THE LAWKEEPERS

"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 20^th 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.

***

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

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

Psalm 81:1 - 4

"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! Whether the Moon shines on its own or with the aid 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. The only problem that presents itself is cloud coverage that prevents the ability to see the New Moon Crescent. Nonetheless, one can easily distinguish the New Moon Crescent "Sighting" 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. Thus, 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, and accept it!

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 7^th Day Sabbaths*] and in the NEW MOONS." Ezekiel 46:3 (Brackets are mine.)

Thereby, this justifies the First Day of each month being our "Feast" Day. It should be realized that the Feast Days that Our GOD selected 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 and Ezekiel 45:17), and when HE has HIS Temple rebuilt, then we will be able to resume this service once again.

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.

SOME QUESTIONS TO PONDER:

I don’t know about you, but if publishers want me to consider buying a book or magazine, all they need do is advertise that it will help me lose weight or improve my health. And then, in many cases, I’ll buy it. On the cover of just about every single issue of the "Woman’s World" there is a caption about losing weight. And when I just happen to see it, yep, I generally buy it, read it, but never follow the suggested advice.

Nonetheless, again I have bought this magazine (the August 6, 2002 Woman’s World) bearing such a banner. And therein is an article about the dietary supplement DLPA that is very, very interesting, and for sure, this time I plan to try it!

If you are like me, you spend many hours either sitting at the computer or sitting watching CNN, The Fox News Channel, Talk Shows, and watching The Weakest Link to corroborate all the malice and humor in the hearts of "men." Well, such being the case, it goes without saying, that we have got to give more attention to our well-being and get more exercise, if we are to improve our health. And if we don’t, we only have ourselves to blame for gaining weight and inviting maladies stemming from being chubby to say the least. The following article might inspire us all to use the suggested possible means of energizing our bodies to take a stand or rather make a "move" to do something to boost our moods that will hopefully lead us to exercise:

WANT MORE ENERGY AND A BETTER MOOD?

GET DLPA!

(DL-Phenylalanine)

Americans drink 350 million cups of coffee and 125 million cups of tea every day, and it’s still not enough; studies show we’re in the throes of an ongoing "exhaustion epidemic." Ready for the cure? The latest research shows that 500 mg. Daily of the dietary supplement DLPA may provide it.

"DLPA kicks up your body’s production of the energizing brain chemicals noradrenaline and dopamine," explains nutritional-medicine expert Hyla Cass, M.D., coauthor of Natural Highs. "This makes you feel refreshed and recharged almost instantly."

In fact, DLPA is so effective that experts say it’s a natural caffeine alternative - but it’s less likely to produce side effects like jitteriness and insomnia, and it won’t cause painful withdrawal headaches when you don’t take it, says Dr. Cass. And even better, the latest clinical studies show DLPA can also:

"DLPA appears to enhance the action of endorphins and enkephalins - the natural opiates that reduce pain and produce happy feelings," says Dr. Cass. In one study, it reversed depression for 73% of sufferers within two weeks!

The same study also found DLPA to be as effective as the prescription antidepressant Tofranil (imipramine). To ward off the blues, Dr. Cass recommends two 500 mg. capsules in the morning on an empty stomach, and one 500 mg. capsule midafternoon.

"DLPA also helps ease common aches and pains like migraines, backaches, arthritis and menstrual cramps," says Dr. Cass. In one University of Chicago Medical School study, 75% of chronic-pain patients experienced good to complete relief in less than a month of taking it.

"It doesn’t directly block pain," explains Dr. Cass. "It prevents certain enzymes in the body from destroying feel-good chemicals like endorphins." And while standard painkilling drugs last for hours, DLPA can keep pain at bay for days.

Dr. Cass recommends 750 mg. of DLP at breakfast and lunch and, if necessary, a third dose later in the day. "You could start feeling its effects within two days," she says. "And some patients report that after a week of DLPA use, they’ve been pain-free for up to a month!"

Taking 500 mg. - 1,000 mg. of DLPA two to three times daily can also help you drop extra pounds by increasing feelings of fullness. "Studies have shown that it stimulates the small intestine’s release of cholecystokinin, the hormone that controls satiety," says Dr. Cass. "So you’ll feel full faster at mealtimes."

What’s more, she says, by replenishing mood-lifting brain chemicals, DLPA helps you avoid emotional eating and stick to your weight-loss goals.

