MAN AND BEAST

Rev. Bertrand L. Comparet

   It has been our custom to frequently review current events in detail, because these show the fulfillment of Bible prophecies in our day. However, in covering the subject I now want to discuss, I shall not have much occasion to list these events in detail, and this for a defin­ite reason. There are times when it is not so important to count every bead on the string, as it is to see whether they are all strung on the same string: when you learn that, you will know where to look for the next bead. My pur­pose is to show the existence of certain definite principles, which govern the events which we see happening, as these principles have governed them for thousands of years.

   For ages, it was well understood by everyone that various nations and races had certain characteristics, which usually would be demonstrated in the actions of these peoples. National and racial policies and conduct dev­eloped out of national and racial character, there were, of course, the rare exceptions; and these, a certain type of mind seizes upon as proof that there was no general rule. But to the contrary, "The exception merely proves the rule." Similarly, we can note that among crows, one bird in every 38 million is white an albino: but this only emphasizes the rule that all of the other 38 million crows are black. Therefore, reasonably consistent conduct can be identified as the rule, notwithstanding an occasional exception which sur­prises us when we find it.

   Among the ancients, nobody pretended to be ignorant of the characterist­ics of the Babylonians, the Egyptians, the Assyrians, or the Romans, or what they were likely to do in order to execute their purposes. Roman military ability in war and harshness in rule over conquered peoples were well under­stood, and nobody was surprised to meet them. The extreme ferocity and cru­elty of the Assyrians was known to all. Centuries of history demonstrated a consistency in these characteristics which only a fool could ignore.

   In our own times, everyone understood that the Japanese were a warlike people, and had been for two thousand years; therefore, only the ignorant or the stupid were surprised to learn that Japan wanted to conquer many other nations. (However, we had to learn by terrible, first hand experience that the Japanese also had, the Asiatic characteristics of treachery and senseless cruelty for its own‑sake. This cruelty was not just typically Japanese: It was typically Asiatic, for we see the same traits displayed by the Red Chin­ese in their treatment of the people of Tibet, as well as their cruelty to our soldiers whom they captured.)

   During both the First and Second World Wars, those strange, alien people who are so busily brain‑washing us today to suit their own purposes, then propagandized us into believing many hideous lies about the Germans; and from these lies, we were expected to believe that the Germans were so inher­ently wicked that they were about to invade Beverly Hills or Las Vegas. Then they taught us that inborn, racial characteristics would be manifested in conduct whenever the situation called for it. But now this alien Minority Group teaches us (by corrupting most of our schools, our newspapers, our news commentators, even most of our churches) that there are no longer any racial characteristics or tendencies, no fixed, long‑range national purposes: in short, that all people in the world, white, black, yellow or brown, civilized or savage, are exactly alike, as interchangeable as Ford parts. They have spent many millions of dollars on a high pressure propaganda campaign, de­signed to blind us to the racial and national characteristics and purposes which are molding the course of history today, as they have molded history throughout all time. (It might be well to ask ourselves, "What makes this worth so much money to them? Just how are they planning to get back this enormous Investment?")

   We can get a better perspective on present day affairs if we view them as a continuation of thousands of years of uninterrupted history: and if we look not only for what happened, but also why it happened. Nothing important is a true accident: for every occurrence there is a cause. History is usu­ally written as merely a list of effects: that is why we learn so few lessons from it. We will never really understand history until we list the causes also.

   Past history, current events, and the coming events of the future, all consist of the actions of people. Whether their actions are good or bad, people do what they do because they are what they are: the kind of people who do good or bad things. Conduct is the product of character. The man who is kind and trustworthy by nature doesn't become a Jack‑the‑Ripper or a kidnapper of children: his own nature prevents it; and the man who is by nature cruel or dishonest will, sooner or later, act like what he is. And, since nations and races are just great numbers of individual people, they will display those traits which are characteristic of most of their people.

   Therefore, if we can learn something about what kinds of people there are, this may help us to understand their actions, even to learn what to expect from them in the future.

