The
following article written by Brother Aharone expresses the hypocrisy of the
phrase “We the People” that the so-called Founding Fathers of this nation used
in preparing the Declaration of Independence. Freedom and Liberation from
injustice is a GOD given right of all men. When will the House of Yisrael be
free?
The New “We the
People”
By Ezrah Aharone 7/10
This July 4th marks 234 years of US
independence. And although America’s ongoing “melting pot experiment” is
theoretically unbiased to Blacks, Latinos and Muslims, the Southern Poverty Law
Center reports that hate
groups, like the well-armed Hutaree militia, have increased 200 percent since
President Obama’s 2008 election.
Texas, the former rebel republic
and current headquarters of the Guardians of the Free Republic is now waging new ethnic and ideological
battlefronts, by arming schoolchildren with conservative-bent textbooks that re-sculpt some of America’s most
traditional outlooks. In Arizona, new immigration legislation now gives a tacit eyewink for police to
roundup and shakedown Latinos. And if you didn’t know, the catchy slogan “If
you see something, say something” is a discreet way of saying “keep a close eye
on all Muslim people.”
The resulting rifts over the
civil liberties of US citizens and Obama’s recent speech on Immigration Reform, offer a perfect platform to dissect the
definition and discrepancies of “We the People” as spoken of constitutionally
and historically.
It was German cartographer Martin Waldseemueller who named the Western Hemisphere
“America” in tribute to Italian navigator Amerigo Vespucci in 1507. As early as
1782 when colonists were still blasting their British kinfolk with musket
balls, J. Hector St. John CrevecoeurCrevecoeur, Hector St. John posed the question “What is an American?” in his
famed book Letters from an American
Farmer. So who then
exactly are “We the People” in modern terms and times?
Certainly, when these three
simple but significant words were first penned in the US Constitution in 1787,
the founders didn’t envisage America becoming a vast multi-ethnic society in a
world of international laws, where state-sanctioned slavery could have them
prosecuted today for the likes of war crimes and crimes against humanity.
Certainly, when the ironfisted
but seldom-mentioned, President James K. Polk, swiped an unprecedented 1.2 million square miles of territory from Mexico as
spoils of war in 1846, it was never intended for millions of Mexicans to sneak
across “America’s” border with impunity today. But as the saying goes,
“Mexicans aren’t crossing the border, the border has crossed them.”
And certainly, as for
Japanese-American citizens, “We the People” became constitutionally meaningless
when Franklin D. Roosevelt decreed Executive Order 9066, which unleashed the US military to
mass-incarcerate 120,000 men, women, and children of Japanese ancestry during
World War II.
While the malice of the founders
and ethnic crackdowns of Polk and Roosevelt do not detract from their “American
greatness,” there’s comparative objection from Blacks and liberal Democrats
because the new textbooks in Texas place positive spotlights on people like Jefferson Davis and Sam Houston. Based on the outcry, you’d think that
Davis and Houston were more crippling to the cause of African Americans, than
say, George Washington or Thomas Jefferson.
If you’ve notice however, there’s
an overall process at work to politically repackage the image and ideals of
America’s founding history. As such, despite centuries of known ethnic mistreatment
and “Whites-Only” privileges, America conversely portrays itself as being
uniquely constituted with rights and freedoms that were always meant for
“everyone” to partake . . . As though “We the People” signified Blacks, Native
Americans, Latinos, Asians and even Muslims all along.
Sure, this promotes feel-good
nationalism, especially during these days of protracted warfare in Muslim
countries. But the unedited political truth as cited in Foreign Affairs magazine is that: “For substantial
stretches of US history, it was believed that only the people of English
origin, or those who were ProtestantProtestant, or white, or hailed from northern EuropeEurope were real Americans.”
Although the founders bequeathed Euro-Americansa largely-AngloAnglo nation, what they didn’t politically calculate
were a few societal probabilities . . . That demographic shifts could eventuate
a “New We the People,” causing Anglo people to teeter on the brink of becoming
a minority on American soil, where “one man, one vote” would become an
establishment threat. Moreover, that the “New We the People” could send a Black
man to the White House in the 21st century.
On the downside, along with
secretive hate groups, the “New We the People” has attracted mainstream
opposition from Tea Partiers who openly aim to “take their
country back,” which among other things is a coded expression of “ethnic
displeasure.” The fact that a group like the Tea Party has almost instantly
become a fully-financed movement of scale, is a foretelling omen that the “New
We the People” can expect continued ethnic resistance well into the future.
So the celebratory fireworks and
barbeques on the 4th of July may mask the nation’s racial complexities for 24
hours. Yet the much-hailed ideals that the Declaration of Independence
proclaims are still nevertheless A Dream Deferred, given that lingering ethnic prejudges
and political contradictions remain endemic 234 years later . . . and still
counting.

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

START THE NEW MOON WATCH ON THE EVENINGS OF
<<<JULY
13,14,15, 2010>>>
BY LOOKING IN THE “WEST” JUST ABOVE THE HORIZON.
“He appointed the moon for seasons…”
Psalm 104:19
The first
“Sign” in the Heavens to provide the start of days, years and “seasons” can
only begin with the “Sighting” of the New Moon Crescent - that which we can
“see” in order for it to serve as a “Sign” and enable us to begin counting our
days and months. Just imagine not being able to “see” the moon at all. How then
could it be appointed for a “Sign” or for “seasons”?
“The natural
thought might be that the moon is like a living being. It is born, grows,
reaches maximum size, then fades and dies, going through all these stages in
one month. Even today, we still talk of the thin crescent in the western
sky as a new moon and the thin crescent in the eastern sky a
month later as the old moon. Half way between is the full moon. As I
explained earlier, this cycle of phases of the moon established the month as a
unit of time, and the first calendars were based on this.” ISAAC
ASIMOV’S GUIDE TO EARTH AND SPACE, pages 79 and 80
In that the
King of Israel is supposed to be a “Righteous Judge” (II Chronicles 1:11),
it stands to reason that he is also supposed to be a “Righteous Role Model.”
Thus, if the King that GOD appoints over Israel observes a “feast” on the
day of the New Moon, then wisdom tells the Nation of Israel to do likewise.
King Saul and the anointed David observed this service (I Samuel 20th
Chapter).
To their and
our hurt our forefathers worshipped all manner of symbols: the sun, moon,
stars, and images of gold and silver. To observe the “Sign” in the heavens as
being the New Moon “Sighting” is NOT worshipping the moon, but rather it is
doing as we are COMMANDED in Genesis 1:14:
“And God said,
Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day
from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days,
and years:”
Some people
feel that the moon has no “light,” but according to GOD’s WORD to HIS Prophets,
it most certainly does: Isaiah 13:10; Isaiah 30:26; Jeremiah 31:35; Ezekiel
32:7.
***
“Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful
noise unto the God of Jacob.
“Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the
pleasant harp with the psaltery.
“Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time
appointed,
on our solemn feast day.
“For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of
the God of Jacob.”
Psalm 81:1 – 4
(A Psalm of Asaph, the Seer –
one who should be well informed about GOD’s Ways)
“Also in the day of your gladness, and in your
solemn days, and in the beginnings of your months, ye shall blow with the
trumpets over your burnt offerings,
and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings;
that they may be to you for a memorial before your God: I am the LORD your
God.”
Numbers 10:10
Contrary to
the belief of some Israelites, the moon does indeed shine! Even if the Moon
shines with the aid of the sun, i.e., reflects the light of the sun, IT STILL
SHINES! And the fact that Scripture attests to this fact, is what’s important:
Isaiah 60:19; Jeremiah 31:35; and Ezekiel 32:7. Therefore, Genesis 1:14 is
proof enough that we must use the shining New Moon Crescents as “…SIGNS, AND
FOR SEASONS, AND FOR DAYS, AND FOR YEARS:”
Some
Israelites, along with White Jews, use the dark phase of the moon to determine
the start of a new month. If the dark phase of the moon lasts for “2-3 days,” then
which of these days is supposed to be the distinguishing “Sign” that determines
the First Day of the month? Or do we just arbitrarily select either/or
depending on the imaginations of our hearts?
On the
contrary, with the use of the sighted “Sign” of the New Moon Crescent in
the Heavens we eliminate any confusion as to which day IS the First Day of the
month.
“So David hid
himself in the field: and WHEN THE NEW MOON WAS COME, the king sat him
down to eat meat.” I Samuel 20:24
At the time of
the dark phases of the moon (generally 2-3 days), as previously written, there
is no “moon” in SIGHT. Therefore, I Samuel 20:24 sheds more light on Genesis
1:14. “WHEN THE NEW MOON WAS COME,” is clearly telling readers that
this is a reference to a visible “Moon Crescent Sighting” - the light in the
firmament…i.e., the “Sign” for (lunar) days. Thus, if we are to count all the
lunar days (29.5) in a month, it only makes sense to start counting from the
New Moon Crescent “when the New Moon was come” and NOT from the dark phases at
the end of the month, which do not emit any “sign” or “light” in the heavens.
The only
problem that presents itself when using the “New Moon Sighting” to call the
First Day of the month is cloud coverage, as this prevents the ability to see
the New Moon Crescent. Nonetheless, when “Sighted,” one can easily distinguish
the New Moon Crescent from all the other phases due to its thin sliver and its
low position in the heavens. And the reason is that no two days or rather
phases of the visible moon are alike. Hence, to use the New Moon Crescent
as the “Sign” in the heavens, as we are COMMANDED to do for our seasons, days,
and years, negates the belief that the “commandment was given to the
luminaries.” The “luminaries” fulfill GOD’s Commandments: the sun shines and
the moon orbits the Earth. They have no need to determine seasons, days, and
years. Hence, our New Moons are obviously of more spiritual significance to
the Nation of Israel than we are aware. And for sure, the TRUTH concerning them
are in GOD’s WORD to HIS Prophets/Seers - not the White Jews or other Gentiles.
All we need do is use wisdom, discern what’s written in Scripture, accept it,
and act accordingly!
“Then Solomon
offered burnt offerings unto the LORD on the altar of the LORD, which he had
built before the porch,
“Even after a
certain rate every day, offering according to the commandment of Moses, on the
sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the solemn feasts, three times in
the year, even in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and
in the feast of tabernacles.” II Chronicles 8:12,13
Unless there is
an emergency, please try not to buy or sell on this day. Conduct all financial
and business transactions prior to the day of the New Moon. Interesting enough,
II Kings 4:23,24 constitutes the New Moon as being a day to seek “the man of
God.” Although the New Moon is NOT a Day of Rest, Our GOD did set it aside
for recognition:
“Blow up the
trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day.” Psalm 81:3
“And it shall
come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one Sabbath to
another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD.”
Isaiah 66:23
“…When will
the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn?…” Amos 8:5
Probably,
the Scripture that most determines and clarifies the fact that our New Moons
are Feast Days is Ezekiel 45:17:
“And it shall
be the prince’s part to give burnt offerings, and meat offerings, and drink
offerings, in the feasts, and in the NEW MOONS, and in the Sabbaths, in
ALL SOLEMNITIES of the house of Israel: he shall prepare the sin offering,
and the meat offering, and the burnt offering, and the peace offerings, to
make reconciliation for the HOUSE OF ISRAEL.” (Caps. are mine.)
Unequivocally,
our New Moons are included in these “SOLEMNITIES” mentioned in Ezekiel 45:17.
“Likewise
the people of the land shall worship at the door of this gate before the LORD in the Sabbaths [Feasts
– NOT 7th Day Sabbaths*] and in the NEW MOONS.” Ezekiel 46:3 (Brackets
are mine.)
Thereby,
this verse justifies the First Day of each month being our “Feast” Day. It should be realized
that the Feast Days that Our GOD selected (Leviticus 23rd Chapter) are “Holy
Convocations,” i.e., on these days we cannot do any work. However, because King
Saul observed the New Moon as a Feast Day, we have every reason to do so, as
well. We also have learned that our forefathers traveled to the Temple to
worship the Holy ONE on the New Moon (II Kings 4:23; Ezekiel 45:17; and Ezekiel
46:1), and when HE has HIS Temple rebuilt, then we will again be able to resume
this service and worship.
When we
return to our heritage and worship YIHOVAH according to HIS Ways, then we can
establish our own “Calendar of the Universe,” whereby, the days of the New Moon
and all GOD’s Holy Days will be recognized by the whole entire World. And I am sure that it
will be the desire of the Righteous Remnant and ALL the world to make a Feast
to the Most High GOD of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob/Israel every First Day of the
Month.
ALSO, I
believe that if Lot (Genesis 19:3) and Abraham (Genesis 21:8) can proclaim
“Feasts,” then there is no stipulation for NOT establishing Feast Days, as we
so desire. Therefore, to proclaim a feast to EXALT the Holy ONE of Israel on the
First Day of each month is quite acceptable - given the Scripture (above)
regarding worshipping Our LORD GOD of ISRAEL, Our SAVIOR, on the New Moons.
We should know that throughout the Tanakh Hebrew Israelites called for “feasts”
for various occasions. Therefore, we are within our rights to observe a Feast
every New Moon to Our GOD, the GOD of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob/Israel. And
those of us who love this WONDERFUL GOD and who choose HIM to EXALT HIM for
being the ONLY LORD and SAVIOR can be at liberty to use the day of the New Moon
to show forth HIS PRAISE in a “feast” and worship HIM in Jerusalem FOREVER.
“And Solomon
awoke; and, behold, it was a dream. And he came to Jerusalem, and stood before
the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and offered up burnt offerings, and
offered peace offerings, and [he] made a feast to all his servants.”
I Kings 3:15

A Tribute to GOD’s “HOLY” Seventh Day Sabbath of Complete REST - HIS WEEKLY
ANNIVERSARY OBSERVANCE and SIGN between HIM and Israelites for HIS CREATION of
the Heavens and the Earth:
“Wherefore the children of Israel shall
keep the sabbath,
to observe the sabbath throughout their
generations, for a perpetual covenant.
It is a sign between me and the children
of Israel for ever:
for in six days the LORD made heaven and
earth,
and on the seventh day he rested, and
was refreshed.”
Exodus 31:17,18
Since we
know for a fact that GOD’s Holy Seventh Day Sabbath is a “Sign” between HIM and
Israel, why take any chance to profane it? Every passage about the Holy
Sabbath of COMPLETE Rest stands strong in support of GOD’s Commandment to abide
in our places on the Seventh Day (Exodus 16:29) – ever last one of them –
including the passage in Jeremiah where we are Commanded to “Take heed to
yourselves, and bear no burden on the Sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates
of Jerusalem;” Jeremiah 17:21 (Please read verses 21 to 27.)
Perhaps the
wise thing to do would be to define the word “burden.” But more importantly,
we need to determine whether or not Exodus 16:29 is a Commandment or not. And
if it is determined to be one, then we should Fear the GOD of Israel and be
obedient to what HE has Commanded of us.
“But the LORD, who brought you up out of
the land of Egypt with great power
and a stretched out arm, him shall ye
fear, and him shall ye worship,
and to him shall ye do sacrifice. And
the statutes, and the ordinances, and the law,
and the commandment, which he wrote for
you,
he shall observe to do for ever more;
and ye shall not fear other gods.”
II Kings 17:36,37
Why must we
debate that which is clearly written for us to do and for very good reason,
if we will only consider and think about it? The Holy ONE wants us to be
first to observe HIS weekly Anniversary of Creation, which is to keep HIS Holy
Seventh day at REST, as HE did, in order that we might be REFRESHED!
“REMEMBER THE SABBATH
DAY, TO KEEP IT HOLY”
Exodus 20:8
“See,
for that the LORD hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the
sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go
out of his place on the seventh day.” Exodus 16:29

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

days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you an holy
day, a sabbath of rest to the LORD: whosoever doeth work therein shall be put
to death.” Exodus 35:1,2
“Six
days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an holy
convocation [“HOLY DAY”]; ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of the
LORD in all your dwellings.” Leviticus 23:3
“Six
days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the
LORD: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to
death. Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the
sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant. It is a sign
between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the LORD made
heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.” Exodus 31:15 - 17
“And
on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the
seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh
day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work
which God created and made.” Genesis 2:2,3
Significantly,
in the beginning when the Holy ONE of Israel established this Sabbath Day of
COMPLETE REST and when HE clearly COMMANDED the Children of Israel in the
Wilderness to observe this Holy Day, HE MADE NO EXCEPTIONS!
If “ALL”
GOD’s COMMANDMENTS are sure, then for sure, we must give credence to Exodus
16:29 and abide in our places on GOD’s HOLY Seventh Day of Complete REST as we
are COMMANDED TO DO!
“He hath shewed
his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the
heathen. The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his
commandments are sure.” Psalm 111:7
GOD’s Holy
Seventh Day Sabbath of REST is not only one of HIS Greatest WORKS of all time,
but this Holy Day is an extraordinary “SIGN” between this Most High GOD, the
CREATOR and HIS Chosen People, the Children of Israel! This Seventh Day also
marks the Anniversary of GOD ending the Creations of the Heavens, Earth, man,
and all that is therein.
“Thus the
heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on the
seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh
day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day,
and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God
created and made.” Genesis 2:1 - 3
“And he said
unto them, This is that which the LORD hath said, Tomorrow is the rest of
the holy sabbath unto the LORD: bake that which ye will bake today, and
seethe that ye will seethe; and that which remaineth over lay up for you to be
kept until the morning.
“See, for that
the LORD hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day
the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of
his place on the seventh day.” Exodus 16:23,29
“And the
LORD said unto Moses, Come up to me into the mount, and be there: and I will
give thee tables of stone, and a law, and commandments which I have written;
that thou mayest teach them.” Exodus 24:12
“Behold, I
have taught you statutes and judgments, even as the LORD my God commanded me,
that ye should DO SO IN THE LAND whither ye go to possess it.” Deuteronomy 4:5 (Caps. are mine.)
CONSIDER
ALSO the fact that the CREATOR GOD of Israel only Commanded that we go to
Jerusalem “THREE TIMES in the year”. Had the Holy ONE wanted us to
travel to Jerusalem on HIS Holy Sabbath Day of COMPLETE REST, HE would have
Commanded that, as well. Thus, given Exodus 16:29, we have to realize,
understand, and accept the fact that it was never HIS intention for us to
travel and/or leave our places on HIS most Holy Seventh Day.
“Three
times thou shalt keep a feast unto me in the year. Thou shalt keep the feast of
unleavened bread: (thou shalt eat unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded
thee, in the time appointed of the month Abib; for in it thou camest out from
Egypt: and none shall appear before me empty:) And the feast of harvest, the
firstfruits of thy labours, which thou hast sown in the field: and the feast of
ingathering, which is in the end of the year, when thou hast gathered in
thy labours out of the field. Three times in the year all thy males shall
appear before the Lord GOD.” Exodus 23:14 - 17
“Three
times in a year shall all thy males appear before the LORD thy God in the
place which he shall choose; in the feast” Deuteronomy 16:16
There
is no Scripture indicating that Israelites traveled to Jerusalem on GOD’s
HALLOWED SEVENTH DAY.
THE PLACE
THAT OUR GOD OF ISRAEL CHOSE IS THE HOLY CITY JERUSALEM.
The
Israelite Way of Life was set in stone in the Wilderness, as to how we are
Commanded to prepare to live according to ALL GOD’s LAW, as well as for HIS Holy
Seventh Day Sabbath of Complete REST, i.e., how we are supposed to keep it,
as well as the consequences for profaning it. And there are no
exceptions.
CONCERNING “HOLY CONVOCATION”
The issue
stemming from the meaning of “Holy Convocation” written in Leviticus 23rd
Chapter is real, and the interpretation is grossly misunderstood. “Holy
Convocation” does not mean “To Gather.” And the sin committed by traveling and
gathering on the CREATOR’s Holy Sabbath of Complete REST has grave consequences
(Exodus 31:12 - 18).
Conclusive
evidence that “holy convocation” DOES NOT mean to assemble is provided in the
passage on Passover. In Exodus 12:16 we are told that Passover is a “holy
convocation” but yet, we are Commanded to observe this High Holy Day with our
immediate families and only to join with another family if one’s members are
too few for the lamb (Exodus 12:4). This proves without a doubt that “holy
convocation” cannot mean to assemble, but rather to keep the holy days “HOLY.”
Some call attention to the fact that because Israelites were Commanded to
”…turn in the morning and go into their tents” (Deuteronomy 16:5-7) that this
is proof of an assembly. Those Israelite families that joined with others are
the ones GOD Commanded to return to their tents.
The Holy ONE
of Israel DOES NOT contradict HIMSELF! HE would not COMMAND us to
“Rest” on the Sabbath Day of Rest and also Command us to “abide ye every man in
your place on the seventh day,” and then confuse us by telling us to
“assemble” on the “rest of the holy sabbath unto the LORD.” This would make
absolutely no sense whatsoever. Therefore, if the Holy ONE of Israel said don’t
bear a burden on the Sabbath Day of Rest (Jeremiah 17:21,22) and that our asses
(used for travel) had to also rest, then for sure we have to “abide in our
places…on the seventh day.” Thus, using our cars and paying tolls and public
transportation on GOD’s Holy Seventh Day of Rest is absolutely forbidden! And
walking to the Temple or to any meeting place was and still is out of the
question all because GOD’s Seventh Day is specifically to be kept as a DAY of
“COMPLETE REST” - Shabatone (as is written in Hebrew).
The wise,
obedient ones understand the great importance of observing this Seventh Day of
Rest exactly as GOD Commanded and will not add to or diminish from this Law of
the “Blessed,” “Sanctified,” and “Holy” Seventh Day
Sabbath.

