A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE LAWKEEPERS, CO.:

ALL PRAISES BE TO THE MOST HIGH YIHOVAH,

ELOHIM OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC, AND JACOB

PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME

FOR HE IS WORTHY TO BE PRAISED!!!

Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God [is] one LORD:

(Deuteronomy 6:4)

***

LET US PRAY…..

Dear FATHER hear our prayer……May the MOST HIGH YIHOVAH bless all the House of Yisrael and Yehudah and may the two houses be re-united and joined together again very soon. May our people cease from serving a false man-god and anything else that they go a whoring after and return unto the one true ELOHIM, YIHOVAH. It is good to serve the all powerful ELOHIM and YIHOVAH is HIS name. HE blesses us to enjoy the beautiful goodness of living and seeing and experiencing both the pleasures and pains of life. HE has given us HIS everlasting love and the love of family and friends. Oh let my soul rejoice and sing out loud of how merciful HE has been. HE has blessed us although we have not served HIM as HE commanded and HE has not destroyed us from the face of the earth. Forgive the iniquity of our fore-fathers and our fathers when they go astray today as they did in the past and continue to teach the children to go astray from obeying your laws, statutes, and commandments. FATHER we beg of you to be merciful in correcting us for our sinful iniquity individually and as a people so that we may have your forgiveness of sin. We ask of you FATHER to protect us from the heathen, gentile, the enemy and all those that would seek to do us hurt and harm. Bless us with the desires of our hearts; that which we are in need of; that which we know not that we need and remove from us all things that should no longer be. And we end our prayer with a Psalm:

Blessed [is] the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

But his delight [is] in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

The ungodly [are] not so: but [are] like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

AMEN!!!

Tribute to the New Moon Revised:

Earth and Moon Viewer

You can view the Moon from the Earth

Current Moon Phases

The service of this solar/lunar calendar of TORAH READINGS is by definition using the “LIGHTS” of the sun and moon, according to Genesis 1:14, to number the “days” of each month. And the dark phases of the moon cooperatively and conveniently provide a break between the months. If there were no dark phases of the moon, we would have a tough time determining when one month ended and when another would begin. Hence, because the Commandment is to use the “Lights” in the Heavens for “Signs” for seasons, days, and years, the New Moon Crescent is what provides us with our first lights of each new month and these lights continue waxing and waning until they are diminished to the dark phases. And then in two to three days, the New Moon Crescent reappears again starting the First Day of another new month.

Realizing that even some Israelites use the dark phase of the moon to call the new month, I would like to add one obvious fact. By definition, there can only be a “New Moon,” per se, after the dark phase interval and when the New Moon Crescent reappears, thus, we understand the concept of having a “New” moon.

If the dark phase of the moon begins the First Day of the month, then when the New Moon Crescent is “Sighted” that could approximately be as far into the month as the Fourth Day, i.e., the appearance of the “Light” in the Heavens could possibly fall on the Fourth Day. It makes no sense to start to count the first dark phase of the moon as being the First Day of the month, as this process disregards the use of the “Light” in the Heavens to determine our “days,” as we are Commanded to do in Genesis 1:14. Consider what King David said in I Samuel 20:24: “…when the New Moon was come…” He had to be speaking about the New Moon Crescent, as we are unable to “Sight” the appearance of the dark phase or rather see it “come.”

It’s the absence of seeing the moon for forty-eight or more hours that enables us to identify the approaching Crescent “Sign” in the Heavens (mentioned in Genesis 1:14) that recognizes the moon as being “New.” And upon “Sighting” this “New” Crescent” we distinguish it as being the “New Moon” and the time of the New Month, as well.

PLEASE NOTE: The Hebrew New Year is also determined by the “LIGHTS” in the Heavens and not by the “sighting of barley,” as some Black Hebrew Israelites and European “Jews” advocate.

***

“For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make,

shall remain before me, saith the LORD,

so shall your seed and your name remain.

“And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another,

and from one sabbath to another,

shall all flesh come to worship before me,

saith the LORD.”

Isaiah 66:22,23

START THE NEW MOON WATCH ON THE EVENINGS OF

<<< JULY 30,31 - AUGUST 1, 2011>>>

BY LOOKING IN THE “WEST” JUST ABOVE THE HORIZON.

“He appointed the moon for seasons…”

Psalm 104:19

The first “Sign” in the Heavens to provide the start of days, years and “seasons” can only begin with the “Sighting” of the New Moon Crescent - that which we can “see” in order for it to serve as a “Sign” and enable us to begin counting our days and months. Just imagine not being able to “see” the moon at all. How then could it be appointed for a “Sign” or for “seasons”?

“The natural thought might be that the moon is like a living being. It is born, grows, reaches maximum size, then fades and dies, going through all these stages in one month. Even today, we still talk of the thin crescent in the western sky as a new moon and the thin crescent in the eastern sky a month later as the old moon. Half way between is the full moon. As I explained earlier, this cycle of phases of the moon established the month as a unit of time, and the first calendars were based on this.” ISAAC ASIMOV’S GUIDE TO EARTH AND SPACE, pages 79 and 80

In that the King of Israel is supposed to be a “Righteous Judge” (II Chronicles 1:11), it stands to reason that he is also supposed to be a “Righteous Role Model.” Thus, if the King that GOD appoints over Israel observes a “feast” on the day of the New Moon, then wisdom tells the Nation of Israel to do likewise. King Saul and the anointed David observed this service (I Samuel 20th Chapter).

To their and our hurt our forefathers worshipped all manner of symbols: the sun, moon, stars, and images of gold and silver. To observe the “Sign” in the heavens as being the New Moon “Sighting” is NOT worshipping the moon, but rather it is doing as we are COMMANDED in Genesis 1:14:

“And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:”

Some people feel that the moon has no “light,” but according to GOD’s WORD to HIS Prophets, it most certainly does: Isaiah 13:10; Isaiah 30:26; Jeremiah 31:35; Ezekiel 32:7.

***

“Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob.

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

“Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed,

on our solemn feast day.

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

Psalm 81:1 – 4

(A Psalm of Asaph, the Seer –

one who should be well informed about GOD’s Ways)

“Also in the day of your gladness, and in your solemn days, and in the beginnings of your months, ye shall blow with the trumpets over your burnt offerings,

and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; that they may be to you for a memorial before your God: I am the LORD your God.”

Numbers 10:10

Contrary to the belief of some Israelites, the moon does indeed shine! Even if the Moon shines with the aid of the sun, i.e., reflects the light of the sun, IT STILL SHINES! And the fact that Scripture attests to this fact, is what’s important: Isaiah 60:19; Jeremiah 31:35; and Ezekiel 32:7. Therefore, Genesis 1:14 is proof enough that we must use the shining New Moon Crescents as “…SIGNS, AND FOR SEASONS, AND FOR DAYS, AND FOR YEARS:”

Some Israelites, along with White Jews, use the dark phase of the moon to determine the start of a new month. If the dark phase of the moon lasts for “2-3 days,” then which of these days is supposed to be the distinguishing “Sign” that determines the First Day of the month? Or do we just arbitrarily select either/or depending on the imaginations of our hearts?

On the contrary, with the use of the sighted “Sign” of the New Moon Crescent in the Heavens we eliminate any confusion as to which day IS the First Day of the month.

“So David hid himself in the field: and WHEN THE NEW MOON WAS COME, the king sat him down to eat meat.” I Samuel 20:24

At the time of the dark phases of the moon (generally 2-3 days), as previously written, there is no “moon” in SIGHT. Therefore, I Samuel 20:24 sheds more light on Genesis 1:14. “WHEN THE NEW MOON WAS COME,” is clearly telling readers that this is a reference to a visible “Moon Crescent Sighting” - the light in the firmament…i.e., the “Sign” for (lunar) days. Thus, if we are to count all the lunar days (29.5) in a month, it only makes sense to start counting from the New Moon Crescent “when the New Moon was come” and NOT from the dark phases at the end of the month, which do not emit any “sign” or “light” in the heavens.

The only problem that presents itself when using the “New Moon Sighting” to call the First Day of the month is cloud coverage, as this prevents the ability to see the New Moon Crescent. Nonetheless, when “Sighted,” one can easily distinguish the New Moon Crescent from all the other phases due to its thin sliver and its low position in the heavens. And the reason is that no two days or rather phases of the visible moon are alike. Hence, to use the New Moon Crescent as the “Sign” in the heavens, as we are COMMANDED to do for our seasons, days, and years, negates the belief that the “commandment was given to the luminaries.” The “luminaries” fulfill GOD’s Commandments: the sun shines and the moon orbits the Earth. They have no need to determine seasons, days, and years. Hence, our New Moons are obviously of more spiritual significance to the Nation of Israel than we are aware. And for sure, the TRUTH concerning them are in GOD’s WORD to HIS Prophets/Seers - not the White Jews or other Gentiles. All we need do is use wisdom, discern what’s written in Scripture, accept it, and act accordingly!

