Abba in the Philippines? Ancient Echoes of the Name Rediscovered. The Name of God Series Extra

11/9/2025
Echoes of Abba in the Philippine History Long before the first missionaries arrived, the ancient peoples of the Philippines already spoke a name for the Father — Abba. From pre-colonial records to early explorer accounts, these echoes remain — whispers of a time when the Creator was known by His true Name. This short film explores the ancient roots of faith in the East — revealing how the worship of the Most High did not begin in the West but was preserved in the islands of gold. Could this be more than coincidence? Could these “echoes of Abba” be remnants of a covenant older than empire? 📖 Learn More in our NEW Children's Book Series: ➤ The Name of Yahuah — Adventures in the Light Series (for children and families) ➤ Restore the Name: The Covenant Voice Returns — book & study edition.

The Final Harvest: The True Season of Messiah’s Return - Part 2: Wheat vs. Tares

10/29/2025
https://youtu.be/f4AzxgarUrc Part 2 of our Fall Feasts prophecy series continues with the most powerful revelation yet: The pattern of the Spring and Fall Feasts reveals the entire prophetic timeline — from Messiah’s first coming to His return at the final harvest. We’ll examine the parable of the Wheat and Tares (Matthew 13), the resurrection in 1 Corinthians 15, and the final harvest in Revelation 14 to show how Yahusha was planted during Passover and Unleavened Bread, and why the harvest of His people happens in the Fall Feasts — Trumpets, Atonement, and Tabernacles. 🌾 In This Study You’ll Learn: The prophetic meaning of each Feast: Passover → Seed Planted | Pentecost → Early Harvest | Trumpets → Gathering of the Elect | Atonement → Judgment | Tabernacles → Elohim Dwelling with Man Why the wheat and tares grow together until the end of the age How the Spring Feasts foreshadow Messiah’s first coming and the Fall Feasts His return What Enoch prophesied about the final three “weeks” of world history Why knowing the season (not the date) of His coming fulfills Scripture No, we do not know the day or the hour — but yes, we can know the season. The Feasts of YHWH are not shadows of the past; they are blueprints of what’s to come. 📖 Scriptures Covered: Matthew 13 • John 12:24 • 1 Corinthians 15:20-23 • Revelation 14:14-15 • Enoch 92-93 • Leviticus 23 ✨ Stay Awake.

The Final Harvest: The True Season of Messiah’s Return - Part 1

10/28/2025
https://youtu.be/A37KsYb8Oew Many have claimed the rapture would happen on the Feast of Trumpets — and every date has failed. But Scripture gives us something far better than speculation: a prophetic pattern. In this study, we’ll uncover how the Fall Feasts — Trumpets, Atonement, and Tabernacles — reveal the season of the Second Coming, just as the Spring Feasts foretold Yahusha’s first coming. We’ll connect Matthew 24, the Parable of the Wheat and Tares (Matthew 13), and Revelation 14’s Final Harvest, showing how Yahusha was “planted” during the Spring Feasts and returns during the harvest season in the Fall. No, we do not know the day or the hour — but Scripture tells us we can know the season. Join us as we test this Biblically and expose false date-setters once and for all. 📖 Topics Covered: The prophetic pattern in the Fall Feasts Why the rapture is not on the Feast of Trumpets The connection between Yahusha’s parables and Revelation’s harvest The true meaning of Trumpets, Atonement, and Tabernacles What “watching” really means according to Messiah 🔔 Subscribe and Prove All Things! 🕊️ Shalom and Yah Bless! #TheGodCulture #FeastOfTrumpets #SecondComing #Prophecy #FallFeasts #BiblicalFeasts #Yahusha #EndTimes #BibleProphecy #FinalHarvest #Matthew24 #Revelation14 #Atonement #Tabernacles #RaptureMyth #ProveAllThings #TGCPhilippines #MessiahReturn #HebrewRoots #TruthInScripture Support the show

