PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME
FOR HE IS WORTHY TO BE PRAISED!!!
Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God [is] one LORD:

Here we have
another well written article by Brother Ezrah Aharone that points to all the
reasons why Hebrew Yisraelites should not participate in any US politically
system.
Democratic Blackness vs. Republican
Blackness
By EZRAH AHARONE 11/2011
Ever since Republican Herman Cain, a self-described “Black conservative,”
remarked that two-thirds of Black
Democrats are “brainwashed,” the question of his “Blackness” has been
contrasted with that of President Obama.
Beyond the resentment from brainwashing claims, this issue should prompt
discourse and partisan introspection to determine if Blackness “politically
exists” in either party.
First, what is Blackness and how is it
measured? Originally, before its 1960s
incarnation, Black was
derogatory. But during the Civil
Rights/Black Power Movements we embraced Black. Understanding that White establishmentarian
practices were self-serving and antithetical, Blackness not only signified color,
but moreover consciousness. Among others, a consciousness that our
common and collective self-interests should not be compromised to accommodate
White interests . . . A consciousness that we are the first and last lines of
defense against manmade inequalities . . . A self-determinative consciousness
of “Black Nationalism” to rightly restore and advance what little remained of
our tattered personhood and African-ness.
However, the admirable ideals of nationalism as espoused worldwide by
others, were co-opted and unfairly stigmatized as something impermissible and
unintelligently odd for us . . . As if “being Black” and “being Nationalistic”
are intrinsically racist . . . As if “all was well” and then the Black Power
Movement just illegitimately popped-out of nowhere without explainable need or
historical context. Conjunctly,
Webster’s favorably defines “Nationalist” as “A member of a political party or
group advocating national independence or strong national government,” while
“Black Nationalist” is debased as “A member of a group of militant blacks who
advocate separatism from whites.”
Coupled with this demonizing, Blackness never gained mainstream political
traction, given that the brute force and psychological methods originally used
to instill fear and obedience, also distorted our sense of self-identity and
self-relevance, causing us to yearn and politically validate our self-worth
according to how far and fast we assimilate and gain acceptance.
But by no means did/does our assimilation constitute a mutual merger of
two equally liberated people. Being a
fragmented subculture, we integrated into their already-existing nation of
fully-operational designs.
We conformed, we did not construct the sovereign or
nationalistic or ideological contours of the nation.
Other than our labor and loyalty, we hobbled into the relationship
without independently possessing anything that they didn’t already own or
control. Hence, no “bilateral agreement”
of any sort was ever jointly signed.
While we are visible in both Parties today, our presence should not be
mistaken as “equal receptivity” of Euro-Americans to infuse Black/African mores
or ideals into governance. Contrarily,
our presence reflects our “full receptivity” to their practices of governance,
including ambiguous wars that mock governing principles of Dr. King who is
enshrined on the National Mall for placation.
That said, in effort to prove we are just as “American” as they are, we
adopted their ethos, ethics, traditions, belief systems and sociopolitical
traits as our own. Black ideals and
agendas that do not supplement their norms are routinely proscribed as racist,
inconsequential, and non-authoritative.
This partly explains why Black Democrats accept Obama’s “race-neutral”
position to not openly support Black Agendas aimed at inequalities,
even though we openly supported him as a bona-fide constituency with 96% of
Black votes. Knowing that Black-related
agendas would rile both parties, we devised the face-saving retreat that:
“Obama’s not the president of Black America; he’s the president of all
Americans.” Nevertheless, our very need
for such agendas, links to the very fact that all of the prior 43 White
presidents were “the president of all Americans” too, yet that didn’t preclude
35 of them (
In sum, there’s really no functional scale of Blackness by which Obama or Cain can be weighed since Black
consciousness has been relegated as “politically impertinent” to the
ideological and nationalistic makeup of both parties. More and more, Black consciousness is becoming like
a hobby that’s only relevant in privacy or at barbeques and family
reunions. So unless the political
legitimacy and authentic collectivity of Black self-interests are evolutionized
with 21st-century relevance and functionality, then by mass default, men like
Obama and Cain will personify a Siamese standard of a new “Say It Loud . . .”

Tribute to the New Moon:
Select the Month and Year for Monthly Moon Phase
Calendar:
http://www.physics.sjsu.edu/tomley/MoonPhase.html
(Copy the link into your browser.)
The service of this solar/lunar calendar of TORAH READINGS is by definition using the “LIGHTS” of the sun and moon, according to
Genesis 1:14, to number the “days” of each month. And the dark phases of
the moon cooperatively and conveniently provide a break between the
months. If there were no dark phases of the moon, we would have a tough
time determining when one month ended and when another would
begin. Hence, because the Commandment is to use the “Lights” in the
Heavens for “Signs” for seasons, days, and years, the New Moon Crescent is what
provides us with our first lights of each new month and these lights continue
waxing and waning until they are diminished to the dark phases. And then
in two to three days, the New Moon Crescent reappears again starting the First
Day of another new month.
Realizing that even some Israelites use the dark phase
of the moon to call the new month, I would like to add one obvious
fact. By definition, there can only be a “New Moon,” per se, after
the dark phase interval and when the New Moon Crescent reappears,
thus, we understand the concept of having a “New” moon.
If the dark phase of the moon begins the First Day of
the month, then when the New Moon Crescent is “Sighted” that could
approximately be as far into the month as the Fourth Day, i.e., the appearance
of the “Light” in the Heavens could possibly fall on the Fourth Day. It
makes no sense to start to count the first dark phase of the moon as being the
First Day of the month, as this process disregards the use of the “Light” in
the Heavens to determine our “days,” as we are Commanded
to do in Genesis 1:14. Consider what King David said in I Samuel
20:24: “…when the New Moon was come…” He had to be
speaking about the New Moon Crescent, as we are unable to “Sight” the
appearance of the dark phase or rather see it “come.”
It’s the absence of seeing the moon for forty-eight or
more hours that enables us to identify the approaching Crescent “Sign” in the
Heavens (mentioned in Genesis 1:14) that recognizes the moon as being
“New.” And upon “Sighting” this “New” Crescent” we
distinguish it as being the “New Moon” and the time of the New Month, as well.
PLEASE NOTE:
The Hebrew New Year is also determined by the “LIGHTS” in the Heavens
and not by the “sighting of barley,” as some Black Hebrew Israelites and
European “Jews” advocate.
***
“For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I
will make,

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

and from

shall all
flesh come to worship before me,

LORD.”

START THE NEW MOON WATCH ON THE EVENINGS OF
<<< DECEMBER 24,25,26, 2011 >>>
BY LOOKING IN THE “WEST” JUST ABOVE THE HORIZON.
“He appointed the moon for seasons…”
Psalm 104:19
The first “Sign” in the Heavens to provide the start
of days, years and “seasons” can only begin with the “Sighting” of the New Moon
Crescent - that which we can “see” in order for it to serve as a “Sign” and
enable us to begin counting our days and months. Just imagine not being
able to “see” the moon at all. How then could it be appointed for a
“Sign” or for “seasons”?
“The natural thought might be that the moon is like a
living being. It is born, grows, reaches maximum
size, then fades and dies, going through all these stages in one month.
Even today, we still talk of the thin crescent in the western sky as a new
moon and the thin crescent in the eastern sky a month later as the
old moon. Half way between is the full moon. As I explained
earlier, this cycle of phases of the moon established the month as a unit of
time, and the first calendars were based on this.” ISAAC
ASIMOV’S GUIDE TO EARTH AND SPACE, pages 79 and 80
In that the King of Israel is supposed to be a “Righteous
Judge” (II Chronicles 1:11), it stands to reason that he is also supposed
to be a “Righteous Role Model.” Thus, if the King that GOD
appoints over Israel observes a “feast” on the day of the New Moon, then
wisdom tells the Nation of Israel to do likewise. King Saul and the
anointed David observed this service (I Samuel 20th Chapter).
To their and our hurt our forefathers worshipped all
manner of symbols: the sun, moon, stars, and images of gold and
silver. To observe the “Sign” in the heavens as being the New Moon
“Sighting” is NOT worshipping the moon, but rather it is doing as we are COMMANDED
in Genesis 1:14:
“And God said, Let there be lights in the
firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs,
and for seasons, and for days, and years:”
Some people feel that the moon has no “light,” but
according to GOD’s WORD to HIS Prophets, it most certainly does: Isaiah 13:10; Isaiah 30:26; Jeremiah 31:35;
Ezekiel 32:7.
***
“Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful
noise unto the God of Jacob.
“Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the
pleasant harp with the psaltery.
“Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time
appointed,
on
our solemn feast day.
“For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the
God of Jacob.”
Psalm 81:1 – 4
(A Psalm of Asaph, the Seer –
one
who should be well informed about GOD’s Ways)
“Also in the day of your gladness, and in your solemn
days, and in the beginnings of your months, ye shall blow with the trumpets
over your burnt offerings,
and over
the sacrifices of your peace offerings; that they may be to you for a
memorial before your God: I am the LORD your God.”
Numbers 10:10
Contrary to the belief of some Israelites, the moon
does indeed shine! Even if the Moon shines with the aid of the sun, i.e.,
reflects the light of the sun, IT STILL SHINES! And the fact that Scripture attests to this
fact, is what’s important: Isaiah 60:19; Jeremiah 31:35; and Ezekiel
32:7. Therefore, Genesis 1:14 is proof enough that we must use the
shining New Moon Crescents as “…SIGNS, AND FOR SEASONS, AND FOR DAYS, AND FOR
YEARS:”
Some Israelites, along with White Jews, use the dark
phase of the moon to determine the start of a new month. If the dark phase of the moon lasts for “2-3
days,” then which of these days is supposed to be the distinguishing “Sign”
that determines the First Day of the month? Or do we just arbitrarily
select either/or depending on the imaginations of our hearts?
On the contrary, with the use of the sighted “Sign”
of the New Moon Crescent in the Heavens we eliminate any confusion as to which
day IS the First Day of the month.
“So David hid himself in the field:
and WHEN THE NEW MOON WAS COME, the king sat him down to eat meat.” I Samuel 20:24
At the time of the dark phases of the moon (generally
2-3 days), as previously written, there is no “moon” in SIGHT. Therefore,
I Samuel 20:24 sheds more light on Genesis 1:14.
“WHEN THE NEW MOON WAS COME,” is clearly telling readers that this is
a reference to a visible “Moon Crescent Sighting” -
the light in the firmament…i.e., the “Sign” for (lunar) days. Thus, if we
are to count all the lunar days (29.5) in a month, it only makes sense to start
counting from the New Moon Crescent “when the New Moon was come” and NOT from
the dark phases at the end of the month, which do not emit any “sign” or
“light” in the heavens.
The only problem that presents itself when using the
“New Moon Sighting” to call the First Day of the month is cloud coverage, as
this prevents the ability to see the New Moon Crescent.
Nonetheless, when “Sighted,” one can easily distinguish the New Moon Crescent
from all the other phases due to its thin sliver and its low position in the
heavens. And the reason is that no two days or rather phases of the
visible moon are alike. Hence, to use the New Moon Crescent as the
“Sign” in the heavens, as we are COMMANDED to do for our seasons, days, and
years, negates the belief that the “commandment was given to the
luminaries.” The “luminaries” fulfill GOD’s Commandments: the sun
shines and the moon orbits the Earth. They have no need to determine
seasons, days, and years. Hence, our New Moons are obviously of more
spiritual significance to the Nation of Israel than we are aware. And for
sure, the TRUTH concerning them are in GOD’s WORD to
HIS Prophets/Seers - not the White Jews or other Gentiles. All we need do
is use wisdom, discern what’s written in Scripture, accept it, and act
accordingly!
“Then Solomon offered burnt offerings unto the LORD on
the altar of the LORD, which he had built before the porch,
“Even after a certain rate every day, offering
according to the commandment of Moses, on the sabbaths,
and on the new moons, and on the solemn feasts, three times in the year,
even in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the
feast of tabernacles.” II Chronicles 8:12,13
Unless there is an emergency, please try not to buy or
sell on this day. Conduct all financial and business transactions prior
to the day of the New Moon. Interesting enough, II Kings 4:23,24 constitutes the New Moon as being a day to seek “the man
of God.” Although the New Moon is NOT a Day of Rest, Our GOD did set
it aside for recognition:
“Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time
appointed, on our solemn feast day.”
Psalm 81:3
“And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon
to another, and from one Sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship
before me, saith the LORD.” Isaiah 66:23
“…When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn?…”
Amos 8:5
Probably, the Scripture that most determines and
clarifies the fact that our New Moons are Feast Days is Ezekiel 45:17:
“And it shall be the prince’s part to give burnt
offerings, and meat offerings, and drink offerings, in the feasts, and in
the NEW MOONS, and in the Sabbaths, in ALL SOLEMNITIES of the house of
Israel: he shall prepare the sin offering, and the meat offering, and
the burnt offering, and the peace offerings, to make reconciliation for the
HOUSE OF ISRAEL.” (Caps. are mine.)
Unequivocally, our New Moons are included in these
“SOLEMNITIES” mentioned in Ezekiel
45:17.
“Likewise the people of the land shall worship at the
door of this gate before the LORD in
the Sabbaths [Feasts – NOT 7th Day Sabbaths*] and in the NEW
MOONS.” Ezekiel 46:3 (Brackets are mine.)
Thereby, this verse justifies the First Day of each
month being our “Feast” Day. It
should be realized that the Feast Days that Our GOD selected (Leviticus 23rd
Chapter) are “Holy Convocations,” i.e., on these days we cannot do any
work. However, because King Saul observed the New Moon as a Feast Day, we
have every reason to do so, as well. We also have learned that
our forefathers traveled to the Temple to worship the Holy ONE on the New Moon
(II Kings 4:23; Ezekiel 45:17; and Ezekiel 46:1), and when HE has HIS Temple
rebuilt, then we will again be able to resume this service and worship.
When we return to our heritage and worship YIHOVAH
according to HIS Ways, then we can establish our own “Calendar of the
Universe,” whereby, the days of the New Moon and all GOD’s Holy Days will be
recognized by the whole entire World.
And I am sure that it will be the desire of the Righteous Remnant and ALL the world to make a Feast to the Most High GOD of
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob/Israel every First Day of the Month.
ALSO, I believe that if Lot (Genesis 19:3) and Abraham
(Genesis 21:8) can proclaim “Feasts,” then there is no stipulation for NOT
establishing Feast Days, as we so desire. Therefore, to proclaim a feast to EXALT the Holy ONE of
Israel on the First Day of each month is quite acceptable - given the Scripture
(above) regarding worshipping Our LORD GOD of ISRAEL, Our SAVIOR, on the New
Moons. We should know that throughout the Tanakh Hebrew Israelites called
for “feasts” for various occasions. Therefore, we are within our rights
to observe a Feast every New Moon to Our GOD, the GOD of Abraham, Isaac, and
Jacob/Israel. And those of us who love this WONDERFUL GOD and
who choose HIM to EXALT HIM for being the ONLY LORD and SAVIOR can be at
liberty to use the day of the New Moon to show forth HIS PRAISE in a “feast”
and worship HIM in Jerusalem FOREVER.
“And Solomon awoke; and, behold, it was a dream. And
he came to Jerusalem, and stood before the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and
offered up burnt offerings, and offered peace offerings, and [he] made a feast
to all his servants.”
I Kings 3:15
*Leviticus 23:24,39 (Sabbaths of Feasts)
*******
A Tribute to GOD’s “HOLY” Seventh Day Sabbath of Complete
REST - HIS WEEKLY ANNIVERSARY OBSERVANCE and SIGN between HIM and Israelites
for HIS CREATION of the Heavens and the Earth:
“Wherefore the children of Israel shall
keep the sabbath,
to observe the sabbath throughout their
generations, for a perpetual covenant.
It is a sign between me and the children of
Israel for ever:
for in six days the LORD made heaven and
earth,
and on the seventh day he rested, and was
refreshed.”
Exodus 31:17,18
Since we know for a fact that GOD’s Holy Seventh Day
Sabbath is a “Sign” between HIM and Israel, why take any chance to profane it? Every passage about the Holy Sabbath of
COMPLETE Rest stands strong in support of GOD’s Commandment to abide in our
places on the Seventh Day (Exodus 16:29) – ever last one of them – including
the passage in Jeremiah where we are Commanded to “Take heed to yourselves,
and bear no burden on the Sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates of
Jerusalem;” Jeremiah 17:21
(Please read verses 21 to 27.)
Perhaps the wise thing to do would be to define the
word “burden.” But more importantly, we need to determine whether or
not Exodus 16:29 is a Commandment or not. And if it is determined to be
one, then we should Fear the GOD of Israel and be obedient to what HE has Commanded of us.
“But the LORD, who brought you up out of
the land of Egypt with great power
and a stretched out arm, him shall ye fear,
and him shall ye worship,
and to him shall ye do sacrifice. And
the statutes, and the ordinances, and the law,
and the commandment, which he wrote for you,
he shall observe to do for ever more;
and ye shall not fear other gods.”
II Kings 17:36,37
Why must we debate that which is clearly written for
us to do and for very good reason,
if we will only consider and think about it? The Holy ONE wants us to
be first to observe HIS weekly Anniversary of Creation, which is to keep HIS
Holy Seventh day at REST, as HE did, in order that we might be
REFRESHED!
“REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY, TO KEEP IT HOLY”
Exodus 20:8
“See, for that the LORD hath given you the
sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide
ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.” Exodus 16:29
“And Moses gathered all the congregation of
the children of Israel together, and said unto them, These
are the words which the LORD hath commanded, that ye should do them.
“Six days shall work be done, but on the
seventh day there shall be to you an holy day, a
sabbath of rest to the LORD: whosoever doeth work therein shall be put to
death.” Exodus 35:1,2
“Six days shall work be done: but the
seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an holy
convocation [“HOLY DAY”]; ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of the
LORD in all your dwellings.”
Leviticus 23:3
“Six days may work be done; but in the
seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD:
whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.
Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath,
to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.
It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days
the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was
refreshed.” Exodus
31:15 - 17
“And on the seventh day God ended his work
which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he
had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because
that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.” Genesis 2:2,3
Significantly, in the beginning when the Holy ONE of
Israel established this Sabbath Day of COMPLETE REST and when HE clearly
COMMANDED the Children of Israel in the Wilderness to observe this Holy Day, HE MADE NO EXCEPTIONS!
If “ALL” GOD’s COMMANDMENTS are sure, then for sure,
we must give credence to Exodus 16:29 and abide in our places on GOD’s HOLY
Seventh Day of Complete REST as we are COMMANDED TO DO!
“He hath shewed his people the power of his works,
that he may give them the heritage of the heathen. The works of his hands are
verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure.” Psalm
111:7
GOD’s Holy Seventh Day Sabbath of REST is not only one
of HIS Greatest WORKS of all time, but this Holy Day is an extraordinary “SIGN”
between this Most High GOD, the CREATOR and HIS Chosen People, the Children of
Israel! This Seventh Day also marks the Anniversary of GOD ending the
Creations of the Heavens, Earth, man, and all that is therein.
“Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all
the host of them. And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made;
and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God
blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested
from all his work which God created and made.” Genesis 2:1 - 3
“And he said unto them, This
is that which the LORD hath said, Tomorrow is the rest of the holy sabbath
unto the LORD: bake that which ye will bake today, and seethe that ye will
seethe; and that which remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the
morning.
“See, for that the LORD hath given you the sabbath,
therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye
every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.”
Exodus 16:23,29
“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
“Behold, I have taught you statutes and judgments,
even as the LORD my God commanded me, that ye should
DO SO IN THE LAND whither ye go to possess it.” Deuteronomy 4:5 (Caps. are mine.)
CONSIDER ALSO the fact that the CREATOR GOD
of Israel only Commanded that we go to Jerusalem “THREE
TIMES in the year”. Had the Holy ONE wanted us to travel to Jerusalem
on HIS Holy Sabbath Day of COMPLETE REST, HE would have Commanded
that, as well. Thus, given Exodus 16:29, we have to realize, understand,
and accept the fact that it was never HIS intention for us to travel and/or
leave our places on HIS most Holy Seventh Day.
“Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto
me in the year. Thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened bread: (thou
shalt eat unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded thee, in the time
appointed of the month Abib; for in it thou camest out from Egypt: and none
shall appear before me empty:) And the feast of
harvest, the firstfruits of thy labours, which thou hast sown in the field: and
the feast of ingathering, which is in the end of the year, when thou
hast gathered in thy labours out of the field. Three times in the year
all thy males shall appear before the Lord GOD.” Exodus 23:14 - 17
“Three times in a year shall all thy males
appear before the LORD thy God in the place which he shall choose; in
the feast” Deuteronomy 16:16
There is no Scripture indicating that
Israelites traveled to Jerusalem on GOD’s HALLOWED SEVENTH DAY.
THE PLACE THAT OUR GOD OF ISRAEL CHOSE IS THE HOLY
CITY JERUSALEM.
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 Holy ONE of Israel DOES NOT contradict HIMSELF! HE would not COMMAND us to “Rest” on the
Sabbath Day of Rest and also Command us to “abide ye every man in your place on
the seventh day,” and then confuse us by telling us to “assemble” on the
“rest of the holy sabbath unto the LORD.” This would make absolutely
no sense whatsoever. Therefore, if the Holy ONE of Israel said don’t bear
a burden on the Sabbath Day of Rest (Jeremiah 17:21,22)
and that our asses (used for travel) had to also rest, then for sure we have to
“abide in our places…on the seventh day.” Thus, using our cars and paying
tolls and public transportation on GOD’s Holy Seventh Day of Rest is absolutely
forbidden! And walking to the Temple or to any meeting place was and
still is out of the question all because GOD’s Seventh Day is specifically to
be kept as a DAY of “COMPLETE REST” - Shabatone (as is written in
Hebrew).
The wise, obedient ones understand the great
importance of observing this Seventh Day of Rest exactly as GOD Commanded and
will not add to or diminish from this Law of the “Blessed,” “Sanctified,”
and “Holy” Seventh Day Sabbath.

QUESTIONS ON “OLD TESTAMENT” BIBLE TRIVIA TO PONDER:
QUESTIONS
TWO:
1.
“And Abraham planted a grove in Beersheba, and called
there on the name of the LORD, the everlasting God.” Genesis 21:33
“And
the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the
children of Israel, and say unto them, I am the LORD your God. After the doings
of the land of Egypt, wherein ye dwelt, shall ye not do: and after the doings
of the land of Canaan, whither I bring you, shall ye not do: neither shall ye
walk in their ordinances.
“Ye
shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit any of
these abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that
sojourneth among you:” Leviticus 18:1 – 3,26
“And ye shall be holy unto me: for I the LORD am holy,
and have severed you from other people, that ye should be mine.” Leviticus 20:26
“For
thou hast confirmed to thyself thy people Israel to be a people unto thee for
ever: and thou, LORD, art become their God.
“And
let thy name be magnified for ever, saying, The LORD of hosts is the God over
Israel: and let the house of thy servant David be established before thee.” II Samuel 7:24,26
“And even to your old age I am he; and even to hoar
hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and
will deliver you.” Isaiah
46:4
If the CREATOR GOD is Our EVERLASTING GOD, then
why do people devote “Sunday” to JC, give him the glory, call upon him, and
worship him?
2.
“Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will
punish all them which are circumcised with the uncircumcised;” Jeremiah 9:25
“Hear
ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of Israel: Thus saith the
LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of
heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. For the customs of the people are
vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the
workman, with the axe. They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it
with nails and with hammers, that it move not. They
are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs
be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do
evil, neither also is it in them to do good.” Jeremiah 10:1 – 5
“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
“Prophesy therefore concerning the land of Israel, and
say unto the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys,
Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my fury,
because ye have borne the shame of the heathen:” Ezekiel 36:6
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS TWO:
1.
Why did the CREATOR GOD set the example that
“The evening and the morning” starts each 24-hour day of the week?
Evening starts the onset of NIGHT, and morning
begins the onset of DAY. These two
entities together are required to define each 24-hour day.
2.
Should Israelites observe Hanukka?
I could easily simply say, “NO”, and add that it
is not a day ordained by the GOD of Israel, and leave it at that. But Hanulla is a day fabricated by European
“Jews”.
However, I would like to expound on this heathen
holiday to a greater extent. It is
impossible for Hanukka to be an Israelite observance. First of all, it is a holiday that was
supposedly ADDED to GOD’s Ways long after GOD determined HIS Book of the Law
and after HE Commanded that we cannot add to nor diminish from HIS LAW. Secondly, at the time of this “holiday of
lights”, the Children of Israel had already been scattered throughout the world
to fulfill the curses in Deuteronomy 28th Chapter. Hence, the same people who established the
Talmud and Judaism are the same people who invented Hanukka.
Hanukka is the work of so-called “Jews” who set
up this holiday to correspond with the season of Christmas – just another pagan
holiday also established by man.

THE FUTURE OF HEALTH CARE:
HOW DIFFICULT IS IT TO CHANGE?
Since the Obama administration is busy attempting to
"reform health care", I'd like to canvass those here at The
LawKeepers Website to elicit your opinions and/or suggestions about how you
think changing the system would work. I would also like for viewers to look at
Michael Moore's "Sicko" documentary for some insight into the present
American Health Care System.
We all are responsible for safeguarding our health and
the health of those of our immediate families. And in the coming days and years
we will face some real health challenges. Please send your comments and
ideas in so we can discuss health and health care to find real solutions.
I'd like to know about people's experiences with
either health care practitioners, e.g., doctors, nurses, Physician Assistants
(PA's) or APN (Advanced Practice Nurses), Registered Nurses, Licensed Practical
Nurses (LPNS), Certified Nurses Assistants (CNA's, Nurses Aides), Medical
Assistants or experiences while patients are in hospitals, clinics., etc.
In the coming years we will see more and more
"walk in" type clinics run by either privately run or individually controlled
medical care.
I look forward to receiving your opinions and
concerns.

Top 10 Home Remedies
for the Common Cold
The best cold remedies
are often the easiest and the most reliable, chicken soup included.
It turns out that your
grandma was on to something. Soothing the common cold can be
as easy as gargling with salt water and spooning down the chicken soup. Here
are the 10 best cold remedies to try at home that will have you feeling better
before you know it.
1. Drink lots of fluids. The
American Lung Association recommends drinking eight glasses of water or juice
per day when trying to get rid of a common cold. Staying hydrated helps
moisturize the lining of the nose and throat, which makes mucus easier to
clear. But be sure to avoid caffeinated or alcoholic drinks, as they can cause
dehydration.
2. Use an air humidifier. You
can also help keep nasal and throat passages moist by using an air humidifier,
particularly in the winter months when heating makes the air inside your home
very dry.
3. Try a neti pot. Another
way to prevent nasal dryness is with a neti pot,
a nose-rinsing device found in drug and health-food stores. These pots are
filled with a saline (salt water) solution and are inserted into one nostril
while the user tilts his or her head to the side to allow the solution to flow
up the nasal passage and out the other nostril.
4. Eat chicken soup. The
old adage about chicken soup being good for a cold is practically as old as the
common cold itself. But it turns out there's some truth to what your
grandmother has been telling you all these years. "Chicken soup is nice
for the common cold because it loosens up your mucus," says Norman
Edelman, MD, chief medical officer of the American Lung Association.
5. Take echinacea. Evidence
is mixed on the effects of echinacea
on the common cold, but some experts say it can be helpful. "Echinacea
does not prevent infection, but trials for the treatment of upper respiratory
conditions have shown a reduction in duration of symptoms with echinacea,"
says Adriane Fugh-Berman, MD, associate professor at Georgetown University's
Complementary and Alternative Medicine Master's Program in Washington, D.C.
6. Reach for some zinc lozenges. Like
echinacea, the mineral zinc gets mixed marks when being assessed for its
effectiveness against the common cold. "I have not seen any evidence for
prevention," says Dr. Fugh-Berman, "but there is some evidence that
intranasal zinc [zinc nasal sprays] or zinc
in the form of lozenges can decrease the symptoms of a common cold."
7. Take vitamin C. It's
up there with chicken soup as far as legendary cold remedies go, and there
might be some truth to vitamin C being helpful as well. Some evidence shows
that it can reduce the duration and severity of a common cold.
8. Give your nose a massage. Research
shows that massaging an acupuncture point known as yingxiang, located at the
lower border of the nostril, can provide relief from nasal congestion.
9. Gargle with water. A
recent study in which participants gargled with water three times a day found
that the ritual can help prevent upper respiratory tract infections. So gargle
away, before that common cold gets any worse.
10. Stock your medicine cabinet. Not
exactly a home remedy in the traditional sense, but there's no denying that
over-the-counter (OTC) cold remedies can provide temporary relief. The American
Lung Association recommends that these medications be taken as soon as common
cold symptoms arise. If you have high blood pressure, though, talk to your
doctor about any OTC cold medications you should avoid.
And of course, there's
no substitute for eating
right and getting plenty of rest to keep your immune system strong so that
you're in prime shape to keep those colds at bay!

