Now that Timothy Jay Schwab of The God Culture has completed his 52-week Answers in Jubilees series let's take a look and see just what answers he gave us. What topics did he cover? Did he examine the whole book, all 50 chapters and all their verses? Or did he skip over a lot of material? Remember, this book is essential to his program of proving that The Garden of Eden is in the Philippines, albeit buried underneath the floor of the Sulu Sea near Tubbataha Reef, and that the Philippines is the land of creation to where the Northern Lost Tribes of Israel migrated.
Let's start by listing the title of each video and the chapters and verses cited therein. From this list we can see the topics covered and get a very good sense of what Timothy thinks this book has to tell us.
Answers in Jubilees Complete Playlist |
1. What was the Original Language? Answers in Jubilees: Part 1
Jubilees 12:26-27; 4:17-18, 8:3 Instead of beginning with chapter 1 verse 1 Tim starts off in chapter 12 verse 26. Not a good way to start a study of Jubilees or any book for that matter.
2. What Territory Belongs to Shem? Answers in Jubilees: Part 2
Jubilees 8:8-21
3. What Territory Belongs to HAM? Answers in Jubilees Part 3
Jubilees 8:22-24
4. What Territory Belongs to Japheth? Answers in Jubilees Part 4
Jubilees 8:25-30 Parts 2-4 are all recap videos covering the division of Noah that Timothy had previously covered in his flood series. That is more time wasted on subjects already covered thoroughly and in detail elsewhere.
5. Is Man Limited to 120 Years of Life? Answers in Jubilees Part 5
Jubilees 23:9-15
6. Noah's Book of Healing. Answers in Jubilees Part 6

7. Isaac's Sacrifice: The Calendar that Drove Messiah's Sacrifice: Answers in Jubilees Part 7
Jubilees 17:15; 18:3-13
8. Where is the Garden of Eden? Answers in Jubilees Part 8
Jubilees 3:32,35; 4:29; 8:22-23 In the comments Tim calls this a recap video and directs someone to watch the full Rivers from Eden series. So it's time wasted on what has already been covered.
9. Where did Enoch Go? He Does not Reside in Heaven. Answers in Jubilees Part 9
Jubilees 4:22-26; 10:17; 21:10 Tim claims Enoch is in the Garden of Eden which is located beneath the floor of the Sulu Sea enclosed in the earth. Ridiculous and certainly not provable.
10. Is The Garden of Eden Still There? Answers in Jubilees Part 10
Jubilees 8:19; 10:17 The location of the Garden of Eden is covered in parts 8-10. Why is so much time wasted on this one topic which he has covered in much more detail in a whole series dedicated to locating the Garden of Eden in the Philippines? If the Garden of Eden is buried beneath the ocean floor then the location given in Jubilees is nonsensical as no one would know where it is!
11. When Were the Angels Created? Answers in Jubilees Part 11
Jubilees 2:2-3
12. The 22 Works of Creation. Who Were the Creators? Answers in Jubilees Part 12
Jubilees 2:1-16; 16:26; 21:24 In this video Tim teaches the heretical and blasphemous idea that the Father and Son brought creation into existence apart from the Holy Spirit who played some unspecified role but not as creator. It is anti-trinitarian and demotes the Holy Spirit from His rightful position as God. He also teaches the preexistence of souls.
13. The Restoration of SHAVOUT. One of the Most Important Days of the Year. Messiah & Isaac's Births. Answers in Jubilees Part 13
Jubilees 1:1, 3-4, 6:16-20; 14:1, 10-11; 16:12-13

Jubilees 7:27; 10:1-14
17. What is the Name of God in Jubilees & The Dead Sea Scrolls? Answers in Jubilees Part 17
No verses from Jubilees are cited. This video is just an apology for amending the text of RH Charles to include the name Yahuah. More time wasted as he is not covering the text of Jubilees at all in this video but is making excuses for his modification of Charles' translation.
18. Was Cain the Serpent's Seed? Answers in Jubilees Part 18
Jubilees 3:9, 15, 17-27, 32-34; 4:1

21. The Mystery of Cain Part 2. Pre-Adamic Man? Answers in Jubilees 21
Jubilees 3:1,8-11 Parts 18-21 are all devoted to Cain. That is 4 videos covering one subject. Why spend this much time on Cain whose lineage was wiped out by the flood?