QUESTIONS ON “OLD TESTAMENT” BIBLE TRIVIA TO PONDER:
QUESTIONS TWO:
“And ye
shall take you on the first day the boughs of goodly trees, branches of palm
trees, and the boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and ye shall
rejoice before the LORD your God seven days. And ye shall keep it a feast
unto the LORD seven days in the year. It shall be a statute for ever in
your generations: ye shall celebrate it in the seventh month. Ye shall dwell in
booths seven days; all that are Israelites born shall dwell in booths: That
your generations may know that I made the children of Israel to dwell in
booths, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your
God. And Moses declared unto the children of Israel the feasts of the LORD.” Leviticus 23:40 - 44
Where in
this passage is there reason to believe in and worship JC? And if no reason
exists, why won’t Israelites abandon the “New Testament”, its teachings, and
JC?
***
“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: And there
shall be no remnant of them: for I will bring evil upon the men of Anathoth, even
the year of their visitation.” Jeremiah 11:22,23
Does this
verse mean that the seed of these evil doers will not continue? And is this
something that we who live during these days should be concerned about?
***
QUESTION AND ANSWER:
“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
“…Turn ye
again now every one from his evil way, and from the evil of your doings,
and dwell in the land that the LORD hath given unto you and to your fathers for
ever and ever: And go not after other gods to serve them, and to worship them,
and provoke me not to anger with the works of your hands; and I will do you no
hurt. Yet ye have not hearkened unto me, saith the LORD; that ye might provoke
me to anger with the works of your hands to your own hurt. Therefore thus saith
the LORD of hosts; Because ye have not heard my words,” Isaiah 25:5 - 8
“Hear ye the
word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of Israel: Thus saith the LORD,
Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven;
for the heathen are dismayed at them. For the customs of the people are
vain…” Jeremiah 10:1 - 3
“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
Is worshipping the works of our hands just as sinful as
is worshipping the works of Gentile hands? And if so, shouldn’t
Christians/Messianics understand that this practice is absolutely against the
WORD of GOD and opposes HIS Righteous Walk of Life?
When we
worship the works of our hands, we invent a god and give it a form.
Another means of worshipping a god, is to invent one, via pen, which would
hopefully give it a credible theology. These are the two methods which have
been accomplished by Israelites and by heathenish rulers to make and worship
the works of their hands. These were the great sins of the Nation of Israel and
the founding fathers of the Christian religion. The works of our hands, be they
of idolatry or of Christianity, they do not and cannot be represent the True
and Living CREATOR GOD. HE set forth HIS own Paths of Righteousness and never
once changed them!
“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;” Deuteronomy 7:9
“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
Most people
fail to realize that everything concerning LIFE AND EXISTENCE revolves around
the CREATOR GOD of Israel and HIS “Perfect” LAW. If it is not HE that is
worshipped, PRAISED, and Magnified, then we worship the works of our own
making, be it the works of Israelites or of Gentile heathens via our false
worship or via theirs, idol worship is forbidden. Worshipping anyone or
anything but the CREATOR GOD is abomination. The JEALOUS GOD of Israel wants
every knee to bow to HIM and to HIM ONLY!
“Look
unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there
is none else. 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 45:22,23
“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
“For from
the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same my name shall be
great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense shall be offered
unto my name, and a pure offering: for my name shall be great among the
heathen, saith the LORD of hosts.” Malachi 1:11

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

[Personally,
I am very encouraged by this information. Given the FDA, the various
pharmaceuticals, and the medical industry, including some doctors, greed is
taking precedent over providing the best foods and medical attention for
patients. And we desperately need a competent nurse and someone knowledgeable
in holistic healing. We are fortunate, as our Sister T’Zirah serves this
purpose, and has desires to see that we heal with the best there is to provide
at this time. T.Y., Editor]

Safe and Essential Patient Care:
By
J.E. Porter MSN RN Clinical
Specialist
Health Promotion and Wellness
Imagine this scene
if you will. A patient, perhaps a loved one, is on the operating table under
anesthesia when they begin to wheeze, the face begins to redden, oxygen and
blood pressure levels begin to drop dramatically. The anesthesiologist, has noted that the safety expert suggests to the surgeon that replacing
his latex gloves is required because the patient is exhibiting signs of a
deadly latex allergy. The surgeon
disregards the request and continues the surgery stating that this was not the
case. The anesthesiologist administers necessary emergency medications and the
patient stabilizes. However, after about an hour into the surgery the patient
has the same symptoms again, and the anesthesiologist rather tersely advises the doctor to replace his
gloves but is ignored again. Yet, another dose of emergency medicine is given.
It‘s not until the
anesthesiologist advises the circulating nurse to notify the hospital president that the surgeon in
anger replaces his gloves. Tests later prove that this patient indeed had
experienced an allergic reaction to latex.
How many
patients have been harmed or died as a result of arrogance and ignorance
because doctors are reluctant to take the advice of others in critical situations? This is the
hospital environment/culture you enter when treated in a hospital environment.
According to Peter
Pronovost, M.D., Ph. D., and Eric Vohr. this types of drama takes place not only in
prestigious hospitals such as Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, MD, but any hospital
anywhere in the US on a daily basis. Would you want to experience this
situation as a patient or have this happen to a loved one? I don’t think so.
Because of the
culture within hospitals and other health care facilities many lives are jeopardized
or lost as a result of either doctor incompetence, medical errors, or lack of
cooperation among health care practitioners. This should not continue, and we
as health care consumers should not tolerate it.
On any given day
patients are exposed to unnecessary infections, medical errors or other
unnecessary infractions of patient safety and care. How can we as consumers
prevent such occurrences to ourselves and to our loved ones? We can
prevent this by arming ourselves with vital information not only about
ourselves but the institutions and the people who we depend upon to prevent,
maintain, or manage our care.
First, we need to
find out everything we can about our own personal health. Do we have drug or
food allergies like latex, penicillin, sulfur, peanuts, iodine, or fish.. How
about fruit allergies? In 2008 while in Africa I discovered I was allergic to
Mangoes. Mangoes are
plentiful in this tropical environment, and I ate them as dessert on a daily
basis.
It wasn’t until I awakened one night
experiencing violent itching and thinking I was being attacked by mosquitoes that I realized that something I
had eaten might have caused this reaction. I soon found out the cause. I waited three days. then ate one mango before going to bed for the
night. I experienced the same symptoms. Many people with allergies to mangoes not only experience the
itching but can also develop massive blisters that might be mistaken for
shingles or other viral diseases. There are many websites devoted solely to
information people have shared about their own experience with mango allergies.
Knowing your
allergies and informing others can alert others to the type of care you may require as a result of
exposure. This information can be stored or displayed on a bracelet or
necklace. Another great way would be to put any vital health information on a
flash drive to be worn around the neck, carried to the hospital to download
information or to share with family.
How should we contend with arrogant
doctors or nurses?
Let them know that you
deserve to be treated with respect and will not tolerate less than this. When they know that
you are serious about how you expect to be treated they are less likely to be disrespectful. Personnel should introduce
themselves, refer to their professional title, whether a Practical Nurse
(LPN/LVN), a registered nurse (RN) APN RN) (Advanced Practice Nurse), Certified
Nurse Assistant (CNA), Registered Nurse Assistant (RNA) Nurse Supervisor, Nurse
Manager. Respiratory Therapist, Physical Therapist (P.T.), Phlebotomist (one
who draws blood specimens), EKG technician, MD (Medical Doctor), DO (Doctor of
Osteopathic Medicine), Intern, resident or P.A. (Physician‘s Assist). Know who they are, the positions they
hold, and their practice limitations and abilities. Do your homework. Ask them!
A professional should not be intimidated if you do.
If you are scheduled
for surgery, do you know what type of procedure is scheduled? Do you know who will perform it and the intended outcome? Do you know whether
this procedure will place you in a particular unit of the hospital afterwards
such as ICU or Intermediate Care or even on a regular floor? Your care is determined where you
will be placed following surgery.
The types of care
needed determines whether you need to be in either an Intensive Care Unit or
ICU, Intermediate Care, or on a regular floor under the proper category such as
Medical Surgical, OB-GYN, Who will be responsible for your care? And what types
of expertise is needed to care for you? Request those who care for you to wash
their hands upon entering your room and after caring for you. Infections are
often spread by the hands and hand washing have proved to be the most effective
way of decreasing infections.
If you are in need of support at any stage
during your medical care process, request a patient advocate or better yet
request that a family member or a health care person with knowledge about
hospital culture accompany you.
Whether it‘s an Ambulatory Care Facility
(ACF), Community or Hospital Clinic, Walk In Medical Care Facility, Doctors
Office, or Hospital, you have the right to be treated with respect and
competent care by a professional who is not intimidated by your concern for a
safe outcome for yourself or others.

Essentials to know
before hospitalization or care within health care environments
Know your food and
drug allergies
Know about
medications used in:
Anesthesia
For treatment
Know the hospital’s infection rates
Know the hospitals

*****
REGARDING OTHER MATTERS OF HEALTH AND EXERCISE…
As always,
before starting ANY exercise program and/or diet, check with your doctor and
get his approval. This is all about being safe rather than sorry.
And if you
feel you are suffering from depression, do know that there are medications
available for you. Don’t be embarrassed; this malady goes with the RAT RACE.
Therefore, see your doctor, and feel better fast!
Have you
started that “Walking” for weight loss and healthy heart routine, yet? There is
no excuse for not going it alone, joining with someone, or even forming a group
to take that walk at least five (5) times a week and for 40 minutes minimum.
So, stop procrastinating and get started. Walk to the tune of Scripture or your
favorite upbeat music. And if you prefer the quiet, walk and meditate with the
Most High. Just make sure that you make time for your body and soul. You’ll see
and feel the difference after just two weeks.
***
THE 52-WEIGHT-LOSS DIET PLAN
Recently, I
heard on the news that soon people will be spending a dollar out of every five
for medical expenses. But if we are healthy, we don’t have to fall prey to this
reckoning. As we grow older, we gain weight. I am a witness! And guess what? We
do not need this extra load we are carrying. Therefore, I am doing something
about it.
My friend and I
have decided to embark upon a Weight-Loss Plan to lose 52 pounds in one year.
We have started by promising to lose one pound a week. Thus, we hope to lose 52
pounds by the second week in February 2007. We have already started, but it’s
not too late for YOU to join with us. So, hop on board and be a NEW
HEALTHIER, LIGHTER WEIGHT this time next year!
Some of the things we plan to do are:
-limit our intake of “white” foods: rice, bread, potatoes, ice cream,
sugar, etc.
-eliminate fast foods and processed foods
-walk at least 3 days a week
-do not eat after 8 P.M. – drink green tea with mint
-eat more fruits and veggies
-bake rather than fry our meats
-drink plenty of water and tea
-weigh in every Tuesday and E-mail the other party the new weight status
A weekly
journal is kept of weight lost or gained. And there is no fair or fun
cheating.
If you do not
need to lose 52 pounds, then adjust the plan to the amount of pounds to lose
and time frame appropriate for you. If you need any help, let me know.
The Brothers
are welcomed to join in the program. By all means, do feel free to share your progress.
List your name, the date you started and the weight you lose each week, or if
you prefer to only post periodically, then list the date you started and the
amount you lost. If you have any special ways to lose a fast pound here and
there, by all means do share.
Let’s start
having some fun. The more competition, the more encouraged we will ALL be to stick with
this Weight-Loss-Diet Plan.
On my first
week, I lost four pounds, and I could feel the difference on my walk as I
climbed the hills. My husband and I both try to walk three days a week for
forty-five minutes. We do about four miles each day.
Don’t forget to first check with your doctor! Better safe than sorry.
Now, get started and feel good and look even better!

THE GREATEST “SPOIL” OF ALL
The Israelites
received Reparations for their free labor when they left out of Egypt (Exodus
12:35,36, Psalm 105:37). Note also that Reparations were given to Ezra for the
building of GOD’s Temple and for the service of the House of the LORD GOD of
Israel (Ezra 7:12 –21). And it is prophesied that we will again receive
compensation for our free labor and bondage in this modern-day Egypt (all
the lands that took Israelites captive):
“The Lord
said, Verily it shall be well with thy remnant; verily I will cause the enemy
to entreat thee well in the time of evil and in the time of affliction.” Jeremiah 15:11