4 Steps to Being Worry Free
Take control of your anxiety by following this expert
advice
By Gail
Saltz, MD
Photo
by: Sam Edwards/Getty Images
Special Offer
Even though she said her life was pretty
good, Carol,* 48, came to see me because she couldn’t stop worrying about what
would happen if her husband lost his job or if her son’s struggles in school
would mean that he’d never get into college. “A lot of the time, I have this
feeling that something terrible is about to happen, and really, I don’t even
know what it is,” she told me. I call this a case of the “what-ifs.” “What
if I’m late to work and I miss my meeting?” Or worse: “What if this
stomachache is actually an ulcer?” “What if my child is late coming home from
school because she’s been kidnapped?” The truth is,
everyone worries. And some worrying actually helps you cope and function. Being
stressed out about a big meeting, for example, can help motivate you to prepare
for it. But too much worrying creates tension and anxiety, which zaps concentration,
making you unable to cope.
If you find yourself worrying a lot, ask
yourself some preliminary questions that I always ask my patients: Do you worry
more than half the day, every day? Do these thoughts break in during otherwise
pleasant times, like when you’re watching a movie, reading a book or talking
with your family, and make it hard to concentrate in general? Do you feel
jittery and nervous? A little short of breath? Like
you want to pace or even jump out of your skin sometimes? Do you avoid
activities that you’d normally like to do because you feel too worried?
Essentially, is anxiety keeping you from being you?
If you answered yes to one or more of these
questions, and you’ve been feeling this way for a few weeks, then worrying is
taking up too much space in your mind. And it can start to have an effect on
your mental and physical well-being. Worrying creates stress—and feeling this
way in the long term raises your risk of so many health problems, including
heart disease, ulcers, irritable bowel syndrome and even asthma. Not to mention
that the anxiety can interfere with your ability to concentrate and sleep, and
make you generally irritable. At the heart of it, constant worry keeps you from
fully participating in the joys of everyday life.
Like just about all health conditions, worry
tends to run in families. So if one of your close relatives (a parent,
grandparent or sibling) tends to be a worrier, then chances are you’re prone to
it as well. Also, anxiety is twice as common in women as it is in men, which
isn’t surprising when you consider that women tend to be more aware of their
emotions and manage the emotional well-being of other people in their lives.
Excessive worrying can lead to Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), a common
emotional issue that affects about 6.8 million Americans each year, 60 percent
of them women. But GAD is very treatable (more on that later), and just because
you worry doesn’t mean you have GAD.
The following steps can go a long way toward
easing your mind.
1. Recognize You’re
Worrying.
Carry a pen and paper with you and jot down a
worry when it comes into your head. Recording your thoughts is called
self-observation, and it can help diminish the intensity of your anxiety and
its effect on you. Sounds so basic, but by writing down what’s worrying you,
you’re better able to understand it, which helps it feel more contained and
manageable. For example, Lynn, a 39-year-old banker, came to see me because she
had been having trouble sleeping for several weeks. It wasn’t until she wrote
down her worries that she realized her concerns about her mother’s declining
health and her son not making the basketball team were giving her insomnia.
Noting your worries also helps you realize
how often (or not) you’re really doing it. People often say “I worry all the
time,” but when they go through the day and note when they worry, they may
realize that they’re only doing it once or twice. And that gives them some
reassurance that things aren’t as bad as they thought. Record your worries for
at least a day or two. Often, my patients keep doing it until they’ve worked
through the stressful period because it makes them feel better. Photo:

2. Do a Reality Check.
Once you have your anxieties in writing, ask
yourself, “What are the chances that this worry will actually happen? Can I do
something about this, and if so, have I done all that I can do?” This can help
you see that the worries may be exaggerated, that you’re overworrying and/or
that you have things more under control than you thought.
When Lynn explored her fear that her son
wouldn’t make the basketball team, she realized that this was connected to a
deeper anxiety that if he didn’t make the team, he would feel like a failure
and that she, in turn, would feel like she’d failed him as a mother. Thinking
through the worry helped her see that if the worst happened and her son didn’t
make the team, it would be an opportunity for him to gain the valuable life
skill of learning how to deal with disappointment. And that in fact it’s her job
as a (good) mother to teach him how to cope. Photo: Thinkstock
3. Make a Plan.
This helps break the worry cycle: The more
you worry, the more out of control you feel, which makes you worry even more.
Putting action steps in writing can give you a handle on the situation. List
your specific worries, then write down two or three
concrete things you can do about each one. If you’re stressing about something
that could happen (but hasn’t yet), write down what you would do if it did.
Once Carol had listed her concerns about her son and husband, she decided to
deal with her son’s difficulties in school by having him tested to understand
his exact issues and how to best help him. Outlining this plan eased her
anxiety.
Carol’s worries about her husband’s job
stability stemmed from the fact that he had been passed over for a promotion,
and she feared that he would become depressed or anxious. She made a plan to
talk to her husband about how he was handling the loss. Their discussions
helped her see that he wasn’t falling apart. In fact, her support made him feel
better, and she felt more relaxed knowing that she was helping the situation. Photo:

4. Relax Your Body and Mind.
As I mentioned before, emotions can manifest
themselves physically: Being anxious can cause aches, pains and muscle
tension—and vice versa. So relaxing your body can help relax
your mind. Most people are unaware of how tense their muscles really are
and how shallow their breathing is.
When you’re in a state of worry, sit down in
a comfortable spot, close your eyes and take 5 minutes to breathe in from your
belly, inhaling through your nose for a slow count to five, then exhaling
through your mouth for a slow count to five. Release the tension in your body
by contracting, then slowly releasing, each and every muscle, starting with
your feet and moving up to the legs, buttocks, arms, hands, fingers, neck and
face. (This can take 5 to 10 minutes.) Keep taking slow, deep breaths, in
through your nose and out through your mouth.
Visual imagery can also help. Imagine the
most peaceful scene you can and try to see it, hear it, smell
it. Maybe it’s being in your backyard on a spring day or at the beach listening
to the waves as they hit the shoreline. Mentally go to your
“happy place” while you breathe in and out for a slow count of four.
Carol found that using visual imagery to relax for 10 minutes every day—
particularly before she spoke to her husband about his situation—helped many of
her worries to lessen. Photo: Thinkstock
When to Get Help
If worrying is stressing you out, consider seeing a
mental health professional. Talking through your concerns with a therapist can
often put them in perspective and help you feel better. In particular,
cognitive behavioral therapy, in which the therapist teaches you how to change
anxious thought patterns, can help in as little as 10 sessions. Check out the
Anxiety Disorders Association of America (ADAA.org) to find a therapist near you. Severe worry (also
known as Generalized Anxiety Disorder or GAD) involves having uncontrollable
anxiety most days and physical symptoms including restlessness, fatigue,
difficulty concentrating, irritability, muscle tension and trouble sleeping for
at least 6 months. It is highly treatable with therapy and medication if
necessary.

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!

THE GREATEST
“SPOIL” OF ALL
The Israelites received
Reparations for their free labor when they left out of Egypt (Exodus 12:35,36, Psalm 105:37). Note also that Reparations
were given to Ezra for the building of GOD’s Temple and for the service of the
House of the LORD GOD of Israel (Ezra 7:12 –21). And it is prophesied
that we will again receive compensation for our free labor and bondage in this modern-day
Egypt (all the lands that took Israelites captive):
“The Lord said,
Verily it shall be well with thy remnant; verily I will cause the enemy to
entreat thee well in the time of evil and in the time of
affliction.” Jeremiah

PERSPECTIVE:
GOD BLESS THE CHILD THAT’S GOD HIS OWN
Back in the Sixties Blacks talked incessantly about
there NOT being any “Negro” Land and rejected this label, all because there is
no such thing as a nation called “Negro”.
Fifty-one years later, Blacks have their heels dug deep in American
society and the likes of it and reap from the bad and the ugly systems in
place, which are every bit as bad as they were in the Sixties. We delude ourselves believing that situations
are better for Blacks in the lands of our captivity, when the truth of the matter
is that the racism and discrimination is greatly camouflaged with schemes,
deceptions, and handshakes and smiles…and all while the poor and middle class suffer
the ever-present status quo. Thus, the
reason I stress that Israelites have alternatives. This is not our land and not the place the
GOD of Israel intended for HIS Covenant People.
Blacks were forcibly taken from the shores of Africa,
forced to live in the lands of the Slave Masters and were forced to adopt new ways,
new names, new religions, new customs, and new systems of governance and
education, all of which sustained throughout the centuries brainwashing and a
lack of self-determination for descendants of Slaves. This captivity of the Children of Israel,
unto this day, has resulted in repression and discrimination with no way out
for them or their progeny.
THAT IS EXCEPT FOR WHAT’S WRITTEN IN
PROPHECY IN THE HEBREW SCRIPTURES…
WHICH IS THE
WORD OF GOD AT THE MOUTH OF HIS PROPHETS!
Is it so hard to believe that certain groups of descendants
of Slaves could be the SEED of the Biblical Israelites? Is it so hard to believe that descendants of
Slaves could really be the apple of GOD’s Eye?
And is it so hard to believe that all we need do to return to our
heritage is to just return to Our GOD of Israel and to HIS Righteous Way of
Life?
“And it
shall come to pass, when all these 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. If any of thine be driven out unto the
outmost parts of heaven, from thence will the LORD thy God gather thee, and
from thence will he fetch thee: And the LORD thy God will bring thee into the
land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it; and he will do
thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers.” Deuteronomy
30:1 – 5
“For the LORD's portion is his people; Jacob is the
lot of his inheritance. He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling
wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of
his eye.” Deuteronomy 32:9,10
“For thus saith the LORD of hosts; After
the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that
toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye.”
Zechariah 2:8
“Thus saith the Lord GOD; When
I shall have gathered the house of Israel from the people among whom they are
scattered, and shall be sanctified in them in the sight of the heathen, then
shall they dwell in their land that I have given to my servant Jacob. And they
shall dwell safely therein, and shall build houses, and plant vineyards; yea,
they shall dwell with confidence, when I have executed judgments upon all those
that despise them round about them; and they shall know that I am the LORD
their God.” Ezekiel 28:25,26
“As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that
he is among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out my sheep, and will
deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and
dark day. And I will bring them out from the people, and gather them from the
countries, and will bring them to their own land, and feed them upon the mountains
of Israel by the rivers, and in all the inhabited places of the country. I will
feed them in a good pasture, and upon the high mountains of Israel shall their
fold be: there shall they lie in a good fold, and in a fat pasture shall they
feed upon the mountains of Israel. I will feed my flock, and I will cause them
to lie down, saith the Lord GOD. I will seek that which was lost, and bring
again that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and
will strengthen that which was sick: but I will destroy the fat and the strong;
I will feed them with judgment.”
Ezekiel 34:12 – 16
“And it shall come to pass, when ye shall say, Wherefore doeth the LORD our God all these things unto us? then shalt thou answer them, Like as ye have forsaken me,
and served strange gods in your land, so shall ye serve strangers in a land
that is not your's. Declare this in the house of Jacob, and publish it in
Judah, saying, Hear now this, O foolish people, and
without understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear
not: Fear ye not me? saith the LORD: will ye not tremble at my presence, which
have placed the sand for the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, that it
cannot pass it: and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not
prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it? But this people hath
a revolting and a rebellious heart; they are revolted and gone. Neither say
they in their heart, Let us now fear the LORD our God, that
giveth rain, both the former and the latter, in his season: he reserveth unto
us the appointed weeks of the harvest. Your iniquities have turned away these
things, and your sins have withholden good things from you.” Jeremiah 5:19 - 25
Thus, doesn’t it make sense to seek reasons for the
predicament and fate upon Black Peoples all over the world and to understand
why we are in the hands of the descendants of the Slave Masters and why we are
unable to establish our own World Order?
Rather than adopt the ways and customs of nations that do not serve any
purpose for the betterment of our people, why not seek the CREATOR GOD
responsible for Blacks being the poor of the Earth and for the Whites being the
rich? I assure you that GOD is behind
our captivity, and that HE has good reason for it.
“They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom
they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not. Of
the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed
thee. And when the LORD saw it, he abhorred them, because of the provoking of
his sons, and of his daughters. And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be: for they are a
very froward generation, children in whom is no faith. They have moved me to
jealousy with that which is not God; they have provoked me to anger with their
vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with those which are not a people; I
will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation. For a fire is kindled in mine
anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with
her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains.
“I said, I
would scatter them into corners, I would make the remembrance of them to cease
from among men:” Deuteronomy
32:17 – 22,26
“Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given unto
another people, and thine eyes shall look, and fail with longing for them all
the day long; and there shall be no might in thine hand. The fruit of thy land,
and all thy labours, shall a nation which thou knowest not eat up; and thou
shalt be only oppressed and crushed alway:”
Deuteronomy 28:32,33
“The stranger that is within thee shall get up above
thee very high; and thou shalt come down very low. He shall lend to thee, and
thou shalt not lend to him: he shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail.
Moreover all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and
overtake thee, till thou be destroyed; because thou
hearkenedst not unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments
and his statutes which he commanded thee:”
Deuteronomy 28:43 - 45
BUT THERE IS
HOPE, AND WE CAN ALL RISE ABOVE OUR TRIBULATIONS…EVEN
THOSE WHO ARE NOT ISRAELITES!
“Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed;
for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will
uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. Behold, all they that were
incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as
nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish. Thou shalt seek them, and
shalt not find them, even them that contended with thee: they that war against
thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought. For I the LORD thy God will
hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee. Fear not,
thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel; I will help thee, saith the LORD, and
thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.”
Isaiah 41:10 – 14
“The LORD hath taken away thy judgments, he hath cast
out thine enemy: the king of Israel, even the LORD, is in the midst of thee:
thou shalt not see evil any more. In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem,
Fear thou not: and to Zion, Let not thine hands be
slack. The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will
rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee
with singing. I will gather them that are sorrowful for the solemn assembly,
who are of thee, to whom the reproach of it was a burden. 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. At that time will I bring you again, even in
the time that I gather you: for I will make you a name and a
praise among all people of the earth, when I turn back your captivity
before your eyes, saith the LORD.”
Zephaniah 3:15 – 20
“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. And he shall set up an ensign
for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together
the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.” Isaiah 11:11,12
“Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves
to the LORD, to serve him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be his
servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold
of my covenant; Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them
joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall
be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer
for all people. The Lord GOD, which gathereth the outcasts of Israel saith, Yet will I gather others to him, beside those
that are gathered unto him.” Isaiah
56:6 – 8
“Thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I
will lift up mine hand to the Gentiles, and set up my standard to the people:
and they shall bring thy sons in their arms, and thy daughters shall be carried
upon their shoulders. And kings shall be thy nursing fathers,
and their queens thy nursing mothers: they shall bow down to thee with their
face toward the earth, and lick up the dust of thy feet; and thou shalt know
that I am the LORD: for they shall not be ashamed that wait for me. ” Isaiah 49:22,23
“…thus saith the LORD, Even the
captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall
be delivered: for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will
save thy children. And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh;
and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as
with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I the LORD am thy Saviour and
thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.”
Isaiah 49:25,26
“The sons also of them that afflicted
thee shall come bending unto thee; and all they that despised thee shall bow
themselves down at the soles of thy feet; and they shall call thee; The city of
the LORD, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel. Whereas thou has
been forsaken and hated, so that no man went through thee, I will make thee an
eternal excellency, a joy of many generations. Thou shalt also suck the milk of
the Gentiles, and shalt suck the breast of kings: and thou shalt know that I
the LORD am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty
One of Jacob.” Isaiah 60:14 – 16
“Thy people also shall be all
righteous: they shall inherit the land for ever, the branch of my planting, the
work of my hands, that I may be glorified. A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I the LORD will
hasten it in his time.” Isaiah 60:21,22
AND
WHO WILL THE CREATOR GOD OF ISRAEL CAUSE TO TAKE US BACK TO OUR HERITAGE? NONE BUT THOSE WHO CARRIED OUR FATHERS INTO
CAPTIVITY!
“For I know their works and their
thoughts: it shall come, that I will gather all nations and tongues; and they
shall come, and see my glory. And I will set a sign among them, and I will send
those that escape of them unto the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that
draw the bow, to Tubal, and Javan, to the isles afar off, that have not heard
my fame, neither have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the
Gentiles. And they shall bring all your
brethren for an offering unto the LORD out of all nations upon horses, and
in chariots, and in litters, and upon mules, and upon swift beasts, to my holy
mountain Jerusalem, saith the LORD, as the children of Israel bring an offering
in a clean vessel into the house of the LORD. And I will also take of them for
priests and for Levites, saith the LORD. For as the new heavens and the new
earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your
seed and your name remain. And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to
another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all
flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD.” Isaiah 66:18 - 23
Painfully and sadly we do not learn of
this knowledge in the “New Testament”.
But we can learn about what “Thus
Saith the LORD” and HIS WORD and
read about HIS interaction with HIS Covenant People, the Children of Israel, in
the “Old Testament”, which by the way is replete with prophecy.
In the “New Testament” we learn about
Christianity, a newly formed religion, NOT endorsed by the CREATOR,
that spread around the world at the time of the Roman Era. This occurred long after the GOD of Israel
cast HIS People from the Land of Israel because they had rejected HIM and rejected
HIS Laws, Statutes, and Judgments. And
it should be noted that the establishment of this Christian religion was
prophecy just as was the Slave Trade of Blacks out of Africa.
“And
the LORD shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth
even unto the other; and there thou shalt serve other gods, which neither thou
nor thy fathers have known, even wood and stone.”
Deuteronomy 28:64
THE
CREATOR GOD’s WAYS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS ARE AS OLD AS THE CREATION OF MAN!
Few people know that when the CREATOR
GOD formed the Heavens and the Earth HE also CREATED HIS Ways of Righteousness
for mankind to live and do. Makes sense
for people to learn how to live and please GOD upon their Creation, RIGHT? Do the research! The CREATOR Judged HIS Earth with a deadly
FLOOD because “The wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every
imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually”.
My dear Sister Tanya recently said in
favor of GOD’s Judgment upon the wicked:
“Why would GOD Judge us if we don’t know what we are supposed to be
doing?” She is spot on, for it is wisdom
to know that the CEATOR GOD fairly and justly provided all mankind with Righteousness,
but they flatly refused to live it.
Noah
knew about the CREATOR’s Righteous WALK OF LIFE for he “walked with GOD” and
“found grace in the eyes of the LORD”, and GOD saw Noah “righteous before me in
this generation”. And, as it is also written,
Abraham “obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and
my laws”. There is nothing new about the GOD of Israel
and HIS Walk of Life. It has always
existed.
“Thus
saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where
is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But
they said, We will not walk therein.”
Jeremiah 6:16
“O that there were such an heart in
them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it
might be well with them, and with their children for ever!” Deuteronomy 5:32
“But after they had rest, they did
evil again before thee: therefore leftest thou them in the land 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.” Nehemiah 9:28,29
Hence,
we have proof that GOD’s Ways of Righteousness have always existed, and people have just preferred to
ignore them for worshipping as they choose.
And the inventors of the Christian religion were not the exception.
Thus, it is so very important to
realize that the Ways of Righteousness that GOD had shown to mankind at the
time of CREATION are the same Ways of Righteousness HE had shown to Noah,
Abraham, the Patriarch of the Children of Israel, and
the Israelites who wandered in the Wilderness for forty years. THINK! What sense would it make for the CREATOR GOD
to change that which ONLY HE can make a “Perfect” Path of Righteousness for
people to walk? As a matter of fact,
this same LAW of Righteousness will be a major function of GOD’s New World
Order!
“For what nation is there so great,
who hath God so nigh unto them, as the LORD our God is in all things that we
call upon him for? And what nation is
there so great, that hath statutes and judgments so
righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?” Deuteronomy 4:7,8
“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
“With my soul have I desired thee in
the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the
inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.” Isaiah 26:9
Yes, so true… when GOD’s judgments are
in the earth people will learn RIGHTEOUSNESS.
But people will never know GOD’s RIGHTEOUSNESS as long as they follow
the teachings of the “New Testament’.
Therefore, let the wise seek the ONE True and Living GOD, seek HIS Ways,
and pour out their hearts to HIM!!!
Today, two billion people worship the
Christian man-god, JC, and call out his name, not knowing that this makes the
CREATOR GOD extremely JEALOUS and filled with WRATH! Of a truth, the Most High CREATOR GOD did send “saviours”, but not to all
peoples of the world – ONLY TO THE
CHILDREN OF ISRAEL, HIS COVENANT PEOPLE!
“You
only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish
you for all your iniquities.” Amos 3:2
“…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 land 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;” Nehemiah 9:27,28
This
passage cannot be about JC, the man-god, for since his so-called “Coming”, all
Twelve Tribes of Israel unto this day are still in the hands of their enemies,
proving that JC is not the “savior” that Nehemiah wrote about.
“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. Nevertheless for thy great mercies'
sake thou didst not utterly consume them, nor forsake them; for thou art a
gracious and merciful God.”
Nehemiah 9:29 – 31
“And
ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.
And I will be found of you, saith the LORD: and I will turn away your
captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places
whither I have driven you, saith the LORD; and I will bring you again into the
place whence I caused you to be carried away captive.”
Jeremiah 29:13,14
“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
“And
ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. And I will be found of you, saith the
LORD: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the
nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the LORD; and
I will bring you again into the place whence I caused you to be carried away
captive.” Jeremiah 29:13,14
The Truth of
the matter is that we should all want to be on the SIDE OF THE CREATOR GOD and
to worship in ways that HE has ordained so that we may please HIM. No one should want to worship a god that
cannot save.
“Assemble yourselves and
come; draw near together, ye that are escaped of the nations: they have no knowledge that set up
the wood of their graven image, and pray unto a god that cannot save.”
Isaiah 45:20
THE
CREATOR GOD WITH US AND NOT AGAINST US, WE CAN MAKE HIS EARTH A BETTER PLACE IF
WE CHOOSE TO WORSHIP HIM AND FOLLOW HIS WAYS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS! FOR ONLY THEN WILL HE BE WITH US AND PROSPER
OUR WAY!
Wouldn’t it be better to reap the
benefits of the CREATOR GOD and TRUST IN HIM and in HIS Ways of Righteousness
for our FREEDOM, rather than to suffer endlessly as a minority in the countries
that took us into Slavery and brainwashed us to its ways of thinking and its customs
of pagan worship just so that we remain in DARKNESS?
Finally, please understand and realize
that if you want to hold a people as Slaves, the last thing you do is show them
how to find the True and Living GOD.
Our forebears who were forced into Slavery were not Christians upon
entering into captivity. They were
enticed to worship a man-god who did not save them and unto this day has not
saved them. Therefore, it is time for us
to wake up out of this gross darkness and learn the GOD’s Truth or continue on
this road leading to nowhere in another man’s land.
GOD BLESS THE
CHILD THAT’S GOT HIS OWN – HIS OWN LAND AND MEANS OF SELF-DETERMINATION!
AND GOD BLESS THE CHILD WHO KNOWS FROM
WHENCE IT ALL COMETH!!!

land, and shall inherit my holy mountain;”

A PRAYER EXTENDED OUT OF KING SOLOMON’S PRAYER FOR
ISRAELITES WHO LIVE TODAY AND WHO ARE CAPTIVES IN GENTILE LANDS:
Dear Father
of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, GOD and KING of this Universe, and CREATOR of ALL
things,
We need your help – a spark
to generate greater interest in YOU, your LAW, and a desire to return. YOU cannot imagine the Messianics that are on
the Internet.
I’m sure you look down at
your People and wonder what’s wrong with them that they just can’t worship YOU
and come together under your LAW, especially after all that has happened to
us. I wonder, also, Father. We know your Truth and how YOU are so willing
to give us your HELP, yet we still don’t care to be a League and ONE People
with YOU in harmony. Why, Father? Is it your HAND that is keeping us
apart? And are you again separating and calling
for Israelites to “Come on the LORD’s Side”, as YOU did in the Wilderness? If so, Father, make your intentions known, so
that those of us who really and truly FEAR YOU will stop playing games and get
serious under the umbrella of your LAW in Righteousness. It is too late for us to not be without a
PLAN that will bring us closer to YOU.
Guide us, Father, and show us your HAND. As you know, from our wicked past, that
always worked – not for long, but even for just a short while, it might be
helpful. Help us, Father, and make us
ONE Stick in your HAND!
***
This world
of Peoples and Nations have
been deceived, and yes it is greatly because of the sins, transgressions, and
disobedience of your Chosen People, the Children of Israel. YOU established our fathers with love in the
Land YOU promised them. YOU kept your
every WORD. The Children of Israel got
the Land of Canaan and possessed it, and YOU even gave them a king, when in
fact, YOU were (and still are) their KING.
With your Mighty HAND YOU kept them safe from their enemies but, at the
same time, punished them at the hands of their enemies when they were disobedient
to your Book of the Law and when they corrupted themselves with worship of
false gods. But because YOU are a
Merciful GOD for not utterly destroying us in the Wilderness and for not
keeping us in utter darkness in this GREAT CAPTIVITY throughout the world, YOU
have clearly forgiven us AGAIN, and have heard our cries, just as you forgave
and considered the prayers of our forefathers.
Now, it has been well over
2,000 years since YOU scattered the Israelites and since YOU left to return to
your Place and leave us in the hands of our enemies.
Thus, Father, YOU know how
the heathens have been heartlessly ruling over us and keeping us repressed and
without any power and without self-determination. Your Covenant People, the Children of Israel,
are NOT SAVED – not the People and not the Land, which Europeans have usurped
as their own and control with much cruelty and not at all according to your
Book of the Law.
Father, in the past, you
have removed all peoples from your Land who have refused to live according to
your Ways of Righteousness, so why then do you allow these Europeans to stay in
your Land? Neither do they Fear YOU to
promote your Laws, Statutes and Judgments, but rather they boast of their own
laws that they call “Judaism”. And they
even block your People who have returned to you from the Land that YOU gave to
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. We are
Witnesses and the Canaanites are Witnesses, as well that heathenish people and
their heathenish ways will have no place in your Holy Land. When, Father will YOU take action against
those who falsely claim your Land?
Israelites have returned to
YOU, Father, not all, because YOU did say that only a Remnant will return. However, some of us fall asleep calling upon
your Holy Name and praying daily and nightly for your compassion that YOU show
your Mighty HAND for us, just as YOU did for our forefathers down in
Egypt. If for but ten Israelites who
seek YOU in Truth, Father of Abraham, return to us, help us, and let us live to
show forth your PRAISE and spread your Righteous LAW. Return to us, Father, because we have
returned to YOU. We are the “Dry Bones”
YOU have awakened to life – your LAWS of Truth and Righteousness.
Hear us, Father,
The world mourns, and it is
not at rest. Everything evil and
everything wicked are destroying your planet Earth: sickness, war, violence, deaths and murder, a
plethora of man-made religions, corruption, and all manner of wickedness rule. Father, we live in days 100
times worse than the days of Sodom and Gomorrah, and that speaks volumes, for
YOU know all that takes place in the open and done in secret. Iniquity rules, Father, because the Peoples
and Nations of today do not know YOU to FEAR YOU – not even your Covenant
People, the SEED of Jacob, for as YOU know too many Israelites yet worship
other gods, even the gods of the heathen.
YOU said that because of the
sins of the Children of Israel that YOU would cause them to worship all the
false gods they desire. YOU told Israel
to see if the gods they worship would help and save them. Well, these gods have neither helped nor
saved your People and no one else, either.
Israelites are not saved, and there is Hell on your Earth. None of the hundreds of religions and their
gods have been helpful or have done anything to change
the evil and wickedness that prevails throughout the world. Only YOU, Father of Abraham, can change the
sin and blasphemous acts that exist in the hearts of today’s peoples. Only YOU, Father, can establish your Truth
and your Righteousness in place of what now destroys and deceives the world of
peoples who have no knowledge of YOU – the ONE True and Living GOD.
Hear ME, My GOD and My
SAVIOR of Israel; hear me for we are in great distress.
How will people know to seek
YOU, Father, if YOU do not remove the veil from off hidden Truths? How can people find YOU, if YOU keep your
Ways of Righteousness hidden, and YOU allow false worship to rule instead of
your Truth? How can people’s eyes be
opened, if YOU do not cause them to realize that their ways are really the ways
of chaos and assured death? How can
people be saved, if evil, powerful rulers perpetuate their world orders that
sustain confusion, division, isolation, turmoil, and mayhem, even with
involvement of their religions? How can
Israel be saved, if YOU do not once again show your POWER and your Right HAND
to Deliver YOUR People out of captivity and out of the lands of the enemy? How will your Covenant People learn that the
images and crosses around their necks are the works of men who wrote the “New
Testament” specifically because they were against your LAWS and against your
Righteous Judgments? How will they know
if YOU will not come forth to show them that what they believe is not of your
making? Because of Israel’s evils and
wickedness, your world suffers, Father, and now, once again ONLY your POWERS,
your SIGNS, and your WONDERS will cause Israelites and all mankind to FEAR YOU
in order that you will be able to change this madness into your Ways of
Righteousness.
Therefore, RETURN, Father,
Most High GOD of this Universe, RETURN to your PLACE and re-establish your
Covenant People for your Great Name’s Sake, and for your PRAISE and GLORY, make
haste. Reveal to the world that YOU
ALONE are the ONE true and Living GOD, and that there is none else, for indeed,
YOU speak of none other for YOU have said that YOU are a “JEALOUS GOD”.
Make haste, Father, and
remember your PROMISES to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob to cause their SEED to
inherit the Land of Canaan. And take us
into the Wilderness, as YOU have said at the mouth of your Prophets, in order
that we learn your LAWS and that YOU put them in our hearts so that we NEVER
TURN FROM YOU, EVER AGAIN!
Make haste, Father, so that
you will once again live in the midst of your People, the Children of Israel.
Hear my prayer,
O GOD of Israel, for it is in YOU that I trust with all my whole heart and
soul.
As YOU said, “Come now, and
let us reason together…though your sins be as scarlet,
they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be
as wool.” The Remnant awaits YOU,
Heavenly GOD of Israel.
Be with us, Father, in the
coming months, for some of us are preparing a PLAN to go in the midst of the
rulers of this world to seek our FREEDOM out of this captivity. It is our prayer that YOU will be with us,
LORD GOD of Jacob, just as YOU were with our forebears when YOU made yourself
known to the Egyptians, so that they would let Israel go out of that House of
Bondage.
Show us and the world,
Heavenly Father, that your Heart is turned toward your People, Israel, AGAIN
and that YOU will again cause our captors to know that our lives and theirs, as
well are in your HANDS and that YOU still live for your Covenant People, the
SEED of the Biblical Israelites to save us out of their captivity.
Show your People, Israel,
that YOU are indeed in accord with this Plan, and that YOU will surely save us
out of this captivity and AGAIN make a GREAT and AWESOME NAME for yourself, so
that all mankind will know to FEAR YOU AND KEEP YOUR WAYS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS!
For a long time, Father, YOU
have been an unknown and without PRAISE and GLORY, but now, that can all be
changed. Now, GOD of Abraham, be EXALTED
and be MAGNIFIED, and soon, after we come out of the Wilderness, let the Nation
of Israel get the attention of the world with trumpets as we boast of your
GREATNESS and your Ways of RIGHTEOUSNESS from your Holy City Jerusalem.
Let it happen, O Shepherd of
Israel, let it happen for your Holy Name’s Sake. If not, then, Father, what will YOU do unto
your great name?
“…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.”
Yes, Father, your Holy Name
is ours, too, for we are named by YOU.
Save us, O GOD of our SALVATION, and show the world once again that the
GOD of Israel yet lives and is taking back HIS Universe, HIS Land, and HIS Holy
City, Jerusalem, and that YOU will be Exalted above all gods upon this Earth.
Make haste, Father of
Abraham, and let it happen – make it happen now for your Holy Name’s Sake and
for your Righteousness’ Sake!

