Christmas Mythology
This is a season of myth, legend,
folklore, fantasy, make believe and superstition. In the interest of mental and
spiritual health a few historical facts need to be kept in perspective. I know that
is difficult while being drowned in an emotional/devotional frenzy.
The
Christmas Jesus stories are pure mythology. That is a fact that is accepted and taught in the Religion departments
of every major university in this country, or the world. By "major" university I am talking
about those schools that are free of the financial and academic coercion that
is always present if the school is under the control of a Christian
denomination.
I will
use only one example out of many.
Mithraism (6th century B.C.
On
December 25th, there were glorious
celebrations with bells, hymns, candles, gifts, and "communion" was
observed by the followers.
From
December 25 until the Spring Equinox (Estra or Easter) were the "40
days" which later became Christian Lent. Mithras was finally placed in a rock tomb
called "
The
followers of Mithras believed there would be a day of "judgement"
when non-believers would perish and "believers" would live
forever with Mithras in "paradise," which is a Persian word,
not Hebrew.
All of
these mythological formulas were later absorbed, by diffusion, into the
Christian cult and their rituals.
As
hundreds of eminent scholars have brought to our attention, Christianism is
saturated with the mythology of Mithraism,

Religion in
I repeat
my opening paragraph: in the interest of spiritual and mental health, a few
historical facts need to be remembered as a balance in perspective. To ignore and
close our eyes to such knowledge is to walk around about a half bubble off
plumb.
There
is nothing wrong with fantasy, so long as it is recognized as such.

Tribute to the New Moon Revised:
The service of this solar/lunar calendar of TORAH
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
If the
dark phase of the moon begins the First Day of the month, then when the
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.”

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
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.

noise unto the God of Jacob.

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
“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 “
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
“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
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.

Solomon awoke; and, behold, it was a dream. And he came to

Since
we know for a fact that GOD’s Holy Seventh Day Sabbath is a “Sign” between HIM
and
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
“But the LORD, who brought you up out of the

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

“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

“And Moses gathered all the congregation of the children of
“Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be

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

Significantly,

If

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
“And the LORD said unto Moses, Come
up to me into the mount, and be there: and I will give thee tables of stone,
and a law, and commandments which I have written; that thou mayest teach them.” Exodus 24:12

The Israelite Way of Life was set in
stone in the Wilderness, as to how we are Commanded to prepare to live according
to ALL GOD’s LAW, as well as for HIS
Holy Seventh Day Sabbath of Complete REST, i.e., how we are supposed to keep
it, as well as the consequences for profaning it. And there are no exceptions.
CONCERNING “HOLY CONVOCATION”
The
issue stemming from the meaning of “Holy Convocation” written in Leviticus 23rd
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

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.

QUESTIONS ON “OLD TESTAMENT” BIBLE TRIVIA TO PONDER:
"And now, saith the LORD that formed me from the womb to
be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, Though Israel be not gathered,
yet shall I be glorious in the eyes of the LORD, and my God shall be my
strength. And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to
raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will
also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation
unto the end of the earth." Isaiah
49:5,6
Is this a Message that Isaiah prophesied for
Israelites living today?
***
"And he said, Lord GOD, whereby shall I know that I
shall inherit it? And he said unto him, Take me an heifer of three years old,
and a she goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a
turtledove, and a young pigeon." Genesis
15:8,9
What is the difference in a
turtledove and a young pigeon?
***
"And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was
separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou
art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward: For all the land
which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever. And I will
make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of
the earth, then shall thy seed also be numbered." Genesis 13:14 – 16
Is this passage concerning "the dust of the
earth" just a reference to the Twelve Tribes of Jacob or to both the Seed
of Ishmael and the SEED of Jacob Israel?

Sugar:
A Blessing and A Curse
With diabetes on the rise, childhood obesity a crisis, there’s an
increasing necessity to explore ways to reduce or even eliminate our
consumption of sugar. Although sugar is a natural part of most foods we consume
whether natural in the fruits we eat or broken down into sugars during the
digestive processes when vegetables breads, crackers, or cereals are eaten. It
is a natural component of our dietary requirement. Whether we know sugar as sucrose, dextrose,
maltose, glucose, lactose, fructose, or molasses, we must take a serious look
at how we can achieve the goal of lessoning or eliminating additional sugars
within our dietary reach, If only we would closely examine alternatives. Let’s
start the process by first looking at sugars with a new and heightened
awareness.
Sugars place a significant purpose in our diets because as carbohydrates
they are broken down and utilized by the body to provide quick energy to
accomplish work and for the operation of cellular activity. By the same token
sugars have been linked to tooth decay, obesity, diabetes, and cancers, even
though it can also be utilized for healing difficult wounds.
Looking for alternatives to refined sugars?
Think refined sugars are your only choices?
There’s a whole host of sweets on our shelves and in health food stores,
if we make a conscious effort to seek them out.
They can liven up our cups of coffee, baked goods, and other foods if
only we learn to appreciate their healthful benefits and learn how to utilize
them. Natural sweeteners like unrefined brown sugar, maple syrup, molasses,
barley malt, rice syrup, and honey are common. Each has its own unique flavor and uses that
will satisfy any craving for sweetness and at the same time provide the
necessary nutrients for energy and cellular activity
The main source of commercial sugar is sugar cane and sugar beets, from
which a variety of sugar products are made: Granulated white sugar is
common, highly-refined all-purpose sugar. Look for organic, unbleached
varieties for a tastier, more natural choice.
But do be aware that in the processing of this sugar non kosher items
such as pork bones may have been used in processing according to Shahrazad Ali.
This form of sugar is not the best. Unrefined brown sugar (a.k.a. raw
sugar) is slightly purified, crystallized evaporated cane juice. This
distinctive, caramel-flavored sugar comes in a variety of flavors Cane juice is
made by extracting and then dehydrating cane juice, with minimal loss of
original flavor, color, or nutrients
Honey is the better choice to use other than over processed sugars,
because it is already digested and processed by the honey bee. It is the
world’s oldest-known unrefined sweetener and its flavor and color are derived
from the flower nectar collected by bees.
This fact accounts for the wide variety of honeys available. The
varieties are:
Clover: mild flavored and
readily available in colors ranging from water white to light amber
Wildflower: generally dark
with a range of flavors and aromas depending on the flowers that provided the
nectar
Alfalfa: light in color with
a delicate flavor
Orange Blossom: a distinctive
citrus flavor and aroma and light in color
Keep honey in an airtight container below 50°F. Liquid honey will eventually crystallize but
can be returned easily to a liquid state by placing the container in warm water
for a few minutes.
Health note: Honey should not
be fed to children less than one year old because it can contain spores of
Clostridium Botulinum, the bacteria that causes botulism.
Other types of sweeteners that can be utilized are:
Maple syrup which is simply
the boiled down tree sap of the sugar maple tree. As for maple sugar, it’s
twice as sweet as white sugar and has a delicious, caramel flavor.
Until the arrival of the honeybee (introduced from
Molasses
With its strong, fragrant dark caramel flavor, expect great things from
molasses. It’s about 65% as sweet as sugar, and is in fact produced during the
refining of sugar. (The syrup remains after the available sucrose has been
crystallized from sugar cane juice.)
Many of us remember sorghum molasses that was eaten in the south in
place of syrups.
Light molasses is from the first boiling of the cane, dark molasses is
from the second, and blackstrap, the third.
My grandfather used molasses or honey with flowers of sulfur for spring
cleansing.
Barley Malt and Rice Syrup
Made from soaked and sprouted barley, which is dried and cooked down to
make a thick syrup, barley malt is a sweetener that’s slowly digested
and gentler on blood sugar levels other than other sweeteners. Rice syrup
is made in almost the same way, and is usually a combination of rice and
barley. Some of the best Chai teas are sweetened with rice syrup.
Agave:
Agave nectar is a multipurpose sweetener obtained from the core of the Mexican
Agave cactus, the same plant whose sap is a source of tequila. Agave nectar may
resemble honey. Keep in mind Agave
nectar is about 25% sweeter than sugar and that darker agave nectar has a more
robust flavor with a pleasant hint of molasses, too.
Other substitution and sweeteners are Turbinado, or
Sucanat granules or powders that can be
added to solids or liquids for sweetening.
Unsweetened apple sauce or other pureed fruits can be used to sweeten
oatmeal or other cooked cereals or use fruit juices to cook cereals in,
eliminating the need to sprinkle processed sugar granules on the cereal after
cooking.
Last but certainly not least there is Stevia. And according to a
botanical website the Stevia Leaf also known as - Stevia rebaudiana, Sweet
Leaf, Yerba Dulce, Sweet Herb of
So, you see there are alternatives you can use to reduce the consumption
of processed sugars and together with careful scrutinizing of food labels for
sugar content, using, alternative sweeteners, limiting additional use of
processed sugar, you will learn to reduce calories for weight reduction, and
control blood sugar levels.
With a little research and practice you can make all kinds of delicious
recipes blessed with the best natural sweeteners already available to us.

6 SUPER DRINKS/SUPER ELIXIRS of LIFE
#1--WATER (distilled)----Businesses
can NOT improve on WATER. No matter how much they tell us they have and can!
Drink it everyday, all day. And drink at least 32 ounces (QUART). Need that
WATER both INSIDE and OUTSIDE your BLOOD CELLS. Many of do not realize that
DEHYDRATION prunes the cells and they die off. In other words, a lot of us are
DYING out because we are DRYING out! WATER your cells...
#2--GRAPE JUICE----From JUICED grapes or store bought UNSWEETENED GRAPE JUICE w/a
little NON-ALUMINUM BAKING SODA. Contains RESEVERATROL that the CELLS need to
RESIST or SLOW DOWN their SENESCENCE (AGING). You can also DILUTE the grape
juice and soak your face in it. Let it dry. Makes a great COSMETIC property.
Especially, dealing with EYES (dark circles, bags, wrinkles). Get the GRAPESEED
OIL as a MOISTURIZER too...
#3--SEA SALT WATER----Drink what FISHES drink which makes them so
HEALTHY (when we are not POLLUTING their homes that is). 72-something-odd VITAL
MINERALS from IODINE to MAGNESIUM and other TRACE minerals like MOLYBEDNUM. The
medical world has taken us off SALT when we need it most in todays
society---because of the STRESS levels we live under. NO SALT, NO SPARK!! (its
the FIRE of the body and we need to act like PROMETHEUS and STEAL it back!
lol!). You NEED that SALT!! Especially, dealing with Stress. Lack of SALT
contributes to CHRONIC FATIGUE, INSOMNIA, HEADACHES, OSTEOPOROSIS among other
issues. If you are having any of these problems start drinking SEA SALT
WATER(half a teaspoon to 16 oz of distilled water). Salt also promotes
SEROTONIN and LITHIUM production which are key HORMONES which help you SLEEP,
RELAX by feeding your NERVES...
#4--SUGAR WATER----Say what?! Yup. Don't HATE on SUGAR WATER my friends
(excuse the MCCAINism). When weez were shorties, we drank sugar water all the
time. But at any rate, the short of the story is this: SUGAR is another
NUTRIENT we have been SCARED off of (see SALT above). Again, you need it. But
not like we normally EAT it, which is mostly as an EMPTY, INORGANIC substance.
Try SUCANAT which is a BROWN, NATURAL sugar that actually has VITAMINS in it!!
Hallejah, rite!? Try a quarter teaspoon in WARM water at least once a day. Why?
Did you realize that LACK of SUGAR can ALSO make you DIABETIC!! Yessir! Thatz
because when you deprive yourself TOO MUCH of SUGAR you MUCK up your PANCREAS'
ability to REGULATE sugar in your body!! And it defeats the purpose. Long story
short, start including NATURAL sugars like SUCANAT back into your EATING
PROGRAM. If you are DIABETIC, work it out with your FRANKENMED (doctor)...
#5--GREEN DRINKS----The best GREEN DRINKS should definitely include
KALE, SEA MOSS, CUCUMBERS and darker green LETTUCES, also MUSTARD, TURNIPS and
so on (but just a lil bit of them because they are strong)! Blend a TOMATO in
there too. And you good. Do not sweat all these commercials about BUYING green
drinks.
With these 4 greens and tomato you are getting all 4 TISSUE
SALTS: CALCIUM, MAGNESIUM, POTASSIUM and SODIUM----plus IRON and other Trace
minerals!
#6--FAT----SURPRISE,
I know some of yawl may not think of FAT as a LIQUID to drink--but, indeed, it
is! Its just as IMPORTANT as WATER! (ounce per ounce). WOMEN, especially, get
DEPLETED of Fat (around the REPRODUCTIVE area in many cases which, quite
naturally, AFFECTS a WOMANs ability to GET PREGNANT or even CARRY her CHILD to
TERM)! How much? Not MUCH 1-2 ounces (which aint nothing but 2-4 tablespoons)
per week and you are good. More if your situation is more drastic (say, like,
you are having a HARD time conceiving)!! You need more OIL. The best ones are
COCONUT, OLIVE, COD LIVER, FLAXSEED, even BUTTER! (if thatz more your FLAVA)...
I'm just the MESSENGER!

HOW MUCH BLOOD IS IN GROUND BEEF?
Have you ever thought about how much blood is in
ground beef? Well, you do the test. Place a pound of ground beef in a bowl and
cover it in water to be left overnight. Add
a little salt, but the experiment will work just as well if you don't. The next day do notice all the blood in the
bowl. Take a handful of the beef, about
the size of a tennis ball, and squeeze out as much of the water and blood as
possible. Turn and squeeze several
times.
If people have not followed this or other
procedure for eliminating blood from ground beef, then just imagine how much of
this blood is consumed. Perhaps there
are better methods of extracting blood from ground beef, and if so, I'd like to
hear about them.
If salt was added to the overnight water, then
consider the amount of salt used when seasoning the meat before cooking.

