A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE LAWKEEPERS, CO.:

ALL PRAISES BE TO THE MOST HIGH YIHOVAH,

ELOHIM OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC, AND JACOB

PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME

FOR HE IS WORTHY TO BE PRAISED!!!

Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God [is] one LORD:

(Deuteronomy 6:4)

LEAD, FOLLOW; OR GET OUT OF THE WAY!

In the spirit of the election year politics and the recent caucuses in Iowa and New Hampshire, we turn our attention to the vast vacuum in leadership in secular society and the Yisraelite Community.

The junior senator from the great state of Illinois Barak Hussein Obama and the junior senator from the great state of New York Hillary Rodham Clinton have separated themselves from the pack as the front runners for the Democratic Party’s challenge to reclaim the White House from the Republicans. The current president’s under-achieving example of leadership has lowered the bar enough to allow Americans to consider a black man or a woman to become president of the United States.

The Yisraelite Community has a great King in YIHOVAH who has chosen the tribe of Yehudah to be the “Leader” among the tribes of Yisrael. A “Leader”, leads by example. Take a look at what the Scripture has to say about the kind of example that our “Leader” is to set:

“Thou shalt in any wise set him king over thee, whom the LORD thy God shall choose: one from among thy brethren shalt thou set king over thee: thou mayest not set a stranger over thee, which is not thy brother. But he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he should multiply horses: forasmuch as the LORD hath said unto you, Ye shall henceforth return no more that way. Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart turn not away: neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold. And it shall be, when he sitteth upon the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write him a copy of this law in a book out of that which is before the priests the Levites: And it shall be with him, and he shall read therein all the days of his life: that he may learn to fear the LORD his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them: That his heart be not lifted up above his brethren, and that he turn not aside from the commandment, to the right hand, or to the left: to the end that he may prolong his days in his kingdom, he, and his children, in the midst of Israel.” Deuteronomy 17:15-20

It is our [Yisraelites] duty to follow the Laws, Statutes, and Commandments of the MOST HIGH YIHOVAH and no other doctrine/dogma. We cannot all be “Leaders”, but we can all be “Followers” of the MOST HIGH YIHOVAH. As “Followers”, let us all strive to be the best at following what “Thus Saith the LORD”.

Finally, the Scripture also admonishes Yisraelites not to acknowledge any of the gods of the nations round about us. Recently, x-tians and Messianic Yisraelites have come to the LawKeepers Co. website and made inquiry about why Torah only Yisraelites do not believe that jc is the so-called son of GOD and that the New Testament is not a legitimate scriptural book of YIHOVAH but rather a man-made fiction about jc and the origins of the x-tian religion.

To these Messanic Yisraelites and x-tians we say; get on board with the program or GET OUT OF THE WAY!

It is the duty of the Nation of Yisrael to praise the name of YIHOVAH; for this is the very reason that our forefathers were led through the desert when they left Egypt, and now we have been re-awakened to our true ethnicity, so we can return to HIS land [Israel] that HE gave to us for to praise HIM.

Halleluyah!! Halleluyah!! Halleluyah!!

ALL PRAISES BE TO THE MOST HIGH YIHOVAH,

ELOHIM OF ABRAHAM, ISSAC, AND JACOB!

PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME

FOR HE IS WORTHY TO BE PRAISED!!!

Halleluyah!! Halleluyah!! Halleluyah!!

Tribute to the New Moon Revised:

The service of this solar/lunar calendar of TORAH READINGS is by definition using the “LIGHTS” of the sun and moon, according to Genesis 1:14, to number the “days” of each month. And the dark phases of the moon cooperatively and conveniently provide a break between the months. If there were no dark phases of the moon, we would have a tough time determining when one month ended and when another would begin. Hence, because the Commandment is to use the “Lights” in the Heavens for “Signs” for seasons, days, and years, the New Moon Crescent is what provides us with our first lights of each new month and these lights continue waxing and waning until they are diminished to the dark phases. And then in two to three days, the New Moon Crescent reappears again starting the First Day of another new month.

Realizing that even some Israelites use the dark phase of the moon to call the new month, I would like to add one obvious fact. By definition, there can only be a “New Moon,” per se, after the dark phase interval and when the New Moon Crescent reappears, thus, we understand the concept of having a “New” moon.

If the dark phase of the moon begins the First Day of the month, then when the New Moon Crescent is “Sighted” that could approximately be as far into the month as the Fourth Day, i.e., the appearance of the “Light” in the Heavens could possibly fall on the Fourth Day. It makes no sense to start to count the first dark phase of the moon as being the First Day of the month, as this process disregards the use of the “Light” in the Heavens to determine our “days,” as we are Commanded to do in Genesis 1:14. Consider what King David said in I Samuel 20:24: “…when the New Moon was come…” He had to be speaking about the New Moon Crescent, as we are unable to “Sight” the appearance of the dark phase or rather see it “come.”

It’s the absence of seeing the moon for forty-eight or more hours that enables us to identify the approaching Crescent “Sign” in the Heavens (mentioned in Genesis 1:14) that recognizes the moon as being “New.” And upon “Sighting” this “New” Crescent” we distinguish it as being the “New Moon” and the time of the New Month, as well.

PLEASE NOTE: The Hebrew New Year is also determined by the “LIGHTS” in the Heavens and not by the “sighting of barley,” as some Black Hebrew Israelites and European “Jews” advocate.

***

“For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make,

shall remain before me, saith the LORD,

so shall your seed and your name remain.

“And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another,

and from one sabbath to another,

shall all flesh come to worship before me,

saith the LORD.”

Isaiah 66:22,23

START THE NEXT NEW MOON WATCH ON THE EVENINGS OF

<<<JANUARY 9,10,11,12, 2007>>>

BY LOOKING IN THE “WEST” JUST ABOVE THE HORIZON.

“He appointed the moon for seasons…”

Psalm 104:19

The first “Sign” in the Heavens to provide the start of days, years and “seasons” can only begin with the “Sighting” of the New Moon Crescent - that which we can “see” in order for it to serve as a “Sign” and enable us to begin counting our days and months. Just imagine not being able to “see” the moon at all. How then could it be appointed for a “Sign” or for “seasons”?

“The natural thought might be that the moon is like a living being. It is born, grows, reaches maximum size, then fades and dies, going through all these stages in one month. Even today, we still talk of the thin crescent in the western sky as a new moon and the thin crescent in the eastern sky a month later as the old moon. Half way between is the full moon. As I explained earlier, this cycle of phases of the moon established the month as a unit of time, and the first calendars were based on this.” ISAAC ASIMOV’S GUIDE TO EARTH AND SPACE, pages 79 and 80

In that the King of Israel is supposed to be a “Righteous Judge” (II Chronicles 1:11), it stands to reason that he is also supposed to be a “Righteous Role Model.” Thus, if the King that GOD appoints over Israel observes a “feast” on the day of the New Moon, then wisdom tells the Nation of Israel to do likewise. King Saul and the anointed David observed this service (I Samuel 20th Chapter).

To their and our hurt our forefathers worshipped all manner of symbols: the sun, moon, stars, and images of gold and silver. To observe the “Sign” in the heavens as being the New Moon “Sighting” is NOT worshipping the moon, but rather it is doing as we are COMMANDED in Genesis 1:14:

“And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:”

Some people feel that the moon has no “light,” but according to GOD’s WORD to HIS Prophets, it most certainly does: Isaiah 13:10; Isaiah 30:26; Jeremiah 31:35; Ezekiel 32:7.

***

“Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob.

“Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery.

“Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed,

on our solemn feast day.

“For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the God of Jacob.”

Psalm 81:1 – 4

(A Psalm of Asaph, the Seer –

one who should be well informed about GOD’s Ways)

“Also in the day of your gladness, and in your solemn days, and in the beginnings of your months, ye shall blow with the trumpets over your burnt offerings,

and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; that they may be to you for a memorial before your God: I am the LORD your God.”

Numbers 10:10

Contrary to the belief of some Israelites, the moon does indeed shine! Even if the Moon shines with the aid of the sun, i.e., reflects the light of the sun, IT STILL SHINES! And the fact that Scripture attests to this fact, is what’s important: Isaiah 60:19; Jeremiah 31:35; and Ezekiel 32:7. Therefore, Genesis 1:14 is proof enough that we must use the shining New Moon Crescents as “…SIGNS, AND FOR SEASONS, AND FOR DAYS, AND FOR YEARS:”

Some Israelites, along with White Jews, use the dark phase of the moon to determine the start of a new month. If the dark phase of the moon lasts for “2-3 days,” then which of these days is supposed to be the distinguishing “Sign” that determines the First Day of the month? Or do we just arbitrarily select either/or depending on the imaginations of our hearts?

On the contrary, with the use of the sighted “Sign” of the New Moon Crescent in the Heavens we eliminate any confusion as to which day IS the First Day of the month.

“So David hid himself in the field: and WHEN THE NEW MOON WAS COME, the king sat him down to eat meat.” I Samuel 20:24

At the time of the dark phases of the moon (generally 2-3 days), as previously written, there is no “moon” in SIGHT. Therefore, I Samuel 20:24 sheds more light on Genesis 1:14. “WHEN THE NEW MOON WAS COME,” is clearly telling readers that this is a reference to a visible “Moon Crescent Sighting” - the light in the firmament…i.e., the “Sign” for (lunar) days. Thus, if we are to count all the lunar days (29.5) in a month, it only makes sense to start counting from the New Moon Crescent “when the New Moon was come” and NOT from the dark phases at the end of the month, which do not emit any “sign” or “light” in the heavens.

The only problem that presents itself when using the “New Moon Sighting” to call the First Day of the month is cloud coverage, as this prevents the ability to see the New Moon Crescent. Nonetheless, when “Sighted,” one can easily distinguish the New Moon Crescent from all the other phases due to its thin sliver and its low position in the heavens. And the reason is that no two days or rather phases of the visible moon are alike. Hence, to use the New Moon Crescent as the “Sign” in the heavens, as we are COMMANDED to do for our seasons, days, and years, negates the belief that the “commandment was given to the luminaries.” The “luminaries” fulfill GOD’s Commandments: the sun shines and the moon orbits the Earth. They have no need to determine seasons, days, and years. Hence, our New Moons are obviously of more spiritual significance to the Nation of Israel than we are aware. And for sure, the TRUTH concerning them are in GOD’s WORD to HIS Prophets/Seers - not the White Jews or other Gentiles. All we need do is use wisdom, discern what’s written in Scripture, accept it, and act accordingly!