A CONVERSATION BETWEEN
THE “HEATHEN” AND THE “DRY BONES”
“…the children rebelled against me: they walked not in
my statutes,
neither kept my judgments to do them, which if a man do, he shall even
live in them;
they
polluted my sabbaths: then I said, I would pour out my fury upon them,
to
accomplish my anger against them in the wilderness.
Nevertheless I withdrew mine hand, and wrought for my
name's sake,
that
it should not be polluted in the sight of the heathen, in whose sight
I brought them forth. I lifted up mine hand unto them
also in the wilderness,
that
I would scatter them among the heathen, and disperse them through the
countries; Because they had not executed my judgments, but had despised my
statutes,
and
had polluted my sabbaths, and their eyes were after their fathers' idols.”
Ezekiel 20:21 - 24
“And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel
went into captivity for their iniquity: because they trespassed against me,
therefore hid I my face from them,
and
gave them into the hand of their enemies: so fell they all by the sword.”
Ezekiel 39:23
“The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they
made:
in
the net which they hid is their own foot taken.
The LORD is known by the judgment which
he executeth:
the
wicked is snared in the work of his own hands.”
Psalm 9:15,16
DRY BONES: My man, what the heck you doing up in that
burnt up tree? With the weather like it
is, you won’t last too long up there, as the wind will get you, if the flood
doesn’t.
THE HEATHEN: I don’t have a boat like you, my friend. It’s thanks to your GOD for these hard times
that I now have neither house nor car, and much less a boat. First, my house burnt to the ground, and now,
my car is washed away by this flood.
DRY BONES: What do you mean by it’s thanks to my GOD for
your hard times?
THE HEATHEN: For you to be GOD’s Chosen, you don’t know
too much about HIM and HIS Powers. Let
me explain something to you. The CREATOR
is the ONE responsible for all this havoc and devastation across the nation and
the world.
DRY BONES: What the Hell you talking about? JC ain’t never done all
this to nobody. He is a God of
love, and he ain’t never failed me.
THE HEATHEN: Yeah, that’s what they all say. You people are so pitiful that your ignorance
amazes me. Look at who you are calling
GOD. Your JC was beat up and nailed to a
cross, and you are calling this helpless coward a GOD. Give me a break. If you knew anything at all about the CREATOR
GOD of the “Old Testament”, you would know that HE would never, ever let any
man HE Created overpower HIM. If HE did that,
HE would prove one thing. HE would prove
that HE is not a GOD, just as JC has proved that he is no GOD. How can you people be so gullible to actually
believe that GOD would allow a man that HE Created to be equal to HIM?
Just like your GOD Created the Heavens and the Earth,
well, we created your Christian doctrines, my friend, with all the idols,
images, and statues to boot. And that
cross hanging on your walls and around your necks couldn’t be more pagan. And believe it or not, there are about sixteen
other so-called saviours who were born of a virgin before the invention of
JC. Hey, don’t look so surprised. That’s just another reason why I really can’t
understand why you all can’t figure it all out.
GOD’s WORD, which was written first, is right there with our lies. All you have to do is look and read
carefully, and then you can discern right from wrong simply by giving
precedence to GOD’s WORD. Another thing
you should know is that GOD’s LAW is “Perfect” and without flaws. Under these circumstances, why would HE
change it, and how can anything man write be better
than GOD’s written Ways of Righteousness?
As GOD Commanded, no one can add to HIS LAW or take from it. You all need to understand that we changed
all GOD’s Ordinances, and you people ate it all up without questioning
anything. But this is something we had
to do in order to keep you in the dark and in captivity and fulfill
prophecy. GOD did not call you “Dry
Bones” for naught. You strengthen the
hands of evildoers, you follow people to sin, and, you will believe
anything. It’s unreal!
JC hasn’t done a thing for you people, and yet you
keep believing in him and praying to him and spending your beautiful Sundays
stuck in a church for three or four hours listening to crap. You can be at home with your families and
watching baseball and resting up for Monday’s 9 to 5 or other shifts you are
compelled to work in this Gentile society.
Another thing, let me tell you something. This word “Sunday”, the first day of the
week, is a pagan name, just like all the other names we gave to the seven days
of the week. Sunday is my day. GOD’s Day is the Seventh Day of the week,
which we call Saturday, and HE made it holy and a “Sign” between HIM and HIS
People, Israel. It’s been like that ever
since your people came out of Egypt and inhabited the land of Israel. The CREATOR has proven to you all a
hundredfold that HE loves you, and that HE is your GOD. But you dumb people preferred to choose your
own paths and your own false gods. So,
now look where it’s gotten you - in the hands of the heathen to serve us.
Your GOD shows you HIS WORKS, and you completely
ignore HIM and them for belief in a fraud.
If JC were all that love and a bag of chips, would he be allowing all
these deaths and destruction to happen?
Wake up and see what’s really happening in your lives!
DRY BONES: Where are you getting all this stuff from?
THE HEATHEN: I know for a fact that you all don’t like to
read. First, we prevented your people
from reading, and then when we allowed it, you left it up to your preachers to
read to you. And they mostly read what’s
in the “New Testament”, the book that we created. It’s so strange how it never crossed your
minds to wonder about all these different Christian religions. Do your homework, man. The Catholic and protestant religions, the
Baptist and Lutheran religions, to name a few, were all invented by the
heathen. And we made them all appealing
just so you all can take your pick. Not
only that, but we also established schools for teaching our religions and how
to spread them throughout the world.
Now, we have missionaries and preachers all over the world, and they are
spreading our gospel, which has nothing to do with your GOD, or what HE Commanded for a perfect and righteous way of life. Trust me, you people
don’t know beans about the ONE True and Living GOD!
Thus, don’t believe the hype about dying and going to
GOD’s Heaven, either. Why would the
CREATOR GOD want evil and wicked people up in HIS Heaven to defile it? You guys kill me believing that your mommas
and your poppas all smile down on you from GOD’s Heaven. Y’all can’t be serious. You people really should be ashamed of
yourselves for believing such nonsense.
The CREATOR never said anything about dying and going to Heaven. It’s written that the Israelites who died
were always gathered unto their (dead) fathers.
Also, nowhere in the “Old Testament” is it written
where GOD sent HIS Prophets to learn how to do HIS WORK, i.e., to learn how to
prophesy. GOD simply called only upon
men of Israelite pedigree, mind you, and HE made them HIS Prophets,
period, and out of fear of HIM, they did as HE Commanded. And I’ll bet you did not know that only
Israelites can be GOD’s Ministers, Prophets, and Kings of Israel and, more
importantly, teachers of Israelites (Deuteronomy 18:15-18,20-22).
DRY BONES: Well, you’ve made it plain enough, but why
didn’t you all teach GOD’s WORD instead of your own, since you know so much
about GOD and fearing HIM to do HIS Will?
THE HEATHEN: Why would we teach you GOD’s WORD? As long as you people are in darkness and
without GOD’s Truth, it would be impossible to know what it takes to turn to
HIM. As long as we have you calling upon
JC, excuse the expression, you are barking up the wrong tree. Thus, you cannot call upon the True GOD to
deliver you out of our hands. And
anyway, we needed you to build cities and make us the wealthiest people in the
world. Can you imagine what free labor
did for us? Actually, you can’t. But because of the Slave Trade, we became the
richest people in the world.
Nevertheless, by your forebears defying your GOD of Israel, you brought
all this captivity upon yourselves.
DRY BONES: You keep saying stuff that doesn’t make any
sense. Why would we bring all this
suffering upon ourselves?
THE HEATHEN: You all are really the epitome of
ignorance. I can’t believe that you have
not been curious enough to seek GOD’s WORD, and that you cannot see GOD’s HAND
in all that has happened to you.
Slavery, for one, should be an extreme eye opener. Literally, Blacks all over the world are the
underdogs and have no control over this world.
When GOD put you all in our hands, HE meant for you all to suffer untold
afflictions, which you have. We are the
powers-that-be, and we dictate which nations will be prosperous and which ones
we will exploit and will cause to fail.
You don’t see the Rulers of this world looking to JC for our welfare
because we know this saviour is sheer fabrication. We have the bomb and military might. These are our gods and our defenders. The
peoples of the Caribbean nations and Central America and Africa are the poorest
in the world. We didn’t make these
peoples Third-World nations for naught.
These peoples were kept uneducated and in squalor, so that they don’t
rise up to compete with us. Don’t be
stupid all your life. Our powers did not
come by chance, and believe me, we White folks are not that smart! We had help in getting atop this world, and
it was all because you all were too dumb to obey your CREATOR GOD that did
everything for you and only wanted in return for you to make HIM your GOD and
live by HIS Laws of Righteousness. But
these were not your desires.
Notwithstanding, we learned the game, and we played it well up until now.
DRY BONES: But again, I ask you, how did we, Blacks,
bring all this upon ourselves? And what
do you mean that we cannot call upon our GOD?
We believe in JC and in GOD. They
are One and the same!
THE HEATHEN: I’m telling you the GOD’s Truth,
and you still don’t understand. Okay,
let me spell it all out to you. Surely
you have heard of the Children of Israel in the “Old Testament”. Well, they are GOD’s Chosen People. HE chose them above all the nations of the
Earth to be HIS special people and HE ALONE their GOD. Whether you believe this or not, it really
doesn’t matter, but this is the Truth.
We know this, and this is one of the main reasons we wrote the “New
Testament”, which is to convert all peoples to belief in a man – this man, JC,
who is nothing but the figment of our imaginations. He does not exist, and he is no more the son
of God and savior than I am. Actually,
he is the biggest joke going, and we have two billion people worshipping this
man for real. And your GOD let us get
away with it all because you all forsook HIM.
At the time of the Greeks, we realized that if the True GOD had a Chosen
People, that we needed to have a God that would make us feel special, too, and
of course he must be a God of love. Whah
lah, we invented JC and a religion to make people believe in him and believe
that he is a God of love to counter your “Old Testament” GOD that did not
tolerate evil and wickedness and that punished people for their sins. And man o man, did it ever work!
DRY BONES: You keep saying that this CREATOR GOD is my
GOD, and if so, why would HE let you get away with making up a false religion
and putting my people in Slavery?
THE HEATHEN: Pay attention, man! THINK for once in your life. Think about what I am telling you, and try to
look at the whole picture. Listen; your
people are GOD’s Chosen, but HE cursed you all into our hands because you would
not live according to HIS Ways of Righteousness. GOD delivered you out of Egypt, fought your
enemies, and gave you the Land of Canaan and the surrounding lands. HE told your forefathers that if they didn’t
live and do HIS Book of the Law that HE would scatter them into the four
corners of the Earth to serve their enemies.
Your forefathers were good and stupid.
They did not listen, and hence, your people got put into our hands for
punishment. Because of all your
abominations against your GOD, HE even caused your name, i.e., the name of
Israel to cease among men, enabling Gentiles to take your name and your
land. The nations around the world don’t
know that you all are the true descendants of the Children of Israel. None of this is a secret, and that’s what I
can’t understand. All I am telling you is in the “Old Testament” – the Slave Trade and even what
you people need to do to really be saved out of this captivity. And you should know that you folks delude
yourselves when you believe that JC has saved you. Nothing could be further from the truth. You are in our hands, and we control
you. See? And you are in our lands following our
systems and worshipping our gods, all because of your rebellion against your
GOD.
Another thing.
There is but ONE GOD, my friend.
HE is a “Jealous GOD” by HIS own admission. So, please, wake up and smell the coffee. The First Commandment makes that perfectly
clear, and if you have another god before HIM, you have to understand that you
are committing one of the worst abominations man can commit against the True
CREATOR. Moreover, the CREATOR GOD said,
HE is ”a just God and a saviour; there is none beside
me." And, "Is there a God
beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not
any." He also said, "Thou
shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous
God:". So,
JC cannot be GOD! Get it? Secondly, the GOD of the “Old Testament”
never gave HIS People, the Children of Israel any reason to believe in JC. The GOD of Israel never mentioned JC or
introduced him to the Israelite nation, or used him for any purpose. IF there were any truth to JC, GOD could have
used him to bring the Israelites out of Egypt, but HE used Moses. And ironically in the very last book of the
“Old Testament” - Malachi - the CREATOR GOD says to “Remember ye the law of Moses
my servant,” and “Behold, I will send you
Elijah the prophet…” – NOT JC. Hey, it’s in there. You don’t have to take my word for it. Go read it for yourself.
DRY BONES: You seem to know what you are talking about,
so what might we do to be saved out of this captivity?
THE HEATHEN: Turn to your GOD, HELLO! Only HE can help you. HE caused all this tribulation because of
your sins against HIM. Your people
forsook HIM and HIS Paths of Righteousness, and being here in our land, you have paid the consequences, as well as fulfilled
Biblical prophecy. Oh yeah, stay out of
the “New Testament”. That is my book,
and it cannot serve any purpose for you – not any whatsoever. Anyway, it, too, will be destroyed.
DRY BONES: If what you say is true, then why are you
telling me all this? GOD will take your
power from over us if we return to HIM.
That much I do understand.
THE HEATHEN: I am not stupid. I know what I am up against, and I know when
my time is up. All the turmoil taking
place upon this Earth: the wars,
Earthquakes, fires, floods, unrest, sadness, and despair among the
powers-that-be is taking its toll on us. This is of chief embarrassment to us right
now. I can’t believe how idiotic the US
government officials are behaving. They
must feel that the end is near, as well, and are doing what they think will
prolong their days in power. But I know
better. My friend, you would be wise to
understand that it is obvious that your GOD is listening to HIS People who are
pouring out their hearts to HIM for deliverance. And you would be wise to follow their lead.
DRY BONES: Well, where are they?
THE HEATHEN: Are you kidding me? They are all over the Internet. They are all about returning to the CREATOR
GOD and keeping HIS LAW, which is what your forefathers should have done when
they inhabited the Land in the first place.
DRY BONES: We might be in a Flood, but for me, this has
been a good day. You have given me a lot
to think about. By the way, would you
like to come down from that tree? I can
row you to wherever you’d like to go.
That’s the least I can do for all that you have told me about my GOD and
my people.
THE HEATHEN: Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you that all Blacks
are not Israelites. However, the CREATOR GOD knows who is of the SEED of Jacob
and who isn’t, no matter the circumstances, if you know what I mean. And your GOD calls HIMSELF the GOD of
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and it is ONLY to HIM that you people should
pray. Just so you will know, GOD changed
Jacob’s name to Israel, and he had twelve sons who make up the Children of
Israel.
DRY BONES: You may as well explain that, too. What do you mean?
THE HEATHEN: Look you have to do some serious reading of
GOD’s WORD for yourself and learn about HIS interaction with HIS People, the
Twelve Tribes of Jacob. And do realize that you cannot find “Thus Saith the
LORD” at all in the “New Testament” because none of the “New Testament” writers
were prophets. Makes sense, right? However, it is found in thousands of places
in the “Old Testament”. As you read, you will be better informed. In addition to reading the books wherein is
written the WORD of GOD, research the people who now occupy and control GOD’s
Land.
DRY BONES: You mean the Palestinians?
THE HEATHEN: They occupy GOD’s Land, too, but they have
not usurped the name of GOD’s Chosen People, as have the Israelis, who also
have to pay consequences for this deception.
You see, they have also played a big part in keeping GOD’s
Chosen/Covenant People in darkness with their Talmudic teachings that are
contrived by so-called Rabbis straight out of European ideology, which so
happens to be far removed from GOD’s Book of the Law - the first five books of
the “Old Testament”. Also, they are
Europeans and the Mother of all Slavers.
They did their homework and took your identity and even changed GOD’s
Ordinances to make sure that you be deceived if you convert to their
religion. My friend, you didn’t have a
chance in Hell to make it or be accepted in this world – not even if you called
yourself Doo-doo, a common nickname for David.
DRY BONES: WOW, I do have a lot to learn.
THE HEATHEN: You’ve got that right! And it behooves you to start with Leviticus
26th, and Deuteronomy 4th and 28th Chapters, Deuteronomy
30:1 – 5, King Solomon’s Prayer in I Kings 8th Chapter, and Isaiah
11:11,12, for these passages will give you understanding and hope for a real
change in the lives of your people.
After you read them, you will know for sure what the CREATOR GOD
requires of all of you.
DRY BONES: Tell me something. By being so helpful, what do you hope to gain
for all this information you have shared with me?
THE HEATHEN: I am sitting up here in this burnt up tree
thinking hard about turning to your GOD, and that, too, is prophesied, so what
better time than now for me to fulfill GOD’s WORD? Plus I need to do some serious soul
searching. The atrocities we have
committed against Black and Hispanic humanity are unconscionable, and we are
now learning daily that these acts against this country and the world are not Mother
Nature, but are the HAND of GOD against the heathen for all the evils we
have done to HIS People. GOD is also
against all people who continue to defy HIM.
We will all pay, and we will pay dearly for all our horrific acts we
have committed, exactly as GOD’s Prophet has said. Now I know for sure that all nations that
took GOD’s People into captivity will be destroyed. That destruction has already begun. There’s no question that the plagues and
wonders GOD brought down upon Egypt will pale in comparison to what is
prophesied for the countries that have taken HIS people into captivity. It is time for us to let you people go to
serve your GOD and with restitution and, yes, compensation for all your pain
and suffering and free labor. And maybe,
just maybe by telling you the GOD’s Truth, the CREATOR GOD might have mercy on
me. For now, I will do what’s in my
power to return you all to your rightful place, as that, too, is also written for us to do.
DRY BONES: Sounds like a plan. So do you want a ride or not?
THE HEATHEN: I’ll be all right. You just find your place in your GOD’s Plan,
so that HE will take back HIS Universe, HIS Holy Land, HIS Holy City,
Jerusalem, and HIS Chosen ones and establish HIS Peace upon this Earth before
we be all dead men. As Pharaoh’s
servants said to him, “Let the men go, that they may serve the LORD their
God: knowest thou not yet that Egypt is destroyed?” Listen to the different ones on the talk
shows, and you will hear this all the time.
The US is finished, and its people can see the writing on the wall,
as it is written in the Book of Daniel.
Oh, by the way, the Book of Daniel is as fraudulent as is the “New
Testament”, but the essence behind writing on the wall rings true. The CREATOR GOD’s Angels never told the
Israelites their names because they are secret.
But the “New Testament” and the Book of Daniel profess to know
them. Yeah, right! And nothing in the Book of Daniel rings true. The GOD of Israel told the Israelites to
build houses, take wives, make babies, and seek the peace of Babylon. Of a truth, the Israelites had so much fun in
Babylon and were so prosperous, that they refused to return to their homeland
after their seventy-year captivity. The
Book of Daniel tells a totally different story.
Israelites thrown in the lion’s den and in a fiery furnace. Where the heck did Daniel get that from? He got it from us. We made that up, too.
DRY BONES: You have made me more curious about the Bible
than I have ever been before in my life, and now I am going to do some serious
research to seek my GOD and yes, pray that HE will reveal HIMSELF to be the ONE
True GOD and put HIS Ways of Righteousness before me, so that I will find grace
with HIM just as Noah did. See, I do
know a little about the “Old Testament”.
THE HEATHEN: Yes, you do, but that is not enough, and you
only have a short while to learn it all.
So go in peace and pray to your GOD of Israel, and forget about JC!
DRY BONES: JC?
Who is that?

“And 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
“Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you,
neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of
the LORD your God which I command you.”
Deuteronomy 4:2
“When thou shalt beget children, and children's
children, and ye shall have remained long in the land, and shall corrupt yourselves,
and make a graven image, or the likeness of any thing, and shall do evil in the
sight of the LORD thy God, to provoke him to anger: I call heaven and earth to
witness against you this day, that ye shall soon utterly perish from off the
land whereunto ye go over Jordan to possess it; ye shall not prolong your days
upon it, but shall utterly be destroyed. And the LORD shall scatter you among
the nations, and ye shall be left few in number among the heathen, whither the
LORD shall lead you. And there ye shall serve gods, the work of men's hands,
wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell. 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 4:25 - 31
“For so it was, that the children of Israel had sinned
against the LORD their God, which had brought them up out of the land of Egypt,
from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and had feared other gods, And
walked in the statutes of the heathen, whom the LORD cast out from before the
children of Israel, and of the kings of Israel, which they had made. And the
children of Israel did secretly those things that were not right against the
LORD their God, and they built them high places in all their cities, from the
tower of the watchmen to the fenced city. And they set them up images and
groves in every high hill, and under every green tree: And there they burnt
incense in all the high places, as did the heathen whom the LORD carried away
before them; and wrought wicked things to provoke the LORD to anger: For they
served idols, whereof the LORD had said unto them, Ye shall not do this thing.
Yet the LORD testified against Israel, and against Judah, by all the prophets,
and by all the seers, saying, Turn ye from your evil ways, and keep my
commandments and my statutes, according to all the law which I commanded your
fathers, and which I sent to you by my servants the prophets. Notwithstanding
they would not hear, but hardened their necks, like to the neck of their
fathers, that did not believe in the LORD their God. And they rejected his
statutes, and his covenant that he made with their fathers, and his testimonies
which he testified against them; and they followed vanity, and became vain, and
went after the heathen that were round about them, concerning whom the LORD had
charged them, that they should not do like them. And they left all the
commandments of the LORD their God, and made them molten images, even two
calves, and made a grove, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served
Baal.” II Kings 17:7 – 16
“But the LORD, who brought you up out of the land of
Egypt with great power and a stretched out arm, him shall ye fear, and him
shall ye worship, and to him shall ye do sacrifice. And the statutes, and the
ordinances, and the law, and the commandment, which he wrote for you, ye shall
observe to do for evermore; and ye shall not fear other gods. And the covenant
that I have made with you ye shall not forget; neither shall ye fear other
gods. But the LORD your God ye shall fear; and he shall deliver you out of the
hand of all your enemies.” II Kings
17:36 – 39
“The LORD said, Verily it shall be well with thy
remnant; verily I will cause the enemy to entreat thee well in the time of evil
and in the time of affliction.”
Jeremiah 15:11
“Seek
ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: Let the
wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him
return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he
will abundantly pardon.” Isaiah 55:5,6
“The LORD liveth, that brought up the children of
Israel from the land of the north, and from all the lands whither he had driven
them: and I will bring them again into their land that I gave unto their
fathers.” Jeremiah 16:14,15
“Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD,
that they shall no more say, The LORD liveth, which brought up the children of
Israel out of the land of Egypt; But,
The LORD liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel
out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven them; and
they shall dwell in their own land.”
Jeremiah 23:7,8
“The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
Thus speaketh the LORD God of Israel, saying, Write thee all the words that I
have spoken unto thee in a book. For, lo, the days come, saith the LORD, that I
will bring again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, saith the LORD:
and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and
they shall possess it. And these are the words that the LORD spake
concerning Israel and concerning Judah.”
Jeremiah 30:1 – 4
“For I am with thee, saith the LORD, to save thee:
though I make a full end of all nations whither I have scattered thee, yet will
I not make a full end of thee: but I will correct thee in measure, and will not
leave thee altogether unpunished.”
Jeremiah 30:11
“For it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD
of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy
bonds, and strangers shall no more serve themselves of him: But they shall
serve the LORD their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto
them.” Jeremiah 30:8,9
“I said unto their children in the wilderness, Walk ye
not in the statutes of your fathers, neither observe their judgments, nor
defile yourselves with their idols: I am the LORD your God; walk in my
statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them; And hallow my sabbaths; and they
shall be a sign between me and you, that ye may know that I am the LORD your
God.” Ezekiel 20:18 – 20
“I will go and return to my place, till they
acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek
me early.” Hosea 5:15
“Sing, O daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel; be glad
and rejoice with all the heart, O daughter of Jerusalem. The LORD hath taken
away thy judgments, he hath cast out thine enemy: the king of Israel, even the
LORD, is in the midst of thee: thou shalt not see evil any more. In that day it
shall be said to Jerusalem, Fear thou not: and to Zion, Let not thine hands be slack. The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty;
he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he
will joy over thee with singing. I will gather them that are sorrowful for the
solemn assembly, who are of thee, to whom the reproach of it was a burden.
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. At that time will I
bring you again, even in the time that I gather you: for I will make you a name
and a praise among all people of the earth, when I turn back your captivity
before your eyes, saith the LORD.”
Zephaniah 3:14 – 20
“For from the rising of the sun even unto the going
down of the same my name shall be great among the Gentiles; and in every place
incense shall be offered unto my name, and a pure offering: for my name shall
be great among the heathen, saith the LORD of hosts.” Malachi 1:11
“Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I
commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments.
Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and
dreadful day of the LORD:” Malachi 4:4,5

Ezekiel 37th Chapter
AND THE HEATHEN SHALL KNOW
THAT I THE LORD DO SANCTIFY ISRAEL
“The hand of the LORD was upon me, and carried me out
in the spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was
full of bones, And caused me to pass by them round
about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they
were very dry. And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live?
And I answered, O Lord GOD, thou knowest.
Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and
say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD. Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold, I
will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live: And I will lay sinews
upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put
breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the LORD. So
I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and
behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone. And when I
beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered
them above: but there was no breath in them.
Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind,
prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Come from
the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live. So
I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived,
and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.
Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the
whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are
dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts. Therefore prophesy
and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O my people, I will open
your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into
the land of Israel. And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I have
opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves, And
shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your
own land: then shall ye know that I the LORD have spoken it, and
performed it, saith the LORD.
The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah,
and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and
write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house
of Israel his companions: And join them one to another into one stick; and they
shall become one in thine hand. And when the children of thy people shall speak
unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not shew us what thou meanest by these? Say
unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph,
which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows,
and will put them with him, even with the stick of Judah, and make them
one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand. And the sticks whereon thou
writest shall be in thine hand before their eyes.
And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I
will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone,
and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land: And I
will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one
king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither
shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all: Neither shall they
defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things,
nor with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all their
dwelling places, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they
be my people, and I will be their God.
And David my servant shall be king over them;
and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and
observe my statutes, and do them. And they shall dwell in the land that I have
given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall
dwell therein, even they, and their children, and their children's
children for ever: and my servant David shall be their prince for ever.
Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting
covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my
sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore.
My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be
their God, and they shall be my people.
And the heathen shall know that I the LORD do sanctify
Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.”