6 Ways to Reduce Inflammation -- Without a Statin Drug
Experts
predict that as a result of the so-called JUPITER study, which seemed to show
that the statin drug Crestor lowers the risk of heart attacks and strokes in
those with high levels of inflammation, will lead to millions of people being
put on statin drugs.
But the benefits were actually tiny -- about 0.72 percent of the
statin takers in the trial had a heart attack or stroke, compared with 1.5
percent of those taking placebos.
Instead of a
statin drug that comes with dangerous side effects, try these six measures instead:
1.
Stop smoking. Smoking hardens the arteries and
increase inflammation. But research shows you can reverse all the damaging
effects to your arteries within 10 years of quitting.
2.
Think olive oil,
fish, and nuts. People
who stick with a Mediterranean-style diet based on fruits, vegetables, nuts,
and olive oil can lower their levels of inflammation. It works by increasing
the amount of foods you eat that are rich in omega-3 fats, which fight
inflammation.
3.
Get active. Exercise a great way to lower
inflammation without any of the side effects associated with medications.
4.
Shrink your waist
size. If you're a
woman with a waist measurement of over 35 inches or a man with a waist of over 40
inches, you probably have high inflammation. Whittling a few inches off the
waist by reducing your portions and increasing activity can go a long way
toward solving that problem.
5.
Get enough sleep. A new study shows that elderly people
with high blood pressure who sleep less than 7.5 hours a night have
dramatically elevated chances of having a stroke or heart attack. Other
research has shown that both too little and too much sleep increases
inflammation. The American
6.
Reduce stress. High levels of stress hormones can lead
to the release of excess inflammatory chemicals.

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 our 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!

Yet, Americans prefer to live in these United States to raise their

that Israelites choose to also make their homes here, when it is perfectly
clear that "America the Beautiful" is none but the epitome of
cruelty, suffering, shame, failure, disgrace, evil and wickedness, particularly
for minorities.
Just as the CREATOR GOD dealt with the wickedness of the peoples in the
days of Noah with the Flood of forty days and forty nights, HE again has plans
to end the scandalous acts against HIS Holy Name, the atrocities, and the
abominations in "America the Beautiful", as well as many other places
on this Earth. And no one is more aware
of GOD's Wrath upon this country than are the descendants of the "Dry
Bones" whose eyes the GOD of Israel has opened. But yet, to my utter bewilderment, my people
do not seek a means to leave these
CONFERENCES
A PLENTY
BUT
SERIOUSLY LACKING IN FULFILLING PROPHECY
All these Israelite conferences and conventions scheduled annually, and
not one is called to make plans for an Exodus.
Don't get me wrong; the more gatherings we have to Magnify the GOD of
Abraham and HIS Righteous LAW, the better.
But our meetings today should be of greater substance, i.e., not only
about the GOD of Israel and HIS LAW and WORD to HIS Prophets, but about fulfilling
prophecy and should benefit HIS People and the Strangers who seek to follow HIS
Ways in the Land and in the Holy City that GOD chose to place HIS Holy
Name.
My problem also with some of these conferences is that they have people
traveling, holding meetings, and even serving hot food at the expense of
workers on GOD's Holy Seventh Day of Complete REST. I can understand how we would want to give
Praise and Glory to the Holy ONE of
"And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great
delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD?
Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the
fat of rams. For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness
is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the
LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king." I Samuel
15:22,23
King Saul wanted to make supplication to the LORD GOD
of Israel by offering a sacrifice rather than waiting for Samuel the Priest for
this ministry. But his disobedience
caused him to lose the Kingdom. Likewise
for Uzzah who put forth his hand to touch the Ark of GOD, when it is a Law that
only the Levites may handle it. Because
Uzzah was disobedient, he lost his life.
And that which blows my mind is that we know death is the punishment for
profaning GOD's Holy Seventh Day, yet we believe that the Holy ONE will not
fulfill that Judgment upon us as HE did upon our forefathers in the Wilderness
when the GOD of Israel Commanded that a man be stoned to death for picking up
sticks on HIS Holy Seventh Day. Unless
we can find GOD's WORD where HE revoked the Law of the Seventh Day Sabbath of
Complete REST, the consequences for violating this Ordinance still stands.
"And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Speak
thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall
keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations;
that ye may know that I am the LORD that doth sanctify you. Ye
shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one
that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work therein, that
soul shall be cut off from among his people. 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
Although these annual conferences and conventions
Exalt the Holy ONE and are enjoyable social affairs for meeting Brothers and
Sisters, I hope they are not becoming economic ventures rather than a means to
shed Light on the ONE True and Living GOD and HIS LAW. If the purpose is really to enlighten people
to GOD's Truth, we have YRBN, The Yisraelite Radio Broadcasting Network,
established by our Brother Yehudah (specifically for this purpose), Paltalk,
and The LawKeepers Forums for disseminating information on a minute-by-minute
and daily basis with no cost to anyone – although donations to YRBN for
this service would be very much appreciated.
Nevertheless, again, are these conferences and
conventions 100% what GOD wants at this time? From the days of leaving out of
the Wilderness, Our GOD of Israel has always instilled returning to HIM and HIS
LAW, sustaining our culture, and living Righteously in our
inheritance. Is not the number one
priority of returning to our heritage about returning to our inheritance, the

require your offerings, and the firstfruits of your oblations, with all your
holy things. I will accept you with your sweet savour, when I bring you out
from the people, and gather you out of the countries wherein ye have been
scattered; and I will be sanctified in you before the heathen. And ye shall
know that I am the LORD, when I shall bring you into the
So, are these conferences what Our GOD requires of us
at this time? Nothing even close to
holding conferences on GOD's Holy Day Sabbath.
If we are to call ourselves "Leaders", then follow the
criteria that makes for a Righteous Leader, as did King David, and keep GOD's
Holy Seventh Day at Complete REST, just as HE has Commanded!
"And keep the charge of the LORD thy God, to
walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his
judgments, and his testimonies, as it is written in the law of Moses, that thou
mayest prosper in all that thou doest, and whithersoever thou turnest
thyself:" I Kings 2:3
After all, no manner of conference or convention in
the States can suffice and please the Holy ONE like our supplications, vows to
keep HIS LAW, and our Praise of HIM in the Holy Land of Israel that HE gave to
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Nothing can
compare to our obedience to Our GOD and worshipping and appealing to the GOD of
Israel in
We are aware of our identity for one reason and one
reason alone. We know that we are
descendants of the Biblical Israelites because of GOD's love for the Nation of
Israel, for HIS Promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and for HIS Merciful
Kindness towards those of us who have returned to HIM. Otherwise, we would still be as dumb as
ignorance and dead as heathenism. Our
SAVIOR GOD of Israel would not have opened our eyes and brought us out of this
GROSS DARKNESS and to this point in our lives just for us to remain in the

When women are impregnated, they are expected to
bring forth fruit. When GOD brought the
Nation of Israel out of Ancient Egypt and gave them HIS LAW, they were expected
to live by HIS Ways of Righteousness FOREVER!
Our forefathers did not do as the Holy ONE had expected, and because of
their sins, those of us living today are again in bondage in foreign countries. However, now that Our GOD has opened our eyes
to the Truth of many matters, we should be rejoicing with the understanding
that Our GOD is again expecting us to be HIS Covenant People, to go into the
Land of Israel, to live under HIS LAW, to be obedient this time, and to show
forth HIS PRAISE, exactly as it has been prophesied. Surely, Our GOD was excited about bringing us
to HIS Light and our returning to HIM, so where is our excitement in our
efforts to return to our heritage?
Not to change the subject, but I used to wonder about
the men who lived 100 years ago and knew their identity, but died in the States
not ever setting foot in

things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before
thee, and thou shalt call them to mind among all the nations, whither
the LORD thy God hath driven thee, And shalt return unto the LORD thy God, and
shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and
thy children, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul; That then the LORD
thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return
and gather thee from all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath scattered thee.

thou take forth the precious from the vile, thou shalt be as my mouth: let them

people a fenced brasen wall: and they shall fight against thee, but they shall
not prevail against thee: for I am with thee to save thee and to deliver
thee, saith the LORD. And I will deliver thee out of the hand of the wicked,
and I will redeem thee out of the hand of the terrible." Jeremiah

you, your carcases, they shall fall in this wilderness. And your children shall
wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until your
carcases be wasted in the wilderness. After the number of the days in which ye
searched the land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear
your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know my breach of

"RIGHT NOW, IT IS NOT TIME"
"I AM WAITING ON GOD TO DELIVER US"
Be very cautious about saying, "It is not
time!" And more importantly, be
very cautious about repeating any of the sinful wrongs of our forefathers. We have a
GOD, and HE is the ONE True and Living GOD – the CREATOR GOD of Israel that
Created the Heavens, the Earth, and all this Universe. Our GOD being of ALL POWER is able to do ALL
THINGS, and that includes SAVING the Nation of Israel out of the hands of their
enemies numerous times proving that HE can and will DELIVER us from wherever we
are if we will only turn to HIM in Righteousness and be OBEDIENT to HIS Laws,
Statutes, and Judgments.
"So the children went in and possessed the land,
and thou subduedst before them the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, and
gavest them into their hands, with their kings, and the people of the land,
that they might do with them as they would. And they took strong cities, and a
fat land, and possessed houses full of all goods, wells digged, vineyards, and
oliveyards, and fruit trees in abundance: so they did eat, and were filled, and
became fat, and delighted themselves in thy great goodness. Nevertheless they
were disobedient, and rebelled against thee, and cast thy law behind their
backs, and slew thy prophets which testified against them to turn them to thee,
and they wrought great provocations. Therefore thou deliveredst them into the
hand of their enemies, who vexed them: and in the time of their trouble, when
they cried unto thee, thou heardest them from heaven; and according to
thy manifold mercies thou gavest them saviours, who saved them out of the hand
of their enemies. But after they had rest, they did evil again before thee:
therefore leftest thou them in the hand of their enemies, so that they had the
dominion over them: yet when they returned, and cried unto thee, thou heardest them
from heaven; and many times didst thou deliver them according to thy mercies;
And testifiedst against them, that thou mightest bring them again unto thy law:
yet they dealt proudly, and hearkened not unto thy commandments, but sinned
against thy judgments, (which if a man do, he shall live in them;) and withdrew
the shoulder, and hardened their neck, and would not hear. Yet many years didst
thou forbear them, and testifiedst against them by thy spirit in thy prophets:
yet would they not give ear: therefore gavest thou them into the hand of the
people of the lands." Nehemiah 9:24 – 30
And the GOD of Israel, Our ONLY SAVIOR, is ready to
hear us and DELIVER us again, if we will just make HIM Our GOD, return to HIS
LAW, and then genuinely appeal to HIM as did our forebears for Salvation and
REDEMPTION out of the hands of those who hold us captive. Also,
do not be so naïve to think that GOD will come down from Heaven to lead and
guide us home. This did not happen with

Likewise for us, this is very good information. Whatever our needs, when we do what's lawful
and right, Our GOD of Israel will meet.
If it had
not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say; If it had not
been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us: Then they
had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us: Then the
waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul: Then the proud
waters had gone over our soul. Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given
us as a prey to their teeth. Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the
snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped. Our help is
in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth." Psalm 124:1 - 8

All who believe in the GOD of Israel and follow HIS Ways are shielded
from harm. Let us not forget that the
CREATOR informed Noah of "the end of all flesh"; GOD told Abram about
the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah; GOD told Moses HE would smite the Land
of Egypt; before GOD desolated HIS Holy Land, HE had warned the Israelites by
WORD of HIS Prophets scores of times; and we should understand that we have
also been warned by prophetic revelations about the destruction of –
"America the Beautiful" – the "Daughter of Babylon". When

"Sit thou silent, and get thee into darkness, O
daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called, The lady of
kingdoms. I was wroth with my people, I have polluted mine inheritance, and
given them into thine hand: thou didst shew them no mercy; upon the ancient
hast thou very heavily laid thy yoke. And thou saidst, I shall be a lady for
ever: so that thou didst not lay these things to thy heart,
neither didst remember the latter end of it. Therefore hear now this, thou
that art given to pleasures, that dwellest carelessly, that sayest in thine
heart, I am, and none else beside me; I shall not sit as a widow,
neither shall I know the loss of children: But these two things shall
come to thee in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood: they
shall come upon thee in their perfection for the multitude of thy sorceries, and
for the great abundance of thine enchantments. For thou hast trusted in thy
wickedness: thou hast said, None seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it
hath perverted thee; and thou hast said in thine heart, I am, and none
else beside me. Therefore shall evil come upon thee; thou shalt not know from
whence it riseth: and mischief shall fall upon thee; thou shalt not be able to
put it off: and desolation shall come upon thee suddenly, which thou
shalt not know. Stand now with thine enchantments, and with the multitude of
thy sorceries, wherein thou hast laboured from thy youth; if so be thou shalt
be able to profit, if so be thou mayest prevail. Thou art wearied in the
multitude of thy counsels. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly
prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from these things that shall
come upon thee. Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them;
they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: there shall
not be a coal to warm at, nor fire to sit before it. Thus shall

heed? If the SEED of Jacob will remain in
Unfortunately, many Israelites will not heed GOD's warnings to
"Flee Babylon" and "Deliver every man his soul." And those who don't will be responsible for
their own decisions. Those who make the
decision to "Flee" will be GOD's means of forming an obedient Remnant
of Israel. This Remnant will not only be
obedient but All Righteous, as well.

Remnant?"
"And it shall come to pass in that day, that

only a select few will be strong unto the end to prove themselves worthy to be
called the Righteous Remnant.

knows those who trust in ONLY HIM. Those
of us who are obedient to HIS WORD and trust in HIM will be saved.