27. First Cites After the Flood. First Wives Club. Answers in Jubilees Part 27
Jubilees 7:13-17
28. The Original Sinday. Answers in Jubilees Part 28
Jubilees 3:17; 5:23, 31 This video teaches that Adam sinned on a Sunday and Tim tries to link this to the Church's practice of worshipping on the first day of the week. It is a gross apologetic for Sabbath keeping.
29. The Tower of Babel. Was it Real? How Tall? Possible? Where is Shinar? Answers in Jubilees Part 29
Jubilees 10:18-27; 12:25; 9:3
30. Prophecy of Noah. Japheth in the Tent of Shem? Where Does Yahuah Dwell? Answers in Jubilees Part 30
Jubilees 7:10-12; 8:19. This video teaches that God's physical presence on the Earth is in the Garden of Eden which is buried underneath the floor of the Sulu Sea. Apparently Tim does not know that God's people are his temple and he dwells in them. This is one of many points where Jubilees actually contradicts Genesis. The subject of Genesis 9:27 is Japheth and not God. This prophecy is fulfilled in the conversion of the nations to Christianity who have been mostly of Japhetic origin.
31. Abraham Casts Out Demonic Ravens. Answers in Jubilees Part 31
Jubilees 11:10-24.
"Another gap filled by Torah in Jubilees" says the video description. "Albert Hitchcock" was "a cabalist probably" and probably knew this story of Abraham and the ravens which is where The Birds comes from. That is patently ridiculous as The Birds is based on a short story! There is no evidence that Hitchcock was a cabalist. He was a Roman Catholic. Fills in the gaps of how Abraham grew in faith and relationship with God? But the Bible says Abraham worshipped idols until God called him, Joshua 24:2. This story contradicts the Bible and Tim does not explain that contradiction.
32. Abraham Burns Down Temple of Idols. Answers in Jubilees Part 32
Jubilees 12:1-15. This story agrees with the Talmud.
33. Yah's Calendar: Part A. Answers in Jubilees 33

35. Origin of the Feast of Tabernacles & New Testament Continuance. Answers in Jubilees Part 35
Jubilees 16:20-31; 32:18-23, 27-29; 7:1
36. When Does the Bible Day Begin? Brief Recap. Answers in Jubilees 36
Jubilees 6:36, 2:8-9 This is a pointless recap of videos 33 and 34. Nothing new is offered here. This is a waste of a video which could have been used to explain more about the contents of Jubilees. Its existence shows us what Tim's major theological concern is. It is keeping the Sabbath and not the Person and work of Jesus Christ which occupies his thoughts.
37. The Mystery of Melchizedek. Answers in Jubilees 37
Jubilees 13:22-29. Tim likens Abraham going after Lot to the movie Taken even quoting the line about having a very specific set of skills. He actually says Liam Neeson is a wussy compared to Abraham. Very frivolous. In this video Tim claims Shem died before Abraham was born. That may be according to Jubilees' chronology but that differs from Genesis very significantly.
38. Order of Melchizedek. The New Testament & Qumran Scrolls. Answers in Jubilees 38.
No verses of Jubilees are cited. 37 and 38 could easily have been one whole video but Tim chose to waste a spot in his series by breaking this discussion into two parts. Jubilees does not even mention Melchizedek which would be a good time to talk about how and why Jubilees and Genesis differ but he does not do this. Instead he dismisses RH Charles as being incompetent for mentioning the Talmud in his notes.
39. The Mystery of Sodom Part 1. Answers in Jubilees 39
Jubilees 16:5-9; 36:10; 20: 4-6, 22:22
40. The Mystery of Sodom Part 2. Answers in Jubilees 40
There are no citations from Jubilees in this video.
41. The Mystery of Sodom Part 3. Answers in Jubilees 41
There are no citations from Jubilees in this video. The real mystery here is why dwell on this subject under the heading of Answers in Jubilees for three videos when only one video has anything to do with Jubilees?
42. Commandments of Abraham? Answers in Jubilees 42
Jubilees 20:1-10; 21:1-10; 22:16
This whole video can be refuted with Galatians 3:17-19 which explicitly states the Mosaic law came 430 years after Abraham and was added or given because of transgression. Tim does not even bring up those verses. In this video Tim says otherwise and he denies Abraham was made righteous by faith alone as is said in Genesis 15:6.