“Then Solomon offered burnt offerings unto the LORD on the altar of the LORD, which he had built before the porch,

“Even after a certain rate every day, offering according to the commandment of Moses, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the solemn feasts, three times in the year, even in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles.” II Chronicles 8:12,13

Unless there is an emergency, please try not to buy or sell on this day. Conduct all financial and business transactions prior to the day of the New Moon. Interesting enough, II Kings 4:23,24 constitutes the New Moon as being a day to seek “the man of God.” Although the New Moon is NOT a Day of Rest, Our GOD did set it aside for recognition:

“Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day.” Psalm 81:3

“And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one Sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD.” Isaiah 66:23

“…When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn?…” Amos 8:5

Probably, the Scripture that most determines and clarifies the fact that our New Moons are Feast Days is Ezekiel 45:17:

“And it shall be the prince’s part to give burnt offerings, and meat offerings, and drink offerings, in the feasts, and in the NEW MOONS, and in the Sabbaths, in ALL SOLEMNITIES of the house of Israel: he shall prepare the sin offering, and the meat offering, and the burnt offering, and the peace offerings, to make reconciliation for the HOUSE OF ISRAEL.” (Caps. are mine.)

Unequivocally, our New Moons are included in these “SOLEMNITIES” mentioned in Ezekiel 45:17.

“Likewise the people of the land shall worship at the door of this gate before the LORD in the Sabbaths [Feasts – NOT 7th Day Sabbaths*] and in the NEW MOONS.” Ezekiel 46:3 (Brackets are mine.)

Thereby, this verse justifies the First Day of each month being our “Feast” Day. It should be realized that the Feast Days that Our GOD selected (Leviticus 23rd Chapter) are “Holy Convocations,” i.e., on these days we cannot do any work. However, because King Saul observed the New Moon as a Feast Day, we have every reason to do so, as well. We also have learned that our forefathers traveled to the Temple to worship the Holy ONE on the New Moon (II Kings 4:23; Ezekiel 45:17; and Ezekiel 46:1), and when HE has HIS Temple rebuilt, then we will again be able to resume this service and worship.

When we return to our heritage and worship YIHOVAH according to HIS Ways, then we can establish our own “Calendar of the Universe,” whereby, the days of the New Moon and all GOD’s Holy Days will be recognized by the whole entire World. And I am sure that it will be the desire of the Righteous Remnant and ALL the world to make a Feast to the Most High GOD of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob/Israel every First Day of the Month.

ALSO, I believe that if Lot (Genesis 19:3) and Abraham (Genesis 21:8) can proclaim “Feasts,” then there is no stipulation for NOT establishing Feast Days, as we so desire. Therefore, to proclaim a feast to EXALT the Holy ONE of Israel on the First Day of each month is quite acceptable - given the Scripture (above) regarding worshipping Our LORD GOD of ISRAEL, Our SAVIOR, on the New Moons. We should know that throughout the Tanakh Hebrew Israelites called for “feasts” for various occasions. Therefore, we are within our rights to observe a Feast every New Moon to Our GOD, the GOD of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob/Israel. And those of us who love this WONDERFUL GOD and who choose HIM to EXALT HIM for being the ONLY LORD and SAVIOR can be at liberty to use the day of the New Moon to show forth HIS PRAISE in a “feast” and worship HIM in Jerusalem FOREVER.

“And Solomon awoke; and, behold, it was a dream. And he came to Jerusalem, and stood before the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and offered up burnt offerings, and offered peace offerings, and [he] made a feast to all his servants.”

I Kings 3:15

*Leviticus 23:24,39 (Sabbaths of Feasts)

A Tribute to GOD’s “HOLY” Seventh Day Sabbath of Complete REST - HIS WEEKLY ANNIVERSARY OBSERVANCE and SIGN between HIM and Israelites for HIS CREATION of the Heavens and the Earth:

“Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath,

to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.

It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever:

for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth,

and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.”

Exodus 31:17,18

Since we know for a fact that GOD’s Holy Seventh Day Sabbath is a “Sign” between HIM and Israel, why take any chance to profane it? Every passage about the Holy Sabbath of COMPLETE Rest stands strong in support of GOD’s Commandment to abide in our places on the Seventh Day (Exodus 16:29) – ever last one of them – including the passage in Jeremiah where we are Commanded to “Take heed to yourselves, and bear no burden on the Sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem;” Jeremiah 17:21 (Please read verses 21 to 27.)

Perhaps the wise thing to do would be to define the word “burden.” But more importantly, we need to determine whether or not Exodus 16:29 is a Commandment or not. And if it is determined to be one, then we should Fear the GOD of Israel and be obedient to what HE has Commanded of us.

“But the LORD, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great power

and a stretched out arm, him shall ye fear, and him shall ye worship,

and to him shall ye do sacrifice. And the statutes, and the ordinances, and the law,

and the commandment, which he wrote for you, he shall observe to do for ever more;

and ye shall not fear other gods.”

II Kings 17:36,37

Why must we debate that which is clearly written for us to do and for very good reason, if we will only consider and think about it? The Holy ONE wants us to be first to observe HIS weekly Anniversary of Creation, which is to keep HIS Holy Seventh day at REST, as HE did, in order that we might be REFRESHED!

“REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY, TO KEEP IT HOLY”

Exodus 20:8

“See, for that the LORD hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.” Exodus 16:29

“And Moses gathered all the congregation of the children of Israel together, and said unto them, These are the words which the LORD hath commanded, that ye should do them.

“Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you an holy day, a sabbath of rest to the LORD: whosoever doeth work therein shall be put to death.” Exodus 35:1,2

“Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation [“HOLY DAY”]; ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings.” Leviticus 23:3

“Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death. Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant. It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.” Exodus 31:15 - 17

“And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.” Genesis 2:2,3

Significantly, in the beginning when the Holy ONE of Israel established this Sabbath Day of COMPLETE REST and when HE clearly COMMANDED the Children of Israel in the Wilderness to observe this Holy Day, HE MADE NO EXCEPTIONS!

If “ALL” GOD’s COMMANDMENTS are sure, then for sure, we must give credence to Exodus 16:29 and abide in our places on GOD’s HOLY Seventh Day of Complete REST as we are COMMANDED TO DO!

“He hath shewed his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen. The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure.” Psalm 111:7

GOD’s Holy Seventh Day Sabbath of REST is not only one of HIS Greatest WORKS of all time, but this Holy Day is an extraordinary “SIGN” between this Most High GOD, the CREATOR and HIS Chosen People, the Children of Israel! This Seventh Day also marks the Anniversary of GOD ending the Creations of the Heavens, Earth, man, and all that is therein.

“Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.” Genesis 2:1 - 3

“And he said unto them, This is that which the LORD hath said, Tomorrow is the rest of the holy sabbath unto the LORD: bake that which ye will bake today, and seethe that ye will seethe; and that which remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning.

“See, for that the LORD hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.” Exodus 16:23,29

CONCERNING “HOLY CONVOCATION”

The issue stemming from the meaning of “Holy Convocation” written in Leviticus 23^rd Chapter is real, and the interpretation is grossly misunderstood. “Holy Convocation” does not mean “To Gather.” And the sin committed by traveling and gathering on the CREATOR’s Holy Sabbath of Complete REST has grave consequences (Exodus 31:12 - 18).

Conclusive evidence that “holy convocation” DOES NOT mean to assemble is provided in the passage on Passover. In Exodus 12:16 we are told that Passover is a “holy convocation” but yet, we are Commanded to observe this High Holy Day with our immediate families and only to join with another family if one’s members are too few for the lamb (Exodus 12:4). This proves without a doubt that “holy convocation” cannot mean to assemble, but rather to keep the holy days “HOLY.” Some call attention to the fact that because Israelites were Commanded to ”…turn in the morning and go into their tents” (Deuteronomy 16:5-7) that this is proof of an assembly. Those Israelite families that joined with others are the ones GOD Commanded to return to their tents.

The Holy ONE of Israel DOES NOT contradict HIMSELF! HE would not COMMAND us to “Rest” on the Sabbath Day of Rest and also Command us to “abide ye every man in your place on the seventh day,” and then confuse us by telling us to “assemble” on the “rest of the holy sabbath unto the LORD.” This would make absolutely no sense whatsoever. Therefore, if the Holy ONE of Israel said don’t bear a burden on the Sabbath Day of Rest (Jeremiah 17:21,22) and that our asses (used for travel) had to also rest, then for sure we have to “abide in our places…on the seventh day.” Thus, using our cars and paying tolls and public transportation on GOD’s Holy Seventh Day of Rest is absolutely forbidden! And walking to the Temple or to any meeting place was and still is out of the question all because GOD’s Seventh Day is specifically to be kept as a DAY of “COMPLETE REST” - Shabatone (as is written in Hebrew).

The wise, obedient ones understand the great importance of observing this Seventh Day of Rest exactly as GOD Commanded and will not add to or diminish from this Law of the “Blessed,” “Sanctified,” and “Holy” Seventh Day Sabbath.

“Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant

whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me,

and beside me there is no saviour.”

QUESTIONS ON “OLD TESTAMENT” BIBLE TRIVIA TO PONDER:

“And she said to her father, Let it not displease my lord that I cannot rise up before thee; for the custom of women is upon me. And he searched but found not the images.” Genesis 31:35

What did Rachel mean that the custom of women is upon her? And how did her comment stop her husband from searching her?

***

“As they were increased, so they sinned against me: therefore will I change their glory into shame.” Hosea 4:7

What were the painful implications of GOD’s denouncement upon the Nation of Israel to “change their glory into shame”? And because this month’s and last month’s Editorials are about denouncing JC, I am also posing the following question:

Given the CREATOR GOD’s denouncement upon Israel, isn’t this just another reason and proof why GOD did not send JC to the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel?

Should anyone choose to respond to the above questions, it would be my pleasure to publish your answers in the next issue of The LawKeepers JOURNAL. T.Y., Editor

INFO/HINTS FOR HARDY, HEALTHY HEBREWS:

FDA APPROVAL OF FOOD FROM CLONED ANIMALS STALLED BY PASSAGE OF
MIKULSKI-SPECTER AMENDMENT IN FARM BILL!

(December 14, 2007)

A broad coalition of consumer, farmer, and animal welfare organizations today applauded passage of a provision in the Senate’s Farm Bill (H.R. 2419) that would delay the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) endorsement of the use of food from cloned animals. This amendment, advanced by Senator Barbara A. Mikulski (D-Md.) and co-sponsored by Senator Arlen Specter (R-Pa.), calls for a rigorous and careful review of the human health and economic impacts of bringing cloned food into America’s food supply. The senate overwhelmingly passed the bill this afternoon by a vote of 79 to 14. The amendment requires that two rigorous studies be performed before the FDA is able to issue a final decision on food from clones. The amendment directs the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) to convene a blue-ribbon panel of leading scientists to review the FDA’s initial decision that food from cloned animals is safe, and to study the potential health impacts of cloned foods entering the nation’s food supply. The bill also directs the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to examine consumer acceptance of cloned foods.

