Question: Is Belarus called White Russia because it was a major area of opposition to the Revolution!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

Squeezed between Russia, Poland, and Ukraine, Belarus has long been dominated by foreigners!. Polish princes once ruled there!. So did Lithuanian ones!. By the late 18th century, Russian czars had annexed the place!. Not until 1918 could Belarusian leaders proclaim an independent republic!.

That didn't even last a year!. In 1919, Bolsheviks and the Red Army took over, establishing the Belorussian Soviet Socialist Republic!. In 1922, the BSSR became a founding member of the USSR!. The so-called "White Russians" (Belarusians), "Little Russians" (Ukrainians), and "Great Russians" (Russians) were all Soviets now!.

The Russian translation for Belarus is White Russia!. Flax is the plant from which linen is made!. During the Tsarist regime, out of this linen, they made white clothes, and that is how Belarus got its name!.

No, nothing to do with the Revolution!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

from the flax grown there and used to make white linen!.!. and my Boston ancestors came from their as soviet Jewish! White Russia!. and i helped 2 of them come to know white robes to be dressed in, in the Messiah Jesus= in our hearts may there be peace ;) happy day!

Part goes back in age a factor Anna in the Temple was over 84 years old and served God day and night Luke 2:36 &37 verses, chapter 2!.

Concerning us I was asked who is the greatest hero and villan

if we are talking about the living
Jesus =hero
the devil =villian

Politics at the moment
according to the muslim terrorist and their ultra liberal american supporters !.!.!.
Hero =they consider both Hillery and Obama the terrorists have a #3 too= Ben Laden (Pastor Wright prefers Kadaffi of Libya=the man with for years open door policy to let all terrorists against the USA to train protected in his country) their greatest hero's of the moment

Villan would be any infadel Bible believer in the USA (Ironic the USA is its worst enemy as spiritual leader Wright stands with the terrorists and their leaders "9/11 was an act of God against the USA & God 'd' the USA")!.

Jesus is my best friend so hehe i have peace in the midst of storm, and it will be coming when the terrorists take over Iraq and have the oil money to sponsor them!.

Yesterday said if Iran nuclear attacks Israel (Hillery and Obama said then they will take action) ---Nuke Israel a country the size of New Jersey!.!.!. and nothing is left to take action for but burry the dead!. Has America mostly gone brain or heart dead or both!?

sort it out and there are spiritual and political and other related JEWELS here=spiritually right helps too=
its important to be good and believe Jesus!
extreme liberalism happened because as is testified to 'communist' people arosed others and used government issues like protecting the communists=Vietnam where 2 1/2 million along with Cambodians were slaughtered when we walked away, or now in support of the terrorists to let them take over Iraq and its oil wealth!.

it is in part inspired by the ACLU a group headed by Jewish and non Jewish secularists, to remove the Bible, God, prayer, and whatever it stands for from public school and the public!.

We for the most part didnt learn in the past the need for faith yet before world war II many did learn=Jewish and all peoples, in Krakow Poland a Jewish reviival for the Messiah had been experienced and many Jewish people came to faith and the promise of heaven in the Messiah!.

Happy day & please pray as I help Jewish people to Jesus, they as predicted would reject their Messiah "He is despised and rejected of man, and we would as it were hide our faces from him!."

these claims were made to me

that'Jewish sources' claim that there is no concept of a second coming to fulfill prophecy!.

Yet,Scriptures say; "When we shall see him whom we have pierced we shall mourn as one mourneth for her only son which is gone!." Zecariah 12:10
Jewish writers wrote of 2 messiah's one to suffer & one to reign why not the same one coming twice!?