43. Did Esau Have Red Hair? The Birthright Sold. Answers in Jubilees 43
Jubilees 24:1-8. Tim says the answer is no, he had red skin. But who cares? What Rabbi says Esau is a Jew because he has red hair? He gives no proof Why is this a whole episode? It could have been incorporated into a study of the entire chapter.
44. Was Jacob a Thief? A Deceiver? How Did Abraham Die? Answers in Jubilees 44
Jubilees 22:10-30; 23:1-2; 24:6-7; 26:5-12
45. Why Are Israel And Edom At War? Esau Is The End? Answers in Jubilees 45
Jubilees 37:1-25. This is the only chapter Tim covers in its entirety in a single video. Chapter 8 is covered in its entirety over the course of multiple videos.
46. How Did Esau Die? Tracking Edom to the End. Answers in Jubilees 46
Jubilees 38:1-15. Adds to the text an army of nephilim giants. He claims the name Amalek refers to vampires which means nephilim. Esau married into a nephilim family and had nephilim descendants who became Europeans and colonized the world. The Edomites took over the temple in 165 BC. The Edomites are the current rulers of the world.
47. The Bible Book of Jasher Is Jubilees! Modern Frauds Exposed! Answers in Jubilees 47
Jubilees 38:1-3; 34:1-9
48. The Real Yashar History Uncovered. Modern Jasher vs Jubilees. Answers in Jubilees 48
There are no verses from Jubilees cited in this video.
49 A. The Jasher Hoax. First 25 Reasons Modern Jasher Is NOT Scripture! Answers In Jubilees 49A
49 B. The Jasher Hoax. 26-50 Reasons Modern Jasher Is NOT Scripture! Answers In Jubilees 49B
49 C. The Jasher Hoax. 51-75 Reasons Modern Jasher Is NOT Scripture! Answers In Jubilees 49C
There are no verses of Jubilees cited in any of these videos which means it is more wasted space. Hearing Tim go through Jasher and tell us why the book is not scripture is laughable because the same arguments apply to Jubilees such as the wrong timeline and additional material not found in Genesis which contradicts the narrative like the Patriarchs keeping the Mosaic Law. 49 D actually has Tim denying the holocaust at 44:19 and apologizing for Hitler at 49:58. I would not be surprised if Youtube takes it down.
50. The Bones of Joseph Speak! Proof Moses Wrote Jubilees. Answers in Jubilees 50
Jubilees 46:1-9 This is a direct response to "scholars" who claim this chapter shows a contradiction. Tim never names these "scholars" or gives their allegedly wrong interpretation.
51. Is Prince Mastema Satan? Who Was The Angel of Death In Egypt? Answers In Jubilees 51
Jubilees 10:8-9; 11:11; 18:16; 19:28; 48:9, 12, 15-17; 49:2
Tim claims the stories about Mastema offer clarity about why Pharaoh pursued the Israelites into the wilderness. The reality is God hardened Pharaoh's heart yet Tim does not mention that fact. He calls the story of God meeting Moses at an inn seeking to slay him because his sons were not circumcised stupid and ridiculous but deceitfully cites only the version told in Jasher while not disclosing that the same story is in Exodus 4:24-26. I have written a rebuttal of this video that can be read here.
52. End Times Prophecy of Moses In Jubilees. Answers In Jubilees 52
Jubilees 16:26; 21:24; 23:18-32
Let's break all that down. Of Jubilees' 50 chapters Tim did not touch 18 of them. That is 36% of the book left unexamined. But let's go even further. There are 1288 verses in the Book of Jubilees. 10 videos have no verses from Jubilees which is 8.9% of the series not discussing Jubilees. Timothy covers a total of 385 verses in the other videos some of which are repeats. That means he only examined 29.8% of the book! And he has the gall to claim he has "thoroughly vetted" Jubilees? What a liar!
What we have here is not a systematic teaching of the Book of Jubilees to get its message across. What we have here are the ravings of a totally deluded man who has fallen deep into heresy. The Dead Sea Scroll community would most certainly have condemned Timothy Jay Schwab. In this series we are not told that animals lost their ability to speak because of the fall, Tim skips Jubilees 3:28, but we are told that the spirits of all men were created on day one and that animals will be judged for their sins.
Judgment of the Watchers. Answers In Jubilees: Part 15 |
8:47 “And the judgment of all is ordained and written on the heavenly tablets in righteousness even the judgment of all who depart from the path which is ordained for them to walk in and if they walk not therein judgment is written down for every creature and for every kind.” Realize that includes land animals who have spirits according to Jubilees too. So yes they’re going to be animals in the kingdom of heaven. Hmm. Interest.