THE SOAPBOX THAT SPEAKS:
MY BRIEF BUT CONCISE TAKE ON CHRISTMAS
People who think the GOD of this
Universe ordained Christmas and that HE wants people connecting HIM to this
farce and commercial holiday and greed and pagan worship know nothing about
this CREATOR of Heaven and Earth.
If the JEALOUS CREI am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I
not give to another, neither my praise to graven images. ATOR GOD were involved in this pagan, man-made
Christmas holiday for a baby that is called “savior” and for a fat-bearded
White man wearing red and white in a sleigh, then instead of hunger and great
impoverishment across the globe, there would be “joy to the world”. However, in actuality there is Hell and everything
but.
Know the Truth for it is WISDOM: the
CREATOR GOD will not give HIS GLORY to another – not to JC and not to a jolly
old, fat-bearded White man! Both are
equally as pagan and of false worship as is the other.
“I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I
not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.” Isaiah 42:8
*****
THE EVERLASTING GOD
How do people internalize and define the
EVERLASTING GOD? Wouldn’t this GOD be
the CREATOR of Heaven and Earth and all things therein including mankind? Isn’t this the POWER that would make HIM and
prove HIM to be the EVERLASTING GOD? And
is there really a need for another?
Okay, so, why then do people call upon
JC, a man nonetheless, and pray to him and worship him?
“And the LORD spake unto Moses and
Aaron, saying, When a man shall have in the skin of his flesh a rising, a scab,
or bright spot, and it be in the skin of his flesh like the plague of leprosy;
then he shall be brought unto Aaron the priest, or unto one of his sons the
priests: And the priest shall look on the plague in the skin of the flesh: and
when the hair in the plague is turned white, and the plague in sight be deeper
than the skin of his flesh, it is a plague of leprosy: and the priest shall
look on him, and pronounce him unclean.
“Or if there be any flesh, in the skin whereof there is a hot burning, and the quick flesh that burneth have a white bright spot, somewhat reddish, or white;” Leviticus 18:1 – 3,24
How can those who believe in JC be so
remiss to not seek to know the EVERLASTING GOD and HIS actual WORD that is
written only in the Hebrew Scriptures at the mouth of HIS Prophets?
JC has not given this world or anyone
reason to believe that he is the “savior of this world”, and in truth, he has
not saved anyone – not the Slaves who believed in him, not their descendants
who worship him, not the Whites who rule this Earth, and not the writers of the
“New Testament” who invented him. There
is no end to the crises that plague this planet. Where is this absentee “savior”? At least we know why the EVERLASTING GOD has
left this Earth to the wicked.
“I
will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek
my face: in their affliction they will seek me early.” Hosea 5:15
There is but ONE HELP for the ills of
this world, and that would be the EVERLASTING GOD, and at the end of the day
you will see it.
The EVERLASTING GOD will Judge the evil
and the wicked and eliminate all false worship and all that does not boast of
HIM for all HIS WONDROUS WORKS in accomplishing this Universe.
“For
evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall
inherit the earth.
“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.
“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 37:9,28,34
If JC could have improved the Hell on
this Earth, he would have. But he and
his ilk are every bit the reason for the evil mindsets of people. Christianity teaches belief in a man, and
that he will save sinners regardless of their iniquities and no matter how many
times they are repeated. Hence, the
transgressions and abominations abound, but not for too much longer because the
EVERLASTING GOD will once again prove that HE ALONE is GOD and that there is
NONE ELSE.
“Blow ye the
trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the
inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh
at hand;
“The earth
shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall
be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining: And the LORD shall utter
his voice before his army: for his camp is very great: for he is strong that
executeth his word: for the day of the LORD is great and very terrible; and who
can abide it?” Joel 2:1,10,11
“For
it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of hosts, that I will break
his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy bonds, and strangers shall no
more serve themselves of him: But they shall serve the LORD their God, and
David their king, whom I will raise up unto them. Therefore fear thou not, O my
servant Jacob, saith the LORD; neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will
save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of
their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be in rest, and be quiet,
and none shall make him afraid.” Jeremiah 30:8 - 10
“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
“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
“For,
behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be
remembered, nor come into mind.” Isaiah 65:17
*****
THE DAY OF THE LORD
Surely there is something better than
this present lifestyle of heathenish customs, misery, false worship, and
unrighteousness. Know that there is
something better than this despair people endure from day to day without end. Being Israelites we need to consider what we
want now and for the future. More
importantly, we must consider what it is that Our GOD of Israel wants for
us. Does HE want us to abandon HIS
Perfect Way of Life written in HIS Book of the Law for the “Gospel” in the “New
Testament”? Which of the two will win out? Do the wisdom!
“Ye
shall therefore keep my statutes, and my judgments: which if a man do, he shall live in them: I am the LORD.
“Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments,
and shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation,
nor any stranger that sojourneth among you:”
Leviticus 18:5,26
“For in mine holy mountain, in the mountain of the
height of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, there shall all the house of Israel, all
of them in the land, serve me: there will I accept them, and there will I
require your offerings, and the firstfruits of your oblations, with all your
holy things.” Ezekiel 20:40
The CREATOR GOD is TRUE to HIS WORD, and HE will
never fail. All HE has said has come to pass, and upon
all the prophecy spoken of by HIS Prophets we can depend.
“Howl
ye; for the day of the LORD is at hand; it shall come
as a destruction from the Almighty. Therefore shall all hands be faint, and
every man's heart shall melt:”
Isaiah 13:6,7

NEWS YOU CAN
USE
President Obama is campaigning for a
second term, and I am wondering why.
Think about it. Obama will soon
be in office for four years and unfortunately for him, without keeping his
campaign promises. Of course, much of
all his efforts were shot down by members of the Republican Party, FOX NEWS,
WLS Radio, and let’s not forget the notorious Rush Limbaugh. These are the factors Hell bent on blocking
President Obama’s every attempt to qualify for a second term in the White
House.
Do African Americans still deem him the
Messiah? Will African Americans vote for
President Obama again? That’s a good
question because the “Real Black President”*
never even threw them a bone.
TRUST IN THE EVERLASTING GOD!
“Our soul
waiteth for the LORD: he is our help and our shield.” Psalm 33:20
*Clinton was called the first Black President.
*****
THE POT CALLING THE KETTLE BLACK
Isn’t it amazing how evil and ruthless
Whites can see the horrors of leaders and others but not their own? My response to McCain is that “He will be
right there in Hell with all others who have exploited minorities and peoples
of Third-World countries in order that the defenseless will be repressed for
the White man’s own self-serving greed.”
Senator John McCain’s comment upon the
death of Kim Jong Il:
“The passing of North Korean Leader
Kim Jong II doesn’t have Sen. John McCain mourning, who appears to have no
doubt to where the leader rests in the afterlife.
‘I can only express satisfaction that the Dear Leader is joining the likes of Qaddafi, Bin Laden, Hitler and Stalin in a warm corner in hell,’ the Arizona senator said in a statement Monday.”

The LORD’s Side
If you know anything at
all about what GOD’s Prophet Moses said about The LORD’s Side, then by
all means find it and prepare a place for yourselves thereby.
Let the CREATOR GOD of
Israel call attention to HIMSELF with HIS awesome SIGNS and WONDERS, otherwise
how will the peoples of this world learn HIS Truth and learn to FEAR and
WORSHIP ONLY HIM?
*****
Knowing GOD’s WORD is EVERYTHING
People can’t figure out what the heck is going on in
the Middle East, in particular the ongoing conflicts and turbulence between the
Israelis and the Palestinian, which actually has nothing to do with it. Again, one needs to be aware of the Hebrew
Scriptures for this understanding. Few
people know that the “Old Testament” contains prophecy that is yet to be
fulfilled. Mainly that the CREATOR GOD
will take back control of HIS Universe, HIS Holy Land, HIS Holy City,
Jerusalem, and HIS Covenant People, the SEED of Jacob, which means that the
Europeans who control GOD’s Holy Land are in serious jeopardy. And for that reason, Israelis are shaking in
their boots because they know that their mighty fighter jets, acquired with US
monies, and their missiles are useless up against the Most High CREATOR
GOD. The Israelis made it their business
to know the Hebrew Scriptures a long time ago.
This was necessary because any time one usurps the identity of another,
one must learn everything there is to know about that person if the deception
is to be effective.
The United States and Israelis have to learn that the
ALL-MIGHTY CREATOR GOD of Israel still lives, and HE is not JC.

MARK?
WHAT MARK?
Does your forehead bear GOD’s Mark? If it
doesn’t, then you might have good reason to worry. If history repeats itself,
then we will want GOD’s Mark in our foreheads because this Mark speaks volumes
and could save your life. It pays to
read our Hebrew Scriptures!

THE SMOKESCREEN
We can assume the
Universe was established by a “Big Bang,” or we can seek a more intelligent
theory.
The more intelligent
reasoning is that a Supreme Being did in fact Create the Heavens, Earth, and
all things therein. Then the issue becomes, “Did this Supreme Being
intend for HIS CREATION to exist in such a chaotic state of absolute Hell, as
it is now?” If not, then it is incumbent upon us to seek answers for the
present horrific state of affairs in the Land of Israel and the rest of the
Middle East that is capable of spreading to other countries even to the United
States.
It is not likely that
this Supreme Being did not advise the people of HIS Creation IN THE BEGINNING
of how to live in goodness and in peace with each other, which certainly
entailed how to worship HIM for giving them life. For there not to exist
harmony and happiness on this Earth, it is evident that from the looks of things
and from the ever-present catastrophic events taking place on Earth, this
Supreme Being is furious with the peoples HE Created.
This is where we are
now. The CREATOR is Judging the peoples of HIS
Creation and is taking back HIS Universe.
History proves that
Jerusalem is the Holy City of the GOD of Israel, that the Israelites are HIS
Chosen, Covenant People, and that the Land of Israel belongs to HIM, as
well. So, why all the attention given to this area of
the world that is proving to be the catalyst leading to the end of this present
world system?
The Palestinians have
been in the land since the reign of King Saul, and the European Israelis have
been a State since 1948, opening their doors to other converted Europeans and
whomsoever else wishing to take part in this Talmudic process and live off the
fat of GOD’s Holy Land. The Palestinians and the Israelis have been at
war ever since. If these two groups can live together anywhere in the
world except in Israel, then there must be a very good reason why.
However, the reason is not one that Israelis desire to make public.
Israeli hatred of the Arabs is not at all the issue. There exists a more
profound reason than that. Finger pointing at the Arabs is but the
ubiquitous smokescreen presented to the world.
THE TRUTH ABOUT
CONVERSION TO SO-CALLED “JUDAISM”
The world should
connect the dots and learn the truth regarding the Europeans who control GOD’s
Holy Land. There is no way the GOD of Israel will accept a conversion
process that changes Europeans, Americans, and Middle Easterners into
“Jews.” GOD’s Covenant is with Abraham, Isaac, Jacob
and their SEED. Accordingly, how can we dismiss the fact that
Abraham was called out of Ur of the Chaldeans – NOT out of Europe.
GOD well knows HIS Chosen People, no matter that HE took their identity from
them and cast them from HIS Land.
And their being
scattered into the “Four Corners of the Earth” to serve their enemies has
everything to do with the problems in the Middle East, as this crisis relates
to the CREATOR GOD taking back HIS Universe, HIS Holy Land, HIS Holy City, and
HIS Chosen People. The Israelis know this. They see the handwriting
on the wall, but they are fighting the CREATOR GOD tooth and nail. That’s
what this war is all about - Israeli control - to keep out the SEED of Jacob
whom GOD is calling home. Hence, the Israelis, even if time permitted,
would not give the Palestinians their State for fear the Israelites would seek
to live there also. And just for the record, one can learn about the true
identity of the descendants of Jacob by reading what the CREATOR GOD of Israel
said would befall them in Leviticus 26th and Deuteronomy 28th
Chapters.
The Israelis have a
rabid requirement to control all the Land of Israel including the Palestinian
territories for one reason and for one reason only, which has everything to do
with their “Law of Return.” The
Israelis and their Rabbinute (their religious party) are ever aware that the
CREATOR GOD of Israel has a Covenant People – The Twelve Tribes of Jacob, and
they know that according to Biblical Prophecy the CREATOR GOD of the Land of
Israel and this Universe will restore HIS Chosen People to their
heritage. For obvious reasons, in no way do the Israelis (European
converts to what’s called “Judaism,” which is of their own making) want this to
happen, for then they will no longer have control of the Land of Israel at
all. However, they know their days are numbered.
“Therefore thus saith
the Lord GOD; I have lifted up mine hand, Surely the
heathen that are about you, they shall bear their shame. But ye, O mountains of
Israel, ye shall shoot forth your branches, and yield your fruit to my people
of Israel; for they are at hand to come. For, behold, I am for you, and I will
turn unto you, and ye shall be tilled and sown: And I will multiply men upon
you, all the house of Israel, even all of it: and the cities shall be
inhabited, and the wastes shall be builded:”
Ezekiel 36:7 – 10
Now, the Truth is
out. This is the reason for the decades of turmoil, death, and
destruction over GOD’s Holy Land.
And of a Truth, the Israeli powers-that-be have no qualms
about their dilemma. They are prepared to fight to the end, but
who are they really fighting? It all has to do with what prophecy foretells,
and what must be fulfilled.
Conversely, Israelis are
putting too much false hope in their military powers. When it comes to
the Children of Israel, the CREATOR GOD fights their battles, and since it is
time for their return, there is nothing Israeli’ weaponry can do to stop GOD’s
Commandment from manifesting.
The Israelites were
formed to show forth GOD’s Praise and to be a light to the world for HIS Ways
of Righteousness – HIS Book of the Law (the teachings of the Prophet Moses –
NOT the Talmud compiled by European “Jews”).
“Thus saith God the
LORD, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth
the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the
people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein: I the LORD have called
thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give
thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;”
Isaiah 42:5,6
“This people have I
formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise.” Isaiah 43:21
And it is for this
reason the Supreme Being, or rather the CREATOR GOD of
Israel is taking back HIS magnificent Universe and making it a place of Divine
Peace, one that Exalts and Magnifies HIM for all HIS Wondrous Works.
The CREATOR GOD has held
HIS Peace for a very long time, all because of the curses HE put on HIS Chosen
People for forsaking HIM for false gods and for rejecting HIS LAW. Their
rebellion caused GOD to cast HIS People into the hands of the heathen, and HE
went into seclusion permitting Gentiles to run the world and teach HIS People a
lesson that would send them running back to HIM seeking forgiveness with
contrite spirits.
“I have long time
holden my peace; I have been still, and refrained myself: now will I cry like a
travailing woman; I will destroy and devour at once.” Isaiah 42:14
For a long time people
believed that the European “Jews” were really the people of the Bible, but the
CREATOR knows HIS Chosen People, the SEED of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the men
with whom HE made an Everlasting Covenant (Genesis 17:1 – 21).
From the Slave Trade to
world hatred, and enduring racism and discrimination all over the world, Blacks
have suffered at the hands of those who ruled over them. But now, the
CREATOR GOD of Israel is awakening the Dry Bones and calling HIS People home to
the chagrin and utter dismay of European Israelis who are helpless to do
anything about it but who still have plans to thwart the WORD of GOD.
Trust me, their efforts will not end in victory, and nothing since 1948 has
even given them hope that they could take the place of the SEED of Jacob/Israel
(Genesis 32:28) – neither by conversion nor submersion.
Thus, the reasons for
the war for Israeli control of GOD’s Land and the reasons for a world of
troubled times, disasters, endless suffering, despair, and many, many tears.
The CREATOR is taking
back HIS Universe and keeping HIS Everlasting Promises to Abraham, Isaac, and
Jacob, the Patriarchs of the Nation of Israel.
“And it shall come to
pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped of the
house of Jacob, shall no more again stay upon him that smote them; but shall
stay upon the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth. The remnant shall return,
even the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God. For though thy people Israel be
as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return: the consumption
decreed shall overflow with righteousness.” Isaiah 10:20 - 22
“And it shall come to
pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to
recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from
Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and
from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.” Isaiah 11:11
“And I will put my
spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my
judgments, and do them.” Ezekiel 36:27
“For as the new
heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the
LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain.” Isaiah 66:22
“Thus saith the LORD;
Behold, I will bring again the captivity of Jacob's tents, and have mercy on
his dwellingplaces; and the city shall be builded upon her own heap, and the
palace shall remain after the manner thereof. And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry:
and I will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will also glorify them,
and they shall not be small. Their children also shall be as aforetime, and
their congregation shall be established before me, and I will punish all that
oppress them. And their nobles shall be of themselves, and their governor shall
proceed from the midst of them; and I will cause him to draw near, and he shall
approach unto me: for who is this that engaged his heart to approach unto me? saith the LORD.”
Jeremiah 30:18 – 21
“At the same time,
saith the LORD, will I be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall
be my people. Thus saith the LORD, The people which
were left of the sword found grace in the wilderness; even Israel, when I went
to cause him to rest. The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I
have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with loving kindness have I
drawn thee. Again I will build thee, and thou shalt be built, O virgin of
Israel: thou shalt again be adorned with thy tabrets, and shalt go forth in the
dances of them that make merry. Thou shalt yet plant vines upon the mountains
of Samaria: the planters shall plant, and shall eat them as common things. For
there shall be a day, that the watchmen upon the mount Ephraim shall cry, Arise
ye, and let us go up to Zion unto the LORD our God. For thus saith the LORD;
Sing with gladness for Jacob, and shout among the chief of the nations: publish
ye, praise ye, and say, O LORD, save thy people, the remnant of Israel. Behold,
I will bring them from the north country, and gather
them from the coasts of the earth, and with them the blind and the lame, the
woman with child and her that travaileth with child together: a great company
shall return thither. They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will
I lead them: I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight
way, wherein they shall not stumble: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim
is my firstborn. Hear the word of the LORD, O ye nations, and declare it in the
isles afar off, and say, He that scattered Israel will gather him, and keep
him, as a shepherd doth his flock. For the LORD hath redeemed Jacob, and
ransomed him from the hand of him that was stronger than he. Therefore they
shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and shall flow together to the
goodness of the LORD, for wheat, and for wine, and for oil, and for the young
of the flock and of the herd: and their soul shall be as a watered garden; and
they shall not sorrow any more at all. Then shall the virgin rejoice in the
dance, both young men and old together: for I will turn their mourning into
joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow.” Jeremiah 31:1 – 13
“The remnant of
Israel shall not do iniquity, nor speak lies; neither shall a deceitful tongue
be found in their mouth: for they shall feed and lie down, and none shall make
them afraid.” Zephaniah
3:13
“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
WHAT IS THE
RIGHTEOUSNESS OF THE CREATOR GOD?
“And it shall be our
righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before the LORD our
God, as he hath commanded us.” Deuteronomy 6:25
“When all Israel is
come to appear before the LORD thy God in the place which he shall choose, thou
shalt read this law before all Israel in their hearing. 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 31:11 - 13
The fulfillment of the
above passage is just a matter of time.

WE WANT ANSWERS, BUT CAN WE HANDLE THE TRUTH?
What in the world is happening?
As people watch and
experience frightening and disastrous floods, killer storms, Earthquakes,
volcanic eruptions, destructive fires, famine, and incurable diseases, they can
only ask, “Will my loved ones and I be spared?”
As people sit in
churches and temples, they wonder, “Why aren’t my prayers being
answered?” And “Who can I trust to spiritually guide me?”
As people raise their
children, they wonder, “How can I explain the reasons why GOD does not end
hunger, impoverishment, race hatred, unhappiness, ubiquitous catastrophes, and
bring peace to this Earth?”
And “Why would GOD
hand HIS Earth over to the heathens?”

[I am
too pleased to add the following list of more enlightening books presented by
our dear Sister Naami baht Lewi. By all means, please indulge and be the
wiser. T.Y., Editor]
1. Breaking the
Chains of Psychological Slavery by Na'im Akbar (a very short book, but it's chock full of good, good stuff);
2. Africans and Their
History by Dr. Joseph E. Harris (the book is not a big book either and
there's even a paperback edition. Yet, it is one of the most comprehensive and
easy-to-follow books on Africa that I've read);
3. Post Traumatic
Slave Syndrome by Dr. Joy Learey (in my opinion, this sister, even without
an Israelite perspective, has produced the definitive work on explaining some
of our behaviors, thought patterns, etc. She also offers some practical
solutions that can be adopted and are even more applicable because we know the
origin of our pathological behavior);
4. Capitalism and
Slavery by Eric Williams (even though Dr. Williams speaks mainly about West
Indian slavery, he offers a comprehensive perspective as to why we should not
embrace our oppressors - particularly when we understand what they have done to
us and their mindset on the whole institution).
5. Holy Land, Whose
Land?: Modern Dilemma, Ancient Roots by Dorothy
Drummond (she offers an interesting perspective on the question and she offers
both the scientific and historical explanations as to why this is so);
6. The Woman's
Encyclopedia of Myths and Secrets by Barbara G. Walker. This is a great
reference book for explaining many of the pagan origins of beliefs, practices,
etc.
7. The Penguin
Dictionary of Religions, edited by John R. Hinnells;
8. The Penguin
Dictionary of Symbols, by Jean Chevalier and Alain Gheerbrant;
Both of these reference books offer a wealth of information as to the origin or
certain religious beliefs, how these beliefs were founded, and how various
symbols are derived from paganism, etc.
9. Anything by the late
Dr. Amos N. Wilson, particularly the following: The Developmental Psychology
of the Black Child; Awakening the Natural Genius of Black Children;
& The Falsification of Afrikan Consciousness.
NOTE: Dr. Wilson was an
inspired, if sometimes soporific lecturer, although his lectures were mainly
delivered in the vernacular of the common man. His books are written is some
common language that is easily comprehensible, while also including language
that may be difficult for some to follow (i.e., written in academic language).
However, folks who are good and/or avid readers will gain a lot from his work.
10. The Hidden
History of New York: A guide for Black Folks by Tingba Apidta, the 3rd in a
series of The Reclamation Project, Boston, MA. (This book is for those who
mistakenly believe that slavery and Jim Crow were Southern U.S. phenomena.)
11. African
Perspective on Colonialism by A. Adu Boahen (An African's view of his
continent's conquerors. Very interesting and informative.)
12. *The Jew and the Christian Missionary: A Jewish
Response to Missionary Christianity" by Gerald Segal, KTAV Publishing
House, Inc., NY, 1981.
*Please note that this book may be completely out of
print. When I ordered mine on amazon.com a few years ago, (The Strand and other
out-of-print publishers did not have a copy) it cost me $53 (other copies were
being sold for as high as $250!). A congregation might want to track this
publication down and pay for a copy and then distribute without charge, copies
of sections, citing the source, of course. This way, they don't infringe on
copyright laws. It is one of those remarkable books that once acquired, you
don't let out of your possession.

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 22:5
June 19, 2006
What exactly does the
GOD of Israel mean when HE Commands us to take diligent heed to do HIS
Commandments and HIS LAW?
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 Jordan to possess it.” Deuteronomy 32:46,47
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 Kingdom of YAH, and indeed it cannot in
any way portray GOD’s Righteous Kingdom.
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 Israel’s Divine and Righteous Kingdom or cannot
be established to receive the Remnant GOD said would return.
“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 Righteous Kingdom that will exist upon this
Earth, and he will know to be the perfect role model for living GOD’s LAW in
Righteousness.
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 Jerusalem and the GOD of Heaven and Earth will rule over all (Psalm
103:19).
I find nothing in GOD’s
WORD to support an existence of HIS Kingdom in Israel under the control of
Gentile Jews. Ben Ammi has deceived hundreds into believing this lie that
he is the Messianic leader of GOD’s Kingdom. How long are we going to
follow leaders who use GOD’s Holy Name in vain?!
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 Israel. If Ben Ammi and
the people of his camp defy the Most High GOD of Israel, then why join with
them, and why take part in their beliefs unfounded in GOD’s LAW and in their
disobedience?
“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 Israel doth not
know, my people doth not consider. Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity,
a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD,
they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away
backward.” Isaiah 1:2 - 4
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 Israel, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, or any of the other
Prophets who promoted GOD’s Book of the Law and who spoke “THUS SAITH THE LORD”
called a Messiah? Do we need this? Is this something required of us
to have before us?
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 Land of Israel. And if Moses
was NOT given this C.E. terminology to introduce to the Children of Israel,
then there is no reason for us to know about it at all. There isn’t even
ANY information in this Book of Daniel or in the “New Testament” that is
essential for Israelites to know and do – none at all. All that the GOD
of Israel required of us to know and do was given to HIS Servant Moses and is
reiterated in the books of HIS Prophets who utter “THUS SAITH THE LORD.”
There is no “THUS SIAITH THE LORD” in the Book of Daniel or in the “New
Testament.” Both of these books were written AFTER GOD scattered HIS
Chosen People, Israel, from the land. That being the case, this
literature is suspect, and proof of this is the fact that the Israelites were
scattered to live in “Darkness” and to serve their enemies. So, why would
the Holy ONE give them any information about seventy weeks or seventy years or seventy anything?
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 Israel for an everlasting
covenant:” Psalm 105:8 – 10
“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 Liberia and then
on to Israel. The GOD of Israel did not say that Ben Ammi would deliver
HIS People. HE said that HE would, and when HE does, for sure HE wants
all the GLORY, every whit! HE got all the GLORY in the Israelite
Deliverance out of Egypt, and HE, unequivocally, will be Exalted AGAIN upon the
return of the Remnant of Israel that GOD promises HE WILL GATHER. To
suggest or even think for a moment that Ben Ammi deserves recognition for that which is due to the Holy ONE of Israel leads me to believe that
some of us, being Israelites, have truly lost sight of what’s important to know
and understand. It would appear that the Holy ONE is again proving
Israelites to determine who will and who will not enter into HIS Glorious
Kingdom.
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 “green bay tree” in Psalms.
“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 Peaceful Kingdom. It is not Ben Ammi’s veggie and
no-salt diets. Ben Ammi is not concerned about GOD’s LAW, and neither is
the GOD of Israel in his thoughts. This “KOY” in Dimona is really nothing
more than the Kingdom of Ben Ammi, and he is no more the “Saviour” that he is
called than is the jc of the “New Testament.” Ben Ammi and the other
leaders in his Camp know exactly how to run their game, and those who they
beguile either know nothing of the GOD of Israel and HIS LAW, or they have
chosen to forget the GOD of Israel and HIS LAW and listen to and believe in a
man whose foundation is built on lies, corruption, and death. Therefore,
I caution everyone to be very cautious of what is believed, and the reason is
that if we CHOOSE to believe in wickedness, then GOD will help to encourage
that false belief.
“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 Israel gathering us and taking us into a SECOND WILDERNESS.
If Ben Ammi, or anyone for that matter, does not observe GOD’s Holy Seventh Day
of Complete REST, as it is written, will he not be purged, as the GOD of Israel
has said? Can it really be that the CREATOR GOD of the Heavens and the
Earth will allow Ben Ammi and his Camp to fast on HIS Holy Day and have his
restaurants open defying HIS Commandment? Come on, People! Who is
fooling whom?
“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 land of Egypt, so will I plead with you, saith the
Lord GOD. And I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into
the bond of the covenant: And I will purge out from among you the rebels, and
them that transgress against me: I will bring them forth out of the country
where they sojourn, and they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and ye
shall know that I am the LORD.” Ezekiel 20:34 – 38
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 Israel with their lips but have hearts
far from HIM. This is the case with all Israel who acknowledge the Holy
ONE of Israel but DO NOT live by HIS Book of the Law, as it is written.
“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 Israel is
not impressed with the direction some of us have taken. First of all, we
do not need leaders. Our Merciful GOD has brought us out of darkness in
revealing to us our true identity and has made us know that we are more than
just descendants of Slaves. HE did this because of HIS Promises to Abraham,
Isaac, and Jacob and because we are HIS Chosen People. Wake up,
Israel! We need Our GOD, the Holy ONE of Israel. We can call upon
HIM for direction, wisdom, and understanding. That’s why HE is Our
GOD. HE does not tell us to call upon HIM for naught. HE did not
say trust not in a friend for naught. HE did not say that those who
follow after evil leaders will be destroyed for naught (Isaiah 9:16). Our
GOD has always wanted to be the center of our lives and of our world. And
if we are obedient and will devote our lives to HIM, HE will be our LEADER, and
for choosing HIM, we will not thirst or want for any good thing. And at
the designated time, HE promises to send us HIS Pastors. But until then,
trust in ONLY Our GOD of Israel and see HIS miraculous WORKS for those HE
loves!
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 Israel is a Most Merciful GOD and SAVIOR and has covered ALL
bases, and HE has left out nothing of significance for us to know and do.
Our GOD of Israel has even left us with HIS WORD and good reason why we should
not trust in man.
“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 Israel, but only if we
will return to HIM (not to Ben Ammi) to FEAR ONLY HIM and be obedient to
the Ways of the CREATOR GOD of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. It has been
more than 2,500 years since we lost our heritage. And the only way we
will return to it is by looking to our SAVIOR, Our ONLY HELP.
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 Israel bless the man courageous enough
to speak HIS Truth and stand up for HIS LAW, the ONLY True Path of Righteousness.
“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, Israel.
It is a fact that Ben Ammi does not live by GOD’s LAW. This we
know! And since he doesn’t, the so-called KOY, under the leadership of
Ben Ammi is just another Messianic congregation in deep trouble with the GOD of
Israel. As for me, I shall serve the Most High GOD of Israel and strive
to be perfect in HIS LAW. And all those who FEAR the GOD of Israel will
do likewise. Going home in no way entails joining Ben Ammi’s congregation,
and if this is what you believe, then you are greatly deceived.
“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, ISRAEL!
Our GOD is calling us, and HE is being very selective. HE is only taking
Israelites who will vow themselves to HIM and to HIS LAW. For that
reason, there will only be a “Remnant” to make it to GOD’s Kingdom – only a
Remnant.
“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 Israel.
The last thing Israelites who seek the GOD of Israel need is to hear a
philosophy inconsistent with that of GOD’s Book of the Law.
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
Israel,” the Israelite congregation in which he was a member. But he
allowed a former Christian preacher who joined his group to entice him to be
the “Messiah” and “Saviour” of the Nation of Israel. By the way, his
congregation does for sure call him “Lord and Saviour.” I have heard a
woman make reference to him as being that, and Asiel, the so-called “KOY”
Ambassador confirms that Ben Ammi saved him. He made this statement in
the Paltalk Chat a few months ago. For this reason, Ben Ammi has gone,
not just mad but, stark raving mad. I feel it is important to inform you
that the woman (Rachel) who called Ben Ammi “Lord and Saviour” is now
deceased. And just for the record, the man who is supposed to have
“anointed” Ben Ammi is dead and has been dead for a long time, now.
ISRAEL DOES NOT KNOW!
“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, Israel, and
take diligent heed to the LAW and WORD of the GOD of Israel before it is too
late. Our GOD is taking back
HIS Universe, and I PRAISE HIM, for I hate this world system that enables
people to live as they choose rather than live by “every word that proceedeth
out of the mouth of the LORD…” (Deuteronomy 8:3).
“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.”
Psalm 104:33 – 35
“Save us, O LORD our
God, and gather us from among the heathen, to give thanks unto thy holy name,
and to triumph in thy praise. Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from
everlasting to everlasting…”
Psalm 106:47
“For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him
as with a shield.” Psalm
5:12
WHO IS ON THE LORD’s
SIDE, make haste to return to HIM and
to HIS Book of the Law and to live and do it in Righteousness with your whole
heart and soul!
BLESSED BE THE HOLY
ONE OF ISRAEL FOR HIS MERCIFUL KINDNESS TOWARDS THOSE WHO SEEK HIM AND WHO ARE
OBEDIENT TO HIS LAW!
Me and My GOD with me,
Tziona Yisrael
Servant of the Most
High GOD of Israel for HIS Holy Name’s Sake
*****
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 ISRAEL!
“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 Israel;
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 land of Egypt, from the iron furnace, saying,
Obey my voice,
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 Israel made no comment when the
Israelites left the Manna “til the morning and it bred worms and stank.”
But, it was Moses who “was wroth with them.” However, when some of the
Children of Israel went out on the Seventh Day Sabbath to gather Manna, this,
without a doubt, deeply upset the Holy ONE of Israel.
“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 Israel still proving us to
see if we “will walk in HIS LAW, or no?” Is HE still using HIS Holy
Sabbath Day as an indicator, and are we at liberty to violate GOD’s COMMANDMENT
“to abide every man in his place on the Seventh Day”? Also, can we be
expected to return to our heritage if we do violate this COMMANDMENT?
“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 Jackson, Tennessee held on November 12 – 14, a notice was
circulated stating, “This Conference Stars YHWH King Of
The Universe!!”
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
Jordan to possess it.” Deuteronomy 32:46,47
“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 land of Egypt with great power and a stretched out
arm, him shall ye fear, and him shall ye worship, and to him shall ye do
sacrifice. And the statutes, and the ordinances, and the law, and the
commandment, which he wrote for you, ye shall observe to do for evermore; and
ye shall not fear other gods.” II Kings 17:36,37
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
Israel played before God with all their might, and with singing, and
with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with cymbals, and with
trumpets.” I Chronicles
13:8
Without a doubt, King
David and ALL Israel played before GOD WITH ALL THEIR MIGHT with SINGING,
HARPS, PSALTERIES, TIMBRELS, CYMBOLS, and TRUMPETS. For sure the Israelites made a great tumultuous
noise in sincere PRAISE of the Most High GOD of Israel. And indeed HE was
taking notice!
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 Israel has not changed HIS LAW of the Sabbath.
It is yet valid, and we are bound to it, as well as to ALL of GOD’s LAWS.
And like Nehemiah, I remind everyone of how our forefathers profaned GOD’s
Holy Day of REST even after having just returned to the land out of Babylonian
captivity.
“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 Israel by profaning the
sabbath.”
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 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.” Exodus 31:13 - 15
“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 Jerusalem began to be dark before the sabbath,
I commanded that the gates should be shut, and charged that they should not
be opened till after the sabbath: and some of my servants set I at
the gates, that there should no burden be brought in on the sabbath
day.”
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 Israel does not change,
and HE is not going to change HIS Law of the Holy Seventh Day that dates back
to the end of HIS CREATION. The Law of the Seventh Day Sabbath is
to REST and keep the day “Holy.”
“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 Israel.”
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 Israel, saying, Take heed, and hearken, O
Israel; this day thou art become the people of the LORD thy God. Thou
shalt therefore obey the voice of the LORD thy God, and do his commandments
and his statutes, which I command thee this day.” Deuteronomy
27:9,10
“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 Egypt,
which thou wast afraid of; and they shall cleave unto thee. Also every
sickness, and every plague, which is not written in the book of this
law, them will the LORD bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed.”
Deuteronomy 28:58 – 61
“And 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 Israel to the robbers? did
not the LORD, he against whom we have sinned? for they
would not walk in his ways, neither were they obedient unto his
law.” Isaiah 42:23,24
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 Israel. The GOD of Israel has already established how HE wants
us to serve and worship HIM: according to HIS LAW and with our whole
heart and soul and in Righteousness. Therefore, seek GOD’s
Counsel and abide by HIS Ways that HE left written for us to follow. If
revelations and the imaginations of our hearts that we embark upon are not in
accord with Isaiah 8:20, then these teachings, persuasions, endeavors, events,
and doings are not encouraged by Our GOD of Israel.
“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
We must not ever
forget that although we are GOD’s Chosen People, “LIFE” is not about the
Children of Israel. The ideal “LIFE” (style) is about keeping GOD’s Laws,
Statutes, and Judgments and, in doing so, enjoying peace, happiness, and
prosperity in our heritage with Our GOD in our midst! This “LIFE,” per se, is the panacea, the Divine
Utopia that all peoples upon this Earth should seek for keeping GOD’s Ways of
Righteousness and serving and worshipping HIM is with great rewards.
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 Israel is not with us, then, let’s face it, we
are lost!
“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

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.”

