ASIAN TRUTHS ABOUT SHEM

1. Interesting analysis but check out his facts. Read what others wrote on the comments. Personally, I do not fully agree with all what were said but some of the points and observations made are reasonable, though it is appropriately suggested that Asia is not equal Chinese because we have 1.1 billion or more people in India/Ceylon/Pakistan That do not look Chinese?
2. And where do the Kadazans (forever fighting what to call themselves, human, orchard or half bred Nephelim (Momomogun) or Dayaks fit into this genealogy/chart?

Celebrating our 53 years of Self-Independance - recalling what we wrote on our God given name.

Bobohizan – what it really means.

The root word that forms the term ‘bobohizan’ is ‘bohi’. It means an ‘exchange’, like ‘momohi’ or that which had been ‘purchased or traded off’. It is something similar to the Jewish concept of “korban -sacrifice" or an ‘atonement’

In the Kadazan concept of justice, peace and order, existing in harmony with their neighbors, the environments both physical and spiritual, at peace with their creator Kinoingan or Kinorohingan whom they were trying to commune with but were unsuccessful, until some of them by the Grace of God  discovered the Holy Spirit, because of the inability of their traditional ‘divato’ (guiding spirit) to ascend to the 7th realm (Hibabou) where His Throne is, it was a common practice to offer ‘sacrifice, korban, atonement’ either to appease the evil spirits that they have knowingly or unknowingly offended or ‘buy off’ their freedom from the evil spirits or demons they have ‘wronged’ by not continuing the ‘covenants’ that their ancestors had made with them. This ‘bohi’ could be the blood of ‘human, animals or birds’ or their vital parts like, the heart, skull, or the whole body, depending on the seriousness or nature of their requests.

The requests may vary from good harvests, protection from tormenting spirits or attack from their enemies, from floods, draughts, earthquakes to the possession of supernatural power like ‘gimat, extra-human strength, power to heal or kill, or even a charm or win an election or strike a lottery’.

The rituals in preparing, slaughtering, offering and blessing involving days and nights of gong beating, chanting and dancing are termed ‘momohizan’. The person, a male or female, who performed this task is known as the “Bobohizan”[1] or “Bobolian – Sokid dialect”

The last of the Bobohizan and the possible demise of the Kadazan Language.

[1] Bro Phelan’s article on the Kadazan priesthood documented the various variations of belief systems from tribe to tribe and except for their belief in the self sacrificing loving Kinoingan, their ritualistic practices seem to evolve and focus on the belief of spirits dwelling in stones, mountains, padi and valleys so much so that he concluded it is based more on an animistic, rather than a monotheistic , belief system. Thanks to his superb skill in researching and documenting this dying practices and his contribution in enriching the Kadazan Culture and supplementing the works of pioneers like the late Datuk Fred Sinidol and his team like Gun Wilfred Mojilis, Stephen Sipaun, James Mudi, Justin Stimol and others but REGRETABLY most of their works were ‘unofficially’ destroyed by the verbal directive of the Director of the Broadcasting RTM who was a Malay from Malaya, another conspiracy to bury the Kadazan people and their legacy forever.

Further development brought along following the Spiritual Revival in the Evangelical, Charismatic and Pentecostal Churches, that also involved the Roman Catholic Church to a lesser degree, had led the serious study of the Word of God, not just the New Testament but also the Old Testament, that had revealed that evil spirits do occupy inanimate objects and animals if not successful in their preference which is the body of human, dead or alive! One third of Jesus Christ’s ministry while He was physically on Earth dealt with demons, evil spirits and fallen angels and the demonized system of Government.

Kadazan - what it really means! (part 1)

The root word - daza -which is used only to refer to a Deity, for example, "Tama Za" (Our Father referring to God the Father) is interpreted in the ordinary language of the Kadazan as "dagai". The prefix - "Ka" is a another powerful kadazan word which had multiple meanings depending on its usage and context but ordinarily, it means the spoken word as "ka disido" - according to him or simply, "he said" but repeating it completely alters its meaning, "kaka" - rumor or something of doubtful or unproven origin. It also signifies breathing out as in, "Ruach" and as in "Ruach Ha-Kodesh - Spirit of God" The suffix 'an' or just 'n' is normally added to a verb or  an adjective, together with the relevant prefix like "ka, ki, ko, etc " to make it into a noun or pronoun for example - uhi (go back) - ko-uhi-an or 'omoto-harvest' - ka-amata-n (kaamatan) (In this particular example, the verb "omoto" when made into a noun (kaamatan), the 'o' is replaced by 'a' and just 'n' , instead of 'an', is added to it)

So using this basic tool, "Ka" - according  to or spoken; "daza" or simple "dagai" - we, us or ours; and the suffix 'n' added to it makes it a noun. Literary, it means "we-spoke or our breathe" but the important element here is the adjective "daza" is used instead of "dagai" which means that God is speaking and not ordinary human beings.

