Sabbath 15/4/40/120

Dear Friends,

Today is the Third Sabbath of the Fourth Month.   We are releasing the 8th Surah of the Commentary on the Koran. 

This text deals with the results of the Battle of Badr or Tubuk which saw instructions of the tithes laid down at 20% on the spoils of war.  The result of the decree was that the standard 10% for the church as paid by Abraham to Melchisedek in the OT text was increased by the amount of the 10% of the second tithe so that both elements of the tithe were coupled together and paid to the church so that the funds for the widows and orphans could be paid as compensation and supervised by the church.  In other words the third year tithe of the Double Tithe for the welfare year was implemented also for the spoils of war as the welfare tithe was for the Third year of the seven year Sabbath cycle. So also the rules were laid down on spoils of war and the requirements on conduct which shows how badly the modern Hadithic Muslims are perverting the Koran and Scripture.

In this regard it is important that we all study the papers Tithing (No. 161); Law and the Sixth Commandment (No. 259) and Law and the Seventh Commandment (No. 260).

Note the Hadithic Muslims of the Sunna defy all the rules of the Koran and of Scripture and are selling the captured women and children as sex slaves via internet apps. This is unacceptable and they must be punished along with their Imams.

Commentary on the Koran Surah 8 “The Spoils of War” (Q8) has been printed and loaded to the web and is now recorded.  We will proceed to Q9 as soon as possible this weekend.

We are doing the best we can to make progress and have the Qur’an properly published with Scriptural references.

The Koran made sure that the faith understood that they would face increasing battles from the battle of Badr to that of Mt Uhud (Q3) the next year and then the Battle of the Clans numbering 10,000 in the War of the Trench (Q33).  The Muslims were to face great wars as were the Paulicians to the West in the Pergamos era and as the Pergamos slipped into the Thyatiran era after they lost their lampstand as we explained in the papers General Distributiion of the Sabbath-keeping Churches (No. 122);  Role of the Fourth Commandment in the Historical Sabbath-keeping Churches  of God (No. 170) and Pillars of Philadelphia (No. 283).

Please study on with us and help us all to grow and prosper.
