Was Deuteronomy 17:15 used by John Jay for the natural born citizen clause and Emerich Vattel use ancient Hebrew to define the conditions of birth for a natural born citizen?
Does this verse identify Obama as a usurper?

The results may astound you.

Was a secondary source of inspiration for the natural born Citizen clause in Article II used by the Framers of the Constitution. Although Vattel defines the conditions at birth necessary to make one a natural born citizen, and John Jay specifically calls for a natural born citizen to be Commander in Chief, was Jay's concerns born in isolation to have the Framers pen the clause,

No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States. Article II, Section 1, Clause 5

Joseph Story, in his Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States, speaks of a “great fundamental policy of all governments” concerning a natural born citizen as the head of state. Was he referring to the policy of inheritance, that is te Prince would inherit the crown of his father? Considering that the Founding Father utterly rejected the concept of nobility, this could not he the case. However, the idea of kingship among the clan, goes back to Moses. There is no doubt that the Founding Fathers were men of deep religious conviction, who sought guidance from scripture, and it just so happens there is one verse in the Jewish text of the bible. Found in Chapter 17 of the fifth book of the Bible, Deuteronomy.

you shall surely set him king over yourselves, whom the Lord your God shall choose: one from among your brothers you shall set king over you; you may not put a foreigner over you, who is not your brother. Deuteronomy 17:15

It looks pretty similar to me. The Israelites were to install a brother as king. The word brother is ach (Strong's H0251) and is defined below.

אח 'ach a primitive word; TWOT - 62a; n m AV - brethren 332, brother 269, another 23, brotherly 1, kindred 1, like 1, another 1, other 1; 629 1) brother 1a) brother of same parents 1b) half-brother (same father) 1c) relative, kinship, same tribe 1d) each to the other (reciprocal relationship) 1e) (fig.) of resemblance

In fact the word for brother has parental elements of Vattel's natural born citizen, in that kinship is derived from the father as Vattel said citizenship was.

The chances are that John Jay or Vattel did not “invent” the natural born citizen clause are real, and that they took inspiration from Scripture. So, one may ask who did the Founding Fathers considered their “brothers.” A person who was by nature, born an American, who is the natural born Citizen, would be a brother, and one who shared in the risks and trails of the Revolution, that a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, is another form of brother the Israelites would have understood. Even this could have come from Hebrews Chapter 11.

“All these people were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised; they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance. And they admitted that they were aliens and strangers on earth. People who say such things show that they are looking for a country of their own. They had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had opportunity to return. Instead, they were longing for a better country—a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.” Hebrews 11:13-16

The biggest difference between these two is that the US Constitution is saying who may hold the office of the President, while Deuteronomy is saying who may not the office, a foreigner.

Obama’s full Hebrew name is ברק חוסיין אובאמה yet he used אובמה in his campaign literature. This is wrong, because Obama took advantage of a spelling rule in Hebrew. What you see missing in his campaign spelling and the correct spelling is an alef א in the middle. Obama choose to use what is called in Hebrew k’tav h aser, or the “missing spelling,” which is reserved for Hebrew and Semitic words only. In this way, he could appear more Jewish. However, Obama is a foreigner and a foreign name, in this case the proper spelling of his name is to use k’tav malei, or “full spelling” which includes the alef א in the middle to show there is a vowel that needs to be pronounced. The k’tav malei is used to help pronounce foreign words, and keep in mind the word foreigner, because this is important.

Barack Hussien Obama ברק חוסיין אובאמה has a gematria value of 501. Yet, the word for foreigner nokriy (Strong's H5237, see definition below) has a value of 280.

נכרי nokriy from 05235 (second form); TWOT - 1368c; adj AV - stranger 18, strange 17, alien 4, strange woman 3, foreigner 2, outlandish 1, stranger + 0376 1; 45 1) foreign, alien 1a) foreign 1b) foreigner (subst) 1c) foreign woman, harlot 1d) unknown, unfamiliar (fig.)

In fact all the Hebrew words for foreigner did not have a value of 501. Which include גר “ger” that has a value of 203 and תושב “towshab” which has a value of 708.

This is not to say that the number 501 is insignificant to Obama. Some words with a value of 501 are ישמעאלים meaning Ishmeelite or a descendent of Ishamael (ישמעאל) who is the father of muslims, as in Obama's declaration of “my Muslim faith” and ראש rosh whose meaning is chief or head which can refer to the President, or Commander in Chief. Even Obama's campaign promise number 501 has great significance in identifying who Obama really is.

Actually the work of Joel Gallis and Dr. Robert Wolf shows Obama's name is encoded in Ezekiel 38:2-3. His name starts right before the word Rosh, at the end of the word for “prince,”which is נשיא nasiy, and it ends on the word יהוה YHUH which is the word for the name of God. It has a skip sequence of 7.


בן אדם שים פניך אל גוג ארץ המגוג נשיא ראש משך ותבל והנבא עליו
ואמרת כה אמר אדני יהוה הנני אליך גוג נשיא ראש משך ותבל


Obama is coded in red letters and rosh in blue.


