GOOD FIGS AND  BAD FIGS

(Jeremiah. Ch. 24)

          If you turn to Jeremiah, 24th Chapter, the prophet talks about two baskets of figs- VI).  After king Nebuchadnezzar had carried away king Jechoniah, the two baskets were placed before the temple of the Lord; one basket had very good figs, even the figs that are "first ripe"; and the other basket had very "naughty" figs which could not be eaten as they were so bad - (V.2).  The good figs are compared to those who will be acknowledged by the Lord as those of the Judah tribe that were carried captive, whom God had sent of Jerusalem into the land of the Chaldeans for their GOOD - (V.5).  Referring to them, He says: V.6 : "For I will set mine eyes upon them for GOOD, and I will bring them again to this land; and I will build them, and not pull them down; and I will plant them, and not pluck them up" -- (not in the land where they have gone, but I will bring them again and build and plant them, but He does not stipulate WHEN).  V.7:  "And I will give them an heart to know me, that I am the LORD, and they shall be my people, and I will be their God; for they shall return unto me with their whole-heart" -- (not with divided or harlot heart).  Regarding the Evil Figs, the Lord says: V.8: "And as the evil figs, which cannot be eaten, they are so evil; surely thus saith the LORD,  So will I give Zedekiah the (puppet king of Judah, and his princes and the residue of Jerusalem, that remain in this land, and them that dwell in the land of Egypt".  V.9:  "And I will deliver them to be removed into all the kingdoms (taken to different kingdoms) of the EARTH for their hurt, to be a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a curse, in all places whither I shall drive them".  V.10: "And I will send the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, among them, till they be consumed from off the land that I gave unto them and to their fathers".

          Now we will trace the line of the kings of Judah and the kings of the House of David, and from there the kings' line of Zedekiah through their sojourn in Egypt, then the good figs in Babylonian captivity and then the "SEED" of David coming through Nathan's line.  Of course, the sons of Judah were born to rule nations (Gen. 49: 10) and wherever they went, they easily captured the throne and God's all seeing eye never left the Judah tribe in Egypt and Jerusalem under Zedekiah.  When God calls the captive Judah tribe in Babylon as Good Figs, it means that THE ROYAL SEED OF ABRAHAM AND DAVID is hidden in them.  This Seed Royal was in Zerubbabel; and in his father Salathiels' time, the battle for the Throne of David was at its height.  The Good Figs will always have a prophet to guide them, but the bad figs will not have any prophetical guidance.  The destroyed temple is built again by the efforts of Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, as the prophet Haggai announced - (Hag. Ch.2).  Then even though the external glory of the Second Temple of Jerusalem was not like that of Solomon's Temple with all its outward show of gold, silver, brass and find timber, still the glory of the Second Temple was greater because of God's Glory filling it and resting therein as said in Hag. 2: 5-7 & 9: "According to the word that I covenanted with you when ye came out of Egypt, (that is, out of the bondage there, and not in the time of Nebuchadnezzar's destruction of Egypt), so my spirit remaineth among you; fear ye not.  For thus saith the Lord of hosts, Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land.  And I will shake all the nations, and the DESIRE OF ALL NATIONS shall come.  AND I WILL FILL THIS HOUSE WITH GLORY. . . . . . . . . . . . THE GLORY OF THIS LATTER HOUSE SHALL BE GREATER THAN OF THE FORMER, saith the Lord of hosts".  This as you know refers to the time of Jesus Christ coming as a LAMB.  If you turn to Hag. 2:21-23: "Speak unto Zerubbabel, governor of Judah,. . . . . . In that day, saith the Lord of hosts, will I take thee, O Zerubbabel, my servant, the son of Shealtiel. . . . .".  This Zerubbabel is of Nathan's tribe, not in Jechoniah's line; but the Jechoniah line deceived the people who followed Zedekiah (rather this supporters) to usurp the throne of David.  However, the thrones in different countries were given by God to the scattered (captive) tribe of Judah till SHILOH comes, and so the Judah tribe was ruling all the countries of the world for these 2000 years.  Jechoniah named his son as Shealtiel and his son wa named Zerubbabel; but you will find that the Zerubbabel line coming from Jechoniah has 13 generations till Mary or Joseph, whereas Nathan's Zerubbabel line has 21 generations till Mary.

          This ZOROBBABLE means one born in Babylon of Nathan's tribe in line of Zerubbabel, not in Mary's line.  The THRONE ROYAL goes to ONE born out of the bowels of David and not to the ONE born to the VIRGIN without a husband.