AN UPDATED SPECIAL NOTE ON GOD's HOLY SEVENTH DAY OF
COMPLETE REST!
I can understand how we would have questions about
certain passages, and the reason is that not every single thing written in the
Hebrews Scriptures is crystal clear. I have found that over the decades,
some revelations have actually taken that long before I could come to a full
understanding of what's written. Also, we must understand that the Holy
ONE does not give us all that we should learn at one sitting and not even in
one year. It truly takes time to internalize all the facts and Truths of
the LAW and GOD's WORD and the enlightenment behind them. For that
reason, we must continuously read the TORAH and GOD's WORD to HIS Prophets on a
yearly basis.
However, given some passages that are crystal clear, I
cannot understand how some of us can read into what's written that which is not
there. I bring into issue GOD's Holy Seventh Day Sabbath of Complete REST
(called a Shabbatone in Hebrew) that we are Commanded
to observe in order that we, our animals, and our servants will be
refreshed.
"Six days thou shalt do thy work, and on the
seventh day thou shalt rest: that thine ox and thine ass may rest, and the son
of thy handmaid, and the stranger, may be refreshed." Exodus 23:12
Just the above verse is enough to make us understand
what Complete REST is all about. But no, it really isn't. One would
think we would be ecstatic to have a day off recognizing the Glorious
"Sign" between Our GOD of Israel and the Children of Israel, doing
nothing but sleeping and sitting on our behinds Praising
the GOD of Israel with THANKS for not having to work – some literally like a
slave. Unfortunately, Israelites want to use this day for just about any
and everything but for Complete REST. And if the above Scripture is not
enough we have others that are even more precise and to the point and without
confusion:
"See, for that the LORD hath given you the
sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide
ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh
day." Exodus 16:29
"And 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 Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe
the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant. It is
a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days
the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was
refreshed." Exodus
31:12 - 17
Some Israelites honestly believe that the Sabbath Day
of Complete REST doesn't start until in the morning, i.e., from morning
until evening – disregarding the fact that the CREATOR started each new
24-hour day in the evening (Genesis First Chapter) which gave us our foundation
for determining each day of the week.
As I have pointed out Isaiah 30:29, makes mention of "the
night when a holy solemnity is kept". That verse also
tells us that Holy Days are kept in the night. But then there are other
Scriptures, as well:
"I will bless the LORD, who hath given me
counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons." Psalm 16:7
"Day unto day uttereth speech,
and night unto night sheweth knowledge." Psalm 19:2
"At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee
because of thy righteous judgments." Psalm 119:62
If the Holy Sabbath of Complete
REST is not observed at night, then what about all other activities that occur
at night? Or do we
just pick and choose which ones to observe at night? What about the
sacrifice that is left to burn into the night? Do GOD's Laws, Statutes,
and Judgments, Ordinances, revelations, and dreams bestowed upon us cease to
have credibility in the night season? Hopefully, now when we think
about it, starting Holy Days from morning to evening makes no sense at
all. However, it does make sense that GOD's Ways and Ordinances DO NOT
cease in the night season. All HIS Ways must be observed AT THEIR
APPOINTED TIMES, and even in the night.
My hope is that all of us will seek a better
understanding of GOD's Truth regarding HIS Law of the Holy Seventh Day Sabbath
because those who profane it are subject to death, as Exodus indicates.
I have had several debates on the topic of when and
how we should observe GOD's Seventh Day Sabbath. The when:
Friday sunset to Saturday sundown. The how: In your places,
wherever that might be and without holding classes, traveling, picnicking,
cooking, spending money, and fulfilling pleasures – in essence, keeping this
day "Holy" and at "REST".
Recently, I had a debate on the Sabbath that was about
"holy convocation". It seems many Israelites seem to believe
that although the GOD of Israel Commanded Complete REST for us and our animals
that given what's written in Leviticus 23rd Chapter makes it all
right to have an assembly of worship on the Sabbath Day.
"Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day
is the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; ye
shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of the LORD in all
your dwellings."
Leviticus 23:3
Some people do not take into consideration that, ONE,
we are Commanded to abide in our
places, and TWO, we are also Commanded to REST. They
seem to think that "holy convocation" means to gather, just like
church folk do on Sunday, and hold Sabbath Service. They could not be
more wrong! It is impossible to enjoy Complete REST while in travel and
while teaching.
"Holy convocation" does not and cannot mean
to assemble. My proof positive is found in the Book of Exodus, where the
GOD of Israel tells the Israelites to observe the First Day of Passover:
"And in the first day there shall be an
holy convocation, and in the seventh day there shall be an holy convocation
to you; no manner of work shall be done in them, save thatwhich every
man must eat, that only may be done of you." Exodus 12:16
The key point here is that on the First Day of
Passover, the Children of Israel were Commanded to
stay in their "households" and consume their lamb or goat.
"Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel,
saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every
man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for
an house:"
Exodus 12:3
"Then Moses called for all the elders of
Israel, and said unto them, Draw out and take you
a lamb according to your families, and kill the passover."
Exodus 12:21
"In one house shall it be eaten; thou shalt not carry forth ought of the flesh abroad
out of the house; neither shall ye break a bone thereof."
Exodus 12:49
Hence, the Children of Israel were not Commanded to assemble, and "holy convocation"
could not mean to assemble for Passover. And by the same token,
Israelites cannot use "holy convocation" as reason to hold a Sabbath
Service.
Why are we still like our
forefathers, that is being Hell bent on deviating from what's written and
leaving us to our own confusion?
Check the Hebrew Scriptures. Of all the Holy Days mentioned, the two that
remarkably head the list are GOD's Holy Seventh Day Sabbath of Complete REST,
which is, by the way, a "Sign" between HIM and the Children of
Israel, and HIS Awesome Passover – both for HIS GLORY and HIS Holy Name's
Sake. The Holy ONE of Israel has made the Sabbath "Sign" for
HIMSELF for being the All-Mighty CREATOR GOD and for establishing CREATION in
the BEGINNING all by HIMSELF. HE has established the Passover
Memorial for HIS Great and Holy Name's Sake that all the
world will remember it FOREVER because of HIS Powerful Hand that brought our
forefathers out of Ancient Egyptian bondage! Therefore, not under any
circumstances can we err by profaning these Holy Days, or any other Holy Day
for that matter. And we should always strive to observe them with utmost
sincerity and heart, exactly as they are written in the LAW.
Remember, Our GOD of Israel formed us for HIS
Praise. Thus, when we demonstrate HIS Ways of Righteousness and observe
HIS Feast Days that then we do HIM Justice and encourage others to follow our
lead. For that reason, GOD's Commandments for keeping HIS Holy Days are
not encrypted and need no interpretation. It only must be in our hearts
to do what's written.
"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. For
this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from
thee, neither is it far off. It is not in heaven, that thou
shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we
may hear it, and do it? Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou
shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and
bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it? 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 30:10 - 16
At some point, it has got to be in our hearts to FEAR
the Holy ONE of Israel to follow HIS written LAW, and until it is in our hearts
to do so, we are not ready to fulfill Deuteronomy 30th
Chapter. And worse, at GOD's set time when HE will recover the Remnant of
Israel exiled throughout the world, not all of us will be among that number.
"And it shall come to pass, when all these 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. If any of thine be driven out unto the outmost parts of
heaven, from thence will the LORD thy God gather thee, and from thence will he
fetch thee: And the LORD thy God will bring thee into the land which thy
fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it; and he will do thee good, and
multiply thee above thy fathers. And the LORD thy God will circumcise thine
heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thine
heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live."
Deuteronomy 30:1 – 6
"And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and such as
are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again stay upon him
that smote them; but shall stay upon the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in
truth. The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob,
unto the mighty God. For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea,
yet a remnant of them shall return: the consumption decreed shall
overflow with righteousness." Isaiah 10:20 – 22
"Thus saith the LORD, As
the new wine is found in the cluster, and one saith, Destroy it not; for
a blessing is in it: so will I do for my servants' sakes, that I
may not destroy them all. And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and
out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains: and mine elect shall inherit it, and
my servants shall dwell there." Isaiah 65:8,9
After leaving out of Ancient Egypt and forty years in
the Wilderness, the Children of Israel walked into the Land of Israel as a
Nation. This time the "he goats" will be first to arrive and
prepare the way for the Nation of Israel, as each arrives. But where are
they? And where are Israelites who will fulfill the Second Great Exodus
that Our GOD of Israel will bring to fruition?
"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. And he shall
set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel,
and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the
earth." Isaiah 11:11,12
"…behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that
they shall no more say, The LORD liveth, which brought up the children of
Israel out of the land of Egypt; But, The LORD liveth, which brought up and
which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from
all countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own
land." Jeremiah 23:7,8
According to these passages the CREATOR GOD confirms
exactly what HIS Plan entails - ONLY A REMNANT will be recovered!
Those of us who desire to be in that number, let us
come together to make a pact to follow the Holy ONE of Israel and HIS Laws,
Statutes, and Judgments, as they are written with fasting and prayer, so
that Our GOD of Israel will hear us and Deliver us speedily into the Wilderness
where we will be encouraged in HIS Ways of Righteousness.

IT IS IN VAIN TO SEEK PROSPERITY AND RELIEF IN THIS
CAPTIVITY!
Our afflictions result
from the curses Our GOD put upon us, and nothing we do will alleviate this
misery in America. And sooner than later, we will all come to know this
truth. The death, sickness, suffering, and despair among us is too great for us to bear. Thus, it is incumbent
upon us to get Our GOD’s attention to hear our supplications and change the
times, in order that we will return to HIM and to our heritage and live according
to HIS Ways of Righteousness. No one lives for the True and Living
GOD. No one is in Jerusalem professing HIS Holy Name and Exalting
HIM. And no one is making the sacrifices and offerings HE loves. IF
things are to change, then we must start the process. After all, we
were formed to show forth GOD’s Praise BUT in the land where HE has ordained
Israelites to serve HIM (Ezekiel 20:40,41), and the
United States has nothing to do with it! In America, Our GOD won’t let us
forget that we were exiled to serve our enemies in their lands for our great
sins against Our Loving GOD that gave us everything and more than that.
When will we wake up to realize the power of our actions.
Our love for our GOD and HIS LAW got us in the land flowing with milk and
honey, and our transgressions against HIM got us enslaved under ruthless
Gentiles. BUT if we use our energies to live according to GOD’s Book of
the Law and appeal to ONLY HIM for Deliverance, rather than succumb to life in
Gentile lands, then we can expect, through GOD’s Blessings, a dramatic change
in our lives.
“HIS Hand is stretched
out still,” and it’s up to us to
determine our destiny. The “Dry Bones” CAN live but only if they will
turn to the Holy ONE of Israel and live by HIS Book of the Law, as it is
written.
“Therefore is the anger of the LORD kindled against
his people,
and he hath stretched forth his hand against them, and
hath smitten them:
and the hills did tremble, and their carcases were torn
in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his
hand is stretched out still.
And he will lift up an ensign to the nations from far,
and will hiss unto them
from the end of the earth: and, behold, they shall come
with speed swiftly:”
Isaiah 5:25,26
“Be ye therefore very courageous to keep and to do all
that is
written in the book of the law of Moses, that ye turn not
aside
therefrom to the right hand or to the left;
“That ye come not among these nations, these that
remain among you;
neither make mention of the name of their gods, nor cause to
swear by them, neither serve them, nor bow yourselves unto them:
“But cleave unto the LORD your God, as ye have done
unto this day.”
Joshua 23:6 - 8
“And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the
voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and
wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none
of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am
the LORD that healeth thee.”

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.
“At that time will I bring you again, even in the time
that I gather you: for I will make you a name and a
praise among all people of the earth,
when I turn back your captivity before your eyes, saith
the LORD.”

A RENEWED MESSAGE TO ALL
MESSIANICS:
GOD’S TRUTH EXPLODES BRILLIANTLY
“For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD,
whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:”
Exodus 34:14
March 2011
In that
JC did not save the Slaves out of Africa and has not saved the descendants of
these Slaves out of this captivity, I ask, pray tell me then at what point is
he supposed to stand up to his name? It
has been well over 2,000 years now and this world of peoples mourn, suffer,
starve, die in the millions at young
ages from sicknesses, impoverishment, malnutrition, and even despair, not to
mention that there is no peace and happiness not even with rich peoples and
nations.
While
this is a serious matter, there is another topic of even greater concern and
import that wholly questions the credibility of the man-god, JC, and the “New
Testament” that idolizes and magnifies him.
Let’s
first look at why the GOD of Israel scattered HIS People, the Children of Israel. Throughout the Hebrew Scriptures, we learn
that the Israelites repeated rejected the CREATOR GOD of Israel for false gods
and rejected HIS Righteous Way of Life.
They knew well that they were forbidden to add other ways of worship to
GOD’s Book of the Law, as well, they could not change
it either. For these reasons the GOD of
Israel said HE would scatter HIS Chosen/Covenant People, the Children of
Israel, throughout the “Four Corners of the Earth” into the hands of their heathenish
enemies. And in these lands, they would
serve gods that are no gods – gods that cannot save.
Now,
here is where the GOD’s Truth explodes brilliantly:
“And
the LORD shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth
even unto the other; and there thou shalt serve other gods, which
neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood and stone. And
among these nations shalt thou find no ease, neither shall the sole of thy foot
have rest: but the LORD shall give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of
eyes, and sorrow of mind:” Deuteronomy
28:64,65
“Assemble
yourselves and come; draw near together, ye that are escaped of the
nations: they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven image, and
pray unto a god thatcannot save.”
Isaiah 45:20
“Therefore
hear, ye nations, and know, O congregation, what is among them. 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. To what purpose cometh there to me incense
from Sheba, and the sweet cane from a far country? your
burnt offerings are not acceptable, nor your sacrifices sweet unto me.
Therefore thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will lay stumblingblocks before
this people, and the fathers and the sons together shall fall upon them; the
neighbour and his friend shall perish. Thus saith the LORD, Behold, a
people cometh from the north country, and a great
nation shall be raised from the sides of the earth. They shall lay hold
on bow and spear; they are cruel, and have no mercy; their voice roareth
like the sea; and they ride upon horses, set in array as men for war against
thee, O daughter of Zion.” Jeremiah
6:18 – 23
“I will
scatter them also among the heathen, whom neither they nor their fathers have
known: and I will send a sword after them, till I have consumed them.” Jeremiah 9:16
“Therefore
will I scatter them as the stubble that passeth away by the wind of the
wilderness.” Jeremiah 13:24
“Blessed
is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.” Jeremiah 17:7
“A
third part of thee shall die with the pestilence, and with famine shall they be
consumed in the midst of thee: and a third part shall fall by the sword round
about thee; and I will scatter a third part into all the winds, and I will draw
out a sword after them.” Ezekiel 5:12
“Yet
will I leave a remnant, that ye may have some
that shall escape the sword among the nations, when ye shall be scattered
through the countries. And they that escape of you shall remember me
among the nations whither they shall be carried captives, because I am broken
with their whorish heart, which hath departed from me, and with their eyes,
which go a whoring after their idols: and they shall loathe themselves for the
evils which they have committed in all their abominations.” Ezekiel 6:8,9
“And
they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall scatter them among the
nations, and disperse them in the countries.”
Ezekiel 12:15
“And
all his fugitives with all his bands shall fall by the sword, and they that
remain shall be scattered toward all winds: and ye shall know that I the LORD
have spoken it.” Ezekiel 17:21
“I
lifted up mine hand unto them also in the wilderness, that I would scatter them
among the heathen, and disperse them through the countries; Because they had not executed my judgments, but had despised
my statutes, and had polluted my sabbaths, and their eyes were after their
fathers' idols.” Ezekiel 20:23,24
“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
10:11
GOD’s
WORD came to pass. HE scattered HIS People into
captivity into the hands of heathens, who even now control this world of savage
evils and untold wickedness, for the Children of Israel defying HIM and for
turning to false gods. And, as HE said
would happen, the Israelites became Slaves and lost their identity. It was at this time that the same
heathens, the people GOD said would be the enemies of HIS rebellious People, took the Israelites (and all Blacks) as Slaves and
converted them to the false religion - Christianity - to ensure that they would
never call upon the GOD of Israel again.
Since the Slave Masters converted Blacks to this false religion, Blacks
have devoted the pagan “Sunday” to worship of singing and praising this
man-god, JC, who has done absolutely nothing to end the misery and suffering of
Black folks. And if they say otherwise,
they delude themselves.
Thus,
since we know that the GOD of Israel said that our wicked forefathers would be
scattered into the hands of our enemies and heathens, then how can Israelites
accept with conviction this religion that our cruel and barbaric captors have
bestowed upon us? Israelites were Commanded to separate themselves from the Canaanites and not
marry them or give their sons and daughters to them in marriage, all because
these people worshipped false gods and lived heathenish lives. And the GOD of Israel knew that once they
joined unto the Canaanites that they would worship their gods and forget HIM
and HIS Righteous Walk of Life.
“And
when the LORD thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them, and
utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor shew mercy
unto them: Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt
not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son. For they
will turn away thy son from following me, that they
may serve other gods: so will the anger of the LORD be kindled against you,
and destroy thee suddenly. But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy
their altars, and break down their images, and cut down their groves, and burn
their graven images with fire. For thou art an
holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a
special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of
the earth.” Deuteronomy 7:2 – 6
Therefore,
if the GOD of Israel said HE would cast us into the hands of our
enemies/heathens (as HE certainly did), the last thing we should do after
coming into the knowledge of HIM and HIS Truth is embrace their religions.
The
Slave Masters had a fool-proof plan for converting their Slaves to
Christianity. It was to make the Slaves believe in life and
freedom in heaven and to continue with their miserable and oppressive fate
without rebellion. The Slave Masters had
tasted economic gain, power, and superiority over Black Peoples, and thus,
their greed and thirst for continued wealth was their every desire and their
reason for living. To have their Slaves
believe in a false god was a welcomed idea, especially if it would advance and
facilitate their agendas. And they knew
that if their Slaves turned to the CREATOR GOD of Moses, that HE would save
them just like HE Delivered the Children of Israel out of their captivity. The Slavers’ Plan worked well, too well,
because now, these Blacks won’t let that fraudulent religion go.
Let
the Children of Israel believe in THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD OF ISRAEL and in the
things we know.
We
know:
- We know that there is but
ONE CREATOR GOD, and HE is the GOD of
Jacob/Israel.
-
The GOD of Israel will gather HIS Covenant People from the “Four Corners of the
Earth”.
-
The GOD of Israel will take HIS People into the Wilderness.
- The GOD of Israel will return the SEED of Jacob to
our heritage that HE promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the people of HIS Name’s Sake.
-
The GOD of Israel is OUR ONLY SAVIOR and REDEEMER!
- ONLY the CREATOR GOD that brought these curses upon
us for our transgressions against HIM has the ability to end the suffering and affliction that we
endure.
- Calling upon the ONE True GOD of Jacob/Israel and
following HIS Ways of Righteousness is our only means of SALVATION.
It is
easy for us to be numbered among the Righteous Remnant, but is only possible if
we are serious and want this with all our heart, soul, and might. And then it will only come to fruition if we
embrace the GOD of Israel and walk HIS Righteous Paths.
“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
“For
I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt
for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee.
“I, even
I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour.” Isaiah 43:3,11
These
are all the more reasons why Israelites who love the GOD of Israel with all
their heart, soul, and might should be striving to leave out of the countries
that hold them in captivity, as well as seek after Our GOD of Israel to again
show HIS Mighty HAND in our DELIVERANCE and our RE-ESTABLISHMENT for HIS Holy
Name’s Sake.
“And
your eyes shall see, and ye shall say, The LORD will be magnified from the
border of Israel.
“For
from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same my name shall
be great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense shall be
offered unto my name, and a pure offering: for my name shall be great
among the heathen, saith the LORD of hosts.”
Malachi 1:5,11
As we
now know all too well, Our GOD of Israel will indeed punish us if we do not
serve and worship ONLY HIM. We should
realize that HE will hold us accountable to the Covenant Joshua and our
forefathers made to serve and make HIM Our GOD.
“Therefore
it shall come to pass, that as all good things are come upon you, which
the LORD your God promised you; so shall the LORD bring upon you all evil
things, until he have destroyed you from off this good land which the LORD your
God hath given you. When ye have transgressed the covenant of the LORD your
God, which he commanded you, and have gone and served other gods, and bowed
yourselves to them; then shall the anger of the LORD be kindled against you,
and ye shall perish quickly from off the good land which he hath given unto
you.” Joshua 23:15,16
Why
believe the JEALOUS GOD of Israel that was against serving and worshipping
other gods is now promoting the worship of this man-god, JC? Where in the Hebrew Scriptures is such a
thing found in HIS WORDS? If the GOD of
Israel was against the worship of other gods when the Israelites were in the
Land of Israel, then for sure HE is against Israelites worshipping false gods
in the lands of their captivity. The
First Commandment makes worship of the ONE GOD of Israel perfectly clear.
“And
God spake all these words, saying, I am the LORD thy God, which
have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Thou shalt not make unto thee any
graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven
above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under
the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for
I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the
fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them
that hate me; And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and
keep my commandments.” Exodus 20:1 - 6
THINK! The CREATOR GOD scattered HIS People from the
Land of Israel for rejecting HIM for false gods! Shouldn’t we be looking to HIM for
Deliverance and for SALVATION?
“Hear the word of the LORD, O ye nations, and declare it
in the isles afar off, and say,
He that scattered Israel will gather him, and keep
him, as a shepherd doth his flock.”
Jeremiah 31:10
“If
ye forsake the LORD, and serve strange gods, then he will turn and do you hurt,
and consume you, after that he hath done you good. And the people said unto
Joshua, Nay; but we will serve the LORD. And Joshua said unto the people, Ye are witnesses against yourselves that ye
have chosen you the LORD, to serve him. And they said, We
are witnesses. Now therefore put away, said he, the
strange gods which are among you, and incline your heart unto the
LORD God of Israel. And the people said unto Joshua, The
LORD our God will we serve, and his voice will we obey. So Joshua made a covenant
with the people that day, and set them a statute and an ordinance in
Shechem. And Joshua wrote these words in the book of the law of God, and took a
great stone, and set it up there under an oak, that was
by the sanctuary of the LORD. And Joshua said unto all the people, Behold,
this stone shall be a witness unto us; for it hath heard all the words of the
LORD which he spake unto us: it shall be therefore a witness unto you, lest ye
deny your God.” Joshua 24:20 - 27
“But
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
22:5
WE (AND
ALL PEOPLES) HAVE GOOD REASON TO HOPE IN THE GOD OF ISRAEL:
“…the
sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the LORD, to serve him, and to
love the name of the LORD, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the
sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant; Even them will I
bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and
their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall
be called an house of prayer for all people. The Lord GOD which
gathereth the outcasts of Israel saith, Yet will I
gather others to him, beside those that are gathered unto him.” Isaiah 56:6 - 8
“…Thus
saith the Lord GOD; Although I have cast them far off among the heathen, and
although I have scattered them among the countries, yet will I be to them as a
little sanctuary in the countries where they shall come. Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even gather you from the
people, and assemble you out of the countries where ye have been scattered, and
I will give you the land of Israel.” Ezekiel 11:16,17
“But
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
22:5
GOD’s WORD IS CLEAR; HE IS OUR
GOD AND SAVIOR!
HENCE, WE DON’T NEED JC!
“And ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.”
Jeremiah 30:22
“Thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I will lift up mine
hand to the Gentiles, and set up my standard to the people: and they shall
bring thy sons in their arms, and thy daughters shall be carried upon their
shoulders. And kings shall be thy nursing fathers,
and their queens thy nursing mothers: they shall bow down to thee with their
face toward the earth, and lick up the dust of thy feet; and thou shalt know
that I am the LORD: for they shall not be ashamed that wait for me. Shall
the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive delivered? But
thus saith the LORD, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and
the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that
contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children. And I will feed them
that oppress thee with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken
with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I the
LORD am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.” Isaiah 49:22 - 26
“Thus saith the LORD, The people which
were left of the sword found grace in the wilderness; even Israel,
when I went to cause him to rest. The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying,
Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness
have I drawn thee. Again I will build thee, and thou shalt be built, O virgin
of Israel: thou shalt again be adorned with thy tabrets, and shalt go forth in
the dances of them that make merry.” Jeremiah 31:2 - 4
“For there shall be a day, that the watchmen
upon the mount Ephraim shall cry, Arise ye, and let us go up to Zion unto
the LORD our God. For thus saith the LORD; Sing with gladness for Jacob, and
shout among the chief of the nations: publish ye, praise ye, and say, O LORD,
save thy people, the remnant of Israel. Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the coasts of the earth,
and with them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her that
travaileth with child together: a great company shall return thither. They
shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them: I will
cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way, wherein they
shall not stumble: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is
my firstborn. Hear the word of the LORD, O ye nations, and declare it
in the isles afar off, and say, He that scattered Israel will gather him,
and keep him, as a shepherd doth his flock.” Jeremiah 31:6 – 10
“For the LORD hath redeemed Jacob, and ransomed him
from the hand of him that was stronger than he. Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of
Zion, and shall flow together to the goodness of the LORD, for wheat, and for wine, and for oil, and for the
young of the flock and of the herd: and their soul shall be as a watered garden;
and they shall not sorrow any more at all. Then shall the virgin rejoice in
the dance, both young men and old together: for I will turn their mourning into
joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow. And I
will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, and my people shall be
satisfied with my goodness, saith the LORD. Thus saith the LORD; A voice
was heard in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter weeping; Rahel weeping for
her children refused to be comforted for her children, because they were
not. Thus saith the LORD; Refrain thy voice from weeping, and thine eyes
from tears: for thy work shall be rewarded, saith the LORD; and they shall come
again from the land of the enemy. And there is hope in thine end, saith the
LORD, that thy
children shall come again to their own border.” Jeremiah 31:11 – 17
“For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather
you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land. Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you,
and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will
I cleanse you. A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put
within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will
give you an heart of flesh. And I will put my spirit
within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my
judgments, and do them. And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to
your fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.” Ezekiel 36:24 - 28
“And they shall say, This
land that was desolate is become like the garden of Eden; and the waste and
desolate and ruined cities are become fenced, and are inhabited.
Then the heathen that are left round about you shall know that I the LORD build
the ruined places, and plant that that was desolate: I the LORD have
spoken it, and I will do it.
Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will yet for this be inquired of
by the house of Israel, to do it for them; I will increase them with men
like a flock. As the holy flock, as the flock of Jerusalem in her solemn
feasts; so shall the waste cities be filled with flocks of men: and they shall
know that I am the LORD.” Ezekiel 36:35 - 38
“…Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the
children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will
gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land: And I will make them one nation in the land upon the
mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be
no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more
at all: Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols,
nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I
will save them out of all their dwelling places, wherein they have sinned, and
will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God. And David my servant shall be king
over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my
judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them. And they shall dwell
in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have
dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, even they, and their children, and
their children's children for ever: and my servant David shall be their
prince for ever. Moreover I will make a
covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and
I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of
them for evermore. My tabernacle also
shall be with them: yea, I will be their God, and they shall be my people. And
the heathen shall know that I the LORD do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary
shall be in the midst of them for evermore.” Ezekiel 37:21 - 28
“And I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the
heathen shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have
laid upon them. So the house of Israel shall know that I am the LORD
their God from that day and forward. And the heathen shall know that the
house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity: because they trespassed
against me, therefore hid I my face from them, and
gave them into the hand of their enemies: so fell they all by the sword. According
to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions have I done unto
them, and hid my face from them. Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Now
will I bring again the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house
of Israel, and will be jealous for my holy name; After that they have borne
their shame, and all their trespasses whereby they have trespassed against me,
when they dwelt safely in their land, and none made them afraid. When
I have brought them again from the people, and gathered them out of their
enemies' lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations; Then
shall they know that I am the LORD their God, which caused them to be
led into captivity among the heathen: but I have gathered them unto their own
land, and have left none of them any more there. Neither will I hide my face
any more from them: for I have poured out my spirit upon the house of Israel,
saith the Lord GOD.” Ezekiel 39:21 – 29
THE JEALOUS GOD OF ABRAHAM,
ISAAC, AND JACOB
WILL HAVE IT NO OTHER WAY!!!
“Give thanks unto the LORD, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people. Sing unto him, sing
psalms unto him, talk ye of all his wondrous works.
Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the
LORD. Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually. Remember his
marvellous works that he hath done, his wonders, and the judgments of his
mouth; O ye seed of Israel his servant, ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
He is the LORD our God; his judgments are in all the earth. Be ye
mindful always of his covenant; the word which he commanded to a
thousand generations; Even of the covenant which he made with Abraham,
and of his oath unto Isaac; And hath confirmed the same to Jacob for a law, and
to Israel for an everlasting covenant, Saying, Unto thee will I give the
land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance; When ye were but few, even a few,
and strangers in it. And when they went from nation to nation, and from one
kingdom to another people; He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he
reproved kings for their sakes, Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do
my prophets no harm. Sing unto the LORD, all the earth; shew forth from day to
day his salvation. Declare his glory among the heathen; his marvellous works
among all nations. For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised: he
also is to be feared above all gods. For all the gods of the people are
idols: but the LORD made the heavens. Glory and honour are in his
presence; strength and gladness are in his place. Give unto the LORD, ye
kindreds of the people, give unto the LORD glory and strength. Give unto the
LORD the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come before
him: worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness. Fear before him, all the
earth: the world also shall be stable, that it be not moved. Let the heavens be
glad, and let the earth rejoice: and let men say among the nations, The
LORD reigneth. Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof: let the fields
rejoice, and all that is therein. Then shall the trees of the wood sing
out at the presence of the LORD, because he cometh to judge the earth. O give
thanks unto the LORD; for he is good; for his mercy endureth for
ever. And say ye, Save us, O God of our salvation, and
gather us together, and deliver us from the heathen, that we may give thanks to
thy holy name, and glory in thy praise. Blessed be the LORD God
of Israel for ever and ever. And all the people said, Amen, and praised the
LORD.