Prophecy ended upon the death of the last prophets -- Zechariah and Malachi ( "the one of righteousness shall come" last chapter of the prophets)

The prophecy still had to be fulfilled! "Unto us a child is born, a son is given, and he will be the wonderful counselor, the mighty God, the everlasting father and the prince of peace!." Isaiah 9:6

70 years before the destruction of the temple messiah Yeshua/Jesus came, if he had not come then as the Messiah we would be left with no fulfillment as predicted by Isaiah and commanded by Moses of the blood sacrifice Leviticus 17:11 "The blood makes atonement for the soul!."
Isaiah 53 "All we like sheep have gone astray, and the Lord will make to light on him, the iniquity of us all!." "He will lay down his life to make atonement for our soul"

the Jewish people could not die innocent/with no sin for their own sins!

DESCENDENT OF DAVID

The Messiah must be descended from King David (see Genesis 49:10= Messiah will come before the king's line is destroyed, and Isaiah 11:1& 10 "To him will the gentiles seek")!.

Mary was in the line of the root of Jessie and David=Matthew chapter 1 gives the exact perfect geneology

Jewish people today do not know if they are in the line of David so it would be impossible to know today!.

TORAH OBSERVANCE

The Messiah will lead the Jewish people to full Torah observance!. Jesus stated "I did not come to do away with the law, but to fulfill it!." John

John 9:14 records that Jesus made a clay paste to heal a blind man's who he met begging to be healed, in violation of Shabbat, which caused the Pharisees to say (verse 16), "He does not observe Shabbat!" Fact is they added to the Torah (the Talmud)their own laws and rules!.
Jesus asked if your animal child falls into a ditch on the Sabbath do you rescue it!? or put medicine on your child's eyes to keep from going blind on the Sabbath!?
If you say no youre uncaring, if you say yes but reject the Messiah for doing the same youre a hypocrite!.

VERSES "REFERRING" TO JESUS!?
VIRGIN BIRTH

The virgin birth is derived from the verse in Isaiah 7:14 describing an "alma" as giving birth!. The word "alma" has always meant a young woman!.
I already explained this and I agree with the 70 rabbis that translated it as 'virgin' to have a miracle birth of 'God with us/emanuel' what miracle would it be for a woman to have a normal birth!? and how could God be concieved from two people in birth!?

SUFFERING SERVANT

Christianity claims that Isaiah chapter 53 refers to Jesus, as the "suffering servant!."

In actuality, Isaiah 52 & 53 describing the exile and redemption of the Jewish people!.
I explained this above, what is ironic is those that claim that people with sin, could die innocent for their own sins and make atonement for themselves as well as all be born in Bethlehem=
The Messiah = "Out of Bethlehem shall come this one from eternity!." Micah 5:1&2
hehe today Bethlehem is entirely Arab, meaning if not Yeshua/Jesus, the Messiah will be an Arab

the way i came to know him was the prayer he asks us to say;

"Help me Jesus, I am sorry for my sins, even one lie, come into my heart and be my friend, amen"

this he promises to do Revelation 1:1 chapter 1 verse 1 and 3:19&20 "I love you, and ask you to repent of sin quickly!. Behold I stand at your heart door and knock, if you ask me in I will come in and be your friend!. " (sup/have fellowship)

The Messiah is my best friend I have one and his atonement too, what do you have!?

Shalom/peace David
My Jewish mom who hates Jesus was a democrat liberal like for the most part blacks and Jewish continue to be strong democratic bases
the Democratic line to ban
1!. the bible,
2 teaching of marriage instead of homosexuality and fornication, and
3God from public schools and the public too,,

yet in recent times she has changed and is even voting for McCain

maybe, because he stands against letting the terrorists take over Iran and its oil wealth to make 9/11 look like kindergarden play in the world and the USA,,
Obama's spiritual leader!.!.!., against saying God 'd' America (It should go to hell weeping forever for rejecting the salvation of Jesus/Matthew 24), or

not to forget Hillery from Arkansaw investing 300 dollars, making hundreds of thousands (White water scandal where those inviolved with the Clintons went to prison yet they stayed around to disgrace and lie to America and the whole world, but remember the hero of the Democrats Bill never inhaled or 'told a lie')

and just food for thought as someone shared this=Pedophilia is disgusting and it still goes on!. Eight-year-old wins divorce in Yemen!?
A YEMENI court has granted a divorce to an eight-year-old girl whose unemployed father forced her into an arranged marriage!.(To a 28 year old man)

In response to a question from Judge Mohammed al-Qadhi, he acknowledged that the "marriage was consummated, but I did not beat her"!.

