Baruch,
I was given the name Benjamin in a vision of David Koresh in 2000. I don't wish to argue doctrine nor get into cat fighting. But will do things here at this time, first testify.
I had the known the name Benjamin for almost 9 months, actually it may have been just over. I knew that the tribes of Judah and Benjamin formed Judah, the land. I knew as much from my earlier light in the Baptist church. I had never gotten into the Hebrew much...I still haven't, but I know whom I serve. I trust him to guide me into all truth. I met a Semite Jew. An orthodox Jew, under unusual circumstances. We talked of David Koresh, It was he who told me the meaning of the name Benjamin. Mystery.
Son of the Right Hand. He asked me about the name Koresh... A Jew, Fluent in Hebrew. I told him that I had been to visit the survivors at Waco. I told him that I had discussed such with them and was told that the name was a version of Cyrus, after King Cyrus who Conquered Babylon and freed the Jews. It no sooner fell from my lips before he began teaching me, He knew immediately what had been done and why, evidently such practice had precedant. Funny to me your explanation...in light of the fact that one who spoke fluent Hebrew should have asked me...What does the Name Koresh mean? He only looked more puzzled at my answer...until I illuminated with further explanation. The explanation given above. I told him..."it's Hebrew."
I told you I would do two things. The second...I will give the benefit of the doubt...for sake of harmony. I will investigate further. I will try to Speak to Clive or Ron in the next days...Ron is also A semite Jew, whether or not he is Fluent in Hebrew I do not know...but I will also vistit the local synagogue and I will inquire from a rabbi the meaning of this Hebrew word.
I will post my findings later. You answer the questions which promote your doctrine, now I have answered the questions you would ask to do the same. I ask you again Baruch...Have you read my testimony?