For the best results, take a multivitamin with your DLPA supplement - "DLPA requires a number of vitamins and minerals to convert into dopamine and norepinephrine, and this will help ensure you get them," Dr. Cass says. But taking more than 2,000 mg. daily can lead to overstimulation. "So start slowly and gradually increase the dose until you find the amount that works for you," she advises.

DLPA

D-L Phenylalinine - is an essential amino acid called "phenylalinine". This element is found naturally in some plants and animals. Phenylalinine is the precursor (parent substance) of tyrosine, and hence of dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine, all of which require Vitamins B6 and C for their biochemical conversion processes. This family of substances control, or affects, heart rate, and as a result blood pressure, oxygen consumption, blood sugar levels, fat metabolism, and several functions of the brain. In fact, phenylalinine will not be metabolized by the body without adequate Vitamin C available. Phenylalinine is also an essential acid required by the thyroid for normal function. Therapeutically, phenylalinine has been used effectively in several ways: as a pain control, as an antidepressant, to improve memory, concentration and mental alertness, to treat symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis, to reduce symptoms of multiple sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease, and to treat the depigmentation of the skin condition - vitiligo. Phenylalanine is a key element (amino acid) in the effective treatment & control of bodily pain. "Pain" should be thought of as a clear warning from the body that there is a significant problem. Thus, simply obliterating pain, whether through medication or other means of pain control (i.e. acupuncture or electrical stimulation), without consideration as to ‘what’ the alarm indicates, is poor medicine. However, once the cause of the pain is identified and properly treated, it is clearly desirable to control, reduce, or eliminate the pain itself so as to allow for as much relief possible during the body’s healing process. Acupuncture, for example, and acupressure techniques achieve some level of effectiveness via stimulation of the release of natural internally-produced pain killers. These are known variously as endorphins and encephalins. Phenylalanine enhances pain relief by slowing down the breakdown of these body-produced pain relievers, giving them a much longer time to act. The psychological element is also very important in pain relief; the more anxious we are, then the greater we perceive the pain; the more relaxed we are, then the better we are able to deal with that same amount of pain. Therefore, a certain degree of pain will at different times be perceived as greater, or lesser, according to whether we are tense & anxious, or calm & relaxed. Fortunately, phenylalinine has also been shown scientifically to have a definite relaxing and calming action, thereby making it extremely effective in the overall relief of chronic or acute pain.

Phenylalanine

Also indexed as: D,L-Phenylalanine, DLPA, DPA, LPA, L-Phenylalanine

Where are they found? LPA is found in most foods that contain protein. DPA does not normally occur in food. However, when phenylalanine is synthesized in the laboratory, half appears in the L-form and the other half in the D-form. These two compounds can also be synthesized individually, but it is more expensive to do so. The combination supplement (DLPA) is often used because of the lower cost and because both components exert different health-enhancing effects.

Who is likely to be deficient? People whose diets are very low in protein may develop a deficiency of LPA, although this is believed to be very uncommon. However, one does not necessarily have to be deficient in LPA in order to benefit from a DLPA supplement.

How much is usually taken? DLPA has been used in amounts ranging from 75–1,500 mg per day. This compound can have powerful effects on mood and on the nervous system, and therefore DLPA should be taken only under medical supervision. LPA has been used in amounts up to 3.5 grams per day. For best results, phenylalanine should be taken between meals, because the protein present in food can interfere with the uptake of phenylalanine into the brain, potentially reducing its effect.

When 100 mg of LPA per 2.2 pounds body weight or more was given to animals, a variety of complex problems occurred, leading two researchers to have concerns about potential toxicity of high amounts in humans.⁶ While these concerns were directed at LPA specifically, they are likely to be equally applicable to DLPA. Although no serious adverse effects have been reported in humans taking phenylalanine, amounts greater than 1,500 mg per day should be supervised by a doctor.

At the time of writing, there were no well-known drug interactions with phenylalanine.

Tziona Yisrael

Let’s keep YIHOVAH and HIS Law our focus and pray for deliverance and fulfillment of all of GOD’s Word, so that every Nation will show forth HIS Praise and Exalt HIM above all other gods.

Learn about the Reparations Mass Movement for Descendants of Slaves and how YOU can get involved: Go to: www.thelawkeepers.org and click on "Repnow."