EDITORIAL PERSPECTIVE:
THE KEEPING OF GOD’s MIGHTY LAW
IS IMPORTANT TO US FOR MANY REASONS
“Ye shall have one manner of law, as well for the
stranger, as for one of your own country:
for I am the LORD your God.”
Leviticus 24:22
“And the destruction of the transgressors and of
the sinners shall be together,
and they that forsake the LORD shall be consumed.”
Isaiah 1:28
“Hearken unto me, my people; and give ear unto me,
O my nation:
for a law shall proceed from me, and I will make my
judgment to rest for a light of the people.”
Isaiah 51:4
“The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness'
sake;
he will magnify the law, and make it
honourable.”
Isaiah 42:21
“But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he
understandeth and knoweth me,
that I am the LORD which exercise loving kindness,
judgment, and righteousness, in the earth:
for in these things I delight, saith the LORD.”
Jeremiah 9:24
“The LORD is well
pleased for his righteousness' sake;
he will magnify the
law, and make it honourable.”
Isaiah 42:21
June 23, 2010
GOD’s Book of
the Law is as important to HIM as are the Heavens, the Earth, and all things
therein, including mankind that HE has made. Otherwise HE would not have
Commanded that we observe to do it FOREVER, as it is written without adding to
or diminishing from it. If we do not yet realize the potency of this Mighty
LAW, then contemplate the Message herewith in this month’s Editorial concerning
living GOD’s Righteous Laws, Statutes, and Judgments and the consequences for
not observing to do them.
Every aspect of
Hebrew Israelite existence revolves around the CREATOR GOD of Israel and the
Walk of Life that HE has ascribed for our Way of Life: Dietary Laws, dress and
textile, the Land of Israel, the appointed Place of worship, Ministers of GOD,
and GOD-given Holy Days for worship of the Most High CREATOR GOD of Abraham,
Isaac, and Jacob. And by GOD being a “Jealous” GOD, HE will not condone the
worship of another god nor revoke HIS Righteous Way of Life, i.e., HIS Laws,
Statutes, and Judgments that wholeheartedly EXALT and MAGNIFY ONLY HIM. And if
we are not clear on this, then we must research GOD’s WORD for the Ways of
Righteousness that HE set in stone, which is HIS Truth, and that concerns the
dilemma of this world, and how we can rise above all the Hell upon this Earth.
“And it
shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall punish the host of the high
ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth.” Isaiah 24:21
“Why are
Blacks poor and Whites rich?” I can’t tell you how much this question haunted and
depressed me and from a very early age and even up until the age of sixteen. At
that time the GOD of Israel opened my eyes to HIS Truth. And when HE did, all
my questions were answered for I then knew the True GOD, my identity, why there
had been a Slave Trade in Blacks out of Africa, and what I needed to do to
return to the ONE True and Living GOD – the GOD of Abraham, Isaac, and
Jacob/Israel.
The real
eye-opener is knowing that we committed great sins and abominable
transgressions against Our GOD of Israel even after HE had saved us out of
Egyptian bondage and had given us the Land of Israel. For this reason, we
suffer at the hands of our captors “seven times more” for our sins and in their
lands, nonetheless:
“I will walk
among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be my people. I am the
LORD your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should
not be their bondmen; and I have broken the bands of your yoke, and made you go
upright. But if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do all these
commandments; And if ye shall despise my statutes, or if your soul abhor my
judgments, so that ye will not do all my commandments, but that ye break
my covenant: I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror,
consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause
sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat
it. And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be slain before your
enemies: they that hate you shall reign over you; and ye shall flee when none
pursueth you. And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me, then I
will punish you seven times more for your sins.” Leviticus 26:17
“Their
sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink
offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips.” Psalm 16:4
“Run ye to and
fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the
broad places thereof, if ye can find a man, if there be any that executeth
judgment, that seeketh the truth; and I will pardon it. And though they
say, The LORD liveth; surely they swear falsely.” Jeremiah 5:1,2
“Then said the
LORD unto me, Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, yet my mind could not be
toward this people: cast them out of my sight, and let them go forth.
And it shall come to pass, if they say unto thee, Whither shall we go forth?
then thou shalt tell them, Thus saith the LORD; Such as are for death,
to death; and such as are for the sword, to the sword; and such as are for the
famine, to the famine; and such as are for the captivity, to the captivity. And
I will appoint over them four kinds, saith the LORD: the sword to slay, and the
dogs to tear, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the earth, to
devour and destroy. And I will cause them to be removed into all kingdoms of
the earth, because of Manasseh the son of Hezekiah king of Judah, for that
which he did in Jerusalem. For who shall have pity upon thee, O Jerusalem? or
who shall bemoan thee? or who shall go aside to ask how thou doest? Thou hast
forsaken me, saith the LORD, thou art gone backward: therefore will I stretch
out my hand against thee, and destroy thee; I am weary with repenting. And I
will fan them with a fan in the gates of the land; I will bereave them of
children, I will destroy my people, since they return not from their ways.”
Jeremiah 15:1 – 7
“They are
not humbled even unto this day, neither have they feared, nor walked in
my law, nor in my statutes, that I set before you and before your fathers.”
Jeremiah
44:10
“Wherefore,
as I live, saith the Lord GOD; Surely, because thou hast defiled my sanctuary with
all thy detestable things, and with all thine abominations, therefore will I
also diminish thee; neither shall mine eye spare, neither will I have any pity.
A third part of thee shall die with the pestilence, and with famine shall they
be consumed in the midst of thee: and a third part shall fall by the sword
round about thee and I will scatter a third part into all the winds, and I will
draw out a sword after them. Thus shall mine anger be accomplished, and I will
cause my fury to rest upon them, and I will be comforted: and they shall know
that I the LORD have spoken it in my zeal, when I have accomplished my fury in
them. Moreover
I will make thee waste, and a reproach among the nations that are round about
thee, in the sight of all that pass by. So it shall be a reproach and a taunt,
an instruction and an astonishment unto the nations that are round about thee,
when I shall execute judgments in thee in anger and in fury and in furious
rebukes. I the LORD have spoken it.” Ezekiel 5:11 - 15
“And it shall
come to pass, when thou shalt shew this people all these words, and they shall
say unto thee, Wherefore hath the LORD pronounced all this great evil
against us? or what is our iniquity? or what is our sin that we have committed
against the LORD our God? Then shalt thou say unto them, Because your fathers
have forsaken me, saith the LORD, and have walked after other gods, and have
served them, and have worshipped them, and have forsaken me, and have not kept
my law; And ye have done worse than your fathers; for, behold, ye walk
every one after the imagination of his evil heart, that they may not hearken
unto me: Therefore will I cast you out of this land into a land that ye know
not, neither ye nor your fathers; and there shall ye serve other gods day and night;
where I will not shew you favour.” Jeremiah 16:10 - 13
“O my mountain
in the field, I will give thy substance and all thy treasures to the spoil, and
thy high places for sin, throughout all thy borders. And thou, even thyself,
shalt discontinue from thine heritage that I gave thee; and I will cause
thee to serve thine enemies in the land which thou knowest not: for ye have
kindled a fire in mine anger, which shall burn for ever. Thus saith the LORD; Cursed
be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart
departeth from the LORD.” Jeremiah 17:3 - 5
“Because my
people hath forgotten me, they have burned incense to vanity, and they have caused
them to stumble in their ways from the ancient paths, to walk in paths, in a
way not cast up;
“I will
scatter them as with an east wind before the enemy; I will shew them the back,
and not the face, in the day of their calamity.” Jeremiah 18:15,17
“So shall it be
with all the men that set their faces to go into Egypt to sojourn there; they shall
die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence: and none of them
shall remain or escape from the evil that I will bring upon them.” Jeremiah
42:17
“How shall I
pardon thee for this? thy children have forsaken me, and sworn by them that are
no gods: when I had fed them to the full, they then committed adultery,
and assembled themselves by troops in the harlots' houses.
“For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously
against me, saith the LORD. They have belied the LORD, and said, It is not he;
neither shall evil come upon us; neither shall we see sword nor famine:”
Jeremiah 5:7,11,12
“Thou hast
forsaken me, saith the LORD, thou art gone backward: therefore will I stretch out my
hand against thee, and destroy thee; I am weary with repenting. And I will fan
them with a fan in the gates of the land; I will bereave them of children, I
will destroy my people, since they return not from their ways.” Jeremiah 15:6,7
“And many
nations shall pass by this city, and they shall say every man to his neighbour,
Wherefore hath the LORD done thus unto this great city? Then they shall answer,
Because they have forsaken the covenant of the LORD their God, and
worshipped other gods, and served them. Weep ye not for the dead, neither
bemoan him: but weep sore for him that goeth away: for he shall return no more,
nor see his native country.” Jeremiah 22:8 – 10
“I spake unto
thee in thy prosperity; but thou saidst, I will not hear. This hath been thy
manner from thy youth, that thou obeyedst not my voice.” Jeremiah 22:21
“And I will
cast thee out, and thy mother that bare thee, into another country, where ye
were not born; and there shall ye die. But to the land whereunto they desire
to return, thither shall they not return.” Jeremiah 22:26,27
“Therefore,
behold, I, even I, will utterly forget you, and I will forsake you, and the
city that I gave you and your fathers, and cast you out of my presence: And I
will bring an everlasting reproach upon you, and a perpetual shame, which shall
not be forgotten.” Jeremiah 23:39,40
“I said, I
would scatter them into corners, I would make the remembrance of them to cease
from among men:” Deuteronomy 32:26
Resulting
from the sins of our forefathers is fulfillment of Leviticus 26th
and Deuteronomy 28th Chapters. And numbered among the myriad of
curses that fell upon us was that we would worship false gods. Yes, our GOD of
Israel told HIS idol worshipping, Chosen People that since they rejected HIM
that they would worship other gods in the lands of their enemies and to no
avail.
“And the LORD shall scatter thee among all people,
from the one end of the earth even unto the other;
and there thou shalt serve other gods,
which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even
wood and stone.”
Deuteronomy 28:64
“Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom;
give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of
Gomorrah.”
Isaiah 1:10
“Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a
trumpet,
and shew my people their transgression, and the
house of Jacob their sins.”
Isaiah 58:1
THINK! The
CREATOR GOD does not tolerate sin, transgression, and abomination. THINK! The
CREATOR GOD destroyed many in the Flood of Noah’s Day all because of
disobedience to HIS WORD! THINK! If in the past the CREATOR GOD hated disobedience
and rebellion, common sense tells us that HE will hate it now and forever. Why
wouldn’t HE? That being a given, where did the CREATOR GOD resend HIS Righteous
Walk of Life? HE never did, and HE never will for HIS Ways of Righteousness are
Commanded to be kept “forever”. And HIS WORD is that HE will bring Wrath upon
the wicked, and rightly so, for there can be no peace and stability with the
unrighteous walking HIS Earth. And as long as we turn from GOD’s Righteous
Paths, we will continue to suffer the perils that cause our downfall and our
demise.
“And the
LORD shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth even
unto the other; and there thou shalt serve other gods, which neither thou nor
thy fathers have known, even wood and stone. And among these nations shalt thou
find no ease, neither shall the sole of thy foot have rest: but the LORD shall
give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and sorrow of mind: And
thy life shall hang in doubt before thee; and thou shalt fear day and night,
and shalt have none assurance of thy life:” Deuteronomy 28:64 – 66
“Then shall the
cities of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem go, and cry unto the gods unto
whom they offer incense: but they shall not save them at all in the time of
their trouble.” Jeremiah 11:12
If the Most
High CREATOR GOD of Israel scattered HIS Covenant People, doesn’t it make since
to return unto HIM to pray for relief out of this captivity that keeps us
second-class citizens? Know that of a Truth, we must return back to the very
GOD that put this captivity and misery upon us and realize that HIS punishment
was all because of our great sins against HIM!
“For the
people turneth not unto him that smiteth them, neither do they seek the LORD of
hosts.” Isaiah 9:13
“Wherefore
will ye plead with me? ye all have transgressed against me, saith the LORD. In
vain have I smitten your children; they received no correction: your own sword
hath devoured your prophets, like a destroying lion. O generation, see ye the
word of the LORD. Have I been a wilderness unto Israel? a land of darkness?
wherefore say my people, We are lords; we will come no more unto thee?” Jeremiah 2:29 - 31
“O LORD, are
not thine eyes upon the truth? thou hast stricken them, but they have not
grieved; thou hast consumed them, but they have refused to receive
correction: they have made their faces harder than a rock; they have refused to
return. Therefore I said, Surely these are poor; they are foolish: for
they know not the way of the LORD, nor the judgment of their God.” Jeremiah 5:3,4
It seems
logical that if we know the reason for this heavy burden upon Black Peoples
that we will make efforts to remedy our horrific burden of sorrow and despair.
From what’s written in the Hebrew Scriptures, we can only resolve the pain and
suffering that we bear by returning to this, Our CREATOR GOD, the Holy ONE of
Israel for HIS sights are upon those who seek after HIM.
“I will go and
return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in
their affliction they will seek me early.” Hosea 5:15
The GOD of
Israel is now only interested in the Israelites (and the Stranger) who seek HIM
and will return to HIM and to HIS “Perfect” and “Righteous LAW”, which is how
it should have been from the very BEGINNING! No more will the GOD of Israel
waste HIS time with rebellious Israelites. Instead of HIM sending a Prophet
like Moses to Deliver Israelites out of Gentile lands, HE has left HIS WORD at
the mouth of HIS Prophets for Israelites to return (Jeremiah 50th and
51st Chapters). With that said, those who seek to return to our
heritage will be provided GOD’s Mighty Hand to manifest this endeavor. After
all, the Holy ONE does not want us to return if it is not in our hearts to
do so, and certainly HE has had HIS fill of stiffnecked Israelites who
flatly refuse to live by HIS LAW. In the Wilderness spoken of by Ezekiel the
Prophet, we will find Israelites who will seek to learn about GOD’s LAW and who
will have no agenda to prevent their keeping of it. GOD’s LAW will be our “eye
on the Prize” in our heart keeping us determined to do the Will of Our GOD.
The CREATOR GOD
of Israel formed a “Perfect” and “Righteous” Way of Life in the very BEGINNING
for Adam and Eve and for all generations that followed. Moreover, this Righteous
Way of Life was established to be kept FOREVER and for several profound
reasons:
IN KEEPING GOD’s LAW WE HABITUALLY WORSHIP ONLY HIM:
First and
foremost the CREATOR GOD of Heaven and Earth, all things therein, and
mankind wants all the PRAISE and GLORY for forming these Wondrous WORKS. For
this reason, HIS Laws, Statutes, and Judgments reflect absolute WORSHIP of ONLY
HIM and shed a luminous LIGHT on HIS POWER and HIS ability to kill and save
alive, as well as Judge the wicked and reward the Righteous who are obedient to
HIS LAW.
“And ye shall
take you on the first day the boughs of goodly trees, branches of palm trees,
and the boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and ye shall rejoice before
the LORD your God seven days. And ye shall keep it a feast unto the LORD
seven days in the year. It shall be a statute for ever in your generations:
ye shall celebrate it in the seventh month. Ye shall dwell in booths seven
days; all that are Israelites born shall dwell in booths: That your
generations may know that I made the children of Israel to dwell in booths,
when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.
And Moses declared unto the children of Israel the feasts of the LORD.” Leviticus
23:40 – 44
“I am the
LORD your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, to give you
the land of Canaan, and to be your God.” Leviticus 25:38
“And he said
unto them, Set your hearts unto all the words which I testify among you this
day, which ye shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of
this law. For it is not a vain thing for you; because it is your life: and
through this thing ye shall prolong your days in the land, whither ye go over
Jordan to possess it.” Deuteronomy 32:46,47
“And go not
after other gods to serve them, and to worship them, and provoke me not to
anger with the works of your hands; and I will do you no hurt.” Jeremiah 25:6
THE LAW AND THE FEASTS IN LEVITICUS 23RD CHAPTER EXALT THE ONE
TRUE AND LIVING GOD OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC, AND JACOB:
The Laws of
Righteousness identity the ONE GOD of CREATION, and they give HIM all the GLORY
due to HIM and to HIS Holy Name. The CREATOR is the GOD that wrote these Laws
of Righteousness, that formed mankind, that Commanded Noah to build the Ark,
and that called Abram out of Ur of the Chaldeans to make of him a Nation and to
give him the Land of Canaan – the Land whose name GOD changed to the Land of
Israel after the name of Jacob/Israel and HIS Twelve sons, the people HE
Chose to establish with them an Everlasting Covenant. The CREATOR GOD loved HIS
People so much that HE Commanded that HIS Holy Name be that of Abraham, Isaac,
and Jacob and that HIS Holy Name be a “MEMORIAL” unto all generations FOREVER.
And if that was not enough, HIS Holy Altar and the garments of HIS Levitical
Ministers the Priests bore the names and symbols of the Twelve Tribes of
Jacob/Israel. Thus, the Children of Israel and all the world must
acknowledge GOD’s Holy Name even among the heathen and not profane it. King
David, of all the mighty men of Israel was the first King to set the stage to
Glory and Praise the GOD of Israel among the heathen.
“And God
said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The
LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of
Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial
unto all generations.” Exodus 3:15
“Thrice in the
year shall all your men children appear before the Lord GOD, the God of
Israel.” Exodus 34:23
“And ye shall
not swear by my name falsely, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I
am the LORD.” Leviticus 19:12
“Speak unto the
children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the feasts of the LORD, which
ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my feasts.
“These are the feasts of the LORD, even holy convocations, which ye shall
proclaim in their seasons.” Leviticus 23:2,4
“I am the LORD
your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, to give you the
land of Canaan, and to be your God.” Leviticus 25:38
“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
“But unto the
place which the LORD your God shall choose out of all your tribes to put his
name there, even unto his habitation shall ye seek, and thither thou shalt
come: And thither ye shall bring your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, and
your tithes, and heave offerings of your hand, and your vows, and your freewill
offerings, and the firstlings of your herds and of your flocks: And there ye
shall eat before the LORD your God, and ye shall rejoice in all that ye put
your hand unto, ye and your households, wherein the LORD thy God hath blessed
thee.” Deuteronomy 12:5 – 7
“And thou shalt
rejoice before the LORD thy God, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy
manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite that is within thy gates, and
the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are among you, in the
place which the LORD thy God hath chosen to place his name there.” Deuteronomy
16:11
“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
“When all
Israel is come to appear before the LORD thy God in the place which he shall
choose, thou shalt read this law before all Israel in their hearing.”
Deuteronomy 31:11
“…I will give
thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and I will sing praises unto thy
name. He is the tower of salvation for his king: and sheweth
mercy to his anointed, unto David, and to his seed for evermore.” II Samuel
22:50
“Hearken unto
the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray.
“But as for me,
I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy fear will
I worship toward thy holy temple.” Psalm 5:2,7
“Sing
praises to the LORD, which dwelleth in Zion: declare among the people his
doings.” Psalm 9:11
EXALT THE GREAT AND HOLY NAME OF THE GOD OF ISRAEL FOR THIS IS LAW:
Although the
GOD of Israel will accept all peoples who seek to follow HIM and make HIM their
GOD, HIS affinity is to the Children of Israel, for it is to them that HE made
an “Everlasting” Covenant and established HIS Holy Sabbath a “SIGN” between HIM
and HIS People. Thus, the GOD of Israel only designated HIS Covenant People to show for HIS
PRAISE and EXALT HIS Great and Holy Name.
“…the word
of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield,
and thy exceeding great reward.” Genesis 15:1
“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
“I will
bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in
my mouth. 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 34:1 - 3
“Through thee
will we push down our enemies: through thy name will we tread them under that
rise up against us.” Psalm 44:5
“This people
have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise.” Isaiah 43:21
GOD’s LAW REQUIRES RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENT:
Without
knowledge of GOD’s LAW, most people would imagine that they know how to live
according to ways that are pleasing to GOD. But in truth, they could not be
more wrong. The CREATOR GOD of Israel does not want us to imagine how to worship HIM
and how to treat others, but rather HE wants us to KNOW HIM, KNOW HIS LAW, and
know how to Judge Righteously.
“And I charged
your judges at that time, saying, Hear the causes between your brethren, and judge
righteously between every man and his brother, and the stranger that is with
him. Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; but ye shall hear the small
as well as the great; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the
judgment is God's: and the cause that is too hard for you, bring it unto me,
and I will hear it.” Deuteronomy 1:16,17
“According
to the sentence of the law which they shall teach thee, and according to the
judgment which they shall tell thee, thou shalt do: thou shalt not decline from
the sentence which they shall shew thee, to the right hand, nor to the left.” Deuteronomy 17:11
“Hearken
unto me, my people; and give ear unto me, O my nation: for a law shall proceed
from me, and I will make my judgment to rest for a light of the people” Isaiah 51:4
“Cry aloud,
spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their
transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.”
Isaiah 58:1
“For I the
LORD love judgment, I hate robbery for burnt offering; and I will direct
their work in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.” Isaiah
61:8
“Run ye to and
fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the
broad places thereof, if ye can find a man, if there be any that executeth
judgment, that seeketh the truth; and I will pardon it.” Jeremiah 5:1
“Behold, the
days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and
a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in
the earth.” Jeremiah 23:5
“For I will set
mine eyes upon them for good, and I will bring them again to this land: and I
will build them, and not pull them down; and I will plant them, and not pluck
them up. And I will give them an heart to know me, that I am the LORD: and
they shall be my people, and I will be their God: for they shall return unto me
with their whole heart.” Jeremiah 24:6,7
WITHOUT QUESTION, THE ABOVE PASSAGE COMPLETELY LEAVES OUT ANY CREDENCE TO
THE WORSHIP OF JC.
“Seek good, and
not evil, that ye may live: and so the LORD, the God of hosts, shall be with
you, as ye have spoken. Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish
judgment in the gate: it may be that the LORD God of hosts will be gracious
unto the remnant of Joseph.” Amos 5:14,15
IT IS GOD’s RIGHTEOUS LAW THAT JOINS HIS PEOPLE UNTO HIM:
Our GOD of
Israel is HOLY, RIGHTEOUS, and ALL POWER in all that HE Plans and does. HE CAN
DO NO WRONG! When HE Created the Heavens and the Earth and all things therein,
it was all done to PERFECTION. HE even Created the Children of Israel in HIS
IMAGE. HE being HOLY wants HIS People to also to be “HOLY”. And Israel can
only be a Holy People unto HIM if we observe to live and do HIS Righteous Laws,
Statutes, and Judgments that HE designed, for only living and doing these LAWS
