Christians Censor the Hebrew Bible

We jump ahead to February 2009. A friend of mine sent me an email, telling me about a large collection of Hebrew books on display in New York City. There was a link to a Yahoo news story, which I clicked on.

The Valmadonna Library Trust Collection of 11,000 Hebrew Bibles, books, and scrolls, was going to be auctioned by Sotheby’s. However, before the sale, the books would be on display, open to the public at Sotheby’s.

I went to Sotheby’s website and downloaded a brochure about the Valmadonna Library Trust Collection.

Much to my utter amazement, the brochure explained this collection contained some of the actual books that Christian theologians had censored! I became very excited about this. The evidence I had from the Aramaic Bible proved that Awan was correct in what he had told me. However, it was not the same as actually looking at and perhaps photographing the exact book the Christians had altered. I knew I had to go to Sotheby’s.

On Friday, February 13, 2009, I put my camera in my pocket, and a friend and I went to New York City to visit Sotheby’s.

When we arrived at the third-floor gallery, I was very excited. I immediately went to a security guard and asked him if he knew where the book that Christians had censored was located. He told me that he didn’t know and that I would have to ask one of the curators of the exhibit.

As soon as the guard finished his sentence, I heard someone else say, “Excuse me. I can show you exactly where that book is. I took a tour of this exhibit an hour ago, and I can take you to the book.”

My mind immediately flashed back to the guard at the Seton Hall parking lot, and my mind was beginning to go into that place it goes to when all I can think about is “I can’t believe this is happening.”

The man escorted me to the book. I asked him if taking pictures was allowed, and much to my further amazement it was permitted. This is how I was able to document and prove Awan’s statement: “Christian theologians censored the Hebrew Bible.”

The page displayed was in the Book of Psalms.

You will notice that to the 21st-century eye, this book will not look unusual. The markings on the page seem commonplace. Immediately, we associate using a highlighter (marker) to help us find the important information on the page.

We must realize, however, that in 1487, there were no highlighters, and no one wrote in books. These markings are crossing out words, the censor did not want in the book, preventing anyone from reading them.

What truly fascinated me about this whole experience is this evidence sought me out. I did not seek it. There were certain statements that Awan had said that I never tried to corroborate, because either I did not think the evidence existed or I did not know how to find it.

Slide37-G

 

 

 

 

 

This is an example of the latter. I had no idea how to find a book that had been censored, and because of the age of these books, I had no idea how to go and find one. It is very evident, that Spirit wanted me to have this evidence, and manipulated events and me so I would be at the right place at the right time of “find” the information.