“Then Solomon offered burnt offerings unto the LORD on the altar of the LORD, which he had built before the porch,

“Even after a certain rate every day, offering according to the commandment of Moses, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the solemn feasts, three times in the year, even in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles.” II Chronicles 8:12,13

Unless there is an emergency, please try not to buy or sell on this day. Conduct all financial and business transactions prior to the day of the New Moon. Interesting enough, II Kings 4:23,24 constitutes the New Moon as being a day to seek “the man of God.” Although the New Moon is NOT a Day of Rest, Our GOD did set it aside for recognition:

“Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day.” Psalm 81:3

“And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one Sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD.” Isaiah 66:23

“…When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn?…” Amos 8:5

Probably, the Scripture that most determines and clarifies the fact that our New Moons are Feast Days is Ezekiel 45:17:

“And it shall be the prince’s part to give burnt offerings, and meat offerings, and drink offerings, in the feasts, and in the NEW MOONS, and in the Sabbaths, in ALL SOLEMNITIES of the house of Israel: he shall prepare the sin offering, and the meat offering, and the burnt offering, and the peace offerings, to make reconciliation for the HOUSE OF ISRAEL.” (Caps. are mine.)

Unequivocally, our New Moons are included in these “SOLEMNITIES” mentioned in Ezekiel 45:17.

“Likewise the people of the land shall worship at the door of this gate before the LORD in the Sabbaths [Feasts – NOT 7th Day Sabbaths*] and in the NEW MOONS.” Ezekiel 46:3 (Brackets are mine.)

Thereby, this verse justifies the First Day of each month being our “Feast” Day. It should be realized that the Feast Days that Our GOD selected (Leviticus 23rd Chapter) are “Holy Convocations,” i.e., on these days we cannot do any work. However, because King Saul observed the New Moon as a Feast Day, we have every reason to do so, as well. We also have learned that our forefathers traveled to the Temple to worship the Holy ONE on the New Moon (II Kings 4:23; Ezekiel 45:17; and Ezekiel 46:1), and when HE has HIS Temple rebuilt, then we will again be able to resume this service and worship.

When we return to our heritage and worship YIHOVAH according to HIS Ways, then we can establish our own “Calendar of the Universe,” whereby, the days of the New Moon and all GOD’s Holy Days will be recognized by the whole entire World. And I am sure that it will be the desire of the Righteous Remnant and ALL the world to make a Feast to the Most High GOD of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob/Israel every First Day of the Month.

ALSO, I believe that if Lot (Genesis 19:3) and Abraham (Genesis 21:8) can proclaim “Feasts,” then there is no stipulation for NOT establishing Feast Days, as we so desire. Therefore, to proclaim a feast to EXALT the Holy ONE of Israel on the First Day of each month is quite acceptable - given the Scripture (above) regarding worshipping Our LORD GOD of ISRAEL, Our SAVIOR, on the New Moons. We should know that throughout the Tanakh Hebrew Israelites called for “feasts” for various occasions. Therefore, we are within our rights to observe a Feast every New Moon to Our GOD, the GOD of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob/Israel. And those of us who love this WONDERFUL GOD and who choose HIM to EXALT HIM for being the ONLY LORD and SAVIOR can be at liberty to use the day of the New Moon to show forth HIS PRAISE in a “feast” and worship HIM in Jerusalem FOREVER.

“And Solomon awoke; and, behold, it was a dream. And he came to Jerusalem, and stood before the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and offered up burnt offerings, and offered peace offerings, and [he] made a feast to all his servants.”

I Kings 3:15

*Leviticus 23:24,39 (Sabbaths of Feasts)

*******

A Tribute to GOD’s “HOLY” Seventh Day Sabbath of Complete REST - HIS WEEKLY ANNIVERSARY OBSERVANCE and SIGN between HIM and Israelites for HIS CREATION of the Heavens and the Earth:

“Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath,

to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.

It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever:

for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth,

and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.”

Exodus 31:17,18

Since we know for a fact that GOD’s Holy Seventh Day Sabbath is a “Sign” between HIM and Israel, why take any chance to profane it? Every passage about the Holy Sabbath of COMPLETE Rest stands strong in support of GOD’s Commandment to abide in our places on the Seventh Day (Exodus 16:29) – ever last one of them – including the passage in Jeremiah where we are Commanded to “Take heed to yourselves, and bear no burden on the Sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem;” Jeremiah 17:21 (Please read verses 21 to 27.)

Perhaps the wise thing to do would be to define the word “burden.” But more importantly, we need to determine whether or not Exodus 16:29 is a Commandment or not. And if it is determined to be one, then we should Fear the GOD of Israel and be obedient to what HE has Commanded of us.

“But the LORD, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great power

and a stretched out arm, him shall ye fear, and him shall ye worship,

and to him shall ye do sacrifice. And the statutes, and the ordinances, and the law,

and the commandment, which he wrote for you,

he shall observe to do for ever more;

and ye shall not fear other gods.”

II Kings 17:36,37

Why must we debate that which is clearly written for us to do and for very good reason, if we will only consider and think about it? The Holy ONE wants us to be first to observe HIS weekly Anniversary of Creation, which is to keep HIS Holy Seventh day at REST, as HE did, in order that we might be REFRESHED!

“REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY, TO KEEP IT HOLY”

Exodus 20:8

“See, for that the LORD hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.” Exodus 16:29

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

“Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you an holy day, a sabbath of rest to the LORD: whosoever doeth work therein shall be put to death.” Exodus 35:1,2

“Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation [“HOLY DAY”]; ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings.” Leviticus 23:3

“Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death. Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant. It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.” Exodus 31:15 - 17

“And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.” Genesis 2:2,3

Significantly, in the beginning when the Holy ONE of Israel established this Sabbath Day of COMPLETE REST and when HE clearly COMMANDED the Children of Israel in the Wilderness to observe this Holy Day, HE MADE NO EXCEPTIONS!

If “ALL” GOD’s COMMANDMENTS are sure, then for sure, we must give credence to Exodus 16:29 and abide in our places on GOD’s HOLY Seventh Day of Complete REST as we are COMMANDED TO DO!

“He hath shewed his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen. The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure.” Psalm 111:7

GOD’s Holy Seventh Day Sabbath of REST is not only one of HIS Greatest WORKS of all time, but this Holy Day is an extraordinary “SIGN” between this Most High GOD, the CREATOR and HIS Chosen People, the Children of Israel! This Seventh Day also marks the Anniversary of GOD ending the Creations of the Heavens, Earth, man, and all that is therein.

“Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.” Genesis 2:1 - 3

“And he said unto them, This is that which the LORD hath said, Tomorrow is the rest of the holy sabbath unto the LORD: bake that which ye will bake today, and seethe that ye will seethe; and that which remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning.

“See, for that the LORD hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.” Exodus 16:23,29

“And the LORD said unto Moses, Come up to me into the mount, and be there: and I will give thee tables of stone, and a law, and commandments which I have written; that thou mayest teach them.” Exodus 24:12

“Behold, I have taught you statutes and judgments, even as the LORD my God commanded me, that ye should DO SO IN THE LAND whither ye go to possess it.” Deuteronomy 4:5 (Caps. are mine.)

CONSIDER ALSO the fact that the CREATOR GOD of Israel only Commanded that we go to Jerusalem “THREE TIMES in the year”. Had the Holy ONE wanted us to travel to Jerusalem on HIS Holy Sabbath Day of COMPLETE REST, HE would have Commanded that, as well. Thus, given Exodus 16:29, we have to realize, understand, and accept the fact that it was never HIS intention for us to travel and/or leave our places on HIS most Holy Seventh Day.

“Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto me in the year. Thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened bread: (thou shalt eat unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded thee, in the time appointed of the month Abib; for in it thou camest out from Egypt: and none shall appear before me empty:) And the feast of harvest, the firstfruits of thy labours, which thou hast sown in the field: and the feast of ingathering, which is in the end of the year, when thou hast gathered in thy labours out of the field. Three times in the year all thy males shall appear before the Lord GOD.” Exodus 23:14 - 17

“Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before the LORD thy God in the place which he shall choose; in the feast” Deuteronomy 16:16

There is no Scripture indicating that Israelites traveled to Jerusalem on GOD’s HALLOWED SEVENTH DAY.

THE PLACE THAT OUR GOD OF ISRAEL CHOSE IS THE HOLY CITY JERUSALEM.

The Israelite Way of Life was set in stone in the Wilderness, as to how we are Commanded to prepare to live according to ALL GOD’s LAW, as well as for HIS Holy Seventh Day Sabbath of Complete REST, i.e., how we are supposed to keep it, as well as the consequences for profaning it. And there are no exceptions.

CONCERNING “HOLY CONVOCATION”

The issue stemming from the meaning of “Holy Convocation” written in Leviticus 23^rd Chapter is real, and the interpretation is grossly misunderstood. “Holy Convocation” does not mean “To Gather.” And the sin committed by traveling and gathering on the CREATOR’s Holy Sabbath of Complete REST has grave consequences (Exodus 31:12 - 18).