Many of us who had been trained in western universities and embraced its mindsets and philosophies had limited ourselves when trying to understand eastern mindsets and its way of life especially as it relates to the spiritual and metaphysical realms. Kadazan is an eastern language though much of its culture and history had been destroyed either through neglect or invading forces in the past, one can still glean some of its traces when one prayerfully and faithfully commit oneself to seek the truth through the enlightenment brought about by the Power of the Holy Spirit or Sunduvan Tohidang and serious study of the Word of God.

Revelation knowledge, as some describes it, comes directly from two main sources, which are (a) the Spirit of God and (b) Satan and his evil spirits or counterfeit holy spirit. Only those who had been washed by the Blood of the Lamb of God and filled, empowered and led by His Spirit can have the required discernment, another topic dealt with fully by many authors and bloggers elsewhere.

Before the arrival of the Christian missionaries, the life in the Kadazan communities revolved around the 'revelational knowledge' dispensed  through the ministry or office of the Bobohizan (Priest or Priestess) and these revelations were  more often than not from the evil spirits or counterfeit holy spirit. How do we know that? The Word of God tells us that the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another. (Gal 5:22-26)

Kadazan - what it really means! (part 2)

Kadazan - the good Spirited people (Peter Mojuntin), Sakag do Kinoingan, Kadazan tokou savi-avi (James Ongkili), a name that pissed off the devil, and his human allies, and contradicts the teaching of Mohd and his ulamas because according to them only Muslims are human and non-Muslims are worst than animals.

The "Inaait" of the Bobohizans (Bobolian) are passed down from generation to generation. It takes a long and challenging process to train a novice into a 'matured' bobohizans who were expected to exercise leadership, wisdom and discipline in their vocation. The following is an excerpt which was taken from a preliminary dialogue between the Bobohizan, through his or her 'divato' or spirit guide and a 'principality, normally a bigger or higher demon. (It has to be understood that the Bobohizan's primary objective is to 'seek the divine intervention of Kinoingan (Creator God) but he had to pass through these 'demons' and had to appease them by bringing some kind of offerings to them, of course, this is indeed a lie and deception)

Bobohizan: "Divato oi, kumukud oi,

(At this point, my grandma, who had been a Christian (RC) for a number of years, stopped as she felt that the evil spirits i.e. divato, were trying to come back to her.)

Kadazan – what it really means? – part 3

The origin of the term Kadazan (z-dialect) or kadayan (y-dialect e.g. Lotud):

Many foreigners, especially those whose purpose and interest, politically and economically, is to see the Kadazans divided and weak to rule their own God given land, had gone to such length to inject and propogate lies and deception and, by awarding "PHD or Tunship" recruit 'intellectuals' from within the very communities they are bend to destroy to achieve their evil plots of "divide and rule, terrorize or destroy!"[1]

The genesis story of the Kadazan people speaks of  man (tuhun) having three attributes - i.e. Spirit(Kadazan), Soul (Koduduvo) and Kimaragang(Body/tinan)and a Creator God (Kinoingan Minamangun) who sacrificed His only offspring (Huminundun/Huminodun) to provide for salvation for His dying children (Kadazan -  spiritual being that came from Him).

Odu Ginayam narrated that the Kadazan Bobohizan’s primary objective is to seek Kinoingan’s audience for His divine blessings and intervention in any catastrophes, which in most cases are caused by evil spirits, but they are unable to ascend to His throne room. There are seven steps to Hibabou (Heaven) and the best Bobohizan can only ascend to the 4th steps, because their divato (guiding spirit) cannot go further than that. Beyond the seventh steps is the Seat of Kinoingan and it is so bright, brighter than 1,000 suns put together, that their guiding spirits just can’t move higher.

In her version, the Bobohizan had to appease the evil spirits and other demons so that they will not continue to bring sufferings, diseases, poor harvests and natural disasters like floods, draught, typhoon and unknown diseases until they can successfully get access to the throne of Kinoingan.