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
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
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
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
The
Israelis have a rabid requirement to control all the
“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
Ezekiel
36:7 – 10
Now,
the Truth is out. This is the reason for
the decades of turmoil, death, and destruction over GOD’s
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
“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

remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God. For

“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

the same time, saith the LORD, will I be the God of all the families of

“Behold,
at that time I will undo all that afflict thee: and I will save her that
halteth, and gather her that was driven out; and I will get them praise and
fame in every land where they have been put to shame.” Zephaniah
3:19
And for
all HIS Creations, especially man, the ONE CREATOR GOD of Israel will be
acknowledged and worshipped by HIS Chosen People and all Nations remaining from
HIS Wrath and destruction of the wicked.
The Peoples of this world will revolve around its MAKER!
Yes,
the All-Mighty CREATOR will liberate HIS Holy Land and will return to HIS Holy
City Jerusalem, where once again HIS Holy Priests will minister before HIM and
where people of all Nations will visit to Bless HIM for HIS GOODNESS and for
HIS Holy Name’s Sake.
“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
“And
it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which
came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King,
the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.” Zechariah
14:16
FINALLY:
“Seek
ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek
righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the
LORD's anger.” Zephaniah 2:3

A SPECIAL REPORT
ON THE “KOY”
TAKE DILIGENT
HEED…
“…take
diligent heed to do the commandment and the law,
which
Moses the servant of the LORD charged you, to love the LORD your God, and to
walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments,
and
to cleave unto him,
and
to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul.”
Joshua

What
exactly does the GOD of
IN THAT…
“I call
heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you
life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and
thy seed may live: 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
30:19,20
AND…
“And
he said unto them, Set your hearts unto all the words which I testify among you
this day, which ye shall command your children to observe to do, all the words
of this law. For it is not a vain thing for you; because it is your life: and
through this thing ye shall prolong your days in the land, whither ye go over
I
would think that to take diligent heed means to be extremely cautious to keep GOD’s
LAW, read and study it, DO IT, and pray to the GOD of Israel for wisdom to
understand it. And in addition to that common sense would be
to either join with others so determined or be alone in returning back to the
Holy ONE and what’s required of the SEED of Jacob.
This
might seem ever so trivial a detail to some, but it means a world to the GOD of
Israel. You see, I used to belong to Ben
Ammi’s group, and I left for many reasons, but mainly because he was allowing
people to call him JC and “Saviour” and because he was not concerned about
GOD’s LAW and much less about taking heed to live and do it.
What
truly, truly disturbs me is that there are people encouraging Israelites to
join up with Ben Ammi and accept his title – “Messianic Leader,” as well as the
blasphemous notion that the True and Living GOD would have such a congregation
to represent HIM. Yes, of course the
so-called “KOY” exists, but it does not represent the GOD of Israel and HIS
LAW, i.e., HIS Ways of Righteousness that HE Commanded of the Prophet Moses to
teach to the Nation of Israel. This
group does not in any way signify the
The
“KOY” is a congregation of people calling themselves Israelites and living
according to the Laws of Ben Ammi and the imaginations of his contrary and
devious heart. The wise in the knowledge
of Truth know that Ben Ammi’s camp, built on corruption, crime, lust, adultery,
and death, cannot in any way be connected with the Holy ONE of
“The
anger of the LORD shall not return, until he have executed, and till he have
performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it
perfectly. I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to
them, yet they prophesied. But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused
my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil
way, and from the evil of their doings.” Jeremiah 23:20 – 22
“My
people hath been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray,
they have turned them away on the mountains: they have gone from mountain to
hill, they have forgotten their restingplace.” Jeremiah
50:6
Moreover,
King David’s Seed will head the CREATOR GOD’s
I have
never read where Kings David and Solomon called themselves “Messiah.”
“And
there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow
out of his roots: And the spirit of
the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit
of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD; And
shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD: and he shall not
judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his
ears: But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity
for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his
mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked. And
righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of
his reins.” Isaiah 11:1 – 5
“And
in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek:
and his rest shall be glorious.” Isaiah
11:10
And
this Righteous Kingdom will be all about serving, worshipping, and PRAISING the
GOD of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and about representing HIM and spreading HIS
Laws, Statutes, and Judgments throughout this world, in order that the CREATOR
GOD of Israel will be Magnified and will receive all the Praise and all the
Glory, so that people will abandon the “New Testament” and its theology. Have
no doubts about it, the son of David will rule from
I find
nothing in GOD’s WORD to support an existence of HIS Kingdom in
Taking
heed to keep GOD’s LAW would entail staying as far from Ben Ammi as
possible. And the fact that HE keeps his
stores open on GOD’s Holy Day of Complete REST is a darn good red flag and
eye-opener that shouts to stay away from this leader, as of a Truth, he does
not FEAR the GOD of Israel to do HIS Will.
And what better information exists from Our GOD to prove Ben Ammi to be
one who defies the All-Mighty GOD!
“To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not
according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.” Isaiah 8:20
This
passage is the best gauge Israelites have for determining and for understanding
who to accept as a genuine leader or know who FEARS the Holy ONE of
“Blessed
is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the
way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in
the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.” Psalm 1:1,2
“I
have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked.” Psalm 26:5
“If
I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:” Psalm 66:18
“Incline
not my heart to any evil thing, to practise wicked works with men that work
iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties.” Psalm 141:4
“Hear,
O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the LORD hath spoken, I have nourished
and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me. The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but
Another
perfect incident that serves to explain why we cannot join with people who
break GOD’s LAW concerns Jehoshaphat and Ahziah. And does it ever speak VOLUMES!
“And
after this did Jehoshaphat king of Judah join himself with Ahaziah king of
Israel, who did very wickedly: And he joined himself with him to make ships to
go to Tarshish: and they made the ships in Eziongaber. Then Eliezer the son of
Dodavah of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, Because thou hast
joined thyself with Ahaziah, the LORD hath broken thy works. And the ships were
broken, that they were not able to go to Tarshish.” II
Chronicles 20:35 – 37
Let’s
not pretend we don’t know about our past and how our stiffnecked and rebellious
forebears loved to be connected with evildoers and how they encouraged the
lawful to follow wickedness. At least
admit to what THUS SAITH THE LORD!
At
this late day and in the time of Jacob’s Trouble, why would we even consider
joining with Ben Ammi or with anyone or with any congregation that does not
make GOD’s LAW the Paths of Righteousness to follow and walk? Our GOD of
Israel promises us that if we return to HIM and HIS LAW, that then we can
return to our heritage (Deuteronomy 30:1-4).
If people will join with Ben Ammi, then for them GOD’s Promise is made
void.
“And
ye shall know that I am the LORD: for ye have not walked in my statutes,
neither executed my judgments, but have done after the manners of the heathen
that are round about you.” Ezekiel 11:12
“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 30:15
“And
hast given them this land, which thou didst swear to their fathers to give
them, a land flowing with milk and honey; And they came in, and possessed
it; but they obeyed not thy voice, neither walked in thy law; they have done
nothing of all that thou commandedst them to do: therefore thou hast caused all
this evil to come upon them:”
Jeremiah 32:22,23
What a
crime! Ben Ammi was among the blessed to
return, but just like his rebellious forefathers, he, too, refuses to be
obedient to the LAWS of the GOD of Israel.
The
WORD of the GOD of Israel also condemns Ben Ammi for calling himself a
“Messianic Leader” in order to gather Israelites and Christians into his
fold. But in no way does he emulate the
“Old Testament” men of GOD!
Was
Moses, Joshua, Samuel, the kings of
I
listened to a Brother in Paltalk Chat go to extremes to contrive a justifiable
explanation for Ben Ammi calling himself a Messiah. The Truth of the matter is that this word is
not even connected with Hebrew-Israelite Culture. “Jews” and Christians and the Book of Daniel
and the “New Testament” are very much associated with the word “Messiah,” but
not the Israelites who wandered forty years in the Wilderness and inhabited the
And
even if this information is for a time after the Israelites return, the
information still makes no sense. “And
he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week…” (Daniel 9:27). This verse contradicts what “THUS SAITH THE
LORD” about HIS Covenant in Jeremiah 31:31 – 34 and in Ezekiel 20:37. And not one of GOD’s Prophets makes mention
of this event in the Book of Daniel.
Just
for the record, “THUS SAITH THE LORD” is mentioned more than 400 times in the
“Old Testament” but not even once in the Book of Daniel or in the “New
Testament.” That’s no mistake. That’s for us
to think logically and connect the dots!
Therefore, when we do the research concerning the year the Book of
Daniel was probably written, we will see that this Book of Daniel and the “New
Testament” were written to deceive Israelites, and, thus, we have no reason to
accept the information in either of these books as being GOD’s WORD.
GOD’s
Covenants – HIS LAW and HIS Promises, as well as the “New Covenant” spoken of
in Jeremiah 31:31-34 - will resume upon our return to our heritage. And there is no other WORD of GOD to have us
believe that any one of these Covenants will be one week. Actually, when you consider what’s written in
Daniel 9:27, none of this chapter makes any sense whatsoever.
“He
hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a
thousand generations. Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath unto
Isaac; And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law,
and to
“Nevertheless
he regarded their affliction, when he heard their cry: And he
remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude
of his mercies.” Psalm 106:44,45
The
Holy ONE of Israel has not only remembered HIS Covenant with Abraham, Isaac,
and Jacob, but HE has opened our eyes to the fact that WE ARE HIS PEOPLE, but
unfortunately, too many of us do not choose to do that which is necessary to
stay in HIS good graces.
Another
serious issue is that certain people credit Ben Ammi with moving Israelites to
And
just because people think Ben Ammi to be prosperous and have more than other
congregations is no reason to boast about the advancements he has made. When I hear this, I am constantly reminded of
the “
“Fret
not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers
of iniquity. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the
green herb. Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land,
and verily thou shalt be fed.” Psalm 37:1 – 3
“I
have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay
tree. Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could
not be found. Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that
man is peace.” Psalm 37:35 - 37
“They
that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their
riches; None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a
ransom for him:” Psalm 49:6,7
“Except
the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD
keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.” Psalm 127:1
It would appear that people don’t
yet get the full understanding of the above verse that is loaded with Truth,
conviction, and certainty. Time proves
everything! The Flood of Noah’s Day and
the scattering of the Nation of Israel into the Four Corners of the Earth are
proven facts that the CREATOR GOD of Israel does not tolerate people taking HIS
Name in vain, disobedience of HIS LAW, and the worship of false gods and even
of man.
Ben
Ammi is not “perfect.” He, himself, said
in 1996 that he is doing 60%. Thus, he
isn’t even close to being “the perfect man.”
He is failing and falling fast!
His works and teachings speak volumes.
We have history to probe for what “THUS SAITH THE LORD” and for what
required of us. AND we have read what
has happened to Israelites who stray from GOD’s LAW in order to establish their
own direction. We have book after book
in the “Old Testament” that gives us all the information we need concerning
rebellious Israelites. We know what the
GOD of Israel did to them, and we know that HE has not changed HIS Ordinances
one iota, and that HE will NEVER change them.
Hence, knowing all this, and knowing what the GOD of Moses has said
about HIS LAW and the consequences for not keeping it (in Deuteronomy 28th
Chapter), knowing that HE will MAGNIFY HIS LAW and put it in our hearts,
knowing that we were scattered for not observing this Divine LAW, would Our GOD
of Israel send such a leader as Ben Ammi who has no regard for HIS LAW but
rather for magnifying himself and a bogus “KOY”? Perfect men of GOD do not grandstand and
promote adverse teachings. They
vehemently stress doing the WORD of the GOD of Israel and with “ONE”
mindset.
Without
question, “the perfect man” FEARS the GOD of Israel to live and do HIS Book of
the Law. It is accepting GOD’s
Righteousness and to live by it that is our ticket into the CREATOR GOD of
Israel’s
“Hear,
O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their
thoughts, because they have not hearkened unto my words, nor to my law, but
rejected it.”
Jeremiah
6:19
“Because
Ephraim hath made many altars to sin, altars shall be unto him to sin.” Hosea 8:11
What
wills Israelites to turn from the WORD of GOD?
What force is there that can make GOD’s Chosen People defy HIM? Never mind.
I don’t think I want to know. In
any case, those who join with Ben Ammi should know that you give up your assets
and you are expected to conform to the expectations of the Camp, and you will
adhere to WILL adhere to their ways or be punished by beatings and losing your
flamboyant “title.” What a scam, the
best since the advent of Christianity.
However, only the Holy ONE will prove them a fraud and with the
Righteous Remnant HE is calling – HIS Chosen Ones who have determined to serve
and worship ONLY HIM.
“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
“For
the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the
LORD abhorreth. The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek
after God: God is not in all his thoughts.” Psalm 10:3,4
“My
soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be
glad. O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.” Psalm 34:2,3
“In
God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ever. Selah.” Psalm 44:8
Is this
a time for us to boast? Ben Ammi is
subject to the will of Gentile Jews. Why
is he boasting, and why are others boasting for him? Is this not a time to turn to the Most High
GOD of Israel and boast of HIM and seek HIM for understanding IN HIS LAW and in
HIS WORD to HIS Prophets? Should we not
thirst and hunger for GOD’s Truth?
“All
the commandments which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye
may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the LORD sware
unto your fathers. And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God
led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove
thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his
commandments, or no. And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed
thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he
might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word
that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.” Deuteronomy 8:3
Ezekiel
speaks about the Holy ONE of
“And I
will bring you out from the people, and will gather you out of the countries
wherein ye are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and
with fury poured out. And I will bring you into the wilderness of the
people, and there will I plead with you face to face. Like as I pleaded with
your fathers in the wilderness of the
Ironically,
from this passage, Ben Ammi will not enter into the very Kingdom he
boasts.
“And
he spake unto the congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of
these wicked men, and touch nothing of their's, lest ye be consumed in all
their sins.” Numbers 16:26
“I
have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked.” Psalm 26:5
Surely,
we know about Israelites who speak of the Holy ONE of
“Deliver
me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody men.” Isaiah 59:2
Some
of us might think it is all right to join with congregations that defy GOD’s
LAW, but this is wholly against doing what Thus Saith the LORD. The Holy ONE of
People
have come forward with information on Ben Ammi, and the Brother promoting the
so-called “Keys to the Kingdom” is aware of this. I have also posted information on Ben Ammi
and his camp to the LawKeepers Forum.
And if people will still join with him, after learning about this
useless kingdom, then they certainly have no one but themselves to blame for
whatever might befall them. More
importantly, those who will read this Message and will still seek to join and
be associated with the Ben Ammi Camp can’t say they didn’t know and certainly
won’t be able to plead ignorance. They
can’t say their leaders are at fault.
They can’t say they believed in a Brother whom they thought knew what he
was talking about with some “Keys to the Kingdom.” And the reason they cannot feign all these
excuses is because all GOD’s warnings and counsel are written in HIS LAW and in
HIS WORD to HIS Prophets. “TAKE DILIGENT HEED…” Also, HE provides
knowledge to those who earnestly seek it.
The Holy ONE of
“Put
not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help. His
breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts
perish. Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in
the LORD his God: Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein
is: which keepeth truth for ever:” Psalm 146:3 - 6
“Trust
ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of thy
mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom.” Micah 7:5
I feel
like this: If I am going to fall by the
wayside, it will not be because of following some stiffnecked, grandstanding,
rebellious Israelite leaders. In that
respect, I have learned what not to do very well and mainly from watching
lawless Israelites in Ben Ammi’s Camp and listening to him speak the
imaginations of his heart.
The
Dry Bones have a chance to live and serve and worship the Holy ONE of
With
Ben Ammi there is an arm of flesh; but with us is the LORD Our GOD to help us
if we will only let HIM. But we must
take diligent heed to follow HIS Paths of Righteousness. May Our Holy ONE of
“Behold,
the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his
mercy; To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine. Our
soul waiteth for the LORD: he is our help and our shield. For our heart shall
rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.” Psalm 33:18
– 21
“Give
us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man. Through God we shall do
valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.” Psalm 60:11,12
“Our
help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.” Psalm 124:8
Wake
up,
“In
those days, and in that time, saith the LORD, the children of Israel shall
come, they and the children of Judah together, going and weeping: they shall
go, and seek the LORD their God.” Jeremiah 50:4
“O
thou that art named the house of Jacob, is the spirit of the LORD straitened?
are these his doings? do not my words do good to him that walketh
uprightly?”
Micah
2:7
“And
many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the
LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and HE WILL TEACH US OF HIS WAYS,
and we will walk in his paths: for THE LAW SHALL GO FORTH OF ZION, AND THE WORD
OF THE LORD FROM JERUSALEM.” Micah 4:2 (Caps. are mine.)
WAKE
UP,
“But
know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will
hear when I call unto him. Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own
heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah. Offer the sacrifices of
righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.” Psalm 4:3 -
5
So,
be aware, and TAKE DILIGENT HEED. This is our last shot to be returned to our
heritage.
“The
soul that sinneth, it shall die. The
son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear
the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him,
and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him. But if the wicked will turn
from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that
which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die. All his
transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him: in
his righteousness that he hath done he shall live. Have I any pleasure at all
that the wicked should die? saith the Lord GOD: and not that he should return
from his ways, and live? But when the righteous turneth away from his
righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the
abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? All his righteousness
that he hath done shall not be mentioned: in his trespass that he hath
trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die.” Ezekiel 18:20 - 24
Thus,
it is most critical that GOD FEARING Israelites discern right from wrong and
denounce defiance and disobedience to GOD’s LAW.
“But
the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear
him, and his righteousness unto children's children; To such as keep his
covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.” Psalm
103:17,18
And
at the same time we must embrace wisdom and knowledge and abide by it. Don’t waste precious time on a NOTORIOUS
leader who has no respect for the “SIGN” of GOD’s Holy Seventh Day Sabbath of
REST that binds us with Our GOD of
What a
shame to have people’s stomachs growling from their hunger pains and
incessantly thinking of what they will eat when the Sabbath is ended, rather
than thinking about the Mercies of the SAVIOR GOD of Israel and giving Glory to
HIM for giving us a Blessed Day of REST.
How do I know all this? I’ve been
there and done that! What a shame to
have people not enjoying food on GOD’s Seventh Day Sabbath and their giving in
to blessed slumber and rest on full stomachs.
WHAT A SHAME! Ben Ammi forgets
that this Seventh Day is the CREATOR’s Anniversary, and it is HE that has
COMMANDED, how HE wants it observed. To
his hurt, Ben Ammi does not see it that way.
Those
who decline from GOD’s Ways of Righteousness can expect to literally go mad and
die. This is GOD’s WORD – not mine! Ben Ammi initially taught GOD’s LAW and as
far as I knew abided by it. Actually,
this was the reason I joined “Abeta
“The
young lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat from God.” Psalm 104:21
Why
can’t we just seek Our GOD of Israel and be obedient to what HE requires of
us? After all, HIS Book of the Law and
HIS WORD to HIS Prophets are our Bread of Life.
“Thus
saith the LORD, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the
LORD that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that
spreadeth abroad the earth by myself; That frustrateth the tokens of the liars,
and maketh diviners mad; that turneth wise men backward, and maketh their
knowledge foolish;” Isaiah 44:24,25
King
David Feared and loved the GOD of Israel with all his heart and soul, and we
have him as evidence that we, also, can indeed be people after GOD’s own
heart. Notice his Psalm 101:
“I will
sing of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O LORD, will I sing. I will behave
myself wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk
within my house with a perfect heart. I will set no wicked thing before mine
eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me. A
froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person. Whoso
privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath an high
look and a proud heart will not I suffer. Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful
of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he
shall serve me. He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that
telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight. I will early destroy all the wicked
of the land; that I may cut off all wicked doers from the city of the LORD.”
I
question the motives of those who promote Ben Ammi’s so-called “KOY” and
disseminate information leading people to believe that he is a Messiah. Ben Ammi’s works judge him to be nothing more
than a Lawbreaker who is steadfastly working against the WORD of the GOD of
Israel, and who is relentlessly expounding on his books, his diets, his
authority, his being a Messiah, and his “Kingdom of Ben Ammi.”
Wake
up,
“I
will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I
have my being. My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the LORD.
Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more.
Bless thou the LORD, O my soul. Praise ye the LORD.”