What nonsense that is and it comes straight from Tim's interpretation of Jubilees. As for all the spirits of every man being created on day one that comes from Jubilees 2:2.
21:27 All spirits for every man who will ever live were already created from day one.
The 22 Works of Creation. Who Were the Creators? Answers In Jubilees: Part 12
16:55 Understand we already covered earlier in this series that Heaven has a place for souls or spirits of men which was created on the First Day. Not men, not man, not mankind, not humans, but their spirits. Now, that's where they're created and they're held and then they're released into mankind. Now, that’s before we are alive. And then we live and when die then our spirits go into these chambers. Now, that's what the Bible says over and over and over again. Where does this other doctrine come from? It's not Bible, it's occult. That number, by the way, is already predetermined from the beginning. Yahuah now how many to create to the end of man. How about that?
Lazarus Come Forth... Where Do We Go When We Die? Part 2. Answers In 2nd Esdras 23B
Tim blabs on about occult unbiblical doctrines infiltrating the Church and here he is teaching an occult unbiblical doctrine, the preexistence of souls. One will never find this garbage in the Bible or in the teaching of the Church because it is simply untrue.
It is a fact that Tim rails against the Pharisees and the Christians for rejecting Jubilees but in this instance the doctrine of the preexistence of souls survives amongst midrashic literature. Legends of the Jews by Louis Ginzberg has many stories from Jubilees. Compare Jubilees 2:2 with Legends of the Jews and the Midrash Tanumah.
Jubilees 2:2 For on the first day He created the heavens which are above and the earth and the waters and all the spirits which serve before him -the angels of the presence, and the angels of sanctification, and the angels [of the spirit of fire and the angels] of the spirit of the winds, and the angels of the spirit of the clouds, and of darkness, and of snow and of hail and of hoar frost, and the angels of the voices and of the thunder and of the lightning, and the angels of the spirits of cold and of heat, and of winter and of spring and of autumn and of summer and of all the spirits of his creatures which are in the heavens and on the earth, (He created) the abysses and the darkness, eventide <and night>, and the light, dawn and day, which He hath prepared in the knowledge of his heart.
Legends of the Jews: The care which God exercised in fashioning every detail of the body of man is as naught in comparison with His solicitude for the human soul. The soul of man was created on the first day, for it is the spirit of God moving upon the face of the waters. Thus, instead of being the last, man is really the first work of creation.
With the soul of Adam the souls of all the generations of men were created. They are stored up in a promptuary, in the seventh of the heavens, whence they are drawn as they are needed for human body after human body.
Many in the ancient world believed that all human souls were created before the material world, but the midrash Tanhumah tells us that all souls were made during the six days of Creation. Before the birth of each person, God calls forward the proper soul and has angels show that soul how earthly existence benefits spirit by allowing for spiritual development.
Those are only two instances of the extra-biblical material in Jubilees surviving outside of Jubilees. So, it is most certainly untrue that this book and its contents were suppressed. The fact is Jubilees was composed as a midrash or commentary upon Genesis and it survives in part as a midrash upon Genesis to this day amongst the Jews because they incorporated large parts of it in their tradition. Tim is wholly unaware that many of the stories in Jubilees show up in Jewish Midrash. Texts such as Rabba Genesis and the Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs contain stories found in Jubilees. So while the book of Jubilees itself was left in obscurity the traditions in it were not. It is to no avail and actually reveals his ignorance when Tim accuses Pharisees of suppressing the book of Jubilees when its traditions fill their writings.
THE RECORD OF TERRITORIES, TIMES AND PEOPLES CRUCIAL TO FUNDAMENTAL BIBLICAL UNDERSTANDING
The Real Yashar History Uncovered. Modern Jasher vs. Jubilees. Answers In Jubilees 48 |
20:04 Now, you will find the Book of Jubilees in continued use throughout history. It has been bible canon, uh, especially in Ethiopia all along at least 300 a.d, their first church basically, uh, to present. It's still there in their Bible canon and it is quoted by early church fathers even Popes, from 150 A.D. all the way through to at least the 1300s even in the West who, yeah, lost it for a time but it wasn't lost. Ethiopia continued it as canon. Now, that's called historicity,
Now that is already a problem as no Pope nor Christian leader can be compared with John the Baptist. Thus changing his canon of scripture which this library would represent and which we now have full documentation in his time capsule preserved in the caves of Qumran is very problematic to any traditional line attempting to suppress books considered scripture by John and by the way Yahusha even visited and was baptized there which could be considered a a further endorsement in fact. You cannot say that about the council of Nicea or any of the other councils. Yahusha was not there and believe me not in any sense whatsoever as they eliminated the book of Jubilees and others which was scripture inspired and canon.
