity is about.
Christians, therefore, should be allowed to attend their churches and raise their children under the teachings of Eashoa. There is really no reason to persecute Christianity in the US.

The Truth about the Ancient Aramaic Language
True Christianity cannot be based on the lie that the Scriptures were originated in Hebrew, Greek and Latin. The Scriptures were originated in the scribal language of the Jewish people at the time of Eashoa (Jesus) the Messiah. Eashoa spoke this language and preached in it too. This language, best known in the West as the Ancient Aramaic language, is no longer spoken or written -- not since the Apostolic Age. This language was intended for the preservation of the Christian Faith. Therefore, the Scriptures must be translated from this language alone in order that the Christian Faith may be based on one source of truth.
If Eashoa (Jesus) had intended for the Scriptures to be preached in the scribal language, He would have recorded the Scriptures in this language or He would have had his Disciples record the Scriptures in this language. Eashoa (Jesus) allowed for the Faith in His Name to be preached in many languages. It then must be assumed that the Ancient Aramaic language was intended only for the preservation of the Scriptures.
This way the Scriptures cannot be changed. There are four hundred and fifty translations of the Scriptures in the English language alone. There are millions of interpretations; but the original Scriptures remain the same. This is the value of my translation; it is the only one translated faithfully from the Ancient Aramaic Scriptures preserved in the original scribal language from which Eashoa (Jesus) read and preached.

Eashoaites: True Followers of Eashoa (Jesus)
Apostolic Christianity should quietly make its comeback in America. Now is the time that the true followers of Eashoa (Jesus) could make their presence felt; the economy is in shambles and there is a lot of cruelty in the world. No other system can deal with human savagery like genuine Christianity can. Perhaps we should call the new followers of Eashoa: "Eashoaites".

A Church Not Built With Hands
I always wondered why the Western churches did not contact me regarding my translation, why the Bible publishers in the US and abroad did not ask to publish my translation, and why the scholars of the Bible did not offer to debate me on behalf of their versions of the Bibles and their esoteric theological doctrines. However, it is clear now why they did not. As the US has elected Obama President and officially abandoned Christianity, why would, for example, the US churches bother debating anyone regarding the authenticity of their religious beliefs?
The Western churches have never lost their power and authority over their versions of Christianity. The laws of every country have protected the churches. In the US especially, any group or even individual is free to open up a church and do business. This is what “the separation of church and state” has also come to mean. In fact, the churches have held on to the business and financial exploitation of Christianity throughout America and most of Europe. There is nothing more to Western Christianity but power and authority anyway. The Catholic Church has even held that they have the power to forgive sin on earth and whatever they decide goes -- even in heaven.
However, the Church that Eashoa (Jesus) built is not “a Church built with hands.” Eashoa (Jesus) said, “My Church will never be relinquished.” He also said, “My Kingdom is not of this world.” Therefore, the Apostolic Faith that so many saints died to uphold throughout the centuries, that Faith is still with us as long as we hold on to the authentic Scriptures.

Jeremiah Revisited
It is strange how the relevance of the Scriptures has been revisited on this generation of Americans that has rejected Eashoa (Jesus) the Messiah. Everything that was prophesied to befall the Jewish nation by the Book of Exodus and the Book of Jeremiah is repeating itself, except now it is the Americans and the White Man that is at the receiving end of these prophesies. Yet ironically, the Western churches do not see these events as having any connection to what was prophesied by the Prophets of the Bible.

The Ancient Aramaic Scriptures are the Original Words of the Lord
This translation from the Ancient Aramaic is to advance the Scriptures, the Scriptures that were not responsible for the Inquisition, the Crusades, the Genocide of the Native Americans, and the Genocide of the Jewish people during WW II.
All these atrocities were justified through the falsification of the Scriptures called the Bibles that were translated from the Greek, Latin and Modern Hebrew.
The original and true Scriptures that were originated in the Ancient Aramaic, the language Jesus spoke, never contained these falsifications.