Isaiah 8:16,17
Let us put the Most High GOD of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob/Israel back into
our lives, our hearts, our thoughts, and in everything that we do. Focusing on HIM and HIS Ways, as we come and go
in our daily routines is ever so helpful in maintaining healthy spirits and
acquiring strength and knowledge of HIS Paths of Righteousness. This
attitude certainly helps in making us meek, albeit but not weak, ALL PRAISES
DUE TO THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL.
“Thus saith the LORD

MORE INFORMATION
FOR MESSIANICS AND CHRISTIANS
THAT THEY CANNOT IGNORE
Few people know that the “New
Testament” man, Paul, and his letters to the churches helped to start the
writings of the “New Testament” in approximately 50 and 62 B.C.E. (after the
so-called death of JC). Then, came the so-called
“Gospels” in 70 – 90 B.C.E. But still,
when people do the research, they will find that there were many writers
responsible for the “New Testament” Books – some known and some unknown.
That which believers in the “New
Testament” should realize is that not one of the writers of the “New Testament”
collaborated with the CREATOR GOD or any one of HIS Prophets. And not only that, but this book was not
written with what THUS SAITH THE LORD in mind or according to HIS Ways of
Righteousness. Instead, the “New
Testament” writers made it a point of changing GOD’s Ordinances and inventing a
“New” religion!
During the days when man
contemplated this “New” religion, Christianity, it was Marcion, a ship
owner of Pontus who sought to discard the “Old Testament” altogether because he
found it “REPUGNANT” (How Came The Bible by Edgar J.
Goodspeed, pp. 66). And it was his idea
to establish Christian writings for church service, which thus, in the end,
brought about the “New Testament”. Do
the people who stake their lives on the writings in the “New Testament” know
this? I don’t think so. And they probably don’t know that JC did not
write one word found in the “New Testament”.
How Came The Bible does
not go into detail about the “Virgin Birth”, nevertheless, there is one book
that provides even greater astounding evidence on the fraudulent “New
Testament” writings.
“Jesus Christ wrote no
account of himself, of his birth, parentage, or anything else. Not a line of what is called the New
Testament is of his writing. The history
of him is altogether the work of other people; and as to the account given of
his resurrection and ascension, it was the necessary counterpart to the story
of his birth. His historians, having
brought him into the world in a supernatural manner, were obliged to take him
out again in the same manner or the first part of the story must have fallen to
the ground.” The Book Your Church
Doesn’t Want You to Read, Tim C. Leedom, Editor, pp. 84.
Another interesting fact that
Messianics and Christians must research is “The notion of the Trinity
developed around the second century in response to apparent heresies.” Who
Tampered With the Bible by Pat Eddy, pp. 241. Do you fully comprehend what’s written here? Let me explain. If the idea of belief in a Trinity is
supposed to be so Divine, how is it that it came about
AFTER JC left the scene – in the second century? If there were any truth to this, wouldn’t it
have been more feasible and credible for him to spread this information himself
and better for the CREATOR GOD to make mention of it? But GOD has said nothing about sharing HIS
Supremacy with mere man. Thus, we should
understand just how much of the “New Testament” is really based on the
inspirations and imaginations of mere men who fervently rejected what THUS
SAITH THE LORD and who were hell bent on having a “New Testament” that
reflected a man-god of love and not of Judgment. After reading Who Tampered With the Bible, one will well understand why the
writings in the “New Testament” are comparable to fairy tales, of which in most
cases are better articulated.
And just for the record, all
you Book of Daniel lovers out there should come to realize the controversy
surrounding the dating of this book. Regarding the Old Testament book of Daniel: “The sections of
the book purported to be prophecy were actually written many years after most
of the events took place.
Not only that but they were written cryptically in the manner of
contemporary astrological forecasts to lend credence to the illusion that they
were oracles or prophecies.” Who
Tampered With the Bible, pp. 20
In no way do I profess to be a
scholar on anything, but after reading the Book of Daniel, I could see that
situations written therein did not ring true and do not jibe with the other
books of the “Old Testament” that expound on the WORD OF GOD. For example:
In the “Old Testament” GOD’s Angels deemed their names secret and would
not reveal them. But this is not so with
the Book of Daniel and with the “New Testament”. Both the Book of Daniel and the “New
Testament” have angels whose names are revealed, and thus this makes these
angels and the books suspect. Also,
Daniel’s prayer in Chapter 9 consists of verses out of the prayers of others
and the Psalms in the “Old Testament”.
But here of late, there are
other more pressing issues that raise red flags about the Book of Daniel. Why didn’t Daniel not
return to the Land of Israel to aid in the building of GOD’s Temple as was
GOD’s desire, according to HIS Prophet Haggai? Why was Daniel under scrutiny when there was
a decree (See Ezra 5:13,17;6:1,3) that enabled the
Israelites to return to build the temple, and that people who hindered the
Judahites would be hanged (Ezra 6:11)?
If as the Book of Daniel indicates, that he was around during the days
of both Cyrus and Darius (Daniel 5:31;6:1;6:28;11:1),
why then wasn’t he in correspondence with Ezra and Nehemiah? And given Cyrus’ and Darius’ decrees (Ezra 5th
and 6th Chapters), throwing Daniel into the “lion’s den” was
strictly out of the question.
Getting back to Marcion, what
exactly was it that he found “repugnant” about the “Old Testament” wherein is
the only place to read the WORD of GOD at the mouth of HIS Prophets?
Was Marcion turned off by
the Book of the Psalms wherein are written thousands of verses giving PRAISE
and GLORY to the GOD of Israel and where GOD said every knee would bow to HIM
(Isaiah 43:25)?
Maybe Marcion hated the fact
that the CREATOR GOD chose for HIMSELF a Covenant People? “Israel is my son even my firstborn.”
Could it have been that the
GOD of Israel Commanded that people cannot worship any other god but HIM and
must only CALL UPON and WAIT FOR HIM?
Surely Marcion rejected the
Righteous and “Perfect LAW” that Israelites and Gentiles were Commanded to accept and live to a “thousand generations”.
Perhaps Marcion detested the
CREATOR GOD’s hatred of the evil and the wicked and HIS WORD to JUDGE sinners
and transgressors. “I will punish the
world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will
cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of
the terrible.”
Well, surely all of the above
is what Marcion found so repugnant but most of all, without a doubt he took offense
to being JUDGED, as do all Christians (Matt. 7:1). After all, the CREATOR did kill all
but Noah and his family with a FLOOD because of their wickedness, HE did sink
Sodom and Gomorrah, and HE most certainly did scatter HIS Chosen People for
their disobedience and for worshipping other gods, which is exactly what
Marcion rallied around and helped to perpetuate against the WILL of the Most
High GOD of Israel.
Is that a revelation or
what?
And from what’s written in Isaiah 13:11 and in 11:4, we can see why the
CREATOR once again plans to JUDGE the wicked.
“…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.” Isaiah 11:4
Is it any wonder why the “New
Testament” writers, and only GOD knows who else, were so adamant about
inventing a “New Religion”?
“Even from the days of your
fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return
unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the LORD of hosts. But ye said, Wherein shall we return?”
Malachi 3:7
Isn’t this enough evidence
to reason that the “New Testament” has no credibility?! If not, then
people should consider that there are sixteen (16) other men born of a
virgin who were also considered so-called “Saviours” The World’s
Sixteen Crucified Saviors – “or Christianity before Christ” by Kersey
Graves. They never saved anyone either
or brought “Peace on Earth”. For some
reason, people of old thought this was a really catchy idea to rake in the
naive to believe the best lie ever told.
It kindda worked, too. Two
billion people the world over still believe in this stuff.
That’s the “New Testament”
story in a nutshell Christians should research to learn how their religion came
about. They should also know the real
facts:
FACT: Prophets did
not exist during the days of JC or during the days of the compilation of the
“New Testament”.
“Her gates are sunk into the
ground; he hath destroyed and broken her bars: her king and her princes are
among the Gentiles: the law is no more; her prophets also find
no vision from the LORD.”
Lamentation 2:9
That was about 400 B.C.E. –
approximately 400 years BEFORE the JC “saviour” was supposedly born of a
“virgin”. Thus, these visions that the
“New Testament” and all these preachers tout cannot be from the CREATOR GOD.
FACT: The Children
of Israel were not in the Land of Israel at the time of JC’s supposed “Coming”,
therefore, GOD did not send him to them.
“James, a servant
of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered
abroad, greeting.” James 1:1
FACT: Read and see
how Christianity has changed GOD’s Ordinances for the likes of a “New
Testament” book invented by man to promote belief in a man. And according to the WORD of GOD, nothing
could be further from HIS TRUTH:
“For
Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that
believeth.” Romans 10:4
“But now we are
delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should
serve in newness of spirit, and not inthe oldness of the letter.” Romans 7:6
“But now in Christ
Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. For
he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall
of partition between us; Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even
the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself
of twain one new man, so making peace;” Ephesians 2:13 – 15
“And you, being
dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened
together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; Blotting out the
handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and
took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
“Let no man
therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of
the new moon, or of the sabbath days:”
Colossians 2:13,14,16
“For the law was
given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.” John 1:17
“Jesus saith unto
him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but
by me.” John 14:6
THINK!!!
Where is the wisdom in the
CREATOR waiting thousands of years until the Roman Era to provide the world
with a so-called “Gospel”? The CREATOR GOD presented HIS Righteous Way
of Life in the very BEGINNNG for mankind to follow. If HE hadn’t, Noah would not have been called
a “Righteous” man:
“And the LORD said unto
Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee
have I seen righteous before me in this generation.” Genesis 7:1
Even unto this day, the CREATOR
GOD’s RIGHTEOUSNESS still stands in order that people will know HIM and learn
HIS Righteous Paths to walk, live, and do.
For this reason, I cannot stress GOD’s Book of the Law enough:
“Now therefore hearken, O
Israel, unto the statutes and unto the judgments, which I teach you, for to do them,
that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which the LORD God of your
fathers giveth you. Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you,
neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the
commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.” Deuteronomy 4:1,2
“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 shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have
good success. Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be
not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee
whithersoever thou goest.” Joshua 1:7 - 9
“That thou mayest love
the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou
mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days:
that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to
Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.” Deuteronomy
30:20
“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 Jordan to possess it.” Deuteronomy
32:46,47
“Know therefore that the
LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and
mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand
generations; And repayeth them that hate him to their
face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him that hateth him, he will
repay him to his face. Thou shalt therefore keep the commandments, and the
statutes, and the judgments, which I command thee this day, to do them. Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye
hearken to these judgments, and keep, and do them, that the LORD thy God shall
keep unto thee the covenant and the mercy which he sware unto thy fathers: And
he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: he will also bless
the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy wine, and
thine oil, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep, in the land
which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee. Thou shalt be blessed above
all people: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among
your cattle. And the LORD will take away from thee all sickness,
and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, upon thee;
but will lay them upon all them that hate
thee.” Deuteronomy 7:9 – 15
“Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no
pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way
and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of
Israel? Therefore, thou son of man, say unto the children of thy people,
The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his
transgression: as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall thereby
in the day that he turneth from his wickedness; neither shall the righteous be
able to live for his righteousness in the day that he sinneth.
When I shall say to the
righteous, that he shall surely live; if he trust to his own
righteousness, and commit iniquity, all his righteousnesses shall not be
remembered; but for his iniquity that he hath committed, he shall die for it. Again,
when I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; if he turn
from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right; If
the wicked restore the pledge, give again that he had robbed, walk in the
statutes of life, without committing iniquity; he shall surely live, he shall
not die. None of his sins that he hath committed shall be mentioned unto
him: he hath done that which is lawful and right; he shall surely live.” Ezekiel 33:11 -16
“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. Delight thyself also
in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit
thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it
to pass. And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and
thy judgment as the noonday. Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him:
fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man
who bringeth wicked devices to pass.”
Psalm 37:1 - 7
CLEARLY THE HEBREW SCRIPTURES KNEW NOTHING
ABOUT JC!
FACT: All the above
“New Testament” writings contradict everything the CREATOR GOD exemplifies and
demonstrates and all that HE perpetuated in the ears of HIS Prophets and HIS
People.
“If we have forgotten the
name of our God, or stretched out our hands to a strange god; Shall not God search this out? for
he knoweth the secrets of the heart.” Psalm 44:20,21
“Hear, O my people, and I
will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken
unto me; There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any
strange god. I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land
of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.” Psalm 81:8 -
10
“Yet I am the LORD
thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt know no god but me: for there
is no saviour beside me. I did know thee in the wilderness, in the land of
great drought.” Hosea 13:4,5
Clearly, the teachings of the
“New Testament” are no more a path for people to take to so-called “enter
heaven” than salvation is through belief in JC. Just as JC is an invention of man, so also
is the unfounded idea of Christians or anyone going to Heaven, a concept alien
and unfounded in the WORD of GOD and all the Scripture in the “Old
Testament”. It wasn’t a good
decision for Christianity to promote going to Heaven, as there is nothing in
GOD’s WORD to indicate that man will die and go to Heaven, albeit, the very
opposite. “Death” is a curse, that resulted from the sins in Garden of Eden.
“In the sweat of thy face shalt
thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken:
for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.” Genesis 3:19
“For in death there is
no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?” Psalm 6:5
As righteous as was Samuel in
that GOD was with him and did not let his words fall to the ground (I Sam.
3:19), not even he died and went to Heaven.
“And Samuel said to Saul, Why
hast thou disquieted me, to bring me up? And Saul answered, I am
sore distressed; for the Philistines make war against me, and God is departed
from me, and answereth me no more, neither by prophets, nor by dreams:
therefore I have called thee, that thou mayest make known unto me what I shall
do. Then said Samuel, Wherefore then dost thou ask of me, seeing the
LORD is departed from thee, and is become thine enemy? And the LORD hath
done to him, as he spake by me: for the LORD hath rent the kingdom out of thine
hand, and given it to thy neighbour, even to David: Because thou
obeyedst not the voice of the LORD, nor executedst his fierce wrath upon
Amalek, therefore hath the LORD done this thing unto thee this day. Moreover
the LORD will also deliver Israel with thee into the hand of the Philistines:
and to morrow shalt thou and thy sons be with me:
the LORD also shall deliver the host of Israel into the hand of the
Philistines.” I Samuel 28:15 -19
“For the grave cannot praise
thee, death cannot celebrate thee: they that go down into the pit cannot
hope for thy truth.” Isaiah 38:18
Because of diverse religions,
the world has forgotten the CREATOR GOD and HIS Paths of Righteousness that HE
set forth when HE Created the Heavens and the Earth. And at the end of the day, the CREATOR will
make HIS Righteous LAW HONORABLE!
“The LORD is well pleased
for his righteousness' sake; he will magnify the law, and make it honourable.” Isaiah 42:21
More importantly, this
CREATOR GOD never needed a go between for receiving prayers from people who
chose to seek HIM to make HIM their GOD.
The “New Testament” made all this up.
“Jesus saith unto
him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but
by me.” John 14:6
You see, the CREATOR GOD
thrives on delight in HIM. HE is a JEALOUS GOD whose Holy Name is
JEALOUS, and the last thing this JEALOUS GOD wants is for people to turn to
anyone or anything BUT HIM! The Children
of Israel, HIS Covenant People, were scattered into the world for calling on
other gods. So, why would the CREATOR
GOD tell people to turn to JC, pray to him and to worship him? Given what’s written in GOD’s LAW, at HIS
WORD, and at the WORD of HIS Prophets, this makes no sense at all. THINK!!!
“And Hannah answered and said,
No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit: I have drunk neither
wine nor strong drink, but have poured out my soul before the LORD.” I Samuel 1:15
“In God is
my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is
in God. Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before
him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.” Psalm 62:7,8
“And call upon me in the day
of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.” Psalm 50:15
“When he slew them, then
they sought him: and they returned
and inquired early after God. And they remembered that God was
their rock, and the high God their redeemer.”
Psalm 78:34,35
“O give
thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the
people. Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye
of all his wondrous works. Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them
rejoice that seek the LORD.” Psalm 105:1 - 3
“Look unto me, and be ye
saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none
else.” Isaiah 45:22
“Then shalt thou call, and
the LORD shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here
I am. If thou take away from
the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking
vanity;” Isaiah 58:9
“The spirit of the Lord GOD is
upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the
meek; he hath sent me to bind up the
brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the
prison to them that are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of
the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; To
appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the
oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness;
that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that
he might be glorified.” Isaiah
61:3 - 3
“…Thou shalt call me, My father; and shalt not turn away from me.” Jeremiah 3:19
“Then shall ye call upon me,
and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.” Jeremiah
29:12
“Arise, cry out in the
night: in the beginning of the watches pour out thine heart like water
before the face of the Lord: lift up thy hands toward him for the
life of thy young children, that faint for hunger in the top of every street.” Lamentations
2:19
“For I am the LORD, I
change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. Even from the days of
your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them.
Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the LORD of hosts. But ye
said, Wherein shall we return?” Malachi 3:6,7
“Then they that feared the
LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened,
and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them
that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name. And they shall be mine,
saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare
them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.” Malachi 3:16,17
The “New Testament” writers
disregarded the fact that GOD’s Righteous LAW is FOREVER, and foremost it is
about worshipping HIM and living according to HIS Divine LAW!
“And the statutes, and the
ordinances, and the law, and the commandment, which he wrote for you, ye shall
observe to do for evermore; and ye shall not fear other gods. And the covenant
that I have made with you ye shall not forget; neither shall ye fear other
gods. But the LORD your God ye shall fear; and he shall deliver you out of the
hand of all your enemies.” II Kings 17:37 - 39
“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
Thus, we should
all know that the CREATOR GOD will put HIS LAW in the hearts of HIS
People. AND IT SHOULD BE PERFECTLY
UNDERSTOOD THAT HIS LAW IS ALL ABOUT THE WORSHIP OF HIM, THE CREATOR GOD OF
ISRAEL!
“Behold, the days come, saith
the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with
the house of Judah: Not according to the covenant that I made with their
fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the
land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto
them, saith the LORD: But this shall be the covenant that I will make
with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law
in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and
they shall be my people. And they shall teach no more every man his
neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all
know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for
I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.” Jeremiah 31:31 – 34
“Therefore also now, saith
the LORD, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and
with weeping, and with mourning: And rend your heart, and not your garments,
and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow
to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.” Joel 2:12,13
“I smote you with blasting
and with mildew and with hail in all the labours of your hands; yet ye turned
not to me, saith the LORD. Consider
now from this day and upward, from the four and twentieth day of the ninth month,
even from the day that the foundation of the LORD'S temple was laid,
consider it.” Haggai 2:17,18
“For I am the LORD, I
change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. Even from the days of
your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them.
Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the LORD of hosts. But ye
said, Wherein shall we return?” Malachi 3:6,7
Hence, the “New Testament”
writers and their theology are proved a fraud and are exposed and will not
continue, as this pagan book is not in agreement with GOD’s WORD or the
PROPHECY HE has planned for these latter days.
GOD’s Righteousness is FOREVER, HIS Temple will be rebuilt, and every
knee will bow to HIM. And HIS Covenant
People will be re-established before HIM.
And to HIM every knee of Hebrew Israelites and Gentiles will bow.
“I have sworn by myself, the
word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall
swear.” Isaiah 45:23
“For as the earth bringeth
forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to
spring forth; so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring
forth before all the nations.” Isaiah 61:11
“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
“Thus saith the LORD of
hosts; It shall yet come to pass, that there shall come people,
and the inhabitants of many cities: And the inhabitants of one city
shall go to another, saying, Let us go speedily to pray before the LORD, and to
seek the LORD of hosts: I will go also. Yea, many people and strong nations
shall come to seek the LORD of hosts in Jerusalem, and to pray before the LORD.
Thus saith the LORD of hosts; In those days it shall come to pass, that
ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take
hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you: for we
have heard that God is with you.” Zechariah
8:22
Nowhere is there
any hint of the likes of JC in this mix - NOWHERE!
The extraordinary TRUTH
about GOD’s WORD is that it all jibes:
GOD’s LAW, HIS WORD, and the WORDS of HIS Prophets!
“Behold, I have taught you
statutes and judgments, even as the LORD my God commanded me,
that ye should do so in the land whither ye go to possess it. Keep
therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your
understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these statutes,
and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and
understanding people.” Deuteronomy 4:5,6
“Hear, O Israel: The LORD
our God is one LORD: And thou
shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and
with all thy might.” Deuteronomy 6:4,5
“Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us?
why do we deal treacherously every man against his
brother, by profaning the covenant of our fathers?” Malachi 2:10
“For I am the LORD, I
change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.” Malachi 3:6
And the Land of Israel stands
WITNESS to the fact that the CREATOR GOD of Israel will return to live in the
midst of HIS People, the Children of Israel and establish HIS Ways of
Righteousness, Peace, and Happiness upon HIS Earth!
“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.
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.”
Psalm 37:34 – 36
“For I the LORD love
judgment, I hate robbery for burnt offering;
and
I will direct their work in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with
them.
And their seed shall be known among the Gentiles, and
their offspring among the people: all that see them shall acknowledge them,
that
they are the seed which
the LORD hath blessed.
I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be
joyful in my God;
for
he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me
with
the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with
ornaments,
and
as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.
For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the
garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord GOD
will cause righteousness and praise
to
spring forth before all the nations.”
Isaiah 61:11

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 Jerusalem began
to be dark BEFORE THE SABBATH,” Nehemiah “commanded that the gates should be
shut…” Hence, Nehemiah wanted to prepare for the impending Holy
Seventh Day to be sure that no sins would be committed after sundown, which is
when the Sabbath or Seventh Day would obviously begin. Again, this is
more evidence that the new day begins at sundown/evening/darkness.
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

LORD, that I will do judgment upon her graven images: and through all her land
the wounded shall groan.”

HOLIDAY WARNING FROM LAW ENFORCEMENT
- NOT A JOKE -
THIS PERTAINS TO EVERYONE--MEN INCLUDED.
Warning..!!!! Warning....!!!!
Just last weekend on Friday night we parked in a public parking area. As we
drove away I noticed a sticker on the rear window of the car. When I took it
off after I got home, it was a receipt for gas. Luckily my friend told me not
to stop as it could be someone waiting for me to get out of the car. Then we
received this email yesterday:
'WARNING FROM POLICE' THIS APPLIES TO
BOTH WOMEN AND MEN
BEWARE OF PAPER ON THE BACK WINDOW OF YOUR VEHICLE-- NEW WAY TO DO CARJACKINGS
(NOT A JOKE)
Heads up everyone! Please, keep this circulating. You walk across the parking
lot, unlock your car and get inside. You start the engine and shift into
Reverse. When you look into the rearview mirror to back out of your parking
space, you notice a piece of paper stuck to the middle of the rear window. So,
you shift into Park, unlock your doors, and jump out of your car to remove that
paper (or whatever it is) that is obstructing your view.
When you reach the back of your car, that is when the
carjackers appear out of nowhere, jump into your car and take off. They
practically mow you down as they speed off in your car. And guess what, ladies?
I bet your purse is still in the car. So now the carjacker has your car, your
home address, your money, cell phone and your keys. Your home and your whole
identity are now compromised!
BEWARE OF THIS NEW SCHEME THAT IS NOW
BEING USED.
If you see a piece of paper stuck to your back window, just drive away. Remove
the paper later. And be thankful that you read this e-mail. I hope you will
forward this to friends and family, especially to women.
A purse contains all kinds of personal information and identification
documents, and you certainly do NOT want this to fall into the wrong hands.
Please keep this going and tell all your friends.

[From what I’ve learned about Kim Jong Il, he was a bad man, but his brutality against his people
pales in comparison to the barbaric and inhumane acts of the Slave Masters
around the world, which existed for over 400 years. T.Y., Editor]
***
Kim Jong Il,
mass murderer, do not R.I.P.
Kim Jong Il
The obits for North Korean dictator
Kim Jong Il are filled with details about his weird
personal habits and his country’s nukes, but the history books will reveal him
as one of the great mass murderers of our times.
One of my most chilling journalistic
experiences – in 2004 in South Korea - was interviewing a handful of North
Koreans who had managed to escape to Seoul, and listening to the horrors they’d
endured in their home country. Only a few thousand North Koreans have made it
out, and they bear witness to the terrible suffering that Kim, and his father
Kim Il Sung, inflicted on the North Korean population.
Their crimes are on a par with the autogenocide conducted by Cambodia’s Khmer
Rouge.
Much of the world knows that more than
one million North Koreans perished of starvation in the last decade due to the
regime’s bizarre economic policies. But, because the North Korean regime
seals its own people off from the outside world, and permits only a few
carefully controlled visitors in, Americans are
less aware of North Korea’s death camps. They still reputedly hold 200,000
political prisoners, including many Christians.
The “lucky” prisoners are sentenced to
reeducation, which means they may someday be released if they survive years of
hard labor and torture. But many political prisoners are sentenced to life at
hard labor. Their whole families are deported to the camps, including children
and grandparents. Food rations are minimal, and death by starvation is
common.
On my trip to Seoul, I met one North
Korean woman, whose entire family was suddenly rounded up because her military
officer brother had said something that was interpreted as critical of the
regime. She survived by jumping off the train that was taking the family to the
camp, and making it across the river that divides North Korea from China.
But China will send refugees back if
it catches them, which means imprisonment or death. Female escapees
are often sexually abused inside China. And those North Koreans who make
it to Beijing still face immense hurdles in reaching South Korea; relatively
few eventually make it to Seoul.
On that trip to Seoul, I attended a
church service where North Korean refugees gathered, even those who were not
Christian. Curch emissaries often travel to the North Korean border with China
to help the refugees, and churches provide one of the few welcoming places
where North Koreans can meet. But in talking to these exiles, I felt I was
conversing with dead people walking, with men and women who had endured so much
they were barely alive.
Having lived entirely regimented
lives, North Koreans are often unable to fit into South Korean life. They are
haunted by the certainty that their entire families back home will be punished
for their escape to freedom. And, until recently, the South Korean
government – fearing a huge flood of refugees – was less than welcoming to
those who made it out.
What’s so galling about this mass
murder is that there are no levers to stop it. The only country
with real influence on Pyongyang is China, which is indifferent to human rights
crimes. And the world is more concerned with preventing North Korea from
selling its nuclear material to terrorists or rogue regimes than it is with
closing death camps. Of course, the regime baldly denies the camps exist,
despite the testimony of escapees and the evidence of satellite photos.
But, as Pyongyang “celebrates” Kim’s
supposed achievements, the only North Korean deaths the world should be
mourning are those of his victims. Kim Jong Il’s
obituary should read “Murderer of millions of innocents”. Full
stop.

