Was Berg really of Jewish origin?

There was no Jewish faith practiced in his parents or grandparents households. They had a strong Scandinavian heritage. Berg is not necessarily a Jewish name, by origin.
It used to be trendy and extra honorable to be a Christian that had been from Jewish descent, within much of the Christian evangelical faith. Berg was a wanna be I think. He wanted to be extra special. He was "Jewish" (never by faith, and I DOUBT by origin.)
He was supposedly "filled with the holy ghost in his mother's womb" and there were "prophecies" about him before his birth. Seems like grandiosity ran in the family.
He was very pro-Israel until he was REJECTED in his lunatic plans to christianize the literal ISRAEL with his plans of a kibbutz. When he realized this rejection, he suddenly saw the Israelis as demons. Kinda like Maria sees her detractors as "Vandari".
So then he became progressively pro ANYTHING anti Israel and american, because he was rejected there too. (Press became very bad.) Then he became a staunch supporter of Khadafi (He spelled it Godafi) and we even pushed lit for him and about him! At the same time I don't doubt the family received some funds from him because many top leaders went to meet and discuss with him on a selah level. Remember that one disciple only letter with the pic. of Faithy talking to him in a tent?
At the same time, Berg secretly believed Khadafi was either the Anti-Christ or the one next to him. So Berg becomes staunchly pro Arab. There were stories about the "fire" (as in being on fire) amongst the citizenry and their love for firing weapons and discussion of jihad. Berg supported this. Berg supported anything that represented the powers that be that could support his agenda. The greatest thing about Berg was that he was so insane he could never de-cheive what Hitler had, on the scale that hitler did. Berg wanted fame, power, control, money, and he got infamy on a smaller degree. More along the lines of a serial killer. He was a spiritual serial killer. He broke the spirits of all that joined and crushed their childrens spirits. So the phoenix from the ashes is not the family. It is symbolic of survivors rising against that pervert and Maria and Peter. I hope that in time he is not even remembered in infamy. I hope his memory dies as a shredded piece of paper caught in the wind, into the fire, and burnt up to nothing. Like he never even ever existed. But I hope the legacy of the damage that cults do lives on to protect others.