- GOD’s Way - can render us Holy unto Our CREATOR GOD of Israel. We should
realize that this is what makes Israelites worthy to show forth GOD’s PRAISE.
“And ye
shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words
which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.” Exodus 19:6
“For I am
the LORD your God: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy;
for I am holy: neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that
creepeth upon the earth.” Leviticus 11:44
“And what
nation is there so great, that hath statutes and judgments so righteous as all
this law, which I set before you this day?” Deuteronomy 4:8
“The LORD shall
establish thee an holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, if
thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, and walk in his ways.”
Deuteronomy 28:9
INHABITING THE LAND OF ISRAEL IS CONTINGENT ON THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL AND
THE STRANGER LIVING BY GOD’s BOOK OF THE LAW:
When the
Children of Israel were in the Wilderness the GOD of Israel was quite clear in
explaining to them that they are Commanded to keep HIS LAW and live by it, or
they would surely be spued from the Land. And I cannot stress enough that this
Righteous LAW unequivocally is strictly about the worship of the GOD of Israel
and about HIS Walk of Life without adding to or diminishing from what’s
written. Throughout the Book of the Law, GOD’s Servant Moses reminds them to
take heed to keep HIS LAW even before they entered into the Land. And likewise,
GOD’s Prophet Joshua advised them of same.
“Ye shall
therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit any of these
abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth
among you: (For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which
were before you, and the land is defiled;) That the land spue not you out
also, when ye defile it, as it spued out the nations that were before you.”
Leviticus 18:26 – 28
“And if ye
will not for all this hearken unto me, but walk contrary unto me; Then I will
walk contrary unto you also in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you seven
times for your sins. And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of
your daughters shall ye eat. And I will destroy your high places, and cut down
your images, and cast your carcases upon the carcases of your idols, and my
soul shall abhor you. And I will make your cities waste, and bring your
sanctuaries unto desolation, and I will not smell the savour of your sweet
odours. And I will bring the land into desolation: and your enemies which dwell
therein shall be astonished at it. And I will scatter you among the heathen,
and will draw out a sword after you: and your land shall be desolate, and your
cities waste. Then shall the land enjoy her sabbaths, as long as it lieth
desolate, and ye be in your enemies' land; even then shall the land rest, and
enjoy her sabbaths.” Leviticus 26:27 – 34
“For he rent
Israel from the house of David; and they made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king:
and Jeroboam drave Israel from following the LORD, and made them sin a great
sin. For the children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he
did; they departed not from them; Until the LORD removed Israel out of his
sight, as he had said by all his servants the prophets. So was Israel
carried away out of their own land to Assyria unto this day.” II Kings
17:21 – 23
“Remember, I
beseech thee, the word that thou commandedst thy servant Moses, saying, If ye
transgress, I will scatter you abroad among the nations:” Nehemiah 1:8
“And the
LORD saith, Because they have forsaken my law which I set before them, and have
not obeyed my voice, neither walked therein; But have walked after the
imagination of their own heart, and after Baalim, which their fathers taught them:
Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will feed
them, even this people, with wormwood, and give them water of gall to drink. I
will scatter them also among the heathen, whom neither they nor their fathers
have known: and I will send a sword after them, till I have consumed them.”
Jeremiah 9:13 – 16
Most
disturbingly, many Hebrew Israelite groups are living according to the
teachings of the “New Testament”. They turn a blind eye to the fact that
Israelites have been well instructed to NOT do “what ye believe to be right
in your own eyes” and, more importantly, to NOT BE INTICED to serve other gods.
Yet, they staunchly read, teach, and study from this Christian book that was
not ever indorsed by the Most High CREATOR GOD of Israel.
“If thy
brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy
bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul, entice thee secretly,
saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou,
nor thy fathers; Namely, of the gods of the people which are
round about you, nigh unto thee, or far off from thee, from the one end
of the earth even unto the other end of the earth; Thou shalt not
consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him,
neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him: But thou shalt
surely kill him; thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and
afterwards the hand of all the people.” Deuteronomy 13:6 - 9
Where in the
“New Testament” can we find “Thus Saith the LORD” or “Thus speaketh the LORD
GOD of Israel” or even where GOD said, “Write thee all the WORDS that I have
spoken unto thee in a book”? Where can we find anything in this “New” Book
concerning GOD’s LAW and HIS Commandments? Of a Truth, Israelites are Commanded
to not add to or diminish from GOD’s WORD, and this Law is completely
disregarded. And for that reason, people walk in darkness and at their own
peril.
“Therefore I
said, Surely these are poor; they are foolish: for they know not the way of
the LORD, nor the judgment of their God.” Jeremiah 5:4
“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
Everything
we need to know about the ONE True and Living GOD of Israel is written in the
“Old Testament” by the hand of HIS Prophets. If we want to know HIS Laws,
Statutes, and Judgments, they are there. If we want to know HIS WORD, it is
there. If we want to know if HE ever spoke to the Children of Israel, then we
can find where HE spoke to them, and that they heard HIS Voice.
“…Hear me, O
Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the LORD your God, so shall
ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.” II Chronicles 20:20
“And the LORD
spake unto you out of the midst of the fire: ye heard the voice of the
words, but saw no similitude; only ye heard a voice.
“Take ye
therefore good heed unto yourselves; for ye saw no manner of similitude on the
day that the LORD spake unto you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire: Lest ye
corrupt
yourselves, and make you a graven image, the similitude of any figure, the
likeness of male or female,” Deuteronomy 4:12,15,16
“But the LORD
hath taken you, and brought you forth out of the iron furnace, even out of
Egypt, to be unto him a people of inheritance, as ye are this day.”
Deuteronomy 4:20
People have
an ingrained tendency to make gods that they can see. For this reason, the “Old
Testament” GOD of Israel only used HIS Voice to speak to the Israelites. Nevertheless,
the “New Testament” writers specifically produced a god that worshippers could
in fact see and believe in. However, this belief and faith in this man-god, JC,
has proven nothing and for good reason.
“Shew the
things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that ye are gods:
yea, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and behold it
together.
“Behold,
they are all vanity; their works are nothing: their molten images
are wind and confusion.” Isaiah 41:23,29
The GOD of
Israel said that these false gods whom the Children of Israel pursued would not
be of any help to them. Hence, the very reason that JC has not made a
difference in the lives of those who believe in him. So, where has JC helped
anyone? People, especially those who hope and trust in him, suffer the most.
Why trust in a man who lied in GOD’s Holy Name? JC said that GOD’s Kingdom was
nigh, when it wasn’t. He said he was sent to the “Lost Sheep of the House of
Israel”, when in Truth, the CREATOR GOD of Israel had already scattered the
Israelites into the “four corners of the Earth” at the time of the so-called coming
of JC. Thus, for sure, they were not and could not have been in the Land (James
1:1) during the time of the Christian Era.
“Therefore
now thus saith the LORD, the God of hosts, the God of Israel; Wherefore commit
ye this great evil against your souls, to cut off from you man and
woman, child and suckling, out of Judah, to leave you none to remain; In that ye provoke me
unto wrath with the works of your hands, burning incense unto other gods in the
land of Egypt, whither ye be gone to dwell, that ye might cut yourselves off,
and that ye might be a curse and a reproach among all the nations of the
earth? Have ye forgotten the wickedness of your fathers, and the wickedness
of the kings of Judah, and the wickedness of their wives, and your own
wickedness, and the wickedness of your wives, which they have committed in the
land of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem? They are not humbled even
unto this day, neither have they feared, nor walked in my law, nor in my
statutes, that I set before you and before your fathers.” Jeremiah 44:7 -
10
“Therefore thus
saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will set my face
against you for evil, and to cut off all Judah. And I will take the remnant
of Judah, that have set their faces to go into the land of Egypt to sojourn
there, and they shall all be consumed, and fall in the land of Egypt;
they shall even be consumed by the sword and by the famine: they
shall die, from the least even unto the greatest, by the sword and by the
famine: and they shall be an execration, and an astonishment, and a
curse, and a reproach.” Jeremiah 44:11,12
“Because ye
have burned incense, and because ye have sinned against the LORD, and have not
obeyed the voice of the LORD, nor walked in his law, nor in his statutes, nor
in his testimonies; therefore this evil is happened unto you, as at this day.
“Behold, I
will watch over them for evil, and not for good: and all the men of Judah that are
in the land of Egypt shall be consumed by the sword and by the famine, until
there be an end of them.” Jeremiah 44:23,27
“The
children also of Judah and the children of Jerusalem have ye sold unto the
Grecians, that ye might remove them far from their border.” Joel 3:6 (See also
Obadiah where Esau watches as Jacob‘s SEED is carried away captive by the
heathen.)
JC lied just
like the Prophet Hananiah.
The GOD of
Israel pronounced death upon Hananiah for making the Israelites believe in a
lie. He contradicted Jeremiah’s prophecy that the Judahites would be in
Babylonian captivity for seventy years. Hananiah said the captivity would only
last for two years. For that lie, Hananiah lost his life.
“Then said
the prophet Jeremiah unto Hananiah the prophet, Hear now, Hananiah; The LORD
hath not sent thee; but thou makest this people to trust in a lie. Therefore
thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will cast thee from off the face of the earth:
this year thou shalt die, because thou hast taught rebellion against the LORD.
So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month.” Jeremiah 28:15 - 17
Although the
above passage is about Hananiah, we can learn two things here: JC cannot be
sent by the GOD of Israel, and more importantly; JC knows nothing about the
establishment of GOD‘s Kingdom, not to mention that he is a liar (or should the
onus and guilt fall upon the writers of the “New Testament“.)
During the day,
when the GOD of Israel chose Prophets to go before HIS People, HE sent them to
the Israelites reminding them to take heed to HIS LAW and to live
Righteously or pay the consequences.
“…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. 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 7:23 - 26
“I have sent
also unto you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them,
saying, Return ye now every man from his evil way, and amend your doings, and
go not after other gods to serve them, and ye shall dwell in the land which I
have given to you and to your fathers: but ye have not inclined your ear, nor
hearkened unto me.” Jeremiah 35:15
“Because of
their wickedness which they have committed to provoke me to anger, in that they
went to burn incense, and to serve other gods, whom they knew not, neither
they, ye, nor your fathers. Howbeit I sent unto you all my servants the
prophets, rising early and sending them, saying, Oh, do not this abominable
thing that I hate.” Jeremiah 44:3,4
The GOD of
Israel left no stone unturned. HE even showed us how to determine a false prophet,
therefore, do take note. Reason being, today we’ve got prophets coming out of
the woodwork!
“But the
prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not
commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even
that prophet shall die. And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the
word which the LORD hath not spoken? When a prophet speaketh in the name of
the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing
which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it
presumptuously…” Deuteronomy 18:20 - 22
No Kingdom of
GOD exists in the Land of Israel or on this Earth. And not any Lost Sheep of
the House of Israel have been able to return, either. The White “Jews” control
immigration, and Blacks are forbidden to migrate to the Land of Israel under the
Israeli immigration laws that, by the way, defy GOD‘s LAW that
allows all peoples who seek HIM and HIS Righteous Ways to live in the Land of
Israel - not the Talmud. So where has JC done anything for the “Lost Sheep of
the House of Israel”? Thus, given these circumstances, why give any credence to
this “New Testament”? After all, JC has done nothing for anyone. Let’s not
delude ourselves!
THE CREATOR GOD OF ISRAEL DOES NOT SEND
MIXED MESSAGES!
Since the
advent of Christianity, the world has only gotten progressively worse and
without any signs of the JC god being the “Saviour” that he is hyped up to be
or bearing the WORD of GOD or establishing GOD‘s Kingdom or HIS Peace upon this
Earth. We have witnessed only continued turmoil and destruction of the worst
kinds ever on this Earth and without any signs of times getting better.
There are three
major problems with this book and why it is suspect: The “New Testament” is not
a product of the CREATOR GOD, the “New Testament” magnifies a man, and the
clergy of these diverse Christian denominations teach what the writers of
these books imagined and not GOD’s LAW that HE Commanded at the hand of HIS
Servant and Prophet Moses.
“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
“Know therefore this day, and consider it in
thine heart, that the LORD he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth
beneath: there is none else.
Thou shalt keep therefore his statutes, and his
commandments,
which I command thee this day, that it may go well
with thee,
and with thy children after thee, and that thou
mayest prolong thy days upon the earth,
which the LORD thy God giveth thee, for ever.”
Deuteronomy 4:39,40
“The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness'
sake;
he will magnify the law, and make it
honourable.”
Isaiah 42:21
READ CAREFULLY, EVEN BETWEEN THE LINES OF THE FOLLOWING PASSAGES, AND WITH
WISDOM TRY TO FIND ANY HINT OF A SUGGESTION THAT THE CREATOR GOD IS GIVING HIS
GLORY TO ANOTHER. MORE SPECIFICALLY, FIND WHERE HE SUGGESTS THAT PEOPLE MUST
BELIEVE IN AND WORSHIP ANYONE BUT HIM, BE IT THE MAN IN THE “NEW TESTAMENT”,
WHOM PEOPLE CALL JC OR THE MESSIAH OR SOME OTHER NAME (BE IT GREEK OR HEBREW)
NOT ENDORSED BY THE ONE TRUE AND LIVING CREATOR GOD:
“And God spake
all these words, saying, I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee
out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt have no
other gods before me. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any
likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is
in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou
shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am
a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto
the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;” Exodus 20:1 - 5
“O taste and see that the LORD is good:
blessed is the man that trusteth in him. O fear the LORD,
ye his saints: for THERE IS NO WANT TO THEM THAT FEAR HIM.” Psalm 34:8,9
“In God we
boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ever. Selah.” Psalm 44:8
“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
“Truly in vain is
salvation hoped for from the hills, and from the multitude of
mountains: truly in the LORD our God is the salvation of Israel.” Jeremiah
3:23
“For, lo,
the days come, saith the LORD, that I will bring again the captivity of my
people Israel and Judah, saith the LORD: and I will cause them to return to the
land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it. And these are
the words that the LORD spake concerning Israel and concerning Judah.” Jeremiah 30:3,4
“Their
children also shall be as aforetime, and their congregation shall be
ESTABLISHED BEFORE ME, and I will punish all that oppress them. And
their nobles shall be of themselves, and their governor shall proceed from the
midst of them; and I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach unto
me: for who is this that engaged his heart to approach unto me? saith
the LORD.” Jeremiah 30:20,21
“And ye
shall be my people, and I will be your God.” Jeremiah 30:22
“Therefore they
shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and shall flow together to the
goodness of the LORD, for wheat, and for wine, and for oil, and for the
young of the flock and of the herd: and their soul shall be as a watered
garden; and they shall not sorrow any more at all. Then shall the virgin
rejoice in the dance, both young men and old together: for I will turn their
mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their
sorrow. And I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, and my
people shall be satisfied with my goodness, saith the LORD.” Jeremiah 31:12 -
14
“And it
shall come to pass, that like as I have watched over them, to pluck up,
and to break down, and to throw down, and to destroy, and to afflict; so will I
watch over them, to build, and to plant, saith the LORD.
“And they shall
teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know
the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest
of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember
their sin no more.” Jeremiah 31:28,34
“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.” Jeremiah 32:37 - 41
WE DO NOT NEED JC!!!
“O LORD of
hosts, God of Israel, that dwellest between the cherubims, thou art
the God, even thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth: thou hast
made heaven and earth.” Isaiah 37:16
“Remember
these, O Jacob and Israel; for thou art my servant: I have formed thee;
thou art my servant: O Israel, thou shalt not be forgotten of me. I
have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy
sins: return unto me; for I have redeemed thee.” Isaiah 44:21,22
The CREATOR
GOD is the ONLY REDEEMER - a JEALOUS GOD, and HE is not giving HIS GLORY to
another - not to JC and not to any other false god. HE formed the Heavens and the
Earth, “All by MYSELF”, so why should HE give the credit and the accolades to
someone or to something that is a god contrived by the works and pen of men who
had no fear of the CREATOR GOD and zealously wanted HIM and HIS LAW out of the
picture. Therefore, these writers committed the worst of sins. They not only
ignored and changed GOD’s LAW, but they imagined a man-god and convinced people
to worship it. Then they swept knowledge of the True and Living CREATOR GOD and
HIS Wondrous Works and Might under the rug - out of sight! Christian leaders
have their followers “praying to a god that cannot save” (Isaiah 45:20; 46:7;
Jeremiah 11:12), and those to whom they teach to worship this man-god are
doomed.
“For the
leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are
destroyed.” Isaiah 9:16
“And thou,
Pashur, and all that dwell in thine house shall go into captivity: and thou
shalt come to Babylon, and there thou shalt die, and shalt be buried there,
thou, and all thy friends, to whom thou hast prophesied lies.” Jeremiah
20:6
Why won’t
believers in the “New Testament” do the research on how these writings
transpired and engulfed the world? GOOD QUESTION! Why won’t Christians and
Messianics stop listening to men who speak the imaginations of their hearts and
start hearing the WORD of GOD, the CREATOR?!
“For ask
now of the days that are past, which were before thee, since the day that
God created man upon the earth, and ask from the one side of heaven unto
the other, whether there hath been any such thing as this great thing is,
or hath been heard like it? Did ever people hear the voice of God
speaking out of the midst of the fire, as thou hast heard, and live? Or
hath God assayed to go and take him a nation from the midst of another
nation, by temptations, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a mighty
hand, and by a stretched out arm, and by great terrors, according to all that
the LORD your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes? Unto thee it was
shewed, that thou mightest know that the LORD he is God; there is
none else beside him. Out of heaven he made thee to hear his voice, that he
might instruct thee: and upon earth he shewed thee his great fire; and thou
heardest his words out of the midst of the fire. And because he loved thy
fathers, therefore he chose their seed after them, and brought thee out in his
sight with his mighty power out of Egypt; To drive out nations from before thee
greater and mightier than thou art, to bring thee in, to give thee their
land for an inheritance, as it is this day. Know therefore
this day, and consider it in thine heart, that the LORD he is God
in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is none else.
Thou shalt keep therefore his statutes, and his commandments, which I command
thee this day, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee,
and that thou mayest prolong thy days upon the earth, which the LORD thy
God giveth thee, for ever.” Deuteronomy 4:32 - 40
“I spake
unto thee in thy prosperity; but thou saidst, I will not hear. This hath been
thy manner from thy youth, that thou obeyedst not my voice.” Jeremiah 22:21
“O that
there were such an heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my
commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children
for ever!” Deuteronomy 5:29
Neither
GOD’s Prophets, HIS WORD, nor HIS Voice are found in the “New Testament”. Reason being, it was the
staunch intention of the writers of the “New Testament” to establish a “New”
religion – the “New Testament” for worship of JC. These writers of the “New
Testament” speak a vision of their own hearts and not out of the Mouth of the
LORD. Thus, when we embrace the “New Testament” teachings that do not Magnify GOD’s
LAW and HIS Commandments, we still DO NOT HEAR THE WORD OF GOD!
Today, there
is no VOICE of GOD, and HIS Voice has not existed among HIS People since four
hundred years before the Christian Era. After the GOD of Israel
scattered HIS Chosen, HE no longer sent Prophets to them.
“Her gates
are sunk into the ground; he hath destroyed and broken her bars: her king and
her princes are among the Gentiles: the law is no more; her prophets also find
no vision from the LORD.” Lamentation 2:9
Therefore, it
stands to reason that if the writers of the “New Testament” do not promote the
WORD of GOD, then this “New Testament” literature is but fiction, and poorly
written at that. These writers did not do their homework, and because they
didn’t, their writings are proved effortlessly to be the works of men’s hands
and proved to contradict the CREATOR 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
“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 23:22
How long,
Israel; How long will it take for us to hear GOD’s WORD and accept it and
reject the works that man has contrived to deceive GOD’s Elect to cause the
Children of Israel to err by man’s word and ideals in order that they forget
the ONE True and Living GOD for belief in JC and for worship of him?
“For who
hath stood in the counsel of the LORD, and hath perceived and heard his word?
who hath marked his word, and heard it?” Jeremiah 23:18
ISRAEL’s RETURN HINGES ON THEIR RETURN TO GOD’s LAW THAT MAGNIFIES ONLY
HIM:
Throughout the
short time that Israel inhabited the Land, the GOD of Israel Delivered them
countless times out of the hands of their enemies. When they sinned against
HIM, HE caused them to go into captivity, and when they cried unto HIM, HE,
being a GOD of Multiple Mercies, heard their prayers and would save them out of
their enemies’ hands. However, after watching them countless times serve
false gods and ignore HIS LAWS, the GOD of Israel grew tired of rescuing
prophets, priests, and other men of Israel who were Hell bent on having things
and worship their way.
“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.
He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his
wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion. When he uttereth
his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the
vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings with rain,
and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures.” Jeremiah 10:10 - 13
So, true to HIS
WORD, HE punished HIS Covenant People for disobedience to HIS Righteous LAW.
Badly the Holy ONE wanted HIS People the Nation of Israel to Exalt HIM and HIS
Holiness before the Nations, but they chose to magnify gods made by man’s
hands. Of a Truth, HE had good reason to wash HIS Hands of the Children of
Israel and scatter them into the hands of their enemies - ruthless heathens who
showed them no mercy (Isaiah 47:6). In these lands the SEED of the Children of
Israel are here to tell you that yes, we suffer great affliction and
tribulation, and we eat defiled bread among the Gentiles, as well as endure
untold diseases. But because the GOD of Israel is a Merciful and Loving GOD, HE
has promised to cause Israel’s return, if we will return to HIM with our whole
heart, soul, and might and resign ourselves to accepting, acknowledging, and
living HIS HOLY LAWS of Righteousness.
“And the LORD
shall scatter you among the nations, and ye shall be left few in number among
the heathen, whither the LORD shall lead you. And there ye shall serve gods,
