Psalms 83 Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.
2 For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.
3 They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.
4 They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.
5 For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee:
6 The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes;
7 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre(Rome);
8 Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah.
9 Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison:
10 Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth.
11 Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:
12 Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession.
13 O my Yah, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind.
14 As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire;
15 So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm.
16 Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O Yahuah.
17 Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish:
18 That men may know that thou, whose name alone is Yahuah, art the most high over all the earth.Joel 3 “In those days and at that time, when I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem, will gather all nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. There I will put them on triaL for what they did to my inheritance, my people Israel, because they scattered my people among the nations and divided up my land. They cast lots for my people and traded boys for prostitutes. they sold girls for wine(H) to drink.
4 “Now what have you against me, Tyre and Sidon(I)and all you regions of Philistia?(J) Are you repaying me for something I have done? If you are paying me back, I will swiftly and speedily return on your own heads what you have done.(K) 5 For you took my silver and my gold and carried off my finest treasures to your temples.[c](L)6 You sold the people of Judah and Jerusalem to the Greeks,(M) that you might send them far from their homeland.
7 “See, I am going to rouse them out of the places to which you sold them,(N) and I will return(O) on your own heads what you have done. 8 I will sell your sons(P) and daughters to the people of Judah,(Q) and they will sell them to the Sabeans,(R) a nation far away.” The Lordhas spoken.(S)
9 Proclaim this among the nations: Prepare for war!(T)Rouse the warriors!(U) Let all the fighting men draw near and attack.10 Beat your plowshares into swords and your pruning hooks(V) into spears.(W)Let the weakling(X) say, “I am strong!”(Y)11 Come quickly, all you nations from every side, and assemble(Z) there.
Bring down your warriors,(AA) Lord!
12 “Let the nations be roused; let them advance into the Valley of Jehoshaphat,(AB)for there I will sit to judge(AC) all the nations on every side.13 Swing the sickle,(AD) for the harvest(AE) is ripe.Come, trample the grapes,(AF) for the winepress(AG) is full and the vats overflow—so great is their wickedness!”
14 Multitudes,(AH) multitudes in the valley(AI) of decision!For the day of the Lord(AJ) is near in the valley of decision.(AK)15 The sun and moon will be darkened, and the stars no longer shine.(AL)16 The Lord will roar(AM) from Zion and thunder from Jerusalem;(AN) the earth and the heavens will tremble.(AO)But the Lord will be a refuge(AP) for his people, a stronghold(AQ) for the people of Israel.
According to the latest research, there is very little doubt about the Jewish origin of the discoverer of the Americas. This is confirmed by documents found in the Royal Library of Spain and that had never before been available to historians. It is also confirmed by documents that are kept in the Vatican's secret archives. On the occasion of the centenary of the birth of Einstein, also Jewish, on November 10, 1979, Pope John Paul II opened his archives to the public. On this memorable date, the Pope apologized to the world for the condemnation that the Inquisition, called the Holy Office, gave Galileo Galilei. His sin was to maintain that it was the earth that revolved around the sun and not the opposite as the church held it.
The Samson Trust Foundation, supported by the family headed by Elie Shalit, managed to consult fundamental documents on the subject. They show that it was not the jewels of Queen Elizabeth of Castile that paid for the expedition, but the Jewish community. Before the expulsion of the Jews from Spain in 1492, decreed by the Catholic kings Fernando de Aragón and Isabel de Castilla, more than 10% of the Spanish population practiced the Jewish religion. Created the inquisition every being who was not Catholic only had 3 paths: either he converted to Catholicism, or left the country leaving all his property or died at the stake. Then they emigrated 120 thousand Jews, especially to Portugal. Given this situation, Columbus, who was born from a rich Jewish family from Genova (Italy), converted to Catholicism.
Columbus received extensive knowledge of cartography, mathematics, and astronomy at the University of Coimbra, in Portugal. He shared with the wise Toscanelli the idea that the earth was round and therefore it was feasible to reach the east by traveling to the west. From before the Christian era, the Jews had some notion about the roundness of the earth. For this reason, Yom Kippur, the Jewish New Year, celebrated it for 2 days instead of one. They knew that while on one side of the earth it was day, on the other side it was night. Curiously, the day of the expulsion of the Jews from Spain corresponds to the Jewish calendar, which now goes in the year 5772, to the 9th of Av, the day of the destruction of the temple of Jerusalem by the Romans.
Most of the 120 sailors who made up the expedition were of Jewish origin. They fled from the persecutions of the Inquisition and sought other lands where they could freely exercise their religion. In the notes on the landing on the island of Guanahaní, which Columbus baptized as San Salvador, it is read that Columbus spoke to its inhabitants in Hebrew, thinking that he had found one of the lost tribes of Israel.
Columbus always hid the data of his birth and his childhood. In the letters, he sent to the kings of Spain he mentioned King David and the expulsion of the Jews, matters that had no relation to his discovery. These letters, according to studies of the graphology department of the Madrid police, were written from right to left as the Hebrew is written. In the letters, he sent to his son he always put the Hebrew words bet hei on the top of each page, which in Hebrew means “with the help of God.”
The discovery of the new world encouraged many crypto-Jews to emigrate to it. In the Hebrew cemetery of Curaçao, the oldest in America, Castilianized names belonging to Jewish families are read in numerous tombs. Those ending in guez, ez and the names of saints such as Rodríguez, Gutiérrez, González, López, Santodomingo, Santos, Sanjuán, Santamaría etc. are common. -In an article that Professor Luis López de Mesa wrote, he found more than 300 Castilianized surnames descended from Spanish and Portuguese Jewish families converted to Christianity.