A person has a physical body but  in it dwelt his or her ‘husod ngaavi’, which are the soul and spirit, and in the case of the Bobohizans their guiding spirits; sometimes wicked spirits, that caused madness, sickness and emotional instabilities, can possess or take resident in the person’s body. Wicked spirits can dwell in human body, animals or non-animate things like padi, banyan tree, rock or rivers. The spirits that dwell in the padi are called ‘bambayazon’, those in the rivers are ‘tambaig’, those in banyan trees (nunuk) are fairies – tompuvan – and those in rocks are ‘tutumohong’ and so on. Angels are divided into two classes – the good ones are the ‘tasab’ and evil ones are the ‘logon’. The spirit of a dead person is called ‘tombiivo’ as opposed to the spirit of a living person – Kadazan. So basically, the person (tuhun/uhun/lun) is comprised of 3 attributes, a trinity, – the physical body which was made from ‘hagit ta’agang’ or Kimaragang, the soul, or ‘koduduvo’ and the spirit or ‘kadazan’.[2]

And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. Gen 2:7

Summary:

In summary, it can be concluded from this simple understanding passed through by word of mouth from generation to generation, and having so many versions that diluted or altered its true meaning, by God’s grace, had been preserved until such time for the truth to be revealed that Kadazan is not a recent invention of Donald Stevens and his colleagues for political convenience and neither it is a description of the ‘people’ who are staying around the towns or “kedai” just because some influential authors were paid to lie and their associates who had erred by wrongly swallowing the ‘lies’ of the devil and his human allies without realizing that their real intention is to reduce the Kadazan to a non-human because that is what the devil is teaching them. 

KA – the breath of God; DAZA (Dagai) : Ours (God is speaking) N – suffix that converts the two terms into a noun. Kadazan – the spirit (breath) that comes from God in other words, Sakag do Kinoingan, child of God, the good Spirited people.

Genesis 1:26 (KJV) And God said; Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

Notes:

[1] The author, upon his return from College, was one of those instrumental in re-organizing the  Kadazan Cultural Association together with  others. One of the issues they were struggling was the D.D.T.  strategy – deceive and divide, dilute and dominate, terrorize and or termination by the ruling Muslim dominated BN central and state government whose primary task was to demolish the initial success of Donald Stevens aka Tun Fuad and the elders of the Kadazan communities at the time to be united under one name, i.e. Kadazan. The visible impact of their mission, which involved the injection of billion of oil and other revenues from the Sabah to make Islam as the National, and if possible the only, religion not only in the State of Sabah but also in Malaysia and Asia. This had resulted in the Christian based UNKO, and later on PBS, being dismantled or weakened, the Christian Indigenous being 'forced' to convert to Islam or left marginalized or left out from any promotion or appointment in the key  or critical posts in the Civil, foreign, government linked companies or awarded any lucrative business licence or timber logging concession. One very obvious example is the violation of the mutual understanding among the founding members of Malaysia that there will be no OFFICIAL RELIGION in Sabah even though Islam is the National Religion of Malaysia and if the Chief Minister is a Christian, the TYT should be a Muslim and vice -versa.

[2] It is interesting to note that root word of the term “koduduvo” is ‘duduvo’ meaning both. When YHWH made the clay statute of Adam, He breathed into its nostril, and the man became a living soul.

Abba Father gave me a name - Kadazan - and am proud of it.

Abba Father gave my great, great, great Aki a name - Kadazan - and I am proud of it and so will my children and grandchildren . I come from a 'dusun' (orchard/village) but I am not a 'dusun'; rather I own it and work it (to be exact, God owns it and I am just a steward of it)

The Bible says that when God created the first human, He called him "Adam - אדם i.e. a human being (in my Mother tongue "KADAZAN") and he put him in charge of a 'dusun' where "Satan", through the woman, led him to sin against God. Satan overcame him and took over what God had entrusted to him, i.e. dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. He also lost his immortality for one of God's universal law is "the wages of sin is death". 

And to celebrate this 'victory' and as a reminder to Adam (Kadazan) that Satan was his 'Tuhan' he changed his name to "Dusun" (Orchard) and implanted it within his heart and mind, and that of his generation to come, that he, and his future generation, is no more "Adam (Kadazan) - the son of God" but "Dusun" - D(evil)'s son or rather 'slaves'.