The
Greatest Crimes of the World’s Most Terrible Dictator
Matt O’Brien
Thomas Stackpole
Jarad Vary
December 20, 2011
The death of North Korea’s “Dear
Leader,” Kim Jong Il, marks the end of his 17 years of
strict control over the starved and crumbling state. While his eccentricities were
often worthy of parody—the overblown legend involving new stars and double
rainbows pronouncing
his birth, thousands of books penned,
and one strikingly good round
of golf—his reign was marked more distinctly by the extreme suffering of
the North Korean people. The totalitarian dictatorship that is now expected to
pass to his youngest son, Kim Jong-un, tortures its own people, has sponsored
acts of terrorism, and maintains the fourth largest army in the world even as
its people regularly face starvation. Here, TNR lists some of the worst crimes
of Kim Jong Il.
1. Kidnapping. Before coming to
power, a young Kim Jong Il had dreams of being a film producer, going so far as
to write a 300-page book, On the Subject of Cinema, in which
he claimed,
“The task set before the cinema today is one of contributing to people’s
development into true communists. … This historic task requires, above all, a
revolutionary transformation of the practice of directing.” In 1978, while
being groomed to inherit the state from his father, he decided to combine these
paths, and orchestrated the kidnapping of the director Shin Sang-ok and his
wife, actress Choi Eun-hee, a power couple of the South Korean film industry.
The two were imprisoned for four years, then pulled from captivity and charged
by Kim with breathing new life into the stagnant Northern cinema, giving form
to his vision. They made six movies before
managing to escape, after being sent to a European film festival.
2. Bombings. Also before rising
to power, Kim Jong Il is suspected of organizing two
major terrorist attacks against South Korea. The first is the 1983 bombing in
Rangoon that was meant to kill the South Korean President, Chun Doo Hwan. Hwan
was running
late, thereby avoiding the attack, but several members of his cabinet were
killed. Four years later, North Korean agents planted bombs on
Korean Air flight 858, killing 115 people, to dissuade attendance to the 1988
Seoul Olympic Games.
3. Gulag. Imagine being sent to
jail because your father was in jail. And that he was in jail because his
father was. And he was in jail because… well, no good reason. That dystopia is
reality in North Korea. In true Stalinist form, Kim Jong Il
turned parts of the state into a giant
gulag, where generations of families arbitrarily deemed enemies of the
state are doomed to forced labor, starvation, and death.
4. Murder? Kim Jong Il’s murderous career may have gotten off to an early start
with a particularly heinous crime: fratricide. While never proved, rumors
abound that the dictator was responsible for his younger brother’s
drowning death. Kim Jong Il was five years old at the
time.
5. Famine. Experts disagree on
the exact number, with credible estimates ranging between 600,000 and
3 million dead. What
no one disputes is the fact that between 1995 and 2000, North Korea’s
population suffered one of the deadliest famines ever. In 1995-96, historic
flooding devastated the country’s
crops and wiped out its grain reserves. But the regime’s misplaced priorities
turned a natural disaster into a human tragedy of epic proportions: While Kim
Jong-Il was building up the world’s 4th largest standing army
and buying the world’s largest
supply of Hennessy cognac, the nation starved.
6. Human Rights Violations.
They live in enclosed pens. They feed on grass and plants. And according to a
report by the Committee for Human Rights in North Korea, an American NGO, they envy farm animals—who
at least enjoy regular meals. They are North Korean refugees who fled to China,
only to be captured and returned home. The unfortunates are confined to
detention centers where they face hard labor, starvation, and torture.
According to HRNK allegations, a particularly grisly fate awaits recaptured
pregnant women: After a medically induced labor, the babies are suffocated, or
simply left outside to die. “When the box was full of babies … it was taken
outside and buried,” said
one refugee who managed to escape.
7. Torpedo attack. It
would have been a casus belli, if the two nations weren’t already at
war. On March 26, 2010, the South Korean Naval vessel Cheonan sank in the Yellow Sea, killing
46 sailors on board. A team of international experts, led by South Korea, concluded that
a torpedo launched by a North Korean submarine was to blame. The UN Security
Council adopted a resolution
strongly condemning the North’s aggression.

Danny Chen Death: Eight U.S. Soldiers Charged After Alleged Taunts Led To Apparent Suicide

NEW YORK — Even before the Army sent him to Afghanistan, supporters say, Pvt. Daniel Chen was fighting a personal war.
Fellow soldiers at a base in Georgia
teased him about his Chinese name, crying out "Chen!" in an
exaggerated Asian accent. They called him "Jackie Chen," a reference
to the Hollywood action star Jackie Chan. People would ask him repeatedly if he
was Chinese, even though he was a native New Yorker.
At one point Chen wrote in his diary
that he was running out of jokes to respond with.
Then he was sent overseas, and the
hazing began: Soldiers dragged him across a floor, pelted him with stones and
forced him to hold liquid in his mouth while hanging upside down, according to
diary entries and other accounts cited by a community activist.
On Oct. 3, the 19-year-old Chen was
found dead in a guardhouse in Afghanistan with what the Army said was
apparently a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
On Wednesday, the Army announced
charges against eight soldiers in his death, saying Chen was a victim of
illegal hazing. Five of those accused were charged with involuntary
manslaughter and negligent homicide. The alleged offenses also included
maltreatment, assault and threats.
The military would not discuss the
exact circumstances surrounding Chen's death. But family members and community
activists said they suspect the bullying may have driven him to suicide.
"Whether suicide or homicide,
those responsible for mistreating Danny are responsible for his death,"
said Elizabeth OuYang, a community activist who is representing his parents,
Chinese immigrants who live near New York City's Chinatown neighborhood.
Attorneys for the defendants could not
immediately be located. The sister of one of them had no comment. Other
relatives could not be reached.
Eugene Fidell, an expert on military
law and former president of the National Institute of Military Justice, said
bullying has been a recurring problem for the military.
"If there was brutality within
the unit, that's a betrayal of the bond of brotherhood," he said.
"That is, in theory, the underpinning of what holds a
military command together."
He added: "Can I imagine somebody
being bullied in the military to the point of taking his or her own life? Yes.
These people are young people. You're at an age of vulnerability as well as
strength."
In 2010, three Army sergeants were
punished after Pvt. Keiffer Wilhelm of Willard, Ohio, killed himself
10 days after arriving in Iraq with a platoon based in Fort Bliss, Texas.
Wilhelm's family said he was being bullied and forced to run for miles with
rocks in his pockets.
Two sergeants were imprisoned for six
months and three months, respectively, on charges of cruelty and maltreatment.
The third was convicted of obstructing justice and given a one-grade reduction
in pay.
Activists said Chen's case has
highlighted the military's poor treatment of Asian-Americans, who remain a tiny
percentage of new recruits even as the percentage of blacks, Hispanics, women
and other groups has grown.
Pentagon officials would not comment
Wednesday on the specifics of the case. But Pentagon spokesman Navy Capt. John
Kirby said hazing is not tolerated.
"That's what this uniform
requires. And when we don't, there's a justice system in place to deal with
it," Kirby said. "That's what we're seeing here in the case of
Private Chen."
The details of Chen's alleged hazing
came from Facebook and email messages, discussions with cousins and a few pages
of Chen's journal released by the Army, OuYang said at a Chinatown news
conference.
Chen's relatives said they were
encouraged by the charges.
"We realize that Danny will never
return, but it gives us some hope," Yen Tao Chen, his father, said through
a translator.
Chen was assigned to the 3rd
Battalion, 21st Infantry Regiment, 1st Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division, based in Fort Wainwright, Alaska.
The Army identified the soldiers charged
as 1st Lt. Daniel J. Schwartz, 25, of Maryland (no hometown was given); Staff
Sgt. Blaine G. Dugas, 35, of Port Arthur, Texas; Staff Sgt. Andrew J. Van
Bockel, 26, of Aberdeen, S.D.; Sgt. Adam M. Holcomb, 29, of Youngstown, Ohio;
Sgt. Jeffrey T. Hurst, 26, of Brooklyn, Iowa; Spc. Thomas P. Curtis, 25, of
Hendersonville, Tenn; Spc. Ryan J. Offutt, 32, of Greenville, Pa.; and Sgt.
Travis F. Carden, 24, of Fowler, Ind.
VanBockel, Holcomb, Hurst, Curtis and
Offutt were charged with the most serious offenses, including involuntary
manslaughter, negligent homicide, and assault and battery.
Offutt's mother, Carol Tate of Sharon,
Pa., told The (Sharon) Herald that she has known about the charges for a while
and has talked to her son.
"I think there's
a lot of things that really haven't been brought up," she said, but
declined further comment.
Schwartz, the only officer among the
accused, was charged with dereliction of duty.
The two most serious charges,
involuntary manslaughter and negligent homicide, carry prison sentences of up
to 10 years and three years, respectively, under military law.
The soldiers are still in Afghanistan
but have been relieved of their duties and confined to a different base, the
military said. The next step is a hearing to determine if there is enough
evidence for a court martial. The proceedings are expected to be held in
Afghanistan.

HANUKKAH
OR CHANUKAH
The eight-day Jewish
celebration known as Hanukkah or Chanukah commemorates the rededication during
the second century B.C. of the Second Temple in Jerusalem, where according to
legend Jews had risen up against their Greek-Syrian oppressors in the Maccabean
Revolt. Hanukkah, which means "dedication" in Hebrew, begins on the
25th of Kislev on the Hebrew calendar and usually falls in November or
December. Often called the Festival of Lights, the holiday is celebrated with
the lighting of the menorah, traditional foods, games and gifts.

History of Hanukkah
The events that inspired the Hanukkah
holiday took place during a particularly turbulent phase of Jewish history.
Around 200 B.C., Judea—also known as the Land of Israel—came under the control
of Antiochus III, the Seleucid king of Syria, who allowed the Jews who lived
there to continue practicing their religion. His son, Antiochus IV Epiphanes,
proved less benevolent: Ancient sources recount that he outlawed the Jewish
religion and ordered the Jews to worship Greek gods. In 168 B.C., his soldiers
descended upon Jerusalem, massacring thousands of people and desecrating the
city’s holy Second Temple by erecting an altar to Zeus and sacrificing pigs
within its sacred walls.
Led by the
Jewish priest Mattathias and his five sons, a large-scale rebellion broke out
against Antiochus and the Seleucid monarchy. When Matthathias died in 166 B.C.,
his son Judah, known as Judah Maccabee (“the Hammer”), took the helm; within
two years the Jews had successfully driven the Syrians out of Jerusalem,
relying largely on guerilla warfare tactics. Judah called on his followers to
cleanse the Second Temple, rebuild its altar and light its menorah—the gold
candelabrum whose seven branches represented knowledge
and creation and were meant to be kept burning every night.
The
Hanukkah "Miracle"
According to the Talmud, one of
Judaism’s most central texts, Judah Maccabee and the other Jews who took part
in the rededication of the Second Temple witnessed what they believed to be a
miracle. Even though there was only enough untainted olive oil to keep the
menorah’s candles burning for a single day, the flames continued flickering for
eight nights, leaving them time to find a fresh supply. This wondrous event
inspired the Jewish sages to proclaim a yearly eight-day festival. (The first
Book of the Maccabees tells another version of the story, describing an
eight-day celebration that followed the rededication but making no reference to
the miracle of the oil.)
Other
Interpretations of the Hanukkah Story
Some modern historians offer a
radically different interpretation of the Hanukkah tale. In their view,
Jerusalem under Antiochus IV had erupted into civil war between
two camps of Jews: those who had assimilated into the dominant culture that
surrounded them, adopting Greek and Syrian customs; and those who were
determined to impose Jewish laws and traditions, even if by force. The
traditionalists won out in the end, with the Hasmonean dynasty—led by Judah
Maccabee’s brother and his descendants—wresting control of the Land of Israel
from the Seleucids and maintaining an independent Jewish kingdom for more than
a century.
Jewish scholars have also suggested
that the first Hanukkah may have been a belated celebration of Sukkot, which
the Jews had not had the chance to observe during the Maccabean Revolt. One of
the Jewish religion’s most important holidays, Sukkot consists of seven days of
feasting, prayer and festivities.
Hanukkah Traditions
The Hanukkah celebration revolves
around the kindling of a nine-branched menorah, known in Hebrew as the
hanukiah. On each of the holiday’s eight nights, another candle is added to the
menorah after sundown; the ninth candle, called the shamash
(“helper”), is used to light the others. Jews typically recite blessings during
this ritual and display the menorah prominently in a window as a reminder to
others of the miracle that inspired the holiday.
In another allusion to the Hanukkah
miracle, traditional Hanukkah foods are fried in oil. Potato pancakes (known as
latkes) and jam-filled donuts (sufganiyot) are particularly popular in many
Jewish households. Other Hanukkah customs include playing with four-sided spinning
tops called dreidels and exchanging gifts. In recent decades, particularly in
North America, Hanukkah has exploded into a major commercial phenomenon,
largely because it falls near or overlaps with Christmas. From a religious
perspective, however, it remains a relatively minor holiday that places no
restrictions on working, attending school or other activities.

Kwanzaa – A Celebration
of African
Culture
December 26,
2011 7:54 am by lainad in Race and Ethnicity
[Editor's Note: The seven-day
festival of Kwanzaa begins on December 26. What's Kwanzaa, you ask? Well, read
on! Laina Dawes explains the basics of this celebration of African culture.
--Grace]
The seven-day celebration of Kwanzaa (December 26-January
1) carries many different meanings to many people. It is a time for both black
folks to celebrate their cultural heritage, and for non-blacks to enjoy this
African-inspired festive season. Like many holidays, those who
acknowledge Kwanzaa (meaning ‘first fruits of the harvest’) use the week to
spend quality time with friends and family but more importantly, it serves as a
unifier within the black community. As the culturally-based holiday does not
carry any religious connotations, perhaps this is one of the reasons for the
growing popularity of this holiday, which is not officially recognized by the
States.

With the emphasis on celebrating
African culture, it is also a time when people can celebrate their heritage a
time to “reinforce the bonds between us” -especially in the United States where
a large portion of black Americans have cultural ties to Africa, yet because of
the legacy of slavery, know little about the continent. Even though the holiday
was conceived on American soil, emphasis is placed on the promotion that
Kwanzaa be celebrated globally, as one of the reasons for the creation of this
holiday was to serve as a unifier between people of African decent, regardless
of cultural differences and / or origin of birth. Founded in 1966 by Maulana
(Ron) Karenga in California, the holiday was created around Kawaida, referred to as a
‘cultual nationalistic’ philosophy that stresses the acknowledgement and the
challenges of knowing one’s culture – something that I guess that founder
Karenga, who lived in California at the time, felt that African-Americans desperately
needed to acknowledge during that era. Using the Nguzo Saba (seven principles),
each one which represents and is to be observed on each day of the holiday, are used to acknowledge the reinforcement and buildings of
the black family. Here are the principles from Everything About
Kwanzaa:
• Umoja (oo-MO-jah) Unity stresses
the importance of togetherness for the family and the community, which is
reflected in the African saying, "I am We,"
or "I am because We are." • Kujichagulia
(koo-gee-cha-goo-LEE-yah) Self-Determination requires that we define our common
interests and make decisions that are in the best interest of our family and
community. • Ujima (oo-GEE-mah) Collective Work and Responsibility reminds us
of our obligation to the past, present and future, and that we have a role to
play in the community, society, and world. • Ujamaa (oo-JAH-mah) Cooperative
economics emphasizes our collective economic strength and encourages us to meet
common needs through mutual support. • Nia (NEE-yah) Purpose encourages us to
look within ourselves and to set personal goals that are beneficial to the
community. • Kuumba (koo-OOM-bah) Creativity makes use of our creative energies
to build and maintain a strong and vibrant community. • Imani (ee-MAH-nee) Faith
focuses on honoring the best of our traditions, draws upon the best in
ourselves, and helps us strive for a higher level of life for humankind, by
affirming our self-worth and confidence in our ability to succeed and triumph
in righteous struggle.
In order to start the holiday right,
some fast for about a week before
December 26th. After that, it is time to party! Check out some of these
traditional foods served during Kwanzaa: Koki, an appetizer of mashed
black-eyed peas steamed in banana leaves; Peanut Soup Okra and Greens Coconut Pie Green Tea with Mint As with
many holidays, there is quite a fair bit of criticism about Kwanzaa, partly
because it a relatively new holiday. There is a fair bit of controversy
surrounding founder Karenga and his ties to a Black Nationalist party during
the Civil Rights era, during which he reportedly held some Anti-Semitic
beliefs. One of the other issues is that Kwanzaa is thought to be a ‘secular’
holiday – that only blacks can celebrate it ( on a side note, when researching
for this post it was amazing how many websites I came across that called the
holiday racist – and some other rather unflattering language). There is a
growing concern that Kwanzaa is becoming too commercialized which is
more of a concern than you would think, as Kwanzaa is considered a cultural
practice, which in theory no

Indigenous Declaration for Freedom
Atlanta, Georgia, North America December 2011
– Harvey Ricky White II, member of one of the oldest families of landholding
North America Inhabitants that pre date the creation of the States of Union,
and United States of America, Officially Declare Independence from United
States of America
The United States of America has abandon
the principles of its Organic Constitution, Declaration of Independence, and
Bill of Rights. Presidents, Governors, Mayors give Execute Orders, powers that
was not legally given to them by Constitution, or the People, The Governments
operate/assist in Racketeering Enterprises and Ponzi Schemes in Healthcare,
Debt Financing, Debt Collections. Mortgage
Foreclosures, Crony Capitalism, and corruption runs rampant among Congress,
Banking, Pharmaceutical, and other Industries nationwide.
Presidents have become dictators that start and finance wars at
will, without Congress or Peoples approval. The President has assassinated
American Citizens on hear say, without charges, or trial, and plans on using
Military to Police and arrest Americans, on American Soil; which is against
Constitution Of The United States of America.
America's legal system is corrupt and racist, and Law Enforcement
is out of control, murdering, tasering, beating, torturing unarmed People. Most
importantly, every Right that is guarantee by a persons' God, and the Founding
Documents of the United States of America, has been trampled over, and these
Rights have been denied by the Federal and State Governments.
Harvey Ricky White II, I am a descendent of one of the Indigenous
North American Hebrew mixed raced landholding families that pre date the
creation of the thirteen original colonies, the States of the Union, and the
United States of America; from proprietary property known as the Granville
District. The Granville District was not own by any King of Europe, or part of
the Colony of Carolina. The Granville District was settled by my Great Great
Great Grandmother's People over 3000 years ago, and no Title has ever been
granted to any King, Country, State, Colony or Pope by the authentic landowners
of this continent.
The Granville District consist of North Carolina, South Carolina,
Georgia, Panhandle and northeast Florida, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, all
of Louisiana north of New Orleans, all of Texas north of Houston, Arkansas, New
Mexico, Oklahoma, all of California south of San Jose, all of Nevada south of
Las Vegas.
Our existence in North America or Western Hemisphere has been
depressed since 1492. We have been stranded on this continent since the reign
of Solomon and fall of Jerusalem, and have been co-existing
in North America with the aboriginal Olmecs and their Indigenous sub tribes for
several thousand years. Archeological artifacts from northeast, southeast,
Midwest and southwest North America shows evidence of our occupation as stewards
of theses land.
Europeans and American enslaved us, and tried to breed us out of
existence by mixing us with Olmec sub tribes, and a few imported African to
hide the fact that when European Christians came to the New World, the
biological Hebrews, of the Bible, the source of the European Christians
religion had been here in North America, thriving for millenniums; and did not
and do not look like the converted to Judaism Khazars/Ashkenazi, descendents of
Japheth that has been pretending in Europe, to be the biological Hebrew of the
Bible for over an thousand years
As of July 4, 2011, Notice of Declaration of Independence from me
went out to embassies worldwide.
Pursuant to the Preamble 1776 Declaration of Independence of the
United States of America; ties to the United States of America and States of
the Union have been Dissolved. Principality of
Granville established.
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one
people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another,
and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to
which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to
the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which
impel them to the separation.
Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers
from the consent of the governed, That whenever any
Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the
People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government.
But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing
invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute
Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government,
and to provide new Guards for their future security.
This Documents serves as your Official Notice to United States,
United States of America, all States occupying the Granville District and all
other States of the Union, that consent to be govern by you have been revoked,
and its within our Right to alter or abolish, and institute new Government, as
stated in the US Declaration of Independence, in accordance with the United
Nations' Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, ILO Indigenous and
Tribal Peoples Convention (No. 169) , the Universal Declaration of Human
Rights.
Under International Law, I have the right to self-determination,

treaties, agreements and other constructive arrangements concluded with States or
their successors and to have States honor and respect such treaties, agreements

restricts states from exercising jurisdiction over vessels in their territorial
waters.
Please inform your officers and

Secret Accounts of Iraq
Massacre Found in Junk Yard
Wednesday 14 December 2011
by: Michael S. Schmidt, The New York Times
News Service | Report
Baghdad
- One by one, the Marines sat down, swore to tell the truth and began to give
secret interviews discussing one of the most horrific episodes of America’s
time in Iraq: the 2005 massacre by Marines of Iraqi civilians in the town of
Haditha.
“I mean, whether it’s a
result of our action or other action, you know, discovering 20 bodies, throats
slit, 20 bodies, you know, beheaded, 20 bodies here, 20 bodies there,” Col.
Thomas Cariker, a commander in Anbar Province at the time, told investigators as he described the
chaos of Iraq. At times, he said, deaths were caused by “grenade attacks on a
checkpoint and, you know, collateral with civilians.”
The
400 pages of interrogations, once closely guarded as secrets of war, were
supposed to have been destroyed as the last American troops prepare to leave
Iraq. Instead, they were discovered along with reams of other classified
documents, including military maps showing helicopter routes and radar
capabilities, by a reporter for The New York Times at a junkyard outside
Baghdad. An attendant was burning them as fuel to cook a dinner of smoked carp.
The
documents — many marked secret — form part of the military’s internal
investigation, and confirm much of what happened at Haditha, a Euphrates River
town where Marines killed 24 Iraqis, including a 76-year-old man in a
wheelchair, women and children, some just toddlers.
Haditha
became a defining moment of the war, helping cement an enduring Iraqi distrust
of the United States and a resentment that not one
Marine has been convicted.
But
the accounts are just as striking for what they reveal about the extraordinary
strains on the soldiers who were assigned here, their frustrations and their
frequently painful encounters with a population they did not understand. In
their own words, the report documents the dehumanizing nature of this war,
where Marines came to view 20 dead civilians as not “remarkable,” but as
routine.
Iraqi civilians were being
killed all the time. Maj. Gen. Steve Johnson, the commander of American forces
in Anbar, in his own testimony, described it as “a
cost of doing business.”
The
stress of combat left some soldiers paralyzed, the testimony shows. Troops, traumatized by the rising violence and feeling constantly
under siege, grew increasingly twitchy, killing more and more civilians in
accidental encounters. Others became so desensitized and inured to the killing
that they fired on Iraqi civilians deliberately while their fellow soldiers
snapped pictures, and were court-martialed. The bodies piled up at a time when
the war had gone horribly wrong.
Charges
were dropped against six of the accused Marines in the Haditha episode, one was
acquitted and the last remaining case against one Marine is scheduled to go to
trial next year.
That
sense of American impunity ultimately poisoned any chance for American forces
to remain in Iraq, because the Iraqis would not let them stay without being
subject to Iraqi laws and courts, a condition the White House could not accept.
Told
about the documents that had been found, Col. Barry Johnson, a spokesman for
the United States military in Iraq, said that many of the documents remained
classified and should have been destroyed. “Despite the way in which they were
improperly discarded and came into your possession, we are not at liberty to
discuss classified information,” he said.
He
added: “We take any breach of classified information as an extremely serious
matter. In this case, the documents are being reviewed to determine whether an
investigation is warranted.” The military said it did not know from which
investigation the documents had come, but the papers appear to be from an
inquiry by Maj. Gen. Eldon Bargewell into the events in Haditha. The documents
ultimately led to a report that concluded that the Marine Corps’s chain of
command engaged in “willful negligence” in failing to investigate the episode
and that Marine commanders were far too willing to tolerate civilian
casualties. That report, however, did not include the transcripts.
Under Pressure
Many
of those testifying at bases in Iraq or the United States were clearly under
scrutiny for not investigating an atrocity and may have tried to shape their
statements to dispel any notion that they had sought to cover up the events.
But the accounts also show the consternation of the Marines as they struggled
to control an unfamiliar land and its people in what amounted to a constant
state of siege from fighters who were nearly indistinguishable from
noncombatants.
Some,
feeling they were under attack constantly, decided to use force first and ask
questions later. If Marines took fire from a building, they would often level
it. Drivers who approached checkpoints without stopping were assumed to be
suicide bombers.
“When a car doesn’t stop,
it crosses the trigger line, Marines engage and, yes, sir, there are people
inside the car that are killed that have nothing to do with it,” Sgt. Maj.
Edward T. Sax, the battalion’s senior noncommissioned officer, testified.
He
added, “I had Marines shoot children in cars and deal with the Marines
individually one on one about it because they have a hard time dealing with
that.”
Sergeant
Major Sax said he would ask the Marines responsible if they had known there had
been children in the car. When they said no, he said he would tell them they
were not at fault. He said he felt for the Marines who had fired the shots,
saying they would carry a lifelong burden.
“It
is one thing to kill an insurgent in a head-on fight,” Sergeant Major Sax
testified. “It is a whole different thing — and I hate to say it, the way we
are raised in America — to injure a female or injure a child or in the worse
case, kill a female or kill a child.”
They
could not understand why so many Iraqis just did not stop at checkpoints and
speculated that it was because of illiteracy or poor eyesight.
“They don’t have glasses
and stuff,” Col. John Ledoux said. “It really makes you wonder
because some of the things that they would do just to keep coming. You know,
it’s hard to imagine they would just keep coming, but sometimes they do.”
Such
was the environment in 2005, when the Marines from Company K of the Third
Battalion, First Marine Regiment from Camp Pendleton, Calif., arrived in Anbar
Province, where Haditha is located, many for their second or third tours in
Iraq.
The
province had become a stronghold for disenfranchised Sunnis and foreign
fighters who wanted to expel the United States from Iraq, or just kill as many
Americans as possible. Of the 4,483 American deaths in Iraq, 1,335 happened in
Anbar.
In
2004, four Blackwater contractors were gunned down and dragged through the
streets of Falluja, their bodies burned and hung on a bridge over the
Euphrates. Days later, the United States military moved into the city, and
chaos ensued in Anbar Province for the next two years as the Americans tried to
fight off the insurgents.
The
stress of combat soon bore down. A legal adviser to the Marine unit stopped
taking his medication for obsessive-compulsive disorder and stopped
functioning.
“We had the one where
Marines had photographed themselves taking shots at people,” Col. R. Kelly testified, saying that they immediately
called the Naval Criminal Investigative Service and “confiscated their little
camera.” He said the soldiers involved received a court-martial.
All
of this set the stage for what happened in Haditha on Nov. 19, 2005.
A Tragedy Ensues
That
morning, a military convoy of four vehicles was heading to an outpost in
Haditha when one of the vehicles was hit by a roadside bomb.
Several
Marines got out to attend to the wounded, including one who eventually died,
while others looked for insurgents who might have set off the bomb. Within a
few hours 24 Iraqis — including a 76-year-old man and children between the ages
of 3 and 15 — were killed, many inside their homes.
Townspeople
contended that the Marines overreacted to the attack and shot civilians, only
one of whom was armed. The Marines said they thought they were under attack.
When
the initial reports arrived saying more than 20 civilians had been killed in
Haditha, the Marines receiving them said they were not surprised by the high
civilian death toll.
Chief
Warrant Officer K. R. Norwood, who received reports from the field on the day
of the killings and briefed commanders on them, testified that 20 dead
civilians was not unusual.
“I
meant, it wasn’t remarkable, based off of the area I wouldn’t say remarkable,
sir,” Mr. Norwood said. “And that is just my definition. Not that I think one
life is not remarkable, it’s just —”
An
investigator asked the officer: “I mean remarkable or noteworthy in terms of
something that would have caught your attention where you would have
immediately said, ‘Got to have more information on that. That is a lot of
casualties.’ ”
“Not
at the time, sir,” the officer testified.
General
Johnson, the commander of American forces in Anbar Province, said he did not
feel compelled to go back and examine the events because they were part of a
continuing pattern of civilian deaths.
“It happened all the time,
not necessarily in MNF-West all the time, but throughout the whole country,”
General Johnson testified, using a military
abbreviation for allied forces in western Iraq.
“So,
you know, maybe — I guess maybe if I was sitting here at Quantico and heard
that 15 civilians were killed I would have been surprised and shocked and gone
— done more to look into it,” he testified, referring to Marine Corps Base
Quantico in Virginia. “But at that point in time, I felt that was — had been,
for whatever reason, part of that engagement and felt that it was just a cost
of doing business on that particular engagement.”
When
Marines arrived on the scene to assess the number of dead bodies, at least one
Marine thought it would be a good time to take pictures for his own keeping.
“I
know I had one Marine who was taking pictures just to take pictures and I told
him to delete all those pictures,” testified a first lieutenant identified as
M. D. Frank.
The
documents uncovered by The Times — which include handwritten notes from
soldiers, waivers by Marines of their right against self-incrimination,
diagrams of where dead women and children were found, and pictures of the site
where the Marine was killed by a roadside bomb on the day of the massacre —
remain classified.
In
a meeting with journalists in October, before the military had been told about
the discovery of the documents, the American commander in charge of the
logistics of the withdrawal said that files from the bases were either
transferred to other parts of the military or incinerated.
“We
don’t put official paperwork in the trash,” said the commander, Maj. Gen.
Thomas Richardson, at the meeting at the American Embassy in Baghdad.
The
documents were piled in military trailers and hauled to the junkyard by an
Iraqi contractor who was trying to sell off the surplus from American bases,
the junkyard attendant said. The attendant said he had no idea what any of the
documents were about, only that they were important to the Americans.
He
said that over the course of several weeks he had burned dozens and dozens of
binders, turning more untold stories about the war into ash.
“What
can we do with them?” the attendant said. “These things are worthless to us,
but we understand they are important and it is better to burn them to protect
the Americans. If they are leaving, it must mean their work here is done.”