Conclusive evidence that “holy convocation” DOES NOT mean to assemble is provided in the passage on Passover. In Exodus 12:16 we are told that Passover is a “holy convocation” but yet, we are Commanded to observe this High Holy Day with our immediate families and only to join with another family if one’s members are too few for the lamb (Exodus 12:4). This proves without a doubt that “holy convocation” cannot mean to assemble, but rather to keep the holy days “HOLY.” Some call attention to the fact that because Israelites were Commanded to ”…turn in the morning and go into their tents” (Deuteronomy 16:5-7) that this is proof of an assembly. Those Israelite families that joined with others are the ones GOD Commanded to return to their tents.

The Holy ONE of Israel DOES NOT contradict HIMSELF! HE would not COMMAND us to “Rest” on the Sabbath Day of Rest and also Command us to “abide ye every man in your place on the seventh day,” and then confuse us by telling us to “assemble” on the “rest of the holy sabbath unto the LORD.” This would make absolutely no sense whatsoever. Therefore, if the Holy ONE of Israel said don’t bear a burden on the Sabbath Day of Rest (Jeremiah 17:21,22) and that our asses (used for travel) had to also rest, then for sure we have to “abide in our places…on the seventh day.” Thus, using our cars and paying tolls and public transportation on GOD’s Holy Seventh Day of Rest is absolutely forbidden! And walking to the Temple or to any meeting place was and still is out of the question all because GOD’s Seventh Day is specifically to be kept as a DAY of “COMPLETE REST” - Shabatone (as is written in Hebrew).

The wise, obedient ones understand the great importance of observing this Seventh Day of Rest exactly as GOD Commanded and will not add to or diminish from this Law of the “Blessed,” “Sanctified,” and “Holy” Seventh Day Sabbath.

QUESTIONS ON “OLD TESTAMENT” BIBLE TRIVIA TO PONDER:

QUESTIONS TWO:

1. “Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah.” Isaiah 1:9

What in this verse is so serious that it deserves our undivided attention at all times?

***

2. “And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD, Israel is my son, even my firstborn:” Exodus 4:22

How did the Children of Israel become GOD’s Firstborn? Notice that Exodus 4:22 was written before GOD’s Passover.

***

Q and A (QUESTION AND ANSWER)

“Ye shall have one manner of law, as well for the stranger, as for one of your own country: for I am the LORD your God.” Leviticus 24:22

The CREATOR GOD of Israel is a most wise GOD and SAVIOR. Why does it make sense for Our GOD of Israel to Command and require “One MANNER of LAW for Israelites and for the Stranger”? All that HE Commanded and required of us to do in Righteousness was designed and initially introduced in the BEGINNING when HE Created mankind.

Unlike religions invented by man that differ in design, restrictions, and worship and subject to change, GOD’s Book of the Law, I.e., HIS Ways of Righteousness, are consistent throughout the “Old Testament”. All GOD’s Angels, Prophets, and Kings of Israel and other men of Righteousness stood firm on HIS LAW and HIS Commandments, so that Israelites might Fear the CREATOR GOD of Israel and live and do all that HE has Commanded of us.

Because Christianity has multiple Christian denominations - all determining different ways to worship, people are left wondering how GOD can order all these religions and how by belief in them all can get people to Heaven. First of all, having all these religions presented before the world is none more than confusion. Second of all, not one of them will get anyone into GOD’s Heaven. Nowhere in the Bible is it found that the GOD of Israel will open HIS Holy Heaven to the likes of mankind who has proven to be corrupt, disobedient, and wicked since the BEGINNING.

Wisdom is following GOD’s LAW and WORD that HE has said we must observe to a “thousand generations”. And if we are obedient and will observe “One MANNER of LAW for Israelites and for the Stranger” as is required of us, then we cannot go wrong.

“Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;” Deuteronomy 7:9

“When all Israel is come to appear before the LORD thy God in the place which he shall choose, thou shalt read this law before all Israel in their hearing. Gather the people together, men, and women, and children, and thy stranger that is within thy gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear the LORD your God, and observe to do all the words of this law:” Deuteronomy 31:11,12

“Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with thee in the days of thy youth, and I will establish unto thee an everlasting covenant.” Ezekiel 16:60

“Yet say ye, Why? doth not the son bear the iniquity of the father? When the son hath done that which is lawful and right, and hath kept all my statutes, and hath done them, he shall surely live. The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.” Ezekiel 18:19,20

ONE WAY OF RIGHTEOUSNESS will suffice. Multiple ways of worship breeds confusion, fraud, and deception, and worse than that, false worship will prevail preventing the reign of GOD’s Truth!

THE FUTURE OF HEALTH CARE:

HOW DIFFICULT IS IT TO CHANGE?

Since the Obama administration is busy attempting to "reform health care", I'd like to canvass those here at The LawKeepers Website to elicit your opinions and/or suggestions about how you think changing the system would work. I would also like for viewers to look at Michael Moore's "Sicko" documentary for some insight into the present American Health Care System.

We all are responsible for safeguarding our health and the health of those of our immediate families. And in the coming days and years we will face some real health challenges. Please send your comments and ideas in so we can discuss health and health care to find real solutions.

I'd like to know about people's experiences with either health care practitioners, e.g., doctors, nurses, Physician Assistants (PA's) or APN (Advanced Practice Nurses), Registered Nurses, Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNS), Certified Nurses Assistants (CNA's, Nurses Aides), Medical Assistants or experiences while patients are in hospitals, clinics., etc.

In the coming years we will see more and more "walk in" type clinics run by either privately run or individually controlled medical care.

I look forward to receiving your opinions and concerns.

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

Safe and Essential Patient Care:

By

J.E. Porter MSN RN Clinical Specialist

Health Promotion and Wellness

Imagine this scene if you will. A patient, perhaps a loved one, is on the operating table under anesthesia when they begin to wheeze, the face begins to redden, oxygen and blood pressure levels begin to drop dramatically. The anesthesiologist, has noted that the safety expert suggests to the surgeon that replacing his latex gloves is required because the patient is exhibiting signs of a deadly latex allergy. The surgeon disregards the request and continues the surgery stating that this was not the case. The anesthesiologist administers necessary emergency medications and the patient stabilizes. However, after about an hour into the surgery the patient has the same symptoms again, and the anesthesiologist rather tersely advises the doctor to replace his gloves but is ignored again. Yet, another dose of emergency medicine is given. It‘s not until the anesthesiologist advises the circulating nurse to notify the hospital president that the surgeon in anger replaces his gloves. Tests later prove that this patient indeed had experienced an allergic reaction to latex.

How many patients have been harmed or died as a result of arrogance and ignorance because doctors are reluctant to take the advice of others in critical situations? This is the hospital environment/culture you enter when treated in a hospital environment.

According to Peter Pronovost, M.D., Ph. D., and Eric Vohr^[1]. this types of drama takes place not only in prestigious hospitals such as Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, MD, but any hospital anywhere in the US on a daily basis. Would you want to experience this situation as a patient or have this happen to a loved one? I don’t think so.

Because of the culture within hospitals and other health care facilities many lives are jeopardized or lost as a result of either doctor incompetence, medical errors, or lack of cooperation among health care practitioners. This should not continue, and we as health care consumers should not tolerate it.

On any given day patients are exposed to unnecessary infections, medical errors or other unnecessary infractions of patient safety and care. How can we as consumers prevent such occurrences to ourselves and to our loved ones? We can prevent this by arming ourselves with vital information not only about ourselves but the institutions and the people who we depend upon to prevent, maintain, or manage our care.

First, we need to find out everything we can about our own personal health. Do we have drug or food allergies like latex, penicillin, sulfur, peanuts, iodine, or fish.. How about fruit allergies? In 2008 while in Africa I discovered I was allergic to Mangoes. Mangoes are plentiful in this tropical environment, and I ate them as dessert on a daily basis.

It wasn’t until I awakened one night experiencing violent itching and thinking I was being attacked by mosquitoes that I realized that something I had eaten might have caused this reaction. I soon found out the cause. I waited three days. then ate one mango before going to bed for the night. I experienced the same symptoms. Many people with allergies to mangoes not only experience the itching but can also develop massive blisters that might be mistaken for shingles or other viral diseases. There are many websites devoted solely to information people have shared about their own experience with mango allergies.

Knowing your allergies and informing others can alert others to the type of care you may require as a result of exposure. This information can be stored or displayed on a bracelet or necklace. Another great way would be to put any vital health information on a flash drive to be worn around the neck, carried to the hospital to download information or to share with family.

How should we contend with arrogant doctors or nurses?