During a public comment period that ended earlier this year, the FDA heard from more than 150,000 citizens rejecting the Agency’s proposed plan to introduce clones into the U.S. food supply. In addition, dozens of members of the meat and dairy industries and nonprofit organizations urged the FDA to consider comments from the widest possible sample of Americans in consideration of the untested nature of cloning technology.

We applaud the Senate's passage of this amendment, and hope the House will follow its lead!
CFS True Food Network members like you sent thousands of letters urging the passage of this important provision in the Farm Bill. Thank you for your support! We will keep you informed as the legislation moves forward - stay tuned!

Super Immunity Tonic Recipe For Upcoming Cold and Flu Season

(NewsTarget) The body's immune system kills germs and impurities that typically cause fevers and infections. By improving the body's natural resistance it increases the body's capacity to withstand bacterial and/or viral invasion. Fevers and illnesses of all kinds from flus and colds to typhoid, tuberculosis, malaria, cancers and meningitis can be successfully treated and/or prevented by a healthy immune system.

Several herbs in this formula are known for their proven ability to both enhance and strengthen the human immune system. This formula also provides effective blood purification and detoxification.

It's difficult to overestimate the importance of maintaining a healthy supply of blood for proper functioning of the body's immune system. The blood performs vital functions which oftentimes become overtaxed during stress, fatigue, overwork, and during exposure to viruses plus acute and chronic cellular diseases. Likewise, many ailments and diseases are the result of impurities and toxins in the bloodstream. The blood is the primary target for effective medical intervention and prevention.

The Super Immunity formula could properly be called "alternative", meaning that it gradually changes the properties of the blood from unhealthy to healthy, thereby strengthening the body's ability to ward off contagious diseases.

Browning's Super Immunity is antimicrobial, antioxidant, antiviral, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor and provides the body with a strong resistance to most illnesses and contains the following ingredients:

Astragalus: The main constituents include polysaccharides, saponins, flavonoids, amino acids, and trace elements. Research shows it stimulates the immune system in many ways. It increases the number of stem cells in bone marrow, lymph tissue and encourages their development into active immune cells. It enhances the body's production of immunoglobulin and stimulates macrophages. It can help activate T cells. It also proffers heart protecting effects, including protection against oxidative damage.

Barberry: Contains berberine that aids in the secretion of bile and is good for liver problems, helps regulate the digestive processes. The antibacterial properties of the alkaloid berbamine have shown activity against Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Salmonella, Shigella and Eschorichia Coli. It is also good for hepatitis, colic, and jaundice. Antiseptic, fevers, inflammatory conditions, blood purifier, diarrhea and sore throat.

Cat's Claw: Contains powerful antioxidants, such as proanthocyanidins, which help fight against free radical damage, protect collagen, and reduce swelling & inflammation. It is considered beneficial not only for the immune system, but for the digestive and structural systems as well. It has a pronounced effect on the ability of white blood cells to engulf and digest harmful micro-organisms and foreign matter. Cat's claw has also been shown to increase the production of leukocytes and specifically T4 lymphocytes, thus blocking the advance of many viral illnesses. Protects the body from viruses and virus caused cancers, general cancers, auto-immune disorders.

Codonopsis: "Poor Man's Ginseng", it builds both red and white blood cells. It is rich in immune stimulating polysaccharides which are beneficial to every one. It is useful in supporting the immune systems of people with cancer. It also has interferon-inducing activity that may be of importance in many immune deficiency conditions, including HIV protection & infection.

Dandelion Root: It stimulates macrophage action. It is known to be an excellent blood cleanser, specifically for the liver and pancreas. It acts by straining and filtering toxins & wastes from the bloodstream and its beneficial effects on liver complaints have been well documented by both Asian practitioners and American physicians.

Donq Quai aka Chinese Angelica: It increases the absorption of oxygen by the liver and purifies the blood, therefore nourishing the brain, heart, and spleen. It is a blood tonic, promoting its production of both red and white blood cells, used in treating anemia, headache, venous problems, low immunity, and problems of peripheral blood flow. This herb has shown to act against Vitamin E deficiency. It can prevent experimental coronary atherosclerosis, and prevents lipid deposits in arteries. Anti-tumor action of Dong Quai has been observed in several studies. As a superior blood tonic it was used to ward off plagues. Used for bronchitis and pleurisy, colds, fever or the flu. It has 12 anti-inflammatory constituents, ten antispasmodic (muscle relaxant) constituents, and five anodyne (pain-relieving) ones.

Eleuthero: Has a beneficial effect on the heart and circulation. It has been shown to increase energy & stamina, help the body resist viral infections, environmental toxins, radiation, and chemotherapy. It increases immuno-competent cells - particularly T cells and natural killer cells numbers. It is used for boosting the immune system of cancer patients, treating arrhythmias and other heart diseases, diabetes, and for its antimicrobial action.

Fenugreek: Excellent for clearing the body of toxins and mucus. It is also an excellent source of selenium, an anti-radiant which helps the body utilize oxygen, and is a natural source of iron, silicon, sodium and thiamine

Fo-Ti: It nourishes the blood, improving physical and mental health. Fo-Ti research has investigated this herb's role in strong immune function, red blood cell formation, and antibacterial action. It is anti-toxic, anti-swelling and tranquilizing as well as being useful for liver and spleen weakness, vertigo, scrofula, and cancer.

Plantain: Anti-microbial action, particularly against staphylococcus infections. It acts as a gentle expectorant while also soothing inflamed & sore membranes, making it ideal for coughs and mild bronchitis due to its demulcent actions to clear catarrhal congestion and at the same time soothe and protect damaged & sore tissues. Clears toxic waste from the body.

Rosehips: Contains Vitamin C, beta carotene, thiamine, riboflavin, Vitamins E and K, polyphenols, Bioflavonoids, tannin, pectin, and vanillin & used for general debility.

Sarsaparilla: Blood tonic, it is especially good for removing heavy metals if taken properly; it contains calcium, copper, iron, iodine, manganese, potassium, silicon, sodium, sulfur, B-complex and vitamins A, C, and D.

Schizandra: Recent research studies have indicated numerous biological activities, including: anti-bacterial, mild stimulant, liver protective, anti-depressant, antioxidant, adaptogen and cardiac tonic. It is recommended for the lungs, liver and kidneys. As a kidney treatment it is used for night sweats, insomnia, thirst, physical exhaustion and fatigue

Turmeric: Helps to stabilize the body's microflora, it sensitizes the body's cortisol receptor sites, and its anti-inflammatory properties are considered at least equal to those of cortisones. It protects against free radical damage because it is a strong antioxidant. It protects the liver from a number of toxic compounds. It prevents blood platelet aggregation and is excellent for those exposed to toxic chemicals. Curcumin in Turmeric possesses liver protective characteristics, assists in detoxifying the body of dangerous carcinogens, stimulates the gall-bladder, and acts as a free-radical scavenger.

The dried herbal ingredient amounts you will need to make Browning's Super Immunity Tonic:

(Whole herbs are easier to strain than powdered herbs – you can use either)

6 oz. Astragalus Root (A. membranaceus)

2 oz. Barberry (Berberis vulgaris)

4 oz. Cat's Claw (Uncaria tomentosa)

2 oz. Codonopsis (Codonopsis pilosula)

2 oz. Dandelion Root (Taraxacum officinale)

4 oz. Donq Quai aka Chinese Angelica (Angelica sinensis)

3 oz. Eleuthero (Eleutherococcus senticosus)

2 oz. Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum)

2 oz. Fo-Ti (Polygonum multiflorum)\

1 ½ oz. Plantain Leaf (Plantago major)

2 oz. Rosehips (Rosa canina)

1 ½ oz. Sarsaparilla Root (Smilax medica or Smilax ornata)

1 ½ oz. Schizandra ..:NAMESPACE PREFIX = ST1 />Berry (Schisandra chinensis)

2 oz. Turmeric Root (curcuma longa)

What cooking tools and other ingredients you will need:

2 stainless steel or glass 16 quart pots with lids. One pot for cooking and one for straining liquid into after cooking.

A large strainer.

A candy or water thermometer.

Cheesecloth.

3 gallons of distilled water

16 oz of vegetable glycerin

60 oz of honey

Citric acid

For bottling you can use regular canning jars. If using pint jars you will need about 10 to 12 jars. If using quart jars you will need about 6 to 8 jars.

You can cut recipe in ½ for a smaller batch.

In pot add:

In 1 pot add all of the herbs and cover with 3 gallons of distilled water. Stir. Cover pot with lid and simmer for about 6 hours. After simmering for 6 hours turn heat down to warm/low heat to steep (not boil) the herbs like you would a cup of tea. Steep overnight.

The next morning/day strain the liquid from the herbs by laying a couple of layers of cheesecloth over your strainer. Strain liquid into a clean container then heat herbal liquid and bring to a boil for 15 minutes to kill any bacteria. Compost the strained herbs in your garden.

Then add:

16 oz of vegetable glycerin,

60 oz honey

3 tablespoons of citric acid

Stir and let the mixture mingle for 15 minutes or so. When ready to bottle, use a candy thermometer to check the temperature of the liquid. You want the temperature at 190* to prevent any bacteria from growing in the tonics. Maintain this heat temperature throughout bottling.

While waiting for your liquid to reach the accurate bottling temperature, prepare your canning jars. Sterilize jars and lids.

Once your bottles are sterilized and your herbal liquid is at the right temperature, add the tonic liquid to the hot jars. Fill to ½" from top of jar and cap. Let cool overnight. Check to make sure all the jars are sealed properly then store them. Tonics can be stored for 8 months.

Once you open a jar of tonic for use, you must Refrigerate it. The tonic will last for 2 months in the refrigerator once it has been opened. Sediment in the bottom of the jars is normal. Give the jar a little shake or stir to mix the sediment before taking.

How much to take:

Adult Folklore Dosage: Prevention 1 teaspoon 1 or 2 times a day. Serious Illnesses 1 teaspoon up to 4 times a day. Refrigerate after opening

DO NOT TAKE IF YOU ARE PREGNANT

REGARDING OTHER MATTERS OF HEALTH AND EXERCISE…

As always, before starting ANY exercise program and/or diet, check with your doctor and get his approval. This is all about being safe rather than sorry.