Pro 23:7  For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: (So Satan wants us to think in our heart that we are actually not Kadazan, children of God - but Dusun; that is his deceptive strategy to dominate and control us, directly or indirectly)

But the 2nd Adam, the Anointed Savior (Jesus Christ), who became the Sacrificial Lamb (Huminundun) as an atonement (bohi) for Kadazan's sins, had already paid the ONCE FOR ALL SACRIFICE on the Cross at CALVARY when he declared, with His nailed arms outstretched on the Cross, "IT IS FINISHED" When we do the Sumazau with a "Keeehoi" we should be reminding Satan and his human alliances on earth that "IT IS FINISHED" because Jesus Christ had paid everything for us. When UNKO was established, the message from our ABBA FATHER was "tuhUN-KO" om okon ko kouvaan(Dusun)-ko, bavang (Sungei)-ko, hivan(Liwan)-ko,etc 

So who am I? I AM A KADAZAN - CREATED IN THE IMAGE AND PICTURE OF GOD (KINOINGAN), FELL INTO SINS BUT BY GOD'S GRACE IN OUR FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST (Second Adam), WE HAVE BEEN SAVED AND BEING RESTORED TO THE POSITION THAT WAS INTENDED FOR US - CO-HEIRS AND CO-RULERS WITH JESUS CHRIST IN ETERNITY.

If you say, I am a dusun or anything less, I will definitely say, "Devil, IN JESUS NAME, GO TO HELL  I AM A KADAZAN - SON OF THE LIVING GOD. JESUS IS MY BOSS NOW!" MARANATHA!

THE WAY FORWARD - but must BALIK KAMPUNG first!

MERDEKA, MERDEKA, MERDEKA .......IN JESUS NAME. AMEN

The only way towards unity amongst the various tribes of the Kadazan people, and indeed amongst the various denominations in His Government, is through bended knees of continuous, prevailing and committed supplications, prayers and repentance to the ONLY ONE True God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the Creator and Master of the Universe, who gave to man (Kadazan) His Word and Spirit (JESUS) as the Only Way, Truth and Life to Him.

The Kadazan knows Him as Kinoingan Minamangun, a loving and self-sacrificing Father revealing Himself as the Word of God who became man (Kadazan) (Huminundun) and offer Himself as “Bohi” (korban) for the redemptions of our sins for unless and until the inner man has been completely transformed in the likeness of Jesus Christ, whatever ever we do always has a hidden agenda that only promotes the kingdom of the world (Self) and of Satan and totally opposed to the Perfect Will of the Father and His Eternal Purpose for Mankind. (Kadazan)

We have, over the years, rejoice with our brothers and sisters from the 2 nations, i.e. Sarawak and Malaya, the formation of a federation of nations, and a few more days, we will be celebrating our 53 years of independence from Colonial Rule when God had said to us, (TUH)UN KO, thus the first political party ever established in Sabah was appropriately named UNKO – United National Kadazan Organization – which was given the Divine Mandate, among others, To Unveil His Unknown Nations of (His) Kingdom Overseas but sad to say that this was sabotaged as those given the tasks were ill equipped and not very well grounded in the “inner-man”.

When Donald Stevens shouted in the KK (Jesselton) town padang, “Merdeka, Merdeka, Merdeka” (Freedom! Freedom! Freedom!), he was holding the very “CONSTITUTION” that outlined the vision, missions, instructions, directions, strategies and operational manual to run the newly independent Nation of Sabah, having about 55 per cent who had responded to the Father’s call for being His children – Kadazans! – the good-Spirited people (Neh 9:20) It was not just freedom from Colonial rule but also from the bondage of Satan, Sins, rebellion against the Father, Deception, Poverty, Racial Prejudices and Injustices or being consigned to self curse (Proverb 23:7a) as “Dusun (Orchard), Liwan (Valley), Sungei (River), Tuawon (Herb), and so on forever, but then why was no concerted effort made to “study, research, map out and communicate what was in the CONSTITUTION    which God had given to our leaders and religious teachers, priests, catechist, bishops, pastors, professors and scientists.

AAA - represent the DNA of Father God, Son and Holy Spirit

Without the vowels, Kadazan is spelt " KDZN" . Taking the sum total of the alphabet's numerical values, 55, it has significant meaning as it represents the 12 main tribes and 43 sub- tribes of the Kadazan Race or known simply in their dialect as People or Tuhun/ lun.