🎬 Revelation 20 UNDERSTOOD (Part 3) — The Final Judgment REWINDS, Not Repeats

10/23/2025
What if Revelation 20 doesn’t show TWO judgments… but ONE powerful Day of Judgment REPLAYED from Heaven’s vantage point? In this final installment, we prove that John is not fast-forwarding 1,000 years into a second judgment — he’s rewinding to complete the SAME DAY already seen. 🔥 In this episode, we break down: ✅ Why the Great White Throne is NOT a separate second judgment ✅ How “earth and heaven fleeing away” proves this is the first Day of Judgment ✅ Why the “Book of Life” opens ONLY ONCE — not twice ✅ Why no believers fall after Satan’s release ✅ Why there is NO “second resurrection for the wicked” ✅ How Scripture (John 5:25–29, Heb. 9:27) confirms a single global resurrection & judgment 📜 Revelation is not a straight timeline — it’s layered visions. John sees Satan’s end… then REWINDS to show humanity’s final judgment from Heaven’s view. This teaching dismantles modern doctrines that insert a second rebellion of humans, a second second-death, or a second re-creation of Earth — all of which would break Scripture. 📖 Referenced in this video: Revelation 20:6, 11–15 Revelation 13:8, 17:8 John 5:25–29 Hebrews 9:27 Isaiah 58:12 (Restorer of the Foundations) 📌 Read the full Smoking Quill blog breakdown here 👉 TheSmokingQuill.org (link placeholder) 📺 Missed Part 1 or 2?

The First Resurrection & The Second Death: Revelation 20 Fully Explained | The God Culture

10/19/2025
Welcome back to The God Culture. Today, we’re diving deep into Revelation 20 — one of the most misunderstood passages in all of Scripture. Many have been taught multiple resurrections or separated judgments, but the Bible says otherwise. This chapter defines two outcomes, not two resurrections: The First Resurrection — for believers who reign with Messiah. The Second Death — for the ungodly, consumed in final judgment. In this teaching, we reveal how Yahusha’s return, the Day of Judgment, and the 1,000-year reign all align perfectly with the prophetic record — from Matthew 25 to 2 Esdras, 1 Enoch, and Jubilees. There is no delay between resurrection and judgment. It all happens in one day — the Day of Yahuah.

If the Junk Don't Fit... Pinto’s Lequios Were Filipino, Not Ryukyuan. Finding Pinto 6 Lequios 10

9/2/2025
Who were the mysterious Lequios described by Portuguese explorer Fernão Mendes Pinto? Were they peaceful tributaries from Okinawa’s Ryukyu Islands… or a sovereign, seafaring power in Luzon? In Peregrinação (~1558), Pinto describes ships that were: ⚓ Vast, ocean-faring, multi-decked ⚓ Built with double-thick planks fastened by iron bolts ⚓ Armed with warrior crews, stronger than Chinese junks ⚓ Both traders and fighters — not just ceremonial emissaries Ryukyu’s small tribute junks simply don’t fit. But pre-Hispanic Philippine ships — the Karakoa and Balangay — match perfectly. Archaeology, chroniclers, and cultural history confirm it. This is another smoking quill of evidence that the Lequios were Filipinos, not Ryukyuans. 👉 Read the full article here: https://thegodculturephilippines.com/pinto-s-lequios-were-not-ryukyuan-the-ships-that-tell-the-truth/ 🔔 Subscribe for more suppressed history and biblical archaeology rediscovered. 📖 Download our free eBook The Search for King Solomon’s Treasure in English, Tagalog, or Ilokano at thegodculture.org.

Archaeology Proves Ophir Was in the Philippines (Not Japan’s Ryukyu). Finding Pinto 5 Lequios 9

8/27/2025
Fernao Mendes Pinto described a shipwreck in the Land of Gold — Lequios, which Barbosa and Magellan equated with Ophir. For centuries, the debate has raged: Was it the Philippines or Ryukyu? This is valid academic history from primary sources. And when we test the evidence — geography, archaeology, culture, and resources — the case for Ryukyu collapses while the Philippines stands undeniable. Geography: Luzon (109,000 km²) dwarfs Okinawa (1,200 km²). Pinto knew the difference. Culture: Pre-colonial Ivatan stone homes with basements and pagoda-like structures align with Pinto’s record. Ryukyu? No basements. Archaeology: Excavations in Batanes reveal jade workshops, nephrite tools, and Maritime Jade Route trade networks connecting Luzon, Taiwan, and Vietnam. Ryukyu is missing entirely. Resources: Gold, ivory, silver — all in the Philippines. Ryukyu had none. 📖 Read the full sources and evidence on our blog The Smoking Quill: 👉 https://thegodculturephilippines.com/the-smoking-quill-series/ This is not fringe speculation — it’s primary academic history. The real Lequios is the Philippines, not Ryukyu.

