In 720 BC, Shalmansar invaded the lands of the Ten Northern Tribes who’d left Judah because of the high taxes imposed by Solomon’s son, Rehoboam. Separated from God’s Only Temple at the time, they gave in to their perennial urge to worship golden calves.
Today’s Reading is from 2 Kings 17: 5-8, 13-15, and verse 18. It describes three important things. First, it tells us where the Northern Tribes were sent. Second, it tells us where most of our own ancestors originated. Third, it tells us what happens to the disobedient, which our nations are. The only history we need.
“Shalmaneser, king of Assyria, occupied the whole land and attacked Samaria, which he besieged for three years. In the ninth year of Hoshea, king of Israel the king of Assyria took Samaria, and deported the children of Israel to Assyria, setting them in Halah, at the Habor, a river of Gozan, and the cities of the Medes.
This came about because the children of Israel sinned against the LORD, their God, who had brought them up from the land of Egypt, from under the domination of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and because they venerated other gods. They followed the rites of the nations whom the LORD had cleared out of the way of the children of Israel and the kings of Israel whom they set up.”
And though the LORD warned Israel and Judah by every prophet and seer, “Give up your evil ways and keep my commandments and statutes, in accordance with the entire law which I enjoined on your fathers and which I sent you by my servants the prophets,” they did not listen, but were as stiff-necked as their fathers, who had not believed in the LORD, their God. They rejected his statutes, the covenant which he had made with their fathers, and the warnings which he had given them, till, in his great anger against Israel, the LORD put them away out of his sight. Only the tribe of Judah was left.”
The exiled tribes were sent between the headwaters of the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. From there, the Tribes, still maintaining their identities and pagan worship, moved outwards. They came to be known as Scythians, Goths, Angles, Saxons, and all the many, many tribes from which most peoples West of China, North of central India, and North of the Sahara are descended.
The past shows what will happen to us: “This came about because the children of Israel sinned against the LORD, their God, who had brought them up from the land of Egypt, from under the domination of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and because they venerated other gods. They followed the rites of the nations whom the LORD had cleared out of the way of the children of Israel and the kings of Israel whom they set up.The pain, poverty, and suffering of exile was visited on those who ignored God’s warning.”
Like our ancestors, we have ignored the warnings of His priests, and prophets, in God’s only Church, the one founded by the Messiah. Our nations have embraced abortion and sin. As a result of our sins, the leadership of our nations has been given to the sons of Ishmael. They, the scourge of God, hate us. They have bribed their way into control of our governments. Every day, we grow weaker and they become stronger as God’s forces of purification gather strength.
Our only recourse is to come together, in The Only Church He Founded, and present a united front against the evil within and without. The current fragmentation of His Church into 40,000 divisive denominations is destroying us.
We are on our way to death and exile. We will reunite as obedient Catholics, or we will be erased. The only history we need.