BOOK OF JUBILEES: Scripture? Inspired? What does the Bible Say? Enoch, Jasher, Dead Sea Scrolls at 38:22

The Bible doesn't say because it is impertinent.
For all the answers Tim does give he doesn't answer the tougher questions about the discrepancies between Jubilees and the Torah. For instance, in Exodus and Leviticus all the feasts are tied directly to the Exodus from Egypt while in Jubilees the Patriarchs are celebrating these feasts already. Why does Exodus never mention that Abraham, Noah, Adam, and everyone else kept those feasts? Or how about the priesthood of Levi? In Jubilees 32:9 Levi is exercising the office of the High Priest BEFORE the instructions of God regarding the Priesthood were given in Exodus. Tim offers no explanation of this situation. Then there is the issue of Jesus Christ. Genesis is full of types and symbols of Jesus Christ yet Tim does not find any such typology in Jubilees except for the sacrifice of Isaac. Tim teaches that Jesus and Isaac were both sacrificed on the same date which is the Passover. He also teaches that Jesus and Isaac were born on the same date which is Pentecost.
Tim does not get at the meat of the real typology between Isaac and Christ. They were both miracle children. Isaac gave birth to Israel (Jacob) and Christ gives birth to the true Israel (the Church). They were both Sons offered up by their Fathers. Instead of explaining the real typology between the two Tim latches onto dates. Very paltry dates. And these dates he can only guess at through his use of Jubilees which absolutely does not agree with Genesis in its chronology. No, Pentecost is not tied to the birth of Isaac. It is tied to the giving of the law in Exodus and the fulfillment of that feast is the giving of the Holy Spirit in Acts. Those two events mirror one another as they both represent the two covenants God has made with man. One through the law and the other without the law.
Deleted Comment from: The Original SINDAY. Answers In Jubilees Part 28 |
Zachary Hampton: Genuine question here:
1. around the 7-8 minute mark, you speak of Adam tilling the ground, I thought he didn't need to till until after the ground was cursed due to him sinning.
Secondly, what law do you speak of during Adam's time? I know God rested on the seventh day, but I'm not aware of law for Adam to follow. I thought the law came later through Moses.
This question gets right to the heart of the matter concerning Jubilees. The law did come through Moses. Jubilees teaches otherwise. It's strange that Tim had no answer to this query except to delete it. Isn't the series Answers in Jubilees supposed to be about providing ANSWERS in Jubilees?
for He knew and perceived that from him would arise the plant of righteousness for the eternal generations, and from him a holy seed, so that it should become like Him who had made all things
The “Plant of Righteousness for the eternal generations” can only be Messiah. It is also mentioned in 7:34. It is certainly not Israel but one man according to 1 Enoch (1 En. 10:16, 93:5, 10) which specifies it is Messiah. He is the “holy seed” and He is the one “who had made all things.”
Book of Jubilees, pg. 21
8:10 Messiah is the eternal plant of righteousness and no one else. He is the holy seed. Israel never was. And he is the one who made all things

By not duly considering the purpose of a genealogy we may mark a contradiction where none in fact exists. There is no record of unbelieving Jewish critics in the early ages of the church charging Luke’s genealogy of the Messiah with a fault because of a supposed contradiction with Old Testament genealogies, a fault which they would have been only too eager to find. The genealogical records were simply too well known for any such charge to stick.

1:03 We wanted to show you just how much there is that is occult to this book because we are tired of seeing the comments that are completely illiterate from people who haven't really read the book. Maybe in fragments as they read the bible, many, and you just can't read anything that way and understand it. It won't happen.
Jubilees 34:11 they sold him to Potiphar, the eunuch of Pharaoh, the chief of the cooks, priest of the city of 'Elew.Jubilees 39:2 and Potiphar, an eunuch of Pharaoh, the chief cook bought him.Jubilees 40:10 and gave Joseph to wife the daughter of Potiphar, the daughter of the priest of Heliopolis, the chief cook.
Jubilees 34:20: And after Joseph perished, the sons of Jacob took unto themselves wives....and the name of Judah's wife, Betasu'el, a Canaanite
Genesis 41:46 And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt.
Jubilees 41: 21And after that she bare two sons, Perez and Zerah, in the seventh year of this second week.22 And thereupon the seven years of fruitfulness were accomplished, of which Joseph spake to Pharaoh.
First, in the story of Judah and Tamar (Gen. xxxviii.) the historian thus begins: "And it came to pass at that time that Judah went down from his brethren." This time cannot refer to what immediately precedes, but must necessarily refer to something else, for from the time when Joseph was sold into Egypt to the time when the patriarch Jacob, with all his family, set out thither, cannot be reckoned as more than twenty-two years, for Joseph, when he was sold by his brethren, was seventeen years old, and when he was summoned by Pharaoh from prison was thirty; if to this we add the seven years of plenty and two of famine, the total amounts to twenty-two years. Now, in so short a period, no one can suppose that so many things happened as are described; that Judah had three children, one after the other, from one wife, whom he married at the beginning of the period; that the eldest of these, when he was old enough, married Tamar, and that after he died his next brother succeeded to her; that, after all this, Judah, without knowing it, had intercourse with his daughter-in-law, and that she bore him twins, and, finally, that the eldest of these twins became a father within the aforesaid period.
Jubilees 44:15 Judah and his sons; and these are the names of his sons: Shela, and Perez, and Zerah-four.Masoretic Genesis 46:12 And the sons of Judah; Er, and Onan, and Shelah, and Pharez, and Zarah: but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan. And the sons of Pharez were Hezron and Hamul.
Septuagint Genesis 46:13 And the sons of Phares Esron, and Jemuel.
The Bible Book of Jasher Is Jubilees! Modern Fraud Exposed! Answers In Jubilees 47 |
44:27 What are we going to see? We're going to see that Genesis affirms Jubilees as Torah, right here! Wow! Open your bible to Genesis 48:21 and 22. This is monumental, folks. Here it is. The proof many have been demanding about Jubilees. Here it is folks and this is firm and no one can disprove this.Jacob is about to quote a history that does not come from Genesis. It doesn't come from his story otherwise because Moses placed that story, that full account, in Jubilees and then references it here in Genesis. This proves the book of Jubilees as Torah. Quoted by Torah. Boom! Here we go.
Let me interrupt here to take note that Timothy Jay Schwab often does the mic drop saying, "Boom!" whenever he thinks he has made an irrefutable point. It's childish and stupid and is not what any serious person would ever say when they are trying to get their opinions across. But then again Timothy is not very serious. A man who claims a map from 1492 references the city of Manila and depicts the Philippine archipelago is simply not serious. A man who claims the Book of Jubilees was in continual use in the West from 150 AD until the 1300's is not serious. A man who claims the earth is flat and that God is one member of a class of heavenly beings is not serious. A man who claims that the entire Christian world is in error and needs correcting from the Dead Sea Scrolls which were not discovered until 1947 is not serious. Tim is a crafty liar, however.
And Israel, Jacob, said unto Joseph, Behold I die but Elohim shall be with you and bring you again unto the land of your fathers. Moreover I have given to thee one portion above thy brethren. He loved Joseph the most there's no doubt about that and again he also set Ephraim, Joseph's actually younger son, it wasn't even his oldest because that's Manasseh, but he set Ephraim with the birthright because Reuben had lost it. Uh, we didn't actually get to that in this series. I don't think we're going to but there's a story in Jubilees that explains how Reuben lost his birthright sleeping with his father's concubine basically servant maidservant of sort. Um, okay, so here we go, here he goes.Which, so he's going to pay him one portion above thy brethren. Where does this money come from? The money comes from the battle of the Amorites who paid him tribute which means it happened, folks. It's real. It's truth and it affirms the book of Jubilees. Wow! Okay, which I took out of the hand of the Amorite with my sword and with my bow. He's talking about the tribute that they paid to him. There you go again. Jacob's bow is also mentioned in Samuel as well and what's this, here we go, where does torah ever say Jacob defeated Amorites and received tribute? It's not in Genesis. It's not there yet this is Torah quoting Torah.Uh-oh that's because it's in the book of Jubilees which is Torah, proven right here in Genesis. Moses says Jacob quoting Jubilee's account here as Torah on Torah there you go.