thy holy name, and to triumph in thy praise. Blessed

thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with
a shield.” Psalm 5:12

IS ON THE LORD’s SIDE, make haste to

with your whole heart and soul!

REFLECTING ON GOD’S WORD IN REGARD TO
HIS SEVENTH DAY SABBATH COMMANDMENT!
REMEMBER, THIS IS HIS ANNIVERSARY DAY OF REST,
AND OUR DAY TO KEEP IN REST AND AS A SIGN BETWEEN
HIM AND THE CHILDREN OF
“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
“…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
“…this
thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye
shall be my people: and walk ye in all the ways
that
I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you.
But
they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in the counsels
and in the imagination of their evil heart, and went
backward, and not forward.”
Jeremiah
7:23,24
“And
say thou unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of
Cursed
be the man that obeyeth not the words of this covenant,
Which
I commanded your fathers in the day that I brought them forth
out of the
and do them, according to all which I command you: so shall ye be my
people,
and
I will be your God:”
Jeremiah
11:3,4
As
most of you know, I am a firm believer in living GOD’s Book of the Law, and
that I strongly stress observance of GOD’s Holy Seventh Day Sabbath that HE
proclaimed a “SIGN” between HIM and HIS Chosen People, Israel. To strengthen
the great significance of GOD’s Hallowed Seventh Day, HE used this Day of REST
to prove HIS People, the Israelites, to see if they would walk in HIS LAW, or
no (Exodus 16:4).
It
didn’t take GOD long to find out that HIS Chosen People HE had JUST DELIVERED
out of Egyptian bondage by HIS Mighty Hand before their very eyes, did not FEAR
HIM to be OBEDIENT to HIS COMMANDMENT of the Holy Seventh Day of Rest. The Holy ONE
of
“And
it came to pass, that there went out some of the people on the
seventh day for to gather, and they found none. And the LORD said unto Moses,
How long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws?” Exodus
16:27,28
The
Israelites had failed their test! It is obvious that the Holy ONE DID NOT want
the Israelites leaving their places on HIS Holy Seventh Day of COMPLETE REST
(Shabbatone in Hebrew). And for some of
us, if this is not understood, then Exodus 16:29 makes GOD’s COMMANDMENT
perfectly clear without a shadow of a doubt.
“…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.”
The
questions now become, Is the Holy ONE of
“Her
priests have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy things: they have put
no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they shewed difference
between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths,
and I am profaned among them.” Ezekiel 22:26
Perhaps at this point, I should make readers aware of the
basis for this particular post.
Before
the recent “KenesiYAH Conference” in
Because
the Conference called for activities on GOD’s Holy Sabbath Day of Complete
REST, I knew that most of the attendees, if not all, would be leaving their
places (homes and hotel rooms) on the Seventh Day, November 13, to take part in
whatever was being offered on GOD’s Holy Day. In my heart, I was immediately
critical of this Conference for going against GOD’s COMMANDMENT to abide in our
places on the Seventh Day of Rest. Also,
knowing fully well that the GOD of Israel is against bearing burdens on HIS
Holy Sabbath Day, I thought to challenge the promoter for circulating that
“This Conference Stars YHWH King Of the Universe” - words that were clearly
construed to draw a crowd but displeased YIHOVAH. And I wasn’t at all in agreement with
charging a fee to attend the Conference, either.
However,
I, for some reason, changed my mind about contacting the promoter. And in the interim, I learned that the
Conference was a success and people had really gotten something out of this
gathering. Then I thought to myself how
wonderful it is for Israelites to Glory and PRAISE the Holy ONE and rejoice in
revering ONLY HIM. I also thought that
the GOD of Israel might have been truly pleased with the Conference and that
perhaps HE had changed the WAY HE wants us to observe HIS Holy Seventh Day of
REST. I told myself that perhaps we CAN
indeed gather and teach on this Hallowed Day.
Although I had these thoughts, I didn’t seek the Holy ONE for
clarification on the matter. And I
left it at that without considering putting this notion of gathering on the
Sabbath to the test and without further thoughts about the issue until this
past Friday, November 19, just a few days after the Conference ended when the
Holy ONE of Israel gave me clarification on the matter.
On
this Friday, while going about my daily readings, the Holy ONE showed me that
we must keep HIS LAW, as it is written or face the consequences. And no
matter how zealous and passionate we are about our concerns to worship Our GOD
of Israel, and no matter how jubilant and how much Praise and admiration
we bestow upon HIM in a Conference, in a parade, or in the privacy of our
homes, we have got to remain bound and TRUE to HIS LAWS – ALL OF THEM - to
remember to do and observe them, as HE has COMMANDED, for this Divine LAW IS
OUR LIFE and is to be kept (as it is written) FOREVER!
“And
he said unto them, Set your hearts unto all the words which I testify among you
this day, which ye shall command your children to observe to do, all the words
of this law. For it is not a
vain thing for you; because it is your life: and through this thing ye
shall prolong your days in the land, whither ye go over
“Therefore
thou shalt love the LORD thy God, and keep his charge, and his statutes, and
his judgments, and his commandments, alway.” Deuteronomy 11:1
“These
are the statutes and judgments, which ye shall observe to do in the
land, which the LORD God of thy fathers giveth thee to possess it, all the days
that ye live upon the earth.” Deuteronomy 12:1
“But
the LORD, who brought you up out of the
The
passage the Holy ONE showed me in Scripture that caused me to recall the
November 12 – 13 KenesiYAH Conference and the activities held on GOD’s Holy Seventh
Day of Rest entailed the relocation of GOD’s Ark. I did not search for this passage. This passage was brought to me…ALL PRAISES
DUE TO THE HOLY ONE!
“And
David and all
Without
a doubt, King David and ALL
I
remember many years ago reading this passage for the very first time thinking
about how wonderful it was for Israel to Praise GOD and how pleased HE must
have been seeing HIS People Exalting HIM with such joyfulness and fervor. But at that time, as I continued reading the
chapter, something happened in the passage that I’m sure has caused Israelites
and the Stranger alike to wonder why this GOD of Israel would so severely
punish a man, during this moment of exultation and joy of HIM, for putting
forth his hand to steady HIS Ark. I read on with great sorrow for Uzza, seeking
a valid reason for his death.
“And
when they came unto the threshingfloor of Chidon, Uzza put forth his hand to
hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled. And the anger of the LORD was kindled against
Uzza, and he smote him, because he put his hand to the ark: and there he died
before God.” I Chronicles 13:9,10
The
valid reason was and still is KEEP GOD’s LAWS for HE will not forgo
punishment if we don’t. For me, this
passage was a tremendous wakeup call that made me realize that no matter what…we,
Israelites, must take heed to obey all GOD’s COMMANDMENTS, as they are
written. And when in doubt, rather
than assume the wrong decision, err on the side of caution, i.e., err on the
side of what's written. Then we can
always say, "We followed the Commandment that is written in GOD's Book
of the Law!
The
Conference of November 12 – 14, I’m sure was well organized with the Holy ONE
in mind to draw as many people as possible and to make as much money as
possible. But given GOD’s LAW of the Holy Sabbath
Day to “abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the
Seventh Day,” has GOD given HIS consent and endorsed leaving our places,
driving cars, teaching, and holding a Sabbath Service on this Seventh Day of
Complete REST? Now, since reading
the passage about Uzza, I know for sure, the Holy ONE of
“Did
not your fathers thus, and did not our God bring all this evil upon us, and
upon this city? yet ye bring more wrath upon
Nehemiah
13:18
If we
are specifically advised to keep GOD’s Sabbath or be punished with death, that
our servants, oxen, asses, and cattle are also supposed to rest, as well, and
COMMANDED NOT to bear burdens on the Holy Seventh Day of Rest, then we have no
business scheduling activities on this Holy Shabbatone (Sabbath of Complete
REST Day). If the Holy ONE wanted us assembling on HIS
Holy Seventh Day of Rest, then HE would not have COMMANDED us to abide in our
places on this Day of REST!!! Surely
that makes a lot of sense, right?
“But
the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou
shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor
thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy
gates: For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all
that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed
the sabbath day, and hallowed it.” Exodus 20:10,11
“Speak
thou also unto the children of
“Six
days thou shalt labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the
sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor
thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thine
ox, nor thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is
within thy gates; that thy manservant and thy maidservant may rest as well as
thou.” Deuteronomy 5:13,14
“And
it came to pass, that when the gates of
Nehemiah
13:19
“Thus
saith the LORD; Take heed to yourselves, and bear no burden on the sabbath day,
nor bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem; Neither carry forth a burden
out of your houses on the sabbath day, neither do ye any work, but hallow ye
the sabbath day, as I commanded your fathers. But they obeyed not, neither inclined their ear, but
made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, nor receive instruction. And
it shall come to pass, if ye diligently hearken unto me, saith the LORD, to
bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the sabbath day, but
hallow the sabbath day, to do no work therein; Then shall there enter
into the gates of this city kings and princes sitting upon the throne of David,
riding in chariots and on horses, they, and their princes, the men of Judah,
and the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and this city shall remain for ever.” Jeremiah 17:21 – 25
“But
if ye will not hearken unto me to hallow the sabbath day, and not to bear a
burden, even entering in at the gates of Jerusalem on the sabbath day; then
will I kindle a fire in the gates thereof, and it shall devour the palaces of
Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched.”
Jeremiah 17:27
Although
there is nothing written above about picking up sticks on the Holy Sabbath Day
of REST, GOD condemned a man to death for this act (Numbers 15:32-35). Doesn’t this
sentence of death expound upon the great importance of observing this Holy Day,
as it is written and not according to what we feel is acceptable? Of course it does! GOD is as serious as a heart attack about
our KEEPING HIS Holy Seventh Day of COMPLETE REST and about JUDGING us if we
profane it. Other than picking up
sticks on GOD’s Holy Seventh Day of REST, what else might we do to cause Our
GOD of Israel to be angry and “smite” or condemn us to death as HE did with
Uzza and the man who was found picking up sticks on HIS Holy Seventh Day
Sabbath? What about CARRYING all the
books, charts, video equipment, teaching aids, and other paraphernalia we need
for instruction and for the operation of the Conference? Who are we fooling? All of us are aware of what it entails to
organize and hold a Conference. It takes
a lot of WORK, as well as a lot of energy to sustain each day’s agenda, and I
am only making reference to the activities that are scheduled on GOD’s Holy
Seventh Day Sabbath.
What
about the hot meals served at the hotels or at the meeting place on the Holy
Seventh Day when we are COMMANDED to prepare on the Sixth Day the food to be
eaten on the Seventh Day of REST? What
about burdening someone to bear even sandwiches and beverages to drink if food
is served at the meeting place? What
about getting from the hotel to the meeting place? What about driving or being driven to the
meeting place? Think about all the work
that transpires on a three-day Conference that includes GOD’s Holy Day of
COMPLETE REST.
And
when we involve ourselves in all these transactions, we say, “This Conference
Stars YHWH King Of The Universe.” I don’t think so! As a matter of fact, I know what “Thus Saith
the LORD,” and I know better! According
to HIS WORD, HE is not pleased and no more pleased with us than HE was with
Uzza, King David, and the others. I also
know that Our GOD is not pleased with our charging a fee to hear HIS WORD.
“The
heads thereof judge for reward, and the priests thereof teach for hire, and the
prophets thereof divine for money: yet will they lean upon the LORD, and say, Is
not the LORD among us? none evil can come upon us.” Micah 3:11
I
see nothing wrong with Israelites devising ways to raise money, but given the
above verse, we should keep GOD’s Ways out of such plans, i.e., don’t make
money off of the WORD of GOD. By all means, create jobs, have dances,
parties, sell dinners, plan spring, summer, and winter attractions, and keep
them above suspicion, but don’t include a fee if at all GOD’s WORD is
involved. Let us be about following
GOD’s Counsel and not that of our own.
And I can’t stress enough that it does not entail charging and paying
money to hear HIS Truth. When our
hearts are right, Our GOD prospers our way.
When our hearts are NOT right, there is no peace to the
wicked.
When
GOD did not pardon what Uzza did while King David and the Israelites were rejoicing
before the Holy ONE giving HIM Praise and Glory, then what imaginations of our
hearts think we can be pardoned for breaking GOD’s Law of the Seventh Day when
HE distinctly COMMANDED us to “ABIDE YE EVERY MAN IN HIS PLACE, LET NO MAN GO
OUT OF HIS PLACE ON THE SEVENTH DAY”? Is this not a COMMANDMENT? If you agree that it is, then how can we
justify leaving our places on this Holy Seventh Day of REST to participate in
any kind of service - Conference, Unity Shabbot or other function? We have more than enough time to schedule
get-togethers and have spiritual assemblies.
None of these gatherings should be scheduled for the Holy Seventh Day of
COMPLETE REST. And regardless of what
different Messianic leaders or Prophets or Levites might say to justify it,
there is NO Scripture to support such meetings on GOD’s Holy Seventh Day. The Children of Israel did not gather or
assemble on the Seventh Day in the Wilderness, and they are dead wrong to do so
now! The GOD of
“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
“Thou
camest down also upon mount Sinai, and spakest with them from heaven, and
gavest them right judgments, and true laws, good statutes and commandments: And
madest known unto them thy holy sabbath, and commandedst them precepts,
statutes, and laws, by the hand of Moses thy servant:” Nehemiah
9:13,14
GOD’s
Holy Seventh Day is an anniversary in remembrance of the Six Days it took HIM
to CREATE the Heavens and the Earth and all things therein. Therefore,
regardless of how much we invest in this day being of spiritual significance in
Conferences or other affairs to show forth HIS Praise, we are so wrong to do
so. And it’s simply because Our
GOD wants us in our places on HIS Holy Seventh Day Sabbath. By the way, if the Conference is on a weekend,
there is nothing wrong with staying in our hotel rooms when the Sabbath begins
and until it’s over.
After
GOD COMMANDED us to abide in our places on HIS Holy Seventh Day, as we know, a
man thought it was all right to gather sticks.
Today many Israelites feel it’s quite all right to drive cars and use
other means of transportation to ASSEMBLE and give Praise and Thanksgiving to
Our GOD on HIS Holy Seventh Day, but when we do, we are ever so wrong. Actually, we are dead wrong!
GOD’s
LAWS, COMMANDMENTS, and HIS WORD to HIS Prophets speak volumes, and unless GOD
stipulated changes, there are no exceptions to HIS Ordinances. Throughout
the “Old Testament,” we find that GOD sent HIS Prophets and instructed them to
rise up early to go to the Israelites to urge them to return back to the LAW
that HE gave to HIS Prophet Moses. I
only reiterate that which has already been COMMANDED of us. And we can either accept GOD’s LAWS or
contrive justification to circumvent them.
If we are in agreement to accept GOD’s LAWS, then we cannot dismiss the
LAW to abide in our places on GOD’s Holy Seventh Day of REST. It’s just that simple. Throughout GOD’s WORD, we learn that we must
follow GOD’s LAW or face repercussions.
“But
the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that
thou mayest do it. See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and
death and evil; In that I command thee this day to love the LORD thy God, to
walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his
judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the LORD thy God shall bless
thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it.” Deuteronomy
30:14 - 16
“Yet
they obeyed not, nor inclined their ear, but walked every one in the
imagination of their evil heart:
therefore I will bring upon them all the words of this covenant, which I
commanded them to do; but they did them not.” Jeremiah 11:8
Let
us not forget that OBEDIENCE to GOD’s LAW should be our highest priority IF it
is our intention to return back to our heritage (Deuteronomy 30:1-3 and I
Samuel 15:19).
“Ye
have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles'
wings, and brought you unto myself. Now
therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall
be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is
mine: And ye shall be unto me a kingdom
of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt
speak unto the children of
Exodus
19:4 – 6
“But
if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find him, if
thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul. When thou art in
tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, even in the latter
days, if thou turn to the LORD thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice;
(For the LORD thy God is a merciful God;) he will not forsake thee,
neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware
unto them.” Deuteronomy 4:29 – 31
“And
Moses and the priests the Levites spake unto all
“If
thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this
book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name, THE LORD THY GOD;
Then the LORD will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed,
even great plagues, and of long continuance, and sore sicknesses, and of
long continuance. Moreover he will bring upon thee all the diseases of