   For their own purposes, men make various classifications of things and of people: but usually, the conclusion they wish to reach dictates the classi­fication which will beat support it. Wishful thinking vitiates the result. On the other hand, God, who views all eternity with a single glance, has His own classifications, based upon the eternal realities. For this, as for all other truths revealed to man, we must look to the Bible. There, we will find that God has classified several different kinds of beings, all of whom we lump to­gether indiscriminately, under the one term "men": but God distinguishes be­tween them by using distinctive names for the different kinds of beings. Let's examine them, and see if the different words used have any significance as to the kind of people they denote, the level of character and spiritual understan­ding to be found in the different kinds of beings thus identified by their different names.

   Several different Hebrew words have all been indiscriminately translated­ "man" or "men" in the King James Version of the Bible, although some very important differences of meaning show clearly on the face of these words.

   First, let us consider the word which denotes our White Race. The Hebrew word "AWDAWM "‑‑‑called "Adam" in your Bible ‑‑‑is from a root word meaning to be a ruddy complexion, to show blood in the face"‑‑‑something obviously not applicable to Negroes or Mongolian, but only to the White Race. When used to de­note the first White man Adam, the Hebrew always says "THE Awdawm" ', when‑‑used of his descendants the Hebrew just says "Awdawm."  But your King James Version ­translates it "man."

    Another word used in contrast to "Awdawm" is "ENOSH".  It is always used in a derogatory sense. Its root meaning is "mortal"‑‑, and implies weakness,

physically or morally, ‑wretchedness. It is applied to non-Adamic races, which are all pre-Adamic. It should be noted that the pre-Adamic races are not limited geographically to just certain parts of the earth, but some of them are found mingled among the Adamites.

   A third Hebrew word translated "man" is "Ish" (Eesh). Literally, it means "a male person" a husband. It is used for mankind and can be applied to either an Adamite or a pre‑Adamite.  The feminine form is Isha (ees-haws) the plural of which is "naw-sheem".     This is so similar to the plural of "enosh"---or "Anashim" ‑‑that they have often been confused, lead­ing to mistakes in translation.

   There are three other, closely related words, "Gheh-ber" "gheb‑ar"  and "ghib-bawr"  which are all derived from a root meaning "to be strong, and are usually translated "might man" or "warrior".  These last three can cause confusion, so they need not concern us further.

   Now, let us note a few examples of the use of these words in the Bible In place of the English word "man", I will use the Hebrew word used in the original. Ezekiel 34:31---34:31‑‑‑"And ye, My flock, the flock of My pasture, are AWDAWM, and I am your God saith the Lord God" Psalm 115:16, "The heavens, even the heavens, are the Lord's; but the earth hath He given to the children of AWDAWM." But note how God uses AWDAWM and ENOSH in contrast: take Psalm 100:3, "Thou turnest ENOSH, to destruction; and sayest, 'Return, ye children of AWDAWM." While destruction is visited upon the pre‑Adamite ENOSH for their resistant wickedness, God leads the children of AWDAWM back to Himself in repentance. He distinguishes between ADWAWM and ENOSH in many places, for example Psalm 8:4 "This is Enosh are thou not mindful of him? And son of  AWDAWM, that thou visiteth him?  Note that while God is mindful of what the Enosh do, it was the sons of AWDAWM that God visited when Jesus Christ came to earth.  Both racial groups must be disciplined, but the distinction is kept

even there: Isaiah 2:11 says, "The lofty looks of AWDAWM shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of ENOSH shall be bowed down, and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day." In II Samuel 7:14 we read, "I will be his Father, and he shall be My son, If he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of Enosh and with stripes of the children of AWDAWM." If these were not two distinct races, there would be no point in using the different words.

    The Enosh were wicked, and are so spoken of Deuteronomy 13:13 warns that "Certain Enosh, the children of Belial, are gone out from among you, and have withdrawn the inhabitants of their city, saying, 'Let us go and worship their gods, which ye have not known.'" When they gain power, they are brutal oppressors; so Psalm 10:17‑18 says, "Lord, Thou hast heard the desire of the humble: Thou wilt prepare their heart, that wilt cause Thine ear to hear to judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the ENOSH of earth may no more suppress." The ENOSH have no spiritual understanding: that is the reason for their continual wickedness. Proverbs 28:5 says, "Evil ENOSH understands not judgment: but they that seek the Lord understand all things." This distinction is still in effect, today: for Daniel 12:10, speaking of the Time of the End which is our own time says, "None of the wicked shall understand; but the Wise shall understand."

