WHAT IS
THE LEVITICAL DIETARY LAW vs. WHAT IS “KOSHER”JEWISH DIETARY
LAW?
The Dietary Laws set forth in the book of
Leviticus are very clear on the flesh of the field, fish on the sea, fowls of
the air and creeping things on the earth that can be consumed as food. The 11th chapter of the book
of Leviticus states what “Thus saith the LORD” unto the children of Yisrael
regarding what is “clean” and “unclean”:
“Speak unto the children of
In contrast, the “Jews” follow their own
dietary laws. A website called
“Judiasm 101” describes the “kosher” laws as follows:
Kashrut is the body of Jewish law dealing
with what foods we can and cannot eat and how those foods must be prepared and
eaten. "Kashrut" comes from the Hebrew root Kaf-Shin-Reish, meaning fit,
proper or correct. It is the same root as the more commonly known word "kosher,"
which describes food that meets these standards. The word "kosher" can also be
used, and often is used, to describe ritual objects that are made in accordance
with Jewish law and are fit for ritual use.
Contrary to popular misconception, rabbis
or other religious officials do not "bless" food to make it kosher. There are
blessings that observant Jews recite over food before eating it, but these
blessings have nothing to do with making the food kosher. Food can be kosher
without a rabbi or priest ever becoming involved with it: the vegetables from
your garden are undoubtedly kosher (as long as they don't have any bugs, which
are not kosher!). However, in our modern world of processed foods, it is
difficult to know what ingredients are in your food and how they were processed,
so it is helpful to have a rabbi examine the food and its processing and assure
kosher consumers that the food is kosher. This certification process is
discussed below.
There is no such thing as "kosher-style"
food. Kosher is not a style of cooking. Chinese food can be kosher if it is
prepared in accordance with Jewish law, and there are many fine kosher Chinese
restaurants in
Food that is not kosher is commonly
referred to as treif (lit. torn, from the commandment not to eat animals that
have been torn by other animals).
Why Do We
Observe the Laws of Kashrut?
Many modern Jews think that the laws of
kashrut are simply primitive health regulations that have become obsolete with
modern methods of food preparation. There is no question that some of the
dietary laws have some beneficial health effects. For example, the laws
regarding kosher slaughter are so sanitary that kosher butchers and
slaughterhouses have been exempted from many USDA regulations.
However, health is not the only reason for
Jewish dietary laws. Many of the laws of kashrut have no known connection with
health. To the best of our modern scientific knowledge, there is no reason why
camel or rabbit meat (both treif) is any less healthy than cow or goat meat. In
addition, some of the health benefits to be derived from kashrut were not made
obsolete by the refrigerator. For example, there is some evidence that eating
meat and dairy together interferes with digestion, and no modern food
preparation technique reproduces the health benefit of the kosher law of eating
them separately.
In recent years, several secular sources
that have seriously looked into this matter have acknowledged that health does
not explain these prohibitions. Some have suggested that the prohibitions are
instead derived from environmental considerations. For example, a camel (which
is not kosher) is more useful as a beast of burden than as a source of food. In
the Middle Eastern climate, the pig consumes a quantity of food that is
disproportional to its value as a food source. But again, these are not reasons
that come from Jewish tradition.
The short answer to why Jews observe these
laws is: because the Torah
says so. The Torah does not specify any reason for these laws, and for a
Torah-observant, traditional Jew, there is no need for any other reason. Some
have suggested that the laws of kashrut fall into the category of "chukkim,"
laws for which there is no reason. We show our obedience to G-d by following these laws even
though we do not know the reason. Others, however, have tried to ascertain G-d's
reason for imposing these laws.
In his book "To Be a Jew" (an excellent
resource on traditional Judaism), Rabbi Hayim Halevy Donin suggests that the
dietary laws are designed as a call to holiness. The ability to distinguish
between right and wrong, good and evil, pure and defiled, the sacred and the
profane, is very important in Judaism. Imposing rules on what you can and cannot
eat ingrains that kind of self control, requiring us to learn to control even
our most basic, primal instincts.
Donin also points out that the laws of
kashrut elevate the simple act of eating into a religious ritual. The Jewish
dinner table is often compared to the Temple altar in rabbinic literature. A Jew who
observes the laws of kashrut cannot eat a meal without being reminded of the
fact that he is a Jew.
How
Difficult is it to Keep Kosher?
People who do not keep kosher often tell me
how difficult it is. Actually, keeping kosher is not particularly difficult in
and of itself; what makes it difficult to keep kosher is the fact that the rest
of the world does not do so.
As we shall see below, the basic underlying
rules are fairly simple. If you buy your meat at a kosher butcher and buy only
kosher certified products at the market, the only thing you need to think about
is the separation of meat and dairy.
Keeping kosher only becomes difficult when
you try to eat in a non-kosher restaurant, or at the home of a person who does
not keep kosher. In those situations, your lack of knowledge about your host's
ingredients and food preparation techniques make it very difficult to keep
kosher. Some commentators have pointed out, however, that this may well have
been part of what G-d had in mind: to make it more difficult for us to socialize
with those who do not share our religion.
General Rules
Although the details of kashrut are
extensive, the laws all derive from a few fairly simple, straightforward rules:
- Certain animals may not be eaten at all.
This restriction includes the flesh, organs, eggs and milk of the forbidden
animals.
- Of the animals that may be eaten, the
birds and mammals must be killed in accordance with Jewish law.
- All blood must be drained from the meat
or broiled out of it before it is eaten.
- Certain parts of permitted animals may
not be eaten.
- Fruits and vegetables are permitted, but
must be inspected for bugs
- Meat (the flesh of birds and mammals)
cannot be eaten with dairy. Fish, eggs, fruits, vegetables and grains can be
eaten with either meat or dairy. (According to some views, fish may not be
eaten with meat).
- Utensils that have come into contact with
meat may not be used with dairy, and vice versa. Utensils that have come into
contact with non-kosher food may not be used with kosher food. This applies
only where the contact occurred while the food was hot.
- Grape products made by non-Jews may not
be eaten.
- There are a few other rules that are not
universal.
The Details
Animals
that may not be eaten
Of the "beasts of the earth" (which
basically refers to land mammals with the exception of swarming rodents), you
may eat any animal that has cloven hooves and chews its cud. Lev. 11:3; Deut.
14:6. Any land mammal that does not have both of these qualities is forbidden.
The Torah specifies that the
camel, the rock badger, the hare and the pig are not kosher because each lacks
one of these two qualifications. Sheep, cattle, goats, deer and bison are
kosher.
Of the things that are in the waters, you
may eat anything that has fins and scales. Lev. 11:9; Deut. 14:9. Thus,
shellfish such as lobsters, oysters, shrimp, clams and crabs are all forbidden.
Fish like tuna, carp, salmon and herring are all permitted.
For birds, the criteria is less clear. The
Torah provides a list of
forbidden birds (Lev. 11:13-19; Deut. 14:11-18), but does not specify why these
particular birds are forbidden. All of the birds on the list are birds of prey
or scavengers, thus the rabbis inferred that this was
the basis for the distinction. Other birds are permitted, such as chicken,
geese, ducks and turkeys. However, some people avoid turkey, because it is not
mentioned in the Torah, leaving room for doubt.
Of the "winged swarming things" (winged
insects), a few are specifically permitted (Lev. 11:22), but the Sages are no
longer certain which ones they are, so all have been forbidden. There are
communities that have a tradition about what species are permitted, and in those
communities some insects are eaten.
Rodents, reptiles, amphibians, and insects
(except as mentioned above) are all forbidden. Lev. 11:29-30, 42-43.
Some authorities require a post-mortem
examination of the lungs of cattle, to determine whether the lungs are free from
adhesions. If the lungs are free from such adhesions, the animal is deemed
"glatt" (that is, "smooth"). In certain circumstances, an animal can be kosher
without being glatt; however, the stringency of keeping "glatt kosher" has
become increasingly common in recent years, and you would be hard-pressed to
find any kosher meat that is not labeled as "glatt kosher."
As mentioned above, any product derived
from these forbidden animals, such as their milk, eggs, fat, or organs, also
cannot be eaten. Rennet, an enzyme used to harden cheese, is often obtained from
non-kosher animals, thus kosher hard cheese can be difficult to find.
Kosher slaughtering
The mammals and birds that may be eaten
must be slaughtered in accordance with Jewish law. (Deut. 12:21). We may not eat
animals that died of natural causes (Deut. 14:21) or that were killed by other
animals. In addition, the animal must have no disease or flaws in the organs at
the time of slaughter. These restrictions do not apply to fish; only to the
flocks and herds (Num. 11:22).
Ritual slaughter is known as shechitah, and
the person who performs the slaughter is called a shochet, both from the Hebrew
root Shin-Cheit-Tav, meaning
to destroy or kill. The method of slaughter is a quick, deep stroke across the
throat with a perfectly sharp blade with no nicks or unevenness. This method is
painless, causes unconsciousness within two seconds, and is widely recognized as
the most humane method of slaughter possible.
Another advantage of shechitah is that it
ensures rapid, complete draining of the blood, which is also necessary to render
the meat kosher.
The shochet is not simply a butcher; he
must be a pious man, well-trained in Jewish law, particularly as it relates to
kashrut. In smaller, more remote communities, the rabbi and the shochet were often
the same person.
Draining of Blood
The Torah prohibits consumption of
blood. Lev. 7:26-27; Lev. 17:10-14. This is the only dietary law that has a
reason specified in Torah: we do not eat blood because the life of the animal
(literally, the soul of the animal) is contained in the blood. This applies only
to the blood of birds and mammals, not to fish blood. Thus, it is necessary to
remove all blood from the flesh of kosher animals.
The first step in this process occurs at
the time of slaughter. As discussed above, shechitah allows for rapid draining
of most of the blood.
The remaining blood must be removed, either
by broiling or soaking and salting. Liver may only be kashered by the broiling
method, because it has so much blood in it and such complex blood vessels. This
final process must be completed within 72 hours after slaughter, and before the
meat is frozen or ground. Most butchers and all frozen food vendors take care of
the soaking and salting for you, but you should always check this when you are
buying someplace you are unfamiliar with.
An egg that contains a blood spot may not
be eaten. This isn't very common, but I find them once in a while. It is a good
idea to break an egg into a glass and check it before you put it into a heated
pan, because if you put a blood-stained egg into a heated pan, the pan becomes
non-kosher.
Forbidden Fats and Nerves
The sciatic nerve and its adjoining blood
vessels may not be eaten. The process of removing this nerve is time consuming
and not cost-effective, so most American slaughterers simply sell the hind
quarters to non-kosher butchers.
A certain kind of fat, known as chelev,
which surrounds the vital organs and the liver, may not be eaten. Kosher
butchers remove this. Modern scientists have found biochemical differences
between this type of fat and the permissible fat around the muscles and under
the skin.
Fruits and Vegetables
All fruits and vegetables are kosher (but
see the note regarding Grape Products below).
However, bugs and worms that may be found in some fruits and vegetables are not
kosher. Fruits and vegetables that are prone to this sort of thing should be
inspected to ensure that they contain no bugs. Leafy vegetables like lettuce and
herbs and flowery vegetables like broccoli and cauliflower are particularly
prone to bugs and should be inspected carefully. Strawberries and raspberries
can also be problematic. The Star-K kosher
certification organization has a very nice overview of the fruits and vegetables
prone to this and the procedure for addressing it in each type.
Separation of Meat and Dairy
On three separate occasions, the Torah tells us not to "boil a
kid in its mother's milk." (Ex. 23:19; Ex. 34:26; Deut. 14:21). The Oral Torah explains that this
passage prohibits eating meat and dairy together. The rabbis extended this prohibition
to include not eating milk and poultry together. In addition, the Talmud prohibits cooking meat
and fish together or serving them on the same plates, because it is considered
to be unhealthy. It is, however, permissible to eat fish and dairy together, and
it is quite common (lox and cream cheese, for example). It is also permissible
to eat dairy and eggs together.
This separation includes not only the foods
themselves, but the utensils, pots and pans with which they are cooked, the
plates and flatware from which they are eaten, the dishwashers or dishpans in
which they are cleaned, and the towels on which they are dried. A kosher
household will have at least two sets of pots, pans and dishes: one for meat and
one for dairy. See Utensils below for more details.
One must wait a significant amount of time
between eating meat and dairy. Opinions differ, and vary from three to six
hours. This is because fatty residues and meat particles tend to cling to the
mouth. From dairy to meat, however, one need only rinse one's mouth and eat a
neutral solid like bread, unless the dairy product in question is also of a type
that tends to stick in the mouth.
The Yiddish words fleishik (meat),
milchik (dairy) and pareve (neutral) are commonly used to describe food or
utensils that fall into one of those categories.
Note that even the smallest quantity of
dairy (or meat) in something renders it entirely dairy (or meat) for purposes of
kashrut. For example, most margarines are dairy for kosher purposes, because
they contain a small quantity of whey or other dairy products to give it a
buttery taste. Animal fat is considered meat for purposes of kashrut. You should
read the ingredients very carefully, even if the product is kosher-certified.
Utensils
Utensils (pots, pans, plates, flatware,
etc., etc.) must also be kosher. A utensil picks up the kosher "status" (meat,
dairy, pareve, or treif) of the food that is cooked in it or eaten off of it,
and transmits that status back to the next food that is cooked in it or eaten
off of it. Thus, if you cook chicken soup in a saucepan, the pan becomes meat.
If you thereafter use the same saucepan to heat up some warm milk, the fleishik
status of the pan is transmitted to the milk, and the milchik status of the milk
is transmitted to the pan, making both the pan and the milk a forbidden mixture.
Kosher status can be transmitted from the
food to the utensil or from the utensil to the food only in the presence of
heat, thus if you are eating cold food in a non-kosher establishment, the
condition of the plates is not an issue. Likewise, you could use the same knife
to slice cold cuts and cheese, as long as you clean it in between, but this is
not really a recommended procedure, because it increases the likelihood of
mistakes.
Stove tops and sinks routinely become
non-kosher utensils, because they routinely come in contact with both meat and
dairy in the presence of heat. It is necessary, therefore, to use dishpans when
cleaning dishes (don't soak them directly in the sink) and to use separate spoon
rests and trivets when putting things down on the stove top.
Dishwashers are a kashrut problem. If you
are going to use a dishwasher for both meat and dairy in a kosher home, you
either need to have separate dish racks or you need to run the dishwasher in
between meat and dairy loads.
You should use separate towels and pot
holders for meat and dairy. Routine laundering kashers such items, so you can
simply launder them between using them for meat and dairy.
Certain kinds of utensils can be "kashered"
if you make a mistake and use it with both meat and dairy. Consult a rabbi for guidance if this
situation occurs.
Grape Products
The restrictions on grape products derive
from the laws against using products of idolatry. Wine was commonly used in the
rituals of all ancient religions, and wine was routinely sanctified for pagan
purposes while it was being processed. For this reason, use of wines and other
grape products made by non-Jews was prohibited. (Whole grapes are not a problem,
nor are whole grapes in fruit cocktail).
For the most part, this rule only affects
wine and grape juice. This becomes a concern with many fruit drinks or
fruit-flavored drinks, which are often sweetened with grape juice. You may also
notice that some baking powders are not kosher, because baking powder is
sometimes made with cream of tartar, a by-product of wine making. All beer used
to be kosher, but this is no longer the case because fruity beers made with
grape products have become more common.
Additional Rules
There are a few additional considerations
that come up, that you may hear discussed in more sophisticated discussions of
kashrut.
Bishul Yisroel
In certain circumstances, a Jew (that is,
someone who is required to keep kosher) must be involved in the preparation of
food for it to be kosher. This rule is discussed in depth under Food Fit for a
King on the Star-K kosher certification
website.
Cholov Yisroel
An ancient rule required that a Jew must be
present from the time of milking to the time of bottling to ensure that milk
from kosher animals did not become mixed with milk from non-kosher animals. Milk
that is observed in this way is referred to as Cholov Yisroel, and some people
will consume only Cholov
Yisroel. However, in the
Mevushal
Most kosher wines in
Kashrut Certification
The task of keeping kosher is greatly
simplified by widespread kashrut certification. Products that have been
certified as kosher are labeled with a mark called a hekhsher (from the same
Hebrew root as the word
"kosher") that ordinarily identifies the rabbi or organization that certified
the product. Approximately 3/4 of all prepackaged foods have some kind of kosher
certification, and most major brands have reliable Orthodox certification.
The process of certification does not
involve "blessing" the food; rather, it involves examining the ingredients used
to make the food, examining the process by which the food is prepared, and
periodically inspecting the processing facilities to make sure that kosher
standards are maintained.
The symbols at right are all
widely-accepted hekhshers commonly found on products throughout the
The most controversial certification is the
K, a plain letter K found on products asserted to be kosher. A letter of the
alphabet cannot be trademarked, so any manufacturer can put a K on a product,
even without any supervision at all. For example, Jell-O brand gelatin puts a K
on its product, even though every reliable Orthodox authority agrees that Jell-O
is not kosher. On the other hand, some very reliable rabbis will certify
products without having a trademark to offer, and their certifications will also
have only a "K." Most other kosher certification marks are trademarked and
cannot legally be used without the permission of the certifying organization.
The certifying organization assures you that the product is kosher according to
their standards, but standards vary.
It is becoming increasingly common for
kosher certifying organizations to indicate whether the product is fleishik
(meat), milchik (dairy) or pareve (neutral). If the product is dairy, it will
frequently have a D or the word Dairy next to the kashrut symbol. If it is meat,
the word Meat may appear near the symbol (usually not an M, because that might
be confused with "milchik"). If it is pareve, the word Pareve (or Parev) may
appear near the symbol (Not a P! That means kosher for Passover!). If no such
clarification appears, you should read the ingredient list carefully to
determine whether the product is meat, dairy or pareve.
Kosher certification organizations charge
manufacturers a small fee for kosher certification. This fee covers the expenses
of researching the ingredients in the product and inspecting the facilities used
to manufacture the product. There are some who have complained that these
certification costs increase the cost of the products to non-Jewish, non-kosher
consumers; however, the actual cost of such certification is so small relative
to the overall cost of production that most manufacturers cannot even calculate
it. The cost is more than justified by the increase in sales it produces:
although observant Jews are only a small fragment of the marketplace, kosher
certification is also relied upon by many Muslims (see:http://www.muslimconsumergroup.com/hfs.htm),
vegetarians (although this is not fool-proof; dairy and pareve foods may contain
eggs or fish; but if it isn't kosher, it probably isn't vegetarian), some
Seventh Day Adventists, as well as many other people who simply think that
kosher products are cleaner, healthier or better than non-kosher products. It is
worth noting that many charitable organizations also charge manufacturers for
the privilege of putting their logo on a product, and they do not perform any
service in exchange for that charge.
Do All
Jews Keep Kosher?
About 25% to 30% of Jews in
However, the standards that are observed
vary substantially from one person to another. According to the 1990 National
Jewish Population Survey (NJPS), only about 17% of Jewish families eat kosher
meat all the time. (see Table 28 in the survey, if you can find it -- I can no
longer locate it online). Others keep kosher more strictly some times than
others.
The strictest people will eat only foods
that have reliable Orthodox kosher certification, eating only glatt-kosher certified meats
and specially certified dairy products. They will not eat cooked food in a
restaurant unless the restaurant has reliable Orthodox certification, and they
are unlikely to accept an invitation to dinner from anyone who is not known to
share their high standards.
Others are more lenient. Some will
"ingredients read," accepting grocery store items that do not contain any
identifiably non-kosher ingredients. Some will eat cooked food in a restaurant
or a non-kosher home, as long as the meal is either vegetarian or uses only
kosher meat and no dairy products. Some will eat non-kosher meat in restaurants,
but only if the meat comes from a kosher animal and is not served with dairy
products. Many of these more lenient people keep stricter standards in their
homes than they do in restaurants or in other people's homes.
As rabbi/humorist Jack Moline noted,
"Everyone who keeps kosher will tell you that his version is the only correct
version. Everyone else is either a fanatic or a heretic." (Growing Up Jewish,
1987). There is a lot of truth in this humorous observation. I have no doubt
that I will receive mail calling me a heretic for even acknowledging the
existence of lower standards.

