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

START THE NEXT NEW MOON WATCH ON THE EVENINGS OF
<<<AUGUST 2,3,4, 2008>>>
BY LOOKING IN THE “WEST” JUST ABOVE THE HORIZON.
“He appointed the moon for seasons…”
Psalm 104:19
The first “Sign” in the Heavens to provide the start
of days, years and “seasons” can only begin with the “Sighting” of the New Moon
Crescent - that which we can “see” in order for it to serve as a “Sign” and
enable us to begin counting our days and months. Just imagine not being able to “see” the
moon at all. How then could it be
appointed for a “Sign” or for “seasons”?
“The natural thought might be that the moon is like a
living being. It is born, grows, reaches
maximum size, then fades and dies, going through all these stages in one
month. Even today, we still talk of the thin
crescent in the western sky as a new moon and the thin crescent
in the eastern sky a month later as the old moon. Half way between is the full moon. As I explained earlier, this cycle of phases
of the moon established the month as a unit of time, and the first calendars
were based on this.” ISAAC ASIMOV’S
GUIDE TO EARTH AND SPACE, pages 79 and 80
In that the King of Israel is supposed to be a “Righteous
Judge” (II Chronicles 1:11), it stands to reason that he is also supposed
to be a “Righteous Role Model.”
Thus, if the King that GOD appoints over
To their and our hurt our forefathers worshipped all
manner of symbols: the sun, moon, stars,
and images of gold and silver. To
observe the “Sign” in the heavens as being the New Moon “Sighting” is NOT
worshipping the moon, but rather it is doing as we are COMMANDED in Genesis
1:14:
“And God said, Let there be lights in the
firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs,
and for seasons, and for days, and years:”
Some people feel that the moon has no “light,” but
according to GOD’s WORD to HIS Prophets, it most certainly does: Isaiah 13:10;
Isaiah 30:26; Jeremiah 31:35; Ezekiel 32:7.
***
“Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob.
“Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the
pleasant harp with the psaltery.
“Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time
appointed,

“For this was a statute for
Psalm 81:1 – 4
(A Psalm of Asaph, the Seer –
one who should be well informed about GOD’s Ways)
“Also in the day of your gladness, and in your solemn
days, and in the beginnings of your months, ye shall blow with the trumpets
over your burnt offerings,
and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; that
they may be to you for a memorial before your God: I am the LORD your God.”
Numbers 10:10
Contrary to the belief of some Israelites, the moon
does indeed shine! Even if the Moon
shines with the aid of the sun, i.e., reflects the light of the sun, IT STILL
SHINES! And the fact that Scripture attests to this
fact, is what’s important: Isaiah 60:19;
Jeremiah 31:35; and Ezekiel 32:7. Therefore,
Genesis 1:14 is proof enough that we must use the shining New Moon Crescents as
“…SIGNS, AND FOR SEASONS, AND FOR DAYS, AND FOR YEARS:”
Some Israelites, along with White Jews, use the dark
phase of the moon to determine the start of a new month. If the dark
phase of the moon lasts for “2-3 days,” then which of these days is supposed to
be the distinguishing “Sign” that determines the First Day of the month? Or do we just arbitrarily select either/or
depending on the imaginations of our hearts?
On the contrary, with the use of the sighted “Sign”
of the
“So David hid himself in the field: and WHEN THE
NEW MOON WAS COME, the king sat him down to eat meat.” I Samuel 20:24
At the time of the dark phases of the moon (generally
2-3 days), as previously written, there is no “moon” in SIGHT. Therefore, I Samuel 20:24 sheds more light on
Genesis 1:14. “WHEN THE NEW MOON WAS
COME,” is clearly telling readers that this is a reference to a visible “
The only problem that presents itself when using the
“New Moon Sighting” to call the First Day of the month is cloud coverage, as
this prevents the ability to see the
“Then Solomon offered burnt offerings unto the LORD
on the altar of the LORD, which he had built before the porch,
“Even after a certain rate every day, offering
according to the commandment of Moses, on the sabbaths, and on the new
moons, and on the solemn feasts, three times in the year, even in the feast
of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of
tabernacles.” II Chronicles 8:12,13
Unless there is an emergency, please try not to buy
or sell on this day. Conduct all
financial and business transactions prior to the day of the New Moon. Interesting enough, II Kings 4:23,24
constitutes the New Moon as being a day to seek “the man of God.” Although the New Moon is NOT a Day of
Rest, Our GOD did set it aside for recognition:
“Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time
appointed, on our solemn feast day.” Psalm 81:3
“And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon
to another, and from one Sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship
before me, saith the LORD.”
Isaiah 66:23
“…When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell
corn?…” Amos 8:5
Probably, the Scripture that most determines and
clarifies the fact that our New Moons are Feast Days is Ezekiel 45:17:
“And it shall be the prince’s part to give burnt
offerings, and meat offerings, and drink offerings, in the feasts, and in
the NEW MOONS, and in the Sabbaths, in ALL SOLEMNITIES of the house of
Israel: he shall prepare the sin
offering, and the meat offering, and the burnt offering, and the peace
offerings, to make reconciliation for the HOUSE OF ISRAEL.” (Caps. are mine.)
Unequivocally, our New Moons are included in these “SOLEMNITIES”
mentioned in Ezekiel 45:17.
“Likewise the people of the land shall worship at the
door of this gate before the LORD in
the Sabbaths [Feasts – NOT 7th Day Sabbaths*] and in the NEW MOONS.” Ezekiel 46:3 (Brackets are mine.)