          This fact is further strengthened by I Chronicles 3: 17-19:  "And the sons of Jechoniah:  Assir, Salathiel his son (whose son? Son of Hoshama, and Nedabiah.  And the sons of Pedaiah were Zerubbabel and Shemei; . . . . . ".  So the line goes from Jechoniah to Assir; from Assir to Salathiel, then to Pedaiah and then to Zerubbabel.  Let this line be compared with that in Matt. 1: 1-12, which says:  "And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel", and also with that in Lk. 3: 27-31, which says: "the son of Joanna.......... which was the son of Zorobabel, which was the son of Mattatha, which was the son of Nathan, which was the son of David.  We find that even the spellings of the names that are mentioned in I Chron. Ch. 3 are different from those in Matt. Ch. 1 and Luke. Ch. 3.  Whatever may be the outcome of this confusion created by Solomon's line in I Chron. Ch. 3 and Matt. Ch. 1, one fact emerges clearly that Zerubbabel the Governor of Judah was different from the Zerubbabel of the line of Jechoniah in I Chron. Ch. 3, and just to fool the people of Israel so as to grab the Throne of David, Jechoniah named his descendants also as Salathiel and Zerubbabel.  It is also relevant to add here that this Jehocniah's line of I Chron. Ch. 3 further deviates too far from the line of Jechoniah mentioned in Matt. Ch.1.

          This brings us to the questions: "Who then is Jesus?" and "Was he or was He not the Son of David?"  We see that Jesus cannot occupy the throne of David because He did not come in that line of the flesh, of the bowels of David.  Mary the virgin conceived the child Jesus by the Holy Ghost.  When the Angel Gabriel told Mary all God's blessings coming on Jesus, especially the one referring to the Throne of David - (Lk. 1: 31 - 32), she said, "How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?" - (Lk. 1: 34), because she knew that one not born on the flesh of David's line cannot get the throne.   She has a better sense of the Right to the Throne of David than the so-called world-famous Bible Scholars who can be termed only as wise fools, thus fulfilling the scripture in I Cor. 1:25-31.  Through the wisdom of the so-called wise, you cannot find God.  Jesus was not born to any human being, so He cannot be called a Man or Son of Man.  This is correct both humanly and divinely and is truth.  Then why do these wise men still call him as Son of Man and Son of David?  I CHALLENGE ALL THESE WISE DOCTORS OF THE BIBLE.  Why are they blinded from knowing this fact, thus causing Christ to made a mockery by all religions?  You read further on to know this GREAT THUNDER MYSTERY (TRUMP OF GOD).  The promise was to a Zorubabbel coming at a later date when Priest and King will be one and the same and He will be made a SIGNET - which is God's Choice -- (Hagg. 2: 21 - 23).

          Where are the kings of Judah now?  If you turn to the "Throne of God" booklet which was sent all over the world, and study the chart therein containing the Genealogy of the British and other Western Thrones, you will see that the Judah Tribe sprang from the twin children born to Judah through his daughter-in-law Tamar, namely, Pharez and Zerah, and from Nathan's line -- (Luke 3: 33 & 31).  If we study the Bible very carefully and the Pattern of the Tabernacle (diagram given below), you will find that the entrance to the Tabernacle is on the EAST and the Levites were on all sides (Numb. Ch. 3) to prevent plagues from coming into the camp (Numb. 8:19); and these Levites, as we know, had no inheritance on the earth and they totally depended on God; but the leaders should be in the EAST- like Moses and Aaron (Numb. 3: 38), and the Judah tribe too should be in the EAST (Numb. 2:3).  But on the WEST, only Ephraim and Mannasseh (Numb. 2: 18), and in the North, Dan (Numb. 2: 25), and in the South, Rueben (Numb. 2: 10); and Dan and Rueben each had two tribes with them, and on all sides, each had the tribal symbol of the National Emblem, like LION IN EAST, EAGLE IN NORTH, OX IN WEST, AND MAN IN SOUTH.  When they spread out, they spread out in that order.  God told the Jews not to go North, as an evil will break forth out of the North upon all the inhabitants of the land - (Jer. 1:13 - 14), and so all those  who disobeyed and went North suffered a lot as Bad Figs.  See the terrible killings in those countries.  Dan wherever be went, like a serpent trail, named the countries and places with the name DON (DEN), like LONDON, SWEDEN, DEN MARK, so that we can know that the Danites went there.  So everything was happening according to the Map of God showed to Moses and David in vision, and not according to the human thinking of colour, creed and nationality.  If you study the Genealogy of British kings, you will find one striking factor that there is nobody after Mary's husband as kings.  It is said in the record also that the ROYAL THRONE then passes to ZERUBBABEL; and the record shows two lines - one of Solomon and the other of Nathan.  But after Zedekiah born in Solomon's line of Pharez, all rulers in the West sprang up from the children of Zerah's line of Judah tribe (Judah kings); but the tribe of Nathan disappeared in teh eyes of the Western Kings but not from God's eye on this basket of good figs.  All British kings sprang from Zedekiah of Solomon's line which was cursed, and from Zerah, the other son of Judah born to his daughter-in-law Tamar.  For 2000 years, the Bible never mentioned any means of England or United States, but mentions about Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, Rome, Egypt and so on.  India is also mentioned, as it happened that for 2000 years it was a period for Gentiles and the good Jews were lost in humanity.