the work of men's hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat,
nor smell. But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt
find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul. When thou
art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, even in the latter
days, if thou turn to the LORD thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice;
(For the LORD thy God is a merciful God;) he will not forsake thee, neither
destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them. Deuteronomy
4:27 – 31
“And it
shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and
the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call them to mind among
all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath driven thee, And shalt return unto
the LORD thy God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee
this day, thou and thy children, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul;
That then the LORD thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon
thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither the LORD
thy God hath scattered thee. If any of thine be driven out unto the outmost parts of
heaven, from thence will the LORD thy God gather thee, and from thence will he
fetch thee: And the LORD thy God will bring thee into the land which thy
fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it; and he will do thee good, and
multiply thee above thy fathers.” Deuteronomy 30:1 – 5
“We have dealt
very corruptly against thee, and have not kept the commandments, nor the
statutes, nor the judgments, which thou commandedst thy servant Moses.
Remember, I beseech thee, the word that thou commandedst thy servant Moses,
saying, If ye transgress, I will scatter you abroad among the nations: But
if ye turn unto me, and keep my commandments, and do them; though there were of
you cast out unto the uttermost part of the heaven, yet will I gather them from
thence, and will bring them unto the place that I have chosen to set my name
there.” Nehemiah 1:7 - 9
“Neither will I
make the feet of Israel move any more out of the land which I gave their
fathers; only if they will observe to do according to all that I have
commanded them, and according to all the law that my servant Moses commanded
them.” II Kings 21:8
“For thus
saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be
saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not.”
Isaiah 30:15
“But let him
that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am
the LORD which exercise loving kindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the
earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD.” Jeremiah 9:24
“Therefore
thus saith the LORD, If thou return, then will I bring thee again, and thou
shalt stand before me: and if thou take forth the precious from the vile, thou
shalt be as my mouth: let them return unto thee; but return not thou unto them.
And I will make thee unto this people a fenced brasen wall: and they shall
fight against thee, but they shall not prevail against thee: for I am with thee
to save thee and to deliver thee, saith the LORD. And I will deliver thee
out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem thee out of the hand of the
terrible.” Jeremiah 15:19 – 21
“Therefore the
showers have been withholden, and there hath been no latter rain; and thou
hadst a whore's forehead, thou refusedst to be ashamed.
“Return, ye
backsliding children, and I will heal your backslidings. Behold, we come unto
thee; for thou art the LORD our God.” Jeremiah 30:3,22
“Even from the
days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them.
Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the LORD of hosts…” Malachi
3:7
Thus, the
reason we are informed in GOD’s Book of the LAW that our Deliverance hinges on
our RETURN to the CREATOR GOD’s Ways of Righteousness - HIS Book of the Law
(Genesis - Deuteronomy).
SALVATION, PEACE, HAPPINESS, REST, AND SAFETY ARE GOD’s PROMISES IF ISRAEL
WILL CHOOSE TO FOLLOW HIS LAW:
Let us choose
to follow the Righteous Paths Commanded of us to take, for only by choosing
this Way of Life are we promised Blessings above and beyond what we could ever
imagine.
Although the
CREATOR GOD of Israel gave the Children of Israel the Land of Israel, HIS Plan
was to give them so much more if they would only be obedient to HIS Way of
Life. Their abominations and worship of false gods caused another Plan to
befall them. Instead of living in peace and happiness, the Children of Israel
lived in constant fear of their lives and in endless battles with their
enemies, all because they chose to worship false gods and abandon the GOD of
Israel, the GOD of their fathers. Nevertheless, GOD’s Promises and Rewards
still stand and await us if we will remain steadfast and diligent in returning
to HIM according to HIS Ways of Righteousness and call only upon HIM.
“Wherefore
ye shall do my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them; and ye shall dwell
in the land in safety. And the land shall yield her fruit, and he shall eat
your fill, and dwell therein in safety.” Leviticus 25:18,19
“Oh how
great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which
thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men!” Psalm 31:19
“My mouth
shall shew forth thy righteousness and thy salvation all the day; for I know not the
numbers thereof.” Psalm 71:15
“The LORD
hath made known his salvation: his righteousness hath he openly shewed in the
sight of the heathen.” Psalm 98:2
“And the people
shall take them, and bring them to their place: and the house of Israel shall
possess them in the land of the LORD for servants and handmaids: and they
shall take them captives, whose captives they were; and they shall rule over
their oppressors. And it shall come to pass in the day that the LORD shall give
thee rest from thy sorrow, and from thy fear, and from the hard bondage wherein
thou wast made to serve,” Isaiah 14:2,3
“For thus saith
the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be
saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not.”
Isaiah 30:15
“Thus saith the
LORD; A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter weeping; Rahel
weeping for her children refused to be comforted for her children, because they
were not. Thus saith the LORD; Refrain thy voice from weeping, and thine
eyes from tears: for thy work shall be rewarded, saith the LORD; and they shall
come again from the land of the enemy. And there is hope in thine end, saith
the LORD, that thy children shall come again to their own border.” Jeremiah
31:15 - 17
“But Israel
shall be saved in the LORD with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be
ashamed nor confounded world without end.” Isaiah 45:17
“I bring
near my righteousness; it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not
tarry: and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel my glory.” Isaiah 46:13
“Hearken
unto me, my people; and give ear unto me, O my nation: for a law shall proceed
from me, and I will make my judgment to rest for a light of the people. My righteousness is
near; my salvation is gone forth, and mine arms shall judge the people; the
isles shall wait upon me, and on mine arm shall they trust.” Isaiah 51:4,5
“And the sons
of strangers shall build up thy walls, and their kings shall minister unto
thee: for in my wrath I smote thee, but in my favour have I had mercy on thee.
“Whereas thou
hast been forsaken and hated, so that no man went through thee, I will make
thee an eternal excellency, a joy of many generations.” Isaiah 60:10,15
“For since
the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear,
neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him
that waiteth for him.” Isaiah 64:4
“Declare this
in the house of Jacob, and publish it in Judah, saying, Hear now this, O
foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which
have ears, and hear not: Fear ye not me? saith the LORD: will ye not tremble at
my presence, which have placed the sand for the bound of the sea by a
perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it: and though the waves thereof toss
themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass
over it? But this people hath a revolting and a rebellious heart; they are
revolted and gone. Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear the LORD
our God, that giveth rain, both the former and the latter, in his season: he
reserveth unto us the appointed weeks of the harvest. Your iniquities have
turned away these things, and your sins have withholden good things from you.” Jeremiah
5:20 – 25
“Thus saith
the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is
the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they
said, We will not walk therein.” Jeremiah 6:16
“And I will
gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them,
and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and
increase. And I will set up shepherds over them which shall feed them: and they
shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith the
LORD. Behold,
the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch,
and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in
the earth. In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and
this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.
Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that they shall no more say,
The LORD liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of
Egypt; But, The LORD liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the
house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had
driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land.” Jeremiah 23:3 - 8
“For I know the
thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of
evil, to give you an expected end. Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall
go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. And ye shall seek me, and
find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. And I will be found
of you, saith the LORD: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather
you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you,
saith the LORD; and I will bring you again into the place whence I caused you
to be carried away captive.” Jeremiah 29:11 – 14
“Therefore
fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, saith the LORD; neither be dismayed, O
Israel: for, lo, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of
their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be in rest, and be quiet,
and none shall make him afraid. For I am with thee, saith the LORD, to save
thee: though I make a full end of all nations whither I have scattered thee,
yet will I not make a full end of thee: but I will correct thee in measure, and
will not leave thee altogether unpunished.” Jeremiah 30:10,11
“Thus saith the
LORD, The people which were left of the sword found grace in the
wilderness; even Israel, when I went to cause him to rest. The LORD hath
appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an
everlasting love: therefore with loving kindness have I drawn thee. Again I
will build thee, and thou shalt be built, O virgin of Israel: thou shalt again
be adorned with thy tabrets, and shalt go forth in the dances of them that make
merry.” Jeremiah 31:2 - 4
“Behold, I
will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the coasts of the earth, and
with them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her that travaileth
with child together: a great company shall return thither. They shall come with
weeping, and with supplications will I lead them: I will cause them to walk by
the rivers of waters in a straight way, wherein they shall not stumble: for I
am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn. Hear the word of the LORD,
O ye nations, and declare it in the isles afar off, and say, He that scattered
Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd doth his flock. For the
LORD hath redeemed Jacob, and ransomed him from the hand of him that was
stronger than he.” Jeremiah 31:8 - 11
“Behold, the
days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of
Israel, and with the house of Judah: Not according to the covenant that I made
with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of
the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto
them, saith the LORD: But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the
house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their
inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they
shall be my people. And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour,
and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from
the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD; for I will forgive
their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.” Jeremiah 31:31 – 34
“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:” Jeremiah 32:37,38
“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.” Jeremiah 32:40 – 42
“And I will
cause the captivity of Judah and the captivity of Israel to return, and will
build them, as at the first. And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity,
whereby they have sinned against me; and I will pardon all their iniquities,
whereby they have sinned, and whereby they have transgressed against me.
“The voice
of joy, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the
bride, the voice of them that shall say, Praise the LORD of hosts: for the LORD
is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: and of them that
shall bring the sacrifice of praise into the house of the LORD. For I will
cause to return the captivity of the land, as at the first, saith the LORD.”
Jeremiah 33:7,8,11
“Behold, the
days come, saith the LORD, that I will perform that good thing which I have
promised unto the house of Israel and to the house of Judah.” Jeremiah 33:14
Christians
should know that it was the CREATOR GOD of Israel that made these PROMISES to
Abraham, Isaiah, and Jacob to establish their SEED in the Land of Canaan, which
HE did, but scattered them from the Land because they forsook HIM and HIS
Righteous Laws of Life. However, we can see from GOD’s WORD to HIS Prophet
Jeremiah, that HE will also forgive the Israelites for their sins, gather them,
and fulfill HIS Promises to the Patriarchs of the Children of Israel. Given
that the GOD of Israel has the Land of Israel still stand as Witness to
Israelite habitation, then, we must believe that HE will also keep HIS Promises
to forgive, to save, and to cause Israel’s RETURN. Obviously, ONLY HE has the
Power to SCATTER us from the Land and inflict upon the entire Nation of Israel
captivity, suffering, discrimination, mourning, sorrows, and the misery that we
have endured for millennia.
“And it
shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him,
and he will save us: this isthe LORD; we have waited for him, we will be
glad and rejoice in his salvation.” Isaiah 25:9
“For the
LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is
our king; he will save us.” Isaiah 33:22
“In those
days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up
unto David; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land. In
those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely: and this is
the name wherewith she shall be called, The LORD our righteousness.” Jeremiah 33:15,16
“But fear not
thou, O my servant Jacob, and be not dismayed, O Israel: for, behold, I will
save thee from afar off, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and
Jacob shall return, and be in rest and at ease, and none shall make him
afraid.” Jeremiah 46:27
“Thus saith
the Lord GOD; When I shall have gathered the house of Israel from the people among whom
they are scattered, and shall be sanctified in them in the sight of the
heathen, then shall they dwell in their land that I have given to my servant
Jacob. And they shall dwell safely therein, and shall build houses, and plant
vineyards; yea, they shall dwell with confidence, when I have executed
judgments upon all those that despise them round about them; and they shall
know that I am the LORD their God.” Ezekiel 28:25,26
“And I will
multiply upon you man and beast; and they shall increase and bring fruit: and I
will settle you after your old estates, and will do better unto you than at
your beginnings: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.” Ezekiel 36:11
“Therefore I
will look unto the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will
hear me.” Micah 7:7
“According to the days of thy coming out of the land of Egypt will I shew
unto him marvellous things.” Micah 7:15
“Behold, at
that time I will undo all that afflict thee: and I will save her that halteth,
and gather her that was driven out; and I will get them praise and fame in
every land where they have been put to shame.” Zephaniah 3:19
Since JC has
not proven himself, why not give the CREATOR GOD a chance to Bless us, this
time instead of putting curses upon us that literally made us the scum of the
Earth.
KEEPING GOD’s LAW ENTAILS FEARING HIM WITH A PASSION TO LOVE HIM AND HAVING
IT NO OTHER WAY:
Unfortunately,
too many Israelites do not understand how necessary it is to FEAR the Holy ONE
of Israel. Just think about the times when we were children and under our parents
jurisdiction. If our dads said do something, and we didn’t, then afterwards we
knew our behinds were in trouble. However, if we feared our parents that they
would indeed punish us, well, then in most cases, we adhered to their word. It
is the same with the GOD of Israel. If we truly FEAR HIM and TREMBLE at HIS
WORD, we will take heed to live according to the LAW that HE gave to Moses in
the Wilderness for Israel’s Walk of Life to do FOREVER. And since we can see
how HE has punished us because of the sins of our forefathers, then we should
know in our hearts that we must be obedient if we are to one day enjoy GOD’s
Peace and Stability on HIS Earth.
“Now these
are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD your God
commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go to
possess it: That thou mightest fear the LORD thy God, to keep all his statutes
and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's
son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged.” Deuteronomy 6:1,2
“And thou
shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and
with all thy might. And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in
thine heart: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt
talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the
way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.” Deuteronomy 6:5 – 7
“Therefore
thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and
to fear him.” Deuteronomy 8:6
“Ye shall
walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey
his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him.” Deuteronomy 13:4
“For it is
not a vain thing for you; because it is your life: and through this thing ye shall
prolong your days in the land, whither ye go over Jordan to possess it.”
Deuteronomy 32:47
“But I will
hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more. My mouth shall shew
forth thy righteousness and thy salvation all the day; for I know not
the numbers thereof. I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will
make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only.” Psalm 71:14 - 16
“Enter into the
rock, and hide thee in the dust, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his
majesty. The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men
shall be bowed down, and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.” Isaiah
2:10,11
“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:” Isaiah 11:1 – 3
“Give glory
to the LORD your God, before he cause darkness, and before your feet stumble
upon the dark mountains, and, while ye look for light, he turn it into the
shadow of death, and make it gross darkness.” Jeremiah 13:16
“I the LORD
search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and
according to the fruit of his doings.” Jeremiah 17:10
When we are
obedient and embrace GOD’s Righteous LAW, HE is with us, and directs our way.
“Say ye to
the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of
their doings. Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands
shall be given him.” Isaiah 3:10,11
When we are NOT
obedient, HE puts stumbling blocks before us with a twist of negativity in our
lives, specifically to make us realize that something is not right. And under
these circumstances, Our GOD is telling us, ”Now find out what it is you’re
doing wrong and return to My Ways and not your acknowledgements.”
“Ye shall
not do after all the things that we do here this day, every man whatsoever is
right in his own eyes.” Deuteronomy 12:8
When we
THINK that it is all right to travel (by car, bus, or foot) and gather on GOD’s Seventh
Day, even if it is to Praise GOD on HIS Holy Day of Complete REST, and we know
that HE Commanded the Children of Israel to stay in our places on the Seventh
Day (Exodus 16:29) and be refreshed, we err. Reason being, NO ONE
traveled to Jerusalem to worship on GOD’s Holy Seventh Day Sabbath, and no one
can find where they did. When we say, “Let’s go sacrifice to the GOD of Israel,
when only the Priests are authorized to perform this service, no matter that we
imagine that it’s all good to give Glory to Our GOD of Israel, then we err. Some
things might seem appropriate to do, but is it LAW and precisely what Our GOD
of Israel has Commanded of us? WE MUST FOLLOW THE LAW AS IT IS WRITTEN AND NOT
ALTER IT TO JUSTIFY OUR IDEALS, for this is the only way our doings will be
rewarded.
It is so easy
to follow a map to get to a destination or follow a recipe if we want a delicious
cake. Likewise when we follow GOD’s LAW, as it is written, Our Loving GOD of
Israel will not let us falter. HE will guide us and lead us in the way that we
must go. Also, when we decide to follow GOD’s Perfect LAW, we should realize
that it is unwise to alter it in any way, since we are well aware of its
excellence and the goodness it manifests for us. And because some of us do
embrace GOD’s Book of the Law and the wisdom therein, we should understand
perfectly that there is no reason to debate it, but rather live and do it as it
is written. If our forefathers under Moses and the other Prophets did not do
what we imagine and profess these days, then for what reason do we want to
start something new? GOD’s WORD is precise, perfectly clear, and well written.
And if we take note, we will see how all GOD’s Righteous Prophets reiterate the
same LAW throughout the Hebrew Scriptures and even make mention that it must
be kept according to how and when it was given to the Nation of Israel at the
hands of Moses.
My people,
we are about to go into the Wilderness, and if we do not want to be purged by
the Hand of Our All-Mighty GOD of Israel and never enter the Land of Israel,
then we must seek GOD’s LAW that HE gave to HIS Servant and Prophet Moses to
put it in our hearts and live it as it is written simply because this is our
last shot!
We desperately
need to make an Oath to live according to GOD’s LAW, as Moses presented it and
mean it and abandon ways that we feel GOD‘s LAW should be kept. We cannot just
uphold this Righteous LAW when it suits our purpose. We must learn GOD’s LAW
and LIVE IT, as it was presented to GOD’s Servant and Prophet Moses and as he
taught it to the Children of Israel. Not only did the GOD of Israel present
HIS Righteous LAW before our forefathers, but HE has DETAILED in the Hebrew
Scriptures exactly how they MUST BE OBSERVED. For example, we have knowledge of
exactly how we are Commanded to keep GOD’s Holy Seventh Day Sabbath. Therefore,
we cannot assume to keep it in any other manner than at “Complete REST” in
order that we be “REFRESHED“, as it is written in GOD‘s LAW. We know the
consequences of fulfilling our imaginations and altering GOD’s LAW, and we know
that we are in the lands of our enemies because our forefathers would not adhere
to the Laws, Statutes, and Judgments of the GOD of Israel. Therefore, let us
resign ourselves to be obedient and return to Our Holy ONE of Israel in order
that we prove ourselves worthy to represent HIM before the world to show forth
HIS PRAISE in Truth and in Righteousness.
For this
reason, those who are on “THE LORD‘s SIDE”, must stand up, for there is hope
for us if we will seek Our GOD of Israel together to be obedient to HIS Voice.
Let us always remember that it is given to the Nation of Israel to enlighten
the Peoples of the world who will be left after the “Day of the LORD‘s Wrath”.
For when they learn the GOD’s Truth, they will make efforts to go to Jerusalem
to worship HIM to verify that the GOD of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is indeed
the ONE True and Living GOD. We can only be on “THE LORD’s SIDE” if we will
Glory, Praise, and Magnify the CREATOR GOD of Israel and keep HIS Righteous LAW
with our whole heart, soul, and might.
“And the LORD said unto Moses, Come up to me into
the mount, and be there: and I will give thee tables of stone, and a law,
and commandments which I have written; that thou mayest teach them.”
Exodus 24:12
“The secret things belong unto the LORD our
God:
but those things which are revealed belong
unto us and to our children for ever,
that we may do all the words of this law.”
Deuteronomy 29:29
“…O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace
day nor night: ye that make mention of the LORD, keep not silence,
And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise
in the earth.
The LORD hath sworn by his right hand, and by the
arm of his strength,
Surely I will no more give thy corn to be meat for
thine enemies;
and the sons of the stranger shall not drink thy
wine, for the which thou hast laboured:
But they that have gathered it shall eat it, and praise the LORD;
and they that have brought it together shall drink
it in the courts of my holiness.”
Isaiah 62:6 – 9
“That led them by the right hand of Moses with his
glorious arm,
dividing the water before them, to make himself
an everlasting name?
That led them through the deep, as an horse in the wilderness, that they should
not stumble?
As a beast goeth down into the valley, the Spirit of the LORD caused him to
rest:
so didst thou lead thy people, to make thyself a
glorious name.”
Isaiah 63:12 – 14
“For as the girdle cleaveth to the loins of a man,
so have I caused to cleave unto me the whole house
of Israel
and the whole house of Judah, saith the LORD;
that they might be unto me for a people, and for a
name, and for a praise, and for a glory:
but they would not hear.”
Jeremiah 13:11
“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