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 NATION OF ISRAEL WAS FORMED

TO EXALT AND SHOW FORTH GOD’s PRAISES

IN THE LAND!

Isaiah 43:21

One would think that the Creator, the Most High GOD, needs no one or any help whatsoever to fulfill HIS Will. And indeed Our Holy ONE of Israel would not tell us if HE were hungry - "for all the world and the fulness thereof is HIS" (Psalm 50:12).

BUT…that being a given, we must never forget exactly how and why Our GOD of Israel chose Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and their SEED to be HIS Covenant People.

"And he brought him [Abram] forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.

"And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness.

"And he said unto him, I am the LORD that brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land to inherit it." Genesis 15:5 - 7

"But thou, Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend.

"Thou whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and called thee from the chief men thereof, and said unto thee, Thou art my servant; I have chosen thee, and not cast thee away.

"Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness."

Isaiah 41:8 -10

WHY:

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

"The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people:

"But because the LORD loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the LORD brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt."

Deuteronomy 7:6 - 8

"For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham his servant.

"And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness:

"And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited the labour of the people;

"That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise ye the LORD."

Psalm 105:42 - 45

"To keep the commandments of the LORD, and his statutes, which I command thee this day for thy good?" Deuteronomy 10:12,13

Another major factor in this regard is that GOD not only gave the SEED of Abraham the Land of Canaan which HE now calls the Land of Israel, but HE also put HIS Name in Jerusalem HIS Holy City and promised that HIS Heart would be there "perpetually" (I Kings 9:3).

"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.

"Then there shall be a place which the LORD your God shall choose to cause his name to dwell there; thither shall ye bring all that I command you; your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the heave offering of your hand, and all your choice vows which ye vow unto the LORD:

"And ye shall rejoice before the LORD your God, ye, and your sons, and your daughters, and your menservants, and your maidservants, and the Levite that is within your gates; forasmuch as he hath no part nor inheritance with you.

"Take heed to thyself that thou offer not thy burnt offerings in every place that thou seest:

"But in the place which the LORD shall choose in one of thy tribes, there thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings, and there thou shalt do all that I command thee."

Deuteronomy 12:5 - 7,11 - 14

"And thou shalt eat before the LORD thy God, in the place which he shall choose to place his name there, the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks; that thou mayest learn to fear the LORD thy God always."

Deuteronomy 14:23

Thus, we have a bird’s-eye view of GOD’s Master Plan to establish HIS Chosen People, the ones who will live Righteously IN THE LAND under HIS Laws, Statutes, and Judgments and, while doing so, Exalt, Praise, and Glory HIM for all the world to learn about the Creator, i.e., the ONE True and Living GOD.

Think long and hard about the events that took place immediately after the Most High GOD of Israel appeared unto HIS People and after HE delivered and saved them out of Egypt. And do note that serving and worshipping this All-Mighty GOD "in Egypt" was never ever a consideration. All of GOD’s efforts were to teach the Children of Israel HIS Ways while they were in the Wilderness with hopes that they would live them as they learned them and without adding to or diminishing from all that HIS Prophet Moses taught them (Deuteronomy 12:32).

Accordingly, this Message amplifies GOD’s Promises to AGAIN return the Nation of Israel to their heritage to serve and worship HIM in Righteousness IF "we" return to HIM and IF we are obedient to HIS Law, i.e., the very Law that HE taught our forefathers in the Wilderness and that HE expected us to live and do in Righteousness in the Land of Israel.

"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." Deuteronomy 30:1 - 3

"In that I command thee this day to love the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it.

"But if thine heart turn away, so that thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them;

"I denounce unto you this day, that ye shall surely perish, and that ye shall not prolong your days upon the land, whither thou passest over Jordan to go to possess it.

"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 30:16 - 20

Even King Solomon, at the dedication of GOD’s Temple, prayed for those of us living today in our enemies’ lands that we would be able to return home.

"If they sin against thee, (for there is no man that sinneth not,) and thou be angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captives unto the land of the enemy, far or near;

"And so return unto thee with all their heart, and with all their soul, in the land of their enemies, which led them away captive, and pray unto thee toward their land, which thou gavest unto their fathers, the city which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built for thy name:

"And forgive thy people that have sinned against thee, and all their transgressions wherein they have transgressed against thee, and give them compassion before them who carried them captive, that they may have compassion on them:

"That thine eyes may be open unto the supplication of thy servant, and unto the supplication of thy people Israel, to hearken unto them in all that they call for unto thee.