          See the numerous wars and killings and plunderings and the slavetrade by West.  Because of their might and armaments and weapons, they devastated and wiped out nations.  They destroyed countries and their heritage to establish their own heritage and thus became a proverb among nations.  But, when Nebuchadnezzar came after hearing from God, the Jewish Citadel was smashed and the Gentile period began.

          When Pharoah-necho, king of Egypt came against Judah, Josiah was killed and Jehoahaz was taken captive by Pharoah to Egypt and his brother Eliakim whose name was changed to Jehoiakim by Pharoah became king (II Kings. 23: 31-35).  Then come the king of Babylon to attack Judah.  When they left God, waves of attack came to destroy Judah -- (II Kings. 24: 1-4).  Then Jehoiachin (or Jechoniah or Coniah) son of Jehoiakim was cursed by God to be 'childless', as said earlier.  With that the legal claimants to the throne of David from Solomon's line came to an end.  Then the Babylonian king made Mattaniah, brother of Jechonian's fatner as king, changing his name to Zedemian (II Kings. 24:17).  He was ruling in Jerusalem by revolted (II Kings. 24:20) and the Babylonian king caught him and put out his eyes and killed his two sons (II Kings. 25: 1-7).  So practically there was no heir from King Solomon's line and even Zedekiah was not the son of Jehoiachin, that is Jechoniah and therefore, he should not have been continued on the throne.  Then the daughter of Zedekiah was married to one in the line of Zerah, the other son of Judah, and not in the Royal Line of Pharez.  The Royal Line has no seed even in Zedekiah as his two sons were killed (II Kings. 25:7).  Only the daughter was married to a man in Zerah's line, called Eochaidh (British Royal Record) in Zarah's Line of calcol (Throne of God book) and so King Solomon's line was completely eradicated, except Nathan Line of Parez.  Thus the Nathan's line stand's from Zerubbabel.  After 2000 years, the same Zerubbabel does not come but ONE born in Babylon.  (Zerubbabel) that is, in the East with the culture of the Chaldeans.

          Solomon's line goes to Zerah through the daughter of Zedekiah which is not the seed.  In India, people call it son-in-law Line (MARUMAKANVAZHI) and not (MACKKALVAZHI) son's line which is the Royal Line; so the West claiming that they come in Son of David's line, is falsehood, because actually they belong to king Solomon's line, and Solomon's line was cursed by God, and only the line of the Pharez, Royal son of Judah is called Tents of Judah.  The Zerah Judah Tribe was promised kings till SHILON (SON OF DAVID) comes, that is, till ONE in the House of David comes.  This can happen only when the power and authority of all these kings are removed.  What is the use of a king without power?  It is the same as, what is the use of gun without a licence or power to shoot?  So the Lord speaks through Zechariah: "The Lord also shall save the TENTS OF JUDAH first, (not the palaces and cities and kings of Judah), that the glory of the the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem do not magnify themselves against Judah" -- Good Figs (Zech. 12: 7).

          The Kingdom of Solomon was divied in Rehoboam's time; ten tribes went to the king of Israel and two tribes were with the king in David's line (II Kings. Ch. 12).  So Judah will have a natural intuition through prophets to be always with God's Chosen King and will not put their trust on anhy one except with a prophet declares so.  They have no fear and because the king is God's choice, they lift the king as they get revelation and (fight with one mind as they knew sure one in the Seed of David will become their ETERNAL KING, and so in all events they never let down the SEED.  So, they, for generations, will not leave the place where the King would come.  They would not how to any earthy attractions or fame; but they will rush to their King of the Royal Seed of David, i.e. SHILOH, when they hear the prophet's voice explaining the place of the King's residence which is Zion.  The identification will be; The SEED coming in the line of David as king will be an OVERCOME, which will be brought out clearly in the following pages.

          Now we come to Babylonian Kingdom when they disturbed Judah in Jerusalem (the good figs).  The good Judah is that which came to Babylon and turned toward the EAST and the bad figs are those who went to Egypt and ruled in the Western countries.  Turn to Jeremiah: 2(; 4-9. 

V.4: "Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, unto all that are carried away captives, whom I have caused to be carried away from Jerusalem unto Babylon" -- (The good figs).

