The God Culture is a Biblical, independent research team dedicated to unveiling historical truths and lost history and the Bible. Our team has meticulously located historic Biblical places like Ophir, Sheba, and Tarshish, using ancient maps and crossing disciplines, shedding light on the mysteries of the past. Their Ophir research discovering the Philippines as Ophir is just the beginning of mind-blowing revelation every beliver should know. Following the wise words of Paul, we rigorously test and prove all findings to restore ancient knowledge for present generations. Through international book publications and engaging teaching series, we invite you to delve into the depths of our discoveries. Challenge the unknown with us and embrace the enriching journey to the roots of our heritage. Whether you agree with all findings or not, it is the journey of growing relationship with our Savior as well as that matters most. As TGC is not a freemasonic organization, and not affiliated with any denomination nor organization, they do not attempt to reduce their theology, faith, nor mission to a sentence or two.
Timothy Jay Schwab is an author, researcher, speaker, singer-songwriter, screenwriter, former minister, and accomplished publisher. With nearly 30 years of publishing experience and over 30 years in ministry, Timothy, alongside his wife, Anna Zamoranos-Schwab, leads an international research team dedicated to restoring biblical geography and history—a pursuit that often leads to the restoration of prophecy. Their work challenges colonial and Eurocentric biases found in academia and religious institutions today, applying a rigorous, evidence-based approach to historical and biblical analysis.
In 2017, their research group launched The God Culture on YouTube, documenting their journey in a series of deep, investigative studies. With over 20 million views and a growing global audience, the channel continues to provide groundbreaking insights into biblical history. Their foundational research—the Solomon’s Gold Series, which identified Ophir—has remained undisputed since its release, further solidifying their credibility in the field.
Timothy is a legal resident of the Philippines, requiring no visa of any kind, especially not a “missionary visa.” He was never a missionary, nor would such a visa apply to him, as it is exclusively designated for missions organizations filing on behalf of their representatives. When confronted with this baseless claim, both legal experts and the Bureau of Immigration dismissed it outright as an ignorant and defamatory fabrication.
For those who may come across a certain blog filled with misinformation and baseless attacks, the truth speaks for itself—and history will remember who stood on solid ground.
At 19 years old, Anna Zamoranos-Schwab left the Philippines for Florida, USA, where she built a successful career in business and real estate. She began managing office affairs in a doctor’s practice, later becoming Comptroller of a small farm supplying palm trees and tropical plants to major hotels and industries. Over time, she expanded into real estate investing, establishing herself as a respected realtor and entrepreneur in Florida’s competitive market.
Anna also became active in megachurch ministries, where she devoted time to volunteering in homeless shelters and nursing homes. It was during this period that she repeatedly crossed paths with Timothy Schwab, who was also actively ministering. Eventually, their connection led to a first date—then a wedding in the megachurch where Timothy led worship and Anna served in ministry.
Though they continued their work in ministry, the megachurch experience left them searching for deeper truth. This led them to a Messianic congregation, where they gained valuable insights but also encountered a concerning push toward Jewish traditions. As their research deepened, they began to question their purpose in real estate and luxury publishing—was life truly about estates and Ferraris?
Through prayer and seeking Yahuah's direction, they felt led to transition into full-time ministry—not in the traditional sense, but in a way that would challenge man-made doctrines and institutionalized religion. Instead of building a church or adopting scripted mission statements, they pursued unfiltered biblical truth.
Taking a leap of faith, Anna and Timothy left their business ventures in the U.S. and relocated to the Philippines—unaware of the groundbreaking discoveries awaiting them. As their research into biblical history deepened, they unearthed overwhelming evidence supporting the ancient location of Ophir. To manage the sheer volume of discoveries, they expanded their work with a team of researchers.
On Valentine’s Day 2017, they uploaded Part 1 of the Solomon’s Gold Series to YouTube. That video alone has now reached nearly 800,000 views, while the series as a whole has amassed millions of views worldwide. Today, with 15 published books and over 700 videos, their work continues to reignite biblical and historical truths.
Timothy and Anna are not missionaries and never were. They are international authors and speakers, focused on restoring biblical geography and prophecy through extensive research. Any claim suggesting that the Philippines Bureau of Immigration did not follow proper procedures in issuing Timothy a spousal visa is nothing more than deliberate misinformation.