thou shalt return and obey the voice of the LORD, and do all his commandments
which I command thee this day. And
the LORD thy God will make thee plenteous in every work of thine hand, in the
fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy
land, for good: for the LORD will again rejoice over thee for good, as he
rejoiced over thy fathers: If thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the
LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in
this book of the law, and if thou turn unto the LORD thy God with all
thine heart, and with all thy soul.”
Deuteronomy 30:8 – 10
“Who
among you will give ear to this? who will hearken and hear for the time
to come? Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and
Thus,
I urge everyone to consider ALL GOD’s COMMANDMENTS, especially in regard
to holding Conferences, teaching, and doing any other activities on GOD’s Holy
Seventh Day of REST since we are supposed to abide in our places on this Holy
Seventh Day. NO ONE is in favor of coming together to sing
and give Praise to the Holy ONE of Israel, Our GOD and SAVIOR, more than myself
– NO ONE! But I would make
arrangements for such an occasion to be held on any day but GOD’s Seventh Day
of REST! And we have six other days from
which to choose for assembling and gathering for Spiritual Reunions.
Enough of seeking the imaginations of our hearts and
devising new means and ways to divine and worship Our GOD of
“To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not
according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.” Isaiah 8:20

Like
many of us, I seek to return to our heritage, and it will only happen when we
decide to be OBEDIENT to GOD’s LAWS that HE gave to HIS Prophet Moses for us to
live and do. So eager we are to be
accepted, recognized, and joined with others, but is this what matters? We must be extremely cautious in all that we
do. Praise is comely only for the
upright. We can have a thousand with us,
but if the Holy ONE of
“The
law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul:

even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour.” Isaiah 43:11
“Fear
ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have
declared it? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, there is
no God; I know not any.” Isaiah 44:8
“Tell
ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient
time? who hath told it from that

“Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth:

FOR WHAT REASON DO WE NEED jc OR ANY ONE ELSE

man-made, very well organized and deceptive religion.

is one of the greatest sins one can commit against the Most High GOD of
Equally as important, “Cursed be he that confirmeth not all
the words of this law to do them, And all the people shall say, Amen”
(Deuteronomy 27:26). Perhaps jc wasn’t
aware of this Law!
The “New Testament” and this “man” jc have not only added to
GOD’s WORD, but they have disclaimed GOD’s Ordinances and changed them
altogether!
“The
earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth and fadeth away, the
haughty people of the earth do languish. The earth also is defiled under the
inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the
ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant. Therefore hath the curse devoured
the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants
of the earth are burned, and few men left.”
Isaiah 24:4 - 6
Every
man/woman who serves and worships the All-Mighty GOD of Israel knows to Exalt
ONLY HIM and HIS Book of the Law, for through meditating in this Righteous
Book, one is made wise and, therefore, learns of GOD’s Truth and magnifies it
and nothing else!
“And
he said unto them, Set your hearts unto all the words which I testify among
you this day, which ye shall command your children to observe to do, all the
words of this law. Deuteronomy 32:4
“Only
be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to
all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the
left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.
“This
book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate
therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is
written therein: for then thou shal make
thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.” Joshua 1:7,8
Equally
important, the wise will confirm that there is but ONE GOD, the CREATOR, and
there is none else!
“Ye
are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may
know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God
formed, neither shall there be after me.” Isaiah 43:10
“I
am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee,
though thou hast not known me:
“That
they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none
beside me. I amthe LORD, and there is none else.” Isaiah
45:5,6
“But
the LORD is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king: at his
wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his
indignation.
“Thus
shall ye say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth,
even they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens.” Jeremiah
10:10,11
Finally,
when we realize that NO ONE can deliver out of GOD’s Hand, i.e., reverse
the CURSES HE put on the Nation of Israel (or anyone else for that matter),
then we will understand why the man, jc, is a farce, and thus, was not able to
save the “Lost Sheep of the House of Israel,” or establish GOD’s Kingdom. Thus, we also realize why the writers of the
“New Testament” conveniently wrote jc completely out of the picture and into a
false doctrine and forged sense of hope that lies in the hearts of naïve and
badly informed believers!

LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that

Yisrael,

of the Most High GOD of Israel for HIS Holy Name’s Sake
P.S.
I
live to Exalt the Most High GOD of Israel and HIS Righteous Book of the Law and
all because returning to HIM and serving and worshipping HIM (when our
forefathers wouldn’t) will cause Our GOD and SAVIOR to return back to us, HIS
Chosen People. Therefore, the more
Israelites involved in this great Mission to return to the Holy ONE and HIS
Law, the sooner the GOD’s TRUTH will be disseminated around the world and the
sooner the True and Living GOD will be revealed, magnified, and PRAISED by all
(Isaiah 43:21). And LORD knows this
“man” jc, or whatever people choose to call him, will have nothing to do with
bringing about this disclosure or the Redemption and Deliverance from all the
perils upon the SEED of the Children of
It
should be realized that GOD did not let Samuel’s words fall to the ground,
i.e., everything Samuel said came to pass (I Samuel 3:19). But this was not the case with the “man” jc,
and yet he was/is worshipped and magnified as if he were the GOD of this
Universe. And indeed many people think
that he is. But if he is a god or if he
is “the son of God,” then certainly he should have known that GOD’s Kingdom was
NOT at hand (Matthew 10:5 - 7) – a blunder from which he will never recover!
And
since jc could not make this significant call that would have proven his
identity and godliness, the wise should know that he is as much a lying prophet
as was Hananiah who disputed Jeremiah’s prophecy that the Tribe of Judah would
be in Babylonian captivity for seventy years.
His claim was that they would be captives for only two years rather than
seventy. Consequently, Hananiah paid
with his life for making the Judahites “trust in a lie” (Jeremiah 28th
Chapter).
As
well, we should give more thought to the fact that “there arose not a prophet
since in
And finally, GOD said,
“The beast of the field shall honor me, the dragons and the owls: because I give waters in the wilderness
and rivers in the desert to give drink to my people, my chosen” (Isaiah 43:20). There’s much to be gleaned from this
passage! But suffice it to say that
the beasts of the field know well the identity of the CREATOR, and they know
even better that this All-Mighty GOD is the ONLY ONE that deserves ALL THE
GLORY. Unfortunately, these days,
when there is a drought, severe storm, flooding, waters in the desert or forest
(lightning) fires, crippling dust storms and famine, people, not the beasts of
the field, but PEOPLE will credit “Mother Nature” for these weather patterns
and not make the slightest connection to the Most High GOD.
“That
they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none
beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else. I form the light, and create darkness: I make
peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.” Isaiah
45:6,7
However,
for sure great afflictions will cause many people and Nations to turn to the
GOD with the OMNIPOTENCE to SAVE and DELIVER out of harms way, and this will be
the GOD they will serve and worship (Hosea 5:15). I don’t think it’s necessary to reveal that
this GOD will be the same GOD that SAVED the Children of Israel out of Egyptian
bondage!
“Let
the field be joyful, and all that is therein: then shall all the trees of the
wood rejoice Before the LORD: for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth:
he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his
truth.”
Psalm
96:12,13
“What
ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven
back? Ye mountains, that ye skipped like
rams; and ye little hills, like lambs?
Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the
God of Jacob;” Psalm 114:5 – 7
The WISE will understand!
FEAR
AND GLORY YIHOVAH ALWAYS!
P.P.S.
LORD, You were our help during Biblical days, and you did
not pass the buck. You were a Voice and
a genuine Worker for us, and from the fruits of your labors our trifling forefathers
were indeed saved and redeemed many times from the hands of their enemies, albeit
in vain to perpetuate many sins against you. But things have changed somewhat, and many
of us have returned to you. Therefore,
once again, LORD GOD of Israel, save those of us who believe and trust in ONLY
YOU to do your Will, but this time save us from the four corners of this Earth
for your Holy Name’s Sake.
“When
thy people Israel be smitten down before the enemy, because they have sinned against
thee, and shall turn again to thee, and confess thy name, and pray, and make
supplication unto thee in this house:

bring them again unto the land which thou gavest unto their fathers.” I Kings

EXPOUNDING ON WHEN THE CREATOR’s 24-HOUR DAY BEGINS:
I
happen to be talking with my husband regarding when each new day begins. And his input was much like that of Brother
Kweli’s. In essence, he said:
In
The BEGINNING there was only “Darkness.” Therefore, because “Darkness” preceded
“Light,” it stands to reason why the “darkness,” which was
initially first, begins the new day and not the “morning.”
“In
the beginning…darkness was upon the face of the deep… And God said, Let there be light: and
there was light.” Genesis 1:1 - 3
In my
opinion, adding to this belief is the CREATOR’s pronouncement of the use of
“Darkness,” or rather evening, when ending and beginning each new day:
“…And
the evening and the morning were the second day.
“…And
the evening and the morning were the third day.
“…And
the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
“…And
the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
“…And
the evening and the morning were the sixth day.” Genesis1:8 -
31
If we cannot
recognize when to begin our 24-hour days, how then can we observe GOD’s Holy
Seventh Day Sabbaths to rest and be refreshed, and how then are we to observe
HIS Holy Feast Days, as we are Commanded?
Hence, it behooves us to read GOD’s WORD and take note of all the
Scriptures as to when our forefathers observed each new day. The information is there, if we will only
accept it. There are several specific
passages that cannot be ignored.
Genesis
First Chapter is already suggested.
Another passage is in Judges where Samson tells the Philistines to solve
his riddle “within seven days.”
And “on the Seventh Day before the sun went down,” the
Philistines told him the meaning of his riddle.
Point being that the Philistines knew that had they waited until AFTER
sundown, then they would have been in the Eighth Day and too late to receive
the reward Samson had promised them (Judges 14th Chapter).
More
evidence is in Nehemiah 13th Chapter. Nehemiah is angered by people profaning the
Holy Seventh Day by selling their wares to the stiffnecked Israelites who did
not hesitate to buy them. So, “…when
the gates of
I
would be remiss if I did not also include the fact that Scripture is clear on
Passover and the Day of Atonement beginning in the evening at sundown.
PASSOVER: “In
the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at even,
ye shall eat unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth day of the month at
even.” Exodus 12:18
THE
DAY OF ATONEMENT: “It shall be unto you a sabbath of rest, and ye
shall afflict your souls: in the ninth day of the month at even, from
even unto even, shall ye celebrate your sabbath.” Leviticus23:32
The
GOD of Israel is and always has been consistent in teaching us HIS
Commandments. HE would not tell us to
begin some Holy Days at sundown and to begin other days in the morning. There is nothing intelligent about such a
directive – only confusion. T.Y., Editor

Poetry and Prose Corner With A Message:
Dancing Souls
Spirit of light swells within
Glowing bright like diamonds blings, blings
Dancing souls swirling, twirling and follow
Held close in the Divine's arms deep and
hallow
Holding bright stars within their gaze
Telling the universe tales
Eyes held high, tight fingers linked
Them never letting go even if they sink
Tears shed
Snotty nose bled
Pleading for tomorrow's forgiveness for
things not done
Praying for the promised kingdom yet to come
This earth nothing but a great stage
Dancing souls performing on it from birth
till death they engaged
Dancing to tunes they cannot hear
Air filled with drumming music seems quite
near
Twirling, twitching with love loud sounds
made clear
Dancing and prancing spreading their seed to
four corners of the earth
Bringing souls of light and bodies of
thunder sprung from dirt
Open wide, wisdom, knowledge do gained
Angels light rings summoned all dancing
souls
Removing all shames and things of old
Minds connect, elevated they raised
Into the sky wrapping together staring into
life's perfect maze
Finally realizing they are truly one
Embraced in the Creators humming, chanting
vibrating sound on top of their lungs
Egos died
Dancing souls collide
Meshed together, you and I
Life lights energy shining real bright
Holding one body, family, dancing souls
entwined
Bonded together in Divine Holy bliss
Wrapped together, dancing in the Holy One's

Israel vows to keep up Gaza attacks
GAZA CITY
(CNN) -- Israeli airstrikes pounded Hamas-ruled Gaza on Saturday, killing at
least 205 people, and Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak said the military
aimed to inflict a "major blow" on militants in Gaza because of
escalating rocket attacks against Israel.

"In the last

in the south of our country. We have no intention of allowing these attacks to
continue," Barak said at a news conference.
The Israeli
attacks would continue through the night, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said.
Hamas vowed to retaliate.
"We
will stand up, we will defend our own people, we will defend our land and we
will not give up," said senior Hamas spokesman Osama Hamden.
A statement
from the IDF said Israeli aircraft were attacking "a series of Hamas
targets and infrastructure facilities," including headquarters, training
camps and weaponry storage warehouses.
Israeli
Prime Minister Ehud Olmert called for patience.
"The
operation in Gaza intends primarily to change the situation in the south part
of our country. It may take some time, and all of us are prepared to carry the
burden and the pains that are [an] inseparable part of this situation," he
said at a news conference with Barak and Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni.

The Trillion-Dollar War
The War on
Terror is now more expensive than
At the end of
December, Congress approved $70 billion in bridge funding—a down payment to
cover the gap between the beginning of the fiscal year and the passage of the
actual appropriation bill—to keep financing the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Legislators at the time were still chewing on the rest of President George W.
Bush’s request for a fiscal year 2008 war budget of $196 billion. Should that
funding be appropriated—and if recent history is any guide, it certainly will—then
the total price tag for America’s present wars will rise to at least $822
billion, approximately 80 percent of which will be spent on Iraq. That
surpasses the cost of the Vietnam War ($670 billion in inflation-adjusted
dollars). And the
These runaway
costs do not include a single dollar from the Pentagon’s annual operating
budget, which in 2008 reached a whopping $481 billion. If the war were being
accounted for based on a rational, transparent budget process instead of an
opaque and politicized shell game, Americans would be painfully aware that we
are now in the seventh year of what the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office
has called a $1 trillion war.
How much
money is $1 trillion? Enough to pay for the entire 1976 federal budget,
adjusted for inflation. Enough to write a check for $37,500 to every Iraqi man,
woman, and child. Enough to buy 169,492 Black Hawk helicopters, or 455 stealth
bombers. Enough, in nominal terms, to pay for the entire federal government
from 1789 to 1957. And it’s 10 times more than what specialists predict it
would take to eradicate malaria once and for all.
To distract
people from the real price tag of a two-front war, the president and Congress
have used an unprecedented and fiscally irresponsible budgetary trick: a series
of “emergency” supplemental spending bills totaling hundreds of billions of
dollars. This scheme has allowed them not only to hide the costs of the
conflicts but also to avoid painful budget choices while funneling billions of
dollars in unvetted goodies to favored interest groups.
Once a small blip among federal
outlays, emergency supplementals have exploded since 2002, when the Republican
Congress let a key legislative restriction on their use expire. In May 2007,
President Bush signed into law the biggest supplemental bill in history, $120
billion, to fund military operations in
Supplemental
spending does more harm than merely obfuscating the costs of military conflict.
It effectively removes the upper limit on the White House’s war budget. It
allows the Pentagon to seek and receive much more funding for mundane
operations than it could receive via the normal budget process. And its
comparative lack of oversight encourages Congress to shovel out pork to
Bush’s Supplemental Shell Game
President
Bush has never included a comprehensive war spending request in his annual
February budget. Instead, he has submitted emergency war requests to Capitol
Hill, usually sometime in the spring, weeks after the defense appropriation
subcommittees begin picking through the Pentagon budget.
Last year,
for instance, the president submitted a defense budget request of $481 billion
for fiscal year 2008. Operations in
Although
there are no official limits on the amount or type of spending that can be
designated as an emergency appropriation, historically there has been an
understanding that emergencies are sudden, unforeseen, temporary conditions
posing a threat to life, property, or national security. In September 2005, for
instance, after Hurricane Katrina smashed the
The costs of
the war may be necessary and temporary, but they are by no means sudden or
unforeseen. The war in
“The Bush
administration’s use of so-called ‘emergency’ supplemental funding to pay for
In 1951, for
instance, 72 percent of the kick-off cost for the Korean War —$33 billion in
today’s dollars—went through supplemental appropriations, while $13 billion
came from regular appropriations. But by year two, Congress appropriated 98
percent of the war’s funding through the regular defense budget. By 1953 the
president no longer requested any funding outside of the regular defense
budget.
The
decade-long Vietnam War followed a similar pattern. In the first year of the
war, Congress provided all of the funding in emergency supplemental bills. The
second year, the administration requested a little less than 50 percent of the
war funding within regular defense appropriations. By the fourth year, all of
the war funding went through the regular defense budget process. This despite
the fact that troop levels were in flux, military strategies were changing
regularly, and the duration of the conflict could not be foreseen. In the
1990s, the Republican-led Congress showed a kind of discipline it would completely
forget during the Bush presidency, directing President Bill Clinton in fiscal
year 1996 to fund all ongoing military operations, including the enforcement of
no-fly zones over
In the 1980s,
throughout President Ronald Reagan’s military buildup, no Cold War spending was
allocated through supplementals (see Figure 2). And once you account for the
offsetting contributions from American allies during and after the first Gulf
War ($35 billion out of the total $42 billion price tag), it is clear that
until recently very little U.S. military spending was treated as an emergency.
What a
difference with today’s wars. Five years into the Iraq conflict and seven years
into Afghanistan, the administration and Congress have buried all of the
explicit funding—totaling more than the spending on either the Korea or Vietnam
wars when adjusted for inflation—in emergency supplementals.
What changed?
Aside from internal fiscal discipline, the single biggest procedural shift came
in 2002, when the Congress let lapse a law that had required budget cuts to
“offset” emergency expenditures.
Who
benefited? The Pentagon, the political party that ran
Washington in the early 2000s, and their friends.
“The Bush
administration is clearly capable of projecting costs in
The Size
of the Con
This year
the Department of Defense once again failed to include the cost of war in its
record-breaking $515 billion defense budget for fiscal year 2009. Instead, it
included a placeholder for yet another $70 billion emergency war supplemental—which,
conveniently for the administration, does not get counted in deficit
projections.
Pressed by
Democrats during the annual defense budget hearings in February, Defense
Secretary Robert M. Gates confirmed that the $70 billion was only a small
fraction of the total expected war cost for the year. Pressed further, Gates
estimated that military operations in
He
immediately added, “I have no confidence in that figure.”
From the beginning,
the administration has argued that supplemental bills have the advantage of
being prepared closer to the time when the funds will be used, allowing for a
more accurate assessment of needs and quicker access to money. It also notes
that making the spending separate prevents it from becoming a permanent feature
of the defense budget. In other words, the administration argues, using
supplemental bills is the fiscally responsible thing to do.
A more likely
explanation has little to do with military strategy or budgetary concerns, and
everything to do with the fact that “emergency” spending has very beneficial
features for big spenders in
In 1990,
under bipartisan congressional pressure to reduce the size of the deficit,
President George H.W. Bush signed the Budget Enforcement Act (BEA), which
exempted emergency bills from other rules of the era designed to restrain
spending. The BEA allowed the government to exclude emergency spending from the
deficit projections required in the annual budget. To prevent lawmakers from
abusing that loophole, the law required that Congress offset supplemental
spending with rescissions—that is, by permanently withholding already
appropriated funds.
For a while,
this plan worked well, at least by today’s standards. According to a 2005
Congressional Research Service report, between 1981 and 2002 Congress offset an
average of 40 percent of supplemental appropriations with rescissions. And
those emergencies weren’t for war; during the recession- and inflation-plagued
early 1980s, supplementals were used to fund mandatory outlays for unemployment
compensation. In the early 1990s, the purpose shifted to natural disaster
relief.
But Congress
let the BEA expire in 2002. Since then, supplemental appropriations exceeding
budget caps have no longer triggered automatic cuts elsewhere. Today the only
legislative limit on emergency spending is a congressional prerogative to raise
a point of order to protest the “emergency” designation. This happens rarely if
ever.
The floodgates
are now open. According to data compiled by the Congressional Research Service,
inflation-adjusted supplemental spending has increased nearly fivefold in less
than three decades, from $36 billion in fiscal year 1980 to $160 billion in
2007, boosting its share of the overall budget authority from 3 percent to 7
percent. And these numbers don’t even catch all of the federal government’s
“emergency” spending measures, because some are attached to regular
appropriations, such as the December 2007 omnibus bill containing the $70
billion bridge fund.
But for a true measure of the increase,
we ought to look at supplemental spending as a share of total new discretionary
spending. And there, the trend lines are striking (see Figure 3). Except for a sharp
spike in 1991 to fund the first Gulf War (which was largely offset later),
emergency appropriations remained a very small share of new discretionary
spending through most of the 1990s, staying below 3 percent. Compare that to
2007, when Congress appropriated over 18.3 percent of all discretionary
spending through the supplemental process.
This
profligacy is par for the course with President Bush. Since fiscal year 2001,
the Bush White House has expanded federal spending by 66 percent, in nominal
terms, enacting extremely expensive and pork-swollen bills covering
agriculture, highway, energy, and prescription drugs while doubling the same
federal education budget that Republicans once sought to eliminate.
Regular
military appropriations, too, have more than doubled under Bush. According to
the Office of Management and Budget, the $481 billion defense request for
fiscal year 2008 is 66 percent higher than the budget Bush inherited from
Even that
staggering amount strikes Winslow Wheeler, director of the Strauss Military
Reform Project at the nonpartisan Center for Defense Information, as
incomplete. Wheeler argues that an inclusive definition of the defense budget
should also include the $18 billion requested for nuclear weapon costs by the
Department of Energy and another $6 billion for miscellaneous defense costs
borne by other agencies, such as the General Service Administration, plus
funding for the National Defense Stockpile, the Selective Service, some Coast
Guard, and the International FBI. Together, that would make a grand total of
$700 billion for 2008.
The real
number may be higher still, when factoring in the billions of dollars in other
federal programs that are spent as a direct result of maintaining the military.
According to Christopher Hellman, a defense analyst at the Center for Arms
Control and Non-Proliferation, you could include $43 billion spent on homeland
security activities outside of the Pentagon (mainly through the Departments of
Homeland Security, Health and Human Services, and Justice), $88 billion for the
Department of Veterans Affairs, a portion of the estimated $40 billion
intelligence budget, and some of the $9 billion spent annually on foreign
military aid, plus expenditures on international peacekeeping,
nonproliferation, antiterrorism, demining, military space programs, employees’
and retirees’ compensation and benefits at the Pentagon, veterans’ benefits,
military pensions, and, finally, a conservative $100 billion estimate for the
share of the country’s annual interest payment on the national debt that is
directly attributable to past military spending. That gives us a grand total of
nearly $1 trillion—that’s 12 zeros—in national security spending for 2008
alone.
Even when using only direct outlays by
the Defense Department, 2008 funding was more than 100 percent above 2001. It
is unlikely that the president would have been able to achieve such an increase
if he had to include the costs of war in his budget requests. Sen. Jon Kyl
(R-Ariz.), the chairman of the Republican Policy Committee, spelled out the
utility of shell-game finance in an
Well, yes,
exactly. As a Defense News editorial put it in 2005, the White House is
“using the supplemental as a thinly veiled political attempt to keep the public
from lapsing into sticker shock, and so, losing support for the war.”
At a
requested $892 billion and counting—including a new $70 billion emergency war
request for fiscal 2009—the Global War on Terror is now the second priciest
conflict in U.S. history in inflation-adjusted terms (see Table 1). Only World
War II cost more: $3.2 trillion in adjusted 2007 dollars.
And that’s
only for the direct cost of the war. As my colleague Tyler Cowen at George
Mason University’s Mercatus Center wrote in The Washington Post last
November, “these figures don’t quite get at Iraq’s real cost,” because they
focus on what we paid for rather than recognizing what we have lost. Among
other things, Cowen lists more than 3,800
Christmastime