V.5: "Build ye houses, and dwell in them, and plant gardens and eat the fruit of them" -- (This means they are vegetarians).  And the Lord further advises them:

V.6: "Take ye wives, beget sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, that they may bear sons and daughters; that ye may be increased there and not diminished"

V.7: "And seek the peace of the city whither I have caused you to be carried away captives, - (no leadership or kingship) - and pray unto the LORD for it; for in the peace thereof shall ye have peace".  The Lord also warns them:

V.8: "For thus saiththe Lord of hosts, the God of Israel.  Let not your prophets and your diviners, that be in the midst of you, deceive you; neither hearken to your dereams which ye cause to be dreamed".

V.9: "For they prophesy falsely unto you in my name; I have not sent them, saith the Lord."

          Regarding those of Judahdwelling in Egypt, the Lord says in Jeremiah 44: 26, "............Behold I have sworn in my great name, saith the Lord, that my name shall no more be named in the mouth of any man of Judah in all the land of Egypt, saying the Lord God liveth" - (They forget the revelation of the Lord God.  In Jeremiah. 29: 16-19, it is mentioned who are the bad figs and what will come upon them.  Now read Amos.9:9 & 10: "For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all nations, like as corn is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth.  All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, which say, the evil shall not overtake nor prevent us" -- This is for the house of Isreal.  As for the house of Judah, those who were carried away to Babylon (the good figs) were asked to marry and multiply and to take wives for their sons and marry their daughters to husbands.  They obeyed God, marrying wives in the places whereto they were driven; they married the people of that land and planted gardens and ate the fruits thereof and they became really vegetarians.

          Let us now study the sin of Judah generally and also why in spite of that, God lifted them to become peoples of the thrones and supporters of the Throne of David.  Malachi. Chapter.2:

V.11: "Judah hath dealt treacherously, and an abomination is committed in Israel and in Jerusahelm; for Judah hath profaned the Holiness of the Lord which he loved, hath married the daughter of a strange god" -- (This means that the Judah tribe rejected the Righteousness of God through the shed blood, but started to be self-righteous).

V.13: "And this have ye done again, covering the alter of the Lord with tears, with weeping, and with crying out, - (confession of sons of self - righteous Christian) - insomuch that he regardeth not the offering any more, or receiveth it with good will at your hand" -- There are other sins, for which they were punished suitably, but after punishing them, whom Jesus came to seek the Lost Tribes of Israel, the Jews, by becoming Christians, started again crying and weeping in their alters and cultivated self-righteousness, whereas teh sacrifice of the Lord should actually be the symbol of Joy of Righteousness of God through the shed blood. (See Abraham rejoiced to see my day).  So the only hope for Judah now is to claim the Right for the HOLINESS OF THE LORD which they once loved and which made them win all the wars and become rulers.  All those who do not understand Jesus in the proper way will ultimately turn self-righteous and lose God and will not obtain ETERNAL LIFE but will have only EVERLASTING (AGE-LASTING) LIFE.

          If we study the priests' class, the Levites, again in Mal. Ch. 2, God says: V.1: "And now O ye priests, this commandment is for you."  V.2: "If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, saith the Lord of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings; Yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart".  V.3: "Behold I will corrupt your 'Seed' (generation) and spread (cow-dung) upon your faces, even the dung of your solemn feasts (cow-dung); and ONE shall take you away WITH it".  Further, read verses 4 to 8.  Then, V.9: "Therefore have I also made you contemptible and base before all the people, according as ye have not kept my ways but have been partial in the law" -- So, they corrupted the covenant of the Levi and caused many to stumble at the law, so the Levites (mostly Brahmins) and (non Christians Hindus) in India came under the curse and put on the cow-dung ashes for sanctification (Holy Water).  When the Jews came to India, they had to encounter all kinds of Hindu religions and one thing they could not totally forego is the burning of the red heifer and using its ash for Water of Separation and Holy Water; but this they could not do in the Ox country, that is, India, as the people in India would not allow the cow to be killed or slaughtered nor to be eaten.  So the Hindus in India and the Jews came to an agreement on using the ash of cow-dung for sanctification, which prevented the cow from being killed; at the same time the ash of its dung can be sued as "Water of Separation".  Even today in Tamil Nadu, the Hindus call this ash as "HOLY WATER" - ("THIRU NEER (water) in Tamil), even though it is only ash.  You cannot search for the true tribes of Judah (Phares Line - House of David via Nathan) and Levi in other places except in the EAST.

          Now we will come to Jeremiah's "Lamentations", clearly telling us where the (Good figs) Judah is, when they destroyed Jerusalem and took them captives to Babylon.