And if you feel you are suffering from depression, do know that there are medications available for you. Don’t be embarrassed; this malady goes with the RAT RACE. Therefore, see your doctor, and feel better fast!

Have you started that “Walking” for weight loss and healthy heart routine, yet? There is no excuse for not going it alone, joining with someone, or even forming a group to take that walk at least five (5) times a week and for 40 minutes minimum. So, stop procrastinating and get started. Walk to the tune of Scripture or your favorite upbeat music. And if you prefer the quiet, walk and meditate with the Most High. Just make sure that you make time for your body and soul. You’ll see and feel the difference after just two weeks.

THE 52-WEIGHT-LOSS DIET PLAN

Recently, I heard on the news that soon people will be spending a dollar out of every five for medical expenses. But if we are healthy, we don’t have to fall prey to this reckoning. As we grow older, we gain weight. I am a witness! And guess what? We do not need this extra load we are carrying. Therefore, I am doing something about it.

My friend and I have decided to embark upon a Weight-Loss Plan to lose 52 pounds in one year. We have started by promising to lose one pound a week. Thus, we hope to lose 52 pounds by the second week in February 2007. We have already started, but it’s not too late for YOU to join with us. So, hop on board and be a NEW HEALTHIER, LIGHTER WEIGHT this time next year!

Some of the things we plan to do are:

-limit our intake of “white” foods: rice, bread, potatoes, ice cream, sugar, etc.

-eliminate fast foods and processed foods

-walk at least 3 days a week

-do not eat after 8 P.M. – drink green tea with mint

-eat more fruits and veggies

-bake rather than fry meats

-drink plenty of water and tea

-weigh in every Tuesday and E-mail the other party the new weight status

A weekly journal is kept of weight lost or gained. And there is no fair or fun cheating.

If you do not need to lose 52 pounds, then adjust the plan to the amount of pounds to lose and time frame appropriate for you. If you need any help, let me know.

The Brothers are welcomed to join in the program. By all means, do feel free to share your progress. List your name, the date you started and the weight you lose each week, or if you prefer to only post periodically, then list the date you started and the amount you lost. If you have any special ways to lose a fast pound here and there, by all means do share.

Let’s start having some fun. The more competition, the more encouraged we will ALL be to stick with this Weight-Loss-Diet Plan.

On my first week, I lost four pounds, and I could feel the difference on my walk as I climbed the hills. My husband and I both try to walk three days a week for forty-five minutes. We do about four miles each day.

Don’t forget to first check with your doctor! Better safe than sorry.

Now, get started and feel good and look even better!

THE GREATEST “SPOIL” OF ALL

The Israelites received Reparations for their free labor when they left out of Egypt (Exodus 12:35,36, Psalm 105:37). Note also that Reparations were given to Ezra for the building of GOD’s Temple and for the service of the House of the LORD GOD of Israel (Ezra 7:12 –21). And it is prophesied that we will again receive compensation for our free labor and bondage in this modern-day Egypt (all the lands that took Israelites captive):

“The Lord said, Verily it shall be well with thy remnant; verily I will cause the enemy to entreat thee well in the time of evil and in the time of affliction.” Jeremiah 15:11

*****

EDITORIAL PERSPECTIVE:

WISE MEN, SORCERERS, AND MAGICIANS

ARE ALL THE RIGHT COMPONENTS

NEEDED TO ENTICE THE IGNORANT

TO BELIEVE IN A FALSE DEITY

“Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers:

now the magicians of Egypt,

they also did in like manner with their enchantments.”

Exodus 7:11

“When thou art come into the land

which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.

There shall not be found among you

any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire,

or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch.

Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard,

or a necromancer.

For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD:

and because of these abominations

the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee.

Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God.”

Deuteronomy 18:9 - 13

January 1, 2008

At this very moment, I am watching Larry King’s Special on “Mindfreak Criss Angel.” This young man is truly amazing. If you’ve ever watched his performances, then you know that he does magic, reads minds, walks on glass, impales himself on iron-spiked fences, levitates, and separates himself and others in half. He can do all these things because he is an illusionist. And though everyone is in awe of all that he does, the wise know that his acts are not reality.

However, what about the great majority of people who will believe that Criss Angel is a man with special powers? Give him a wig, a little ewe lamb, and a staff, wrap him in a sheet, and let him go about performing his magic, and watch people believe that he is JC fulfilling his second coming. Just imagine! Who but mankind is proved to be so gullible?

Actually, Criss Angel does indeed have special skills for his flawless performances. But are his so-called magic acts new inventions? Not at all! People have been practicing “Magic” and “Witchcraft” since before Jacob and his twelve sons went into Egypt. That we know for a fact.

While I was with the Ben Ammi Camp in Liberia, a brother’s uncle died, and the Liberians in the vicinity of our compound asked the brothers if they wanted to see the dead uncle stand up. I heard that the family told them “no”. These Liberians who made this offer must have been quite confident that they could accomplish their magic, especially if they had done so before. Consider how Pharaoh’s “wise men, sorcerers, and magicians” matched Moses GOD-given miracles act for act. And let’s not forget King Saul’s great sin in approaching a witch to bring up the Late Samuel, thereby, we know that such supernatural deeds are possible, but for sure are an abomination and forbidden for Israelites to do.

My point in bringing this topic to light is to suggest and prove that this so-called “magic” can be used to deceive people into believing all manner of things, and people will foolishly eat it all up, particularly if they cannot figure out the trick. Isn’t this what obviously happened and that gave rise to Christianity – the belief in a man-god?

“If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder, And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them; Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul. Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him.” Deuteronomy 13:1 - 4

Unfortunately, rebellious Israelites did not take heed and fell victim to this religious scam. Consequently, it was the GOD of Israel that prepared the way for the Children of Israel to believe in and serve false gods (Deu. 28:64), since this was their choice, as well as to forget HIM, two of the worst sins Israelites can commit. The GOD of Israel was so against Israelites serving other gods that HE Commanded that they not even mention the names of other gods (Exodus 23:13) and that they learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them (Jeremiah 10:2). But our forefathers defied their GOD of Israel and chose to forget HIM for the likes of a sterile and unproductive deity called JC.

“Can a maid forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? yet my people have forgotten me days without number.” Jeremiah 2:32

“A voice was heard upon the high places, weeping and supplications of the children of Israel: for they have perverted their way, and they have forgotten the LORD their God.” Jeremiah 3:21

“Therefore will I scatter them as the stubble that passeth away by the wind of the wilderness. This is thy lot, the portion of thy measures from me, saith the LORD; because thou hast forgotten me, and trusted in falsehood.” Jeremiah 13:24,25

The Gentile nations already had their false gods. Only Israelites had the CREATOR GOD, but they were so asinine and ignorant that they rejected HIM for the good-for-nothing, man-made gods of pagans. And when the European, Gentile nations saw the fall of the Israelite nation, they made it their staunch endeavor to make sure that GOD’s Chosen People would fall into Darkness and endure a deep sleep. Thus, those who knew about the ONE GOD of Israel and HIS curses upon HIS People mastered supernatural performances that would not only deceive the Children of Israel but would also deceive the world. The Gentiles knew well why the CREATOR GOD cursed HIS People, and they knew that if they were to remain in control of this Earth that the Israelites would have to believe in their false gods. They also knew that once the Israelites returned back to their GOD of Moses that HE would return back to them. Then Gentiles would no longer rule GOD’s Earth according to their evil agendas.

We have to figure that something happened at the time of the Roman Era to inspire and foster the false belief that a man is God and that God is a man. If someone performed the awesome stunts of Criss Angel back in the days of Roman control of the Land of Israel and caused a man to levitate, then we can imagine just how people welcomed belief in a man they could see and hear tout Christian nonsense. Could it really be that people with the same magic attributed to the magicians of Pharaoh’s day invented and fabricated a tale that grew into the making of a god call JC? Criss Angel makes us know that this is absolutely possible. The same acts of Criss Angel and Pharaoh’s magicians were indeed performed before, during, and after the Christian Era. Please see the article I found on the Internet concerning this issue in the FYI Section of this JOURNAL.

People attend “Christian Revivals” and other Christian functions, and they watch the handicapped, prompted by a clergyman, not only walk but run. They see people who said they were healed from some chronic illness with a touch and/or a shove from some pastor and countless other fixed healings. They watch the blind remarkably “see” after a prolonged loss of vision. Many of these performances are on television in humongous churches that hold thousands of people at a time. You can see folks singing songs about JC and holding up their hands so overwhelmed with tears of joy and giving thanks to their man-god. Surely you have seen these gatherings. And it’s all the same with Ben Ammi. The people of his Camp and those wherever seem to think that because he was instrumental in setting up a Camp in Liberia and in Israel that he has to be JC, the Messiah. Right! It is so strange how people look for reasons to believe in a man and not look for reasons to believe in the GOD that Created the Heavens and the Earth.

“To whom will ye liken me, and make me equal, and compare me, that we may be like? They lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver in the balance, and hire a goldsmith; and he maketh it a god: they fall down, yea, they worship.

They bear him upon the shoulder, they carry him, and set him in his place, and he standeth; from his place shall he not remove: yea, one shall cry unto him, yet can he not answer, nor save him out of his trouble.

Remember this, and shew yourselves men: bring it again to mind, O ye transgressors.

Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me,” Isaiah 46:5 – 9

“Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.” Jeremiah 6:16

The former things of old and the old paths of which the GOD of Israel speaks concern the keeping of HIS Righteous Law and the fabulous things HE did for HIS People.