Unbelievable it still carries on from Mohammed's time to this day!. Isn't it time Islam put an end to this immoral perversion!?

Mohamed as the Haddith says married a 9 year old Aisha, thank God in civilized countries we have prison for these types!.

The issue in Islam is not abuse of little girls, because
that men make the rules,
when we reject Jesus love and care for all mankind and salvation!.!.!.!.
As Muslim leaders the problem !.!.!. it is the major 2 groups Sunni and Shiite's = Sunni moslems the majority of Islam; blowing up each others Mosques and shrines and killing the religious leaders, since the Golden mosque bombing in Jan 2006!.
where do you stand on terrorism!? "Get out of there, and fight them 9/11 style here!?"

with socialism as with this issue be careful, and in our hearts may there be peace ;) happy day!

from White Russia past thanks!Www@QuestionHome@Com

The name Belarus derives from the term White Russia, which first appeared in German and Latin medieval literature!. The Latin term for the area was Russia Alba!. Historically, the country was referred to in English as White Russia!. It is also claimed by some people that the correct translation is White Ruthenia (White Rus phonetically), which either describes the area of Eastern Europe populated by Slavic people or the states that occupied the area!.The first known use of White Russia to refer to Belarus was in the late-16th century by Englishman Sir Jerome Horsey!. During the 17th century, Russian tsars used White Rus', asserting that they were trying to recapture their heritage from the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth!.
Belarus was named Belorussia (Russian: Белоруссия) in the days of Imperial Russia, and the Russian tsar was usually styled Czar of All the Russias—Great, Little, and White!. Belorussia was the only Russian language name of the country (its names in other languages such as English being based on the Russian form) until 1991, when the Supreme Soviet of the Belorussian Soviet Socialist Republic decreed by law that the new independent republic should be called Belarus (Беларусь) in Russian and in all other language transcriptions of its name!. The change was made to reflect adequately the Belarusian language form of the name!.Accordingly, the name Belorussia was replaced by Belarus in English, and, to some extent, in Russian (although the traditional name still persists in that language as well); likewise, the adjective Belorussian or Byelorussian was replaced by Belarusian in English (though Russian has not developed a new adjective)!. Some Belarusians object to the name Belorussia as an unwelcome reminder of the days under Russian and Soviet rule!.However, most residents of the country do not mind it being called Byelorussiya in Russian (which is, actually, the most widely spoken language there) – it is evidenced by the fact that several popular newspapers published locally still retain the traditional name of the country in Russian in their names (e!.g!. Komsomolskaya Pravda v Byelorussii, which is the localised publication of a popular Russian tabloid, and Sovetskaya Byelorussiya)!. Officially, the full name of the country is Republic of Belarus (Рэспубл?ка Беларусь, Республика Беларусь, Respublika Byelarus')
After World War I Belarusians had their own statehood, with varying degrees of independence - first as the short-lived Belarusian National Republic under German occupation, then as the Byelorussian SSR from 1919 until 1991, which merged with other republics to become a constituent member of the Soviet Union in 1922)!. Belarus gained full independence with the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

No!. BTW my parents are from Belarus!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You are correct, Belarus ( formerly Belorussia) was sometimes refered to as White Russia!. The main use of the term " White Russian " refers to the people that fought against the Bolsheviks ( Reds ) from 1917 - 1923!. It was called the White Movement and the members were called White Russians or White Army or White Guard and the main area of opposition to the Bolsheviks was Belarus and the Ukraine!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