Thereby, this verse justifies the First Day of each
month being our “Feast” Day. It should be realized that the Feast Days
that Our GOD selected (Leviticus 23rd Chapter) are “Holy Convocations,” i.e.,
on these days we cannot do any work.
However, because King Saul observed the New Moon as a Feast Day, we have
every reason to do so, as well. We
also have learned that our forefathers traveled to the
When we return to our heritage and worship YIHOVAH
according to HIS Ways, then we can establish our own “Calendar of the
Universe,” whereby, the days of the New Moon and all GOD’s Holy Days will be
recognized by the whole entire World. And I am sure that it will be the desire of
the Righteous Remnant and ALL the world to make a Feast to the Most High GOD of
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob/Israel every First Day of the Month.
ALSO, I believe that if Lot (Genesis 19:3) and
Abraham (Genesis 21:8) can proclaim “Feasts,” then there is no stipulation for
NOT establishing Feast Days, as we so desire. Therefore, to proclaim a
feast to EXALT the Holy ONE of Israel on the First Day of each month is quite
acceptable - given the Scripture (above) regarding worshipping Our LORD GOD of
ISRAEL, Our SAVIOR, on the New Moons.
We should know that throughout the Tanakh Hebrew Israelites called for
“feasts” for various occasions. Therefore,
we are within our rights to observe a Feast every New Moon to Our GOD, the GOD
of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob/Israel. And
those of us who love this WONDERFUL GOD and who choose HIM to EXALT HIM for
being the ONLY LORD and SAVIOR can be at liberty to use the day of the New Moon
to show forth HIS PRAISE in a “feast” and worship HIM in Jerusalem FOREVER.

A Tribute to GOD’s “HOLY” Seventh
Day Sabbath of Complete REST - HIS WEEKLY ANNIVERSARY OBSERVANCE and SIGN

generations, for a perpetual covenant.
It is a sign between me and the children
of
for in six days the LORD made heaven and
earth,
and on the seventh day he rested, and was
refreshed.”
Exodus 31:17,18
Since we know for a fact that GOD’s Holy Seventh Day
Sabbath is a “Sign” between HIM and
Perhaps the wise thing to do would be to define the word
“burden.” But more importantly, we
need to determine whether or not Exodus 16:29 is a Commandment or not. And if it is determined to be one, then we
should Fear the GOD of
“But the LORD, who brought you up out of
the
and a stretched out arm, him shall ye
fear, and him shall ye worship,
and to him shall ye do sacrifice. And the statutes, and the ordinances, and the
law,
and the commandment, which he wrote for you,
he shall observe to do for ever more;
and ye shall not fear other gods.”
II Kings 17:36,37
Why must we debate that which is clearly written for
us to do and for very good
reason, if we will only consider and think about it? The Holy ONE wants us to be first to
observe HIS weekly Anniversary of Creation, which is to keep HIS Holy Seventh
day at REST, as HE did, in order that we might be REFRESHED!
“REMEMBER THE SABBATH
DAY, TO KEEP IT HOLY”
Exodus 20:8
“See, for that the LORD hath given you the
sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide
ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.” Exodus
16:29
“And Moses gathered all the congregation
of the children of
“Six days shall work be done, but on the
seventh day there shall be to you an holy day, a sabbath of rest to the LORD:
whosoever doeth work therein shall be put to death.” Exodus
35:1,2
“Six days shall work be done: but the
seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation [“HOLY DAY”]; ye shall
do no work therein: it is the sabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings.” Leviticus
23:3
“Six days may work be done; but in the
seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD: whosoever doeth any work in
the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death. Wherefore the children of
“And on the seventh day God ended his work
which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he
had made. And God blessed the seventh
day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work
which God created and made.” Genesis 2:2,3
Significantly, in the beginning when the Holy ONE of
If “ALL” GOD’s COMMANDMENTS are sure, then for sure,
we must give credence to Exodus 16:29 and abide in our places on GOD’s HOLY
Seventh Day of Complete REST as we are COMMANDED TO DO!
“He hath shewed his people the power of his works,
that he may give them the heritage of the heathen. The works of his hands are
verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure.” Psalm 111:7
GOD’s Holy Seventh Day Sabbath of REST is not only
one of HIS Greatest WORKS of all time, but this Holy Day is an extraordinary
“SIGN” between this Most High GOD, the CREATOR and HIS Chosen People, the
Children of Israel! This Seventh Day
also marks the Anniversary of GOD ending the Creations of the Heavens, Earth,
man, and all that is therein.
“Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and
all the host of them. And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had
made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And
God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had
rested from all his work which God created and made.” Genesis 2:1 - 3
“And he said unto them, This is that which the LORD
hath said, Tomorrow is the rest of the holy sabbath unto the LORD: bake
that which ye will bake today, and seethe that ye will seethe; and that which
remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning.
“See, for that the LORD hath given you the sabbath,
therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every
man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.” Exodus 16:23,29
“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
“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

times in a year shall all thy males appear before the LORD thy God in the

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
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:
Why do you think the GOD of
***
“Wherefore
the people did chide with Moses, and said, Give us water that we may drink. And
Moses said unto them, Why chide ye with me? wherefore do ye tempt the
LORD? And the people thirsted there for
water; and the people murmured against Moses, and said, Wherefore is
this that thou hast brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our
children and our cattle with thirst?
“And he called the name of the place
Massah, and Meribah, because of the chiding of the children of Israel, and
because they tempted the LORD, saying, Is the LORD among us, or not?” Exodus 17:2,3,7
When we are grouped again in the Wilderness mentioned
in Ezekiel 20:34 – 38 and are faced with a lack of food and water, what would
be the appropriate behavior to remedy this situation?