Tribute to the New Moon Revised:
The service of this solar/lunar calendar
of TORAH
Realizing
that even some Israelites use the dark phase of the moon to call the new month,
I would like to add one obvious fact. By definition, there can only be a “New
Moon,” per se, after the dark phase interval and when the
If
the dark phase of the moon begins the First Day of the month, then when the
It’s the absence of seeing the moon for forty-eight or more hours that enables us to identify the approaching Crescent “Sign” in the Heavens (mentioned in Genesis 1:14) that recognizes the moon as being “New.” And upon “Sighting” this “New” Crescent” we distinguish it as being the “New Moon” and the time of the New Month, as well.
PLEASE
NOTE: The Hebrew New Year is also determined by the
“LIGHTS” in the Heavens and not by the “sighting of barley,” as some Black
Hebrew Israelites and European “Jews” advocate.
***
“For as the new heavens and the new
earth, which I will make,
shall remain before me, saith the
LORD,
so shall your seed and your name
remain.
“And it shall come to pass, that from
one new moon to another,
and from one sabbath to another,
shall all flesh come to worship
before me,
saith the LORD.”
Isaiah 66:22,23

START THE NEXT NEW MOON WATCH ON THE EVENINGS OF
<<<FEBRUARY 7,8,9, 2008>>>
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
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
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
“So
David hid himself in the field: and WHEN THE NEW MOON WAS COME, the king
sat him down to eat meat.” I
Samuel 20:24
At
the time of the dark phases of the moon (generally 2-3 days), as previously
written, there is no “moon” in SIGHT.
Therefore, I Samuel 20:24 sheds more light on Genesis 1:14. “WHEN THE NEW MOON WAS COME,”
is clearly telling readers that this is a reference to a visible “
The
only problem that presents itself when using the “New Moon Sighting” to call the
First Day of the month is cloud coverage, as this prevents the ability to see
the
“Then
Solomon offered burnt offerings unto the LORD on the altar of the LORD, which he
had built before the porch,
“Even
after a certain rate every day, offering according to the commandment of Moses,
on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the solemn feasts, three
times in the year, even in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of
weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles.” II Chronicles 8:12,13
Unless
there is an emergency, please try not to buy or sell on this day. Conduct all financial and business
transactions prior to the day of the New Moon. Interesting enough, II Kings 4:23,24
constitutes the New Moon as being a day to seek “the man of God.” Although the New Moon is NOT a Day of
Rest, Our GOD did set it aside for recognition:
“Blow
up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast
day.” Psalm 81:3
“And
it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one
Sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the
LORD.” Isaiah
66:23
“…When
will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn?…” Amos 8:5
Probably,
the Scripture that most determines and clarifies the fact that our New Moons are
Feast Days is Ezekiel 45:17:
“And
it shall be the prince’s part to give burnt offerings, and meat offerings, and
drink offerings, in the feasts, and in the NEW MOONS, and in the
Sabbaths, in ALL SOLEMNITIES of the house of Israel: he shall prepare the sin offering,
and the meat offering, and the burnt offering, and the peace offerings, to
make reconciliation for the HOUSE OF ISRAEL.” (Caps. are mine.)
Unequivocally,
our New Moons are included in these “SOLEMNITIES” mentioned in Ezekiel
45:17.
“Likewise
the people of the land shall worship at the door of this gate before the
LORD in the Sabbaths [Feasts – NOT 7th Day Sabbaths*] and in the NEW
MOONS.” Ezekiel 46:3 (Brackets are mine.)
Thereby,
this verse justifies the First Day of each month being our “Feast” Day. It should be realized that the Feast
Days that Our GOD selected (Leviticus 23rd Chapter) are “Holy Convocations,”
i.e., on these days we cannot do any work.
However, because King Saul observed the New Moon as a Feast Day, we have
every reason to do so, as well.
We also have learned that our forefathers traveled to the
When
we return to our heritage and worship YIHOVAH according to HIS Ways, then we can
establish our own “Calendar of the Universe,” whereby, the days of the New Moon
and all GOD’s Holy Days will be recognized by the whole entire World. And I am sure that it will be the desire
of the Righteous Remnant and ALL the world to make a Feast to the Most High GOD
of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob/Israel every First Day of the Month.
ALSO,
I believe that if Lot (Genesis 19:3) and Abraham (Genesis 21:8) can proclaim
“Feasts,” then there is no stipulation for NOT establishing Feast Days, as we so
desire. Therefore, to
proclaim a feast to EXALT the Holy ONE of Israel on the First Day of each month
is quite acceptable - given the Scripture (above) regarding worshipping Our LORD
GOD of ISRAEL, Our SAVIOR, on the New Moons. We should know that throughout the
Tanakh Hebrew Israelites called for “feasts” for various occasions. Therefore, we are within our rights to
observe a Feast every New Moon to Our GOD, the GOD of Abraham, Isaac, and
Jacob/Israel. And those of
us who love this WONDERFUL GOD and who choose HIM to EXALT HIM for being the
ONLY LORD and SAVIOR can be at liberty to use the day of the New Moon to show
forth HIS PRAISE in a “feast” and worship HIM in Jerusalem FOREVER.

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
to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a
perpetual covenant.
It is a sign between me and the children of
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
Perhaps
the wise thing to do would be to define the word “burden.” But more importantly, we need to determine
whether or not Exodus 16:29 is a Commandment or not. And if it is determined to be one, then
we should Fear the GOD of
“But the LORD, who brought you up out of the
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
“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
“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
If
“ALL” GOD’s COMMANDMENTS are sure, then for sure, we must give credence to
Exodus 16:29 and abide in our places on GOD’s HOLY Seventh Day of Complete REST
as we are COMMANDED TO DO!
“He
hath shewed his people the power of his works, that he may give them the
heritage of the heathen. The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all
his commandments are sure.”
Psalm 111:7
GOD’s
Holy Seventh Day Sabbath of REST is not only one of HIS Greatest WORKS of all
time, but this Holy Day is an extraordinary “SIGN” between this Most High GOD,
the CREATOR and HIS Chosen People, the Children of Israel! This Seventh Day also marks the
Anniversary of GOD ending the Creations of the Heavens, Earth, man, and all that
is therein.
“Thus
the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on the
seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh
day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and
sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God
created and made.”
Genesis 2:1 - 3
“And
he said unto them, This is that which the LORD hath said, Tomorrow is the
rest of the holy sabbath unto the LORD: bake that which ye will bake today,
and seethe that ye will seethe; and that which remaineth over lay up for you to
be kept until the morning.
“See,
for that the LORD hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the
sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no man
go out of his place on the seventh day.” Exodus 16:23,29
CONCERNING “HOLY CONVOCATION”
The
issue stemming from the meaning of “Holy Convocation” written in Leviticus
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
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.

WISE…
BE YOUR
OWN HERBAL EXPERT
Part
5
By
Susun
Weed
Herbal medicine is the medicine of the
people. It is simple, safe, effective, and free. Our ancestors used -- and our
neighbors around the world still use -- plant medicines for healing and health
maintenance. It's easy. You can do it too, and you don't need a degree or any
special training. Ancient memories arise in you when you begin to use herbal
medicine -- memories which keep you safe and fill you with delight. These
lessons are designed to nourish and activate your inner herbalist so you can be
your own herbal expert.
In our first session, we learned how to
"listen" to the messages of plant's tastes. In session two, we learned about
simples and how to make effective water-based herbal remedies. The third session
helped us distinguish safe nourishing and tonifying herbs from the more
dangerous stimulating and sedating herbs. Our fourth session focused on poisons
in herbs and herbal tinctures, which we made and then collected into an Herbal
Medicine Chest.
In this, our fifth session, we will
find out how to help ourselves and our families with herbal vinegars, one of the
green blessings of the
Why Use Herbal
Vinegars?
Herbal vinegars are an unstoppable
combination: they marry the healing and nutritional properties of apple cider
vinegar with the mineral- and antioxidant- richness of health-protective green
herbs and wild roots. Herbal vinegars are tasty medicine, enriching and
enlivening our food, while building health from the inside
out.
Herbal vinegars are far better for the
bones and the heart than soy beverages. They have a reputation for banishing
grey hair and wrinkles. Sprayed in the armpits, herbal vinegars are highly
effective deodorants. As a hair rinse (try rosemary or lavender vinegar) they
add luster and eliminate split ends.
Anything vinegar can do, including
clean the kitchen, herbal vinegars can do better.
Vinegars Seek
Minerals
Minerals are important for the health
and proper functioning of our bones, our heart and blood vessels, our nerves,
our brain (especially memory), our immune system, and our hormonal glands. No
wonder lack of minerals can lead to chronic problems and getting more can make a
big different in health in a few weeks. One of the best way to get more minerals
-- besides drinking nourishing herbal infusions and eating well-cooked leafy
greens -- is to use herbal vinegars.
Vinegar and Your
Bones
It is not true that ingesting vinegar
will erode your bones. Adding vinegar to your food actually helps build bones
because it frees up minerals from the vegetables you eat and increases the
ability of the stomach to digest minerals. Adding a splash of vinegar to cooked
greens is a classic trick of old ladies who want to be spry and flexible when
they're ancient old ladies. (Maybe your granny already taught you this?) In
fact, a spoonful of vinegar on your broccoli or kale or dandelion greens
increases the calcium you get by one-third. All by itself, apple cider vinegar
is said to help build bones; when enriched with minerals from herbs, I think of
it as better than calcium pills.
Vinegar and
Candida
Some people worry that eating vinegar
will upset the balance of gut flora and contribute to an overgrowth of candida
yeast in the intestines. Some people have been told to avoid vinegar altogether.
My experience has led me to believe that herbal vinegars help health those with
candida overgrowth, perhaps because they're so mineral rich. I've worked with
women who have suffered for years and kept to a strict "anti-candida" diet with
little improvement and seen them get better fast when they add nourishing herbal
vinegars (and fermented foods such as sauerkraut, miso, and yogurt) to their
diets.
Making Herbal Vinegars
Fill any size jar with fresh-cut
aromatic herbs: leaves, stalks, flowers, fruits, roots, and even nuts can be
used. For best results and highest mineral content, be sure the jar is well
filled and chop the herb finely.
Pour room-temperature vinegar into the
jar until it is full. Cover jar: A plastic screw-on lid, several layers of
plastic or wax paper held on with a rubber band, or a cork are the best covers.
Avoid metal lids -- or protect them well with plastic -- as vinegar will corrode
them.
Label the jar with the name of the herb
and the date. Put it some place away from direct sunlight, though it doesn't
have to be in the dark, and someplace that isn't too hot, but not too cold
either. A kitchen cupboard is fine, but choose one that you open a lot so you
remember to use your vinegar, which will be ready in six
weeks.
You can decant your vinegar into a
beautiful serving container, or use it right from the jar you made it
in.
Which
Vinegar?
I use regular pasteurized apple cider
vinegar from the supermarket as the menstrum for my herbal vinegars. I avoid
white vinegar. Malt vinegar, rice vinegar, and wine vinegar can be used but they
are more expensive and may overpower the flavor of the
herbs.
Apple cider vinegar has been used as a
health-giving agent for centuries. Hippocrates, father of medicine, is said to
have used only two remedies: honey and apple cider vinegar. Some of the many
benefits of apple cider vinegar include: better digestion, reduction of
cholesterol, improvements in blood pressure, prevention/care of osteoporosis,
normalization of thyroid/metabolic functioning, possible reduction of cancer
risk, and lessening of wrinkles and grey hair.
Notes for Herbal Vinegar
Makers
* Collect jars of different sizes
for your vinegars. I especially like babyfood jars, mustard jars, olive jars,
peanut butter jars and individual juice jars. Look for plastic lids.
* The wider the mouth of the jar, the
easier it will be to remove the plant material when you're
done.
* Always fill jar to the top with plant
material and vinegar; never fill a jar only part way.
*Really fill the jar. This will take
far more herb or root than you would think. How much? With leaves and stems,
make a comfortable mattress for a fairy: not too tight; and not too loose. With
roots, fill your jar to within a thumb's width of the top.
* After decanting your vinegar into a
beautiful jar, add a spring of whole herb. Pretty.
My Favorite Herbal
Vinegar
Pick the needles of white pine on a
sunny day. Make herbal vinegar with them. Inhale deeply the scent of the forest.
I call this my "homemade balsamic vinegar."
Using Your
Vinegars
Herbal vinegars taste so good, you'll
want to use them frequently. Regular use boosts the nutrient level of your diet
with very little effort and virtually no expense.
* Pour a spoonful or more on beans and
grains as a condiment.
* Use them in salad
dressings.
* Add them to cooked
greens.
* Season stir-frys with them.
* Look for soups that are vinegar
friendly, like borscht.
* Substitute herbal vinegar for plain
vinegar in any recipe.
* Put a big spoonful in a glass of
water and drink it. Try it sweetened with blackstrap molasses for a real mineral
jolt. Many older women swear this "coffee substitute" prevents and eases their
arthritic pains.
Coming up
In our next sessions we will learn more
about herbal medicine making, with a focus on oils, explore the difference
between fixing disease and promoting health, learn how to apply the three
traditions of healing, and how to take charge of our own health care with the
six steps of healing.
Experiment Number
One
Test vinegar's ability to absorb
minerals. Put a fresh bone in a jar and completely cover it with vinegar. What
happens? Does the bone becomes pliable and rubbery? How long does it take? Will
eating vinegar dissolve your bones? Only if you take off your skin and sit in it
for weeks!
Experiment Number
Two
Make egg shell vinegar. Fill a jar
one-quarter full of vinegar. Drop crushed egg shell into it. What happens? Does
the vinegar foam? How long does it take? Egg shells are exceptionally rich in
bone-building minerals. Can you taste the calcium in this vinegar? Add some egg
shell to your other vinegars if you wish to increase their ability to keep your
bones strong.
Experiment Number
Three
Make four or more vinegars with the
same plant, using different types of vinegar, including both pasteurized and
unpasteurized apple cider vinegar. (For the others, use rice vinegar, malt
vinegar, wine vinegar, or even white vinegar, but not umeboshi
vinegar.)
Taste your vinegars daily for a week,
then weekly for five more weeks. You may, if you wish, decant some of your
vinegars for use after six weeks. But you may also wish to keep observing them
as they age (for years, if you wish). I have some vinegars which are more than
thirty years old and still in good shape. Note which stay edible the longest,
and what happens to those that become inedible.
Experiment Number
Four
Buy a quart or more of unpasteurized
apple cider vinegar. Use two cups to make several small herbal vinegars: one
with roots, one with leaves, and one with flowers. Boil the other two cups. Make
one herbal vinegar with the boiling hot vinegar. Make another with the boiled
vinegar after it has cooled. Continue as in experiment number three.
Further study
* Redo experiment number two using
different kinds of egg shells -- white ones and brown ones, store-bought and
farm-bought, from caged birds and free-range birds. Can you see any differences?
Taste or smell any differences?
* Make vinegars at different times of
the year and compare them.
Advanced work
* Unpasteurized vinegar can form a
"mother." In a jar filled with herb and vinegar, the vinegar mother usually
grows across the top of the herb, and looking rather like a damp, thin pancake.
Kombucha is a vinegar mother. Does your local health food store sell mothers?
kombucha? What is a vinegar mother? Is it harmful?
* What is an ionic form of a
mineral?
* What is a mineral
salt?
* How do our bodies uptake and utilize
minerals?

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!