War
supplementals have become the Pentagon’s tool of choice to obtain more funding
than it would otherwise receive. Helped by its friends in Congress, the Defense
Department keeps finding pretexts to move nonemergency programs, including some
wholly unrelated to the war, into emergency supplementals. This frees space
under the baseline to stuff in additional spending.
Winslow
Wheeler has traced where these “transfer” stunts are readily apparent in the
department’s procurement accounts. For example, in the account for “Aircraft
Procurement, Army” on page 249 of the regular 2006 Pentagon budget, there is
the notation “Transfer to Title IX,” indicating $11.2 million deducted from the
president’s regular annual request that was originally intended to purchase
“aircraft survivability equipment.” The money is then reinserted on page 477
in Title IX, under the designation of “emergency” spending.
In this one
procurement account alone, Wheeler counted 17 such transfers from peacetime
budgeting to “emergency” war spending, totaling $654 million, plus another $107
million more in the small print. The best part of the maneuver from the
Pentagon’s point of view, Wheeler says, is that the transferred money freed
space to buy one F-15E fighter-bomber ($65 million), two Littoral Combat Ships
($440 million), and hundreds of other smaller items. Because similar gimmicks
are used in most of the regular budget’s procurement accounts, Pentagon
watchers say that the emergency transfers add up to tens of billions of
dollars, allowing the Defense Department to boost other parts of its budget by
an equal amount.
The practice
is so routine and uncontroversial that the military openly admits it. Army
Chief of Staff Gen. Peter Schoomaker testified before the Senate in 2005 that
the Army preferred to fund 30,000 additional troops through supplementals
because if it included the necessary funds in its annual budget request, it
“would have to displace other things that are too important to us as we
transform—equipment and other readiness issues. So the department has elected
to do it with emergency and supplemental funding since we have the options to
do so.”
The
president’s latest emergency war request included many nonemergency items, some
not even related to war. According to a document released by the Senate Budget
Committee, $4 billion of the $196 billion officially allocated for the wars has
nothing to do with Iraq or Afghanistan, including $500 million for six
electronic warfare planes (neither the insurgents in Iraq nor Al Qaeda has an
air force or radar) and $400 million for two developmental aircraft that won’t
see service until 2013.
This
practice is about to get much worse. After years of war,
The
Pentagon recently made such budgetary bait-and-switches even easier by greatly
expanding the definition of “war costs” while putting the finishing touches on
its fiscal 2007 war supplemental. Now reconstituting or replacing military equipment for the
“longer war on terror” is reason enough to designate a military line item as an
“emergency.” So any new toy the Pentagon wants can be stuffed in a supplemental
bill. No congressional review need be done, and no compensatory sacrifices need
be made in the regular budget. Nor are any real explanations needed. Emergency
supplementals are not required to contain the “budget justifications” that are
attached to all items in non-emergency defense bills.
Adding final
insult to injury, the Department of Defense deliberately obscures what exactly
is being spent on war. During past conflicts, the Pentagon usually established
a separate account to keep track of operation funds. However, no such account
exists for the war in
On Capitol
Hill, Everybody Wins!
The
Pentagon is not the only shill in the supplemental shell game. Everyone in
Brian Riedl, a budget analyst at the
conservative Heritage Foundation, explains: “The common usage of defense
supplemental bills has increased non-defense spending as well. Lawmakers now
try to shift budget-resolution funds from defense to domestic programs, knowing
that these defense funds can be replenished by adding to the next supplemental
bill.” For instance, in May 2006, House Appropriations Chairman Jerry Lewis
(R-Calif.) asked that $6 billion from proposed defense increases be shifted to
erase almost $4 billion worth of cuts in domestic programs.
The best
example of Congress’s propensity to stuff supplemental bills with pork items
can be found in the most recent supplemental, signed by the president in June
2007, which contained $24 billion in nonemergency spending. That included $120
million for the shrimp and menhaden fishing industries, $283 million for the
Milk Income Loss Contract program, $60 million for salmon fisheries, $100
million for

These earmarks
obviously should not fall under the rubric of emergency spending, but then
neither should have most of the $120 billion bill. More than two years after

Defense
spending may be important, but it does not defy the laws of economics or the
rules of good governance. It is ludicrous to believe that every increase in the
military budget is a good increase.
Yet
despite spending more than ever, and more sloppily than ever, on defense, the
White House, the Pentagon, and some big military spenders among Washington’s
think tank intelligentsia would like us to believe that the bloated Pentagon
budget is frail and in desperate need of more cash. They are more capable of saying this
with a straight face because for years now so many costs of war have been
hidden in supplemental bills.
The best way
to allocate defense resources most effectively is to force a tradeoff between
priority items and wasteful boondoggles in the regular defense budgeting
process. Yet the exact opposite is happening. Instead of having to justify
dumping more billions into controversial old weapons programs such as the Air
Force’s F-22 stealth fighter, the Marine Corps’ tilt-wing V-22 Osprey, the
Navy’s DDG-1000 stealth destroyer and its Virginia-class attack submarine, the
Pentagon can simply move those over into the “emergency” file and put off hard
choices.

clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind: Who maketh his
angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire: Who laid the foundations
of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever. Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a
garment: the waters stood above the mountains. At thy rebuke they fled;
at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away. They go up by the
mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded
for them.
Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over;
that they turn not again to cover the earth. He sendeth the springs into the
valleys, which run among the hills. They give drink to every beast of
the field: the wild asses quench their thirst. By them shall the fowls of the
heaven have their habitation, which sing among the branches.
He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is
satisfied with the fruit of thy works. He causeth the grass to grow for the

hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks for the

his going down. Thou makest darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts
of the forest do creep forth. The young lions roar after their prey, and
seek their meat from God. The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together, and
lay them down in their dens.
Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until

O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast
thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches. So is this great
and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and
great beasts.
There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom
thou hast made to play therein. These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give them their meat in due
season. That thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine
hand, they are filled with good. Thou hidest thy face, they are
troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.

thou renewest the face of the earth. The glory of the LORD shall endure for
ever: the LORD shall rejoice in his works. He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth:
he toucheth the hills, and they smoke.

my supplications. Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I
call upon him as long as I live.
The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of
hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow. Then called I upon the name
of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.
Gracious is the LORD, and
righteous; yea, our God is merciful.
The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low,
and he helped me.
Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath
dealt bountifully with thee. For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine
eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.
I will walk before the LORD in the land of the
living. I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted:
I said in my haste, All men are liars.
What shall I render unto the LORD for all his
benefits toward me? I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of
the LORD. I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his
people. Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.
O LORD, truly I am thy servant; I am
thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds. I
will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name
of the LORD.
I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence
of all his people, In the courts of the LORD'S house,
in the midst of thee, O
HALLELUYAH, HALLELUYAH,
HALLELUYAH,
FOREVER AND EVER AND EVER!!!

O Israel, there is hope that we
will return, but we must first
Fear the Holy ONE of Israel to
live before HIM in Righteousness
and to be obedient to HIS LAW without
adding new ways to serve
the ONLY GOD capable of SAVING the
House of Israel!

O TASTE AND SEE THAT THE LORD GOD
OF ISRAEL
IS JUST AND GOOD!

in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land,

*****
The
All-Mighty GOD of Abraham and Moses did not choose another people but fulfilled
all that HE said HE would do for our forefathers. HE kept HIS promises to the Biblical Israelites
and made a name for them and for HIMSELF in the process, AND HE WILL DO IT
AGAIN for this Holy ONE of Israel does not lie!

are thine: thou never barest rule over them;

PARENTS’ AND CHILDREN’S CORNER…
“Train
up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old,
he will not depart from it.”
Proverbs 22:6
The
works in this section of the JOURNAL are for our children. I am delighted to include them, as these activities
will serve to enlighten our youth about the “Old Testament” GOD of Israel and
HIS concern for HIS Ways of Righteousness and for HIS Love for HIS People. I encourage parents to read and interact with
their children as they make efforts to answer the questions, complete the Word
Search, and read the stories in this section.
Now, monthly, we really do have appropriate literature and activities
for our Hebrew Israelite children. In
time, I shall add other things for them to do that will increase their
knowledge and make learning fun.
Feel
free to copy this section and staple it together in the form of a booklet. Take the time to design a cover page (even
using Clip Art) and TYPE your child’s name at the bottom. Make the activities fun and challenging as
you get involved with them.

“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.”
Deuteronomy
6:4 – 7
“The
secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed
belong unto us and to our children for ever,
that
we may do all the words of this law.”
Deuteronomy
29:29
“Gather
the people together, men, and women, and children, and thy stranger that is
within thy gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear the
LORD your God, and observe to do all the words of this law:
“And
that their children, which have not known any thing,
may
hear, and learn to fear the LORD your God, as long as ye live in the land
whither
ye go over Jordan to possess it.”

"I have been young, and now am old;
yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.
Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.
For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they
are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.
The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.
The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh
of judgment.
The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall
slide.
The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.
The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is
judged.
Wait
on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land:
when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it."
Psalm 25 - 34
***
Words
are written vertically and horizontally and some are truly challenging to find
– maybe because some are written backwards or might have two words that take on
two directions.
Only
a good “eye” will enable you to find all the words. For neatness and legibility, you might want
to use a single line to cross out each word found rather than circling it, and
consider giving each player a different colored pencil.
***
Parents,
you might want to copy the “Word Search” and take turns with your children to complete
this puzzle. And to make the fun even
more exciting, play with a one-minute timer, as you search for each word. If players cannot find their words within the
allotted time, then it’s the next player’s turn and the unfound words can be
used by the next player(s).
Reward
one point per word found. Let the
youngest child start first. Each player
selects his/her own word, or the words can be written on small pieces of paper
and randomly pulled (with eyes closed) from a bag or hat. To encourage vocabulary development, for
certain words give one extra point to the children who can define their
words. Parents will determine which
words are to be defined.
NOW,
see who can rack up the most points!
ENJOY!
(By all
means, do copy the puzzle and use the “Font Size” that suits your purpose.)
***
In the
future, if Brothers and Sisters would like to create a “Word Search” of their
own, I would be delighted to include it in the next JOURNAL. And even suggestions for a Word Search are
always welcome.