Let them know that you deserve to be treated with respect and will not tolerate less than this. When they know that you are serious about how you expect to be treated they are less likely to be disrespectful. Personnel should introduce themselves, refer to their professional title, whether a Practical Nurse (LPN/LVN), a registered nurse (RN) APN RN) (Advanced Practice Nurse), Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA), Registered Nurse Assistant (RNA) Nurse Supervisor, Nurse Manager. Respiratory Therapist, Physical Therapist (P.T.), Phlebotomist (one who draws blood specimens), EKG technician, MD (Medical Doctor), DO (Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine), Intern, resident or P.A. (Physician‘s Assist). Know who they are, the positions they hold, and their practice limitations and abilities. Do your homework. Ask them! A professional should not be intimidated if you do.

If you are scheduled for surgery, do you know what type of procedure is scheduled? Do you know who will perform it and the intended outcome? Do you know whether this procedure will place you in a particular unit of the hospital afterwards such as ICU or Intermediate Care or even on a regular floor? Your care is determined where you will be placed following surgery.

The types of care needed determines whether you need to be in either an Intensive Care Unit or ICU, Intermediate Care, or on a regular floor under the proper category such as Medical Surgical, OB-GYN, Who will be responsible for your care? And what types of expertise is needed to care for you? Request those who care for you to wash their hands upon entering your room and after caring for you. Infections are often spread by the hands and hand washing have proved to be the most effective way of decreasing infections.

If you are in need of support at any stage during your medical care process, request a patient advocate or better yet request that a family member or a health care person with knowledge about hospital culture accompany you.

Whether it‘s an Ambulatory Care Facility (ACF), Community or Hospital Clinic, Walk In Medical Care Facility, Doctors Office, or Hospital, you have the right to be treated with respect and competent care by a professional who is not intimidated by your concern for a safe outcome for yourself or others.

Natural Antibacterial Herbs

Posted by: "Andrew Pacholyk"

There are hundreds of plants used all over the world, which are used in herbal medicine as treatments for bacterial infections. Here are some of the most accessible and reliable.

Bayberry (Myrica cerifera): stimulating the flow of bile, and also exhibits antibacterial activity. Use this herb externally as a poultice.

Cinnamon (Cinnamomum zeylanicum): is an ancient herbal remedy found in the Chinese Materia Medica. Various terpenoids found in the volatile oil including eugenol and cinnamaldehyde account for cinnamon�s medicinal effects. Both cinnamaldehyde and cinnamon oil vapors are potent anti-fungal compounds. Antibacterial actions have been found in cinnamon.

Cranberries (Vaccinium macrocarpon): The medicinal benefits of cranberries have been touted in news reports for years, recognizing the small, four air-chambered berry for its ability to protect against urinary tract infections. However, new research suggests that not only does the cranberry, available in both white and red varieties, fight against bacterial infections in the urinary tract, but it is also associated with potentially lowering LDL cholesterol and slowing cancer cell growth.

Eucalyptus (eucalyptus globulus): It's been known for some time that extracts of eucalyptus oil inhibit the growth of some bacteria. Antibacterial activities of eucalyptus globulus leaf extract against isolated bacteria were investigated by determining minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC). methods. It is concluded that eucalyptus globules leaf extract is effective against isolated bacteria.

Garlic (Allium sativum): The ancient Egyptians attached great importance to garlic, and used it as a money exchange. Folklore has always claimed that garlic is a great healer, and there is actually a lot of scientific evidence to support that claim. Allicin is the compound responsible for the healing benefits of garlic. Garlic's antibacterial characteristics have been tested even against drug-resistant varieties, and shown to have therapeutic activity. The sulfides in garlic may work in a way similar to that of penicillin and sulfa drugs, to counter the growth of bacteria.

Goldenseal (Hydrastis canadenis): Goldenseal is a native American medicinal plant introduced to early settlers by Cherokee Indians who used it as a wash for skin diseases, wounds, and for sore, inflamed eyes. Its roots are bright yellow, therefore, this is how it gets it's name. Goldenseal root has acquired a considerable reputation as a natural antibiotic and as a remedy for various gastric and genitourinary disorders.

Myrrh (Commiphora Myrrha): Myrrh is a gum resin that has been used since ancient times. The Egyptians used it to embalm bodies, and in biblical times it was one of the herbs brought by the Three Wise Men. Myrrh constituents are antibacterial and antifungal, exhibiting activity against e.coli, staphylococcus, and candida albicans, an overgrowth of which leads to yeast infections. Its antiseptic and disinfectant properties make it useful as a wash on cuts, burns and skin infections. Gargle several drops of tincture in water to relieve a sore throat. Use diluted myrrh as a mouthwash or apply the powder on the mucus membranes inside of the mouth to treat mouth sores and thrush.

Olive Leaf Extract: is an extraordinary herbal antibacterial as well as, antiviral extract. Obtained from specific parts of the olive tree (Olea europaea), this new proprietary phytochemical extract is not only safe, but is also a nontoxic immune system builder. Olive Leaf Extract has been used clinically in its present form for over a year.

Tea Tree (Melaleuca altermifolia): is the extracted oil from Melaleuca altermifolia tree native to Australia. The oil is extracted by steam distillation from the leaves of the tree and has been used by Australian aborigines for several centuries. Now the tree is grown all over the world for its medicinal properties. As an antibacterial agent, tea tree oil is said to alleviate hemorrhoids, and treat candidiasis and other vaginal infections. As an antifungal, tea tree oil has been used for years in the treatment of athlete's foot, ringworm, and nail infections.

Turmeric (Curcuma longa): Curcumin, the yellow color pigment of turmeric, is produced industrially from turmeric oleoresin. The healing properties of turmeric have made it a most sought after ingredient in cosmetics and drugs, as the leaf oil and extract can also be used as sunscreens and bio-pesticides. It is well recognized as the best anti-oxidant, hypoglycemic, colorant, antiseptic and wound healer.

Yellow Dock (Rumex crispus): has been used for hundreds of years for its astringent properties, treating a variety of skin problems, including boils, rashes, blemishes and burns. Yellow dock is valued as an antibacterial agent and even more as one of the best available sources of iron. Yellow dock's high iron content makes it beneficial for treating anemia and pregnant women. Yellow Dock also contains vitamin C, vitamin A, calcium and phosphorous.

Wheatgrass Health Benefits

Before I get onto where and how to get wheatgrass, I’m going to list out the four main reasons why I love wheatgrass so much:

Health Benefit of Wheatgrass #1: Wheatgrass Builds Blood: Many health experts including Dr Young (pH Miracle) and Steve Meyerowitz (Nature’s Finest Medicine) have highlighted that the chlorophyll molecule in wheatgrass is almost identical to the haemoglobin molecule in human blood. The only difference is that the central element in chlorophyll is magnesium and in haemoglobin it is iron.

Due to this inherent similarity the human body can easily transform chlorophyll into haemoglobin increasing the red blood cell count as well as the blood’s capacity to deliver oxygen and other nutrients to the body’s cells (Hagiwara, 1985) .

Chlorophyll has been shown to build red blood cells quickly, normalise blood pressure by dilating the blood pathways though out the body, destroy poisonous carbon dioxide, release free oxygen and promote higher metabolism and stimulated enzyme systems. On top of all of these benefits, consuming chlorophyll from wheatgrass is a highly effective way to alkalise the blood and energise the body!

Health Benefit of Wheatgrass #2: Wheatgrass Cleanses the Body: Wheatgrass is an extremely beneficial food in terms of both its cleansing capabilities. The contents of wheatgrass juice and powder (green drink) are reported to be within the region of approximately 100 separate elements with scientists dubbing it a ‘complete food’. According to ‘The Wheatgrass Book’ (Wigmore, 1985), just 140g of fresh wheatgrass offers the same nutritional value as over 3kg’s of fresh green vegetables!

Wheatgrass is a great source of vitamins B, C, E and carotene which are hugely effective in destroying and eliminating free radicals and cleansing the body. Wheatgrass is also highly regarded for its ability to cleanse the blood, organs and gastrointestinal tract.

Because it is also high in saponin, wheatgrass offers excellent support to the lymphatic system, helping to carry away hundreds and thousands of toxins from the cells of the body. Kulvinskas (Survival into the 21st Century, 1975) wheatgrass helps to ‘detoxify the body by increasing the elimination of hardened mucous, crystallised acids and solidified, decaying faecal matter…It is the fastest, surest way to eliminate internal waste and provide an optimum nutritional environment’.

These are just some of the cleansing benefits of wheatgrass, and I have barely scratched the surface with regards to listing its nutritional content. Put most simply, whether you are looking to undertake a formal cleanse, or simply try to add more nutrition to your diet – these reasons alone are enough to consider adding wheatgrass to your daily lifestyle.

Health Benefit of Wheatgrass #3: Wheatgrass Has High Amino Acid Content:: You may have heard the expression before that – amino acids are the building blocks of protein. They are absolutely essential to our growth and cell regeneration. It is the astonishingly high amino acid content in wheatgrass that is leading to many bodybuilders and gym-goers incorporating fresh or powdered wheatgrass juice into their daily routine.