***
QUESTION AND ANSWER:
Every year there are a few Israelites who observe
the Feast of Weeks in Gentile lands. Where
is undeniable Scripture than can prove them to be in error?
"The first of the FIRSTFRUITS OF THY LAND
thou shalt bring unto the house of the LORD thy God…" Exodus 34:26
"Speak unto the children of Israel, and say
unto them, When ye be come INTO THE LAND which I give unto you, and shall REAP
THE HARVEST THEREOF, then ye shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your
harvest unto the priest: "
Leviticus 23:10
And if that does not suffice, then Ezekiel
clarifies the matter even more so:
"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 REQUIRE
YOUR OFFERINGS, and the firstfruits of your oblations, with all your holy
things. " Ezekiel 20:40
If the GOD of Israel has told us that we would eat
defiled bread among the Gentiles (Ezekiel 4:13), it makes no sense to grow
foods in heathen lands and use this harvest to observe the Feast of Weeks? Clearly, the Feast of Weeks is a Feast Day to
be observed in the Land of Israel
Should anyone choose to respond to
the above questions, it would be my pleasure to publish your answers in the
next issue of The LawKeepers JOURNAL.

INFO/HINTS FOR HARDY, HEALTHY
HEBREWS:
[This is the first
posting of significant information on "bones," and it would appear
that if we consume certain herbs, eat properly, and live by the Ways of the
Holy ONE of Israel, hey, dem bones gonna live!!! T.Y., Editor]

HEALTH REPORT FROM THE DESK OF OUR SISTER T'ZIRAH BAHT
YISRAEL:
August 2008
Thank you YHWH for
making me. YOU alone sustain me.
Praise YHWH for HIS
majesty, for YOUR mercy, and YOUR patience with me.
I just wanted to
thank YOU for making such a wonderful body.
What a creation you
made. . My body is a miracle of parts and systems.
Thank you YHWH.
Praise YHWH.
HALLELUYAH!
HALLELUYAH! HALLELUYAH!
LET'S
TALK ABOUT BONES
Let’s talk about bones. They make
up just one part of your body’s many systems. Can you image what we’d be like
without them? Dem bones I mean.
Dem bones, dem bones, dem dry
bones
Dem bones, dem bones, dem dry
bones
Dem bones, dem bones, dem dry
bones
Now hear the word of the Lord?
The toe bone connected to the foot bone
The foot bone connected to the ankle bone
The ankle bone connected to the leg bone
The leg bone connected to the knee bone
Knee bone connected to the thigh bone
Thing bone Connected to the hip bone
Hip bone connected to the back bone
Backbone connected to the shoulder bone
Shoulder bone connected to the neck bone
Neck bone connected to the head bone
Now hear the word of the Lord?
The skeletal system is one of the body’s largest systems and accounts
for 50% of the body’s total weight. This system includes the nails and teeth.
Have you ever thought of how we would survive without a skeletal system?
YHWH has made us to perfection - EVERYTHING in its place - to repair, replace,
and maintain.
Every system in the body is designed to do specific functions and this
includes the skeletal system. We often take for granted our ability to move
about freely. But activity, as simple as
making a fist, to movements as complex as that of an athlete performing
difficult movements, depends on the structure, function, and integrity of the
skeletal system.
We never truly think of our bones until we either injure or break one or
feel pain or aches as we age.
Did you know that there are 206 bones in the human body consisting of 4
types?
The skeletal system consists of Long bones: the thigh, arm, and leg, Flat bones: the skull, Short bones: the toes, fingers, and Irregular bones:
the back bone or vertebrae. Bones are made up of calcium, potassium, magnesium,
and phosphorous and are capable of even regulating and making components in our
blood.
What exactly do bones do? Bones
have five specific functions:
-
Support the body giving it form and
frame
-
Protect vital body organs like the
brain, heart, liver, lungs, and reproductive organs
-
Movement with muscular attachment to
bone and joint movement
-
Red Blood Cell Production
Did you know that blood is manufactured within the bones? When we are
young red blood cells are actually produced in certain bone structures? And as
adults these red blood cells are produced in other bones? When bones break
there is a danger of clot formation because of the mechanism in place during
injury or breaks in bone tissue.
Knowing these important facts should make us realize how important it is
to maintain our bone integrity, not just staying safe from injuries but
actually nourishing our bones too.
And just how do we do this?
-
Make certain to get enough sun light
-
Eat foods high in calcium such as
spinach, salmon (especially the wild types)
-
Eat certain dairy products such as
milk or cheese.
Although Cod Liver Oil has been a healthful addition to the diet for
years, it has been shown that regular use of cod liver oil has been associated
with weakening of the bones. That is
because of the high dose of vitamin A it contains.
Studies of Scandinavian women who consume cod liver oil show a higher rate
of osteoporosis. Does this mean that the results of this study on Caucasian
woman works the same for other racial types? The study does not address this.
Many African American families have used Cod Liver Oil for years to off set the
affects of rickets - A softening and bending of bone caused by the loss of
calcium or lack of this vital mineral. It is manifested by the limbs having a
bowed appearance.
Purified fish oil avoids this problem because it is high in omega-3
fatty acids, which have anti-inflammatory activity, fish oil might help with
arthritis without weakening the bones.
A recent study suggests that it might interfere with glucose control, so
be sure to monitor your blood sugar closely.