Occupy the Police State
Thursday 8
December 2011
by: Jason Leopold,
Truthout | Report
Police
officers in riot gear form a line near Occupy Los Angeles protesters outside
City Hall in Los Angeles, November 30, 2011. This image is nearly identical to
the one taken in Pittsburgh two years earlier that appears on the cover of
author Andrew Kolin's new book, "State Power and Democracy." (Photo:
Ted Soqui / The New York Times)
The photograph
on the cover of Andrew Kolin's book is all too familiar.
Police
officers dressed in riot gear, gripping batons, square
off against protesters in what appears to be a tense situation that is on the
brink of turning violent. Although the photograph was shot during a protest on
the streets of Pittsburgh 2009, it's an image that is now seared into the
public's consciousness following the brutal crackdowns by local law enforcement
on the Occupy movement in Oakland and New York City last month.
Important
questions have been raised about what role, if any, the federal government has
played in dismantling the Occupy encampments around the country and what the
protesters and civil liberties groups say is ultimately an attempt to stifle dissent.
While
we wait for those answers, Kolin, a political science professor at Hilbert
College in Buffalo, New York, has done a masterful job of tracing the origins
of the "political repression of mass-based movements" and the rise of
the "police state" in his exhaustively researched book, "State
Power and Democracy: Before and During The Presidency of George W. Bush."
(Click here to read an excerpt.)
In an
interview with Truthout, Kolin said, all police states, "and Germany in
the [1930s] is the classic example," develop by "crushing
democracy."
The goal of a
police state, Kolin said, is to "modernize state functions and concentrate
control over society through the creation of specialized departments."
It was
Watergate, Kolin said, that became a "dress rehearsal" for the police
state under which US citizens currently live.
"There
was cause for optimism with the Church Committee hearings exposing the
criminality of the Nixon administration," Kolin said. "But again, as
I discuss in my book, the reform that came out of the Church Committee that
actually made a police state more possible was the creation of the secret
[Foreign Intelligence Surveillance] court, which for the first time, made
government surveillance legal. Then, president after president sought to
reassert their power post-Watergate in domestic and foreign policy."
In the
introduction to "State Power," Kolin explains how the national
security policies implemented by Bush and embraced by Obama, such as the
Patriot Act, which authorized the warrantless wiretapping of US citizens, were
the culmination of extraordinary tension between state power and democracy
dating back to the founding of the Republic.
The expansion
of state power over the course of US history came at the expense of democracy.
As state power grew, there developed a disconnect
between the theory and practice of democracy in the United States. Ever-greater
state power meant it became more and more absolute. This resulted in a
government that directed its energies and resources toward silencing those who
dared question the state's authority. Such questioning of state power had
emanated as a response to mass-based political movements striving to further
democracy with an increase in freedom, especially for the downtrodden. This put
mass movements in direct confrontation with the elite politics of policy
makers. So, over time, as the US government continued on its course of seeking
to increase state power by extending ever-greater control over people and
territory, it also meant it worked toward a goal to diminish mass-based
political movements.
This is an
important history lesson, especially for the generation who
became politically aware during Bush's presidency and view the crackdown
on the Occupy protests as somewhat unprecedented.
Kolin argues
that the roots of such "political repression" can be traced back to
the end of the Revolutionary War, beginning with "the conquest of North
America and by the start of the twentieth century," when the US government
began to implement policies "intended to eliminate democracy inside and
outside the United States."
"It is no
coincidence that as the state enacted measures to crush democracy, there
appeared federal agencies with an antidemocractic mission...," Kolin
writes. "Nonetheless, political repression ebbed and flowed, often
determined by historical factors and the ability of progressive movements to
affect social change during periods of unrest."
Kolin said the
leaderless Occupy movement, like political uprisings in the US that preceded
it, has a simple goal: "the excluded seeking to be included, which is the
one thing standing in the way of mass democracy."
"It's
eerily disturbing how history is once again repeating itself," Kolin said,
as he watches law enforcement, which he noted is beginning to look increasingly
"like a civilian branch of the military," and local
government officials are "trampling upon the rights of citizens and doing
so in ways that are becoming more violent," in order to "repress
dissent."
A
report published earlier this week by Business Insider may help explain why
local police forces are beginning
to appear more and more militarized.
Credit
a "little-known endeavor called the '1033 Program' that gave more
than $500 million of military gear to U.S. police forces in 2011 alone,"
Business Insider reported.
1033 was
passed by Congress in 1997 to help law-enforcement fight terrorism and drugs,
but despite a 40-year low in violent crime, police are snapping up hardware
like never before. While this year's staggering take topped the charts, next
year's orders are up 400 percent over the same period.
This
upswing coincides with an increasingly military-like style of law enforcement
most recently seen in the Occupy
Wall Street crackdowns.
One
member of Congress, however, is speaking up about police tactics used against
protesters. On Tuesday, Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-New York), the ranking member on
the House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution, sent a letter to Attorney
General Eric Holder urging him to launch a full-scale investigation "into law enforcement
activities surrounding the Occupy Wall Street protests and similar events in
other cities, to determine whether the unlawful use of force, or the unlawful
targeting of individuals [via surveillance] based on their participation in
constitutionally protected activities, occurred."
Still,
Kolin is highly critical of the Obama administration for remaining completely
silent as disturbing images of peaceful protesters, such as the University of
California, Davis, students who were pepper sprayed by campus police as they sat with their arms
linked, flashed across television screens and went viral on the Internet.
"We don't
want a government that is representative of the one percent," Kolin said.
"But the silence by this administration speaks volumes and indicates, to
me, that this is a movement the government wants to crush."
However,
"in spite of political repression on the federal, state, and local levels,
for much of the twentieth century," Kolin writes in "State
Power," "many mass-based movements persisted for two reasons: one,
they appealed to many Americans, and two, as political repression was mounted
against these movements, eventually the government believed that the political
crisis that triggered such movements had ended."
Kolin admits
that he had believed Obama would eventually "correct the self-destruction
of the Bush police state through piecemeal reforms" after he was sworn
into office nearly three year ago.
Instead,
Obama's executive power grab went further. To cite one example, the president
authorized the targeted assassination of a US citizen living in Yemen, Anwar
al-Awlaki, who was suspected of inspiring failed terrorist attacks against the
US and being a top member of al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. Awlaki, despite
his US citizenship, was not entitled to due process under the Constitution, the
administration concluded.
Kolin said
Awlaki's assassination underscores one of the problems with a two-party system:
Democrats and Republicans "fall in line when it comes down to certain
issues."
"Democrats
march in lockstep with their Republican counterparts," Kolin said.
"We saw that during the Bush administration and we're seeing it again when
it comes to economic and national security issues under Obama. I don't see much
difference between the two parties. I really don't. Obama has proven to be just
like his predecessors. He's interested in the powers he inherited from Bush and
the new powers he acquired. And he continues to fulfill the wishes of Wall
Street and the financial backers who bankrolled his election."
Kolin said the
struggle for economic democracy will form the basis of his future
research.
"One
cannot have political democracy in the absence of economic democracy," he
said. "By that, I mean that without worker control of the workplace,
political decisions will continue to be made by the economic elite."
In the
meantime, he believes the erosion of the police state, where "mass based
democracy, which rules for the masses, not political and economic elites,"
is still a possiblity and he sees the Occupy movement playing a crucial role.
"Keep in
mind that police states are by their inherent nature dysfunctional," Kolin
said. "The Occupy movement is hope of a return to mass democracy as a
countervailing force to the police state and to it's
possible breakdown."

MY PERSPECTIVE AND REACTION
TO
THE UN 2011, INTERNATIONAL YEAR FOR PEOPLE OF AFRICAN
DESCENT
February 1, 2011
I ask that you bear with me,
and the reason is that many of you do not espouse to my Spirituality. Regardless, my heartfelt desires and concerns
are for all people of color, and that we must speak in behalf of ALL Blacks who
are persecuted, oppressed, and suffering in this present world system. And because of my Spirituality, it is my
conviction and staunch belief that true FREEDOM, RESETTLEMENT elsewhere (for
those who want it), and REPARATIONS will be acquired and manifest through the
WORKS of the CREATOR GOD – the same GOD that SAVED the Children of Israel out
of Egyptian bondage. Just in case you
never noticed, our predicaments are very much the same. The difference is that there has not been a
mandate stating, “Every son that is born ye shall cast into the river”. Nevertheless, there are covert instructions
to judge Black males and Black females even for the smallest crimes and order
them to jail for life. And let’s not
even go into the racial profiling that can get Blacks shot to death or landed
in jail on trumped up charges. Yes, I am
fighting for Blacks to be free of this racism and for REPARATIONS for Blacks
all over the world for this heinous Slave Trade, which was a crime against
Blacks that has us still suffering. So,
whether you agree with my Spirituality or not, we can come together for the
betterment, self-determination, and empowerment of all Black peoples in order
that our children will not have to endure this present world order that keeps
us in darkness, in captivity, and under White control.
***
Before writing my perspective
to the United Nations’ Resolution concerning the 2011 International Year for
People of African Descent, I read through many documents and E-mails
related to our fight against racism and our battle for Reparations. Although there are diverse ideals about how
to attain Reparations, it is good that the great majority of us speak out and
believe that we are justified in seeking it.
That which is of great import is that we are once again on the road to
make this struggle come to fruition. And
this time, we cannot be slow to act, and we certainly cannot give up the
fight.
My platform and focus is
that we be more aggressive in placing blame, which clearly falls on Colonial
and U.S. governments for this cruel and barbaric Slave Trade in which 100
million Blacks died enroute to slave castles, while awaiting slave ships,
during the Middle Passage and in the lands of the Slavers. The United States is to be blamed also for
the lynchings and thousands of injustices that
followed unto this day without bringing the criminals to justice. We must also focus on our FREEDOM and
“release” from the grips of a system that has taken our forebears in chains and
yokes out of Africa and completely ethnically cleansed us of our roots. Next, we are within our human rights to have
the government start RESETTLEMENT proceedings and REPARATIONS to meet the above
objectives. Whatever your concerns, keep
the audacity to hope for FREEDOM, RESETTLEMENT, and REPARATIONS alive in these
United States and in all countries and governments that stole Blacks out of
Africa.
There is no question that
savage racism is the makeup of the American Way and is a serious problem for
Blacks and all people of color. However,
we have made racism the basis for Reparations without any success. Hence, we have to consider an even greater
approach and stratagem to meet our objectives.
We have to consider an even greater approach to not only resolve the
issue of racism for Blacks who are proud to be Americans. But for those of us who deplore the racism,
injustice, corruption, and subjugation that permeate the US systems, and who
want better lives elsewhere, we want lifestyles of excellence for our children
and progeny. And we must stand strong
before the United Nations and insist upon self-determination - elsewhere -
because it will never happen in the “Good Ol’ US of A”. Thus, we must have our FREEDOM and
RESETTLEMENT in stable and friendly countries of our choice that tolerate
people of color.
We are well aware that the
United States has become a country unfit for human habitation – not just
because of the ill treatment of Blacks and other minorities but because the
country’s waters and atmosphere are polluted beyond any means of remedy. Thus, the country is diseased with race hatred
and carcinogenic chemicals in the water and in the air that we breathe.
I have long since admired my
ambitious and goodhearted Black people who are always encouraging excellence in
our undertakings. However, we, as
a group, have had little opportunity to accomplish our goals and our dreams,
even though some of us are computer programmers, mathematicians, scientists,
educators, engineers, doctors, and specialists in all fields. Few Blacks are president and vice president
of billion dollar corporations, and those employed in large corporations do not
move up the ladder in positions that matter and salaries as do Whites. And do not delude yourselves,
no matter what the UN puts in writing, nothing is going to change in this
country with a foundation built on a Holocaust, prejudice, segregation, and
race hatred.
Nevertheless, if we are in
control of our own educational system, our governments, and our own social and
economical systems, then we can make the necessary decisions for our own
well-fare. Let’s not forget Black
Wallstreet. That was an exceptional
accomplishment Whites never intended to happen, and it has not occurred
since they destroyed Wallstreet’s complete design and foundation. Whites were appalled that Blacks could be so
successful without their involvement, and they had to put and end to Wallstreet
before it got so big that it was in competition with them. To believe that another Black Wallstreet will
happen again in the United States is to believe a lie. The truth of the matter is that if there were
no poor Blacks in the States and no Third-world countries existing in gross
impoverishment, then there would be no White Supremacy.
We have to rise above our
plight and be inspired and encouraged to take our expertise elsewhere and establish
the likes of our own Black Walstreet in countries that will be happy to receive
it. If Whites won’t invest in Blacks,
then let Blacks invest in Blacks, and today we have Ghana, Nigeria, and other
countries in South America and Africa with the finances willing to help in this
regard, if we can prove our willingness to be successful and excel with the
best of them.
We must go before the United
Nations and seek our FREEDOM on the basis of the forced migration that brought
our forebears to these shores and kept us here in this land of misery. We must go before the United Nations and seek
RESETTLEMENT opportunities because of this cruel displacement. We must go before the United Nations for
Reparations to finance our settlements/communities, housing, farms, school
systems, and funding for our livelihoods and recreational centers, hospitals
and clinics – much needed to give our people the required medical
attention. All these facilities are what
will make our people self-supporting and viable citizens in societies that we
will have established, as well as make us truly proud to be Black.
The Slave Trade thrived because
of the millions who were forcibly migrated to these shores (and to other
countries), because of colonial America and the US government that perpetuated
the control of many generations of Blacks in Slavery. On these grounds also, it is our human right
for justice to be served, and it is the duty of the United Nations to aid us in
this cause and justice for the barbaric and cruel Slave Trade. Human rights and FREEDOM for all is the basis
and duty of the United Nations, and we at this point want justice served for
all the atrocities committed against Slaves and against us.
We must also be compassionate
towards descendants of Slaves in other countries and speak in their favor, as
well. In this regard, we must cause the United Nations to understand the need for an International
Foundation established for contributions from all countries that grew
wealthy off the backs of Slaves in order that all descendants of Slaves might
benefit from the untold criminal acts against Black humanity that has gone
unresolved for far too long.
It is imperative that any UN
conferences involving the 2011 International Year for People of African
Descent include “African American” representation equaling the same
number of UN members addressing this issue.
This is what’s fair and justified on the basis of Colonial Americans
insistence on “no taxation without representation” policy.
After reading the 2011,
International Year for People of African Descent, I am not
encouraged. The idea and purpose are
fine, but I read nothing written that will address our requests for FREEDOM,
RESETTLEMENT, REPARATIONS, and an end to racism.
Excerpt from the Resolution
adopted by the General Assembly:
“Proclaims
the year beginning on 1 January 2011 the International Year For People of
African Descent, with a view to strengthening national actions and
Regional and international cooperation for the benefit of people of African descent
in Relation to their full enjoyment of economic, cultural, social, civil and
political rights, their participation and integration in all political,
economic, social and cultural aspects of society, and the promotion of a
greater knowledge of and respect for their diverse heritage and culture:”
Who compiled this report? Are they people who
are truly serious about 2011 being a productive year to address Black
Agendas? Everyone who is anyone in this
country knows that the powers-that-be are well aware of the inequality,
inequity, prejudice, and discrimination we face being people of color since the
Slave Trade. If this General Assembly is
not aware, then without hesitation we can spend a two or three years before the
United Nations taking turns citing passages in the annals of history involving
all the heinous crimes of the Slave Masters and the double standards,
isolation, and exclusion from the equal distribution of wealth and the job
market, even since the end of Slavery in 1865!
Didn’t the person or Assembly
Committee responsible for this Resolution know about Affirmative Action
that did much of nothing to help our cause but that worked above and beyond for
White Women? Aren’t these people aware
of the lily White Senate and AIPAC, another White but Jewish organization, that
runs the House of Representatives and the Senate with bribes and that has
concern only for White “Jews” and those whom they can exploit? Isn’t this Assembly aware that these White
“Jews” can successfully get their way and everything they want from this
government and even have the chutzpah to object to rights that are due Blacks?
And aren’t they aware of the KKK, the injustice in the judicial system, and the
disproportionate number of Blacks incarcerated than Whites? Didn’t this Assembly hear about President
Bush pulling the US representatives out of the World Conference Against Racism?
Aren’t these people aware that this past December, the UN General Assembly voted and approved a resolution to hold
a summit commemorating the Durban Conference Against
Racism, and the US voted against this resolution? There is but one way to fight the racism in
this country, and that is to leave it!
There has been no American Dream for descendants of Slaves, no enjoyment
or even hope of better lives, and participation in the economic benefits in
this country have been nil. And this “promotion
of a greater knowledge of and respect for their diverse heritage and culture”
is nothing more than a joke. The
school systems no longer are concerned with Multicultural Education, and when
they were, it was mainly about the Jewish Holocaust ad nauseam, as if the Black
Holocaust overshadowed their White Jewish thirteen years of pogrom.
If the General
Assembly wanted to make descendants of Slaves believe that this Resolution is
truly intended to make changes for the betterment of Blacks, then it should
have implemented buzz words commonly used by Blacks who are fighting for our
FREEDOM and fighting against RACISM and for JUSTICE SERVED for the SLAVE TRADE!
The UN General
Assembly should know by now that there is not much that will be done when the
US government and other agencies are foremost in committing “racial
discriminations”.
If no one can
strengthen the office of the Presidency to be a voice for those who have none,
how will anything positive ever be accomplished for Blacks in this place called
“America the Beautiful”? And I fail to
understand what “Regional and International cooperation” entails and is
in regard to our economic, cultural, social, civil and political rights, etc.,
etc.
It appears to me
that some folks at the UN attempted to write a Resolution that looked good on
paper, but they failed miserably, as this document leaves much to be desired. We must, at
all costs, work in conjunction with ALL Committees and Conferences involving
this 2011, International Year for People of African Descent,
or our objectives will not be met.
Remember and take to heart, it is now time for us to have our voices
heard loud and clear that descendants of Slaves are determined to have justice
served for the Slave Trade and for the ensuing race hatred and savage injustice
that has prevailed since forcing Blacks to this country. We can no longer stand by and allow the White
world governments to sweep the atrocities of the Slave Trade and racism under
the rug, as if they never existed.
Tunisia, Egypt, and Jordan held demonstrations that we must consider and
be as equally as determined to stand strong and be steadfast as have been the
peoples of these countries. Let’s not
forget that money talks and peaceful demonstrations walk, if we ever
want change in our lives and in the lives of our children. What have we got to lose?
White folks and even some
Blacks do not think we deserve Reparations.
If these are the ones who wrote this Resolution, then the first steps
for justice have not been served.
Nevertheless, I appeal to the United Nations to give us at least half
the wealth the government and the Slavers amassed off the backs of our
forefathers, for without their labor, this country would not be the power in
the world that it is, dwindling though that power may be.
I cannot close without a
warning. Without question, when
REPARATIONS are rendered, those who will choose to stay in the US should know
that efforts will be made to extend this restitution to everyone but to
descendants of Slaves. Even President
Obama, a man, husband, and father that I deeply admire, has said that
REPARATIONS can be provided in the form of better educational systems. Taxes for educational systems are already in
place, but just not for the Black ghettoes wherein have lived poor,
impoverished Blacks for lack of the necessary education, employment, and
salaries to bring them out of this dilemma.
In the words of Dr. Conrad W. Worrill,
“We must regain the momentum which the Reparations Movement had in the first
few years of this century.” And he is
absolutely correct!
IN THE WORDS OF GOD’s
SERVANT AND PROPHET MOSES:
“Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of
the LORD.”

THE UNITED NATIONS AND PEOPLE OF AFRICAN
DESCENT

We must regain the momentum which the Reparations Movement had in the first
few years of this century. The United Nations World Conference Against Racism in Durban, South Africa recognized the
Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade and Slavery as a Crime Against Humanity for which
Reparations are due!
The U. N. has declared 2011, the “Year for People of African Descent.” There
are different activities being planned. As Malcolm X taught us, we must use the
international arena to highlight our National Human Rights’ Demand for
Reparations! Let us review the work of the December 12th Movement
and NBUF leading up to the World Conference Against
Racism.
In 1999, the National Black
United Front ( NBUF ) joined forces with the December
12th Movement in organizing a delegation of Africans in America to
attend the United Nations World Conference Against Racism. The conference was
held in Durban, South Africa from August 31st to September 7 , 2001 . We should never forget the impact and
significance of this organizing project..
The December 12th Movement International Secretariat, the
International Association Against Torture , North South XXI has official
Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) status with the United Nations. Over the
last twenty years, this group has committed much of its organizing efforts to
participating in the United Nations Human Rights Commission by presenting
numerous issues that impact African people in America. They have been NBUF ’s eyes and ears at the U.N.
As Atty. Roger Wareham of the December 12th Movement recently
revealed in an article circulated on the internet, “Since 1997, when the U.N.
agreed to hold this World Conference, the United States , Canada, and Western
Europe (the WEO Group of countries) have done all they can to prevent it from succeeding.”
In the spring of 1998 , at the African Group meeting
during the Commission on Human Rights in Geneva, a Resolution was drafted
identifying the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade as a Crime Against Humanity. The
United States used all of its influence and blocked the resolution. However,
this did not stop the momentum throughout the African World to pursue this
resolution’s becoming an official position of the United Nations World
Conference Against Racism.
At the African Regional Preparatory Conference, for the World Conference
Against Racism, held in Dakar, Senegal ( January
22-24, 2001 ), the African Ministers developed what has been called the “Dakar
Declaration.” In their deliberations, they affirmed, in part, the
following:
- Affirm that the slave trade is a
unique tragedy in the history of humanity, particularly against Africans— a
crime against humanity which is unparalleled, not only in its abhorrent
barbaric feature, but also, in terms of its enormous magnitude, its institutionalized
nature, its transnational dimension and especially its negation of the human
nature of the victims.
- Further affirm that the consequences
of this tragedy accentuated by those of colonialism and apartheid, have
resulted in substantial and lasting economic, political, and cultural damage
caused to the descendants of the victims, the perpetuation of the prejudice
against Africans on the continent and people of African descent in the
Diaspora.
-691-
Strongly
reaffirm that States which pursued racist policies or acts of racial
discrimination, such as slavery, colonialism, and apartheid,
should assume their full responsibilities and provide adequate reparations
to those States, communities and individuals who were victims of such racist
policies or acts, regardless of when or by whom they were committed.
-692-
International law supports the
position that the enslavement of Africans was a crime against humanity.
The Charter of the Nuremberg Tribunal defined crimes against humanity in this
manner: “Murder, extermination, enslavement, deportation, and other inhumane
acts committed against any civilian population… whether or not in violation of
the domestic law of the country where perpetuated.”
The African Reparations
Movement explains that, “Historians and their experts can show, without
difficulty, how the invasion of African territories, the mass capture of
Africans, the horrors of the middle passage, the chattelization of Africans in
America , and the extermination of the language and culture of the transported
Africans, constituted violations of all these international laws.” Thus, the Trans
Atlantic Slave Trade was a Crime Against Humanity and,
it is clear, African people are owed reparations throughout the world.
Again, as Atty. Wareham
explains, “Before the U.N. World Conferences are actually held, they are
preceded by PrepCom (Preparatory Committee meetings) in the various
geographical regions of the world where the actual content of the final
document , the program of action was worked out, and the PreComs were
completed. All of the regional PreComs are over. In Geneva, Switzerland, a
working group meeting held March 6 –9 , 2001 to consider a Draft Declaration
(the Durban Declaration) and tried to resolve a dispute about whether
compensatory relief (i.e. reparations) should even be considered
as a theme of the World Conference. This was only an issue because of U. S. and
Western European opposition.” The dispute was not settled and another meeting
will be held in May in Geneva.
The New York Times
revealed, “A conference on racism this summer could be one of the most
explosive meetings this organization (United Nations) has ever held, with moves
afoot to cast globalization as a racial issue and to demand reparations for the
slave trade and colonialism.”
For more than twenty years, the
December 12th Movement International Secretariat has fought in
defense of the human rights of African people at the United Nations, in both
Switzerland and New York. During this time, they have come to help us understand
that while we, as African people, may not recognize the importance of the
international agency to the progress of our struggle, but the United States and
its allies are crystal clear about it.
NBUF agrees with the December
12th Movement that we must continue to organize at the international
level in bringing the issues of African people before the world and especially
the issue of Reparations. One way we can continue this work is to organize
around the United Nations declared 2011 “Year for People of African Descent.”

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.
Who can understand
his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.
Keep back thy
servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then
shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.
Let the words of
my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD,
my strength, and my redeemer.” Psalm Nineteenth Chapter

KING SOLOMON'S PRAYER
(I Kings 8th Chapter))
“Behold, I build an house to
the name of the LORD my God, to dedicate it to him,
and to burn before him sweet incense, and for the continual shewbread,
and
for the burnt offerings morning and evening, on the sabbaths, and on the new
moons,
and
on the solemn feasts of the LORD our God. This is an ordinance for ever
to Israel.
And the house which I build is great: for great
is our God above all gods.”
II Chronicles 2:4,5
LORD God of Israel, there is no God like thee,
in heaven above, or on earth beneath, who keepest covenant and mercy with thy
servants that walk before thee with all their heart: Who hast kept with thy servant David my father that
thou promisedst him: thou spakest also with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled it
with thine hand, as it is this day.
Therefore now, LORD God of Israel, keep with thy
servant David my father that thou promisedst him, saying, There shall not
fail thee a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel; so that thy
children take heed to their way, that they walk before me as thou hast walked
before me. And now, O God of Israel, let thy word, I pray thee, be
verified, which thou spakest unto thy servant David my father.
But will God indeed dwell on the earth? behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain
thee; how much less this house that I have builded?
Yet have thou respect unto the prayer of thy servant,
and to his supplication, O LORD my God, to hearken unto the cry and to the
prayer, which thy servant prayeth before thee to day: That thine eyes may be
open toward this house night and day,
even toward the place of which thou hast said, My name shall be there:
that thou mayest hearken unto the prayer which thy servant shall make toward
this place.
And hearken thou to the supplication of thy servant,
and of thy people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place: and hear thou
in heaven thy dwelling place: and when thou hearest, forgive.
If any man trespass against his neighbour, and an oath
be laid upon him to cause him to swear, and the oath come before thine altar in
this house: Then hear thou in heaven, and do, and judge thy servants, condemning
the wicked, to bring his way upon his head; and justifying the righteous, to
give him according to his righteousness.
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:
Then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring
them again unto the land which thou gavest unto their fathers.
When heaven is shut up, and there is no rain, because
they have sinned against thee; if they pray toward this place, and confess thy
name, and turn from their sin, when thou afflictest them: Then hear thou in
heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, that
thou teach them the good way wherein they should walk, and give rain upon thy
land, which thou hast given to thy people for an inheritance.
If there be in the land famine, if there be
pestilence, blasting, mildew, locust, or if there be caterpillar; if
their enemy besiege them in the land of their cities; whatsoever plague,
whatsoever sickness there be; What prayer and supplication soever
be made by any man, or by all thy people Israel, which shall know
every man the plague of his own heart, and spread forth his hands toward this
house: Then hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive, and do,
and give to every man according to his ways, whose heart thou knowest; (for
thou, even thou only, knowest the hearts of all the children of men;) That they may fear thee all
the days that they live in the land which thou gavest unto our fathers.
Moreover concerning a stranger, that is not of
thy people Israel, but cometh out of a far country for thy name's sake; (For
they shall hear of thy great name, and of thy strong hand, and of thy stretched
out arm;) when he shall come and pray toward this house; Hear thou in heaven
thy dwelling place, and do according to all that the stranger calleth to thee
for: that all people of the earth may know thy name, to fear thee, as do
thy people Israel; and that they may know that this house, which I have
builded, is called by thy name.
If thy people go out to battle against their enemy, whithersoever thou shalt send them, and shall pray
unto the LORD toward the city which thou hast chosen, and toward the
house that I have built for thy name: Then hear thou in heaven their prayer and
their supplication, and maintain their cause.
If they sin against thee, (for there is no man that sinneth not,) and
thou be angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them
away captives unto the land of the enemy, far or near;
Yet
if they shall bethink themselves in the land whither they were carried
captives, and repent, and make supplication unto thee in the land of them that
carried them captives, saying, We have sinned, and have done perversely, we
have committed wickedness; And so return unto thee with all their heart,
and with all their soul, in the land of their enemies, which led them away
captive, and pray unto thee toward their land, which thou gavest unto their
fathers, the city which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built for thy
name: Then hear thou their prayer and their supplication in heaven thy dwelling
place, and maintain their cause, And forgive thy people that have sinned
against thee, and all their transgressions wherein they have transgressed
against thee, and give them compassion before them who carried them captive,
that they may have compassion on them:
For they be thy people, and thine inheritance,
which thou broughtest forth out of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of
iron: That thine eyes may be open unto the supplication of thy servant, and
unto the supplication of thy people Israel, to hearken unto them in all that
they call for unto thee.
For thou didst separate them from among all the people
of the earth, to be thine inheritance, as thou spakest by the hand of
Moses thy servant, when thou broughtest our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord GOD.

“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
ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of Israel:
Thus saith the LORD,
Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven;
for the heathen are dismayed at them. For the customs of the people are vain:
for
one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman,
with the axe.
They deck it with silver
and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers,
that
it move not. They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid
of them; for they cannot do evil,
neither
also is it in them to do good.”
Jeremiah 10:1 - 5
“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
***
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 TOGETHER:
QUESTIONS TEN: 791 - 800 FOR THE DECEMBER 2011/ JANUARY 2012
LAWKEEPERS JOURNAL
791.
What must the King of Israel, that the
CREATOR GOD of Israel chose, read all the days of his life and why?
792.
Which of the Twelve Tribes shall not
have any part nor inheritance with the other eleven
Tribes?
793.
What did the GOD of Israel Command to be
given to the Tribe that has no part nor inheritance
with the other Twelve Tribes?
794.

Israel desires to minister in GOD’s Holy Name, will that be permitted?
796.
Is there anything wrong with divination,
observing times, enchanters, witchcraft, familiar spirits, etc.?
797.

“Perfect with the LORD”. How is that
possible?
798.
From which lineage must all GOD’s
Prophets be?
799.
How are we to determine GOD’s True
Prophets?
800.
What are Cities of refuge?
*****
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.

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.

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.”

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 to
all Yisraelite leaders and Teachers,
There is
indeed an urgent need for teachers and leadership at area prisons. If you
do know of any incarcerated in Ohio, I would be happy to add them to this page.
The one
theme that is always expressed by the inmates is the need for leadership. 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.
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 to them if you can help.