"For thou didst separate them from among all the people of the earth, to be thine inheritance, as thou spakest by the hand of Moses thy servant, when thou broughtest our fathers out of Egypt, O LORD God." Kings 8:46 - 53

Is not all this credible evidence that we, being Israelites - GOD’s Chosen People, should be all about re-establishing ourselves under GOD’s Law and in our homeland? If King Solomon prayed (for us) to the Holy ONE of Israel to "maintain their cause," and to "hearken unto them in all that they call for unto thee," then what should our cause be other than to live for Our GOD and show forth HIS Praise in the land that HE chose specifically and remarkably for Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and their SEED? What "cause" do we have to maintain in our enemies’ lands? The questions we should ask ourselves is, "Can we maintain GOD’s cause in exile at all and does HE even want us to do so?"

Life in the lands of our enemies is the epitome of life in a cesspool. No matter how you look at it, if Israel will "eat their defiled bread among the Gentiles" (Ezekiel 4:13), then most certainly we are defiled, as well from living among the Gentiles. Consequently, we cannot serve Our Holy GOD of Israel in exile.

"For in mine holy mountain, in the mountain of the height of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, there shall all the house of Israel, all of them in the land serve me: there will I accept them, and there will I require your offerings, and the firstfruits of your oblations, with all your holy things." Ezekiel 20:40

And why should we even want to maintain our cause or anything else in this bondage where the Slave Master maintains absolute control over our lives. Trying to enjoy truth, justice, morality, and equity in these social, economic, and political systems in the lands of the Slave Master can literally drive one crazy, and the reason is that no such ethics exist in his lands. Descendants of Slaves have always been victims of corruption, servitude, and impoverishment while enduring endless despair and hopelessness and without any compassion. And under these unfortunate circumstances, in "his" land we live for him, and we depend on him for our livelihood, food, medical care, and every other need. Let’s not forget that the curse Our GOD laid upon us for forsaking HIM and HIS Law was for us to be the "tail" while our enemy would be the "head" (Deuteronomy 28:44). Hence, this insane treatment should be expected. When the Holy ONE said that Israel "would serve thine enemies," HE did not lie (Deuteronomy 28:48). So, why waste time praying and wishing for prosperity in a captivity that was determined to "overtake" and "destroy" us (Deuteronomy 29^th Chapter)? Wouldn’t it make more sense to make supplication to Our GOD, Our ONLY Savior, to Deliver us out of this bondage and wickedness, so that we are not influenced by it, and so that we can be joined with Israelites who seek to follow HIS Paths of Righteousness for HIS Holy Name’s Sake but IN THE LAND to prepare to ring in GOD’s Holy Kingdom? Wouldn’t this be the ultimate of maintaining our cause?

Only when we, Israelites, return to our culture and grow our own fruits and vegetables in the land that Our GOD chose for us and make offerings to the Holy ONE using appropriately designated sheep, cows, and oxen, can we even think to serve the Holy ONE of Israel in Righteousness. Wouldn’t this, also be one of the concerns that King Solomon had in mind when he asked the GOD of Israel to "maintain their [meaning ‘our’] cause?"

If our GOD of Israel is waiting on us to show forth HIS Praise, it will be a long wait if we think that we can serve and worship HIM in exile. This is not what HE wants, and this is not what’s written!!! There is no Scripture to support serving the GOD of Israel in the lands of the Gentiles! There is no Scripture anywhere to even validate such a suggestion!

King Solomon said that we should "bethink" ourselves, i.e., REMIND ourselves while in captivity to repent, make supplication, return unto Our Holy ONE with all our heart and soul and pray toward Jerusalem. And I’m sure King Solomon meant for us to pray to the GOD of Israel for Deliverance - our only way out of this heinous suffering that we endure.

Don’t forget that we have a terrible track record - one that rejected the Holy ONE and HIS Laws. If we are not ready to return to our heritage and not ready to follow GOD’s Ways of Righteousness and do not even choose to do so, why then should Our GOD save us out of this bondage? After all, HE only saved our forefathers out of Egypt because they cried unto HIM. Are we crying for Deliverance, or are we looking for ways to better our lives in captivity? Hmmm.