Genesis 33:18 And Jacob came to Shalem, a city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Padanaram; and pitched his tent before the city.
19 And he bought a parcel of a field, where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem's father, for an hundred pieces of money.
Joshua 24:32 And the bones of Joseph, which the children of Israel brought up out of Egypt, buried they in Shechem, in a parcel of ground which Jacob bought of the sons of Hamor the father of Shechem for an hundred pieces of silver: and it became the inheritance of the children of Joseph.
Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
Jubilees 45:14 And Israel blessed his sons before he died and told them everything that would befall them in the land of Egypt; and he made known to them what would come upon them in the last days, and blessed them and gave to Joseph two portions in the land.
But it remains to inquire how he may be said to have obtained it by his sword, whereas the inhabitants had been wickedly and cruelly slain by Simon and Levi. How then could it be acquired by the right of conquest, from those against whom war had been unjustly brought; or rather, against whom, without any war, the most cruel perfidy had been practiced? Jerome resorts to allegory, saying that the field was obtained by money, which is called strength, or justice. Others suppose a prolepsis, as if Jacob was speaking of a future acquisition of the land: a meaning which, though I do not reject, seems yet somewhat forced.
I rather incline to this interpretation: first, that he wished to testify that he had taken nothing by means of his two sons Simon and Levi; who, having raged like robbers, were not lawful conquerors, and had never obtained a single foot of land, after the perpetration of the slaughter. For, so far were they from gaining anything, that they compelled their father to fly; nor would escape have been possible, unless they had been delivered by miracle. When, however, Jacob strips them of their empty title, he transfers this right of victory to himself, as being divinely granted to him. For though he always held their wickedness in abhorrence, and will show his detestation of it in the next chapter Genesis 49:1; yet, because they had armed his whole household, they fought as under his auspices. Gladly would he have preserved the citizens of Shechem, a design which he was not able to accomplish; yet he appropriates to himself the land left empty and deserted by their destruction, because, for his sake, God had spared the murderers.
Tim's whole system is like a set-up of dominoes. When one falls they all fall. So, when I have proven, as I did in the 100 Clues review and in the 2 Esdras Lost Tribes videos review, that several of his videos are fraught with fraudulent claims, and I mean massively fraudulent claims which collapse his narrative and not mere nitpicking, then we can bet the house that all his other videos will have the same type of lies. From fake Hebrew etymologies of Philippine place names to deliberate misreadings of ancient maps and directions, as I have dug deeper and deeper into Timothy Jay Schwab's insanity that has proven to be the case. It is one crafty lie after another. His Answers in Jubilees series is no different. It will be interesting to see what kind of lies, damned lies, and utter nonsense he has concocted for his annotated Book of Enoch and the subsequent video series. Let's conclude with the words of Timothy Jay Schwab from video 52.
The pride and hubris of Timothy Jay Schwab knows no bounds. Unlike Tim there are men out there who have devoted their whole life to studying the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Book of Jubilees. They have learned the languages and actually handled the scrolls. They have familiarized themselves with the thought of Second Temple Judaism. They have published numerous articles and books about every aspect of the Scrolls and Jubilees imaginable. And yet these men are "stupid." Having listened to this series I can say unequivocally that Tim is absolutely not qualified to talk about the Book of Jubilees. Timothy Jay Schwab is a clueless moron who cares more about his own ideology than making an honest assessment of this book. Nothing he says about it is true. It is not Torah, it was never Torah, and it contradicts the Bible at a fundamental level which is that the law was given on Sinai to Moses and Christ has done away with it by enacting a new covenant. Jubilees teaches the Patriarchs had the Mosaic law and kept it, including all the feasts. Not only that but it also includes a prophecy that the law will be restored in the last days.
The law is not going to ever be restored. The scripture is very clear that the law is the ministration of death (2 Corinthians 3:6-8) and is a schoolmaster to lead us to Jesus Christ (Galatians 3:24-25). He has come and now the law is no more. We are no longer under its constraints. Tim is living in a fantasy world thinking that the law will be restored at some future point. It is quite revealing how excited he is for the law and how dismissive he is of the grace that is only to be found in Jesus Christ. This issue, the rejection of the grace that is in Christ and the exaltation of the law, is proof positive that Jubilees was written not by Moses but by a Jewish sectarian who wished to show his people the greatness of the law as opposed to the Hellenistic culture of his day. The Book of Jubilees is not scripture and its message is a lie. |