Wheatgrass juice is a complete protein and contains, amongst others, the following amino acids: arginine, serine, absenisic, lysine, aspartic acid, glycine, alanine, methionine, leucine, tryptophane, phenylalanine, and valine.

Health Benefit of Wheatgrass #4: Wheatgrass Fights and Protects Against Illness: Organic wheatgrass powders and juices are an extremely effective way of boosting the body’s immune system to fight against and recover from illnesses and ailments. Wheatgrass is a great source of beta carotene, contains most of the B vitamins and vitamins C, E, H and K, and also contains over 90 different minerals and 19 amino acids. It also contains several active enzymes which play a major role in breaking down fats, undertaking biological functions and assist hugely in weight loss. Of the 90 minerals found, many of these are very alkalising and include calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium and iron.

Many of the health benefits of wheatgrass stem from the fact that it is a living food. Being highly anti-bacterial, consuming wheatgrass will help to alkalise and detoxify the lymph and blood cells, helping the body to rebuild and transport toxins out of the body quickly and effectively.

Again, coming back to the chlorophyll content of wheatgrass – this can protect the body from carcinogens more effectively than any other food. Studies conducted on animals have shown that wheatgrass consumption has reduced the absorption of a number of very serious carcinogens whilst strengthening cells, detoxifying the liver and neutralising polluting elements within the blood.

But I thought wheat was acidifying?

Good question. The simple answer is: wheat is acidifying. The fully grown, harvested, stored, milled and prepared wheat plant is highly acidifying. But as with almost every grain, when sprouted it is very alkaline, and this is certainly the case with wheatgrass.

Do not worry about wheatgrass being acidifying, it really, really isn’t!

Where to Get Wheatgrass

There are three main ways to incorporate wheatgrass into your life. There are pro’s and con’s (sort of) of each, and getting a bit of each is probably best!

Wheatgrass Supplements

Wheatgrass (and other grass) supplements are powdered greens, condensed down, that you simply mix with water and drink! There are many, many, grass supplements out there so make sure you pick one that works for you. Here are my main tips to make sure you’re getting a good one, and after that it is really down to taste!

· Make sure it is organic

· Make sure it is powdered juice, not just powdered plant

· Make sure it isn’t heat-dried

· Make sure there are no fruits or sweeteners added

· Make sure it doesn’t contain spirulina or any other algae, which are acidifying

·

It is also good to aim for a mix of grasses, alongside wheatgrass to get an even wider range of health benefits.

Here are my top three wheatgrass supplements:

Sweet Wheat: This is the original and probably the best organic freeze dried wheat grass juice powder on the market.

Contains ONLY the juice and provides an extraordinary balance of all the vital nutrients and minerals the body can use. One teaspoon of Sweet Wheat is roughly equivalent to one to two ounces of fresh wheatgrass juice. One ounce of wheatgrass juice equals the nutritional equivalent of 1.5 pounds of organic vegetables.

Dr Young’s Power Plants: Dr Young is the world authority on the alkaline diet, so when he makes supplements, you tend to sit up and notice. This is a 4th generation green drink (he created the 1st too – SuperGreens) containing high quantities of wheatgrass, alongside barley grass, shave grass, dog grass and the powdered juice of vegetables such as broccoli, celery, spinach and more.

This stuff works, it gives you a real buzz and it tastes light, fresh and summery!

MegaGreens: a highly concentrated blend of 34 superfoods, 17 amino acids, vegetables, minerals, vitamins, omega oils, enzymes and more that will completely revolutionise your training. The dense hit of nutrients from each serve delivers instant and sustained energy and provides your body with the tools it needs for weight loss, muscle growth, rehydration, repair and replenishment.

By infusing your body with easily absorbed nutrients, omega oils & amino acids (and with only 3 calories per serve) Mega Greens gives your body the fuel it needs to burn fat and build muscle.

Fresh Wheatgrass

Buying your wheatgrass fresh from a juice bar is also a great way to get your wheatgrass health fix! Make sure they snip and juice the grass right in front of you though! I’ve seen some sneaky bars in Sydney having it delivered, already juiced! Pretty much all of the benefits are gone if you don’t have it fresh.

Having your wheatgrass freshly juiced is a great way to feel the instant energy hit, it is so noticeable!

Growing Your Own Wheatgrass

And finally, you can grow and juice your own! This is great fun, not all that time consuming, and not all that expensive either! All you need are:

· Some space

· Wheatgrass seeds

· Sprouting trays or an automatic sprouter (such as an EasyGreen)

· Patience

· A pair of scissors

· A masticating or manual juicer

In that order.

Note, you can’t grow wheatgrass in a standard sprouter (such as this) and you can’t juice wheatgrass in a standard juicer (such as this). But having said that, the masticating juicers (such as this) are far better quality in my opinion anyway, you you’re better off buying one of these anyway.

So there you have it! Can you think of any reason not to start having your daily wheatgrass juice? The health benefits and ease of use make it a pretty simple decision!

REGARDING OTHER MATTERS OF HEALTH AND EXERCISE…

As always, before starting ANY exercise program and/or diet, check with your doctor and get his approval. This is all about being safe rather than sorry.

And if you feel you are suffering from depression, do know that there are medications available for you. Don’t be embarrassed; this malady goes with the RAT RACE. Therefore, see your doctor, and feel better fast!

Have you started that “Walking” for weight loss and healthy heart routine, yet? There is no excuse for not going it alone, joining with someone, or even forming a group to take that walk at least five (5) times a week and for 40 minutes minimum. So, stop procrastinating and get started. Walk to the tune of Scripture or your favorite upbeat music. And if you prefer the quiet, walk and meditate with the Most High. Just make sure that you make time for your body and soul. You’ll see and feel the difference after just two weeks.

THE 52-WEIGHT-LOSS DIET PLAN

Recently, I heard on the news that soon people will be spending a dollar out of every five for medical expenses. But if we are healthy, we don’t have to fall prey to this reckoning. As we grow older, we gain weight. I am a witness! And guess what? We do not need this extra load we are carrying. Therefore, I am doing something about it.

My friend and I have decided to embark upon a Weight-Loss Plan to lose 52 pounds in one year. We have started by promising to lose one pound a week. Thus, we hope to lose 52 pounds by the second week in February 2007. We have already started, but it’s not too late for YOU to join with us. So, hop on board and be a NEW HEALTHIER, LIGHTER WEIGHT this time next year!

Some of the things we plan to do are:

-limit our intake of “white” foods: rice, bread, potatoes, ice cream, sugar, etc.

-eliminate fast foods and processed foods

-walk at least 3 days a week

-do not eat after 8 P.M. – drink green tea with mint

-eat more fruits and veggies

-bake rather than fry our meats

-drink plenty of water and tea

-weigh in every Tuesday and E-mail the other party the new weight status

A weekly journal is kept of weight lost or gained. And there is no fair or fun cheating.

If you do not need to lose 52 pounds, then adjust the plan to the amount of pounds to lose and time frame appropriate for you. If you need any help, let me know.

The Brothers are welcomed to join in the program. By all means, do feel free to share your progress. List your name, the date you started and the weight you lose each week, or if you prefer to only post periodically, then list the date you started and the amount you lost. If you have any special ways to lose a fast pound here and there, by all means do share.

Let’s start having some fun. The more competition, the more encouraged we will ALL be to stick with this Weight-Loss-Diet Plan.

On my first week, I lost four pounds, and I could feel the difference on my walk as I climbed the hills. My husband and I both try to walk three days a week for forty-five minutes. We do about four miles each day.

Don’t forget to first check with your doctor! Better safe than sorry.

Now, get started and feel good and look even better!

THE GREATEST “SPOIL” OF ALL

The Israelites received Reparations for their free labor when they left out of Egypt (Exodus 12:35,36, Psalm 105:37). Note also that Reparations were given to Ezra for the building of GOD’s Temple and for the service of the House of the LORD GOD of Israel (Ezra 7:12 –21). And it is prophesied that we will again receive compensation for our free labor and bondage in this modern-day Egypt (all the lands that took Israelites captive):

“The Lord said, Verily it shall be well with thy remnant; verily I will cause the enemy to entreat thee well in the time of evil and in the time of affliction.” Jeremiah 15:11

EDITORIAL PERSPECTIVE:

LET US NOW BE STEADFAST

IN GOD’s COVENANT

“Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth,

and they lied unto him with their tongues.

For their heart was not right with him, neither were they stedfast in his covenant.”

Psalm 78:36,37

“In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment;

but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the LORD thy Redeemer. For this is as the waters of Noah unto me: for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth; so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee. For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed;

but my kindness shall not depart from thee,

neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed,

saith the LORD that hath mercy on thee.”

Isaiah 54:8 -10

“They shall ask the way to Zion with their faces thitherward, saying,

Come, and let us join ourselves to the LORD

in a perpetual covenant that shall not be forgotten.”