“I will go and return to my place, till they
acknowledge their offence, and seek my face:
in their affliction they will seek me early.”
Hosea 5:15

“Whereas thou hast been forsaken and hated, so that
no man went through thee,
I will make thee an eternal excellency, a joy of
many generations.
Thou shalt also suck the milk of the Gentiles, and
shalt suck the breast of kings:
and thou shalt know that
I the LORD am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer,
the mighty One of Jacob.
For brass I will bring gold, and for iron I will
bring silver, and for wood brass,
and for stones iron: I will also make thy officers
peace,
and thine exactors righteousness.
Violence shall no more be heard in thy land,
wasting nor destruction within thy borders; but thou shalt call thy walls
Salvation, and thy gates Praise.
The sun shall be no more thy light by day;
neither for brightness shall the moon give light
unto thee:
but the LORD shall be unto thee an everlasting
light, and thy God thy glory.
Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy
moon withdraw itself:
for the LORD shall be thine everlasting light,
and the days of thy mourning shall be ended.
Thy people also shall be all righteous: they
shall inherit the land for ever,
the branch of my planting, the work of my hands,
that I may be glorified.
A little one shall become a thousand, and a small
one a strong nation:
I the LORD will hasten it in his time.”

THE SOAPBOX SPEAKS:
GOD’s WORD ON A SECOND EXODUS
AND
A SECOND WILDERNESS
Can it be that
some of us TORAH Based Israelites who boast being descendants of Abraham,
Isaac, and Jacob are getting cold feet when it comes to fulfilling the WORD of
the GOD of Israel?
“And it
shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the
second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from
Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and
from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.
And he shall
set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel,
and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.” Isaiah 11:11,12
“And I will
bring you out from the people, and will gather you out of the countries wherein
ye are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with
fury poured out.
And I
will bring you into the wilderness of the people, and there will I plead
with you face to face.
Like as I
pleaded with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I
plead with you, saith the Lord GOD.
And I will
cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the
covenant:
And I will
purge out from among you the rebels, and them that transgress against me: I
will bring them forth out of the country where they sojourn, and they shall not
enter into the land of Israel: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.” Ezekiel 20:34 - 38
NO, you aren‘t
getting cold feet? GOOD! Then, let’s talk and discuss this most important
matter. Keep informed via thelawkeepers@yahoogroups.com.
*****
THE SMOKESCREEN
We can assume
the Universe was established by a “Big Bang,” or we can seek a more intelligent
theory.
The more
intelligent reasoning is that a Supreme Being did in fact Create the Heavens,
Earth, and all things therein. Then the issue becomes, “Did this Supreme Being
intend for HIS CREATION to exist in such a chaotic state of absolute Hell, as
it is now?” If not, then it is incumbent upon us to seek answers for the
present horrific state of affairs in the Land of Israel and the rest of the
Middle East that is capable of spreading to other countries even to the United
States.
It is not
likely that this Supreme Being did not advise the people of HIS Creation IN THE
BEGINNING of how to live in goodness and in peace with each other, which
certainly entailed how to worship HIM for giving them life. For there not to
exist harmony and happiness on this Earth, it is evident that from the looks of
things and from the ever-present catastrophic events taking place on Earth,
this Supreme Being is furious with the peoples HE Created.
This is
where we are now. The CREATOR is Judging the peoples of HIS Creation and is
taking back HIS Universe.
History proves
that Jerusalem is the Holy City of the GOD of Israel, that the Israelites are
HIS Chosen, Covenant People, and that the Land of Israel belongs to HIM, as
well. So, why all the attention given to this area of the world that is proving
to be the catalyst leading to the end of this present world system?
The
Palestinians have been in the land since the reign of King Saul, and the
European Israelis have been a State since 1948, opening their doors to other
converted Europeans and whomsoever else wishing to take part in this Talmudic
process and live off the fat of GOD’s Holy Land. The Palestinians and the
Israelis have been at war ever since. If these two groups can live together
anywhere in the world except in Israel, then there must be a very good reason
why. However, the reason is not one that Israelis desire to make public.
Israeli hatred of the Arabs is not at all the issue. There exists a more
profound reason than that. Finger pointing at the Arabs is but the
ubiquitous smokescreen presented to the world.
THE TRUTH
ABOUT CONVERSION TO SO-CALLED “JUDAISM”
The world
should connect the dots and learn the truth regarding the Europeans who control
GOD’s Holy Land. There is no way the GOD of Israel will accept a conversion
process that changes Europeans, Americans, and Middle Easterners into “Jews.”
GOD’s Covenant is with Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and their SEED. Accordingly, how
can we dismiss the fact that Abraham was called out of Ur of the Chaldeans –
NOT out of Europe. GOD well knows HIS Chosen People, no matter that HE took
their identity from them and cast them from HIS Land.
And their
being scattered into the “Four Corners of the Earth” to serve their enemies has
everything to do with the problems in the Middle East, as this crisis relates to
the CREATOR GOD taking back HIS Universe, HIS Holy Land, HIS Holy City, and HIS
Chosen People. The Israelis know this. They see the handwriting on the wall,
but they are fighting the CREATOR GOD tooth and nail. That’s what this war is
all about - Israeli control - to keep out the SEED of Jacob whom GOD is calling
home. Hence, the Israelis, even if time permitted, would not give the
Palestinians their State for fear the Israelites would seek to live there also.
And just for the record, one can learn about the true identity of the
descendants of Jacob by reading what the CREATOR GOD of Israel said would
befall them in Leviticus 26th and Deuteronomy 28th
Chapters.
The Israelis
have a rabid requirement to control all the Land of Israel including the
Palestinian territories for one reason and for one reason only, which has
everything to do with their “Law of Return.” The Israelis and their
Rabbinute (their religious party) are ever aware that the CREATOR GOD of Israel
has a Covenant People – The Twelve Tribes of Jacob, and they know that
according to Biblical Prophecy the CREATOR GOD of the Land of Israel and this
Universe will restore HIS Chosen People to their heritage. For obvious reasons,
in no way do the Israelis (European converts to what’s called “Judaism,” which
is of their own making) want this to happen, for then they will no longer have
control of the Land of Israel at all. However, they know their days are numbered.
“Therefore
thus saith the Lord GOD; I have lifted up mine hand, Surely the heathen that
are about you, they shall bear their shame. But ye, O mountains of Israel, ye
shall shoot forth your branches, and yield your fruit to my people of Israel; for
they are at hand to come. For, behold, I am for you, and I will turn unto you,
and ye shall be tilled and sown: And I will multiply men upon you, all the
house of Israel, even all of it: and the cities shall be inhabited, and the
wastes shall be builded:”
Ezekiel 36:7 –
10
Now, the
Truth is out. This is the reason for the decades of turmoil, death, and
destruction over GOD’s Holy Land. And of a Truth, the Israeli powers-that-be have no
qualms about their dilemma. They are prepared to fight to the end, but who are
they really fighting? It all has to do with what prophecy foretells, and what
must be fulfilled.
Conversely,
Israelis are putting too much false hope in their military powers. When it
comes to the Children of Israel, the CREATOR GOD fights their battles, and
since it is time for their return, there is nothing Israeli’ weaponry can do to
stop GOD’s Commandment from manifesting.
The Israelites
were formed to show forth GOD’s Praise and to be a light to the world for HIS
Ways of Righteousness – HIS Book of the Law (the teachings of the Prophet Moses
– NOT the Talmud compiled by European “Jews”).
“Thus saith
God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that
spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath
unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein: I the LORD have
called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and
give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;”
Isaiah 42:5,6
“This people
have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise.” Isaiah 43:21
And it is for
this reason the Supreme Being, or rather the CREATOR GOD of Israel is taking
back HIS magnificent Universe and making it a place of Divine Peace, one that
Exalts and Magnifies HIM for all HIS Wondrous Works.
The CREATOR GOD
has held HIS Peace for a very long time, all because of the curses HE put on
HIS Chosen People for forsaking HIM for false gods and for rejecting HIS LAW.
Their rebellion caused GOD to cast HIS People into the hands of the heathen,
and HE went into seclusion permitting Gentiles to run the world and teach HIS
People a lesson that would send them running back to HIM seeking forgiveness
with contrite spirits.
“I have long
time holden my peace; I have been still, and refrained myself: now will I cry
like a travailing woman; I will destroy and devour at once.” Isaiah 42:14
For a long time
people believed that the European “Jews” were really the people of the Bible,
but the CREATOR knows HIS Chosen People, the SEED of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob,
the men with whom HE made an Everlasting Covenant (Genesis 17:1 – 21).
From the Slave
Trade to world hatred, and enduring racism and discrimination all over the
world, Blacks have suffered at the hands of those who ruled over them. But now,
the CREATOR GOD of Israel is awakening the Dry Bones and calling HIS People
home to the chagrin and utter dismay of European Israelis who are helpless to
do anything about it but who still have plans to thwart the WORD of GOD. Trust
me, their efforts will not end in victory, and nothing since 1948 has even
given them hope that they could take the place of the SEED of Jacob/Israel
(Genesis 32:28) – neither by conversion nor submersion.
Thus, the
reasons for the war for Israeli control of GOD’s Land and the reasons for a
world of troubled times, disasters, endless suffering, despair, and many, many
tears.
The CREATOR
is taking back HIS Universe and keeping HIS Everlasting Promises to Abraham,
Isaac, and Jacob, the Patriarchs of the Nation of Israel.
“And it
shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and such as are
escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again stay upon him that smote
them; but shall stay upon the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth. The
remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God. For
though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall
return: the consumption decreed shall overflow with righteousness.” Isaiah 10:20 - 22
“And it
shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the
second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from
Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and
from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.” Isaiah 11:11
“And I will
put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall
keep my judgments, and do them.” Ezekiel 36:27
“For as the
new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith
the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain.” Isaiah 66:22
“Thus saith
the LORD; Behold, I will bring again the captivity of Jacob's tents, and have
mercy on his dwellingplaces; and the city shall be builded upon her own heap,
and the palace shall remain after the manner thereof. And out of them shall
proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry: and I will multiply
them, and they shall not be few; I will also glorify them, and they shall not
be small. Their children also shall be as aforetime, and their congregation
shall be established before me, and I will punish all that oppress them. And
their nobles shall be of themselves, and their governor shall proceed from the
midst of them; and I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach unto
me: for who is this that engaged his heart to approach unto me? saith the
LORD.”
Jeremiah 30:18
– 21
“At the same
time, saith the LORD, will I be the God of all the families of Israel, and they
shall be my people. Thus saith the LORD, The people which were left of the
sword found grace in the wilderness; even Israel, when I went to cause him to
rest. The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee
with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.
Again I will build thee, and thou shalt be built, O virgin of Israel: thou
shalt again be adorned with thy tabrets, and shalt go forth in the dances of
them that make merry. Thou shalt yet plant vines upon the mountains of Samaria:
the planters shall plant, and shall eat them as common things. For there shall
be a day, that the watchmen upon the mount Ephraim shall cry, Arise ye, and let
us go up to Zion unto the LORD our God. For thus saith the LORD; Sing with
gladness for Jacob, and shout among the chief of the nations: publish ye,
praise ye, and say, O LORD, save thy people, the remnant of Israel. Behold, I
will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the coasts of the
earth, and with them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her that
travaileth with child together: a great company shall return thither. They
shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them: I will cause
them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way, wherein they shall not
stumble: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn. Hear the
word of the LORD, O ye nations, and declare it in the isles afar off, and say,
He that scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd doth his
flock. For the LORD hath redeemed Jacob, and ransomed him from the hand of him
that was stronger than he. Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of
Zion, and shall flow together to the goodness of the LORD, for wheat, and for
wine, and for oil, and for the young of the flock and of the herd: and their
soul shall be as a watered garden; and they shall not sorrow any more at all.
Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, both young men and old together:
for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them
rejoice from their sorrow.” Jeremiah 31:1 – 13
“The remnant
of Israel shall not do iniquity, nor speak lies; neither shall a deceitful
tongue be found in their mouth: for they shall feed and lie down, and none
shall make them afraid.” Zephaniah 3:13
“Behold, at
that time I will undo all that afflict thee: and I will save her that halteth,
and gather her that was driven out; and I will get them praise and fame in
every land where they have been put to shame.” Zephaniah 3:19
And for all HIS
Creations, especially man, the ONE CREATOR GOD of Israel will be acknowledged
and worshipped by HIS Chosen People and all Nations remaining from HIS Wrath
and destruction of the wicked. The Peoples of this world will revolve around
its MAKER!
Yes, the
All-Mighty CREATOR will liberate HIS Holy Land and will return to HIS Holy City
Jerusalem, where once again HIS Holy Priests will minister before HIM and where
people of all Nations will visit to Bless HIM for HIS GOODNESS and for HIS Holy
Name’s Sake.
“And it
shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to
another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD.” Isaiah 66:23
“And it
shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came
against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the
LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.” Zechariah 14:16
FINALLY:
“Seek ye the
LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek
righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the
LORD's anger.” Zephaniah 2:3
WHAT IS THE
RIGHTEOUSNESS OF THE CREATOR GOD?
“And it
shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before
the LORD our God, as he hath commanded us.” Deuteronomy 6:25
“When all
Israel is come to appear before the LORD thy God in the place which he shall
choose, thou shalt read this law before all Israel in their hearing. Gather the
people together, men and women, and children, and thy stranger that is within
thy gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear the LORD your
God, and observe to do all the words of this law: And that their children,
which have not known any thing, may hear, and learn to fear the LORD your God,
as long as ye live in the land whither ye go over Jordan to possess it.” Deuteronomy 31:11 - 13
The fulfillment
of the above passage is just a matter of time.

What in the world is happening?
As people watch

volcanic eruptions, destructive fires, famine, and incurable diseases, they can
only ask, “Will my loved ones and I be spared?”
As people sit

As people raise

[I am too
pleased to add the following list of more enlightening books presented by our
dear Sister Naami baht Lewi. By all means, please indulge and be the wiser.
T.Y., Editor]
1. Breaking
the Chains of Psychological Slavery by Na'im Akbar (a very short book, but
it's chock full of good, good stuff);
2. Africans
and Their History by Dr. Joseph E. Harris (the book is not a big book
either and there's even a paperback edition. Yet, it is one of the most
comprehensive and easy-to-follow books on Africa that I've read);
3. Post
Traumatic Slave Syndrome by Dr. Joy Learey (in my opinion, this sister,
even without an Israelite perspective, has produced the definitive work on
explaining some of our behaviors, thought patterns, etc. She also offers some
practical solutions that can be adopted and are even more applicable because we
know the origin of our pathological behavior);
4. Capitalism
and Slavery by Eric Williams (even though Dr. Williams speaks mainly about
West Indian slavery, he offers a comprehensive perspective as to why we should
not embrace our oppressors - particularly when we understand what they have
done to us and their mindset on the whole institution).
5. Holy
Land, Whose Land?: Modern Dilemma, Ancient Roots by Dorothy Drummond (she
offers an interesting perspective on the question and she offers both the
scientific and historical explanations as to why this is so);
6. The
Woman's Encyclopedia of Myths and Secrets by Barbara G. Walker. This is a
great reference book for explaining many of the pagan origins of beliefs,
practices, etc.
7. The
Penguin Dictionary of Religions, edited by John R. Hinnells;
8. The
Penguin Dictionary of Symbols, by Jean Chevalier and Alain Gheerbrant;
Both of these reference books offer a wealth of information as to the origin or
certain religious beliefs, how these beliefs were founded, and how various
symbols are derived from paganism, etc.
9. Anything by
the late Dr. Amos N. Wilson, particularly the following: The
Developmental Psychology of the Black Child; Awakening the Natural
Genius of Black Children; & The Falsification of Afrikan
Consciousness.
NOTE: Dr.
Wilson was an inspired, if sometimes soporific lecturer, although his lectures
were mainly delivered in the vernacular of the common man. His books are
written is some common language that is easily comprehensible, while also
including language that may be difficult for some to follow (i.e., written in
academic language). However, folks who are good and/or avid readers will gain a
lot from his work.
10. The
Hidden History of New York: A guide for Black Folks by Tingba Apidta, the
3rd in a series of The Reclamation Project, Boston, MA. (This book is for those
who mistakenly believe that slavery and Jim Crow were Southern U.S. phenomena.)
11. African
Perspective on Colonialism by A. Adu Boahen (An African's view of his
continent's conquerors. Very interesting and informative.)
12. *The Jew and the Christian Missionary: A Jewish
Response to Missionary Christianity" by Gerald Segal, KTAV Publishing
House, Inc., NY, 1981.
*Please note that this
book may be completely out of print. When I ordered mine on amazon.com a few
years ago, (The Strand and other out-of-print publishers did not have a copy)
it cost me $53 (other copies were being sold for as high as $250!). A
congregation might want to track this publication down and pay for a copy and
then distribute without charge, copies of sections, citing the source, of
course. This way, they don't infringe on copyright laws. It is one of those
remarkable books that once acquired, you don't let out6 of your possession.
13. The
Christ Conspiracy: The Greatest Story Ever Sold by Acharya S.
14. Gospel
Fictions by Randel Helms; and last but not least,
15. Don't
forget that our brother, Moreh Aesh of Baltimore, produces a long list of
pamphlets, essays, etc. explaining much to Israelites, including the debunking
of christianity and islam, under his Zaqen Publications. You can view
the publications available by logging on to www.zaqen.info.
Hope this list is useful. Sorry about its length, although I could have added
some more. But you know, "the reading of many books......"

