Satan Myth: On Zionist Biblical Commentaries and the identity of the lion from whose mouth Paul was delivered.

Dear in Christ,


As I have stated several times, Biblical Commentaries often hide the truth and attempt to absolve the real culprits of their misdeeds.

2 Tim 4:17 Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I WAS DELIVERED OUT OF THE MOUTH OF THE LION."

If you look up various commentaries on this verse, you will come across two types of interpretations:

1. Paul was thrown in front of the lions in one of the Roman amphitheaters.
2. Some of the historians have termed Caesars as lions, and hence the talk is about Paul escaping from the wrath of one of the Caesars.

Do you know something? The incident that Paul is alluding here happened years before he set his foot in Rome. Moreover, it's unusual for a Roman citizen to be thrown in front of the lions in a Roman amphitheater.

Have you noticed that the verse starts with a preposition or conjunction (notwithstanding / but)? How often do we start a sentence or statement with a preposition/conjunction? Isn't it obvious that this verse is a continuation of what has been stated previously? So, let's read the previous verse:

2Tim 4:16: "AT MY FIRST ANSWER (^G627, defense) no man stood with me, but all men forsook me: I pray God that it may not be laid to their charge."

So, the Lord delivering Paul from the mouth of the lion occurred in Paul's first defense (the Greek word translated as defense is apologia, G627 in Strong's lexicon).

It can't be just a coincidence that the very first time the word defense (Greek: apologia) has been used in the New Testament is when Paul uttered the word while making his defense in front of the Jewish council!

Acts 22:1: "Men, brethren, and fathers, hear ye my DEFENSE^G627 which I make now unto you."

Paul arrived in Jerusalem a few days before this defense (Acts 21:15), and was in the temple, accompanying 4 Jewish Christian brethren who were performing their purification rituals, on conclusion of their Nazarite vow. (Acts 21:23-24).

Some of the Jews from Asia Minor laid hands on him, accusing him of bringing Greeks inside the temple. (Acts 21:27-29).

Jews wanted to kill Paul, but the Roman soldiers rescued him and brought him to the chief captain who gave Paul the permission to make his DEFENSE (Acts 21:32-36) and that's the defense we read in Acts 22. (I leave out details of who were those men who forsook Paul - 2Tim 4:16 and how the Lord delivered him, for the sake of brevity.) It was at this occasion that Paul was delivered from the mouth of the lion. There are no amphitheaters or Caesars involved, it was right there in Jerusalem and the lions were Jews.

Do you think that it takes rocket science to connect the first defense of Paul to Acts 22:1? If you don't, why didn't all those great theologians and Biblical scholars of last two millennia didn't connect these passages? The answer, my friend, is fairly simple: they are Zionists who seek to absolve Jews of every kind of wrongdoing.

Moreover, once you realize that the lion intended in 2Tim 4:17 were Jews, you will easily identity "the Devil which moves around like a roaring lion" (1Pet 5:8) also was about the Jews.

Beware of Zionist commentaries!

In Christ,