In English the verses are,


Son of man, set your face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him, and say, thus says the Lord GOD, “Behold I am against you O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal.”


Returning to issue of prohibiting a foreigner from the head of government found in Deuteronomy 17:15, we find ourselves with a question, more than a statement. This question is, “who is not your brother?”


It seemed like Obama was not being implicated, as there were no bible codes with his name intersecting this verse, as they did in Daniel 7:25 and Ezekiel 38:2-3. Nor was his name spoken out loud as it was in the Aramaic of Jesus when he said in Luke Chapter 10, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.”





you shall surely set him king over yourselves, whom the Lord your God shall choose: one from among your brothers you shall set king over you; you may not put a foreigner over you, who is not your brother.

שום תשים עליך מלך אשר יבחר יהוה אלהיך בו מקרב אחיך תשים עליך מלך לא תוכל לתת עליך איש נכרי אשר לא אחיך הוא


Returning to the phrase that could be a question, “who is not your brother,” look carefully at Hebrew, אשר לא אחיך הוא. The word for who is אשר asher, (Strong's H0834)

אשר 'asher a primitive relative pronoun (of every gender and number); TWOT - 184 AV - which, wherewith, because, when, soon, whilst, as if, as when, that, until, much, whosoever, whereas, wherein, whom, whose; 111 1) (relative part.) 1a) which, who 1b) that which 2) (conj) 2a) that (in obj clause) 2b) when 2c) since 2d) as 2e) conditional if

If you look closely at asher אשר and rosh ראש you will see they have the same letters, which means they have the same value as Obama's full name ברק חוסיין אובאמה of 501.

The key is that the phrase can be used as both a question or a statement and it is the word “who” that becomes the identifier, or the “fill-in-the-blank.”

Gematria is a part of Revelation Chapter 13:18 where it says “This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man’s number. His number is 666.” It is not a stretch of the imagination to also apply the same rule to other identifiers found in the bible. In this particular case the word “who” becomes an identifier.


So mathematically the total sum of the phrases would be identical.

אשר לא אחיך הוא = who is not your brother.

ברק חוסיין אובאמה לא אחיך הוא = Barack Hussien Obama is not your brother.


Both phrases have a gematria value of 700.


I know many will say that because Obama was identified as Rosh in the bible, there for he was selected by God to be our ruler. There are several verses in both Hebrew and Christian scripture that would support this idea, such as Daniel and the epistles of Paul and Peter.

“And he changeth the times and the seasons; He removeth kings, and setteth up kings; he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding. He revealeth the deep and secret things; he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him."Daniel 2:20-22

“Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme, or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well. ... Honour the king." I Peter 2:13-17

“For there is no power but of God. The powers that be are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God;” Romans 13: 1-6

But Hosea is also stating that men can rise to positions of power not through God's will, but through their own guile.

“They have made kings, and not by Me, They have made princes, and I have not known, Their silver and their gold they have made to them idols, So that they are cut off.” Hosea 8:4

Dr. Robert Wolf and the late Joel Gallis also observed that the phrase “We will anger God through the work of our hands,” which is במעשה ידיכם and also has a gematria of 501. Which directly relates to Hosea 8:4 because it is with the work of our hands we make idols.

Returning to Deuteronomy 17:15 one last time there is something interesting to be found. What is interesting is finding Obama's name in both the k’tav malei and the k’tav h aser. The k’tav malei spelling is a direct linking of the letters and the k’tav h aser spelling being in the reverse.



שום תשים עליך מלך אשר יבחר יהוה אלהיך בו מקרב אחיך תשים עליך מלך לא תוכל לתת עליך איש נכרי אשר לא אחיך הוא

אובאמה Obama using k’tav malei full spelling.

אובמה Obama using k’tav h aser missing spelling.

While not a perfect skip sequence of 7 like what is found on Ezekiel, there are no obstructions of duplicate letters in both directions and the skip sequences cancel each other out.

אובאמה skip sequence is 6, 4, 1, 12, 32 for a total of 55

אובמה skip sequence is -1, -46, -3, -5 for a total of -55 ( it is in the negative because it is spelled out in the reverse)

What are the chances of the word identifing who is prohibited from being President (king) being found in the verse that biblically prohibits him from being President (king)?

What are the chances of Obama's name also being found in this same verse?

What are the chances of wrong way to spell Obama's name also being found in this verse?

What are the chances of the wrong way to spell Obama's name is encoded in reverse in this verse?

What are the chances that these two ways of spelling intersect in the middle?

What are the chances that the skip sequence of both words has the same value?

What are the chances?

If you choose not to trust or believe in any message from Divine Providence then just ask yourself, why would a man spend untold millions of dollars hiding the evidence that would prove him to be constitutionally qualified to be the President of the United States.

What are the chances that an innocent man would hide the evidence that would prove his innocence?