January 15, 2008
After CREATION, I would think that people
had fewer things to believe in and worship than they have to believe in and
worship today. Plaguing the world
now, we have from astrology to witchcraft; from fortune telling to “Ju-Ju”; from
Christianity to idol worship, and the list goes on, as there are scores of
different ways and things to worship and believe in given all the societies of
nations that exist in the thousands.
And none of these sorceries and man-made religions invented after
CREATION can claim to validate the WORD of the CREATOR GOD. The WORD of GOD was only presented and
disseminated by the people with whom the CREATOR GOD made a Covenant: Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob/Israel and his
SEED. There is no place found in
history or in any religious literature to dispute this fact. No one, other than Israelites, can
say with conviction what THUS SAITH THE LORD. And GOD’s WORD is to not follow the
customs of other nations.
“And in all things that I have said
unto you be circumspect: and make no mention of the name of other gods,
neither let it be heard out of thy mouth.” Exodus 23:13
“And the LORD spake unto Moses,
saying, Speak unto the children of
“For these nations, which thou shalt
possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee,

ye shall hearken;”

speaketh unto you, O house of

himself, and
If we really seek after the CREATOR GOD and
HIS Truth, then isn’t it important to give credence to HIS WORD?
What else can we depend on?
What else do we have?
Enough of man’s agenda and the evil imaginations of his heart –
ENOUGH! The customs of man have
gotten us nowhere way too fast.
We know for a fact that the Christian idols
that line the
We know that although people bow down to
these images and pray to them that they have no being…duh! And what’s just as bad is to invent a
god on paper (The “New Testament”) and imagine it to be as Omnipotent as is the
CREATOR.
“Ye shall make you no idols nor
graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any
image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the LORD your
God.” Leviticus
26:1
“Thou shalt not bow down thyself
unto 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,” Deuteronomy
5:9
“The idols of the heathen are silver
and gold, the work of men's hands. They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes
have they, but they see not; They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there
any breath in their mouths. They that make them are like unto them: so is every
one that trusteth in them” Psalm 135:15 -
18
But some of us are still stupid enough to
talk and bow down to them anyway.
They see nothing wrong with that.
So, why not talk and bow down to our food before we eat it, or pray to
our beds to give us a good night’s sleep before we lay down in it? Surely, if we will bow and pray to an
idol, we can do likewise to our food and to our beds, right? WRONG! The CREATOR gave us a brain, and my
brain tells me to use wisdom and seek to bow and pray to the CREATOR GOD.
Also, we should know that the CREATOR GOD is
so totally against the worship of anything other than
HIMSELF.
“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;” Exodus 20:3 –
5
HE is the GOD that formed all these Heavenly
and Earthly things and from the breath of HIS Mouth, and for that reason, HE
WANTS ALL THE GLORY, albeit, HE is most certainly due it!
“By the word of the LORD were the
heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his
mouth.” Psalm 33:6
“Lift up your eyes on high, and
behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number:
he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is
strong in power; not one faileth” Isaiah 40:26
“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;” Isaiah 44:24
“I form the light, and create
darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these
things.” Isaiah 45:7
For that reason, the CREATOR GOD has the
right to be JEALOUS for HIS Holy Name’s Sake and for the Wondrous Works that
ONLY HE can bring to fruition.
And let us not forget that being the CREATOR GOD, HE knows those who
trust in HIM.
“The LORD is good, a strong hold in
the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him.” Nahum 1:7
When we learn the Truth about the CREATOR
GOD, then that is the time to stop believing in idols made by man and/or idols
made by fabricated stories, and that is the time to start seeking the WORD of
the CREATOR GOD – THE ONLY WORD THAT COUNTS!
We would be so Blessed if only we will
realize that the True and Living GOD exists, and that HE has left HIS WORD
for all who thirst for it.
Thus, we should realize that HE is on the
side of those who seek HIS Truth and will believe in ONLY HIM and HIS WORD to
accept it and to live it in Righteousness.
Since CREATION, GOD has been JUST and FAIR to reason with the people HE
formed to inhabit HIS Earth. HIS
WORD to mankind was presented long before 4 BCE, but rather in the BEGINNING
where it makes sense to present GOD’s WORD that HE wants the people HE formed to
live by.
The CREATOR GOD explained to the human
beings HE formed exactly what HE expected of them and how they should live their
lives. From the BEGINNING, Adam and Eve and
mankind knew well the meaning of disobedience and sin from the curses laid upon
them. Even of greater significance,
after Adam and Eve’s Great Sin in the Garden of Eden, people after them learned
what it meant to suffer the heartache and sorrows of death, hard labor with
childbirth, and working by the sweat of their brow, but they still were not
phased to Fear their MAKER, the GOD whose Spirit strove with them since their
inception. We know that these
people did not FEAR their CREATOR, cared even less about their lives than they
did about GOD’s WORD, otherwise, there would have been no FLOOD of Noah’s day to
destroy them.
“And God saw that the wickedness of
man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his
heart was only evil continually. And it repented the LORD that he had made
man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. face of the earth; both man,
and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me
that I have made them.” Genesis 6:5 – 7
We know from what’s written that it is
indeed possible to walk with the CREATOR GOD because this is how Noah directed
his life. He was “perfect in his
generations.” GOD told him,
“Thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.” From this commendation, we must accept
the fact that there is a way and means to please the CREATOR, as we can see with
HIS conversation with Noah.
Hence, our wisdom should tell us that we just have to accept HIS WORD
and behave accordingly.
Unlike the people who exist at this day and
time, Noah knew GOD and knew this GOD to be the ONE and ONLY GOD to serve, obey,
and worship. We can rest assured that Noah, just like
Elijah and Jonah believed in ONLY the CREATOR GOD of Israel. I could go on about GOD’s Prophet
Elijah, but for now I want to highlight one of the main reasons for the
brilliance of the Book of Jonah, and I pray to do it justice in my effort to
give all Glory to the GOD of Israel.
How many times have we debated the same
Messianics on the topic of the GOD of Israel being the ONLY CREATOR GOD and
SAVIOR, and that we must give HIM all our heart and soul and not
JC? If I had ten bucks for each time I
presented unequivocal WORD of GOD on this topic, I would be rich. But yet and still the Messianics would
continue to hold fast to JC despite GOD’s WORD placed before them. O that Messianics would realize the
Truth, as quickly as did the believers of false gods on board the ship Jonah
sailed to Joppa. Needless to
say, when the “shipmaster” told everyone to cry unto their gods, he obviously
did not have too much credence in his own god. Knowing that I serve and worship the ONE
True and Living GOD, not under any circumstances would I tell others to pray to
their gods. What sense would that
make?
Because of the raging sea, the seamen knew
there was a reason for all the evil upon them, and consequently, they cast
lots which determined that Jonah was the culprit for their troubles. That verdict was the catalyst in these
men believing in the GOD of Israel.
Jonah matter-of-factly told the seamen,
“I am a Hebrew; and I fear the LORD, the GOD of Heaven, which hath made the
sea and the dry land.”
When the men heard this they were
“exceedingly afraid,” and for good reason.
These men were wise enough to know for a fact that their gods were but
idols, made by man’s hands – gods that could not have formed the Universe
because they had not even formed themselves.
But get this! These men had not heard any WORD from
GOD or seen any visions in their dreams.
They had only just seen HIS WORKS and learned about HIM, and that alone
made them believers in the GOD of the Hebrews. Of great significance, we also know
that given only what Jonah had told them, they even prayed to his
GOD.
“Wherefore they cried unto the LORD,
and said, We beseech thee, O LORD, we beseech thee, let us not perish for this
man's life, and lay not upon us innocent blood: for thou, O LORD, hast done as
it pleased thee.” Jonah 1:14
If they were not thoroughly convinced of the
CREATOR being GOD, then after casting Jonah into the raging sea, and seeing how
it calmed, surely then they Feared this CREATOR GOD for the rest of their
lives. Who
wouldn’t?!
“So they took up Jonah, and cast him
forth into the sea: and the sea ceased from her raging. Then the men feared the
LORD exceedingly, and offered a sacrifice unto the LORD, and made
vows.” Jonah
1:15,16
For me, this is the beauty of the story of
Jonah: to learn the Truth about the CREATOR GOD and straightaway accept HIM,
just as did the seamen in the Book of Jonah. Surely, their vow was to worship the GOD
of the Hebrew because HE proved HIMSELF to be GOD. O that all the world, especially
Hebrew Israelites with belief in a Messiah or other man-made god, would be so
wise to recognize Truth when faced with it and accept it without making the
matter an issue for debate.
HOW
IMPORTANT IS IT FOR US
TO KNOW
THE WORD OF GOD?
“Observe and
hear all these words which I command thee,
that it may go
well with thee, and with thy children after thee for ever,
when thou
doest that which is good and right
in the sight
of the LORD thy God.”
Deuteronomy
12:28
In that vein, I am reminded of the
children’s party game, whereby, a number of kids, usually numbering around ten,
sit or stand beside each other in a line, as someone (an adult or another child)
whispers one sentence (without repeating it) about something unimportant in the
ear of the first child. This first
child turns to the second child and whispers what was heard (or what he/she
thought was said) into the ear of the second child, and the second child does
likewise until the message ends up with the last child who states aloud what the
first child supposedly said.
Usually the message is so distorted that nothing can be deciphered.
Now, picture this: twenty men, all Prophets of the CREATOR
GOD sitting side-by-side, and GOD gives the first prophet HIS WORD. But instead of the first prophet turning
to the second one to pass on the message, the last prophet immediately stands
and reveals GOD’s Message.
This brief narrative may be an odd way to
prove a point, but it is presented and demonstrated hundreds of times over in
the Hebrew Scriptures. GOD
reiterated HIS WORD to all HIS Prophets, and not any of HIS Messages were
altered or diminished. All GOD’s
Prophets spoke the same Truth from Moses to Malachi. They all knew HIS WORD and what to tell
HIS Covenant People: KEEP GOD’s
LAW/WORD and BE BLESSED, or REJECT IT and BE CURSED.
“Since the day that your fathers
came forth out of the land of Egypt unto this day I have even sent unto you all
my servants the prophets, daily rising up early and sending
them: Yet they
hearkened not unto me, nor inclined their ear, but hardened their neck: they did
worse than their fathers.”
Jeremiah 7:25,26
“And thou shalt say unto them, Thus
saith the LORD; If ye will not hearken to me, to walk in my law, which I have
set before you, To hearken to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I sent
unto you, both rising up early, and sending them, but ye have not hearkened;
Then will I make this house like Shiloh, and will make this city a curse to all
the nations of the earth.” Jeremiah 26:4 -
6
And the wonderful thing about knowing GOD’s
WORD from thousands of years ago, is that HIS WORD is still very much valid for
us who seek to know this Great GOD of Israel and HIS Paths of Righteousness that
we must live and do with all our heart and soul.
HIS Ways of Righteousness are consistent and proved to be a JUST Way
of Life for Israelites and all peoples upon the face of this Earth who will
embrace them. This CREATOR GOD is
GOD and must be Feared and worshipped, for indeed HE ALONE is the True and
Living GOD.
“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
Now, get twenty Clergymen together, and ask
them about how to serve and worship GOD, and you will get twenty different
opinions, just as you have twenty and more different Christian denominations,
albeit none of which teach the WORD that GOD gave to the Children of Israel that
enables them to live in Righteousness.
REALITY
AND TRUTH
“I am the
LORD, your Holy One, the creator of
“This people
have I formed for myself;
they shall
shew forth my praise.”
Isaiah
43:15,21
“Then shall ye
call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me,
and I will
hearken unto you.
29:13 And ye
shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for
me
with all your
heart.
29:14 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 29:12 –
14
“Who is a God
like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity,
and passeth by
the transgression of the remnant of his heritage?
he retaineth
not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in
mercy.”
Micah
7:18
Have you ever given serious attention to how
GOD talked with Adam, Noah, and Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob? Consider HIS dealings with
them:
GOD’s WORD to
Adam:
“And the LORD God called unto Adam,
and said unto him, Where art thou?
And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I
was naked; and I hid myself. And he
said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree,
whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?” Genesis 3:9 –
11
GOD’s WORD to
Noah:
“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. Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by
sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the
male and his female.”
Genesis 7:1,2
GOD’s WORD to
Abram:
“Now the LORD had said unto Abram,
Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's
house, unto a land that I will shew thee:
And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make
thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless thee,
and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be
blessed.” Genesis 12:1 –
3
“And when Abram was ninety years old
and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty
God; walk before me, and be thou perfect. And I will make my covenant between me
and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly.”
Genesis 17:1,2
“As for me, behold, my covenant is
with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations. Neither shall thy name
any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many
nations have I made thee. And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will
make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.” Genesis 17:4 –
6
GOD’s WORD to
Isaac:
“And there was a famine in the land,
beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto
Abimelech king of the Philistines unto Gerar. And the LORD appeared unto him,
and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee
of: Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto
thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries, and I will perform the
oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father; And I will make thy seed to multiply
as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in
thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; Because that Abraham obeyed my voice,
and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.” Genesis 26:1 –
5
GOD’s WORD to
Jacob/Israel:
“And, behold, the LORD stood above
it, and said, I am the LORD God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac:
the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed; And thy
seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the
west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in
thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed. And, behold, I am with
thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee
again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I
have spoken to thee of. And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said,
Surely the LORD is in this place; and I knew it not.” Genesis 28:13 –
16
“And the LORD said unto Jacob,
Return unto the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred; and I will be with
thee.” Genesis
31:3
Fabulous, right?! It is amazing and extraordinary that the
CREATOR GOD has left all this positive information for us. And I’m sure GOD’s Prophets felt
special, having HIS visions to share with the Children of Israel – something
that was not always a pleasurable task because the news was, in most cases, of
gloom and doom given their incessant transgressions against their GOD. However the fact that the ALL-MIGHTY GOD
that Created the sun, moon, the Earth, you and me and all peoples and all things
would deal directly with us is too awesome to describe. Yet consider this: aren’t all these encounters and Messages
of the WORD of GOD supposed to be for our guidance?
“THE WORD OF THE LORD” and “THUS SAITH THE
LORD” are two of the most powerful insights we can realize and that must be
recognized as the only Righteous authority that exists for us of any
significance until GOD sends us HIS Pastors.
After all, GOD did give HIS WORD to HIS Prophets in the form of “THUS
SAITH THE LORD.”
Where is GOD’s WORD and HIS Conversation
with JC? Shouldn’t JC echo the same
WORD of GOD given to GOD’s Prophets?
In following GOD’s WORD and HIS Ways of
Righteousness, if HE has not Commanded Israel to worship another god, then we
cannot. Thus, we cannot think or
even consider making JC anything to be compared with the CREATOR GOD. Given all their wisdom and
Righteousness, not even GOD’s Angels, Prophets, or the “saviours” HE sent to
deliver HIS People out of the hands of their enemies were compared to HIM, and
they did more in GOD’s Holy Name than any JC. And the reason is that these men of
GOD knew well that the CREATOR GOD is GOD, and that there is none else. They also knew well to Fear this Great
GOD and be obedient to HIS WORD and Directives. As it was with the seamen in the Book of
Jonah, no one need tell the wise whom to Fear.
As I have recorded many times, GOD’s WORD is
not new. HE established HIS WORD when HE Created
the Heavens and the Earth many thousands of years ago. And with the formation of man, GOD told
him how he should live. Clearly,
there was no need for the diverse, confusing, and mysterious Christian
denominations to plague them.
People should understand by now that a trip to the library can easily
determine who invented these Christian religions or any religion for that
matter. By the way, GOD gave the
Children of Israel a Way of Life, not a religion.
“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
8:2,3
Adam, Noah, and Abraham all knew GOD’s WORD
and what HE expected of them. And
when the GOD of Israel took HIS Covenant People into the Wilderness, HE again
made HIS WORD known. Today, Our GOD
has not diminished HIS Mercy, for HIS WORD is yet with us, if we will only take
heed to it.
“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
“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! Go say to them, Get you into your
tents again. But as for thee, stand thou here by me, and I will speak unto
thee all the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which thou shalt
teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess it.
Ye shall observe to do therefore as the LORD your God hath commanded you: ye
shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left. Ye shall walk in all the
ways which the LORD your God hath commanded you, that ye may live, and that it
may be well with you, and that ye may prolong your days in the land which ye
shall possess.”
Deuteronomy 5:29 – 33
DO WE NOT REALIZE that we are again faced
with going into GOD’s Land to live and do HIS LAW and not turn aside to the
right hand or to the left, but to walk in all GOD’s Righteous Ways, so that it
will go well for us and so that Our GOD of Israel will be with
us.
“And now, Israel, what doth the LORD
thy God require of thee, but to fear the LORD thy God, to walk in all his ways,
and to love him, and to serve the LORD thy God with all thy heart and with all
thy soul, To keep the commandments of the LORD, and his statutes, which I
command thee this day for thy good? ” Deuteronomy
10:12,13
“And he said, The LORD came from
Sinai, and rose up from Seir unto them; he shined forth from
“Then the LORD said unto me,
Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of
Jerusalem, saying, Hear ye the words of this covenant, and do them. For I
earnestly protested unto your fathers in the day that I brought them up out of
the land of Egypt, even unto this day, rising early and protesting, saying, Obey
my voice.” Jeremiah
11:6,7
Why can’t all the world and we see that
GOD’s Righteous Way of Life is a gift laden with happiness, peace, and
prosperity, if we will only
live by HIS Ways. GOD’s Laws,
Statutes, and Judgments are all we need and are all that’s required of
us.
There is nothing confusing and/or mysterious
about how the CREATOR wants us to serve and worship HIM and live Righteously on
HIS planet Earth and in the
“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.” Nehemiah
9:27
“Howbeit thou art just in all that
is brought upon us; for thou hast done right, but we have done wickedly: Neither have our kings, our princes, our
priests, nor our fathers, kept thy law, nor hearkened unto thy commandments and
thy testimonies, wherewith thou didst testify against them. For they have not
served thee in their kingdom, and in thy great goodness that thou gavest them,
and in the large and fat land which thou gavest before them, neither turned they
from their wicked works.” Nehemiah 9:33 –
35
“But 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.” Jeremiah
7:23
“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
And because Our GOD of Israel knows the
potency of HIS Divine LAW, HE will bring us again unto HIS wonderful Paths of
Righteousness.
“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: 31:32 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: 31:33 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 everyman 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
“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
DID GOD SEND JC
TO THE LOST SHEEP
OF THE HOUSE OF
Read GOD’s WORD
carefully, and discern the TRUTH of the matter!
O, yes, it should occur to those who believe
in a Messiah/JC that each “saviour” GOD sent to deliver HIS People out of the
hands of their enemies (Nehemiah 9:27) was obedient and accomplished his/her
goal. That is, everyone except JC, i.e., if we
are to believe the words and teachings of this man. Now, under certain circumstances, we can
assume one of three things, as to why JC defied GOD. Either GOD did not send JC to the Lost
Sheep of the House of Israel, JC was following his own agenda, or the Israelites
weren’t there for JC to save.
Just for the record, the GOD of Israel did
not send JC to the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel. That was all a fabricated and
ill-conceived lie! Read the
following Hebrew Scriptures that prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that GOD’s
intentions were to scatter HIS Covenant People, Israel, and to punish them in
the harshest of ways for forsaking HIM and for rejecting HIS Laws, Statutes, and
Judgments.
“Behind the doors also and the posts
hast thou set up thy remembrance: for thou hast discovered thyself to another
than me, and art gone up; thou hast enlarged thy bed, and made thee a
covenant with them; thou lovedst their bed where thou sawest it.” Isaiah 57:8
“And the LORD saith, Because they
have forsaken my law which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice,
neither walked therein;
“Therefore thus saith the LORD of
hosts, the God of
“Therefore thus saith the LORD,
Behold, I will bring evil upon them, which they shall not be able to escape; and
though they shall cry unto me, I will not hearken unto
them.
“Therefore pray not thou for this
people, neither
lift up a cry or prayer for them: for I will not hear them in the time that they
cry unto me for their trouble.
“Therefore thus saith the LORD of
hosts, Behold, I will punish them: the young men shall die by the
sword; their sons and their daughters shall die by famine:” Jeremiah
11:11,14,22
“I have forsaken mine house, I have
left mine heritage;
I have given the dearly beloved of my soul into the hand of her enemies. Mine
heritage is unto me as a lion in the forest; it crieth out against me: therefore
have I hated it.” Jeremiah
12:7,8
“But thou shouldest not have looked
on the day of thy brother in the day that he became a stranger; neither
shouldest thou have rejoiced over the children of

excellency of Jacob, Surely I will never forget any of their
works.” Amos 8:2,3,7
“And though they go into captivity
before their enemies, thence will I command the sword, and it shall slay them:
and I will set mine eyes upon them for evil, and not for
good. And the