A SPECIAL REPORT ON THE “KOY”
TAKE DILIGENT HEED…
“…take diligent heed to do the commandment and the
law,
which Moses the servant of the LORD charged you, to
love the LORD your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his
commandments,
and to cleave unto him,
and to serve him with all your heart and with all
your soul.”
Joshua 22:5
June 19, 2006
What exactly
does the GOD of Israel mean when HE Commands us to take diligent heed to do HIS
Commandments and HIS LAW?
IN THAT…
“I call
heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you
life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and
thy seed may live: That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest
obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and
the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD sware
unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.” Deuteronomy 30:19,20
AND…
“And he said
unto them, Set your hearts unto all the words which I testify among you this
day, which ye shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of
this law. For it is not a vain thing for you; because it is your life: and
through this thing ye shall prolong your days in the land, whither ye go over
Jordan to possess it.” Deuteronomy 32:46,47
I would
think that to take diligent heed means to be extremely cautious to keep GOD’s
LAW, read and study it, DO IT, and pray to the GOD of Israel for wisdom to
understand it. And in addition to that common sense would be to either join with others
so determined or be alone in returning back to the Holy ONE and what’s required
of the SEED of Jacob.
This might seem
ever so trivial a detail to some, but it means a world to the GOD of Israel.
You see, I used to belong to Ben Ammi’s group, and I left for many reasons, but
mainly because he was allowing people to call him JC and “Saviour” and because
he was not concerned about GOD’s LAW and much less about taking heed to live
and do it.
What truly,
truly disturbs me is that there are people encouraging Israelites to join up
with Ben Ammi and accept his title – “Messianic Leader,” as well as the
blasphemous notion that the True and Living GOD would have such a congregation
to represent HIM. Yes, of course the so-called “KOY” exists, but it does not
represent the GOD of Israel and HIS LAW, i.e., HIS Ways of Righteousness that
HE Commanded of the Prophet Moses to teach to the Nation of Israel. This group
does not in any way signify the Kingdom of YAH, and indeed it cannot in any way
portray GOD’s Righteous Kingdom.
The “KOY” is a
congregation of people calling themselves Israelites and living according to
the Laws of Ben Ammi and the imaginations of his contrary and devious heart.
The wise in the knowledge of Truth know that Ben Ammi’s camp, built on
corruption, crime, lust, adultery, and death, cannot in any way be connected
with the Holy ONE of Israel’s Divine and Righteous Kingdom or cannot be
established to receive the Remnant GOD said would return.
“The anger
of the LORD shall not return, until he have executed, and till he have
performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it
perfectly. I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to
them, yet they prophesied. But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused
my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil
way, and from the evil of their doings.” Jeremiah 23:20 – 22
“My people hath
been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray, they have
turned them away on the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, they
have forgotten their restingplace.” Jeremiah 50:6
Moreover, King
David’s Seed will head the CREATOR GOD’s Righteous Kingdom that will exist upon
this Earth, and he will know to be the perfect role model for living GOD’s LAW
in Righteousness.
I have never
read where Kings David and Solomon called themselves “Messiah.”
“And there
shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of
his roots: And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and
understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of
the fear of the LORD; And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of
the LORD: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove
after the hearing of his ears: But with righteousness shall he judge the poor,
and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth
with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the
wicked. And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness
the girdle of his reins.” Isaiah 11:1 – 5
“And in that
day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people;
to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.” Isaiah 11:10
And this
Righteous Kingdom will be all about serving, worshipping, and PRAISING the GOD
of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and about representing HIM and spreading HIS Laws,
Statutes, and Judgments throughout this world, in order that the CREATOR GOD of
Israel will be Magnified and will receive all the Praise and all the Glory, so
that people will abandon the “New Testament” and its theology. Have no doubts about it,
the son of David will rule from Jerusalem and the GOD of Heaven and Earth will
rule over all (Psalm 103:19).
I find nothing
in GOD’s WORD to support an existence of HIS Kingdom in Israel under the
control of Gentile Jews. Ben Ammi has deceived hundreds into believing this lie
that he is the Messianic leader of GOD’s Kingdom. How long are we going to
follow leaders who use GOD’s Holy Name in vain?!
Taking heed to
keep GOD’s LAW would entail staying as far from Ben Ammi as possible. And the
fact that HE keeps his stores open on GOD’s Holy Day of Complete REST is a darn
good red flag and eye-opener that shouts to stay away from this leader, as of a
Truth, he does not FEAR the GOD of Israel to do HIS Will. And what better
information exists from Our GOD to prove Ben Ammi to be one who defies the
All-Mighty GOD!
“To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word,
it is because there is no light in them.” Isaiah 8:20
This passage is
the best gauge Israelites have for determining and for understanding who to
accept as a genuine leader or know who FEARS the Holy ONE of Israel. If Ben
Ammi and the people of his camp defy the Most High GOD of Israel, then why join
with them, and why take part in their beliefs unfounded in GOD’s LAW and in
their disobedience?
“Blessed is
the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way
of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the
law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.” Psalm 1:1,2
“I have
hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked.” Psalm 26:5
“If I regard
iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:” Psalm 66:18
“Incline not
my heart to any evil thing, to practise wicked works with men that work
iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties.” Psalm 141:4
“Hear, O heavens,
and give ear, O earth: for the LORD hath spoken, I have nourished and
brought up children, and they have rebelled against me. The ox knoweth his
owner, and the ass his master's crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth
not consider. Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of
evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have
provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.”
Isaiah 1:2 - 4
Another perfect
incident that serves to explain why we cannot join with people who break GOD’s
LAW concerns Jehoshaphat and Ahziah. And does it ever speak VOLUMES!
“And after
this did Jehoshaphat king of Judah join himself with Ahaziah king of Israel,
who did very wickedly: And he joined himself with him to make ships to go to
Tarshish: and they made the ships in Eziongaber. Then Eliezer the son of
Dodavah of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, Because thou hast
joined thyself with Ahaziah, the LORD hath broken thy works. And the ships were
broken, that they were not able to go to Tarshish.” II Chronicles 20:35 – 37
Let’s not
pretend we don’t know about our past and how our stiffnecked and rebellious
forebears loved to be connected with evildoers and how they encouraged the
lawful to follow wickedness. At least admit to what THUS SAITH THE LORD!
At this late
day and in the time of Jacob’s Trouble, why would we even consider joining with
Ben Ammi or with anyone or with any congregation that does not make GOD’s LAW
the Paths of Righteousness to follow and walk? Our GOD of Israel promises us
that if we return to HIM and HIS LAW, that then we can return to our heritage
(Deuteronomy 30:1-4). If people will join with Ben Ammi, then for them GOD’s
Promise is made void.
“And ye
shall know that I am the LORD: for ye have not walked in my statutes, neither
executed my judgments, but have done after the manners of the heathen that are
round about you.” Ezekiel 11:12
“Why criest
thou for thine affliction? thy sorrow is incurable for the multitude of thine
iniquity: because thy sins were increased, I have done these things unto thee.” Jeremiah 30:15
“And hast given
them this land, which thou didst swear to their fathers to give them, a land
flowing with milk and honey; And they came in, and possessed it; but they
obeyed not thy voice, neither walked in thy law; they have done nothing of all
that thou commandedst them to do: therefore thou hast caused all this evil to
come upon them:” Jeremiah 32:22,23
What a crime!
Ben Ammi was among the blessed to return, but just like his rebellious
forefathers, he, too, refuses to be obedient to the LAWS of the GOD of Israel.
The WORD of the
GOD of Israel also condemns Ben Ammi for calling himself a “Messianic Leader”
in order to gather Israelites and Christians into his fold. But in no way does
he emulate the “Old Testament” men of GOD!
Was Moses,
Joshua, Samuel, the kings of Israel, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, or any of the
other Prophets who promoted GOD’s Book of the Law and who spoke “THUS SAITH THE
LORD” called a Messiah? Do we need this? Is this something required of us to
have before us?
I listened to a
Brother in Paltalk Chat go to extremes to contrive a justifiable explanation
for Ben Ammi calling himself a Messiah. The Truth of the matter is that this
word is not even connected with Hebrew-Israelite Culture. “Jews” and Christians
and the Book of Daniel and the “New Testament” are very much associated with
the word “Messiah,” but not the Israelites who wandered forty years in the
Wilderness and inhabited the Land of Israel. And if Moses was NOT given this
C.E. terminology to introduce to the Children of Israel, then there is no
reason for us to know about it at all. There isn’t even ANY information in this
Book of Daniel or in the “New Testament” that is essential for Israelites to
know and do – none at all. All that the GOD of Israel required of us to know
and do was given to HIS Servant Moses and is reiterated in the books of HIS
Prophets who utter “THUS SAITH THE LORD.” There is no “THUS SIAITH THE LORD” in
the Book of Daniel or in the “New Testament.” Both of these books were written
AFTER GOD scattered HIS Chosen People, Israel, from the land. That being the
case, this literature is suspect, and proof of this is the fact that the
Israelites were scattered to live in “Darkness” and to serve their enemies. So,
why would the Holy ONE give them any information about seventy weeks or seventy
years or seventy anything?
And even if
this information is for a time after the Israelites return, the information
still makes no sense. “And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one
week…” (Daniel 9:27). This verse contradicts what “THUS SAITH THE LORD” about
HIS Covenant in Jeremiah 31:31 – 34 and in Ezekiel 20:37. And not one of GOD’s
Prophets makes mention of this event in the Book of Daniel.
Just for the
record, “THUS SAITH THE LORD” is mentioned more than 400 times in the “Old
Testament” but not even once in the Book of Daniel or in the “New Testament.”
That’s no mistake. That’s for us to think logically and connect the dots! Therefore, when we
do the research concerning the year the Book of Daniel was probably written, we
will see that this Book of Daniel and the “New Testament” were written to
deceive Israelites, and, thus, we have no reason to accept the information in
either of these books as being GOD’s WORD.
GOD’s Covenants
– HIS LAW and HIS Promises, as well as the “New Covenant” spoken of in Jeremiah
31:31-34 - will resume upon our return to our heritage. And there is no other
WORD of GOD to have us believe that any one of these Covenants will be one
week. Actually, when you consider what’s written in Daniel 9:27, none of this
chapter makes any sense whatsoever.
“He hath
remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a thousand
generations. Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac; And
confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting
covenant:” Psalm 105:8 – 10
“Nevertheless
he regarded their affliction, when he heard their cry: And he
remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude
of his mercies.” Psalm 106:44,45
The Holy ONE of
Israel has not only remembered HIS Covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, but
HE has opened our eyes to the fact that WE ARE HIS PEOPLE, but unfortunately,
too many of us do not choose to do that which is necessary to stay in HIS good
graces.
Another serious
issue is that certain people credit Ben Ammi with moving Israelites to Liberia
and then on to Israel. The GOD of Israel did not say that Ben Ammi would
deliver HIS People. HE said that HE would, and when HE does, for sure HE
wants all the GLORY, every whit! HE got all the GLORY in the Israelite
Deliverance out of Egypt, and HE, unequivocally, will be Exalted AGAIN upon the
return of the Remnant of Israel that GOD promises HE WILL GATHER. To suggest or
even think for a moment that Ben Ammi deserves recognition for that which is
due to the Holy ONE of Israel leads me to believe that some of us, being
Israelites, have truly lost sight of what’s important to know and understand.
It would appear that the Holy ONE is again proving Israelites to determine who
will and who will not enter into HIS Glorious Kingdom.
And just
because people think Ben Ammi to be prosperous and have more than other
congregations is no reason to boast about the advancements he has made. When I
hear this, I am constantly reminded of the “green bay tree” in Psalms.
“Fret not
thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of
iniquity. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the
green herb. Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land,
and verily thou shalt be fed.” Psalm 37:1 – 3
“I have seen
the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree. Yet he
passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.
Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is
peace.” Psalm 37:35 - 37
“They that
trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches;
None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for
him:”
Psalm 49:6,7
“Except the
LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep
the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.” Psalm 127:1
It would
appear that people don’t yet get the full understanding of the above verse that
is loaded with Truth, conviction, and certainty. Time proves everything! The
Flood of Noah’s Day and the scattering of the Nation of Israel into the Four
Corners of the Earth are proven facts that the CREATOR GOD of Israel does not
tolerate people taking HIS Name in vain, disobedience of HIS LAW, and the
worship of false gods and even of man.
Ben Ammi is not
“perfect.” He, himself, said in 1996 that he is doing 60%. Thus, he isn’t even
close to being “the perfect man.” He is failing and falling fast! His works and
teachings speak volumes. We have history to probe for what “THUS SAITH THE
LORD” and for what required of us. AND we have read what has happened to
Israelites who stray from GOD’s LAW in order to establish their own direction.
We have book after book in the “Old Testament” that gives us all the
information we need concerning rebellious Israelites. We know what the GOD of
Israel did to them, and we know that HE has not changed HIS Ordinances one
iota, and that HE will NEVER change them. Hence, knowing all this, and knowing
what the GOD of Moses has said about HIS LAW and the consequences for not
keeping it (in Deuteronomy 28th Chapter), knowing that HE will
MAGNIFY HIS LAW and put it in our hearts, knowing that we were scattered for
not observing this Divine LAW, would Our GOD of Israel send such a leader as
Ben Ammi who has no regard for HIS LAW but rather for magnifying himself and a
bogus “KOY”? Perfect men of GOD do not grandstand and promote adverse
teachings. They vehemently stress doing the WORD of the GOD of Israel and with
“ONE” mindset.
Without
question, “the perfect man” FEARS the GOD of Israel to live and do HIS Book of
the Law. It is accepting GOD’s Righteousness and to live by it that is our
ticket into the CREATOR GOD of Israel’s Peaceful Kingdom. It is not Ben Ammi’s
veggie and no-salt diets. Ben Ammi is not concerned about GOD’s LAW, and
neither is the GOD of Israel in his thoughts. This “KOY” in Dimona is really
nothing more than the Kingdom of Ben Ammi, and he is no more the “Saviour” that
he is called than is the jc of the “New Testament.” Ben Ammi and the other
leaders in his Camp know exactly how to run their game, and those who they
beguile either know nothing of the GOD of Israel and HIS LAW, or they have
chosen to forget the GOD of Israel and HIS LAW and listen to and believe in a
man whose foundation is built on lies, corruption, and death. Therefore, I
caution everyone to be very cautious of what is believed, and the reason is
that if we CHOOSE to believe in wickedness, then GOD will help to encourage
that false belief.
“Hear, O
earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their
thoughts, because they have not hearkened unto my words, nor to my law, but
rejected it.”
Jeremiah 6:19
“Because
Ephraim hath made many altars to sin, altars shall be unto him to sin.” Hosea 8:11
What wills
Israelites to turn from the WORD of GOD? What force is there that can make
GOD’s Chosen People defy HIM? Never mind. I don’t think I want to know. In any
case, those who join with Ben Ammi should know that you give up your assets and
you are expected to conform to the expectations of the Camp, and you will
adhere to WILL adhere to their ways or be punished by beatings and losing your
flamboyant “title.” What a scam, the best since the advent of Christianity.
However, only the Holy ONE will prove them a fraud and with the Righteous
Remnant HE is calling – HIS Chosen Ones who have determined to serve and
worship ONLY HIM.
“And it
shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered:
for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said,
and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.” Joel 2:32
“For the
wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the LORD
abhorreth. The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek
after God: God is not in all his thoughts.” Psalm 10:3,4
“My soul
shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad. O
magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.” Psalm 34:2,3
“In God we
boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ever. Selah.” Psalm 44:8
Is this a time
for us to boast? Ben Ammi is subject to the will of Gentile Jews. Why is he
boasting, and why are others boasting for him? Is this not a time to turn to
the Most High GOD of Israel and boast of HIM and seek HIM for understanding IN
HIS LAW and in HIS WORD to HIS Prophets? Should we not thirst and hunger for
GOD’s Truth?
“All the
commandments which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye may
live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the LORD sware unto
your fathers. And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led
thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to
know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or
no. And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna,
which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee
know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth
out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.” Deuteronomy 8:3
Ezekiel speaks
about the Holy ONE of Israel gathering us and taking us into a SECOND
WILDERNESS. If Ben Ammi, or anyone for that matter, does not observe GOD’s Holy
Seventh Day of Complete REST, as it is written, will he not be purged, as the
GOD of Israel has said? Can it really be that the CREATOR GOD of the Heavens
and the Earth will allow Ben Ammi and his Camp to fast on HIS Holy Day and have
his restaurants open defying HIS Commandment? Come on, People! Who is fooling
whom?
“And I will
bring you out from the people, and will gather you out of the countries wherein
ye are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with
fury poured out. And I will bring you into the wilderness of the people, and
there will I plead with you face to face. Like as I pleaded with your fathers
in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I plead with you, saith the
Lord GOD. And I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into
the bond of the covenant: And I will purge out from among you the rebels, and
them that transgress against me: I will bring them forth out of the country
where they sojourn, and they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and ye
shall know that I am the LORD.” Ezekiel 20:34 – 38
Ironically,
from this passage, Ben Ammi will not enter into the very Kingdom he boasts.
“And he
spake unto the congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of
these wicked men, and touch nothing of their's, lest ye be consumed in all
their sins.” Numbers 16:26
“I have
hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked.” Psalm 26:5
Surely, we know
about Israelites who speak of the Holy ONE of Israel with their lips but have
hearts far from HIM. This is the case with all Israel who acknowledge the Holy
ONE of Israel but DO NOT live by HIS Book of the Law, as it is written.
“Deliver me
from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody men.” Isaiah 59:2
Some of us
might think it is all right to join with congregations that defy GOD’s LAW, but
this is wholly against doing what Thus Saith the LORD. The Holy ONE of Israel
is not impressed with the direction some of us have taken. First of all, we do
not need leaders. Our Merciful GOD has brought us out of darkness in revealing
to us our true identity and has made us know that we are more than just
descendants of Slaves. HE did this because of HIS Promises to Abraham, Isaac,
and Jacob and because we are HIS Chosen People. Wake up, Israel! We need Our
GOD, the Holy ONE of Israel. We can call upon HIM for direction, wisdom, and
understanding. That’s why HE is Our GOD. HE does not tell us to call upon HIM
for naught. HE did not say trust not in a friend for naught. HE did not say
that those who follow after evil leaders will be destroyed for naught (Isaiah
9:16). Our GOD has always wanted to be the center of our lives and of our
world. And if we are obedient and will devote our lives to HIM, HE will be our
LEADER, and for choosing HIM, we will not thirst or want for any good thing.
And at the designated time, HE promises to send us HIS Pastors. But until then,
trust in ONLY Our GOD of Israel and see HIS miraculous WORKS for those HE
loves!
People have
come forward with information on Ben Ammi, and the Brother promoting the
so-called “Keys to the Kingdom” is aware of this. I have also posted
information on Ben Ammi and his camp to the LawKeepers Forum. And if people
will still join with him, after learning about this useless kingdom, then they
certainly have no one but themselves to blame for whatever might befall them.
More importantly, those who will read this Message and will still seek to join
and be associated with the Ben Ammi Camp can’t say they didn’t know and
certainly won’t be able to plead ignorance. They can’t say their leaders are at
fault. They can’t say they believed in a Brother whom they thought knew what he
was talking about with some “Keys to the Kingdom.” And the reason they cannot
feign all these excuses is because all GOD’s warnings and counsel are written
in HIS LAW and in HIS WORD to HIS Prophets. “TAKE DILIGENT HEED…” Also,
HE provides knowledge to those who earnestly seek it. The Holy ONE of Israel is
a Most Merciful GOD and SAVIOR and has covered ALL bases, and HE has left out
nothing of significance for us to know and do. Our GOD of Israel has even left
us with HIS WORD and good reason why we should not trust in man.
“Put not
your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help. His
breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts
perish. Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in
the LORD his God: Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein
is: which keepeth truth for ever:” Psalm 146:3 - 6
“Trust ye
not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of thy mouth
from her that lieth in thy bosom.” Micah 7:5
I feel like
this: If I am going to fall by the wayside, it will not be because of following
some stiffnecked, grandstanding, rebellious Israelite leaders. In that respect,
I have learned what not to do very well and mainly from watching lawless
Israelites in Ben Ammi’s Camp and listening to him speak the imaginations of
his heart.
The Dry Bones
have a chance to live and serve and worship the Holy ONE of Israel, but only if
we will return to HIM (not to Ben Ammi) to FEAR ONLY HIM and be obedient
to the Ways of the CREATOR GOD of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. It has been more
than 2,500 years since we lost our heritage. And the only way we will return to
it is by looking to our SAVIOR, Our ONLY HELP.
With Ben Ammi there
is an arm of flesh; but with us is the LORD Our GOD to help us if we will only
let HIM. But we must take diligent heed to follow HIS Paths of Righteousness.
May Our Holy ONE of Israel bless the man courageous enough to speak HIS Truth
and stand up for HIS LAW, the ONLY True Path of Righteousness.
“Behold, the
eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;
To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine. Our soul
waiteth for the LORD: he is our help and our shield. For our heart shall
rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.” Psalm 33:18 – 21
“Give us
help from trouble: for vain is the help of man. Through God we shall do
valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.” Psalm 60:11,12
“Our help is
in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.” Psalm 124:8
Wake up,
Israel. It is a fact that Ben Ammi does not live by GOD’s LAW. This we know!
And since he doesn’t, the so-called KOY, under the leadership of Ben Ammi is
just another Messianic congregation in deep trouble with the GOD of Israel. As
for me, I shall serve the Most High GOD of Israel and strive to be perfect in
HIS LAW. And all those who FEAR the GOD of Israel will do likewise. Going home
in no way entails joining Ben Ammi’s congregation, and if this is what you
believe, then you are greatly deceived.
“In those
days, and in that time, saith the LORD, the children of Israel shall come, they
and the children of Judah together, going and weeping: they shall go, and seek
the LORD their God.” Jeremiah 50:4
“O thou that
art named the house of Jacob, is the spirit of the LORD straitened? are these
his doings? do not my words do good to him that walketh uprightly?”
Micah 2:7
“And many
nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the
LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and HE WILL TEACH US OF HIS WAYS,
and we will walk in his paths: for THE LAW SHALL GO FORTH OF ZION, AND THE WORD
OF THE LORD FROM JERUSALEM.” Micah 4:2 (Caps. are mine.)
WAKE UP,
ISRAEL! Our GOD is calling us, and HE is being very selective. HE is only
taking Israelites who will vow themselves to HIM and to HIS LAW. For that
reason, there will only be a “Remnant” to make it to GOD’s Kingdom – only a
Remnant.
“But know
that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear
when I call unto him. Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart
upon your bed, and be still. Selah. Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and
put your trust in the LORD.” Psalm 4:3 - 5
So, be
aware, and TAKE DILIGENT HEED. This is our last shot to be returned to our heritage.
“The soul
that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father,
neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the
righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon
him. But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and
keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely
live, he shall not die. All his transgressions that he hath committed, they
shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he
shall live. Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the
Lord GOD: and not that he should return from his ways, and live? But when
the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and
doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he
live? All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned: in his
trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them
shall he die.” Ezekiel 18:20 - 24
Thus, it is
most critical that GOD FEARING Israelites discern right from wrong and denounce
defiance and disobedience to GOD’s LAW.
“But the
mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him,
and his righteousness unto children's children; To such as keep his covenant,
and to those that remember his commandments to do them.” Psalm 103:17,18
And at the
same time we must embrace wisdom and knowledge and abide by it. Don’t waste
precious time on a NOTORIOUS leader who has no respect for the “SIGN” of GOD’s
Holy Seventh Day Sabbath of REST that binds us with Our GOD of Israel. The last
thing Israelites who seek the GOD of Israel need is to hear a philosophy
inconsistent with that of GOD’s Book of the Law.
What a shame to
have people’s stomachs growling from their hunger pains and incessantly
thinking of what they will eat when the Sabbath is ended, rather than thinking
about the Mercies of the SAVIOR GOD of Israel and giving Glory to HIM for
giving us a Blessed Day of REST. How do I know all this? I’ve been there and
done that! What a shame to have people not enjoying food on GOD’s Seventh Day
Sabbath and their giving in to blessed slumber and rest on full stomachs. WHAT
A SHAME! Ben Ammi forgets that this Seventh Day is the CREATOR’s Anniversary,
and it is HE that has COMMANDED, how HE wants it observed. To his hurt, Ben
Ammi does not see it that way.
Those who
decline from GOD’s Ways of Righteousness can expect to literally go mad and
die. This is GOD’s WORD – not mine! Ben Ammi initially taught GOD’s LAW and as
far as I knew abided by it. Actually, this was the reason I joined “Abeta
Israel,” the Israelite congregation in which he was a member. But he allowed a
former Christian preacher who joined his group to entice him to be the
“Messiah” and “Saviour” of the Nation of Israel. By the way, his congregation
does for sure call him “Lord and Saviour.” I have heard a woman make reference
to him as being that, and Asiel, the so-called “KOY” Ambassador confirms that
Ben Ammi saved him. He made this statement in the Paltalk Chat a few months
ago. For this reason, Ben Ammi has gone, not just mad but, stark raving mad. I
feel it is important to inform you that the woman (Rachel) who called Ben Ammi
“Lord and Saviour” is now deceased. And just for the record, the man who is
supposed to have “anointed” Ben Ammi is dead and has been dead for a long time,
now.
ISRAEL DOES
NOT KNOW!
“The young
lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat from God.” Psalm 104:21
Why can’t we
just seek Our GOD of Israel and be obedient to what HE requires of us? After
all, HIS Book of the Law and HIS WORD to HIS Prophets are our Bread of Life.
“Thus saith
the LORD, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the LORD
that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth
abroad the earth by myself; That frustrateth the tokens of the liars, and
maketh diviners mad; that turneth wise men backward, and maketh their knowledge
foolish;” Isaiah 44:24,25
King David
Feared and loved the GOD of Israel with all his heart and soul, and we have him
as evidence that we, also, can indeed be people after GOD’s own heart. Notice
his Psalm 101:
“I will sing
of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O LORD, will I sing. I will behave myself
wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my
house with a perfect heart. I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate
the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me. A froward heart
shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person. Whoso privily slandereth
his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath an high look and a proud heart
will not I suffer. Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they
may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve me. He that
worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not
tarry in my sight. I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may
cut off all wicked doers from the city of the LORD.”
I question the
motives of those who promote Ben Ammi’s so-called “KOY” and disseminate information
leading people to believe that he is a Messiah. Ben Ammi’s works judge him to
be nothing more than a Lawbreaker who is steadfastly working against the WORD
of the GOD of Israel, and who is relentlessly expounding on his books, his
diets, his authority, his being a Messiah, and his “Kingdom of Ben Ammi.”
Wake up,
Israel, and take diligent heed to the LAW and WORD of the GOD of Israel before
it is too late. Our GOD is taking back HIS Universe, and I PRAISE HIM, for I hate this
world system that enables people to live as they choose rather than live by
“every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD…” (Deuteronomy 8:3).
“I will sing
unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my
being. My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the LORD. Let the
sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more.
Bless thou the LORD, O my soul. Praise ye the LORD.”
Psalm 104:33 –
35
“Save us, O
LORD our God, and gather us from among the heathen, to give thanks unto thy
holy name, and to triumph in thy praise. Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from
everlasting to everlasting…” Psalm 106:47
“For thou,
LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a
shield.” Psalm 5:12
WHO IS ON
THE LORD’s SIDE, make haste to return to HIM and to HIS Book of the Law and to live and do
it in Righteousness with your whole heart and soul!
BLESSED BE
THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL FOR HIS MERCIFUL KINDNESS TOWARDS THOSE WHO SEEK HIM AND
WHO ARE OBEDIENT TO HIS LAW!
Me and My GOD
with me,