Jeremiah 50:5

July 20,1011

GOD’s Covenant covers a broad scope of information, and few people in this world understand its true and Divine revelation. And that would include GOD’s Chosen People, the SEED of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, with whom this WORD has great significance.

Perhaps it would be helpful to define the word “Covenant”. According to Thorndike/Barnhart, “Covenant” is define as:

1. “A solemn agreement between two or more persons or groups

2. Agree solemnly (to do certain things)”

In regard to GOD’s Covenant, the word “solemnly” is a reference to something sacred or rather Holy.

This information is especially important to Israelites because the GOD of Israel made a Covenant/Agreement with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob to establish their SEED in the Land of Israel. Today, some would find it hard to understand what GOD meant by this agreement since the true SEED of Israel has no knowledge of self and is much less in control of the Land of Israel. But the Truth of the matter is that this Covenant is yet active, and the SEED of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is “at hand to come”.

“But ye, O mountains of Israel, ye shall shoot forth your branches, and yield your fruit to my people of Israel; for they are at hand to come.” Ezekiel 36:8

GOD’s Covenant is composed of other agreements, as well, of which we must also be aware.

The CREATOR GOD chose Abram and called him out of Ur of the Chaldees to be his GOD and the GOD of his SEED. That Covenant is sealed with a promise that the CREATOR GOD would give Abram and his SEED a very special LAND - the Land of Israel.

“In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:” Genesis 15:18

“And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect. And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly.” Genesis 17:1,2

“As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations. Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee. And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee. And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee. And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God. And God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee in their generations. This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; Every man child among you shall be circumcised. And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you. And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every man child in your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any stranger, which is not of thy seed. He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must needs be circumcised: and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.” Genesis 17:4 - 13

Since the time that GOD made a Covenant with Abraham, HE has remained serious about HIS Covenant even though Israelites have forsaken HIM unto this day and yet worship a false god. Nevertheless, the GOD of Abraham is earnest in sustaining HIS Covenant and making HIS Holy Name known to the “Dry Bones” in exile and to the peoples of the world.

As we know, the most popular book of all times is the Bible, and throughout the “Old Testament”, the CREATOR GOD is the GOD of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and with all HIS Wondrous WORKS and ACTS, HE proclaimed and proved that there is none other.

“And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.” Exodus 3:15

“And it came to pass at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that thou art God in Israel, and that I am thy servant, and that I have done all these things at thy word. Hear me, O LORD, hear me, that this people may know that thou art the LORD God, and that thou hast turned their heart back again. Then the fire of the LORD fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench. And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces: and they said, The LORD, he is the God; the LORD, he is the God.” I Kings 18:36 - 39

“O LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, our fathers, keep this for ever in the imagination of the thoughts of the heart of thy people, and prepare their heart unto thee:” I Chronicles 29:18

“Then the Levites, Jeshua, and Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabniah, Sherebiah, Hodijah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah, said, Stand up and bless the LORD your God for ever and ever: and blessed be thy glorious name, which is exalted above all blessing and praise. Thou, even thou, art LORD alone; thou hast made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth, and all things that are therein, the seas, and all that is therein, and thou preservest them all; and the host of heaven worshippeth thee. Thou art the LORD the God, who didst choose Abram, and broughtest him forth out of Ur of the Chaldees, and gavest him the name of Abraham; And foundest his heart faithful before thee, and madest a covenant with him to give the land of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Jebusites, and the Girgashites, to give it, I say, to his seed, and hast performed thy words; for thou art righteous: And didst see the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, and heardest their cry by the Red sea; And shewedst signs and wonders upon Pharaoh, and on all his servants, and on all the people of his land: for thou knewest that they dealt proudly against them. So didst thou get thee a name, as it is this day.” Nehemiah 9:5 - 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 honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life. Fear not: for I am with thee: 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: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth;” Isaiah 43:3 - 6

“Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled: who among them can declare this, and shew us former things? let them bring forth their witnesses, that they may be justified: or let them hear, and say, It is truth. Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour. I have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed, when there was no strange god among you: therefore ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, that I am God.” Isaiah 43:9 - 12

“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

“And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the LORD your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed.” Joel 2:27

Allow me to clarify what GOD’s Prophet Joel wrote in the “Old Testament” concerning GOD being “the LORD your GOD and none else.” Of a Truth, the CREATOR GOD is the GOD of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, but HE does indeed embrace all peoples who turn to HIM and who desire to live according to HIS Ways of Righteousness.

“And if a stranger sojourn with you, or whosoever be among you in your generations, and will offer an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD; as ye do, so he shall do. One ordinance shall be both for you of the congregation, and also for the stranger that sojourneth with you, an ordinance for ever in your generations: as ye are, so shall the stranger be before the LORD. One law and one manner shall be for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you.” Numbers 15:14 - 16

“Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the LORD, to serve him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant; Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people. The Lord GOD which gathereth the outcasts of Israel saith, Yet will I gather others to him, beside those that are gathered unto him.” Isaiah 56:6 - 8

“And it shall come to pass, that ye shall divide it by lot for an inheritance unto you, and to the strangers that sojourn among you, which shall beget children among you: and they shall be unto you as born in the country among the children of Israel; they shall have inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel.” Ezekiel 47:22

It is imperative that people who believe in other gods and worship them understand that only in the “Old Testament” does the CREATOR GOD interact with HIS Chosen/Covenant People. And only in the “Old Testament” can we find HIS WORD at the mouth of HIS Prophets. And rightly so, for it is from HIS WORD that we learn about HIS Truth and HIS Ways of Righteousness and how we are Commanded to serve and worship this JEALOUS GOD.

Another component of GOD’s Covenant is worship of ONLY HIM.

“And God spake all these words, saying, I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;” Exodus 20:1 - 5

“There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any strange god.” Psalm 81:9

“And I will utter my judgments against them touching all their wickedness, who have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other gods, and worshipped the works of their own hands.” Jeremiah 1:16

If the CREATOR GOD of Israel cursed HIS Covenant People, the Children of Israel, and scattered them from HIS Land, for worshipping false gods, then it stands to reason that HIS Wrath is also against all peoples and nations that forget HIM and turn to false worship.

“The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.” Psalm 9:17

Could all this mayhem and turmoil on Earth today be GOD’s Judgments because of the sins of the Israelites and because of the rulers of this Earth who have deceived people by their inventions of false worship, causing people to forget the ONE True and Living GOD? You can bet on it. One thing is for sure, the CREATOR GOD is NOT with the powers-that-be. In the past, powerful empires have fallen, and it would appear that the so-called “Super Powers” of today are following their demise.

HENCE, BE YE MINDFUL ALWLAYS OF GOD’s WORD CONCERNING HIS COVENANT!

“Give thanks unto the LORD, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people. Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him, talk ye of all his wondrous works. Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD. Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually. Remember his marvellous works that he hath done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth; O ye seed of Israel his servant, ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones. He is the LORD our God; his judgments are in all the earth. Be ye mindful always of his covenant; the word which he commanded to a thousand generations; Even of the covenant which he made with Abraham, and of his oath unto Isaac; And hath confirmed the same to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant,” I Chronicles 16:8 - 17

“I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving.” Psalm 69:30,31

Under these circumstances, even though we are under Gentile control, we must NOT forget Our GOD for HE has made us HIS Covenant People, and to HIS Covenant, we are bound forever. And as our dire circumstances prove this day, rejecting HIM and HIS Ways of Righteous for the worship of other gods has caused us to be under the control of “heathens”.

“I am the LORD your God; walk in my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them; And hallow my sabbaths; and they shall be a sign between me and you, that ye may know that I am the LORD your God. Notwithstanding the children rebelled against me: they walked not in my statutes, neither kept my judgments to do them, which if a man do, he shall even live in them; they polluted my sabbaths: then I said, I would pour out my fury upon them, to accomplish my anger against them in the wilderness. Nevertheless I withdrew mine hand, and wrought for my name's sake, that it should not be polluted in the sight of the heathen, in whose sight I brought them forth. I lifted up mine hand unto them also in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the heathen, and disperse them through the countries; Because they had not executed my judgments, but had despised my statutes, and had polluted my sabbaths, and their eyes were after their fathers' idols.” Ezekiel 20:19 - 24

We are paying for the sins of our forefathers in a Hell on Earth that has kept us in gross darkness and has sustained our captivity and shame for well over 2,000 years. And given that Our GOD of Israel has so Mercifully opened our eyes to HIS Truth and to HIS Covenant, we have to believe that it is time to take heed and be obedient and return to HIM according to HIS Ways of Righteousness that HE Commanded of our forefathers. HE IS PROVED TO BE OUR GOD, AND THAT BEING SO, WE DO NOT NEED ANY OTHER!

“Take heed unto yourselves, lest ye forget the covenant of the LORD your God, which he made with you, and make you a graven image, or the likeness of any thing, which the LORD thy God hath forbidden thee. For the LORD thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God.” Deuteronomy 4:23,24

“And the covenant that I have made with you ye shall not forget; neither shall ye fear other gods. But the LORD your God ye shall fear; and he shall deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies.” II King 17:38,39

“And he gave them into the hand of the heathen; and they that hated them ruled over them. Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand.” Psalm 106:41,42

“Because my people hath forgotten me, they have burned incense to vanity, and they have caused them to stumble in their ways from the ancient paths, to walk in paths, in a way not cast up;

“I will scatter them as with an east wind before the enemy; I will shew them the back, and not the face, in the day of their calamity.” Jeremiah 18:15,17

“And I will set my jealousy against thee, and they shall deal furiously with thee: they shall take away thy nose and thine ears; and thy remnant shall fall by the sword: they shall take thy sons and thy daughters; and thy residue shall be devoured by the fire.” Ezekiel 23:25

“And I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the heathen shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them. So the house of Israel shall know that I am the LORD their God from that day and forward. And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity: because they trespassed against me, therefore hid I my face from them, and gave them into the hand of their enemies: so fell they all by the sword.” Ezekiel 39:21 - 23

We, being GOD’s Covenant People, must return to GOD’s Old Paths and walk therein and abandon the ways of mankind and his evil and wicked systems of government and society. We have to or fall when it all falls. Our GOD of Israel has left ample information explaining to us what is necessary and required of us to do to return to HIM and be restored to our own heritage.

“And now, Israel, what doth the LORD thy God require of thee, but to fear the LORD thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the LORD thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul, To keep the commandments of the LORD, and his statutes, which I command thee this day for thy good?” Deuteronomy 10:12,13

“And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call them to mind among all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath driven thee, And shalt return unto the LORD thy God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul; That then the LORD thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath scattered thee. If any of thine be driven out unto the outmost parts of heaven, from thence will the LORD thy God gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee: And the LORD thy God will bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it; and he will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers.” Deuteronomy 30:1 - 5

“Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.” Jeremiah 6:16

These Divine Paths are GOD’s Ways of Righteousness that are as old as CREATION and are what we are required to live and do if we want to return to our heritage. If Noah found grace with the CREATOR GOD, he had to have been living according to GOD’s required Ways of Righteousness.

“And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.” Genesis 6:7,8

“And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.” Genesis 7:1

Let’s permit GOD’s WORD to define HIS Ways of Righteous:

“And what nation is there so great, that hath statutes and judgments so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?” Deuteronomy 4:8

“And the LORD thy God will make thee plenteous in every work of thine hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy land, for good: for the LORD will again rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers: If thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law, and if thou turn unto the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul. For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off. It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it? Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it? But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it. See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil; In that I command thee this day to love the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it.” Deuteronomy 30:9 - 16

“O ye seed of Israel his servant, ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones. He is the LORD our God; his judgments are in all the earth. Be ye mindful always of his covenant; the word which he commanded to a thousand generations; Even of the covenant which he made with Abraham, and of his oath unto Isaac; And hath confirmed the same to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant,” I Chronicles 16:13 - 17

Thus, let us live according to GOD’s Covenant and thirst for HIS Truth.

“Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness. Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.” Isaiah 55:1 - 3

More importantly, let us understand all that Our GOD of Israel means when HE says HE will make a “New Covenant” with the House of Israel and with the House of Judah.

“Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD: But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.” Jeremiah 31:31 - 34

“Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with thee in the days of thy youth, and I will establish unto thee an everlasting covenant. Then thou shalt remember thy ways, and be ashamed, when thou shalt receive thy sisters, thine elder and thy younger: and I will give them unto thee for daughters, but not by thy covenant. And I will establish my covenant with thee; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD: That thou mayest remember, and be confounded, and never open thy mouth any more because of thy shame, when I am pacified toward thee for all that thou hast done, saith the Lord GOD.” Ezekiel 16:60 - 63

Contrary to what the “New Testament” teaches concerning worship of JC and JC replacing GOD’s LAW, GOD’s Prophet Jeremiah proves this man-god to be a fraud. The CREATOR has no good reason to annul HIS “Perfect” Laws, Statutes, and Judgments for the likes of an unfounded man-made doctrine.

Without question, GOD’s Covenants, the one HE made with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and the one that is HIS LAW, mean the world and our life to HIM. Therefore, these Covenants must be in our hearts if we want a connection with the Most HIS GOD of this Universe that chose our forefathers and their SEED to be HIS Covenant People forever. Keep in mind that it is this GOD of Israel that loves us and that has made HIMSELF Our SAVIOR and chooses to dwell among us in the Land of Israel that HE gave to us.

“Concerning this house which thou art in building, if thou wilt walk in my statutes, and execute my judgments, and keep all my commandments to walk in them; then will I perform my word with thee, which I spake unto David thy father: And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel.” I Kings 6:12,13

“And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD. As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the LORD; My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the LORD, from henceforth and for ever.” Isaiah 59:20,21

“Thus saith the Lord GOD; When I shall have gathered the house of Israel from the people among whom they are scattered, and shall be sanctified in them in the sight of the heathen, then shall they dwell in their land that I have given to my servant Jacob. And they shall dwell safely therein, and shall build houses, and plant vineyards; yea, they shall dwell with confidence, when I have executed judgments upon all those that despise them round about them; and they shall know that I am the LORD their God.” Ezekiel 28:25,26

After all we have been through and survived unto this day: fleeing our enemies in the land of Ham after being scattered from the Land of Israel, exile, famine, enslavement, servitude, and racism in the lands of our captivity, we should be ready and willing to RETURN to Our GOD of Israel and embrace HIM and the Covenants HE made with our forefathers. In fact, we should be on our knees daily praying for forgiveness and pleading to HIM to prepare our hearts to return to HIM in Truth and in Righteousness in order that we come out of this Hell that has engulfed this world and sustained many abominations.

“The works of the LORD are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.

“The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure. They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness. He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name.” Psalm 111:2, 7 - 99

“We acknowledge, O LORD, our wickedness, and the iniquity of our fathers: for we have sinned against thee. Do not abhor us, for thy name's sake, do not disgrace the throne of thy glory: remember, break not thy covenant with us. Are there any among the vanities of the Gentiles that can cause rain? or can the heavens give showers? art not thou he, O LORD our God? therefore we will wait upon thee: for thou hast made all these things.” Jeremiah 14:20 - 22

Only the rebellious do not accept the fact that GOD’s Covenant and HIS WORD are forever, and that we are forever subject to them, whether we agree with what’s written or not. Our GOD of Israel will keep HIS Promises to Abraham, and we should realize that HE yet Commands HIS Covenant of Circumcision, and that not under any circumstances will HE void HIS Laws of Righteousness. Our GOD set these LAWS in stone for us to observe them forever.

“Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;” Deuteronomy 7:9

“And he said, LORD God of Israel, there is no God like thee, in heaven above, or on earth beneath, who keepest covenant and mercy with thy servants that walk before thee with all their heart:” I Kings 8:23

“Unto this day they do after the former manners: they fear not the LORD, neither do they after their statutes, or after their ordinances, or after the law and commandment which the LORD commanded the children of Jacob, whom he named Israel; With whom the LORD had made a covenant, and charged them, saying, Ye shall not fear other gods, nor bow yourselves to them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them: But the LORD, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great power and a stretched out arm, him shall ye fear, and him shall ye worship, and to him shall ye do sacrifice. And the statutes, and the ordinances, and the law, and the commandment, which he wrote for you, ye shall observe to do for evermore; and ye shall not fear other gods. And the covenant that I have made with you ye shall not forget; neither shall ye fear other gods. But the LORD your God ye shall fear; and he shall deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies.” II Kings 17:34 - 39

“The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes. The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.” Psalm 19:7 - 11

“All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies. For thy name's sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great. What man is he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose. His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth. The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.” Psalm 25:10 - 14

“For thus saith the LORD unto the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and take hold of my covenant;” Isaiah 56:4

Our GOD of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob/Israel establish HIS Holy Land, HIS Holy City Jerusalem, and HIS Holy Temple to receive HIS Covenant People, the SEED of Jacob for HIS Praise and for HIS Glory, and for HIS Holy Name’s Sake.

Our GOD of Abraham join us together and Bless us all who seek HIM to know HIM to learn HIS LAW and HIS WORD in order that we represent HIM in Righteousness and be a LIGHT, so that all peoples and nations will seek HIM to live according to HIS Ways of Righteousness. Let the Covenants of the Most High CREATOR GOD of Abraham be revealed, and let us honor and keep them for HIS GLORY, for HE ALONE is the Most High GOD of Hosts, and there is none else.

“And Jethro, Moses' father in law, came with his sons and his wife unto Moses into the wilderness, where he encamped at the mount of God: And he said unto Moses, I thy father in law Jethro am come unto thee, and thy wife, and her two sons with her.”

Exodus 18:5,6

“And yet for all that, when they be in the land of their enemies, I will not cast them away, neither will I abhor them,

to destroy them utterly, and to break my covenant with them:

for I am the LORD their God.