dwell therein shall mourn: and it shall rise up wholly like a flood; and shall
be drowned, as by the flood of
THINK, PEOPLE,
THINK!!!
All the above passages prove that GOD did
not send JC to save the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel, as they were
experiencing HIS Wrath and some serious troubles even during the days of
Nehemiah. Moreover, I ask, from
where did the writers of the “New Testament” get their so-called inspiration, if
GOD’s WORD stipulates that there would be a famine for hearing the WORDS of the
LORD?
“Behold, the days come, saith the
Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a
thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD: And they shall wander from sea to sea,
and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word
of the LORD, and shall not find it.” Amos 8:11,12
It’s so very important to read GOD’s WORD,
i.e., what THUS SAITH THE LORD. If
we don’t, we will forever remain in Darkness – gross DARKNESS!
LOOK AT THE FACTS!
The GOD of Israel did not send JC to the Lost Sheep of the House of
Israel. Actually, the Truth of the
matter is that JC NEVER EXISTED, except on paper. For that reason, he is a result of evil
imaginations of the men who invented him with their so-called “inspirations”
that have deceived the world.
KNOW BIBLICAL HISTORY!
The Ten Tribes, called the House of Israel, had already been taken into
captivity by the Assyrians hundreds of years before JC’s so-called
“Coming”. And because the
House of
“Howbeit thou art just in all that
is brought upon us; for thou hast done right, but we have done wickedly: Behold, we are servants this day, and
for the land that thou gavest unto our fathers to eat the fruit thereof and the
good thereof, behold, we are servants in it: 9:37 And it yieldeth much increase
unto the kings whom thou hast set over us because of our sins: also they have
dominion over our bodies, and over our cattle, at their pleasure, and we are in
great distress.” Nehemiah
9:33,36,37
Even Obadiah is clear on the fulfillment of
GOD’s curses upon rebellious Israelites.
This Prophet wrote about
“For thy violence against thy
brother Jacob shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever. In the day that thou stoodest on the
other side, in the day that the strangers carried away captive his forces,
and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots upon Jerusalem, even
thou wast as one of them. But thou shouldest not have looked on the day of
thy brother in the day that he became a stranger; neither shouldest thou have
rejoiced over the children of

be desolate, and the sanctuaries of

shall not be delivered. And the Lord GOD of hosts is he that toucheth the land,

cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence,
and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.” Isaiah 1:7
“Therefore, behold, I will proceed
to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder:
for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their
prudent men shall be hid.”
Isaiah 29:14
“Yea, before the day was I am he;
and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall
let it? ” Isaiah 43:13
If the writers made JC a
Messiah/saviour/god of the Trinity, then he proved them to be liars, as he has
saved no one, and much less whom he was supposedly sent to
save.
“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.” Jeremiah
5:19
“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. Since the day that your fathers
came forth out of the land of Egypt unto this day I have even sent unto you all
my servants the prophets, daily rising up early and sending them: Yet they
hearkened not unto me, nor inclined their ear, but hardened their neck: they did
worse than their fathers. Therefore thou shalt speak all these words unto them;
but they will not hearken to thee: thou shalt also call unto them; but they will
not answer thee.”
Jeremiah 7:24 – 27
“But thou shalt say unto them, This
is a nation that obeyeth not the voice of the LORD their God, nor receiveth
correction: truth
is perished, and is cut off from their mouth.
“And the carcases of this people
shall be meat for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth; and
none shall fray them away. Then will I cause to cease from the cities of Judah,
and from the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of mirth, and the voice of
gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride: for the land
shall be desolate.” Jeremiah
7:28,33,34

servants the prophets, rising early and sending them, saying, Oh, do not this
abominable thing that I hate. But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear to

poured forth, and was kindled in the cities of
This is what’s reality. It’s knowing the GOD’s Truth. It’s seeking GOD’s WORD and using it
to discern what’s right and what’s wrong.
And it’s all about being able to determine what’s fictitious and what’s
GOD’s WORD.
At this late day and time, it is incumbent
upon us to be circumspect about everything and everybody! GOD’s WORD is an open book, we do not
need to be brainwashed in any way.
We have GOD’s Book of the Law, so let’s make it our guide and stop
listening to man and following his theologies. More importantly, we must remember
GOD’s Covenant, for we are the People with whom HE made the Promise to be Our
GOD.
“But thou shalt remember the LORD
thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may
establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day. And
it shall be, if thou do at all forget the LORD thy God, and walk after other
gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that ye
shall surely perish. As the nations which the LORD
destroyeth before your face, so shall ye perish; because ye would not be
obedient unto the voice of the LORD your God” Deuteronomy 8:18 –
20
“But now thus saith the LORD that
created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have
redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. When thou passest through the
waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow
thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither
shall the flame kindle upon thee.
For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of

sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give

gather thee from the west; I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not
back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth; Even
every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have
formed him; yea, I have made him.”
Isaiah 43:4 – 7
“Ye are my witnesses, saith the
LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and
understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there
be after me. I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour. I have
declared, and have saved, and I have shewed, when there was no strange god among
you: therefore ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, that I am
God.” Isaiah 43:10 -
12
“This people have I formed for
myself; they shall shew forth my praise.” Isaiah 43:21
THIS IS
REALITY AND THE TRUTH OF GOD’s WORD!
These passages cannot be disputed. If we want to live to enjoy our heritage
and live to see the CREATOR exist in HIS Holy Temple in Jerusalem, then it is
our obligation to return to HIM and take heed to HIS Righteous Laws, Statutes,
and Judgments, for since the beginning of time, mankind has suffered from
defying this CREATOR GOD.

In light of this Truth, how can any credence
be given to the Christian god, JC, who has no word or reality in the Hebrew
Scriptures and has no place in GOD’s WORD, i.e., GOD made no mention of this so-called
“Saviour” but on the contrary begs to differ with him and with all he stands for
and in the strongest of terms.
Will GOD share HIS
“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
One of the most important things people can
do, if they seek to know the truth about Christianity is to read the historical
events that led up to the invention of the Christian religion. One only need make a trip to the
library, or if one is computer literate, by all means, search the Web for this
information.
GOD’s
FOR HIS
GLORY, WORSHIP, AND PRAISE
GOD was delighted when King David offered to
build a Temple for the Holy ONE of Israel, and HE expressed HIS appreciation
with gratitude. At another time after the 70-year
Babylonian captivity and during the days of Darius the King when Zerubbabel was
Governor, GOD again wanted HIS
“Go up to the mountain, and bring
wood, and build the house; and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be
glorified, saith the LORD.”
Haggai 1:8
Today, who is there among the Israelites
even with a thought to build GOD’s
The world in which we now strive to live has
become waste (not to mention corrupt) to say the least, albeit very interesting
and comparable to another time.
Back in the days of the Israelites who had returned from Babylonian
captivity, GOD caused a severe drought and food became scarce, all because the
Israelites would not refurbish GOD’s
“Ye looked for much, and, lo it came
to little; and when
ye brought it home, I did blow upon it. Why? saith the LORD of hosts. Because of
mine house that is waste, and ye run every man unto his own house. Therefore the
heaven over you is stayed from dew, and the earth is stayed from her fruit. And
I called for a drought upon the land, and upon the mountains, and upon the
corn, and upon the new wine, and upon the oil, and upon that which the ground
bringeth forth, and upon men, and upon cattle, and upon all the labour of the
hands.” Haggai 1:9 – 11
GOD wanted the Glory then, and HE wants it
now. Consider this: these days there is constant talk about
“Global Warming”. We see and hear
about glaciers melting, droughts across the globe, shortages of water all over
the world, and bizarre weather patterns.
Well, let me tell you; “Global Warming” has nothing to do with these ACTS
of GOD. When GOD made the Land a
“desolation”, after casting out the Israelites, was that attributed to “Global
Warming” or a remarkable ACT of GOD?
The GOD of

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
61:8,11
“And many nations shall be joined to
the LORD in that day, and shall be my people: and I will dwell in the midst of
thee, and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto thee.” Zechariah 2:11
Our GOD has brought us out of gross Darkness
for the purpose of serving and worshipping HIM according to HIS Ways of
Righteousness and for HIS Praise and Glory.
That means GOD’s Book of the Law must be the
only Way of Life in our hearts for it is this Book that Magnifies ONE GOD – The
GOD of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob/Israel and HIS Laws, Statutes, and
Judgments. The GOD of
ONE:
Our GOD does not tolerate the worship of anyone or anything but HIM. The reason is simple. If we embrace other religions and their
gods, then these pagan theologies would replace GOD’s Way of Life that HE
designed to be kept unto a thousand generations, which is basically
FOREVER.
TWO:
Thus, we are Commanded to neither add to nor diminish from HIS Book of
the Law that HE gave to HIS Prophet Moses to teach to the Children of Israel, no
matter how spiritual, right, and true it might appear to be. By now, surely we must realize that
GOD’s WORD has been proven. When we
look to other gods, we invariably forsake the CREATOR GOD that established us
and the
“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
“But as for thee, stand thou here by
me, and I will speak unto thee all the commandments, and the statutes, and the
judgments, which thou shalt teach them, that they may do them in the land which
I give them to possess it. Ye shall observe to do therefore as the LORD your God
hath commanded you: ye shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left. Ye
shall walk in all the ways which the LORD your God hath commanded you, that ye
may live, and that it may be well with you, and that ye may prolong your days in
the land which ye shall possess.” Deuteronomy 5:31 –
33
“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 withersoever 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.” Joshua 1:7,8
When Our GOD cast us, HIS Covenant People,
from the Land and into the hands of the heathen, HE left the world to feign for
itself with ways people deemed better than the CREATOR’s.
Consequently, from living as we choose to do for millennia, we have
invented the worst evils ever recorded in history even worse than those of
Noah’s day that caused the Great Flood of 40 days and 40 nights:
TODAY THERE ARE EXTREME CASES
OF race hatred, lust,
adultery, abuse (of men, women, and children), lying and stealing, greed, power,
corruption, false worship of all manner of gods, astrology, witchcraft, sorcery,
murder, exploitation, war, destruction, disease, pollution, occupation of other
people’s lands, and blatant deception.
And thus, mankind transformed GOD’s Earth
from a place of paradise into a place comparable to a Hell on
Earth. However, Our GOD of Israel can change
all that if we are ready with HIS Book of the Law in our hearts to now
live according to HIS Ways and re-establish HIS Kingdom, one that will have the
entire world worshipping HIM in
“This people have I formed for
myself; they shall shew forth my praise.” Isaiah 43:21
Therefore, don’t everyone shout at
once. Who is ready to be the “he
goats” before the flocks and start to fulfill GOD’s WORD and bring it to
pass? Remember, we must be strong for we just
might be faced with the same challenges that our forefathers faced in the
Wilderness. However, this time we
are the wiser. We have been
forewarned, and all we need do is put all our hope, faith, trust, and belief in
the Holy ONE of Israel and hold fast to HIS Book of the Law, for this is exactly
what HE will be looking for.
“For I will restore health unto
thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the LORD; because they called
thee an Outcast, saying, This is
“Remove out of the midst of
Finally, of utmost importance, we must
return to Our GOD and to our heritage and abandon the customs and lifestyles of
our captors for that of our own. We
must remember the Covenant Our GOD made with our forefathers and be obedient to
the WORDS of this LAW, as we have been Commanded, for as we can see, Our GOD
will not have it any other way.
“Cursed be he that confirmeth not
all the words of this law to do them. And all the people shall say,
Amen.” Deuteronomy
27:26
“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:” Exodus 19:5

them, according to all which I command you: so shall ye be my people, and I will
be your God:” Jeremiah
11:3,4

Moreover, there will be peace and serenity
on HIS Earth, and we will have no reason to fear for the wickedness of others,
for Israelites and all Nations will Fear this Great GOD of Israel to serve and
worship ONLY HIM in Truth and in Righteousness.
“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 I know their works and their
thoughts: it shall come, that I will gather all nations and tongues; and they

“And it shall come to pass, that
from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh

the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will
dwell in the midst of the children of Israel for ever, and my holy name, shall
the house of Israel no more defile, neither they, nor their kings, by their
whoredom, nor by the carcases of their kings in their high
places.” Ezekiel 43:7
“The LORD will be terrible unto
them: for he will famish all the gods of the earth; and men shall worship him,
every one from his place, even all the isles of the heathen.” Zephaniah

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

And what a Glorious time that will be when
we will finally live according to the WORD of GOD on the planet Earth that HE
established for the Righteous!
“Who is wise,
and he shall understand these things? prudent, and
he shall know
them? for the ways of the LORD are right, and the just

THE SMOKESCREEN
We
can assume the Universe was established by a “Big Bang,” or we can seek a more
intelligent theory.
The more intelligent reasoning is that a Supreme Being did in fact Create the Heavens, Earth, and all things therein. Then the issue becomes, “Did this Supreme Being intend for HIS CREATION to exist in such a chaotic state of absolute Hell, as it is now?” If not, then it is incumbent upon us to seek answers for the present horrific state of affairs in the Land of Israel and the rest of the Middle East that is capable of spreading to other countries even to the United States.
It is not likely that this Supreme Being did not
advise the people of HIS Creation IN THE BEGINNING of how to live in goodness
and in peace with each other, which certainly entailed how to worship HIM for
giving them life. For there not to
exist harmony and happiness on this Earth, it is evident that from the looks of
things and from the ever-present catastrophic events taking place on Earth, this
Supreme Being is furious with the peoples HE Created.
This
is where we are now. The CREATOR is
Judging the peoples of HIS Creation and is taking back HIS Universe.
History
proves that
The
Palestinians have been in the land since the reign of King Saul, and the
European Israelis have been a State since 1948, opening their doors to other
converted Europeans and whomsoever else wishing to take part in this Talmudic
process and live off the fat of GOD’s Holy Land. The Palestinians and the Israelis have
been at war ever since. If these
two groups can live together anywhere in the world except in
THE
TRUTH ABOUT CONVERSION TO SO-CALLED “JUDAISM”
The
world should connect the dots and learn the truth regarding the Europeans who
control GOD’s
And
their being scattered into the “Four Corners of the Earth” to serve their
enemies has everything to do with the problems in the Middle East, as this
crisis relates to the CREATOR GOD taking back HIS Universe, HIS Holy Land, HIS
Holy City, and HIS Chosen People.
The Israelis know this. They
see the handwriting on the wall, but they are fighting the CREATOR GOD tooth and
nail. That’s what this war is all
about - Israeli control - to keep out the SEED of Jacob whom GOD is calling
home. Hence, the Israelis, even if
time permitted, would not give the Palestinians their State for fear the
Israelites would seek to live there also.
And just for the record, one can learn about the true identity of the
descendants of Jacob by reading what the CREATOR GOD of
The
Israelis have a rabid requirement to control all the
“Therefore
thus saith the Lord GOD; I have lifted up mine hand, Surely the heathen that are
about you, they shall bear their shame. But ye, O mountains of
Ezekiel
36:7 – 10
Now,
the Truth is out. This is the
reason for the decades of turmoil, death, and destruction over GOD’s
Conversely,
Israelis are putting too much false hope in their military powers. When it comes to the Children of Israel,
the CREATOR GOD fights their battles, and since it is time for their return,
there is nothing Israeli’ weaponry can do to stop GOD’s Commandment from
manifesting.
The
Israelites were formed to show forth GOD’s Praise and to be a light to the world
for HIS Ways of Righteousness – HIS Book of the Law (the teachings of the
Prophet Moses – NOT the Talmud compiled by European “Jews”).
“Thus
saith God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that
spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath
unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein: I the LORD have
called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and
give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;”
Isaiah
42:5,6
“This
people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise.” Isaiah 43:21
And
it is for this reason the Supreme Being, or rather the CREATOR GOD of Israel is
taking back HIS magnificent Universe and making it a place of Divine Peace, one
that Exalts and Magnifies HIM for all HIS Wondrous Works.
The
CREATOR GOD has held HIS Peace for a very long time, all because of the curses
HE put on HIS Chosen People for forsaking HIM for false gods and for rejecting
HIS LAW. Their rebellion caused GOD
to cast HIS People into the hands of the heathen, and HE went into seclusion
permitting Gentiles to run the world and teach HIS People a lesson that would
send them running back to HIM seeking forgiveness with contrite spirits.
“I
have long time holden my peace; I have been still, and refrained myself: now
will I cry like a travailing woman; I will destroy and devour at once.” Isaiah 42:14
For
a long time people believed that the European “Jews” were really the people of
the Bible, but the CREATOR knows HIS Chosen People, the SEED of Abraham, Isaac,
and Jacob, the men with whom HE made an Everlasting Covenant (Genesis 17:1 – 21).
From
the Slave Trade to world hatred, and enduring racism and discrimination all over
the world, Blacks have suffered at the hands of those who ruled over them. But now, the CREATOR GOD of Israel is
awakening the Dry Bones and calling HIS People home to the chagrin and utter
dismay of European Israelis who are helpless to do anything about it but who
still have plans to thwart the WORD of GOD. Trust me, their efforts will not end in
victory, and nothing since 1948 has even given them hope that they could take
the place of the SEED of Jacob/Israel (Genesis 32:28) – neither by conversion
nor submersion.
Thus,
the reasons for the war for Israeli control of GOD’s Land and the reasons for a
world of troubled times, disasters, endless suffering, despair, and many, many
tears.
The
CREATOR is taking back HIS Universe and keeping HIS Everlasting Promises to
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the Patriarchs of the Nation of
“And
it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and such as are
escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again stay upon him that smote
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

“And
it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the
second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from
Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and
from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.” Isaiah 11:11
“For
as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me,
saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain.” Isaiah 66:22
“Thus
saith the LORD; Behold, I will bring again the captivity of Jacob's tents, and
have mercy on his dwellingplaces; and the city shall be builded upon her own
heap, and the palace shall remain after the manner thereof. And out of them
shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry: and I will
multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will also glorify them, and they
shall not be small. Their children also shall be as aforetime, and their
congregation shall be established before me, and I will punish all that oppress
them. And their nobles shall be of themselves, and their governor shall proceed
from the midst of them; and I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach
unto me: for who is this that engaged his heart to approach unto me? saith the
LORD.”

at that time I will undo all that afflict thee: and I will save her that

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 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.