“Now when I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, behold, thy time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over thee, and covered thy nakedness: yea, I sware unto thee, and entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord GOD, and thou becamest mine. Then washed I thee with water; yea, I throughly washed away thy blood from thee, and I anointed thee with oil. I clothed thee also with broidered work, and shod thee with badgers' skin, and I girded thee about with fine linen, and I covered thee with silk. I decked thee also with ornaments, and I put bracelets upon thy hands, and a chain on thy neck. And I put a jewel on thy forehead, and earrings in thine ears, and a beautiful crown upon thine head. Thus wast thou decked with gold and silver; and thy raiment was of fine linen, and silk, and broidered work; thou didst eat fine flour, and honey, and oil: and thou wast exceeding beautiful, and thou didst prosper into a kingdom. And thy renown went forth among the heathen for thy beauty: for it was perfect through my comeliness, which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord GOD.” Ezekiel 16:8 – 14

“But thou didst trust in thine own beauty, and playedst the harlot because of thy renown, and pouredst out thy fornications on every one that passed by; his it was. And of thy garments thou didst take, and deckedst thy high places with divers colours, and playedst the harlot thereupon: the like things shall not come, neither shall it be so. Thou hast also taken thy fair jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given thee, and madest to thyself images of men, and didst commit whoredom with them, And tookest thy broidered garments, and coveredst them: and thou hast set mine oil and mine incense before them. My meat also which I gave thee, fine flour, and oil, and honey, wherewith I fed thee, thou hast even set it before them for a sweet savour: and thus it was, saith the Lord GOD.” Ezekiel 16:15 – 19

“O israel, return unto the LORD thy God; for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity.” Hosea 14:1

“Sanctify ye a fast, call a solemn assembly, gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the land into the house of the LORD your God, and cry unto the LORD,” Joel 1:14

Unequivocally, we have an overabundance of GOD’s Acts that prove HIM to be the ONE True and Living GOD, but yet our forefathers chose to reject HIM. Even now, some Israelites choose to still add alien teachings to GOD’s LAW and follow after another god. Sadly, some of us are not satisfied with the GOD of Israel – the GOD that Created the Heavens and the Earth and all things therein ALL BY HIMSELF and the GOD that cannot fail, and they choose to look for another. What a shame, and what a loss for them! Some people like believing in lies. That’s a shame, too. But GOD’s WORD at the mouth of HIS Prophets speaks volumes, and no man can dismiss the WORD Our GOD has left for us who are living today. Our GOD removed HIMSELF from HIS Holy Land and cast us into the hands of our enemies to serve them for disobedience to HIS LAW and for serving false gods. That is a fact! And yet this evidence of our captivity is still not reason enough for Israelites to return to their ONE TRUE GOD and embrace the Way of Life HE designed in Heaven, especially for us (Exodus 24:12).

“The LORD hath done that which he had devised; he hath fulfilled his word that he had commanded in the days of old: he hath thrown down, and hath not pitied: and he hath caused thine enemy to rejoice over thee, he hath set up the horn of thine adversaries.” Lamentations 2:17

“Therefore, behold, I, even I, will utterly forget you, and I will forsake you, and the city that I gave you and your fathers, and cast you out of my presence:”

Jeremiah 23:39

“And I will deliver them to be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth for their hurt, to be a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a curse, in all places whither I shall drive them.” Jeremiah 24:9

“Mischief shall come upon mischief, and rumour shall be upon rumour; then shall they seek a vision of the prophet; but the law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the ancients.” Ezekiel 7:26

“My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and upon every high hill: yea, my flock was scattered upon all the face of the earth, and none did search or seek after them.” Ezekiel 34:6

If GOD said none did search or seek after them, then JC’s “Coming” and his sending disciples to the Lost Sheep was all a joke.

“Though they bring up their children, yet will I bereave them, that there shall not be a man left: yea, woe also to them when I depart from them! ” Hosea 9:12

“Therefore night shall be unto you, that ye shall not have a vision; and it shall be dark unto you, that ye shall not divine; and the sun shall go down over the prophets, and the day shall be dark over them. Then shall the seers be ashamed, and the diviners confounded: yea, they shall all cover their lips; for there is no answer of God.” Micah 3:6,7

How and in what way can these verses be compatible with GOD sending JC to save the Children of Israel? And the fact that JC did not save them, certainly proves his inability to do so, as well as proves that he is not GOD!

The wise will understand that these passages are just more evidence that the CREATOR GOD of Israel DID NOT send JC to the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel, for they were well scattered into all the world serving their enemies at the time of JC’s so-called “Coming”.

“And thou, even thyself, shalt discontinue from thine heritage that I gave thee; and I will cause thee to serve thine enemies in the land which thou knowest not: for ye have kindled a fire in mine anger, which shall burn for ever.” Jeremiah 17:4

But we know that the Merciful GOD of Jacob, the GOD of the Land of Israel, will not allow this to happen but only for a time. And no matter what illusions the people of JC’s day were witnessing, they were not the works of the Most High CREATOR GOD of Israel.

Illusions, magic, and sorcery are just that – acts unrelated to the ALL-Mighty, True and Living GOD. These acts are not evidence of a connection to Divinity. No doubt, there was a religions man who believed in God during the Roman Era, and some magician got him to levitate over water and disappear from one place and appear in another. As a result, the magician made a believer out of many, and thus the birth of the JC tale. Of course they had to give this man a beginning, so the founding fathers searched the foundation of GOD’s Truth for a place to link their trumped up man-god. And they found it in the lineage of King David.

“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.” Isaiah 9:6,7

The founding fathers of Christianity associated JC with the seed of King David, and that was their fatal mistake. If for no other reason, this revelation alone nailed the JC coffin shut before he could come out of the virgin’s womb. Unbeknownst to these religious zealots, this was the major error that completely eliminates any credibility in the “New Testament” man called JC.

If JC were to actually sit on the throne of King David, then he would defy the CREATOR GOD’s Commandment. JC does not quality for being called a “King” in Israel, and therefore, he cannot sit upon the throne of King David. JC is not one from among Israelite brethren - the Tribe of Judah, mind you, which is the only Tribe of the Kings of Israel.

“When thou art come unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, and shalt possess it, and shalt dwell therein, and shalt say, I will set a king over me, like as all the nations that are about me; Thou shalt in any wise set him king over thee, whom the LORD thy God shall choose: one from among thy brethren shalt thou set king over thee: thou mayest not set a stranger over thee, which is not thy brother.” Deuteronomy 17:14,15

JC could not even be a prophet and for the same reason that he could not have been a king. JC is not from the SEED of GOD’s Covenant People (Hosea 5:9), and therefore, he was not qualified to speak in GOD’s Holy Name. And as it is written, “The prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I HAVE NOT COMMANDED him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, EVEN THAT PROPHET SHALL DIE” (Deuteronomy 18:15 – 20).

True, this is GOD’s WORD, and this is what we must accept. So, regardless of whom the Angel, the Prophet, the Priest, or the king of Israel, it is and will always be the GOD of Israel that has the POWER and that will make all the decisions that will bring HIS WORD to fruition. Hence, the CREATOR GOD is the ONE in absolute control – not HIS Angels, HIS Prophets, Priests, kings of Israel, or this hyped-up man, JC, who (as we can see) has not saved but yet compares himself with the All-Mighty CREATOR GOD. For some unknown reason, those who believe in JC will also make him the “Messenger” in Malachi 3:1. We’ve got to stop taking one verse and running with it just because it seems to support our beliefs. It is most important to read whole books and chapters of the “Old Testament” because only then can we get a valuable understanding. First of all JC cannot be a Priest of the Most High GOD, either. All GOD’s High Priests are from the Tribe of Levi, the sons of Zadok. And in reference to Malachi 3:1, this “Messenger” is a Priest – not JC!

“For the priest's lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth: for he is the messenger of the LORD of hosts.” Malachi 2:7

Let us never forget that when the Israelites cried unto their GOD of Israel, HE heard them and interceded in their behalf. Thus, we cannot afford to lose sight of the fact that it was ALWAYS the GOD of Israel that sent numerous Saviors at different times to deliver HIS People out of the hands of their enemies (Nehemiah 9:27). And every single one of these Saviors was successful in his/her mission to fulfill GOD’s Judgment, i.e., everyone EXCEPT FOR JC! Do the research; from his beginning unto this day, JC has not proved himself to be anything but a myth that nonetheless poignantly causes much despair for all who believe in this baseless man-god.

This man, JC, so the tale goes, was supposedly born of a virgin by way of an erroneous “Immaculate Conception,” which makes him seed of no one. Hence, if he was not conceived of man, then he cannot be from the seed of King David or even produce an offspring. Like rocks; they are neither conceived nor are they able to procreate – much like JC. And because he came and went without proving himself to be a “Saviour” it would be wise to include him among the convoluted works of the heathen – the Rulers of this present world system who have belabored so earnestly to deceive the world with a dead religion (void of knowledge of GOD and HIS Truth) called Christianity in an effort to keep the Twelve Tribes of Jacob in Darkness, so that Gentiles may reign forever as the head and the Israelites the tail.

As it is written, King David was a man after GOD’s own heart (I Sam. 13:14). Why? His constant prayer was to the GOD of Israel, and his GOD was the Power assisting him. More importantly King David knew that if his seed were to reign forever on the throne in Jerusalem, then they would have to keep the Charge of the GOD of Israel (I Kings 2:1-2). Again, this is something of which JC showed no respect but inculcated a new religion, whereby, he became magnified and one with GOD – something blasphemous and unfounded and contradictory to the teachings of the GOD of Israel, HIS WORD, and HIS Book of the Law. Hence, GOD’s reason for choosing David, a man who Feared HIM to obey HIM and of course be a man after HIS own Heart. And in this same vein, as we well know, the CREATOR GOD of Israel had a Temple built for HIM, HIS Glory, HIS Praise, and for HIS Holy Name’s Sake. The people who ministered in this Holy Temple knew well that it was a Holy Place for sacrifices ONLY to the GOD of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob/Israel, that it was a place for the Nation of Israel (GOD’s Covenant People) to worship and eat their sacrifices before HIM, and that it was a place renown for prayer to the GOD of Israel whenever HIS People were in trouble and for Gentiles, as well when they would turn to HIM, whether the Temple was standing or not (I Kings 8^th Chapter). There is no place for JC in all GOD’s Creation, for HE wants all the Glory and the attention of our heart, soul, and might.

“Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes. And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates.” Deuteronomy 6:4 - 9

If people will connect the dots, research GOD’s WORD at the mouth of HIS true Prophets (because you can’t find it or them in the “NT”), and weigh what GOD has said, as opposed to what man has said he was inspired to write, then they will see that JC’s profile and job description are not at all consistent with the events that have occurred since man designated him so-called “Saviour of the World”.

A serious point I would like to make is concerning the writers of the “New Testament”. From where did they get their religious ideals?

The men of GOD to whom HE spoke all received the WORD of GOD and did HIS Charge. AND they are all from the “Old Testament” where these books quote verbatim, “Thus Saith the LORD”. The people of the “New Testament” existed at a time when GOD had ceased to send visions to HIS Prophets. Therefore, how can any assurance of GOD’s WORD be deduced from these authors of the “New Testament” books? These writers had no Spiritual channel or connection to the CREATOR GOD of Israel that could provide them visions concerning that which would be and what they needed to do.

