(Hebrew) Ish

People of the Sun

The ancient city Beth-Shemesh in Egypt meant “House of the Sun” and was later called Heliopolis or “City of the Sun” by the Greeks. The Hebrew word Shemesh may mean sun, yet it is a double-entendre, for it may also be a contraction for Shem and ish, and mean people of Shem. Ever since the days of Noah, it was the descendants of Shem who were chosen out to carry forth God's will in the earth, and the offspring were narrowed down from there to focus on the seed of Abraham, and Jacob after him. A shining city on a hill cannot be hidden. Upon the acceptance of the Word of God and the break from tyranny found in the Reformation, the White Christian nations of the world have made many marvelous accomplishments. By this alone we should know that we are indeed the people of God, and this is exactly what is described in Revelation chapters 10 and 11, and Daniel chapter 7.