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

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
I
would think that to take diligent heed means to be extremely cautious to keep
GOD’s LAW, read and study it, DO IT, and pray to the GOD of Israel for wisdom to
understand it. And in addition
to that common sense would be to either join with others so determined or be
alone in returning back to the Holy ONE and what’s required of the SEED of
Jacob.
This
might seem ever so trivial a detail to some, but it means a world to the GOD of
Israel. You see, I used to belong
to Ben Ammi’s group, and I left for many reasons, but mainly because he was
allowing people to call him JC and “Saviour” and because he was not concerned
about GOD’s LAW and much less about taking heed to live and do it.
What
truly, truly disturbs me is that there are people encouraging Israelites to join
up with Ben Ammi and accept his title – “Messianic Leader,” as well as the
blasphemous notion that the True and Living GOD would have such a congregation
to represent HIM. Yes, of course
the so-called “KOY” exists, but it does not represent the GOD of Israel and HIS
LAW, i.e., HIS Ways of Righteousness that HE Commanded of the Prophet Moses to
teach to the Nation of Israel. This
group does not in any way signify the
The
“KOY” is a congregation of people calling themselves Israelites and living
according to the Laws of Ben Ammi and the imaginations of his contrary and
devious heart. The wise in the
knowledge of Truth know that Ben Ammi’s camp, built on corruption, crime, lust,
adultery, and death, cannot in any way be connected with the Holy ONE of
“The
anger of the LORD shall not return, until he have executed, and till he have
performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it
perfectly. I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to
them, yet they prophesied. But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused
my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil
way, and from the evil of their doings.” Jeremiah 23:20 – 22
“My
people hath been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray, they
have turned them away on the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill,
they have forgotten their restingplace.” Jeremiah 50:6
Moreover, King
David’s Seed will head the CREATOR GOD’s
I
have never read where Kings David and Solomon called themselves “Messiah.”
“And there shall come forth a rod out of
the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: And the spirit
of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the
spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the
LORD; And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD: and he
shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing
of his ears: But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with
equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of
his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked. And
righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of
his reins.” Isaiah 11:1 –
5
“And in that day there shall be a root of
Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the
Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.” Isaiah 11:10
And this Righteous Kingdom will be all
about serving, worshipping, and PRAISING the GOD of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob
and about representing HIM and spreading HIS Laws, Statutes, and Judgments
throughout this world, in order that the CREATOR GOD of Israel will be Magnified
and will receive all the Praise and all the Glory, so that people will abandon
the “New Testament” and its theology.
Have no doubts about it, the son of David will rule from
I find nothing in
GOD’s WORD to support an existence of HIS Kingdom in
Taking
heed to keep GOD’s LAW would entail staying as far from Ben Ammi as
possible. And the fact that HE
keeps his stores open on GOD’s Holy Day of Complete REST is a darn good red flag
and eye-opener that shouts to stay away from this leader, as of a Truth, he does
not FEAR the GOD of Israel to do HIS Will.
And what better information exists from Our GOD to prove Ben Ammi to be
one who defies the All-Mighty GOD!
“To
the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is
because there is no light in them.” Isaiah 8:20
This
passage is the best gauge Israelites have for determining and for understanding
who to accept as a genuine leader or know who FEARS the Holy ONE of
“Blessed is the man that walketh not in the
counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the
seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law
doth he meditate day and night.”

“And after this did Jehoshaphat king of
Judah join himself with Ahaziah king of Israel, who did very wickedly: And he
joined himself with him to make ships to go to Tarshish: and they made the ships
in Eziongaber. Then Eliezer the son of Dodavah of Mareshah prophesied against
Jehoshaphat, saying, Because thou hast joined thyself with Ahaziah, the LORD
hath broken thy works. And the ships were broken, that they were not able to go
to Tarshish.” II
Chronicles 20:35 – 37
Let’s
not pretend we don’t know about our past and how our stiffnecked and rebellious
forebears loved to be connected with evildoers and how they encouraged the
lawful to follow wickedness. At
least admit to what THUS SAITH THE LORD!
At this late day and in the time of Jacob’s
Trouble, why would we even consider joining with Ben Ammi or with anyone or with
any congregation that does not make GOD’s LAW the Paths of Righteousness to
follow and walk? Our GOD of
Israel promises us that if we return to HIM and HIS LAW, that then we can return
to our heritage (Deuteronomy 30:1-4).
If people will join with Ben Ammi, then for them GOD’s Promise is made
void.
“And ye shall know that I am the LORD: for
ye have not walked in my statutes, neither executed my judgments, but have done
after the manners of the heathen that are round about you.” Ezekiel 11:12
“Why criest thou for thine affliction? thy
sorrow is incurable for the multitude of thine iniquity: because thy sins were
increased, I have done these things unto thee.” Jeremiah 30:15
“And
hast given them this land, which thou didst swear to their fathers to give them,
a land flowing with milk and honey; And
they came in, and possessed it; but they obeyed not thy voice, neither walked in
thy law; they have done nothing of all that thou commandedst them to do:
therefore thou hast caused all this evil to come upon them:” Jeremiah 32:22,23
What
a crime! Ben Ammi was among the
blessed to return, but just like his rebellious forefathers, he, too, refuses to
be obedient to the LAWS of the GOD of Israel.
The
WORD of the GOD of Israel also condemns Ben Ammi for calling himself a
“Messianic Leader” in order to gather Israelites and Christians into his
fold. But in no way does he emulate
the “Old Testament” men of GOD!
Was
Moses, Joshua, Samuel, the kings of
I
listened to a Brother in Paltalk Chat go to extremes to contrive a justifiable
explanation for Ben Ammi calling himself a Messiah. The Truth of the matter is that this
word is not even connected with Hebrew-Israelite Culture. “Jews” and Christians and the Book of
Daniel and the “New Testament” are very much associated with the word “Messiah,”
but not the Israelites who wandered forty years in the Wilderness and inhabited
the
And
even if this information is for a time after the Israelites return, the
information still makes no sense.
“And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week…” (Daniel
9:27). This verse contradicts what
“THUS SAITH THE LORD” about HIS Covenant in Jeremiah 31:31 – 34 and in Ezekiel
20:37. And not one of GOD’s
Prophets makes mention of this event in the Book of Daniel.
Just
for the record, “THUS SAITH THE LORD” is mentioned more than 400 times in the
“Old Testament” but not even once in the Book of Daniel or in the “New
Testament.” That’s no mistake. That’s for us to think logically and
connect the dots! Therefore, when
we do the research concerning the year the Book of Daniel was probably written,
we will see that this Book of Daniel and the “New Testament” were written to
deceive Israelites, and, thus, we have no reason to accept the information in
either of these books as being GOD’s WORD.
GOD’s
Covenants – HIS LAW and HIS Promises, as well as the “New Covenant” spoken of in
Jeremiah 31:31-34 - will resume upon our return to our heritage. And there is no other WORD of GOD to
have us believe that any one of these Covenants will be one week. Actually, when you consider what’s
written in Daniel 9:27, none of this chapter makes any sense whatsoever.
“He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word
which he commanded to a thousand generations. Which covenant he made with
Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac; And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law,
and to
“Nevertheless
he regarded their affliction, when he heard their cry: And he
remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of
his mercies.” Psalm
106:44,45
The
Holy ONE of Israel has not only remembered HIS Covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and
Jacob, but HE has opened our eyes to the fact that WE ARE HIS PEOPLE, but
unfortunately, too many of us do not choose to do that which is necessary to
stay in HIS good graces.
Another
serious issue is that certain people credit Ben Ammi with moving Israelites to
And
just because people think Ben Ammi to be prosperous and have more than other
congregations is no reason to boast about the advancements he has made. When I hear this, I am constantly
reminded of the “
“Fret not thyself because of evildoers,
neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. For they shall soon be
cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. Trust in the LORD, and do
good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.” Psalm 37:1 – 3
“I have seen the wicked in great power, and
spreading himself like a green bay tree. Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was
not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found. Mark the perfect man, and
behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace.” Psalm 37:35 - 37
“They that trust in their wealth, and boast
themselves in the multitude of their riches; None of them can by any means
redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him:” Psalm 49:6,7
“Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.” Psalm 127:1
It would appear that people
don’t yet get the full understanding of the above verse that is loaded with
Truth, conviction, and certainty.
Time proves everything! The
Flood of Noah’s Day and the scattering of the Nation of Israel into the Four
Corners of the Earth are proven facts that the CREATOR GOD of Israel does not
tolerate people taking HIS Name in vain, disobedience of HIS LAW, and the
worship of false gods and even of man.
Ben
Ammi is not “perfect.” He, himself,
said in 1996 that he is doing 60%.
Thus, he isn’t even close to being “the perfect man.” He is failing and falling fast! His works and teachings speak
volumes. We have history to probe
for what “THUS SAITH THE LORD” and for what required of us. AND we have read what has happened to
Israelites who stray from GOD’s LAW in order to establish their own
direction. We have book after book
in the “Old Testament” that gives us all the information we need concerning
rebellious Israelites. We know what
the GOD of Israel did to them, and we know that HE has not changed HIS
Ordinances one iota, and that HE will NEVER change them. Hence, knowing all this, and knowing
what the GOD of Moses has said about HIS LAW and the consequences for not
keeping it (in Deuteronomy 28th Chapter), knowing that HE will
MAGNIFY HIS LAW and put it in our hearts, knowing that we were scattered for not
observing this Divine LAW, would Our GOD of Israel send such a leader as Ben
Ammi who has no regard for HIS LAW but rather for magnifying himself and a bogus
“KOY”? Perfect men of GOD do not
grandstand and promote adverse teachings.
They vehemently stress doing the WORD of the GOD of Israel and with “ONE”
mindset.
Without question, “the perfect man” FEARS the GOD of
Israel to live and do HIS Book of the Law.
It is accepting GOD’s Righteousness and to live by it that is our ticket
into the CREATOR GOD of Israel’s
“Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this
people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not hearkened unto
my words, nor to my law, but rejected it.”
Jeremiah 6:19
“Because Ephraim hath made many altars to sin, altars
shall be unto him to sin.”
Hosea 8:11
What
wills Israelites to turn from the WORD of GOD? What force is there that can make GOD’s
Chosen People defy HIM? Never
mind. I don’t think I want to
know. In any case, those who join
with Ben Ammi should know that you give up your assets and you are expected to
conform to the expectations of the Camp, and you will adhere to WILL adhere to
their ways or be punished by beatings and losing your flamboyant “title.” What a scam, the best since the advent
of Christianity. However, only the
Holy ONE will prove them a fraud and with the Righteous Remnant HE is calling –
HIS Chosen Ones who have determined to serve and worship ONLY HIM.
“And it shall
come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be
delivered: for in mount
“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

face. Like as I pleaded with your fathers in the wilderness of the
Ironically,
from this passage, Ben Ammi will not enter into the very Kingdom he boasts.
“And he spake unto the congregation,
saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch
nothing of their's, lest ye be consumed in all their sins.” Numbers 16:26
“I have hated the congregation of evil
doers; and will not sit with the wicked.” Psalm 26:5
Surely,
we know about Israelites who speak of the Holy ONE of
“Deliver me from the workers of iniquity,
and save me from bloody men.”
Isaiah 59:2
Some
of us might think it is all right to join with congregations that defy GOD’s
LAW, but this is wholly against doing what Thus Saith the LORD. The Holy ONE of
People
have come forward with information on Ben Ammi, and the Brother promoting the
so-called “Keys to the Kingdom” is aware of this. I have also posted information on Ben
Ammi and his camp to the LawKeepers Forum.
And if people will still join with him, after learning about this useless
kingdom, then they certainly have no one but themselves to blame for whatever
might befall them. More
importantly, those who will read this Message and will still seek to join and be
associated with the Ben Ammi Camp can’t say they didn’t know and certainly won’t
be able to plead ignorance. They
can’t say their leaders are at fault.
They can’t say they believed in a Brother whom they thought knew what he
was talking about with some “Keys to the Kingdom.” And the reason they cannot feign all
these excuses is because all GOD’s warnings and counsel are written in HIS LAW
and in HIS WORD to HIS Prophets. “TAKE DILIGENT HEED…” Also, HE provides
knowledge to those who earnestly seek it.
The Holy ONE of
“Put not your trust in princes, nor in the
son of man, in whom there is no help. His breath goeth forth, he returneth to
his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish. Happy is he that hath the God

earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever:” Psalm 146:3 - 6
“Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not
confidence in a guide: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy
bosom.” Micah 7:5
I
feel like this: If I am going to
fall by the wayside, it will not be because of following some stiffnecked,
grandstanding, rebellious Israelite leaders. In that respect, I have learned what
not to do very well and mainly from watching lawless Israelites in Ben
Ammi’s Camp and listening to him speak the imaginations of his heart.
The
Dry Bones have a chance to live and serve and worship the Holy ONE of
With
Ben Ammi there is an arm of flesh; but with us is the LORD Our GOD to help us if

trusted in his holy name.”

together, going and weeping: they shall go, and seek the LORD their

“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

WAKE
UP,
“But
know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will
hear when I call unto him. Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own
heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah. Offer the sacrifices of righteousness,
and put your trust in the LORD.”
Psalm 4:3 - 5
So, be aware, and TAKE DILIGENT HEED. This is
our last shot to be returned to our heritage.
“The soul that sinneth, it shall die.
The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear
the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him,
and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him. But if the wicked will turn
from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that
which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die. All his
transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him: in
his righteousness that he hath done he shall live. Have I any pleasure at all
that the wicked should die? saith the Lord GOD: and not that he should return
from his ways, and live? But when the
righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and
doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he
live? All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned: in his
trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them
shall he die.” Ezekiel
18:20 - 24
Thus,
it is most critical that GOD FEARING Israelites discern right from wrong and
denounce defiance and disobedience to GOD’s LAW.
“But the mercy of the LORD is from
everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto
children's children; To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember
his commandments to do them.”
Psalm 103:17,18
And at the same time we must embrace wisdom
and knowledge and abide by it.
Don’t waste precious time on a NOTORIOUS leader who has no respect for
the “SIGN” of GOD’s Holy Seventh Day Sabbath of REST that binds us with Our GOD

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

“The
young lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat from God.” Psalm 104:21
Why
can’t we just seek Our GOD of Israel and be obedient to what HE requires of
us? After all, HIS Book of the Law
and HIS WORD to HIS Prophets are our Bread of Life.
“Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer, and he
that formed thee from the womb, I am the LORD that maketh all things; that
stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself;
That frustrateth the tokens of the liars, and maketh diviners mad; that turneth
wise men backward, and maketh their knowledge foolish;” Isaiah 44:24,25
King
David Feared and loved the GOD of Israel with all his heart and soul, and we
have him as evidence that we, also, can indeed be people after GOD’s own
heart. Notice his Psalm 101:
“I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto
thee, O LORD, will I sing. I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when
wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart. I will
set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside;
it shall not cleave to me. A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know
a wicked person. Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him
that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer. Mine eyes shall be
upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a
perfect way, he shall serve me. He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my
house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight. I will early destroy
all the wicked of the land; that I may cut off all wicked doers from the city of
the LORD.”
I
question the motives of those who promote Ben Ammi’s so-called “KOY” and
disseminate information leading people to believe that he is a Messiah. Ben Ammi’s works judge him to be nothing
more than a Lawbreaker who is steadfastly working against the WORD of the GOD of
Israel, and who is relentlessly expounding on his books, his diets, his
authority, his being a Messiah, and his “Kingdom of Ben Ammi.”
Wake
up,
“I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being. My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the LORD. Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless thou the LORD, O my soul. Praise ye the LORD.”

REFLECTING ON GOD’S WORD IN
REGARD TO
HIS
SEVENTH DAY SABBATH COMMANDMENT!
REMEMBER, THIS IS HIS
ANNIVERSARY DAY OF REST,
AND OUR DAY
TO KEEP IN REST AND AS A SIGN BETWEEN
HIM AND THE CHILDREN OF
“Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host
of them.
And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made;
and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had
made.
And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it:
because that in it he had rested from all his work which God
created and made.”
Genesis 2:1 – 3
“…the LORD hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth
you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man
in his place,
let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.”
Exodus 16:29
“…this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will
be your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all the ways
that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you.
But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in
the counsels
and in the imagination of their evil heart, and went
backward, and not forward.”
Jeremiah 7:23,24
“And say thou unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of
Cursed be the man that obeyeth not the words of this
covenant,
Which I commanded your fathers in the day that I brought
them forth
out of the
and do them, according to all which I command you: so shall ye
be my people, and I will be your God:”
Jeremiah 11:3,4
As
most of you know, I am a firm believer in living GOD’s Book of the Law, and that
I strongly stress observance of GOD’s Holy Seventh Day Sabbath that HE
proclaimed a “SIGN” between HIM and HIS Chosen People, Israel. To strengthen the great significance of
GOD’s Hallowed Seventh Day, HE used this Day of REST to prove HIS People, the
Israelites, to see if they would walk in HIS LAW, or no (Exodus 16:4).
It
didn’t take GOD long to find out that HIS Chosen People HE had JUST DELIVERED
out of Egyptian bondage by HIS Mighty Hand before their very eyes, did not FEAR
HIM to be OBEDIENT to HIS COMMANDMENT of the Holy Seventh Day of Rest. The Holy ONE of
“And
it came to pass, that there went out some of the people on the
seventh day for to gather, and they found none. And the LORD said unto Moses,
How long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws?” Exodus 16:27,28
The
Israelites had failed their test!
It is obvious that the Holy ONE DID NOT want the Israelites leaving their
places on HIS Holy Seventh Day of COMPLETE REST (Shabbatone in Hebrew). And for some of us, if this is not
understood, then Exodus 16:29 makes GOD’s COMMANDMENT perfectly clear without a
shadow of a doubt.
“…the
LORD hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the
bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his
place on the seventh day.”
The
questions now become, Is the Holy ONE of
“Her
priests have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy things: they have put
no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they shewed
difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes
from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.” Ezekiel 22:26
Perhaps at this point, I should make readers aware of
the basis for this particular post.
Before
the recent “KenesiYAH Conference” in
Because
the Conference called for activities on GOD’s Holy Sabbath Day of Complete REST,
I knew that most of the attendees, if not all, would be leaving their places
(homes and hotel rooms) on the Seventh Day, November 13, to take part in
whatever was being offered on GOD’s Holy Day. In my heart, I was immediately critical
of this Conference for going against GOD’s COMMANDMENT to abide in our places on
the Seventh Day of Rest. Also,
knowing fully well that the GOD of Israel is against bearing burdens on HIS Holy
Sabbath Day, I thought to challenge the promoter for circulating that “This
Conference Stars YHWH King Of the Universe” - words that were clearly construed
to draw a crowd but displeased YIHOVAH.
And I wasn’t at all in agreement with charging a fee to attend the
Conference, either.
However,
I, for some reason, changed my mind about contacting the promoter. And in the interim, I learned that
the Conference was a success and people had really gotten something out of this
gathering. Then I thought to myself
how wonderful it is for Israelites to Glory and PRAISE the Holy ONE and rejoice
in revering ONLY HIM. I also
thought that the GOD of Israel might have been truly pleased with the Conference
and that perhaps HE had changed the WAY HE wants us to observe HIS Holy Seventh
Day of REST. I told myself that
perhaps we CAN indeed gather and teach on this Hallowed Day. Although I had these thoughts, I didn’t
seek the Holy ONE for clarification on the matter. And I left it at that
without considering putting this notion of gathering on the Sabbath to the test
and without further thoughts about the issue until this past Friday, November
19, just a few days after the Conference ended when the Holy ONE of Israel gave
me clarification on the matter.
On
this Friday, while going about my daily readings, the Holy ONE showed me that we
must keep HIS LAW, as it is written or face the consequences. And no matter how zealous and
passionate we are about our concerns to worship Our GOD of Israel, and no
matter how jubilant and how much Praise and admiration we bestow upon HIM in a
Conference, in a parade, or in the privacy of our homes, we have got to remain
bound and TRUE to HIS LAWS – ALL OF THEM - to remember to do and observe them,
as HE has COMMANDED, for this Divine LAW IS OUR LIFE and is to be kept (as it is
written) FOREVER!
“And
he said unto them, Set your hearts unto all the words which I testify among you
this day, which ye shall command your children to observe to do, all the words
of this law. For it is not a vain thing for you; because it is
your life: and through this thing ye shall prolong your days in the land,
whither ye go over
“Therefore
thou shalt love the LORD thy God, and keep his charge, and his statutes, and his
judgments, and his commandments, alway.” Deuteronomy 11:1
“These
are the statutes and judgments, which ye shall observe to do in the land,
which the LORD God of thy fathers giveth thee to possess it, all the days that
ye live upon the earth.”
Deuteronomy 12:1