Herbs good for bone health
Horsetail (Also called Botle brush, or shavegrass): The stems are
used: properties are good for calcium absorption, which promotes and
strengthens bone. Promotes healing of broken bones. Useful for the treatment of
arthritis, bone diseases such as osteoporosis and rickets
Red Raspberry - parts used Bark, leaves, and roots: Contains
calcium, phosphorus, silicon, Promotes healthy nails, bones, teeth.
Celery, Bok Choy, Rhubarb:
These foods specifically target bone strength. Bones are 23% sodium and these
foods are 23% sodium. If you don't have enough sodium in your diet, the body
pulls it from the bones, thus making them weak. These foods replenish the
skeletal needs of the body.
I hope after reading this you will be able to reflect and meditate, and
then thank YHWH for making such a complex but fantastic body. But it is up to
us to take care of it.
You must work closely with your health care provider in order to obtain
the most concentrated and directed care for your particular condition whether
it's to maintain your present health or to overcome dis-ease.

African
American Health in
Most of us are aware that so-called African Americans are
overrepresented in statistics for chronic disease and death in the
"The Lord shall
send upon thee cursing, vexation, and rebuke,
in all that thous
settest thine hand unto for to do, until thou be destroyed, and until thou
perish quickly; because of the wickedness of thy doings, whereby thou hast
forsaken me.”
Until YHWH causes the reversal of this curse through our acknowledgement
of our wrong doings along with our steadfast adherence to those Laws, Statutes,
and Commandments we are bound to, as a people we will continue to deal with
these disproportionate health statistics in our lives.
We, therefore, ask YHWH to
sustain us and assist us with regard to keeping healthy. For we know without HIS guidance, we lose in
our struggles to stay well and overcome our afflictions. We praise YHWH for our
health and to keep disease out of our trials and tribulation.
We praise YHWH for
HIS GREATNESS and for HIS blessings to sustain us.
Hallelu YAH! Hallelu YAH! Hallelu YAH!
According to Barbara M. Dixon, RD., L.D.N.[1] So
called African American health is complicated, and this group has a higher risk
for disease and premature death than any other group living in the
How much do we contribute to these factors? The
Accidents 24% higher
Cancer 32% higher
Heart disease 38% higher
Cirrhosis/liver disease 77% higher
Stroke 82% higher
Diabetes 132 % higher
Kidney failure 176% higher
AIDS 250% higher
Homicide 500% higher
The Ten Black Risk Factors include:
Obesity.
Smoking
Drinking
Drug use
Fatty diet (high in saturated fats and cholesterol)
Lack of physical exercise
Stress
Untreated high blood pressure
Uncontrolled diabetes
We can counteract Obesity by increasing our exercise daily. Can’t afford
a fee to join Gold’s Gym or the “Y”, then try walking. It has been proven that
a 15-30 minute brisk walk at least 3x per week can increase the metabolic rate,
and thus, encourage fat burning. It's cheap, safe, and every age can benefit
from brisk walking.
For assistance with weight loss
Goals include herbal teas with chickweed which is loaded with vitamins
and minerals and helps flush away excess body weight and fluids so does dandelion.
Apple cider vinegar is also good for burning body fat. Use it in salad dressing recipes.
2 cloves of fresh garlic crushed
juice of 1 lemon or 2 Tbsp. of apple cider vinegar
1 Tbsp. of honey
½ tsp. of
Trying to quite smoking?
Most states have smoking cessation programs funded by the monies tobacco
companies had to pay due to smoking deaths related to addictive properties in
cigarettes these companies wontedly knew would addict smokers. The fees for smoking cessation programs are usually
minimal or free.
The stresses of life may provoke some who are unable to cope to turn to
alcoholic drinks to placate them. Removing these stressors by prayer and
meditation may do much to relieve the guilt or low self esteem that may drive
the need to consume alcohol to numb difficulties of life.
By familiarizing oneself with those natural products which may subdue or
counteract the effects of alcohol, one can find herbs such as Kudzu that
may curb the appetite for alcohol. It has been used in
http://www.hno.harvard.edu/gazette/2005/05.19/09-kudzu.html
Although the answers to the high percentages of health problems among
African Americans may be due to risk factors, one cannot ignore the effects
discrimination and neglect may play into these statistics.
According to these stats we seem to be especially sensitive to salt and
this chemical is an essential element of our environment. We find it in water,
canned foods, frozen foods, dried soup mixes, and the additional salt we apply
to our foods.
Try using vinegar, lemon, or a combination of spices to replace the need
for a lot of salt. Look at labels. Read the sodium content on the box of frozen
TV dinners. Excessive salt intake may be
troublesome for those with hypertension or kidney disease, but the healthy
individual may consume large amounts without overburdening the body. Salt content is a normal part of every food
we eat.
Diabetes or “sugar” as the old folks called it is not caused by eating
too many sweets but have many causes. Some literature suggests that a virus
which may damage delicate tissues within the pancreas called the Islets produce
the hormone insulin. There is discussion that strong antibiotics may be
responsible for damage to these tissues. Still other natural health literature
may blame yeasts and mold. Certain environmental factors have been singled out
as well.
Only our bodies tell us that there is something wrong. We must be alert to the signals it gives us. Are
we excessively thirsty? Have we lost excessive amounts of pounds without
explanation? Are we constantly hungry? Do we urinate frequently? Do we suffer
excess fatigue? Blood glucose levels may
be high due to excessive amounts of sugar within our blood. This blood then
goes to every muscle: the bladder, the heart, the brain, and the kidney. Now,
you know the reasons for feeling those symptoms. When this glucose goes through
the kidneys it stimulates urination, when it hits the muscles, they feel
fatigued, you feel thirsty because the blood is loaded with sugar and the body
asks for water to dilute it. Etc.