"And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob." Exodus 2:24

"When Jacob was come into Egypt, and your fathers cried unto the LORD, then the LORD sent Moses and Aaron, which brought forth your fathers out of Egypt, and made them dwell in this place." I Samuel 12:8

Albeit, our Exodus will not mirror the one out of Egypt, but it will be one whereby, Our GOD of Israel will certainly manifest if it is in our heart to do so and if we satisfy the requirements of Deuteronomy 30^th Chapter. However, if we’re happy in this present day Egypt, this is where we will stay, and this is where we will die. Our GOD of Israel will save those of us who turn to HIM, i.e., those who are OBEDIENT to HIS Law and who wish to Exodus. Thus, this is the reason why this Exodus will differ greatly from the one of Moses’ day.

Keep in mind that with our Deliverance and Salvation is also magnification of the GOD of Abraham and Moses. For far too long the world has worshipped false gods. Now, we have the opportunity to reveal the whole Truth of the matter regarding the Holy ONE of Israel and HIS Righteous Book of the Law. And just as our Exodus out of Egypt called attention to the GOD of Israel at that time, so also will we again raise consciousness of HIM and HIS Truth when we come together under HIS Book of the Law for HIS Holy Name’s Sake but IN THE LAND!

"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

"For in mine holy mountain, in the mountain of the height of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, there shall all the house of Israel, all of them in the land, serve me: there will I accept them, and there will I require your offerings, and the firstfruits of your oblations, with all your holy things.

"And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall bring you into the land of Israel, into the country for the which I lifted up mine hand to give it to your fathers.

"And there shall ye remember your ways, and all your doings, wherein ye have been defiled; and ye shall lothe yourselves in your own sight for all your evils that ye have committed.

"And ye shall know that I am the LORD when I have wrought with you for my name's sake, not according to your wicked ways, nor according to your corrupt doings, O ye house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD." Ezekiel 20:40 - 44

How long will it take for us to get our acts together and realize that we were formed to live for Our Holy ONE of Israel? What more must Our GOD of Israel do to us before our leaders will Fear HIM and DEMAND that Israelites do what HE has required of us, i.e., Exalt HIM and live and do HIS Book of the Law AS IT IS WRITTEN in Righteousness? And what will it take for our leaders to realize that in being Israelites it is our duty to show forth GOD’s Praises IN THE LAND that GOD chose to set HIS Name? Where in our Brothers (and Sisters - Jeremiah 31:22) is the Spirit of Joshua and Caleb and the men who spied out Jericho? And just as important, where are our leaders or any Israelites who are pressing the issue that it is time to go home and "flee" Babylon (Jeremiah 51:6,45), i.e., all lands that hold us captive (Jeremiah 30:11)?

Consider this: If Our Holy ONE of Israel took the time to open our eyes to HIS Truth, then obviously it was for a reason. HE IS CALLING US HOME! And just know that HE can and will cause our return to our heritage if we set our hearts to follow HIS Ways. Remember, ONLY the true SEED of Israel is designated to be a "Light" to the World for GOD’s Righteousness’ sake. So, why should we make our GOD of Israel wait any longer for us to return and Praise HIM?

We need Our GOD of Israel so desperately, and HE needs us. HE’s calling us home! And HE’s been calling ever since HE opened our eyes to the facts regarding our identity and knowledge of HIS Truth and HIS Paths of Righteousness!

Passover Week

April 29, 2002

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

Deuteronomy 32:39

"Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it? Ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God besides me? Yea, there is no God; I know not any." Isaiah 44:8

"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 44:22

For those of us who truly Fear Our True and Living GOD, let us be blessed with answers to our prayers that HE will deliver us out of bondage just as HE saved our forefathers out of bondage down in Egypt. We also pray that Our Holy ONE will deal with the Rulers of this World and call HIS Chosen Ones home to our heritage where HE will once again live among us and be Our GOD of gods and LORD of lords and where we will be a LIGHT to the World and show forth HIS Praise and Glory in Truth and in Righteousness FOREVER.

O TASTE AND SEE THAT THE LORD, OUR GOD OF ISRAEL, IS GOOD to all those who Fear and seek HIM in Truth and in Righteousness!!! The Holy ONE was with Abram, and HE will be with us, as well if we will just turn to HIM with our whole heart. I am a Witness!