    But this is not all. Some races God classifies as animals. Their nat­ions are symbolized as beasts in numerous prophecies. Do you say that this isn't what you have been taught to believe? Then let's look into this a bit, and see what the Bible says about it. For example, when Jonah finally went to Nineveh with his prophecy that God intended to destroy the city for its people's wickedness, they believed him. This is not as surprising as it may seem: for the people of Nineveh worshipped Dagon, the fish god. Since they had heard that a great fish had delivered Jonah on the shore, they thought he must be a prophet sent from Dagon, and they were ready, to believe him.    The 3rd. chapter of Jonah says that the king was worried, And he caused it to be proclaimed and published through Nineveh by decree of the king and his nobles, saying, 'Let NEITHER MAN NOR BEAST, herd nor flock, taste anything: let them not feed, nor drink water,  But LET MAN AND BEAST BE COVERED WITH SACKCLOTH, AND CRY MIGHTILY UNTO GOD: YEA, LET THEM TURN EVERY ONE FROM HIS EVIL WAY, and from the violence that is in their hi‑minds.' * * And God saw THEIR works, that THEY TURNED FROM THEIR EVIL WAY, and God repented of the calamity that He said that He would do to them, and He did it not." Now what kind of "BEASTS" wore these, who put on sack cloth, cried to God, and turned from their evil way? It says that this was the command for "Man and BEAST" and that they did so. Is your dog that well trained? Then who was the Bible calling "Beasts?"

   Let's look into this a bit further. In the 9th chapter of Genesis, God promises Noah and his family protection; in the 5th verse, God says, "And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the HAND of every BEAST will I require it, and at the hand of man;" These "BEASTS" have hands, like a man but there were no monkeys in that region, so these beasts with hands must have been men. Again, in Exodus 19:12‑13, when the people of Israel were gathered at the foot of Mt. Sinai while Moses climbed the mount­ain to receive the Ten Commandments from God ' God warned him, "And thou shalt set bounds unto the people round about, saying, 'Take heed to yourselves, that ye go not up into the mount, or touch the border of it: whosoever touch­eth the mount shall surely be put to death." There shall not a HAND TOUCH IT, but he shall surely be stoned or shot through; WHETHER IT BE BEAST OR MAN, it shall not live...” Again, we find that, whether it be beast or man, it must not touch the mountain with a hand.

   The second chapter of Genesis tells us that God Is looking for a suitable wife for Adam, and brings in review before him what your King James ver­sion calls "every BEAST OF THE FIELD" to see if a good wife for Adam could be found among them. Do you really think that an all wise God had to carefully look over a female scorpion, a female toad, a female giraffe and a female elephant, to decide whether one of these would be a suitable wife for Adam? Of course not and Moses didn't write any such foolishness when he wrote the Book of Genesis. This is purely the work of the translators. In the original Hebrew, the account makes good sense, and tells us much about the other races.

    There are two closely‑related Hebrew words used here ‑‑‑KHAH‑EE and KHAW‑YAW ‑‑‑each of which means "a living creature": the meaning is far too broad to be translated merely "beast" or "animal", for it includes all living creatures, from microbes to men. Where the King James Version says "beast of the field', the word is always either KHAH‑EE or KHAW‑YAW; so a correct trans­lation would be "THE LIVING BEINGS IN THE COUNTRY." That these "living beings" include men is clear from the same word being applied to Adam. You have read Genesis 2:7. "And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and brea­thed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul." In the Hebrew it reads, "Then YHWH God formed THE AWDAWM out of dust from the ground, and breathed in his nostrils breath of life; and THE AWDAWM became NEPHESH KHAW‑YAW" ("a breathing creature having life"). So "the beast of the field, the KHAW YAW of the field"‑‑‑or more correctly "the living beings in the countryside‑"‑‑actually included the pre‑Adamic races.