HOW MUCH DO OUR CHILDREN KNOW
ABOUT THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL (THE
CREATOR GOD OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC, AND JACOB),
THE HISTORY OF THE HEBREW
ISRAELITES,
AND OUR RIGHTEOUS WAY OF LIFE?
“…God
said moreover unto Moses,
Thus
shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The LORD God of your fathers,
the
God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob,
hath
sent me unto you: this is my name for ever,
and
this is my memorial unto all generations.”
Exodus
3:15
"Gather the people together, men, and women, and children,
and thy stranger that is within thy gates, that they may
hear, and that they may learn,
and fear the LORD your God, and observe to do all the words of this
law:
And that their children, which have not known any thing,
may hear, and learn to fear the LORD your God,
as long as ye live in the land whither ye go over Jordan to possess
it."
Deuteronomy 31:12,13
This
added portion to The LawKeepers JOURNAL is to enlighten our children and
provide parental/child interaction with regard to important events in the “Old
Testament.” It is my hope that these questions will
provide the means for parents and children to study Scripture and enjoy quality
time together.
***
THE QUESTIONS ARENA IS FOR
CHILDREN AND PARENTS TO RESEARCH, REFLECT, AND DISCUSS:
This month’s questions are
intended for ages eight (8) and above.
QUESTIONS TEN 471
- 480 FOR THE DECEMBER 2008 JOURNAL:
471.
When men bring
offerings unto the LORD namely of the sheep and of the goats for burnt
offerings, what are the requirements?
472.
How does the
priest offer the turtledove of the young pigeon?
473.
What are the
ingredients for the Law of the Meat Offering?
474.
What animal is used
for the Law of the Peace Offering?
475.

purifying"?
480.
When someone
touches a man with an issue, touches his bed, sits where he has sat, or if the
unclean man spits upon one who is clean, what is the Law concerning this
uncleanness?
***
By
all means, Parents and Children should feel free to respond and send answers to
me for posting in the next LawKeepers’ JOURNAL.
And do include your name, city, and state. By the way, the answers must be in the form
of complete sentences.
Afraqueen@AOL.COM
SUGGESTION:
On
one side of index cards, have children write individual questions, and on the other
side write the answers to the questions.
Just imagine how knowledgeable our children will be after researching
for the answers to all these questions.
CHILDREN SHOULD BE SURE TO TAKE THEIR ANSWERS FROM THE SCRIPTURES
WITHOUT IMAGINING THEM and include the book, chapter, and verse where the
answers were found. From time to time,
they can shuffle the cards and go over the questions to see if they are able to
recall the correct responses. This
activity should not be a chore, but children should have fun with the questions
and challenge their friends and siblings to see how much they know about the
“Old Testament.” By the way, the numbers
of the questions need not always be in order.
***
“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

CHILDREN’S SHORT STORY…
The
following children’s story is for young brothers and sisters, twelve (12) and
older to read with their parents…
***
THE GIANT EAGLE
Little Moshe and his Ahbah took a walk in the Wilderness of
Gilead marveling at the greenery, the desolation, the bugs, the clouds, the
birds, and at everything else that moved.
And ever since Little Moshe's Ahbah showed him an eagle flying high
around the boulders atop the mountains, he has called every bird an eagle no
matter how big or how small. Little
Moshe is only three and has his own mind about everything, and for that reason,
his Ahbah reads him children's stories about the Bible and talks with him about
the GOD of Israel and about life as much as he can.
When Little Moshe wasn't with his Emah helping in the garden
and in the kitchen, so he thought, he spent time playing with his toys on the
front on the screened-in balcony. Daily,
as his Emah did her housework, she would hear her son talking to himself about
the giant eagle, and she would wonder which of GOD's birds he had seen this
time. When his Ahbah would go over his
older daughter's homework, he would also hear Little Moshe's excitement over
seeing this giant eagle, also.
"Emah, Ahbah, come see my giant eagle. Hurry 'cuz it is getting away," screamed
Little Moshe.
"Okay, son, I'll be right there as soon as I finish
here," Ahbah would always tell him.
"Shalom, my giant friend. See you later," said Little Moshe waving
his hand.
And it wouldn't be long before Little Moshe would be
screaming with joy again and again and again about his giant, flying
friend. But this last time as Little
Moshe screamed about his giant eagle, his Ahbah was finishing up with his
daughter's homework.
"Let me go take a look at this giant eagle," said
Ahbah. "You never know what it is
that kid might be seeing."
"Hurry up, Ahbah, it's flying away!" shouted Little
Moshe.
"Okay, son. Here
I am," said Ahbah straining to see what Little Moshe was calling a giant
eagle. "Okay, where is it?" he
asked.
"Look, way up in the sky where My GOD lives. See it.
Look real good 'cuz it is getting away."
Ahbah looked in the direction where Little Moshe pointed and
saw a jet plane." Laughing out loud
he said, "Son, if that were an eagle, for sure it would be a giant one,
but that is not an eagle. That is a jet
plane. It carries people from one place
to another," Ahbah explained to him.
"But it has wings, Ahbah. I saw them.
It has two wings just like you told me before. Next time, I will show you, and you will
see. They fly by my house so I can see them
all the time," said Little Moshe.
"And it even makes a giant sound, but not like the eagles in the
trees.
"Come here, son.
We have to talk. It's time we
bought you a picture dictionary for children," he told Little Moshe as he
lifted him up onto his lap. "Then,
you will be able to understand about many things," said Ahbah.
"Here, honey, draw him a picture of a jet plane and be
sure to give it windows," said Emah.
"That's a good idea," said Ahbah taking the tablet
and immediately drawing a jet complete with wings and windows.
"Wow, Ahbah, that's a real nice eagle. But it has too many eyes," said Little Moshe.
"These are not eyes, son. These are the windows of the jet plane. People are inside the jet, and they sit by
these windows looking out so that they can see GOD's beautiful clouds, as they
fly through the sky," said Ahbah.
"Wow, Ahbah. Can
I fly in the sky, too?" asked Little Moshe.
"Sure, you can.
But you have to pay money, you know.
You can't just take a seat on a plane and fly for free. Just like you pay for things at the store,
you have to pay to fly in all planes," Ahbah told him.
"But that's GOD's sky.
You told me so, Ahbah. The eagles
fly, and they don't pay, do they, Ahbah?" asked Little Moshe.
"Yes, son, the eagles do fly around in GOD's sky, and
no, they do not have to pay. But we have
to pay the people who own the jet planes."
"Ahbah, do they know about my GOD?" asked Little
Moshe.
"I don't know what these people know, son."
"Well, do they
keep GOD's Law?" he asked his Ahbah.
"Son, that's a good question," Ahbah told him.
"But do they, Ahbah?"
"Boy, where is your Emah? She needs to be in on this
conversation," said Ahbah.
"Ahbah, are you sure we have to pay?"
"Yes, son, there is no question about it. Everybody has to pay for a seat to fly on a
jet plane," said Ahbah exhausted from the jet plane conversation that was
getting nowhere fast.
"Well, then, Ahbah, my GOD should make them pay for
flying around in HIS sky," said Little Moshe.

SCRIPTURAL READINGS FOR PARENTS TO
READ TO AND WITH THEIR CHILDREN:
Genesis 1st Chapter
Exodus 20th Chapter
Deuteronomy 1st Chapter
***
Since
starting to write Children’s stories for The LawKeepers JOURNAL, I have grown
to love this task for they also Exalt Our Holy ONE of Israel, and they tell
rose-colored stories in the process because, with GOD’s Blessings, we will
indeed lead better and happier lives upon our return to our heritage. I believe this with all my heart! Then, we
will enjoy the Righteous lifestyles that you read about in these stories and
live in a tranquility, Peace, and Happiness that only the Holy ONE of Israel
can bring to fruition. And accordingly,
we will one day guard this utopia that will thrive in the LIGHT of GOD’s LAW,
and we will eliminate those who threaten its existence. This won’t just be about FEARING the Holy
ONE to follow HIS Ways, it will be about tasting a divine lifestyle and having
it no other way.

CLOSING SCRIPTURE
EXALTING THE CREATOR GOD OF ISRAEL:
"The law of the LORD is perfect,
converting the soul:
the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.
The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart:
the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.
The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever:
the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous
altogether.
More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine
gold:
sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
Moreover
by them is thy servant warned:
and in keeping of them there is great
reward."
Psalm 19:7 - 11

MOTHERS WITH SONS IN PRISON
MWSIP
(Mothers with sons in prison) is striving
to embrace all mothers of different races, color, creed and nationalities
worldwide to bridge the gap that separates them from their sons within the
prison systems with unconditional love.
***
A
Mother's Release Day
Freedom not only comes physically,
but it originates from the heart. The anticipation of the release day for your
son is also the release day for the mother. When your son goes into prison, you
as his mother go in with him without even being aware of it until it's time for
him to come out.
There's tons of unexpected emotions
that happens when it gets near the release day for your son. You have occupied
for the duration of his time that small little corner within the spiritual
walls of that prison. A small voice from above speaks to you near that time and
tells you "you can come out now".
>Severe fear sets in and you
find yourself glued to a placed that your hearts been in for the time he has
been there. You fear you're leaving him! How can I come out and he's still
there? The small voice speaks again..."you can come out now." the
fear intensifys and you begin to cryin uncontrollably. Your inside screams...
"I CANT' LEAVE HIM, I'M SCARED!" After forcefully shaking until your
bones start to hurt, with a light that shines beside you, you step forward into
the silhouette, and immediately, your son steps out behind you.
Joy unspeakable! You're at the
finish line on your mark waiting for the green light, then waiting for the gun
to go off to fly. A mixture of emotions starts from joy to gladness to
anticipation to fear to being elated to just plain ole crazy inside.
You've been there for him every
minute, everyday, even his day of release, you want to be there not realizing
until it hits you that this is your release day too. Words will never be able
to explain or capture that moment in your heart what you feel. You give up on
trying to describe the feeling. You simply result to "just happy".
Every minute is so special to you as well as him. All past events are just
that, past events. They don't mean anything anymore.
The pain leaves your eyes; the
wisdom sets in along with experience. Now the dove inside you and the eagle
inside him is released-----GO FLY!!!!!!
A Mother's Day In Court
The first time I ever experienced
screaming from the inside out. You're helpless. You've lost all control, the
mercy lies on the court. But what can you do? This is the most helpless time
you can experience. The Life of your child lays in someone else's hands, a total
stranger. A person who has no knowledge of the heart of your son. It's like
someone literally snatches a baby from your arms to do with him what they want
to do with him. You can only scream from the inside out. Heart wrenching as it
is, again, what can you do but beg for the mercy of the court. "Somebody's
mercy, anybody's mercy"!
Everyone in the courtroom are
strangers. They only know the crime and the crime knows them. But everyone,
this place, this dream, you are unfamiliar with. All of the decisions without
my permission come through the court.
What about my decision, my
suggestion, my opinion or even my thoughts? This is my son! No body cares, nor
do they want to hear them. All I want to do is take my boy home with me, but
fate is not on my side this time. The worst day of my life was the day in
court, because a part of me was taken away to a cold, unsafe, non-caring place
of nowhere. Now my son is gone.
A Mother's Travel
The road to your left is the road of
sorrow and grief. The road that veers off to your right is the road of
heartbreak and pain. The road that goes toward the north, is the road of fear,
the road that goes south is the road of unfamiliar. All these roads curve,
twist, and turn.
They eventually end up merging into
the one-way street that the mother travels during the entire time her son is in
prison, which leads toward his heart. Roadblocks are in the millions all across
these roads. Dead end streets are deceitful, because they are without warning.
Where is the end of the road and when will I get there?
The end is there but is it near? Is
the end of the road bright or is it dim? Who will judge that? Some roads are
under construction, they take forever. Some have detours, which brings on
confusion. Some are full of red lights. No matter where you travel to, to see
your son, believe that there is an end to those long roads. The road will end
in this world but never in your heart.
I traveled miles to visit my son
and miles to be that voice on the outside for him, as well as support. You
don't support the crime committed, you support the love for him. If I had to do
it all over again, I would travel those same roads all over again. I would go
down those same streets. It was the beginning of our destiny.

It’s a sad state of affairs to
have to be one of these mothers. It’s
even more of a poignant matter knowing that more often than not, the fathers of
these boys are right there with their sons, strung out on drugs, or dead. But there is hope:
“Attend
unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; for
they are stronger than I.
Bring
my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the righteous shall compass
me about; for thou shalt deal bountifully with me.”
Psalm
142:6,7
“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;
To
open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison,
and
them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.”
Isaiah
42:6,7

DON’T COUNT THE INCARCERATED
BROTHERS AND SISTERS OUT!
In my
last correspondence with Brother Malakim, he informed me that brothers, as young
as sixteen years of age, are being incarcerated. He wants his freedom in order to counsel our
youth. The following is what he wrote
concerning this most poignant issue:
“…I want to do more because there are so many young children
coming to prison now. They are locking
them up at 16 years old now. They are
building two more prisons, and they are not for me, because I’m already
here. The young people should wake up
and see what’s gong on, and I don’t understand why they will not do that.
I want to render myself to them because they do need someone to
look up to.
The LORD GOD of this whole universe is so good to me. I have to do the right thing.”
It has
been suggested that we get out to the prisons and befriend those in the jails
[across the country] and, of course, give them reason to hope, for we know that
Our Holy ONE of Israel can indeed obtain their release if they will turn to HIM
and be obedient to HIS WORD.
“Behold,
the Lord GOD will help me; who is he that shall condemn me?
lo,
they all shall wax old as a garment; the moth shall eat them up.
“Who
is among you that feareth the LORD, that obeyeth the voice of his
servant,
that
walketh in darkness, and hath no light? let him trust in the name of the
LORD,
and
stay upon his God.
“Behold, all ye that kindle a fire, that compass yourselves
about with sparks:
walk in the
light of your fire, and in the sparks that ye have kindled.
This shall ye have of mine hand; ye shall lie down in
sorrow.”
Isaiah 50:9 – 11
“Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and do
them,
that ye may prosper in all that ye do.”
Deuteronomy 29:9
Turning
to the CREATOR GOD couldn’t be more what prospering entails. And “obedience to HIM and to HIS LAW” is the
pinnacle of success - not the imaginations of our hearts that
will in the end only prove to cause us great pain and suffering. What we “think” would be the last thing the
incarcerated would need to hear, and they’d probably see through it anyway.
Should
you take the time to visit with them, PLEASE, PLEASE show these Brothers GOD’s
Way of Life, and share the reasons for our downfall with them and what Our
CREATOR requires that we do to rise out of this Hell.

Subject: Urgent Need for Yisraelite Leaders and
Teachers
Shalom,/SPAN>
Thank you for your inquiry. I am responding to you and to
all Yisraelite leaders and teachers.
There is indeed an urgent need for teachers and leadership at area
prisons. At this time, however, I do not have any inmates that I am
corresponding with at an Ohio prison. If you do know of any incarcerated
in Ohio, I would be happy to add them to our newsletter mailing list.
To provide some background, my name is Peninnah Baht Zion. I
am the Director of Daughters of Zion, Inc. and editor of the Beth OR prison
newsletter. We publish a monthly newsletter and provide tanahks and other
Yisraelite publications for them.
We have been publishing the newsletter for a little over a year
now and the one theme that is always expressed by the inmates is the need for
leadership.
The inmates who are reaching out to us are dedicated men, who have
by some unfortunate turn of events found themselves in the belly of the beast.
I know from their correspondence that it is a hard life,
especially for adherent Yisraelites.
The brothers and sisters are striving against insurmountable odds
to keep the laws of Yah in captivity within captivity.
Struggles with dietary issues and the need for instruction are
major concerns. They need local advocates to assist them.
They need leadership to stay strong in
prison. Christian and Muslim organizations are strong in the
prisons. However, the Yisraelite population has no organizational
structure to influence and advocate for them. This is primarily because,
thank Yah, their numbers are very small.
Listed above is a contact person for each of the facilities that
we are in communication with. If your camp is located near one of
these prisons, please arrange a visit to teach a group. They would be
happy to receive instruction for one day, one week, or one hour a month.
Please respond if you can help.