“Her gates are sunk into the ground; he hath destroyed and broken her bars: her king and her princes are among the Gentiles: the law is no more; her prophets also find no vision from the LORD.” Lamentations 2:9

“Mischief shall come upon mischief, and rumour shall be upon rumour; then shall they seek a vision of the prophet; but the law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the ancients.” Ezekiel 7:26

“They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek the LORD; but they shall not find him; he hath withdrawn himself from them.” Hosea 5:6

“Though they bring up their children, yet will I bereave them, that there shall not be a man left: yea, woe also to them when I depart from them! ” Hosea 9:12

Therefore, it is vital and imperative for us to keep in mind what GOD said – that HE would give HIS People and HIS Land into the hands of the heathen for their sins in order that we come to this critical and perilous point that now confronts us. And HE made it all come to pass hundreds of years before the so-called Christian Era, raising the eyebrows of those who know that there is good reason to question this religion that has made a man a god.

The Hebrew Scriptures (“OT”) are replete with a multitude of passages that denote and signify ONE GOD, the CREATOR GOD of Israel. And this same GOD is the ONE that Created the True Way of Life in the BEGINNING that fosters Righteousness if we will live and do it. It has been man who has invented the many diverse religions in order that he will confuse and deceive and sustain power over GOD’s Covenant People and the world. Moreover, the unfounded reason to believe that there is a Trinity, borders on insanity and scriptural illiteracy. And as it is written, GOD’s People are destroyed for lack of knowledge and mainly because they reject it!

“And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.” Zachariah 14:9

“For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the LORD, to serve him with one consent.” Zephaniah 3:9

“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.” Hosea 4:6

The GOD of Israel desires knowledge of HIMSELF and what HE stands for, and when we transform HIM into two/three entities, then we make HIM literally a hybrid god of no significance, for then this would not be the GOD of the Hebrew Scriptures. The CREATOR GOD of the “Old Testament” is relentless about being ONE GOD – the First and the Last.

“Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.” Isaiah 44:6

“Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.”

Deuteronomy 6:4,5

If GOD said HE knows of no other God and that HE cursed the Israelites from the Land of Israel to serve their enemies in foreign lands for turning to false gods, then does that not prove that JC and Mr. Trinity are both a farce?

“He that sacrificeth unto any god, save unto the LORD only, he shall be utterly destroyed.” Exodus 22:20

“And Samuel spake unto all the house of Israel, saying, If ye do return unto the LORD with all your hearts, then put away the strange gods and Ashtaroth from among you, and prepare your hearts unto the LORD, and serve him only…” I Samuel 7:3

JC was and still is a “strange god” that causes Israel and the world to worship falsely.

“Because my people hath forgotten me, they have burned incense to vanity, and they have caused them to stumble in their ways from the ancient paths, to walk in paths, in a way not cast up;” Jeremiah 18:15

The CREATOR GOD’s Everlasting Covenant was made between HIM and Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob/Israel. JC had nothing whatsoever to do with it! This man-god was neither in the Wilderness nor in the Land with the Israelites blabbing and boasting, or for sure they would have killed him. His boasting of being a God is contrived and unchallenged in the “New Testament”. The GOD of Israel was with HIS People the whole while showing HIS Power and Might and proving HIMSELF to HIS People and the surrounding nations that HE ALONE is the True and Living GOD.

“And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day when I chose Israel, and lifted up mine hand unto the seed of the house of Jacob, and made myself known unto them in the land of Egypt, when I lifted up mine hand unto them, saying, I am the LORD your God; In the day that I lifted up mine hand unto them, to bring them forth of the land of Egypt into a land that I had espied for them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands: Then said I unto them, Cast ye away every man the abominations of his eyes, and defile not yourselves with the idols of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.” Ezekiel 20:5 – 7

“And I that am the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt will yet make thee to dwell in tabernacles, as in the days of the solemn feast.” Hosea 12:9

“Yet I am the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt know no god but me: for there is no saviour beside me.” Hosea 13:4

We have a GOD, and a JEALOUS ONE, at that. Therefore, you can be sure that when we magnify another deity, HE is not happy! When the GOD of Israel said “Thou shalt have no other gods before ME”, that HE doesn’t know of any other god (Isaiah 44:8), that beside HIM there is no savior (Isaiah 43:11), that we must Bless in HIS Name (Deu. 10:8), and swear by HIS Name (Deu.6:13,14), then accordingly, didn’t HE make HIMSELF perfectly clear that HE ALONE is GOD and that we must serve ONLY HIM? Why deal with the consequences of defying the CREATOR GOD?

The punishment for the person enticing another to serve other gods is death (Deuteronomy 13:6 - 10) because “he hath sought to thrust thee away from the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage”. WE HAVE A GOD AND A MIGHTY AND POWERFUL ONE AT THAT, AND GIVEN ALL THAT HE HAS DONE FOR US, WE DO NOT NEED ANOTHER!!

We can recall Naaman with much hope in our hearts that if we should contract any kind of disease or malignant cancer that Our GOD of Israel will also heal us. GOD cured Naaman of his leprosy, and he acknowledged that GOD was due the Glory and Praise for healing him: “Behold, now I know that there is no god in all the earth, but in Israel:” (II Kings 5:15). Elijah performed a test that would prove the identity of the True and Living GOD. He built an altar “in the name of the LORD” of twelve stones (for the Twelve Tribes of Israel), made a trench about the altar, put the wood and bullock in order, and filled four barrels with water and poured it on the sacrifice and the wood three times. Then Elijah asked the True GOD to make it known that HE is GOD in Israel. He then asked GOD to hear him that the people would know that HE is the LORD GOD. At that time, the GOD of Israel consumed the burnt sacrifice, the wood, the stones, and the dust and licked up the water that was in the trench (I Kings 18:30 - 39).

It should not come as any surprise that no one, not King David, not King Solomon, and not Elijah, the Prophet, whom GOD took up in a chariot of fire, gave any credence to a man named JC. So, why should we?

THOU HAST NOT CALLED ON ME

“But thou hast not called upon me, O Jacob; but thou hast been

weary of me, O Israel.”

Isaiah 43:22

“Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your

God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will

cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter

rain in the first month.”

Joel 2:23

“And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name

of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem

shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom

the LORD shall call.”

Joel 2:32

I find it beyond belief and most alien to the teachings of GOD’s Servant and Prophet Moses that Israelites will have relentless admiration and desire to hold fast to JC, call him their Messiah and believe in him, thank him, and pray to him when he has not done one single thing to be worthy of ever being called a man of GOD, Saviour, and much less a God.

It is sinful the way GOD’s Inheritance (the Children of Israel) magnify JC above the Most High GOD of Israel.

“The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations. Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.” Psalm 33:11,12

“Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple.” Psalm 65:4

What did the Holy ONE of Israel need to say to believers in false gods like JC to cause them to understand that this is a sin worthy of death, and that we must make ONLY the CREATOR Our GOD and call upon ONLY HIM? When it was the GOD of Israel that gave us the Land of Canaan, why would we even choose to think of giving reverence to another god? When will we realize that trusting in other gods is our downfall? Consider the fact that if GOD will punish Moab, a people who are not HIS Covenant People, for magnifying themselves against HIM, then you can imagine what HE would do to HIS People Israel for doing the same thing.

“Make ye him drunken: for he magnified himself against the LORD: Moab also shall wallow in his vomit, and he also shall be in derision.

“And Moab shall be destroyed from being a people, because he hath magnified himself against the LORD.” Jeremiah 48:26,42

Moreover, of greater importance, the Most High CREATOR GOD that is, by HIS own admission, a JEALOUS GOD, has said to call on HIM! HE wants the attention. HE doesn’t have a connection with another nation – only the Children of Israel.

“I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely: for mine anger is turned away from him. I will be as the dew unto Israel: he shall grow as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon.” Hosea 14:4,5

“And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the LORD your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed.” Joel 2:27

Therefore, ALL the GLORY that Our GOD of Israel craves must come from us, HIS Covenant People.

“Thy people also shall be all righteous: they shall inherit the land for ever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified.” Isaiah 60:21

“I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.” Isaiah 42:8

I am reminded of the Scripture where Israelites (“the children of whoredoms”) depended on their lovers for their provisions (Hosea Second Chapter). And this so infuriated the GOD of Israel because HE was the ONE that fed them – not their lovers. Read and see that the GOD of Israel gave HIS People everything: a Kingdom flowing with milk and honey, fine linen, and gold and silver.

“I have caused thee to multiply as the bud of the field, and thou hast increased and waxen great, and thou art come to excellent ornaments: thy breasts are fashioned, and thine hair is grown, whereas thou wast naked and bare. Now when I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, behold, thy time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over thee, and covered thy nakedness: yea, I sware unto thee, and entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord GOD, and thou becamest mine. Then washed I thee with water; yea, I throughly washed away thy blood from thee, and I anointed thee with oil. I clothed thee also with broidered work, and shod thee with badgers' skin, and I girded thee about with fine linen, and I covered thee with silk. I decked thee also with ornaments, and I put bracelets upon thy hands, and a chain on thy neck. And I put a jewel on thy forehead, and earrings in thine ears, and a beautiful crown upon thine head. Thus wast thou decked with gold and silver; and thy raiment was of fine linen, and silk, and broidered work; thou didst eat fine flour, and honey, and oil: and thou wast exceeding beautiful, and thou didst prosper into a kingdom. And thy renown went forth among the heathen for thy beauty: for it was perfect through my comeliness, which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord GOD.” Ezekiel 16:7 - 14

So, again, WHY BELIEVE IN JC? All our needs have always been met by the GOD of Israel, not man, not Angels, not Prophets, and certainly not by JC – but by Our GOD that cares and loves us so much that HIS Promises still stand to be Our GOD, if only we will return to HIM and HIS Paths of Righteousness and call upon HIM, as HE has advised us to do.

“Sanctify ye a fast, call a solemn assembly, gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the land into the house of the LORD your God, and cry unto the LORD,

“O LORD, to thee will I cry: for the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness, and the flame hath burned all the trees of the field.” Joel 1:14,19

CRY UNTO THE LORD means just that! It does not mean for us to call on JC or any other man, woman, or god. It means CRY UNTO THE LORD OUR GOD OF ISRAEL – the ONE GOD responsible for our being!!!

“Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly: Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet.” Joel 2:15,16

“Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning: And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil. Who knoweth if he will return and repent, and leave a blessing behind him; even a meat offering and a drink offering unto the LORD your God?” Joel 2:12 – 14

“And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the LORD your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed. And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the LORD your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed.” Joel 2:26,27

It makes volumes of common sense to cry unto the GOD that caused our affliction, suffering, captivity, and desolation. After all, did not Our GOD tell us that there is none to plead our cause (Jeremiah 30:13)? JC did nothing for the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel, so wouldn’t that also mean that he is unable to help us, since he hasn’t? Thus, there is no reason to call on JC! Search the Hebrew Scriptures and see why Our GOD stopped hearing the prayers of HIS People.

“Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the LORD. Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens. We have transgressed and have rebelled: thou hast not pardoned. Thou hast covered with anger, and persecuted us: thou hast slain, thou hast not pitied. Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud, that our prayer should not pass through. Thou hast made us as the offscouring and refuse in the midst of the people.” Lamentation 3:40 - 45

O, Israel, if only we would seek after Our GOD of Israel, then HE will open our eyes and make us the wiser and our power with Our GOD will be restored to us, but not if we are so ignorant to look to a man-god and idols to trust in them.

“And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.” Genesis 32:28

“…of whom hast thou been afraid or feared, that thou hast lied, and hast not remembered me, nor laid it to thy heart? Have not I held my peace even of old, and thou fearest me not?...but he that putteth his trust in me shall possess the land, and shall inherit my holy mountain;” Isaiah 57:11,13

“The LORD also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the LORD will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel. So shall ye know that I am the LORD your God dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain: then shall Jerusalem be holy, and there shall no strangers pass through her any more.” Joel 3:16,17

Ashkenazim know these things, and today especially, they are Hell bent on keeping us out of the GOD’s Land of Israel. But truly, it is not up to them. Everything hinges on our return to Our GOD and to HIS Ways of Righteousness - all that HE warned us to take heed and do or be cast from the Land, as it stands unto this day.

“That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.” Deuteronomy 30:20

THE TWELVE TRIBES WERE NOT THERE

“The morning is come unto thee, O thou that dwellest in the land:

the time is come, the day of trouble is near,

and not the sounding again of the mountains.

Now will I shortly pour out my fury upon thee,

and accomplish mine anger upon thee:

and I will judge thee according to thy ways,

and will recompense thee for all thine abominations.

And mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity:

I will recompense thee according to thy ways

and thine abominations that are in the midst of thee;

and ye shall know that I am the LORD that smiteth.”

“Violence is risen up into a rod of wickedness:

none of them shall remain,

nor of their multitude, nor of any of their's:

neither shall there be wailing for them.”

Ezekiel 7:7 - 9,11

According to James 1:1, the Twelve Tribes of Jacob were not in the Land, and if you know anything about prophecy and its fulfillment, then the ramification of this information should make one wonder, “Who were those people calling themselves ‘Jews’ in GOD’s Land of Israel?” And if that doesn’t raise eyebrows, it should. You see, it would make no sense for the GOD of Israel to send JC to the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel if they weren’t there in the Land of Israel. Why don’t people realize that?! Plain and simple, the Israelites were cursed to fulfill the prophecies of Moses (Lev. 26^th and Deut. 28^th Chapters) to serve their enemies in foreign lands for all their abominations. The Ten Tribes had long since been scattered, and the remaining Tribes of Judah and Remnants of the others were scattered by the Grecians (Joel 3:6; Obadiah). Thus, the Israelites could not have been in the Land of Israel at the time of JC’s contrived “Coming”. Neither was the GOD of Israel there, as HE had withdrawn HIMSELF at the same time that HE ceased to give visions to HIS Prophets.

“Therefore now thus saith the LORD, the God of hosts, the God of Israel; Wherefore commit ye this great evil against your souls, to cut off from you man and woman, child and suckling, out of Judah, to leave you none to remain;” Jeremiah 44:7

“Her gates are sunk into the ground; he hath destroyed and broken her bars: her king and her princes are among the Gentiles: the law is no more; her prophets also find no vision from the LORD.” Lamentations 2:9

“They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek the LORD; but they shall not find him; he hath withdrawn himself from them.” Hosea 5:6

ISRAEL WILL RETURN TO THEIR GOD

“Afterward shall the children of Israel return, and seek the LORD their God,

and David their king;

and shall fear the LORD and his goodness in the latter days.”

Hosea 3:5

“I will not execute the fierceness of mine anger,

I will not return to destroy Ephraim: for I am God, and not man;

the Holy One in the midst of thee: and I will not enter into the city.”

Hosea 11:9

“So shall ye know that I am the LORD your God dwelling in Zion,

My holy mountain: then shall Jerusalem be holy,

and there shall no strangers pass through her any more.”

Joel 3:17

Ask yourselves, “Who did the GOD of Israel choose for HIS Witnesses? Was it not the Children of Israel? Did HE not prove to our forefathers in the Wilderness that HE ALONE is the ONE True GOD? Did HE not wreak fear in the surrounding nations in order that they would know that Israel’s GOD is the ONE and ONLY GOD (Joshua 2:9)? By HIS own admission, the GOD of Israel has only known the Children of Israel. Thus, it stands to reason that Israelites and not JC are HIS true Witnesses!

“Or hath God assayed to go and take him a nation from the midst of another nation, by temptations, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a mighty hand, and by a stretched out arm, and by great terrors, according to all that the LORD your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes? Unto thee it was shewed, that thou mightest know that the LORD he is God; there is none else beside him. Out of heaven he made thee to hear his voice, that he might instruct thee: and upon earth he shewed thee his great fire; and thou heardest his words out of the midst of the fire.” Deuteronomy 4:34 - 36

“Know therefore this day, and consider it in thine heart, that the LORD he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is none else.” Deuteronomy 4:39

“For the LORD's portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.

“So the LORD alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him.” Deuteronomy 32:9,12

“See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.” Deuteronomy 32:39

“I have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed, when there was no strange god among you: therefore ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, that I am God.” Isaiah 43:12

“If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our hands to a strange god; Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart”

Psalm 44:20,21

Sure, our forefathers were insane to seek false gods after the GOD of Israel had established them a Nation and a force to be reckoned with.

“Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast forgotten me, and cast me behind thy back, therefore bear thou also thy lewdness and thy whoredoms.

“And they shall recompense your lewdness upon you, and ye shall bear the sins of your idols: and ye shall know that I am the Lord GOD.” Ezekiel 23:35,49

Sure, they were weak to allow others to entice them to worship gods which were either formed or imagined by man. Sure, they absolutely used poor judgment without considering the benefits of having the CREATOR GOD that delivered, saved, and restored them to their Land that HE promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob their forefathers. And so much we deeply regret our abominations and horrific pain we have caused Our GOD. Let our prayers for forgiveness be constant and filled with penitence for all our great sins and transgressions our forebears and we have committed against Our Loving and Wonderful GOD of Israel. At the end of the day, we will rejoice in the Holy ONE of Israel and be thankful that we returned to HIM and that HE is Our SAVIOR.

“O Israel, thou hast destroyed thyself; but in me is thine help. I will be thy king: where is any other that may save thee in all thy cities? and thy judges of whom thou saidst, Give me a king and princes?” Hosea 13:9,10

“Thou shalt fan them, and the wind shall carry them away, and the whirlwind shall scatter them: and thou shalt rejoice in the LORD, and shalt glory in the Holy One of Israel.” Isaiah 41:16

Resulting from GOD’s Manifold Mercies, HE is waking up the “Dry Bones” so that they may live and seek HIS FACE, i.e., seek to know the Paths of Righteousness that lead to HIM and to HIS Salvation. How wonderful it is to read about the different ones removing JC from their lives and excluding the “New Testament” from their spiritual studies. And how Blessed they are to be led by GOD’s Righteous LAW and HIS Powerful WORD.

Let us not be so reserved about who we are, and let us not be complacent about our purpose for being. Our Loving GOD of Israel has chosen Israelites, HIS Covenant People, the SEED of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to show forth HIS PRAISE. And we can do this, and make Our GOD smile upon us, if it is in our hearts to do so in Truth and according to HIS Ways of Righteousness.

“The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken;” Deuteronomy 18:15

“For the LORD's portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.” Deuteronomy 32:9

“This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise.” Isaiah 43:21

“Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke: among the tribes of Israel have I made known that which shall surely be.” Hosea 5:9

Therefore, let us triumph in our capacity and celebrate Our GOD before the world. HE is the ONE True and Living GOD, and of a Truth, there is none other that has taken HIS place. Therefore, we must await Our GOD of Israel and leave other gods and those who believe in them to their prophesied destiny – eventual destruction.

PRAISE the GOD of Israel that we are more than just descendants of Slaves. Actually, the fact that we were Slaves throughout Gentile lands is our ticket home. This is our means of supporting the Spirit Our GOD has put in our hearts identifying us as HIS Chosen People. O yeah, we are definitely a “Special People unto Our GOD.

“For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.” Deuteronomy 7:6

We have serious work ahead of us, and we cannot fail this time. This time, we will fascinate the world with knowledge of Our GOD of Israel and make believers out of all who will hear the WORD of GOD and seek to follow HIS Blessed Ways of Righteousness, i.e., HIS Laws, Statutes, Judgments, and Ordinances. And what’s more important than that, Our GOD of Israel will at this same time take back HIS Universe and rid it of vices, evil, wickedness, deception, man-made gods and religions, sorrows, suffering, and cleanse HIS People, HIS Heavens, and HIS Earth. That means the 2000-year-old lie about a man-god called JC will finally be laid to rest FOREVER! I would think that given these 2,000 plus years of bewilderment while awaiting this absentee “Lord and Saviour” and without the fruits of any assurance and reason to rely and have faith in this man JC, that people are finally realizing that only the WORD of GOD is indeed the absolute Truth. GOD did not lie about what HE said HE would do to HIS People for not returning to HIM and for not returning from their wicked ways.

“And I will fan them with a fan in the gates of the land; I will bereave them of children, I will destroy my people since they return not from their ways.”

Jeremiah 15:7

“There is none to plead thy cause, that thou mayest be bound up: thou hast no healing medicines. All thy lovers have forgotten thee; they seek thee not; for I have wounded thee with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one, for the multitude of thine iniquity; because thy sins were increased. Why criest thou for thine affliction? thy sorrow is incurable for the multitude of thine iniquity: because thy sins were increased, I have done these things unto thee.” Jeremiah 30:13 - 15

That has been the prophecy, but now Our Merciful and Loving GOD of Israel is awakening the “Dry Bones” to HIS Truth.

WE HAVE A GOD, AND HE AWAITS US

HE WILL NOT ALTER HIS LAW,

AND HE WILL NOT ALLOW THE WORSHIP OF ANOTHER

THEREFORE,

WE MUST CONFORM TO HIS WAYS!

Our GOD of Israel said, ”In their affliction they will seek me early” (Hosea 5:15). Why must we be afflicted? Why can’t we just be obedient and follow the Paths of the GOD of Israel? We have a Covenant to fulfill in Righteousness for Our GOD’s Holy Name’s Sake.