🐎 The Forgotten Horses of the Philippines: Finding Pinto 3. Return of the Lequios 7

8/16/2025
They told you horses came to the Philippines with the Spanish... but the evidence proves otherwise. Long before the conquistadors arrived, Malay Muslims, Chinese traders, and Japanese merchants brought horses into the archipelago. So why has history erased them? In this video, we uncover the forgotten truth of ancient Philippine horses, using the 1916 research of David B. Mackie, a U.S. agricultural officer who documented the origins of Philippine horse breeds — long before American or Spanish influence. He traced them back to Sumatra, Mindanao, China, and Japan — not Spain. And the evidence is undeniable. 📚 Read the full blog + download the original source article here: 🔗 https://thegodculturephilippines.com/the-forgotten-horses-of-the-philippines/ ✅ What you’ll learn in this video: Who really brought horses to the Philippines Why kuda and kura prove pre-Spanish horse culture How the Sulu Sultanate traded horses centuries before the Spanish The real sources of Luzon horse breeds (China, Japan — not Spain) Why colonial historians buried this truth 📌 Based on: “Philippine Horses: First Brought to the Islands from Malaysia—Later by the Spaniards from China and Japan” by David B.

In this deep-dive investigation, we compare Antonio de Morga Pinto’s descriptions of “Lequios” with the real geography, resources, and trade records of the Philippines and Ryukyu. From gold and craftsmanship to ancient trade routes, wheat, wine, and ebonywood, the Philippines—particularly Northern Luzon—matches 100% of the historical profile, while Ryukyu barely reaches 15%.

Finding Pinto – The Lequios Mystery (Part 1) Return of the Lequios 5

7/22/2025
Was Fernão Mendes Pinto telling the truth all along? Historians have long dismissed him as a liar, but newly reexamined evidence from Castanheda’s 1883 texts, Pinto’s own journal, and historical coordinates suggest otherwise. For centuries, the mysterious land of the Lequios was assumed to be the Ryukyu Islands — but what if that was never correct? What if the real Lequios was much farther south... in the Philippines? In this first episode, we break down the geography, original sources, Pinto’s shipwreck letter, and the surprising manipulation of his legacy — and begin unraveling one of the most misunderstood accounts in exploration history. 🧭 In this episode: Pinto’s letter and the 250-league mystery Castanheda’s coordinates and descriptions Why the Ryukyu theory doesn’t add up The overlooked case for Northern Philippines (Batanes, Luzon) How colonial bias and Jesuit edits reshaped Pinto’s story And why it’s time to test facts, not mock fiction 📚 Sources Referenced: Historia do descobrimento e conquista da India pelos Portugueses by Fernão Lopes de Castanheda (1883) The Travels of Mendes Pinto – translated by Rebecca D.

The Lequian Survivors: A Shipwreck That Rewrites Southeast Asian History. Return of Lequios 4

7/20/2025
In 1610, Spanish pilot Juan Bernardo de Fuentidueñas survived a wreck near Macao — but what he discovered next would shake centuries of historical assumptions. On a remote reef, he encountered three indigenous survivors. His chronicle described them not as Japanese, Ryukyuan, or Chinese... but as Lequian Indians. For over 400 years, historians have believed Lequios = Ryukyu. But what if we’ve been wrong? Drawing from firsthand accounts preserved in The Philippine Islands, 1493–1898 (Blair & Robertson, Vol. XVI), this documentary uncovers stunning new evidence that Lequios was not in Japan — but right here in Northern Luzon, Philippines. 🌊 Who were the Lequians? 📜 What did Spanish navigators really mean by Lequios? 🧭 And why has this account been ignored for so long? This is The Smoking Quill’s deep dive into the forgotten corners of colonial history. 📚 Sources Blair, Emma Helen, and James Alexander Robertson, eds. The Philippine Islands, 1493–1898, Vol. XVI.

