Everyday in Israel on my way to Jerusalem for work, driving from my place in Modiin, you can see these amazing man-made terraces resembling steps that are carved into the sides of the steep hills as you drive along the main highway and ascend up into Jerusalem. There are no flat lands so this is how our people were able to turn the hills into farmlands by making a series of receding flat platforms. They span for miles and you just scratch your head at the thought that people did all of this work.
This landscaping technique cannot be found in North America. However, it can be found in Madbar (the wilderness in the far east) where I am located now. It’s one of the first things that caught my eye when I came to the Philippines from Israel in 2011 because it immediately reminded me of my long drives to Jerusalem every morning.
It also solidified my understanding that the Philippines is where the biblical land of Opayr (Ophir), which formerly was the location of the Garden of Ghadan (Eden), is really located. It was renamed Opayr by Yaktan’s (Joktan’s) descendants who settled here after they were scattered from the tower of Babal in the Fertile Crescent.
The Filipino dialects contain noticeable traces of the language of Ghabar (Hebrew), the universal language of mankind prior to the tower of Babal, and this is what one would expect given that Yaktan was the son of Ghabar and Ghabar maintained the pure language for his progeny after the tower of Babal.
King Shalamah (Solomon) sent his servants here to fetch gold, algum trees, and precious stones (2 Chronicles 9:10-11). He used the algum trees from Opayr to make TERRACES up to the House of YA’OH and up to his own royal palace.
It makes perfect sense that Shalamah’s servants saw the terraces of Opayr (in places like Banaue, Ifugao) and then told Shalamah all about them in great detail. Shalamah then used the trees he imported from Opayr to imitate the technique and make terraces ascending up to the House of YA’OH and to his own house in Yaroshalam. Our people then got busy in the hilly and mountainous terrain of our land and built terraces for farming.
The holy land is NOT located anywhere in North America. Our land is located between modern Egypt and modern Turkey. Always has. The landscape of the holy land bears similarities to what one sees in the Philippines because the Philippines is where Shalamah got his gold and his idea to build artificial terraces.
When the remnant of Ya’ohsharal establishes itself in the wooded mountains of the second wilderness, we will construct terraces for farming just like our ancestors did in our promised land after the servants of Shalamah told him about the ones they saw in Opayr.
Our Redeemer and our Rock has much work for His chosen to do.
His name is YA’OH
Always has been. Always will be.
Delightful!!!