    Now Genesis 2:18‑20 makes sense: God saw that Adam needed a wife; and, not condemning anybody‑‑without a fair chance to make good, God carefully looked over the pre-Adamic races (African and Asiatic)  to see if one of them, could be found Adam's wife and the mother of the new race; but He couldn't  find one. In the Hebrew, this reads thus: "And YAHWEH God said, 'Not good for THE Awdawm to be alone... I shall make him an helper‑‑‑AS HIS COUNTERPART.' And YAHWEH God formed from the ground every living being of the fields, and every fowl of the heavens, and bringeth in unto THE Awdawm to see what he doth call it; and whatever THE Awdawm calleth a NEPHESH KHAW-YAH, (a breathing creature having life), that is its name.  And THE Aw­dawm calleth names to all the cattle, and to fowl of the heavens, and to every living being of the fields; and to him hath not been found an helper AS

HIS COUNTERPART. That is, God recognized that Adam's wife must be HIS COUNTERPART, ­ having the same qualities of spiritual understanding, to be able to transmit to her descendants the same qualities for which God specially placed Adam in the world; but God could not find even one out of these pre‑Adamic peoples who was Adam's COUNTERPART, having these necessary qualities.

    Before someone gets the idea that I hate other races, let's look at this thing a little closer. The Black Race has been on earth at least 40,000 years, for identifiable Negroid skeletons have been discovered which can be scientifically dated as that old. Yet in all those 40,000 years there has never been a Negro civilization. Yes, I know that a few Negro tribal chiefs have conquered other tribes and built themselves up a larger kingdom; but it takes more than the brutal tyranny of a successful war chief to make a civil­ization; and that was all they had. Don't speak of Egypt: Egypt was in Africa, but never Negroid. The beautiful portrait sculptures left by the ancient Egyptians show them to have been clearly a pure white people; in the days of Egypt's greatness, any Negro found north of the first cataract of the Nile River was summarily killed on sight.

    We don't hate Negroes: we went them to be well fed, well clothed, com­fortably housed, and in no danger of being eaten by other Negroes ‑‑‑something they have never had except in a civilization created and maintained by White Men. Despite all propaganda, every Negro in the United States is far better off than those in Africa: just try to find any who want to go back to any black nation in Africa.  But neither Negroes nor Whites will have the bless­ings of civilization in a nation reduced to black standards of thinking: if they were capable of producing a civilization at all, 40,000 years is long enough to do it.

  Yes, I know that in Asia, 2,300 years ago, Confucius taught some high ethical principles ‑‑‑but without a word of religion in them; and I know that the Ming Dynasty saw the production of some nice pieces of porcelain. But what did either of these do for the Asiatic people? Did it ever teach them how to produce enough food to fill those fine porcelain bowls? Shouldn't 2,300 years of Confucian philosophy be enough to develop something more than poverty, disease and misery? Again, the Asiatic mind lacks the true spiritual understanding which God saw was needed. Are not the Asiatics who live in the United States better off than those who live in Red China, North Korea, or Southeast Asia? We don't hate them; but we don't want them to reduce us to their level. This is what God was talking about in the second chapter of Genesis, when He said that the other beings lived in the country round about but could not produce a suitable wife for Adam, "HIS COUNTERPART."

    Because of the spiritual understanding which God put in the AWAWM today the White Race has the highest civilization, the greatest freedom, the highest standard of living, in the world: they are the so‑called "have" nations. We have not hated the other races: we have tried to help them, to show them our ways. But all of them have hated us: in the centuries when we were very few against their many, they repeatedly tried to conquer and destroy us, but God's watchful care over His people didn't allow that to happen, although several times they came dangerously close to success. In lands rich with minerals, they sit in wretchedness and poverty, too lacking in enterprise to mine the enormous wealth beneath their feet; in lands where the fertile soil and ample rainfall cover the land with lush growth, they live in perpetual hunger, because they are too dull to clear the land and plant it to food crops. If we provide the capital to pay them for clearing their land and planting and harvesting useful crops or for digging and refin­ing the minerals in their soil, they curse us for "exploiting" them; but if we don't, they curse us for being indifferent to their misery. Now, through the United Nations where they outnumber and out vote us, they plan to rule us, plunder us, enslave us, and reduce us to their level. Well did God classify them as "ENOSH", lacking utterly in the spiritual understanding necessary to follow God's ways.

    Perhaps you may say, "All these wore quoted from the Old Testament; but in the New Testament, God changed His mind and changed all that." So, lot us see what the New Testament says about them. In his Epistle to Titus 1:12, Paul says, "One of themselves, oven a prophet of their own, said‑, 'The Cretans are always liars EVIL BEASTS'". The word "beast" here is the Greek word "THERION", meaning dangerous animal." Jude 10 says "But those speak evil of those things they know not but what they know naturally, as BRUTE BEASTS, in those things they corrupt themselves.  And 11 Peter 2:12 says, "But those, as natural brute BEASTS made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things they understand not, and shall utterly perish in their own corruption.