“And I that am the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt will yet make thee to dwell in tabernacles, as in the days of the solemn feast.” Hosea 12:9

“But the LORD, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great power and a stretched out arm, him shall ye fear, and him shall ye worship, and to him shall ye do sacrifice. And the statutes, and the ordinances, and the law, and the commandment, which he wrote for you, ye shall observe to do for evermore; and ye shall not fear other gods. And the covenant that I have made with you ye shall not forget; neither shall ye fear other gods. But the LORD your God ye shall fear; and he shall deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies.” II Kings 17:36 – 39

“For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the LORD of hosts…” Malachi 3:6,7

O Israel, let us return unto Our GOD of Israel for HE ALONE is able to forgive, heal, and save us. We owe it to HIM to have the chance to prove HIMSELF to us, the SEED of the Twelve Tribes of Israel who are coming out of captivity! So, now, let’s give HIM that opportunity.

“And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee.” Exodus 15:26

“Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.” Hosea 6:1

The SEED of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob will rejoice in the GOD of Israel, and HE will finally joy in HIS People.

“And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the LORD; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.” Isaiah 25:9

“For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; he will save us.” Isaiah 33:22

“But thus saith the LORD, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children.” Isaiah 49:25

“Therefore fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, saith the LORD; neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be in rest, and be quiet, and none shall make him afraid.” Jeremiah 30:10

“And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.” Jeremiah 31:34

“Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation.” Habakkuk 3:18

“The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.”

Zephaniah 3:17

“Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. Delight thyself also in the LORD: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.” Psalm 37:3 – 6

“Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me; There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any strange god. I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.” Psalm 81:8 - 10

And won’t that be a glorious time to be alive when we see the Salvation of the CREATOR GOD, and when we are so Blessed to live in HIS Ways of Righteousness, in HIS Peace, and in HIS Happiness, the way HE has wanted since CREATION!

THE SMOKESCREEN

We can assume the Universe was established by a “Big Bang,” or we can seek a more intelligent theory.

The more intelligent reasoning is that a Supreme Being did in fact Create the Heavens, Earth, and all things therein. Then the issue becomes, “Did this Supreme Being intend for HIS CREATION to exist in such a chaotic state of absolute Hell, as it is now?” If not, then it is incumbent upon us to seek answers for the present horrific state of affairs in the Land of Israel and the rest of the Middle East that is capable of spreading to other countries even to the United States.

It is not likely that this Supreme Being did not advise the people of HIS Creation IN THE BEGINNING of how to live in goodness and in peace with each other, which certainly entailed how to worship HIM for giving them life. For there not to exist harmony and happiness on this Earth, it is evident that from the looks of things and from the ever-present catastrophic events taking place on Earth, this Supreme Being is furious with the peoples HE Created.

This is where we are now. The CREATOR is Judging the peoples of HIS Creation and is taking back HIS Universe.

History proves that Jerusalem is the Holy City of the GOD of Israel, that the Israelites are HIS Chosen, Covenant People, and that the Land of Israel belongs to HIM, as well. So, why all the attention given to this area of the world that is proving to be the catalyst leading to the end of this present world system?

The Palestinians have been in the land since the reign of King Saul, and the European Israelis have been a State since 1948, opening their doors to other converted Europeans and whomsoever else wishing to take part in this Talmudic process and live off the fat of GOD’s Holy Land. The Palestinians and the Israelis have been at war ever since. If these two groups can live together anywhere in the world except in Israel, then there must be a very good reason why. However, the reason is not one that Israelis desire to make public. Israeli hatred of the Arabs is not at all the issue. There exists a more profound reason than that. Finger pointing at the Arabs is but the ubiquitous smokescreen presented to the world.

THE TRUTH ABOUT CONVERSION TO SO-CALLED “JUDAISM”

The world should connect the dots and learn the truth regarding the Europeans who control GOD’s Holy Land. There is no way the GOD of Israel will accept a conversion process that changes Europeans, Americans, and Middle Easterners into “Jews.” GOD’s Covenant is with Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and their SEED. Accordingly, how can we dismiss the fact that Abraham was called out of Ur of the Chaldeans – NOT out of Europe. GOD well knows HIS Chosen People, no matter that HE took their identity from them and cast them from HIS Land.

And their being scattered into the “Four Corners of the Earth” to serve their enemies has everything to do with the problems in the Middle East, as this crisis relates to the CREATOR GOD taking back HIS Universe, HIS Holy Land, HIS Holy City, and HIS Chosen People. The Israelis know this. They see the handwriting on the wall, but they are fighting the CREATOR GOD tooth and nail. That’s what this war is all about - Israeli control - to keep out the SEED of Jacob whom GOD is calling home. Hence, the Israelis, even if time permitted, would not give the Palestinians their State for fear the Israelites would seek to live there also. And just for the record, one can learn about the true identity of the descendants of Jacob by reading what the CREATOR GOD of Israel said would befall them in Leviticus 26^th and Deuteronomy 28^th Chapters.

The Israelis have a rabid requirement to control all the Land of Israel including the Palestinian territories for one reason and for one reason only, which has everything to do with their “Law of Return.” The Israelis and their Rabbinute (their religious party) are ever aware that the CREATOR GOD of Israel has a Covenant People – The Twelve Tribes of Jacob, and they know that according to Biblical Prophecy the CREATOR GOD of the Land of Israel and this Universe will restore HIS Chosen People to their heritage. For obvious reasons, in no way do the Israelis (European converts to what’s called “Judaism,” which is of their own making) want this to happen, for then they will no longer have control of the Land of Israel at all. However, they know their days are numbered.

“Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I have lifted up mine hand, Surely the heathen that are about you, they shall bear their shame. But ye, O mountains of Israel, ye shall shoot forth your branches, and yield your fruit to my people of Israel; for they are at hand to come. For, behold, I am for you, and I will turn unto you, and ye shall be tilled and sown: And I will multiply men upon you, all the house of Israel, even all of it: and the cities shall be inhabited, and the wastes shall be builded:”

Ezekiel 36:7 – 10

Now, the Truth is out. This is the reason for the decades of turmoil, death, and destruction over GOD’s Holy Land. And of a Truth, the Israeli powers-that-be have no qualms about their dilemma. They are prepared to fight to the end, but who are they really fighting? It all has to do with what prophecy foretells, and what must be fulfilled.

Conversely, Israelis are putting too much false hope in their military powers. When it comes to the Children of Israel, the CREATOR GOD fights their battles, and since it is time for their return, there is nothing Israeli’ weaponry can do to stop GOD’s Commandment from manifesting.

The Israelites were formed to show forth GOD’s Praise and to be a light to the world for HIS Ways of Righteousness – HIS Book of the Law (the teachings of the Prophet Moses – NOT the Talmud compiled by European “Jews”).

“Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein: I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;”

Isaiah 42:5,6

“This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise.” Isaiah 43:21

And it is for this reason the Supreme Being, or rather the CREATOR GOD of Israel is taking back HIS magnificent Universe and making it a place of Divine Peace, one that Exalts and Magnifies HIM for all HIS Wondrous Works.

The CREATOR GOD has held HIS Peace for a very long time, all because of the curses HE put on HIS Chosen People for forsaking HIM for false gods and for rejecting HIS LAW. Their rebellion caused GOD to cast HIS People into the hands of the heathen, and HE went into seclusion permitting Gentiles to run the world and teach HIS People a lesson that would send them running back to HIM seeking forgiveness with contrite spirits.

“I have long time holden my peace; I have been still, and refrained myself: now will I cry like a travailing woman; I will destroy and devour at once.” Isaiah 42:14

For a long time people believed that the European “Jews” were really the people of the Bible, but the CREATOR knows HIS Chosen People, the SEED of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the men with whom HE made an Everlasting Covenant (Genesis 17:1 – 21).

From the Slave Trade to world hatred, and enduring racism and discrimination all over the world, Blacks have suffered at the hands of those who ruled over them. But now, the CREATOR GOD of Israel is awakening the Dry Bones and calling HIS People home to the chagrin and utter dismay of European Israelis who are helpless to do anything about it but who still have plans to thwart the WORD of GOD. Trust me, their efforts will not end in victory, and nothing since 1948 has even given them hope that they could take the place of the SEED of Jacob/Israel (Genesis 32:28) – neither by conversion nor submersion.

Thus, the reasons for the war for Israeli control of GOD’s Land and the reasons for a world of troubled times, disasters, endless suffering, despair, and many, many tears.

The CREATOR is taking back HIS Universe and keeping HIS Everlasting Promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the Patriarchs of the Nation of Israel.

“And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again stay upon him that smote them; but shall stay upon the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth. The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God. For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return: the consumption decreed shall overflow with righteousness.” Isaiah 10:20 - 22

“And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.” Isaiah 11:11

“For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain.” Isaiah 66:22

“Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will bring again the captivity of Jacob's tents, and have mercy on his dwellingplaces; and the city shall be builded upon her own heap, and the palace shall remain after the manner thereof. And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small. Their children also shall be as aforetime, and their congregation shall be established before me, and I will punish all that oppress them. And their nobles shall be of themselves, and their governor shall proceed from the midst of them; and I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach unto me: for who is this that engaged his heart to approach unto me? saith the LORD.”

Jeremiah 30:18 – 21

“At the same time, saith the LORD, will I be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be my people. Thus saith the LORD, The people which were left of the sword found grace in the wilderness; even Israel, when I went to cause him to rest. The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee. Again I will build thee, and thou shalt be built, O virgin of Israel: thou shalt again be adorned with thy tabrets, and shalt go forth in the dances of them that make merry. Thou shalt yet plant vines upon the mountains of Samaria: the planters shall plant, and shall eat them as common things. For there shall be a day, that the watchmen upon the mount Ephraim shall cry, Arise ye, and let us go up to Zion unto the LORD our God. For thus saith the LORD; Sing with gladness for Jacob, and shout among the chief of the nations: publish ye, praise ye, and say, O LORD, save thy people, the remnant of Israel. Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the coasts of the earth, and with them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her that travaileth with child together: a great company shall return thither. They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them: I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way, wherein they shall not stumble: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn. Hear the word of the LORD, O ye nations, and declare it in the isles afar off, and say, He that scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd doth his flock. For the LORD hath redeemed Jacob, and ransomed him from the hand of him that was stronger than he. Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and shall flow together to the goodness of the LORD, for wheat, and for wine, and for oil, and for the young of the flock and of the herd: and their soul shall be as a watered garden; and they shall not sorrow any more at all. Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, both young men and old together: for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow.” Jeremiah 31:1 – 13

“The remnant of Israel shall not do iniquity, nor speak lies; neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth: for they shall feed and lie down, and none shall make them afraid.” Zephaniah 3:13