Increasing consumption of fresh steamed organic vegetables, high protein
in the form of soy, and unpolluted fluids may alter these symptoms dramatically
coupled with the elimination of refined carbohydrates and additional sugars in
our diet. Exercise and rest are especially helpful. Artificial
sugar substitutes may cause other dangerous problems so herbals such as
licorice or stevia may help. See your health care professional before adding
these to your diet, as licorice may cause thinning of the blood over time.
Keeping the blood purified using Red Clover Blossoms, Echinachea, and
Dandelion in the form of teas have proven most helpful, as well because they
allow the blood to clear itself of harmful elements.
We are ultimately responsible for our own health, and there are things
we can do to ensure that we are doing the best we can in pursuit of good care.
First and foremost finding the best health care practitioner who will listen to
our needs, are attentive to our concerns, don’t belittle us because we ask
questions nor are intimidated by us and
have our best interests at heart is the ideal practitioner. This ideal health
care person, along with the fore mentioned traits, will then assess our health
history, will plan for the necessary care for us after a careful examination,
and will then plan the appropriate and best program for our recovery of
dis-ease or in the maintenance of our health.
After all it's our health, and we only get one body in a lifetime. And
we have to work hard with YHWH’ to help to keep it.

Shalome & Blessings Unto All:
People are in an unhealthy state,
physically and metaphysically. Changing our diets is one part of a big
equation or one part of a big musical ensemble if you like. Eating
Healthy aids us in thinking clearer, healing faster, feeling better and
dis-ease prevention so that we can have less barriers to get out of these boxes
and do the thing for real for real. Also studying Yah The
Creator's laws in depth for the soul, regular physically challenging
movement (i.e. walking, martial arts, exercise, yoga, etc.), enjoying fresh
air, laughing/smiling, thinking positive, and doing the righteous things that
our hearts yearn in are all part of that good vibration and rhythm.
If you want to or are trying to eat
healthier (whether you are a vegetarian or not, or if you are trying to become
a vegetarian) here is some knowledge to help you on the way. If you have gotten
a similar email in the past, there is a lot more updated information here.
Health Food Tips
The first thing is research research,
research for yourself. Don’t just take the words of one person, go out
and do your own research and educate yourself about the human body, foods,
herbs, supplements, health, dis-ease, universal laws, etc.
KITCHEN APPLIANCES: Buy a blender; you need a
blender. It is very important. The best kinds of pots and pans to
use are stainless steel, pure glass that is not lined, or cast iron.
Teflon, aluminum, and painted pots and pans are bad.
OILS: The best oils to use are Coconut Oil and Extra
Virgin Olive Oil. (African) Palm oil is also good. Coconut and Palm Oils
are liquid at room temperature and solid in the cold. They do not clog
your arteries like regular oils and butters; they flow smooth throughout your
body. None of these oils have transfats and they are saturated, which is
a good thing. Don’t believe the hype about calories and fats. Some
fats are good, some fats are bad. These are good oils. Sesame oil
is good too, not so much to fry with, but for dressings, flavor and light
cooking.
SALT & SEASONINGS: Use salt in moderation. 100%
pure sea salt is the only kind of salt that we should be using. Regular
seasoning mixes are not good, for example “adobo” and “sazon.” Try making
your own mixes with sea salt and other pure ground spices. If you must
but a seasoning mix, buy one with sea salt and no additives, preservatives or
anti-caking agents.
SWEETNERS: The best sweetners to use are raw honey, agave nectar and maple
syrup. Raw honey is the most expensive, and you cannot give it to babies
because it is too strong, but is full of vitamins and minerals. Agave
nectar come from a plant native to this land, and it is actually best and good
for those with diabetes because of its absorption compatability. Pure
maple syrup is tree sap. These are more costly, but are the best.
The least expensive healthy sweetner is Raw cane sugar, also known as Turbinado
sugar. It looks like fat mini cubed crystals in different variations of a
clearish brown color; I find it sold cheapest at West Indian markets, and in
bulk at health food stores. Never ever use white sugar, regular brown
sugar from American grocery stores (it’s just white sugar with molasses added
into it), or high fructose cornsyrup. They’re drugs. it’s like crack.
They are addictive, and immediately weakens the immune system.
FLOUR: Stay away from all white flour, bleached or
unbleached. Only use whole grain flour. Too be honest, in
RICE & PASTA: Stay away from white pasta and
white rice. Brown Rice is the best; actually brown basmati rice is my
favorite. The best kinds of pasta to use are spelt, kamut or corn
pasta. Once again, whole wheat grown in
BRAAG’S LIQUID AMINO ACID: Bragg’s Liquid Amino Acid is a
low sodium product. It has a salty-like flavor, made from soybean
protein. Bragg’s should be used instead of soy sauce; it is healthier,
and tastes almost the same. Bragg’s is also good to cook with because it
is amino acids, which are the building blocks of protein.
THE GREENERY OF YAH: Fresh and raw fruits and
vegetables are delicious, beautiful and bountifully healthy. The more
raw the better. The more green the better(get that chlorophyll
on). And the more colors the better; literally, please taste the
rainbow. Fresh fruits and vegetables should be the majority of one’s diet
and they come in variations with a righteous vengeance
purple, white, yellow, red, green, blue, orange, black, brown, etc. Eat
them all. Please do not overcook your vegetables; you loose a lot of
important nutrients that way. Unless you’re making soup, or plan to drink to
left over liquid, do not cook them in large amounts in water, because most
people don’t drink the left over liquid, which you should, because it is full
of healthy good stuff.
SEA VEGETABLES: Sea weeds and sea vegetables
are the bomb diggidy. They are extra green (get that chlorophyll on),
full of important nutrients, and come from the water. They have much
vitamin B12, which many long-time vegetarians seem to lack due to the spraying
of pesticides and chemicals in the soil and on the skin of fruits and
vegetables. If you have a taste for fish, but you don’t want to eat fish,
seaweed is the sweet spot. For real, for real. What more in the
life of green can we ask for. Some seaweeds & seaveggies are nori,
dulse, spirulina, kelp, arame, agar agar, kombu, irish moss, wakame, etc.
TUBERS: Tubers are the bomb. Those are things
like yams, potatoes, sweet potatoes, cassava(yucca), dasheen, daikon,
batatas. They are roots and please do make them a regular part of your
diet. They make you fit, strong – build you up, aid in digestion,
repairing the body. Eat them all.
WHOLE GRAINS: Whole grains are good. Eat
them. Some are kamut, spelt, oats, quinoa, rye, barley, amaranth,
etc. Stay away from white flour, white bread and white pasta.
NUTS & BEANS: Some nuts and many seeds are good. Almonds and
pistachios are the best type of nuts, and they happen to be in scripture, go
figure; these are great. Sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds are
great too. Nut and seed milk is great. Try to get these unsalted,
or salt them with sea salt. They are full of vitamins, minerals, iron,
etc. Too many heavy nuts like walnuts & pecans are not
good; they make the blood acidic.
MILK: The best kinds of milk to buy are Almond Milk and
Coconut Milk. Too much soy is no good for the bodies of black people in
particular. In this day and age, soy milk is better than cow’s milk.
CHEESE: Too much cheese is no good. It
disrupts the digestive system and it causes excess mucus in the body, which
lead to formation of dis-ease and ailments. It’s fattening in a bad
way. Try to be minimal in the consumption of cheese.
MEATS: Unclean meats are definitely a no-no
(see Deut. 14:8 and Lev. 11:7,8). Pork, duck, goose, shark, and any
creature that comes from the sea that is not a fish with fins and scales are
examples of these no-no’s. Clean meats are described as those with split
hooves that chew the cud, and fish that have fins and scales: Examples of
some of these are chicken, goat, lamb, beef and fish: whiting, flounder,
porgies, red snapper, salmon, tilapia. In this country, in this day in
age especially, it is healthier. Not to eat meat at all. If one
feels that they must, I recommend going strictly with fish; it comes from the
water, principles of wisdom: fish is naturally the healthiest; you and
cleanest of meats. No foods in this nation are completely clean, but the
meat industry in
PROCESSED SOY-“MEAT” PRODUCTS (FAKE
MEATS) & TOFU
As far as we know the lightest of the
processed soy is tofu (which is soy-bean curd), and TVP (texurized vegetable protein,
which is soy flour chunks). All the others are soy hotdog, soy burgers,
soy cheese, soy chicken, soy fish, etc. They are processed, so buy the
ones with the most natural ingredients. These are okay for people who are
in transition from a meat to a non-meat diet. I would recommend people
not to eat too much of it, because it is a processed food. I would
recommend long time vegetarian who already haven’t, to keep consumption of
these are a bare minimal, and think about weaning off of it. Don’t eat
too much tofu and TVP either. Excessive soy is not very healthy for the
bodies of black peoples; too much soy products is heavy, causes mucus and
acidic blood. Eat it in moderation.
Notes of Food Wisdom ***
Just because we know
healthy alternatives, doesn’t mean that we can just freely overdose on sea
salt, turbinado sugar and tofu. Balance is a beautiful thing, and we must
even practice to art of balance in what we eat.
The body usually craves familiar foods that contain some element of what you
need in it. Introduce yourself to an array of healthy foods so that you
develop healthy cravings when in need.
Stay away from fast foods and packaged foods. Keep it to a minimum.
You never know the hygiene rituals of those who prepared it, and you never
really know what’s in it because you weren’t there. The best is
homemade. Cook your own food.
Keep it simple if you will, but just
cook your own food.
Frozen vegetables are better than canned vegetables. Neither can compare to
fresh vegetables
fresh veggies (and fruits) is where it’s at: all the vitamins, minerals
and live enzymes, yum.
Do not overdose on sweets, even if they’re vegan, eat them in moderation.
If you have a bad sweet tooth, try lot of fresh fruit and herbal tea sweetened
with raw honey.
Stay away from processed foods and always read labels. Know what’s going
into your body. Your body is your temple on this Earth. It is a
gift from the Creator. If you don’t feel right about it, don’t eat
it. If you don’t understand the word science on the label, it’s probably
not all that good for you. If it is good for you, they usually put it in

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
“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:
ISRAELITE
UNDER GOD’S
LAW
“Thus saith the Lord GOD;
Behold, I will take the children of
from among the heathen, whither they be gone,
and will gather them on every side, and bring them into
their own land:
“And I will
make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of
and one
king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither
shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all:
“Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols,
nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions:
but I will save them out of all their dwellingplaces, wherein they have
sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their
God.”
Ezekiel 37:21 – 23
"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 24:7
Have we got a choice in
the matter?
July 10,
2008
As we well know, that which the GOD of
“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 31:9 - 11
"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.
"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 31:12,16,17
Therefore, since that is a
definite given, we must attempt to come together as “One Stick” and form an
“Israelite Alliance” and walk in GOD’s Judgments and observe to do HIS LAW and
without altering HIS Walk of life.
Under these profound
circumstances, I am suggesting that an Israelite Alliance be established among
the SEED of Jacob in order that we will prepare and ready ourselves for the
time of our return home. However, please
allow me to make one thing perfectly clear.
I recall the times that
families arrived in
This time when Israelites
return, we must be much more organized.
Even before Israelites leave the lands of their captors, they should be
in an organized movement in order that the Exodus will be without serious incidents. Thus, there must be preparation before our
Exodus, and do know that there will be a great return, as Our GOD does not lie.
“But ye, O mountains of
There must be “he
goats” knowledgeable of the GOD of Israel and HIS Law in place and in the Land
ready to nourish the flocks of Israelites with GOD’s Truth who are destined to
come:
“The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light:
they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death,
upon them
hath the light shined.”
Isaiah 9:2
However, please
allow me to make one thing perfectly clear.
No one person, not a thousand people, and not a million people,
Israelite or Gentile, will be responsible for this Great Exodus. This Second Exodus will be another Wondrous
Work of the Most High GOD of Israel, and HE ALONE will be given all the honor,
all the Glory, all the Majesty, and all the Praise for causing the Nation of
Israel's return. This Exodus will be
like none other, not like the one out of Ancient Egypt and certainly not like
the one that left out of the
We will be
responsible for becoming the people that the CREATOR GOD of Israel will create
– that male and female HE Blessed in Genesis First Chapter, not
Adam and Eve (HE cursed them), but that "Great Nation" the GOD of
Israel told Moses about. We will also be
responsible for other matters as well…
- We must first and foremost join in a Covenant to
be obedient to the GOD of Israel’s LAW and HIS WORD to HIS Prophets, just as
our forebears who Feared the GOD of Israel did so long ago.
“And the king…made a covenant before the LORD,
to walk after the LORD, and to keep his
commandments
and his testimonies and his statutes with all
their heart and all their soul,
to perform the words of this covenant that
were written in this book.
And all the people stood to the covenant.”
II Kings 23:3
“And Jehoiada made a covenant between him, and
between all the people,
and between the king,
that they should be the LORD'S people.”
II
Chronicles 23:16
“And the king went up into
the house of the LORD, and all the men of
and the inhabitants of
and all the people, great and small: and he read in their
ears all the words of the book of the covenant that was found in the house of
the LORD.
And the king stood in his place,
and made a covenant before the LORD, to walk after the LORD,
and to keep his commandments, and his testimonies, and his
statutes,
with all his heart, and with all his soul, to perform the
words of the covenant
which are written in this book. And he caused all that were present in
and
Benjamin to stand to it.
And
the inhabitants of
the
God of their fathers.”
II Chronicles 34:30 – 32
"…the
people, the priests, the Levites, the porters, the singers, the Nethinims,
and
all they that had separated themselves from the people of the lands unto the
law of God,
their
wives, their sons, and their daughters, every one having knowledge,
and
having understanding; They clave to
their brethren, their nobles, and entered into a curse,
and
into an oath, to walk in God's law, which was given by Moses the servant of
God,
and
to observe and do all the commandments of the LORD our Lord,
and
his judgments and his statutes; "
Nehemiah 10:28,29
- Governors (Jeremiah 30:21) should be set up in
each Community/State/Country to expedite classes on GOD’s Book of the Law. The LAW should be studied from Genesis
through to Deuteronomy weekly throughout the year. A weekly schedule specifically for this
purpose is already prepared in the TORAH Readings Calendar (http://www.thelawkeepers.org)
or people can write their own. The
important thing is to have classes on GOD's LAW and HIS WORD as often as
possible.
- Trustworthy and honest Leaders in the knowledge
of GOD’s LAW must be decided upon.
- Heads of each Community/State/Country should meet
Online in a Private Chat or in an assembly, if possible to discuss the progress
of their groups and any developments.
- Please note that before the Biblical Israelites
entered
- It would be wise for Israelites to separate
themselves from Messianics, Ben Ammiites, Christians, and all others who entice
people to accept beliefs that are not ordained by the GOD of Israel. Unlike our forefathers, if we want to ever
fulfill Deuteronomy 30th Chapter, we must become TORAH ONLY
Israelites and believers who trust in ONLY the Most High CREATOR GOD of
Israel.
"… 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;"
Jeremiah 18:15
Remember,
this is our last shot to be SAVED from GOD’s mass destruction upon all the evil
ones who walk HIS Earth. Hence, let’s
not welcome confusion and those who have the potential to cause it. It’s bad enough that TORAH Only Israelites do
not see eye to eye on everything, as it is.
“The LORD shall go forth as
a mighty man, he shall stir up jealousy like a man of war:
he shall cry, yea, roar; he shall prevail against his
enemies.
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 42:13,14
“…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.”
Jeremiah 10:10
If there will be Israelites
determined to live and walk GOD’s Paths of Righteousness, then for sure, Our
GOD will hear us to manifest our dreams to be established in the lands of our
forefathers. If we will be of contrite
spirits and fast together and pray with our whole heart to ask Our GOD of
Israel for forgiveness for our sins and for the sins of our forefathers and to
cause our return, HE WILL HEAR US! AND
IT WILL HAPPEN! If Our GOD of Israel
gave the Israelites from
"Yet thou in thy manifold mercies forsookest
them not in the wilderness: the pillar of the cloud departed not from them by
day, to lead them in the way; neither the pillar of fire by night, to shew them
light, and the way wherein they should go. Thou gavest also thy good spirit
to instruct them…" Nehemiah
9:19,20
We already have GOD's WORD
that HE will cause our captivity to return, and when we get our hearts together
to be obedient to HIS LAW, as it is written, HE will not fail us. HE will give us all the instruction we
need. HE will put it in our hearts, just
as HE did with all others who returned out of captivity to inhabit the Land. Just know that Our GOD of Israel awaits us!
“If they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity
of their fathers, with their trespass which they trespassed against me, and
that also they have walked contrary unto me; And that I also have walked
contrary unto them, and have brought them into the land of their enemies; if
then their uncircumcised hearts be humbled, and they then accept of the
punishment of their iniquity Then will I remember my covenant with Jacob, and
also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember;
and I will remember the land.
"But I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the heathen, that I might be their God: I am the LORD.” Leviticus 26:40 – 42,45
“If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments,
and do them;
"And 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.” Leviticus
26:3,12,13
“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:” Deuteronomy
30:1 - 4
“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
“For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye
sons of Jacob are not consumed. Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone
away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I
will return unto you, saith the LORD of hosts. But ye said, Wherein shall we
return?” Malachi 3:6,7
Another issue we must
consider is the fact that “The Daughter of Babylon” is sitting on “Death Row”. HELLOOOO! WE KNOW THIS!
We know what the GOD of Israel has determined for
These people have completely
lost their minds. This is no doubt the
attitude that the CREATOR GOD is mustering up in preparation for the fall of
this world system. Without question
these White folks believe they are entitled to own and control GOD’s Earth,
albeit according to their ways and their religions, even if they are not
ordained by the CREATOR. However, their
time is up, their mess is only mounting to astronomical heights, and unless GOD
intervenes, we will all die for sure.
White America might say they
believe in JC and “In God We Trust” that is plastered on their money,
nonetheless, the truth of the matter is that they put all their faith in their
military warfare. Neither O’Reilly nor
Levine made any mention of JC “saving” them out of this oil crisis, economic
decline, or devastation and conflagration that befalls this country.
We know that we can believe
in Our GOD of Israel, the CREATOR of this Heaven and Earth. We know that we are due to be gathered. We know this!
We know that Our GOD will give us One Heart to return to HIM to worship
HIM in Righteousness if this is our sincere desire.
"For if ye turn again unto the LORD, your
brethren and your children shall find compassion before them that lead
them captive, so that they shall come again into this land: for the LORD your
God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away his face
from you, if ye return unto him.
"Also in
“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:” Jeremiah 32:37 - 39
“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. And fields shall be bought in this land, whereof ye
say, It is desolate without man or beast; it is given into the hand of
the Chaldeans. Men shall buy fields for money, and subscribe evidences, and
seal them, and take witnesses in the land of Benjamin, and in the places
about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, and in the cities of the
mountains, and in the cities of the valley, and in the cities of the south: for
I will cause their captivity to return, saith the LORD.” Jeremiah
32:40 - 44
We have a Most Merciful GOD,
and HE has ALWAYS loved us, even though HE has judged us horrendously with
terrifying Judgments.
"And what will ye do in the day of visitation,
and in the desolation which shall come from far? to whom will ye flee
for help? and where will ye leave your glory? Without me they shall bow down
under the prisoners, and they shall fall under the slain. For all this his
anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still. " Isaiah
10:3,4
"Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid
of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will
not fail thee, nor forsake thee." Deuteronomy 31:6
"Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearken
to these judgments, and keep, and do them, that the LORD thy God shall keep
unto thee the covenant and the mercy which he sware unto thy fathers: And he
will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: he will also bless the fruit
of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil,
the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep, in the land which he
sware unto thy fathers to give thee." Deuteronomy 7:12,13
But OUR GOD of Israel will
not tolerate evil, wickedness, abominations, and disobedience to HIS Ways of
Life, as we can see given the evidence of our being scattered for the sins of
our forefathers.
"Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin; and if
not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written. And the
LORD said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of
my book." Exodus 32:32,33
"Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father,
so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall
die." Ezekiel 18:4
"Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and
say, Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith the LORD; and I will not
cause mine anger to fall upon you: for I am merciful, saith the LORD, and
I will not keep anger for ever. Only acknowledge thine iniquity, that
thou hast transgressed against the LORD thy God, and hast scattered thy ways to
the strangers under every green tree, and ye have not obeyed my voice, saith
the LORD. Turn, O backsliding children, saith the LORD; for I am married unto
you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring
you to Zion: And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall
feed you with knowledge and understanding." Jeremiah
3:12 - 15
Remember what happened in the
Book of Jonah? The GOD of Israel told
Jonah to go tell the people of
"Give ear, O my people, to my law:
incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
"That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments:" Psalm 78:1,7
And I cannot stress this
enough.
“…the people had not prepared their hearts unto the God of
their fathers.” II Chronicles 20:33
“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
“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.” Amos 5:14
I know that there are way too
many Israelites who read and study from the “New Testament”, which is certainly
against the teachings of the GOD of Israel.
Reason being, HE neither ordained nor authorized the teachings of this
“New Testament” Book and even Commanded that we not add to or diminish from HIS
LAW. Hence, the “New Testament”
teachings cannot be added to GOD’s Book of the Law.
Consider this: If GOD told the Israelites they would be
spued from the Land if they did not live and do HIS Book of the Law, then how
is Christianity, a “New Testament” religion that professes anything but GOD’s
LAW, helpful in our return to our heritage?
Why transgress GOD’s Commandment so that we cannot prosper? How long will it take us to realize that
prosperity and our return hinges on returning to Our GOD of Israel and on
living and doing HIS LAW.
“Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and do them, that ye may prosper in all that ye do.” Deuteronomy 29:9
“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 fr