175 Leagues to Truth: The Real Lequios Was Never Ryukyu. Return of the Lequios Part 2

7/4/2025
What if the real Lequios wasn’t Ryukyu… but Luzon all along? In this eye-opening deep dive, we expose the long-buried truth behind Duarte Barbosa’s “175 leagues to the east”—a footnote that leads straight to the Philippines. Journey through maps, records, and forgotten evidence as we reveal that the powerful maritime empire known as Lequios was never Okinawan… it was Luzon and Batanes. We break down the 16th-century evidence, expose how Jesuit cartography rewrote geography, and unleash the “Jesuit Shrink Ray” that shrunk the China Sea just to fit an agenda. This isn’t conspiracy. It’s cartographic confession. ✅ Topics Covered: Barbosa’s 175-league clue decoded Why Lequios = Luzon, not Ryukyu Trade wealth, gold bars, and “very good wheat” Adlay wheat, Elemi resin, and the incense trade Over 10 royal maps confirming Luzon as Lequios Mendes Pinto’s 250-league bombshell How the Jesuits distorted the distances The collapse of Ryukyu Theory The truth wasn’t buried.

📜 Return of the Lequios: Uncovering the Lost Identity of Pre-Colonial Filipinos 🇵🇭

7/4/2025
Long before the Philippines was known by its modern name, it was home to a powerful and wealthy civilization—the Lequios. Described by Portuguese explorers like Antonio Galvão and marked on 16th-century maps like the Dourado Map, the Lequios were skilled shipbuilders, traders in gold, and a dominant presence in Southeast Asia. So why were they erased from mainstream history? In this video, we dive into forgotten archives and ancient maps to explore how the Lequios were not Japanese as some believe—but pre-colonial Filipinos. Evidence places them in Luzon, trading up and down the coasts, with links to major volcanic events like the eruption of Mount Pinatubo. From the capital of a majestic city to gold-rich trade routes in Pangasinan and La Union—this is a legacy worth reclaiming. ✨ Discover the truth that colonial propaganda tried to erase. 📚 Read more on our blog: https://thegodculturephilippines.com 👉 Subscribe, Like & Share to help reclaim the history of the Filipino people. #Lequios #PhilippineHistory #LostCivilization #PreColonialPhilippines #Galvao #DouradoMap #AncientMaps #FilipinoHeritage #TheGodCulture #Ophir #LuzonHistory #ReclaimHistory #HiddenHistory #MountPinatubo #AncientAsia #TruthInHistory Support the show

Mercator vs the Jesuits: The Lequios Were Filipino, Not Japanese | The Smoking Quill

6/28/2025
In 1538, Gerardus Mercator published a world map that preserved one of the last cartographic witnesses to an ancient truth—labeling the Lequii Populi at 10°N, right in the Philippines, not Japan or Ryukyu. This episode of The Smoking Quill exposes how Jesuit and colonial manipulation led to centuries of geographic confusion, wrongly relocating the Lequios and Zipangu to Japan. But Mercator’s early maps, along with Ptolemy’s Barusse and Basacata Isles, all point to the Philippines as the ancient Isles of Gold, Aurea Chersonesus. From Barbosa’s 1516 identification of the Lequios in Luzon, to Mercator’s correction of Ptolemaic errors in 1569, we trace a clear cartographic trail to Luzon, Mindanao, and Palawan as the real ancient lands of gold—Chryse, Barusse, and Basacata. 🗺️ This isn’t theory—it’s documented truth. And even as Mercator eventually bowed to colonial pressure, his maps preserve the original memory. The truth was never erased.

The Barley Hoax: Exposing the Modified Grain Behind the Modern Biblical Calendar

5/19/2025
The truth is in the field — and it’s been altered. Every year, the Aviv barley inspection claims to guide Yah’s calendar. But what if the barley being inspected in Israel today… is genetically modified? Selectively bred for speed? Planted for fodder, not faith? In this exposé, we uncover how modern Israeli barley and wheat are no longer the signs of the biblical year — and how the priestly calendar never relied on them in the first place.