The
passage the Holy ONE showed me in Scripture that caused me to recall the
November 12 – 13 KenesiYAH Conference and the activities held on GOD’s Holy
Seventh Day of Rest entailed the relocation of GOD’s Ark. I did not search for this passage. This passage was brought to me…ALL
PRAISES DUE TO THE HOLY ONE!
“And
David and all
Without
a doubt, King David and ALL
I
remember many years ago reading this passage for the very first time thinking
about how wonderful it was for Israel to Praise GOD and how pleased HE must have
been seeing HIS People Exalting HIM with such joyfulness and fervor. But at that time, as I continued reading
the chapter, something happened in the passage that I’m sure has caused
Israelites and the Stranger alike to wonder why this GOD of Israel would so
severely punish a man, during this moment of exultation and joy of HIM, for
putting forth his hand to steady HIS Ark. I read on with great sorrow for Uzza,
seeking a valid reason for his death.
“And
when they came unto the threshingfloor of Chidon, Uzza put forth his hand to
hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled. And the anger of the LORD was kindled
against Uzza, and he smote him, because he put his hand to the ark: and there he
died before God.” I
Chronicles 13:9,10
The
valid reason was and still is KEEP GOD’s LAWS for HE will not forgo
punishment if we don’t. For me,
this passage was a tremendous wakeup call that made me realize that no matter
what…we, Israelites, must take heed to obey all GOD’s COMMANDMENTS, as
they are written. And when in
doubt, rather than assume the wrong decision, err on the side of caution, i.e.,
err on the side of what's written. Then we can always say, "We
followed the Commandment that is written in GOD's Book of the
Law!
The
Conference of November 12 – 14, I’m sure was well organized with the Holy ONE in
mind to draw as many people as possible and to make as much money as
possible. But given GOD’s
LAW of the Holy Sabbath Day to “abide ye every man in his place, let no man go
out of his place on the Seventh Day,” has GOD given HIS consent and endorsed
leaving our places, driving cars, teaching, and holding a Sabbath Service on
this Seventh Day of Complete REST?
Now, since reading the passage about Uzza, I know for sure, the Holy
ONE of
“Did
not your fathers thus, and did not our God bring all this evil upon us, and upon
this city? yet ye bring more wrath upon
Nehemiah
13:18
If
we are specifically advised to keep GOD’s Sabbath or be punished with death,
that our servants, oxen, asses, and cattle are also supposed to rest, as well,
and COMMANDED NOT to bear burdens on the Holy Seventh Day of Rest, then we have
no business scheduling activities on this Holy Shabbatone (Sabbath of Complete
REST Day). If the Holy ONE
wanted us assembling on HIS Holy Seventh Day of Rest, then HE would not have
COMMANDED us to abide in our places on this Day of REST!!! Surely that makes a lot of sense,
right?
“But
the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou
shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor
thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy
gates: For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all
that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed
the sabbath day, and hallowed it.”
Exodus 20:10,11
“Speak
thou also unto the children of
“Six
days thou shalt labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the
sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor
thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thine
ox, nor thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within
thy gates; that thy manservant and thy maidservant may rest as well as
thou.” Deuteronomy
5:13,14
“And
it came to pass, that when the gates of
Nehemiah
13:19
“Thus
saith the LORD; Take heed to yourselves, and bear no burden on the sabbath day,
nor bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem; Neither carry forth a burden
out of your houses on the sabbath day, neither do ye any work, but hallow ye the
sabbath day, as I commanded your fathers. But they obeyed not,
neither inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear,
nor receive instruction. And it shall come to pass, if ye diligently
hearken unto me, saith the LORD, to bring in no burden through the gates of this
city on the sabbath day, but hallow the sabbath day, to do no work therein;
Then shall there enter into the gates of this city kings and princes sitting
upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they, and their
princes, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and this city shall
remain for ever.” Jeremiah
17:21 – 25
“But
if ye will not hearken unto me to hallow the sabbath day, and not to bear a
burden, even entering in at the gates of Jerusalem on the sabbath day; then will
I kindle a fire in the gates thereof, and it shall devour the palaces of
Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched.” Jeremiah 17:27
Although
there is nothing written above about picking up sticks on the Holy Sabbath Day
of REST, GOD condemned a man to death for this act (Numbers 15:32-35). Doesn’t this sentence of death expound
upon the great importance of observing this Holy Day, as it is written and not
according to what we feel is acceptable?
Of course it does! GOD is
as serious as a heart attack about our KEEPING HIS Holy Seventh Day of COMPLETE
REST and about JUDGING us if we profane it. Other than picking up sticks on
GOD’s Holy Seventh Day of REST, what else might we do to cause Our GOD of Israel
to be angry and “smite” or condemn us to death as HE did with Uzza and the man
who was found picking up sticks on HIS Holy Seventh Day Sabbath? What about CARRYING all the books,
charts, video equipment, teaching aids, and other paraphernalia we need for
instruction and for the operation of the Conference? Who are we fooling? All of us are aware of what it entails
to organize and hold a Conference.
It takes a lot of WORK, as well as a lot of energy to sustain each day’s
agenda, and I am only making reference to the activities that are scheduled on
GOD’s Holy Seventh Day Sabbath.
What
about the hot meals served at the hotels or at the meeting place on the Holy
Seventh Day when we are COMMANDED to prepare on the Sixth Day the food to be
eaten on the Seventh Day of REST?
What about burdening someone to bear even sandwiches and beverages to
drink if food is served at the meeting place? What about getting from the hotel to the
meeting place? What about driving
or being driven to the meeting place?
Think about all the work that transpires on a three-day Conference that
includes GOD’s Holy Day of COMPLETE REST.
And
when we involve ourselves in all these transactions, we say, “This Conference
Stars YHWH King Of The Universe.”
I don’t think so! As a
matter of fact, I know what “Thus Saith the LORD,” and I know better! According to HIS WORD, HE is not
pleased and no more pleased with us than HE was with Uzza, King David, and the
others. I also know that Our GOD is
not pleased with our charging a fee to hear HIS WORD.
“The
heads thereof judge for reward, and the priests thereof teach for hire, and the
prophets thereof divine for money: yet will they lean upon the LORD, and say,
Is not the LORD among us? none evil can come upon us.” Micah 3:11
I
see nothing wrong with Israelites devising ways to raise money, but given the
above verse, we should keep GOD’s Ways out of such plans, i.e., don’t make money
off of the WORD of GOD. By all
means, create jobs, have dances, parties, sell dinners, plan spring, summer, and
winter attractions, and keep them above suspicion, but don’t include a fee if at
all GOD’s WORD is involved. Let us
be about following GOD’s Counsel and not that of our own. And I can’t stress enough that it does
not entail charging and paying money to hear HIS Truth. When our hearts are right, Our GOD
prospers our way. When our hearts
are NOT right, there is no peace to the wicked.
When
GOD did not pardon what Uzza did while King David and the Israelites were
rejoicing before the Holy ONE giving HIM Praise and Glory, then what
imaginations of our hearts think we can be pardoned for breaking GOD’s Law of
the Seventh Day when HE distinctly COMMANDED us to “ABIDE YE EVERY MAN IN HIS
PLACE, LET NO MAN GO OUT OF HIS PLACE ON THE SEVENTH DAY”? Is this not a COMMANDMENT? If you agree that it is, then how can we
justify leaving our places on this Holy Seventh Day of REST to participate in
any kind of service - Conference, Unity Shabbot or other function? We have more than enough time to
schedule get-togethers and have spiritual assemblies. None of these gatherings should be
scheduled for the Holy Seventh Day of COMPLETE REST. And regardless of what different
Messianic leaders or Prophets or Levites might say to justify it, there is NO
Scripture to support such meetings on GOD’s Holy Seventh Day. The Children of Israel did not gather or
assemble on the Seventh Day in the Wilderness, and they are dead wrong to do so
now! The GOD of
“Thus
the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on the
seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh
day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and
sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God
created and made.”
Genesis 2:1 – 3
“Thou
camest down also upon mount Sinai, and spakest with them from heaven, and gavest
them right judgments, and true laws, good statutes and commandments: And madest
known unto them thy holy sabbath, and commandedst them precepts, statutes, and
laws, by the hand of Moses thy servant:” Nehemiah 9:13,14
GOD’s
Holy Seventh Day is an anniversary in remembrance of the Six Days it took HIM to
CREATE the Heavens and the Earth and all things therein. Therefore, regardless of how much we
invest in this day being of spiritual significance in Conferences or other
affairs to show forth HIS Praise, we are so wrong to do so. And it’s simply because Our GOD wants
us in our places on HIS Holy Seventh Day Sabbath. By the way, if the Conference is on a
weekend, there is nothing wrong with staying in our hotel rooms when the Sabbath
begins and until it’s over.
After
GOD COMMANDED us to abide in our places on HIS Holy Seventh Day, as we know, a
man thought it was all right to gather sticks. Today many Israelites feel it’s quite
all right to drive cars and use other means of transportation to ASSEMBLE and
give Praise and Thanksgiving to Our GOD on HIS Holy Seventh Day, but when we do,
we are ever so wrong. Actually, we
are dead wrong!
GOD’s
LAWS, COMMANDMENTS, and HIS WORD to HIS Prophets speak volumes, and unless GOD
stipulated changes, there are no exceptions to HIS Ordinances. Throughout the “Old Testament,” we
find that GOD sent HIS Prophets and instructed them to rise up early to go to
the Israelites to urge them to return back to the LAW that HE gave to HIS
Prophet Moses. I only reiterate
that which has already been COMMANDED of us. And we can either accept GOD’s LAWS
or contrive justification to circumvent them. If we are in agreement to accept GOD’s
LAWS, then we cannot dismiss the LAW to abide in our places on GOD’s Holy
Seventh Day of REST. It’s just that
simple. Throughout GOD’s WORD, we
learn that we must follow GOD’s LAW or face repercussions.
“But
the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that
thou mayest do it. See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death
and evil; In that I command thee this day to love the LORD thy God, to walk in
his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that
thou mayest live and multiply: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in the land
whither thou goest to possess it.” Deuteronomy 30:14 - 16
“Yet
they obeyed not, nor inclined their ear, but walked every one in the imagination
of their evil heart: therefore I will bring upon them all the words of this
covenant, which I commanded them to do; but they did them
not.” Jeremiah 11:8
Let
us not forget that OBEDIENCE to GOD’s LAW should be our highest priority IF it
is our intention to return back to our heritage (Deuteronomy 30:1-3 and I Samuel
15:19).
“Ye
have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles'
wings, and brought you unto myself.
Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant,
then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth
is mine: And ye shall be
unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words
which thou shalt speak unto the children of
“But
if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find him, if
thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul. When thou art in
tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, even in the latter
days, if thou turn to the LORD thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice;
(For the LORD thy God is a merciful God;) he will not forsake thee,
neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto
them.” Deuteronomy 4:29 –
31
“And
Moses and the priests the Levites spake unto all
“If
thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this
book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name, THE LORD THY GOD;
Then the LORD will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed,
even great plagues, and of long continuance, and sore sicknesses, and of
long continuance. Moreover he will bring upon thee all the diseases of
“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
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

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

altogether.
More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much
fine gold:
sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.

Our
Righteous GOD gave us HIS Holy Book of the Law – not the “New Testament”

deceptive religion.

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

P.S.
I
live to Exalt the Most High GOD of Israel and HIS Righteous Book of the Law and
all because returning to HIM and serving and worshipping HIM (when our
forefathers wouldn’t) will cause Our GOD and SAVIOR to return back to us, HIS
Chosen People. Therefore, the more
Israelites involved in this great Mission to return to the Holy ONE and HIS Law,
the sooner the GOD’s TRUTH will be disseminated around the world and the sooner
the True and Living GOD will be revealed, magnified, and PRAISED by all (Isaiah
43:21). And LORD knows this “man”
jc, or whatever people choose to call him, will have nothing to do with bringing
about this disclosure or the Redemption and Deliverance from all the perils upon
the SEED of the Children of
It
should be realized that GOD did not let Samuel’s words fall to the ground, i.e.,
everything Samuel said came to pass (I Samuel 3:19). But this was not the case with the “man”
jc, and yet he was/is worshipped and magnified as if he were the GOD of this
Universe. And indeed many
people think that he is. But if he
is a god or if he is “the son of God,” then certainly he should have known that
GOD’s Kingdom was NOT at hand (Matthew 10:5 - 7) – a blunder from which he will
never recover!
And
since jc could not make this significant call that would have proven his
identity and godliness, the wise should know that he is as much a lying prophet
as was Hananiah who disputed Jeremiah’s prophecy that the Tribe of Judah would
be in Babylonian captivity for seventy years. His claim was that they would be
captives for only two years rather than seventy. Consequently, Hananiah paid with his
life for making the Judahites “trust in a lie” (Jeremiah 28th Chapter).
As
well, we should give more thought to the fact that “there arose not a prophet
since in
And finally, GOD said, “The beast of the field
shall honor me, the dragons and the owls:
because I give waters in the wilderness and rivers in the desert to
give drink to my people, my chosen” (Isaiah 43:20). There’s much to be gleaned from this
passage! But suffice it to say
that the beasts of the field know well the identity of the CREATOR, and they
know even better that this All-Mighty GOD is the ONLY ONE that deserves ALL THE
GLORY. Unfortunately, these
days, when there is a drought, severe storm, flooding, waters in the desert or
forest (lightning) fires, crippling dust storms and famine, people, not the
beasts of the field, but PEOPLE will credit “Mother Nature” for these weather
patterns and not make the slightest connection to the Most High GOD.
“That
they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none
beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else. I form the light, and create darkness: I
make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.” Isaiah 45:6,7
However,
for sure great afflictions will cause many people and Nations to turn to the GOD
with the OMNIPOTENCE to SAVE and DELIVER out of harms way, and this will be the
GOD they will serve and worship (Hosea 5:15). I don’t think it’s necessary to reveal
that this GOD will be the same GOD that SAVED the Children of Israel out of
Egyptian bondage!
“Let
the field be joyful, and all that is therein: then shall all the trees of the
wood rejoice Before the LORD: for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth:
he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his
truth.”
Psalm
96:12,13
“What
ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven
back? Ye mountains, that ye skipped
like rams; and ye little hills, like lambs? Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of
the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;” Psalm 114:5 – 7
The WISE will understand!
FEAR
AND GLORY YIHOVAH ALWAYS!
P.P.S.
LORD,
You were our help during Biblical days, and you did not pass the buck. You were a Voice and a genuine Worker
for us, and from the fruits of your labors our trifling forefathers were indeed
saved and redeemed many times from the hands of their enemies, albeit in vain
to perpetuate many sins against you. But things have changed somewhat,
and many of us have returned to you.
Therefore, once again, LORD GOD of Israel, save those of us who believe
and trust in ONLY YOU to do your Will, but this time save us from the four
corners of this Earth for your Holy Name’s Sake.
“When
thy people Israel be smitten down before the enemy, because they have sinned
against thee, and shall turn again to thee, and confess thy name, and pray, and
make supplication unto thee in this house:
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.” I Kings 8:33,34
“Therefore,
behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that it shall no more be said, The LORD
liveth, that brought up the children of

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
Brother Kweli made a strong point regarding
this most important matter, for if we cannot recognize when to begin our 24-hour
day, 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).
Another one is in Nehemiah 13th
Chapter. Nehemiah is angered by
people profaning the Holy Seventh Day by selling their wares to the stiffnecked
Israelites who did not hesitate to buy them. So, “when the gates of
I would be remiss if I did not also include
the fact that Scripture is clear on Passover and the Day of Atonement beginning
in the evening at sundown.
PASSOVER: “In the first month, on the fourteenth
day of the month at even, ye
shall eat unleavened bread, until the
one and twentieth day of the month at even.” Exodus 12:18
THE DAY OF ATONEMENT: “It shall be unto you a sabbath of
rest, and ye shall afflict your souls: in the ninth day of the month at
even, from even unto even, shall
ye celebrate your sabbath.”
Leviticus23:32
The GOD of Israel is and always has been
consistent in teaching us HIS Commandments. HE would not tell us to begin some Holy
Days at sundown and to begin others in the morning. There is nothing intelligent about such
a directive – only confusion. T.Y.,