    These ENOSH were commonly called "DOGS", both in the Old and New Testaments.    For example, Psalm 22 is recognized by all Bible scholars as prophetic of Jesus Christ's first coming and crucifixion. In the 16th verse, it says: "For DOGS have compassed Me: the assembly of the wicked have enclosed Me: they pierced My hands and My foot." God is certainly not complaining that some four‑footed dogs barked at Him; and there is no record that any ever did. He is speaking of those who delivered Him up to be crucified. The use of this word is common, in the Now Testament. In Philippians 3:2,  Paul says, "Beware of DOGS, beware of evil workers." The four footed dogs are no more evil workers than cats or cows; Paul and those to whom he wrote now that these "dogs" were the two‑footed kind.

   If you say, "This is discrimination between races" you are exactly right. Has someone told you that monstrous falsehood, that "it isn't Christ­ian to discriminate between the races"? Let's see what Jesus Christ, Himself did. In Mark 7:25‑29, we read "For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of Him, and came and fell at His feet: the woman was a Greek, a Syro-Phoenician by nation; and she besought Him that He would cast forth the devil out of her daughter. But Jesus said unto her, 'Let the child­ren first be filled: for it not right to take the children's bread and to cast it unto the DOGS.' And she answered and said unto Him, 'Yes, Lord: yet the DOGS under the table cat of the children's crumbs. " And He said unto her, 'For this saving, go thy way: the devil is gone out of thy daughter.'" Jesus Christ certainly did discriminate; and not until the woman recognized the righteousness of the discrimination did He help her. She had first asked help of Him on the same basis as the Israelites, true AWDAWM.  On that basis, she was not entitled to it. Jesus told her, Let the children first be filled with the Bread of Life; then they will establish the Kingdom of God on earth, and from this God s blessings will be extended to such others as can under­stand and receive them in the proper spirit. Meanwhile, Jesus Christ did not hesitate to openly call the ENOSH "dogs". When the woman indicated that she understood that the blessings would come to others out of the abundance which God gave to His own children, then He told her that "for this saying" He had healed her daughter. Again, Jesus Christ carefully warned His disciples never to make the mistake of failing to discriminate, never to try to bring the ENOSH, who lack under­standing, into the Kingdom of God on the same terms as the AWDAWM. In Matthew 7:6, He warned them, "Give not that which is holy unto the DOGS, neither cast ye your pearls before SWINE, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you."  Strong words?  Yes: but the direct command of Jesus Christ, Himself. We have disobeyed Him, and we are now facing the tragic penalty, We have tried to treat the other races as equals, we have expected them to learn the same lessons from our religion that we do, we have expected them to behave with some self‑restraint when they find power in their hands ‑‑‑just the very things that Jesus Christ warned us not to do, lost they trample them under their foot, and turn again and rend you."

   To His disciples, Jesus said (in John 14:16‑17), "And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you forever: even the Spirit of Truth whom the world cannot receive, because it sooth Him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you." Therefore, it was logical to speak of those whose minds lacked the spiritual understanding as "beasts," because of their nature.

   In the Book of Daniel, the prophet traces the rise and fall of four great world‑empires ruled by these people. First he interprets Nebuchad­nezzar's dream of the great image, whose head was of gold, his breast and arms of silver, his belly and thighs of brass, his logs of iron  as prophesy­ing the successive dominance of four great empires,    Nebuchadnezzar's Babylon being the first of these, the golden head, and the others being Medo‑Persia, Alexander's and Rome. But in chapter 7, Daniel had a vision of four remark able beasts, rising one after the other out of the sea. We know that, in prophecy, the sea is symbolic of mankind in general, all people‑‑‑the great majority of whom are the ENOSH, the pre‑Adamic races. Out of them came the four beasts: the first, a lion, symbolized Babylon, like the golden head of the image; the second, a boar, symbolized the great empire of Media and Persia; the third, a leopard, for the swift‑striking empire of Alexander the Great; and the fourth, a very terrible beast with iron teeth, 10 horns, and great strength, symbolized Rome. This was exactly the same series, in the same order, as the image of Nebuchadnezzar, s dream. Its repetition was to confirm the first one as true prophecy.