the Most High GOD of Israel for HIS Holy Name’s Sake

REFLECTING ON GOD’S WORD IN REGARD TO
HIS SEVENTH DAY SABBATH COMMANDMENT!
REMEMBER, THIS IS HIS
ANNIVERSARY DAY OF REST,
AND OUR DAY TO KEEP IN REST
AND AS A SIGN BETWEEN
HIM AND THE CHILDREN OF
ISRAEL!
“Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and
all the host of them.
And on the seventh day God ended his work which he
had made;
and he rested on the seventh day from all his work
which he had made.
And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it:
because that in it he had rested from all his work
which God created and made.”
Genesis 2:1 – 3
“…the LORD hath given you the sabbath, therefore he
giveth
you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide
ye every man in his place,
let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.”
Exodus 16:29
“…this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice,
and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all the ways
that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto
you.
But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but
walked in the counsels
and in the imagination of their
evil heart, and went backward, and not forward.”
Jeremiah 7:23,24
“And say thou unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of
Israel;
Cursed be the man that obeyeth not the words
of this covenant,
Which I commanded your fathers in the day that
I brought them forth
out of the land of Egypt, from the iron furnace,
saying, Obey my voice,
and do them, according to all which I command you:
so shall ye be my people, and I will be your God:”
Jeremiah 11:3,4
As most of
you know, I am a firm believer in living GOD’s Book of the Law, and that I
strongly stress observance of GOD’s Holy Seventh Day Sabbath that HE proclaimed
a “SIGN” between HIM and HIS Chosen People, Israel. To strengthen the great
significance of GOD’s Hallowed Seventh Day, HE used this Day of REST to prove HIS
People, the Israelites, to see if they would walk in HIS LAW, or no (Exodus
16:4).
It didn’t
take GOD long to find out that HIS Chosen People HE had JUST DELIVERED out of
Egyptian bondage by HIS Mighty Hand before their very eyes, did not FEAR HIM to
be OBEDIENT to HIS COMMANDMENT of the Holy Seventh Day of Rest. The Holy ONE of Israel
made no comment when the Israelites left the Manna “til the morning and it bred
worms and stank.” But, it was Moses who “was wroth with them.” However, when
some of the Children of Israel went out on the Seventh Day Sabbath to gather
Manna, this, without a doubt, deeply upset the Holy ONE of Israel.
“And it came
to pass, that there went out some of the people on the seventh
day for to gather, and they found none. And the LORD said unto Moses, How long
refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws?” Exodus 16:27,28
The
Israelites had failed their test! It is obvious that the Holy ONE DID NOT want the
Israelites leaving their places on HIS Holy Seventh Day of COMPLETE REST
(Shabbatone in Hebrew). And for some of us, if this is not understood, then
Exodus 16:29 makes GOD’s COMMANDMENT perfectly clear without a shadow of a
doubt.
“…the LORD
hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread
of two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on
the seventh day.”
The
questions now become, Is the Holy ONE of Israel still proving us to see if we
“will walk in HIS LAW, or no?” Is HE still using HIS Holy Sabbath Day as an
indicator, and are we at liberty to violate GOD’s COMMANDMENT “to abide every
man in his place on the Seventh Day”? Also, can we be expected to return to our
heritage if we do violate this COMMANDMENT?
“Her priests
have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy things: they have put no
difference between the holy and profane, neither have they shewed difference
between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths,
and I am profaned among them.” Ezekiel 22:26
Perhaps at this point, I should make readers aware of the basis for this
particular post.
Before the
recent “KenesiYAH Conference” in Jackson, Tennessee held on November 12
– 14, a notice was circulated stating, “This Conference Stars YHWH King Of
The Universe!!”
Because the
Conference called for activities on GOD’s Holy Sabbath Day of Complete REST, I
knew that most of the attendees, if not all, would be leaving their places
(homes and hotel rooms) on the Seventh Day, November 13, to take part in
whatever was being offered on GOD’s Holy Day. In my heart, I was immediately
critical of this Conference for going against GOD’s COMMANDMENT to abide in our
places on the Seventh Day of Rest. Also, knowing fully well that the GOD of
Israel is against bearing burdens on HIS Holy Sabbath Day, I thought to
challenge the promoter for circulating that “This Conference Stars YHWH King Of
the Universe” - words that were clearly construed to draw a crowd but
displeased YIHOVAH. And I wasn’t at all in agreement with charging a fee to
attend the Conference, either.
However, I, for
some reason, changed my mind about contacting the promoter. And in the
interim, I learned that the Conference was a success and people had really gotten
something out of this gathering. Then I thought to myself how wonderful it is
for Israelites to Glory and PRAISE the Holy ONE and rejoice in revering ONLY
HIM. I also thought that the GOD of Israel might have been truly pleased with
the Conference and that perhaps HE had changed the WAY HE wants us to observe
HIS Holy Seventh Day of REST. I told myself that perhaps we CAN indeed
gather and teach on this Hallowed Day. Although I had these thoughts, I didn’t
seek the Holy ONE for clarification on the matter. And I left it at that
without considering putting this notion of gathering on the Sabbath to the test
and without further thoughts about the issue until this past Friday, November
19, just a few days after the Conference ended when the Holy ONE of Israel gave
me clarification on the matter.
On this
Friday, while going about my daily readings, the Holy ONE showed me that we
must keep HIS LAW, as it is written or face the consequences. And no matter how
zealous and passionate we are about our concerns to worship Our GOD of Israel,
and no matter how jubilant and how much Praise and admiration we bestow
upon HIM in a Conference, in a parade, or in the privacy of our homes, we have
got to remain bound and TRUE to HIS LAWS – ALL OF THEM - to remember to do and
observe them, as HE has COMMANDED, for this Divine LAW IS OUR LIFE and is to be
kept (as it is written) FOREVER!
“And he said
unto them, Set your hearts unto all the words which I testify among you this
day, which ye shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of
this law. For it is not a vain thing for you; because it is your life:
and through this thing ye shall prolong your days in the land, whither
ye go over Jordan to possess it.” Deuteronomy 32:46,47
“Therefore
thou shalt love the LORD thy God, and keep his charge, and his statutes, and
his judgments, and his commandments, alway.” Deuteronomy 11:1
“These are
the statutes and judgments, which ye shall observe to do in the land, which the
LORD God of thy fathers giveth thee to possess it, all the days that ye live
upon the earth.” Deuteronomy 12:1
“But the LORD,
who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great power and a stretched
out arm, him shall ye fear, and him shall ye worship, and to him shall ye do
sacrifice. And the statutes, and the ordinances, and the law, and the
commandment, which he wrote for you, ye shall observe to do for evermore; and
ye shall not fear other gods.” II Kings 17:36,37
The passage
the Holy ONE showed me in Scripture that caused me to recall the November 12 –
13 KenesiYAH Conference and the activities held on GOD’s Holy Seventh Day of
Rest entailed the relocation of GOD’s Ark. I did not search for this passage.
This passage was brought to me…ALL PRAISES DUE TO THE HOLY ONE!
“And David
and all Israel played before God with all their might, and with singing,
and with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with cymbals, and
with trumpets.” I Chronicles 13:8
Without a
doubt, King David and ALL Israel played before GOD WITH ALL THEIR MIGHT with
SINGING, HARPS, PSALTERIES, TIMBRELS, CYMBOLS, and TRUMPETS. For sure the Israelites
made a great tumultuous noise in sincere PRAISE of the Most High GOD of Israel.
And indeed HE was taking notice!
I remember
many years ago reading this passage for the very first time thinking about how
wonderful it was for Israel to Praise GOD and how pleased HE must have been
seeing HIS People Exalting HIM with such joyfulness and fervor. But at that
time, as I continued reading the chapter, something happened in the passage
that I’m sure has caused Israelites and the Stranger alike to wonder why this
GOD of Israel would so severely punish a man, during this moment of exultation
and joy of HIM, for putting forth his hand to steady HIS Ark. I read on with great
sorrow for Uzza, seeking a valid reason for his death.
“And when they
came unto the threshingfloor of Chidon, Uzza put forth his hand to hold the
ark; for the oxen stumbled. And the anger of the LORD was kindled against
Uzza, and he smote him, because he put his hand to the ark: and there he died
before God.” I Chronicles 13:9,10
The valid
reason was and still is KEEP GOD’s LAWS for HE will not forgo punishment if
we don’t. For me, this passage was a tremendous wakeup call that made me
realize that no matter what…we, Israelites, must take heed to obey all
GOD’s COMMANDMENTS, as they are written. And when in doubt, rather than
assume the wrong decision, err on the side of caution, i.e., err on the side of
what's written. Then we can always say, "We followed the Commandment
that is written in GOD's Book of the Law!
The
Conference of November 12 – 14, I’m sure was well organized with the Holy ONE
in mind to draw as many people as possible and to make as much money as
possible. But given GOD’s LAW of the Holy Sabbath Day to “abide ye every man in
his place, let no man go out of his place on the Seventh Day,” has GOD given
HIS consent and endorsed leaving our places, driving cars, teaching, and
holding a Sabbath Service on this Seventh Day of Complete REST? Now,
since reading the passage about Uzza, I know for sure, the Holy ONE of Israel
has not changed HIS LAW of the Sabbath. It is yet valid, and we are bound to
it, as well as to ALL of GOD’s LAWS. And like Nehemiah, I remind everyone
of how our forefathers profaned GOD’s Holy Day of REST even after having just
returned to the land out of Babylonian captivity.
“Did not your
fathers thus, and did not our God bring all this evil upon us, and upon this
city? yet ye bring more wrath upon Israel by profaning the sabbath.”
Nehemiah 13:18
If we are
specifically advised to keep GOD’s Sabbath or be punished with death, that our
servants, oxen, asses, and cattle are also supposed to rest, as well, and
COMMANDED NOT to bear burdens on the Holy Seventh Day of Rest, then we have no
business scheduling activities on this Holy Shabbatone (Sabbath of Complete
REST Day). If the Holy ONE wanted us assembling on HIS Holy Seventh Day of Rest, then
HE would not have COMMANDED us to abide in our places on this Day of REST!!!
Surely that makes a lot of sense, right?
“But the
seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt
not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy
maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in
them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the
sabbath day, and hallowed it.” Exodus 20:10,11
“Speak thou
also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for
it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye
may know that I am the LORD that doth sanctify you. Ye shall keep the
sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that defileth it
shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul
shall be cut off from among his people. Six days may work be done; but in the
seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD: whosoever doeth any
work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.” Exodus 31:13 - 15
“Six days
thou shalt labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the
sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor
thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thine
ox, nor thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is
within thy gates; that thy manservant and thy maidservant may rest as well as
thou.”
Deuteronomy 5:13,14
“And it came to
pass, that when the gates of Jerusalem began to be dark before the sabbath, I
commanded that the gates should be shut, and charged that they should not be
opened till after the sabbath: and some of my servants set I at the
gates, that there should no burden be brought in on the sabbath day.”
Nehemiah 13:19
“Thus saith
the LORD; Take heed to yourselves, and bear no burden on the sabbath day, nor
bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem; Neither carry forth a burden out
of your houses on the sabbath day, neither do ye any work, but hallow ye the
sabbath day, as I commanded your fathers. But they obeyed not, neither
inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, nor
receive instruction. And it shall come to pass, if ye diligently hearken
unto me, saith the LORD, to bring in no burden through the gates of this city
on the sabbath day, but hallow the sabbath day, to do no work therein; Then
shall there enter into the gates of this city kings and princes sitting upon
the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they, and their princes,
the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and this city shall remain
for ever.” Jeremiah 17:21 – 25
“But if ye
will not hearken unto me to hallow the sabbath day, and not to bear a burden,
even entering in at the gates of Jerusalem on the sabbath day; then will I
kindle a fire in the gates thereof, and it shall devour the palaces of
Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched.” Jeremiah 17:27
Although
there is nothing written above about picking up sticks on the Holy Sabbath Day
of REST, GOD condemned a man to death for this act (Numbers 15:32-35). Doesn’t this sentence
of death expound upon the great importance of observing this Holy Day, as it is
written and not according to what we feel is acceptable? Of course it does! GOD
is as serious as a heart attack about our KEEPING HIS Holy Seventh Day of
COMPLETE REST and about JUDGING us if we profane it. Other than picking up
sticks on GOD’s Holy Seventh Day of REST, what else might we do to cause Our
GOD of Israel to be angry and “smite” or condemn us to death as HE did with
Uzza and the man who was found picking up sticks on HIS Holy Seventh Day Sabbath?
What about CARRYING all the books, charts, video equipment, teaching aids,
and other paraphernalia we need for instruction and for the operation of the
Conference? Who are we fooling? All of us are aware of what it entails to
organize and hold a Conference. It takes a lot of WORK, as well as a lot of
energy to sustain each day’s agenda, and I am only making reference to the
activities that are scheduled on GOD’s Holy Seventh Day Sabbath.
What about
the hot meals served at the hotels or at the meeting place on the Holy Seventh
Day when we are COMMANDED to prepare on the Sixth Day the food to be eaten on
the Seventh Day of REST? What about burdening someone to bear even sandwiches
and beverages to drink if food is served at the meeting place? What about
getting from the hotel to the meeting place? What about driving or being driven
to the meeting place? Think about all the work that transpires on a three-day
Conference that includes GOD’s Holy Day of COMPLETE REST.
And when we
involve ourselves in all these transactions, we say, “This Conference Stars
YHWH King Of The Universe.” I don’t think so! As a matter of fact, I know what “Thus
Saith the LORD,” and I know better! According to HIS WORD, HE is not pleased
and no more pleased with us than HE was with Uzza, King David, and the others.
I also know that Our GOD is not pleased with our charging a fee to hear HIS
WORD.
“The heads
thereof judge for reward, and the priests thereof teach for hire, and the
prophets thereof divine for money: yet will they lean upon the LORD, and say, Is
not the LORD among us? none evil can come upon us.” Micah 3:11
I see
nothing wrong with Israelites devising ways to raise money, but given the above
verse, we should keep GOD’s Ways out of such plans, i.e., don’t make money off
of the WORD of GOD. By all means, create jobs, have dances, parties, sell
dinners, plan spring, summer, and winter attractions, and keep them above
suspicion, but don’t include a fee if at all GOD’s WORD is involved. Let us be
about following GOD’s Counsel and not that of our own. And I can’t stress
enough that it does not entail charging and paying money to hear HIS Truth. When
our hearts are right, Our GOD prospers our way. When our hearts are NOT
right, there is no peace to the wicked.
When GOD did not pardon what Uzza did while King David and the Israelites were rejoicing before the Holy ONE giving HIM Praise and Glory, then what imaginations of our hearts think we can be pardoned for breaking GOD’s Law of the Seventh Day when HE distinctly COMMANDED us to “ABIDE YE EVERY MAN IN HIS PLACE, LET NO MAN GO OUT OF HIS PLACE ON THE SEVENTH DAY”? Is this not a COMMANDMENT? If you agree that it is, then how can we justify leaving our places on this Holy Seventh Day of REST to participate in any kind of service - Conference, Unity Shabbot or other function? We have more than enough time to schedule get-togethers and have spiritual assemblies.