concern over giving the UN more power; those unaware of the issues involved; and
those wishing more background, I offer the following.
Originally presented for an Honors Class,
"Dilemmas of War and Peace," at
Citing source data is the "scientific method," but
does not seem to apply to "Conspiracy Theories." A thousand sources may be
quoted, yet will not convince the "skeptics," the "realists." It seems to me the
"symptoms of mental illness" are on their side, if they refuse to look at
evidence ("There are none so blind as those who WILL not see"); or perhaps
something more sinister is at work, such as a knowledge of the truth, that does
not want YOU to know.
To be paranoid means to believe in delusions of
danger and persecution. If the danger is real, and the evidence credible, then
it cannot be delusional. To ignore the evidence, and hope that it CANNOT be
true, is more an evidence of mental illness.
The issue involves much more than a difference of
philosophy, or political viewpoint. Growing up in the midst of the "Cold War,"
our generation were taught that those who attempted to abolish our national
sovereignty and overthrow our Constitutional government were committing acts of
treason. Please judge for yourself if the group discussed is guilty of such.
If one group is effectively in control of national
governments and multinational corporations; promotes world government through
control of media, foundation grants, and education; and controls and guides the
issues of the day; then they control most options available. The Council on
Foreign Relations (CFR), and the financial powers behind it, have done all these
things, and promote the "
The CFR is the promotional arm of the Ruling Elite in
the
To understand how the most influential people in
America came to be members of an organization working purposefully for the
overthrow of the Constitution and American sovereignty, we have to go back at
least to the early 1900's, though the story begins much earlier (depending
on your viewpoint and beliefs).
That a ruling power elite does indeed control the
Baron M.A. Rothschild wrote, "Give me control over
a nation's currency and I care not who makes its laws."
All that is needed to effectively control a
government is to have control over the nation's money: a central bank with a monopoly over the supply of
money and credit. This had been done in
Georgetown professor Dr. Carroll Quigley (Bill
Clinton's mentor while at Georgetown) wrote about the goals of the investment
bankers who control central banks: "... nothing less than to create a
world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the
political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole...
controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in
concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent private meetings and
conferences."
The Bank of the
Thomas Jefferson wrote: "The Central Bank is an institution of the most deadly
hostility existing against the principles and form of our Constitution...if the
American people allow private banks to control the issuance of their currency,
first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will
grow up around them will deprive the people of all their property until their
children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered."
Does that not describe the situation in
The
Though unconstitutional, as only "The Congress shall
have Power...To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof..." (Article I, Section
8, U.S. Constitution) the Federal Reserve Act was passed in December 1913;
ostensibly to stabilize the economy and prevent further panics, but as Lindberg
warned Congress: "This act establishes the most gigantic trust on earth...the
invisible government by the money power, proven to exist by the Money Trust
investigation, will be legalized." The Great Depression and numerous
recessions later, it is obvious the Federal Reserve produces inflation and
federal debt whenever it desires, but not stability.
Congressman Louis McFadden, House Committee on
Banking and Currency Chairman (1920-31), stated: "When the Federal Reserve
Act was passed, the people of these
Although called "Federal," the Federal Reserve system
is privately owned by member banks, makes its own policies, and is not subject
to oversight by Congress or the President. As the overseer and supplier of
reserves, the Fed gave banks access to public funds, which enhanced their
lending capacity.
Peter Kershaw, in "Economic
Solutions" lists the
ten major shareholders of the Federal Reserve Bank System as: Rothschild:
London and Berlin; Lazard Bros: Paris; Israel Seiff: Italy; Kuhn- Loeb Company:
Germany; Warburg: Hamburg and Amsterdam; Lehman Bros:
According to Devvy Kidd, "Why A Bankrupt
As Lindberg put it: "The new law will create
inflation whenever the trusts want inflation...they can unload the stocks on the
people at high prices during the excitement and then bring on a panic and buy
them back at low prices...the day of reckoning is only a few years removed."
That day came in 1929, with the Stock Market crash and Great Depression.
One of the most important powers given to the Fed was
the right to buy and sell government securities, and provide loans to member
banks so they might also purchase them. This provided another built-in mechanism
for profit to the banks, if government debt was increased. All that was
needed was a method to pay off the debt. This was accomplished through the
passage of the income tax in 1913.
A national income tax was declared unconstitutional
in 1895 by the Supreme Court, so a constitutional amendment was proposed in
Congress by none other than ...Senator Nelson Aldrich. As presented to the
American people it seemed reasonable enough: income tax on only one percent of
income under $20,000, with the assurance that it would never increase.
Since it was graduated, the tax would "soak the
rich", ...but the rich had other plans, already devising a method of protecting
wealth. As described by Gary Allen
in his 1976 book "The Rockefeller File," "By the time the (16th) Amendment had
been approved by the states, the Rockefeller Foundation was in full
operation...about the same time that Judge Kenesaw Landis was ordering the
breakup of the Standard Oil monopoly...John D...not only avoided taxes by
creating four great tax-exempt foundations; he used them as repositories for his
'divested' interests...made his assets non-taxable so that they might be passed
down through generations without...estate and gift taxes...Each year the
Rockefellers can dump up to half their incomes into their pet foundations and
deduct the "donations" from their income tax."
Exchanging ownership for control of wealth,
foundations are also a handy means for promoting interests that benefit the
wealthy. Millions of foundation
dollars have been "donated" to causes such as promoting the use of drugs, while
degrading preventive medicine. Since many drugs are made from coal tar
derivatives, both oil companies and drug manufacturing concerns (many
Rockefeller owned or controlled) are the main beneficiaries.
With the means to loan enormous sums to the
government (the Federal Reserve), a method to repay the debt (income tax), and
an escape from taxation for the wealthy, (foundations), all that remained was an
excuse to borrow money. By some happy "coincidence," in 1914 World War I began,
and after American participation national debt rose from $1 billion to $25
billion.
Woodrow Wilson was elected President in 1913, beating
incumbent William Howard Taft, who had vowed to veto legislation establishing a
central bank. To divide the Republican vote and elect the relatively unknown
Wilson, J.P. Morgan and Co. poured money into the candidacy of Teddy Roosevelt
and his Progressive Party.

huge profits for those who had backed
While profit was certainly a motive, the war was also
useful to justify the notion of world government. William Hoar reveals in

time promoter of globalism, found that several years before the outbreak of

Institute of International Affairs,

The Council on Foreign Relations was incorporated as

The founding president of the CFR was John W. Davis,
J.P. Morgan's personal attorney, while the vice-president was Paul Cravath, also
representing the Morgan interests. Professor Carroll Quigley characterized the
CFR as "...a front group for J.P. Morgan and Company in association with the
very small American Round Table Group." Over time Morgan influence was lost
to the Rockefellers, who found that one world government fit their philosophy of
business well. As John D. Rockefeller, Sr. had said: "Competition is a sin," and
global monopoly fit their needs as they grew internationally.
Antony Sutton, a research fellow for the Hoover
Institution for War, Revolution, and Peace at Stanford University, wrote of this
philosophy: "While monopoly control of industries was once the objective of
J.P. Morgan and J.D. Rockefeller, by the late nineteenth century the inner
sanctums of Wall Street understood the most efficient way to gain an
unchallenged monopoly was to 'go political' and make society go to work for the
monopolists-- under the name of the public good and the public interest."
Frederick C. Howe revealed the strategy of using
government in a 1906 book, "Confessions of a Monopolist": "These are the
rules of big business...Get a monopoly; let society work for you; and remember
that the best of all business is politics..."
As corporations went international, national
monopolies could no longer protect their interests. What was needed was a one world system of government
controlled from behind the scenes. This had been the plan since
the time of Colonel House, and to implement it, it was necessary to weaken the
During the 1920's,
With their fortunes intact, they were able to buy
companies for a fraction of their worth. Shares that had sold for a dollar might
now cost a nickel, and the buying power, and wealth, of the rich increased
enormously.
Louis McFadden, Chairman of the House Banking
Committee declared: "It was not accidental. It was a carefully contrived
occurrence...The international bankers sought to bring about a condition of
despair here so that they might emerge as rulers of us all."
Curtis Dall, son-in-law of FDR and a syndicate
manager for Lehman Brothers, an investment firm, was on the N.Y. Stock Exchange
floor the day of the crash. In "FDR: My Exploited Father-In-Law," he states:
"...it was the calculated 'shearing' of the public by the World-Money powers
triggered by the planned sudden shortage of call money in the New York Market."
The Crash paved the way for the man Wall Street had
groomed for the presidency, FDR.
Portrayed as a "man of the little people", the reality was that Roosevelt's
family had been involved in
Frederic Delano, FDR's uncle, served on the original
Federal Reserve Board. FDR attended Groton and Harvard, and in the 1920's
worked on Wall Street, sitting on the board of directors of eleven different
corporations.
Dall wrote of his father-in-law: "...Most of his
thoughts, his political 'ammunition,'...were carefully manufactured for him in
advance by the CFR-One World Money group. Brilliantly... he exploded that
prepared 'ammunition' in the middle of an unsuspecting target, the American
people--and thus paid off and retained his internationalist political support."

During the FDR years, the Council on Foreign
Relations captured the political life of the
Since 1934 almost every United States Secretary of
State has been a CFR member; and ALL Secretaries of War or Defense, from Henry
L. Stimson through Richard Cheney.
The CIA has been under CFR control almost
continuously since its creation, starting with Allen Dulles, founding member of
the CFR and brother of Secretary of State under President Eisenhower, John
Foster Dulles. Allen Dulles had been at the Paris Peace Conference, joined the
CFR in 1926, and later became its president.
John Foster Dulles had been one of Woodrow Wilson's
young proteges at the Paris Peace Conference. A founding member of the
CFR...he was an in-law of the Rockefellers, Chairman of the Board of the
Rockefeller Foundation, and Board Chairman of the Carnegie Endowment for
International Peace.
In 1940 FDR defeated internationalist Wendell
Willkie, who wrote a book entitled "One World," and later became a CFR member.
Congressman Usher Burdick protested at the time on the floor of the House that
Willkie was being financed by J.P. Morgan and the
Since that time nearly ALL presidential candidates
have been CFR members. President Truman, who was not a member, was advised by a
group of "wise men," all six of whom were CFR members, according to Gary Allen.
In 1952 and 1956, CFR Adlai Stevenson challenged CFR Eisenhower.
In 1960, CFR Kennedy (who was probably killed because
he had the courage NOT to go along with all their plans) CFR Nixon. In 1964 the
GOP stunned the Establishment by nominating its candidate over Nelson
Rockefeller.
Rockefeller and the CFR wing proceeded to picture
Barry Goldwater as a dangerous radical. In 1968 CFR Nixon ran against CFR
Humphrey. The 1972 "contest" featured CFR Nixon vs. CFR McGovern.
CFR candidates for president include George McGovern,
Walter Mondale, Edmund Muskie, John Anderson, and Lloyd Bentsen. In 1976 we had

Admiral Chester Ward, a member of the CFR for over a
decade, became one of its harshest critics, revealing its inner workings in a
1975 book, "
Most members are one-world-government ideologists
whose long- term goals were officially summed up in September 1961 State
Department Document 7277, adopted by the Nixon Administration: "...elimination of all armed forces and armaments except
those needed to maintain internal order within states and to furnish the United
Nations with peace forces...by the time it (UN global government) would be so
strong no nation could challenge it."
Within the CFR there exists a "much smaller group but
more powerful...made up of Wall Street international bankers and their key
agents. Primarily, they want the world banking monopoly from whatever power ends
up in control of the global government ...This CFR faction is headed by the
Rockefeller brothers," according to Ward.
What must be remembered is that this is not some
lunatic- fringe group...these are members of one of the most powerful private
organizations in the world: the people who determine and control American
economic, social, political, and military policy. Members' influence and control
extends to "leaders in academia, public service, business, and the media,"
according to the CFR 1993 "Annual Report."
Their founding they describe as: "American
Participants in the Paris Peace Conference decided that it was time for more
private Americans to become familiar with the increasing responsibilities and
obligations of the United States...there was a need for an organization able to
provide for the continuous study of U.S. foreign police for the BENEFIT OF
ITS MEMBERS (emphasis mine) and a wider audience of interested
Americans."
They sponsor hundreds of programs, where members
"exchange views with American and foreign officials and policy experts...
discuss foreign policy issues...consider international issues of concern to the
business community" (Corporate business), and "...affiliated groups of
community leaders throughout the United states...meet with decision makers."
The CFR states that it is "host to many views,
advocate of none," and it "has no affiliation with the
They are not AFFILIATED with government,
they ARE the government, in effect.
One re-occurring view was stated in the 50th
anniversary issue of "Foreign
Affairs," the official publication of the CFR. In an article by Kingman
Brewster, Jr. entitled "Reflections on Our National Purpose." Our purpose should
be, according to him, to do away with our nationality, to "take some risks in
order to invite others to pool their sovereignty with
ours..."
These "risks" include disarming to the point where we
would be helpless against the "peace-keeping" forces of a global UN government.
We should happily surrender our sovereignty to the world government in the
interests of the "world community."
Today we have the spectacle of Spc. 4 Michael New, a
Meanwhile, others who attempt to destroy the
Constitution and our sovereignty are given honors and position...At least they
are not hypocrites...only supremely arrogant.
"In short, the 'house of world order' will have to be
built from the bottom up rather than from the top down...An end run around national sovereignty, eroding it
piece by piece, will accomplish much more than the old fashioned assault..." in
the opinion of Richard N. Gardner, former deputy assistant Secretary of State in
"Foreign Affairs," April 1974.
James Warburg, son of CFR founder Paul Warburg, and a
member of FDR's "brain trust," testified before the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee on February 17, 1950, "We shall have
world government whether or not you like it--by conquest or consent."
Is this an AMERICAN speaking, or a dangerous lunatic?
Who is this "We" who threatens to CONQUER us?
They are a group that actually has the power to do
it, and is doing it every day, bit by bit.
CFR Members in the mass media, education, and
entertainment push their propaganda of "humanism" and world
brotherhood. We should all live in
peace under a world government, and forget about such selfish things as
nationalities and patriotism. We can solve our own problems. We don't need God,
or morals, or values: it's all relative, anyway, right?...Because if we actually
had some moral character and values, we might be able to discern that these
people are actually EVIL.
The Bible says that the LOVE of money is the root of
all evil (1 Tim. 6:10). These people are evil because they love money and power,
and greed drives them to do anything to achieve their goals. They have lost all morality and conscience, and
believe such concepts, as well as our Constitution, "outdated".
THAT is insanity--to have more wealth than can be
spent, and still it is never enough. They have to control governments, start
wars, conspire to rule the world; least the "common people" wake up to how they
have gained their wealth, take it away from them, and demand that they pay the
price for their crimes.
That is why they constantly pit us one against the
other, with "Diversity," Affirmative Action, and other programs,...black against
white, men against women, rural against urban, ranchers against
environmentalists, and on and on...least we look in their direction.
We The People are held to a much higher standard. If
we threaten the President or a public official, we are charged with a
crime...yet the One-World-Gang can threaten the Constitution and the liberties
of We The People, the sovereign rulers of this nation, and nothing is said or
done.
Perhaps they do not fear what Man can do to them...
they believe they have arranged everything, and their power and wealth will
prevail in this world. However, those among them who have sworn an oath before
God to uphold and defend the Constitution: the President, members of Congress,
and the military; may find one day that they do indeed have something to
fear.
Colonel House, the fallen angel, still has relatives
controlling the CFR. Karen Elliot House is Chairman of the Membership Committee,
and a member of the Nominating Committee, along with Jeane Kirkpatrick. David
Rockefeller is now "Honorary Chairman of the Board", after serving as Chairman
1970-1985; and "Director Emeritus," after serving as a Director 1949-1985. Peter
G. Peterson is Chairman, Admiral B. R. Inman is Vice Chairman, while Thomas
Foley and Jeane Kirkpatrick are Directors serving on the Executive Committee.
These "private citizens" have access to government
officials and policy makers as often as they wish, yet the results of their
meetings can only be given to other government officials, corporate officers, or
law partners. Participants are forbidden to transmit an attributed statement to
any public medium, such as newspapers or TV, where there is "risk that it will
promptly be widely circulated or published," as the "Annual Report" puts it.
Should not OUR public officials be forbidden to meet
in secret with private groups? Public officials should only be allowed to
discuss public business and policy in a public forum. The Public...remember US?
There is much more to say about this group and their
plans for
There are also the many allegations of involvement in
gun running, drug smuggling, prostitution and sex slaves; and the many
mysterious assassinations and "suicides" of witnesses and others who get too
close to the truth...but that is another story.