Let’s be ready for the Day of the LORD for therein lies our DELIVERANCE and our return to our heritage if we return to Our ONLY LORD and SAVIOR and be obedient to HIS LAW.

***

"Fearing" YIHOVAH and "OBEDIENCE" to HIS Ways is "Key" to our attaining everything we need to know, do, and accomplish. And for that, BLESSED BE THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL FOR EVER AND EVER!

***

GLORY YIHOVAH, CLEAVE TO HIM, AND EXALT HIM AND

HIS BOOK OF THE LAW ALWAYS!

"Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and THERE IS NONE ELSE.

"In the LORD shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory."

Isaiah 45:22,25

"Hearken unto me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, which are borne by me from the belly, which are borne by me from the belly, which are carried from the womb:

"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 46:3-5,9,12,13

WE DO NOT NEED JC!!!

WE NEED THE SAME GOD THAT SAVED THE NATION OF ISRAEL OUT OF EGYPT!!!

"…this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you." Jeremiah 7:23

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

"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

Tziona Yisrael,

"Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.

"And I will wait upon the Lord, that hideth his face from the house of Jacob,

and I will look for him."

Isaiah 8:16,17

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

Poetry and Prose Corner With A Message:

LORD, PLEASE TAKE BACK YOUR UNIVERSE…

We rejected you and your Holy Laws, Statutes, and Judgments,

For the likes of our imaginations and our established precedents.

We foolishly assumed that we could live better lives walking our own paths,

But to our dismay, issues, crises, and destruction manifest incredibly fast.

YOU took from us our glorious land of milk and honey,

And cast us to live in exile in affliction and servitude and in need of money.

Now, our own paths prove to be of no merit,

And as a matter of fact all paths, but YOURS, are without credit.

The enemy in whose lands and hands you have cast us,

Has deceived and beguiled your people to believe that he is just.

He portrays himself to be the superior race,

And created for himself a god with a white face.

He’s got your Chosen People accepting this ever present false deity,

A mere "man" who died and arose to heaven presumably.

But our enemy thinks us all to be so naïve,

As to believe such nonsense that he has devised to deceive.

Now, this Earth is totally in chaos and confusion,

With gods aplenty that do nothing but create an illusion.

Not one of them has even established peace on this planet,

People just choose to believe and take these false gods for granted.

LORD, please take back your Universe,

Before evil and unjust rulers make it the worse.

Wishing upon a star is a dream that comes true,

Not for your People, but for the White "Jew."

They have taken the markets in banking, diamonds, and all wealth,

And have the power to control countries with untold stealth.

LORD, I know and you know all too well,

That these people are not Israelites and are doomed to Hell.

They have taken our land and our Covenant Name,

And have deceived the World with this malicious and corrupt game.

LORD, please take back your Universe,

Before evil and unjust rulers make it the worse.

Though we are yet captives and descendants of Slaves,

Some of us are awakening and learning to behave.

We are seeking and finding your Righteous Ways,

And learning and accepting them without nays.

Have Mercy upon us, Most High GOD of Hosts,

And be with those who trust in you the most.

YOU can read all our hearts and know who lies,

Give all of us according to our works and hear our cries.

LORD, please take back your Universe,

Before evil and unjust rulers make it the worse.

For far too long YOU have been without Praise,

Call your People home, so that we can begin a new and Righteous phase.

Many of your People have learned our lesson and want to do the right thing,

Forgive us, LORD, and keep and protect us under your Wing.

Don’t prolong the days, O LORD, and show the enemy his fault,

Then take him down and bring this madness to an abrupt halt.

The enemy thrives and so does his wicked work,

But in your bringing him down the fewer people he will hurt.

LORD, please take back your Universe,

Before evil and unjust rulers make it the worse.

Only YOU can save and heal us,

Remember Abraham and David and all your doings so just.

YOU are our Savior and our Redeemer,

Restore us for your Praise, GOD Our Father and ultimate Helper.

LORD, please take back your Universe,

Before evil and unjust rulers make it the worse.

"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.

with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads:

Isaiah 35:4,10

"For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour:

I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee.

"Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honorable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life.

I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west;

"I will say to the north, Give up: and to the south, Keep not back:
