Israel is mentioned 2,489 times in the King James Version of the Bible.
Article by Joseph Farah from WND.
It is mentioned 70 times in the Greek scriptures.
It might suggest that God finds it really important, really key to understanding, perhaps even essential to comprehend who and what Israel is about. It’s one the few nations that still exists since the time of Abraham – a time when there was no America, no Rome, no Great Britain, no Babylon.
But many – perhaps most – think God’s eternal covenant with Abraham is different, somehow changed, that God somehow abandoned Israel despite his promises, His commandments, His Torah.
Where do they get these ideas? They seem to think God changed His mind despite that Bible explicitly affirming He’s the “the same yesterday, today and tomorrow.” (Hebrews 13:8)
By contrast, you might be shocked by what word is not found in either the “Old Testament” or “New Testament” – except as a mistranslation.
Want to take a guess?
It’s “church.”
How could that be?
You’ve seen the word “church” some 111 times in the King James Bible, the same holds true for the modern versions.
But, what is the Greek word that was translated as “church” into English? Ekklesia. The word ekklesia means, assembly or congregation – two words that were available to the translators.
The problem is this: The Hebrew uses the word assembly and congregation over 400 times. The word “church” indicates that Jesus came to create a new body of people, but in fact he was continuing to build the same assembly/congregation he created from the beginning.
There was no intent by the apostles to start a new faith. They already had one – started by God.
God did not create a new religion and dump the faith of Abraham, Moses and David.
Perhaps the greatest myth created since then is the idea that God wholesale changed his teachings – rendering His everlasting commandments replaced, watered down or even eradicated. Sin was essentially redefined or abrogated.
The truth is God had no such thing in mind. His Torah was meant as a blessing to believers.
There is no hint of this idea in the Bible. Yet there are millions of Jews and Christians under this delusion because of rampant false teachings by those the prophets called “wolves in sheep’s clothing.”
Jesus came to do many things, to fulfill many roles, to clarify, to speak only the words given Him to speak by the Father and, most of all, to atone for our sins by dying on the cross and being resurrected as the long-awaited Messiah.
He also came to be a light to the Gentiles – making His coming Kingdom available to them playing by essentially the same rules as the Hebrew people.
He also gave us this warning:
“Wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it,” Jesus said in Matthew 7 verses 13-14.
And later in Matthew 7, verses 21-23:
“Beware of false prophets. … Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.”
Have you ever read those words with bewilderment, or even with fear and trembling? Who are these people who call Jesus “Lord,” prophesy, cast out demons and do wonderful works – all in his name – but are turned away on Judgment Day? Have you wrestled with that question?
Don’t many teachers today say that Jesus came to give us an easier path to salvation – to unburden us of the law, which was such a stumbling block under the old covenant?
The Apostle John, who lived well into A.D. 90, wrote simply and articulately about the BIG PICTURE.
“My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ [Messiah] the righteous:” he wrote in 1 John 2:1-4. “And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.”
John was trying to make it simple. But theologians have made it complicated.
From the beginning, it has been the same story for the Hebrew people. Later, the Good News of the Gospel came to the Gentile world, enabling them to be grafted into the eternal covenant between God and His chosen people.
KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS! Love them all. Remember, they are not burdensome. We serve a forgiving God. He is merciful!
There is no easier path. Be contrite with God when you come up short. From the very beginning, it’s always been the same story – except Jesus died for our sins. God still expects us to keep all His statutes or be fully repentant.

American Patriots Uniting to Fight Tyranny from, Well, Everywhere
We’re building a new conservative news network. Based on responses from fellow patriots, we’re heading in the right direction.
It may be hard to believe based on what we’re seeing around the nation today, but there are many reasons to be hopeful. First and foremost, the false narrative that most of America hates traditional values or the foundations of our nation are finally being proven false. Despite the best efforts of globalists and Neo-Marxists, patriotic Americans are starting to unify in droves. Meanwhile, Joe Biden can barely muster a half-filled auditorium to deliver his message to the scant few watching CNN and the paid shills in the “crowd.”
The “silent majority” that drove Donald Trump to victory in 2016 and 2020 (yes, he won by a landslide but was robbed along with the American people) is finally starting to realize we cannot stay silent any longer. We used to win with our votes, but those are being stolen. We used to win with truth, but the radical left and their agents in mainstream media, Big Tech, and academia are building a post-truth society to drown out reality. Today, we are waking up to the realization that only through direct action and fearlessly spreading the truth can we overcome the nefarious forces working against us.
We are proud to be working our way up to the tip of the conservative media spear. Our network is growing. We’re establishing strong partnerships with like-minded news outlets and courageous journalists. Even as Big Tech suppresses us, the honest messages they’re trying to quash are finding their way to the eyes and ears of patriots across the nation. With the help of new content partners like The Epoch Times and The Liberty Daily, we’re starting to see a real impact.
Our network is currently comprised of nine sites:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Truth. Based. Media.
- Freedom First Network
- Based Underground
- Uncanceled News
- American Conservative Movement
- Conservative Playbook
- Our Gold Guy
Some of our content is spread across all of these sites. Other pieces of content are unique. We write most of what we post but we also draw from those willing to allow us to share their quality articles, videos, and podcasts. We collect the best content from fellow conservative sites that give us permission to republish them. We’re not ego-driven; I’d much rather post a properly attributed story written by experts like Dr. Joseph Mercola or Natural News than rewrite it like so many outlets like to do. We’re not here to take credit. We’re here to spread the truth.
The slow and steady reopening of America is revealing there was a lot more economic hardship brought about from the Covd-19 lockdowns than most realize. While we continue to hope advertising dollars on the sites go up, it’s simply not enough to do things the right way. We are currently experiencing a gap between revenue and expenses that cannot be overcome by click-ads and MyPillow promos alone (promo code “NOQ” by the way).
To overcome our revenue gap and keep these sites running, our needs fluctuate between $2200-$7800 per month. May, 2021, for example, was amazing and we almost broke even. June, revenue was sluggish at best and we had to make up a big difference out of our pockets. But we’re not just trying to get out of the red. If and when we start getting enough contributions to expand, we will do just that. Very few get into journalism to try to get rich and we’re definitely not among those who do. Our success is driven by spreading the truth, profitable or not.
The best way you can help us grow and continue to bring proper news and opinions to the people is by donating. We appreciate everything, whether a dollar or $10,000. Anything brings us closer to a point of stability when we can hire writers, editors, and support staff to make the America First message louder. Our Giving Fuel page makes it easy to donate one-time or monthly. Alternatively, you can donate through PayPal or Bitcoin as well. Bitcoin: 3A1ELVhGgrwrypwTJhPwnaTVGmuqyQrMB8
Time is short. As the world spirals towards radical progressivism, the need for truthful journalism has never been greater. But in these times, we need as many conservative media voices as possible. Please help keep NOQ Report and the other sites in the network going. Our promise is this: We will never sell out America. If that means we’re going to struggle for a while or even indefinitely, so be it. Integrity first. Truth first. America first.
Thank you and God Bless,

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We just launched a GiveSendGo page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