CHRIST—
UNIQUE SAVIOR OR AVERAGE

PART II JESUS—UNIQUE SAVIOR OF MANKIND
[Below]
The freshman college student walked into his
first class of Comparative Religions 101. He had come to the
university prepared—or so he thought—for whatever college might throw at him.
After all, he was a faithful Christian, and had been reared by dedicated
Christian parents who, throughout his upbringing, had taught him about the
unique, heaven-sent, virgin-born, miracle-working, resurrected-from-the-dead Son
of God that he revered, served, and loved. His Bible class teachers, and the
ministers to whose sermons he had listened for the past eighteen years,
similarly had reinforced in his mind the concept that there was no one in
the entire history of the world quite like Jesus Christ. In fact, truth be told,
the young student had grown up thinking that no one even came close to
resembling, or imitating, the carpenter’s son from Nazareth.
This young student, however, was about to
receive the shock of his life. Practically the first day of class, the professor
began to recite a slew of similar stories about various “saviors” of other
religions from the past—many of whom, supposedly, also were born of virgins,
were able to perform miracles, were crucified to save mankind, and were
resurrected after their deaths. This freshman was ill prepared to hear his
professor suggest that the story of Jesus Christ as the Savior of mankind is
not totally unique. In fact, he was completely astonished as he watched the
professor document the fact that stories with similar heroes had circulated
decades—and even centuries—before Jesus of Nazareth was born. As he saw what
he believed to be the uniqueness of His Lord essentially evaporate before his
very eyes, the young man began to wonder: Had he been taught incorrectly? Was
Jesus really the unique Son of God, or was He simply one among many
characters of the past who claimed to be a unique, personal savior but
who, in the end, was not? Who were these other allegedly “unique saviors”? Were
they as distinctive as they, or their followers, claimed? And how do such
claims impact the Bible’s teachings about, and a person’s individual faith in,
Jesus Christ as the Son of God?
During his struggle to cope with the new
information that was being presented so eloquently (and so forcefully!) by his
professor, this young man encountered what is known as “cognitive
dissonance”—the confusion one experiences when presented with new
information that contradicts what he or she believes to be true. As he
struggled for consistency, the young man realized that he either had to abandon
what he believed to be true, or somehow disprove (and thereby discount) the new,
challenging information.
The more he pored over the matter, the more
likely—and unsettling—the first option seemed to become. And the more impossible
the second seemed to appear. Left unchecked, his struggle would reach the level
of full-blown doubt, and his confidence in the singular uniqueness of the Savior
he had loved and obeyed for so long would disappear completely. How could he be
helped—or could he? Was the material to which he was being exposed
trustworthy? Or could it be refuted—thus leaving his personal faith in
Christ intact? The answers to these questions form the basis of this two-part
series of articles on “Jesus Christ—Unique Savior or Average Fraud?”
WHO ARE THESE OTHER “UNIQUE
SAVIORS”?
History is filled with examples of those
whose lives—real or imagined—share certain traits with the well-documented life
of Jesus of Nazareth. Such accounts often compose a portion of the curriculum in
college-level comparative religion courses, and provide a fine starting point
for any study about the uniqueness of Jesus.
Consider, for example, Dionysus, a
well-known, mythological god. The usual story of his birth relates that he was
the offspring of Zeus, the immortal leader of the Greek gods who impregnated a
human female by the name of Semele, the daughter of Cadmus, King of Thebes (see
Graves, 1960, p. 56). Dionysus is said to have descended to the underworld and
conquered death, ultimately bringing his dead mother back to the land of the
living. He also is said to have died and been raised again. His followers
called him Lysios or Redeemer, and grape juice commonly was
used to symbolize his blood.
Philip J. Brown noted: “Many Christians
would be horrified to think that Jesus is in some way a manifestation of
Dionysus, but the parallels are complex and deep.... Like Jesus, Dionysus is a
god whose tragic passion is re-enacted by eating his flesh and drinking his
blood” (2000). The Dionysus cult reached
The more we studied the various versions of
the myth of Osiris-Dionysus, the more it became obvious that the story of Jesus
had all the characteristics of this perennial tale. Event by event, we found we
were able to construct Jesus’ supposed biography from mythic motifs previously
related to Osiris-Dionysus:
· Osiris-Dionysus is God made flesh, the
savior and “Son of God.”
· His father is God and his mother is a
mortal virgin.
· He is born in a cave or humble cowshed on
December 25 before three shepherds.
· He offers his followers the chance to be
born again through the rites of baptism.
· He miraculously turns water into wine at a
marriage ceremony.
· He rides triumphantly into town on a
donkey while people wave palm leaves to honor him.
· He dies at Eastertime as a sacrifice for
the sins of the world.
· After his death he descends to hell, then
on the third day he rises from the dead and ascends to heaven in glory.
· His followers await his return as the
judge during the Last Days.
· His death and resurrection are celebrated
by a ritual meal of bread and wine, which symbolize his body and
blood.
These are just some of the motifs shared
between the tales of Osiris-Dionysus and the biography of Jesus. Why are these
remarkable similarities not common knowledge? (p. 5).
However, Dionysus hardly is the only
character from the past whose life parallels that of Jesus. Prometheus is
another legendary, mythological god who experienced a death similar to that of
Christ. The following poem describes his purported death.
“Lo! Streaming from the fatal tree, His all
atoning blood. Is this the Infinite?—Yes, ‘tis he, Prometheus, and a God! Well
might the sun in darkness hide, And veil his glories in, When God, the great
Prometheus, died For man the creature’s sin.” (Graves, 1875, p.
124)
The fact that Prometheus is called “God” who
died for “man the creature’s sin” is similar enough to the New Testament account
about Christ’s atoning visit to Earth to raise eyebrows. But the fact that the story first
circulated around 547 B.C. could well cast a shadow of a doubt on the claim that
Christ is the unique, one-of-a-kind Savior-God.
Or, consider
The parallels continue. In the Egyptian
Papyrus of Ani (also known as The Egyptian Book of the Dead),
which is dated between 1450 and 1400 B.C. (see Budge, 1960, p. 220), the god Osiris
commands the titles of King of Kings, Lord of Lords, and Prince of Princes
(Budge, p. 352). In his intriguing book, Bible Myths and Their Parallels
in Other Religions, T.W. Doane observed: “Osiris, the Egyptian Saviour,
after being put to death, rose from the dead, and bore the title of
‘The Resurrected One’ ” (p. 221, emp. in orig.). Osiris’ scribe, Ani, is
described as one “whose word is truth” (Budge, p. 384). In the latter part of
the papyrus, a specific creed is provided that supposedly is capable of
providing justification for the person who recites it upon his or her entrance
into eternity. That creed reads as follows: “I have given bread to the hungry
man, and water to him that was athirst, and apparel to the naked man, and a
ferry-boat to him that had no boat” (Budge, p. 587). The writer of this
papyrus could have copied the words of Jesus as found in Matthew 25:31-46—except
for one small fact: the Papyrus of Ani dates to 1400 B.C.—over a
thousand years before Christ made His earthly appearance.
Furthermore, in 550 B.C., Confucius
said: “Do not to another what you would not want done to yourself.” Christ
uttered an almost identical statement approximately 600 years after
Confucius when He said: “And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also
to them likewise” (Luke 6:31).
Similarities also exist between the stories
of Buddha and Jesus. In the cover story article he authored for the March
27, 2000 issue of Newsweek on “The Other Jesus,” Kenneth L.
Woodward commented that “the life stories of Jesus and Buddha are strikingly
similar,” and then went on to note that both of these religious leaders
challenged the religious teachings of their day, allegedly were born of
virgins, and were supposed to have worked miracles (135[13]:58-59).
Some Bible critics have suggested that it
would be a simple matter to cite stories with similarities such as these by
the dozen. In fact, in a public debate with theist Norman Geisler (held at
Columbus College in Columbus, Georgia on March 29, 1994), Farrell Till, a
former-Christian-turned-skeptic, stated exactly that when he said to the
audience:
People, I want you to stop and think
seriously for just a moment. I know how much emotionalism is involved in this,
but please understand this. Crucified, resurrected savior-gods, who had been
born of virgins, were a dime a dozen at this time
(1994).
Stephen Franklin—although an avid defender
of Christ’s uniqueness—corroborated Till’s statement in an article in the
Evangelical Review of Theology when he wrote: “Incarnation, far from
being unique to Christianity, seems to be a universal possession of the
religious heritage of mankind” (1993, p. 32).
Christ’s critics have used such parallels
time and again in an attempt to establish their contention that Jesus of
Nazareth is neither a unique character nor a worthy, personal savior. For
example, three weeks after Kenneth Woodward’s article on Jesus was published
in Newsweek, a letter to the editor from Don Zomberg of
Of course, contemporary skeptics who use
such an argument in attempts to debunk the uniqueness and deity of Christ cannot
take credit as its originators. History records that almost two thousand years
ago the early Christian apologists were busily engaged in responding to the
exact same argument. For example, Augustine of Hippo (A.D. 354-426) stated in
his Christian Doctrine:
The readers and admirers of Plato dared
calumniously to assert that our Lord Jesus Christ learnt all those sayings of
His, which they are compelled to admire and praise, from the books of
Plato—because (they urged) it cannot be denied that Plato lived long before the
coming of our Lord (2:28, parenthetical item in
orig.).
Augustine refuted the argument by suggesting
that Plato had read the prophet Jeremiah and then conveniently incorporated
Jeremiah’s teachings into his own. The point, however, is clear: as early as
A.D. 400, skeptics and enemies of the Cross were launching fiery darts of
alleged plagiarism at both Christ and His followers.
Further investigation into the history of
Christian apologetics manifests something even more startling. The earliest
apologists not only recognized that the story and teachings of Jesus bore
striking similarities to ancient mythological accounts, but even emphasized
these similarities in an attempt to get pagans to understand more about Jesus
and His mission. Justin Martyr (A.D. 100-165) set forth an argument in his
First Apology that was intended to put Christ at least on an equal
playing field with earlier mythological gods.
And if we assert that the Word of God was
born of God in a peculiar manner, different from ordinary generation, let this,
as said above, be no extraordinary thing to you, who say that Mercury is the
angelic word of God. But if any one objects that He was crucified, in this also
He is on a par with those reputed sons of Jupiter of yours.... And if we even
affirm that He was born of a virgin, accept this in common with what you accept
of Ferseus. And in that we say that He made whole the lame, the paralytic,
and those born blind, we seem to say what is very similar to the deeds said to
have been done by Æsculapius (Chapter 22).
Tertullian (c. A.D. 160-220) observed that
the story of
While ancient pagans saw, and modern
skeptics still see, such similarities as militating against the originality and
uniqueness of Christ, the writings of such men as Augustine, Justin Martyr,
Tertullian, and others document the fact that early Christians could see
obvious—yes, even welcome—similarities between the story of Jesus and the
accounts of mythological, pagan gods. Furthermore, some of those early
Christians even seized upon those very similarities to defend Jesus’ position as
the unique Son of God. The apologists’ point, of course, was two-fold: (1) men
of the past had searched for a unique savior-god and, finding none,
resorted to inventing him and bestowing upon him certain distinct
characteristics; and (2) that Savior—who, although in the past had been
endowed with unique traits of their own feeble creation—actually had
come!
Christians need to recognize as an
undeniable fact—a fact confirmed by mythology, history, and even early Christian
apologists—that ancient documents reveal that the story of Christ is not the
first story ever told of a virgin-born, crucified, resurrected, miracle-working
savior-god who supposedly died for the sins of humanity. These documents further reveal that many of
Christ’s teachings can be gleaned—at times almost verbatim—from sources
that were in circulation hundreds or thousands of years before Jesus was
born. Early apologists acknowledged these facts because they were, and
are, quite indisputable.
And that leads us back to the issue that
plagued the college freshman mentioned earlier. How, in light of such facts,
can we affirm that Jesus Christ is the unique, authentic Son of God—when stories
similar to His circulated decades or millennia before He ever came to Earth?
What response can we offer to the Bible critics’ charges? And what assurance may
we offer to the young student about the genuineness of his faith?

FOR THOU
ART AN HOLY PEOPLE
UNTO THE
LORD THY GOD
“When the LORD thy God shall
bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and hath cast out
many nations before thee, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the
Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the
Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier than thou; 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.
The LORD did not set his love upon
you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were
the fewest of all people: But
because the LORD loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had
sworn unto your fathers, hath the LORD brought you out with a mighty hand, and
redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of
Egypt.
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
And thou shalt consume all the
people which the LORD thy God shall deliver thee; thine eye shall have no pity
upon them: neither shalt thou serve their gods; for that will be a snare unto
thee.
If thou shalt say in thine heart,
These nations are more than I; how can I dispossess them? Thou shalt not be afraid of
them: but shalt well remember what the LORD thy God did unto Pharaoh, and unto
all Egypt; The great temptations which thine eyes saw, and the signs, and
the wonders, and the mighty hand, and the stretched out arm, whereby the LORD
thy God brought thee out: so shall the LORD thy God do unto all the people of
whom thou art afraid.
Moreover the LORD thy God will send
the hornet among them, until they that are left, and hide themselves from thee,
be destroyed.
Thou shalt not be affrighted at
them: for the LORD thy God is among you, a mighty God and terrible.
And the LORD thy
God will put out those nations before thee by little and little: thou mayest not
consume them at once, lest the beasts of the field increase upon thee. But
the LORD thy God shall deliver them unto thee, and shall destroy them with a
mighty destruction, until they be destroyed. And he shall deliver their
kings into thine hand, and thou shalt destroy their name from under heaven:
there shall no man be able to stand before thee, until thou have destroyed
them.
The graven images of their gods
shall ye burn with fire: thou shalt not desire the silver or gold that is on
them, nor take it unto thee, lest thou be snared therin: for it is an
abomination to the LORD thy God. Neither shalt thou bring an
abomination into thine house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it: but thou
shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is a cursed
thing.” Deuteronomy Seventh

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.

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.

THE
EXODUS
(Part Five of Six)
C H A P T E R 4
Sunday finally came and the Knights were due to arrive at two o'clock that afternoon. Everyone had willingly taken part in cleaning the house. James and Hattie didn't even mind the rap music that filled the house as they all busied themselves. Bobby had even made up his own words to a popular rap tune:
The eyes of the people be opened
The Masons be Jews they be hopened
pooh, pooh, pooh
pooh-pooh-pooh-pooh
Now listen to the deal
We're going home to
pooh, pooh, pooh
pooh-pooh-pooh-pooh
James and Hattie looked at each other and burst out laughing.
There was a snack spread on the rickety-makeshift cocktail table that looked nice with the help of the pretty table cloth that Hattie had starched and ironed. James cautioned the children to permit the guests a chance to enjoy the crackers and cheese and other things they were serving. Bobby, with his modern day wit and bottomless stomach said, "Now, if I had Moses' staff, I'd part this table into two sections and stack each one with enough cheese and crackers to feed a multitude. Second thought, so long as the power would be in me, for entertainment, I'd have the Fat Boys, Bobby Brown, and..."
"Bobby," shouted Hattie, "when the Knights get here, please turn off that radio and lay all rapping to rest. Thank you."
"Mama, they're coming," screamed Thomas. "How do I look?"
"You look just like Thomas Mason to me," retorted Bobby.
"You look just fine, Thomas," said Hattie as she scowled at Bobby.
Lizzy and Maggie were busy putting the finishing touches, a bow, in Maggie's hair and clamping her very special imitation pearls around her neck. Jonathon and Bobby stood to the side watching and mocking the girls as they ran from room to room in a frenzy trying to be ready by the time the Knights reached the front door.
Jacob's knock at the door broke the suspense and brought deafening silence. James opened the door and invited the Knights to come in and feel at home. Miriam walked in first and the children and Jacob followed. Hattie and Lizzie took their coats. Maggie's mouth hung open and the words, "She's beautiful!" rang out.
Miriam wore a
floor-length dress that appeared to come from
Both of the men introduced their wives and children with pride. Afterward, the guests seated themselves and James sat on the floor across from Jacob and told all of them to help themselves to some snacks. Miriam sat in a chair next to Hattie, and they were already involved in a discussion on sewing. Hattie was amazed to learn that Miriam had made her dress and had done so without the aid of a pattern.
The children sat for a
few minutes and then grouped themselves in the kitchen talking about school,
basketball, and of course rap music.
Mi-cha-ale and Thomas
played nicely together. Pearl
helped Thomas show off his precious rock collection.
James was now seated
in the chair adjacent to Jacob. The
two men were laughing about one of Jacob's experiences in
"Yeah, man, I've been called many things but never have I been called 'Cooshie' before," said Jacob. After questioning a man who spoke English fluently, he told Jacob that "Cooshie" was formed from the word "Cush," a people of the seed of Ham spoken of in the Bible. Although "Cooshie" was a racist slur, Jacob told James that he could appreciate the name as it at least identified Blacks, African or otherwise, as being somebody of significance. Jacob told James that African-Americans who had no knowledge of Black History didn't have a true sense of self-esteem or concern for their people, and therefore, couldn't take pride in being Black.
James asked Jacob if
Blacks lived in
Jacob expressed
sadness when relaying to James that the Israeli government did not accept Black
Jews from the

too, that although this "White Jew" (Esau) is our brother, the God of Abraham,
Isaac, and Jacob established His covenant with us (
"I might add, just because the Israeli government does not recognize Black Americans as being Israelites, that anyone with the desire to worship the God of Israel can do so and without conversion. All God required was that the strangers' males be circumcised (Exodus 12:48 and 49), and that they keep His laws.
James thought to
himself that if God wasn't on the side of us black people, that we didn't have a
chance. "Well, Jacob," said James,
"how soon do you think it will be before we can freely return to

James, I could leave your house right now and go straight to the boat, jet, or
whatever is headed for

"Tell me, Jacob, if I prayed to the God of Israel, do you think He would hear me? I've only just learned about Him, you know. And believe me, I've never wanted to know so much about God as I have these past few days."
"Pray to Him,
James. I'm very serious. If you're sincere, as I'm sure you are,
He will hear you. But realize that
it's the custom of the Hebrews to pray toward
"I've never been a man of prayer, Jacob," said James, "because I never knew what to pray for except money. I've always tried to do what's right by other people so long as they kept their drugs away from my family and me. I guess I've been ignorant in thinking that God only wanted us to treat others as we ourselves wanted to be treated. I realize now, that just as we expect our children to obey us, God, likewise, wants His people to obey him. It makes sense, Jacob."
"Man, look at the time," exclaimed Jacob as he rose from his seat. "It's almost 9:30, and it seems like we just got here. I really didn't mean to wear out my welcome, James, but I have enjoyed visiting with you, really I have."
"Jacob, since I met you, I've talked about nothing but the Bible, directly or indirectly, and I could talk about it for the rest of the night. Doesn't seem like anyone is ready to go to bed, anyway. But I know we've got to go to work tomorrow. But promise me we'll get together again soon."
"You've got a deal, James. I like talking about the Bible, myself. It helps to keep me on the right track," Jacob said with a smile.
"Jacob gathered his clan together and thanked both James and Hattie for a very enjoyable evening. Hattie and Lizzie gave them their coats, and the two men shook hands and said they'd see each other in the morning while the children reluctantly strolled out the door saying their good-byes. Hattie and Miriam hugged and said that they'd be seeing each other real soon.
After they had left,
Hattie couldn't wait to talk about her exciting new friend. "What a beautiful and talented lady
Miriam is," said Hattie. "She sews
her husband's and boys' shirts and is going to teach me how to sew, too. Gosh, now, I've got to save up for a
typewriter for Lizzie and a sewing machine for myself if I'm going to learn to
sew like Miriam. Maybe, I can find
a good used typewriter and sewing machine at the rummage store at reasonable
prices. And, guess what else,
James," before he even had a chance to answer her. "Miriam works at the cleaners on
"Yeah, baby, he was
telling me about it. Jacob is an
interesting man and so knowledgeable about

The Masons spent
another hour talking about their warm encounters with the Knights, and then
Hattie reminded them all that they had work and school the next day. To her surprise, she had to keep
reminding James, as he wanted to talk a hole in her head going on and on about
what he'd do if he went to
As she was headed for
her bedroom, she could see James sitting on the sofa deep in thought. Hattie knew what was on his mind. Finding this new God, the God of Israel,
really had an impact on him. She
had never seen James so curious about God before. But she didn't care as she, too, was
interested in this great God who had sent black folks to the
Hattie quickly put on her sleeping gown and slipped into bed. As she lay there she asked her new God to give her understanding to be a good Hebrew wife and mother. She smiled to herself because the last time she had prayed, whenever that was, it was to win the lottery. Then Hattie thought to herself, "Well, if what I've learned about the God of Israel is true, then I've hit the jackpot." With that, she fell off to sleep.
Sleep was the last thing on James' mind. He knew there was something he had to do. He had found his God, and now, he had to learn to know Him and to please Him. James got up and walked to each bedroom to check on his family. They were all fast asleep. James didn't care about them seeing him in prayer; he just didn't want them interrupting him once he got started. He thought to himself as he walked back to the living room that one day he was going to have a house big enough to have a room just for prayer with a sign outside the door indicating whether or not the room was occupied.
As James entered the
living room, he determined which direction was the east or
"Dear God of Israel, I've only recently found out about you, therefore, I don't know much, but I'm interested, and I want to learn everything I can in order to be acceptable in your eyes. Forgive me and my family for our sins. Lead me and guide me, Holy One of Israel. Help me to teach my family about you and your laws.
"Put your laws in my heart and in the hearts of my wife and children so that we serve you in harmony and one does not turn the other away from worshipping you.
"Please, Almighty God
of Abraham, if
"Remember the promises you made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to Moses, King David, King Solomon, and to the Prophets to recover a remnant.
"Take us home, God of Israel. Don't prolong the days. Don't let our captors say that you have cast us off forever. Let them know that your covenant with your people is real and still exists.
"God of Israel, since
I've known the truth about you, I've wanted to go home to
"Take me home, God of Israel. Please, take me home."
James fell asleep while kneeling on the floor over the living room chair. Hattie awoke in the middle of the night and was startled to see that her husband wasn't in bed. She quickly ran through the apartment turning on lights and looking for James. When she found him kneeling on the floor, she knelt beside him, hugged him, and whispered his name.
"James," she said softly, "honey, you fell asleep here in the living room. It's late. Let's go to bed, sweetheart." James turned to Hattie, and she could see from his swollen eyes that he had been crying.
"But...Hattie...Hattie, I want to go home.
"Behold, I will gather them out of all
countries,
whither I have driven them in mine anger, and in
my fury, and in great wrath; and I will bring them
again unto this place, and I will cause them to
dwell safely:
"And they shall be my people, and I will be their
God:
"And I will give them one heart, and one way, that
they may fear me for ever, for the good of them,
and of their children after them:
"And I will make an everlasting covenant with
them,
that, I will not turn away from them, to do them
good;
but I will put my fear in their hearts, that
they shall not depart from me.
"Yea, I will rejoice over them to do them good,
and
I will plant them in this land assuredly with my
whole heart and with my whole soul.
"For thus saith the Lord; Like as I have brought
all this great evil upon this people, so will I
bring upon them all the good that I have promised
them.

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

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

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

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