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 26:44,45

“Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live;

and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.

Behold, I have given him for a witness to the people, a leader and commander to the people. Behold, thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not, and nations that knew not thee

shall run unto thee because of the LORD thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel;

for he hath glorified thee. Seek ye the LORD while he may be found,

call ye upon him while he is near: Let the wicked forsake his way,

and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD,

and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.”

Isaiah 55:3 - 7

“Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him.

“But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him,

and his righteousness unto children's children; To such as keep his covenant,

and to those that remember his commandments to do them.”

Psalm 103:13,17,18

“As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the LORD; My spirit that is upon thee,

and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth,

nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed,

saith the LORD, from henceforth and for ever.”

Isaiah 59:21

THE SOAPBOX SPEAKS:

JULY FOURTH

“Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of Israel:

Thus saith the LORD,

Learn not the way of the heathen…For the customs of the people are vain:…”

Jeremiah 10:1 - 3

On July 4^th America celebrated its Independence Day with flags flying, barbecue on the grill, and patriotic parades. Just about everyone in the country participated and enjoyed the finale of fireworks across the country displaying all manner of flashing loud pops and bangs and spectacular images. However, my question is, should descendants of Slaves have taken part in this holiday. Some people can argue about observing Thanksgiving, but can a descendant of Slaves really find reason to wave the American flag and take delight in the festivities of the 4^th of July, given the heinous enslavement that our forebears endured at the time the United States gained this independence? Good question, huh? No?! Hmmm…okay, then consider the following:

Suppose someone in the US Congress introduced a Bill to observe the birthday of Adolph Hitler. Can you imagine the outrage coming from White “Jews”? These people would even protest having a school named after Hitler and cringe whenever his name is mentioned. So, again, why would descendants of Slaves celebrate the 4^th of July knowing that in 1776, our forefathers were in shackles and yokes barbarically and cruelly suffering at the hands of the founding fathers of these United States of America??? Where was our outcry???

If White “Jews” can understand how ridiculous it is to celebrate anything regarding oppression and/or an oppressor, why can’t descendants of Slaves? Can you hear me, now?

IS THE CREATOR GOD WITH THE UNITED STATES?

The United States has done just about everything but fallen, and over the past month, that’s all I’ve been hearing at the mouths of journalists. The US owes China and other nations great sums of money - monies so great that we cannot even dream about the amounts. When a country cannot pay its debts and must keep borrowing from other nations, has a huge rate of unemployment, and has a disastrous and failing economy that cannot get off the ground, then you can be sure that the handwriting is on the wall. And I ain’t talking about Facebook.

No, the CREATOR GOD is not with the United States. HE is the ONE causing its demise.

“Therefore fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, saith the LORD; neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be in rest, and be quiet, and none shall make him afraid. For I am with thee, saith the LORD, to save thee: though I make a full end of all nations whither I have scattered thee, yet will I not make a full end of thee: but I will correct thee in measure, and will not leave thee altogether unpunished.” Jeremiah 30:10,11

Truly we are witnessing the scenario of Noah’s days just before the FLOOD that engulfed all the wicked. The only difference with that scenario and this one in which we now live is that the CREATOR GOD will DELIVER HIS Covenant People out of this Hell before HE destroys it.

“The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD God of Israel, saying, Write thee all the words that I have spoken unto thee in a book. For, lo, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will bring again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, saith the LORD: and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it. And these are the words that the LORD spake concerning Israel and concerning Judah. For thus saith the LORD; We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace. Ask ye now, and see whether a man doth travail with child? wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness? Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble; but he shall be saved out of it. For it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy bonds, and strangers shall no more serve themselves of him: But they shall serve the LORD their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them.” Jeremiah 30:1 - 9

The United States is comparable to Sodom and Gomorrah, and the only difference is that the US is worse for exploiting and corrupting the nations around the world and for taking GOD‘s Chosen People into captivity unto this day.

The CREATOR GOD of this Universe is a JUST GOD! All that HE Created in the BEGINNING was “GOOD”. Nothing in the United States is proved to be good, and its democracy has its own enemies that sustain greed and dishonesty. They are the Leaders, the powers-that-be, and the Public Servants of this horrible system of so-called “justice for all“.

The CREATOR GOD endorses a Righteous King that will rule according to HIS Book of the Law.

“When thou art come unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, and shalt possess it, and shalt dwell therein, and shalt say, I will set a king over me, like as all the nations that are about me; Thou shalt in any wise set him king over thee, whom the LORD thy God shall choose: one from among thy brethren shalt thou set king over thee: thou mayest not set a stranger over thee, which is not thy brother.

“And it shall be, when he sitteth upon the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write him a copy of this law in a book out of that which is before the priests the Levites: And it shall be with him, and he shall read therein all the days of his life: that he may learn to fear the LORD his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them: That his heart be not lifted up above his brethren, and that he turn not aside from the commandment, to the right hand, or to the left: to the end that he may prolong his days in his kingdom, he, and his children, in the midst of Israel.” Deuteronomy 17:14,15,18 - 20

Only at this time and under these circumstances concerning GOD‘s Book of the Law, will members of societies throughout the world enjoy a good life. Let us never forget that Righteousness is dependent on living according to the Creator’s “Perfect” LAW, and that goes for Israelites and all peoples! Otherwise expect a life of misery, hardships, fraud, and unhappiness, just as exists now.

“The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes. The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.” Psalm 19:7 - 11

THE SMOKESCREEN

We can assume the Universe was established by a “Big Bang,” or we can seek a more intelligent theory.

The more intelligent reasoning is that a Supreme Being did in fact Create the Heavens, Earth, and all things therein. Then the issue becomes, “Did this Supreme Being intend for HIS CREATION to exist in such a chaotic state of absolute Hell, as it is now?” If not, then it is incumbent upon us to seek answers for the present horrific state of affairs in the Land of Israel and the rest of the Middle East that is capable of spreading to other countries even to the United States.

It is not likely that this Supreme Being did not advise the people of HIS Creation IN THE BEGINNING of how to live in goodness and in peace with each other, which certainly entailed how to worship HIM for giving them life. For there not to exist harmony and happiness on this Earth, it is evident that from the looks of things and from the ever-present catastrophic events taking place on Earth, this Supreme Being is furious with the peoples HE Created.

This is where we are now. The CREATOR is Judging the peoples of HIS Creation and is taking back HIS Universe.

History proves that Jerusalem is the Holy City of the GOD of Israel, that the Israelites are HIS Chosen, Covenant People, and that the Land of Israel belongs to HIM, as well. So, why all the attention given to this area of the world that is proving to be the catalyst leading to the end of this present world system?

The Palestinians have been in the land since the reign of King Saul, and the European Israelis have been a State since 1948, opening their doors to other converted Europeans and whomsoever else wishing to take part in this Talmudic process and live off the fat of GOD’s Holy Land. The Palestinians and the Israelis have been at war ever since. If these two groups can live together anywhere in the world except in Israel, then there must be a very good reason why. However, the reason is not one that Israelis desire to make public. Israeli hatred of the Arabs is not at all the issue. There exists a more profound reason than that. Finger pointing at the Arabs is but the ubiquitous smokescreen presented to the world.

THE TRUTH ABOUT CONVERSION TO SO-CALLED “JUDAISM”

The world should connect the dots and learn the truth regarding the Europeans who control GOD’s Holy Land. There is no way the GOD of Israel will accept a conversion process that changes Europeans, Americans, and Middle Easterners into “Jews.” GOD’s Covenant is with Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and their SEED. Accordingly, how can we dismiss the fact that Abraham was called out of Ur of the Chaldeans – NOT out of Europe. GOD well knows HIS Chosen People, no matter that HE took their identity from them and cast them from HIS Land.

And their being scattered into the “Four Corners of the Earth” to serve their enemies has everything to do with the problems in the Middle East, as this crisis relates to the CREATOR GOD taking back HIS Universe, HIS Holy Land, HIS Holy City, and HIS Chosen People. The Israelis know this. They see the handwriting on the wall, but they are fighting the CREATOR GOD tooth and nail. That’s what this war is all about - Israeli control - to keep out the SEED of Jacob whom GOD is calling home. Hence, the Israelis, even if time permitted, would not give the Palestinians their State for fear the Israelites would seek to live there also. And just for the record, one can learn about the true identity of the descendants of Jacob by reading what the CREATOR GOD of Israel said would befall them in Leviticus 26^th and Deuteronomy 28^th Chapters.

The Israelis have a rabid requirement to control all the Land of Israel including the Palestinian territories for one reason and for one reason only, which has everything to do with their “Law of Return.” The Israelis and their Rabbinute (their religious party) are ever aware that the CREATOR GOD of Israel has a Covenant People – The Twelve Tribes of Jacob, and they know that according to Biblical Prophecy the CREATOR GOD of the Land of Israel and this Universe will restore HIS Chosen People to their heritage. For obvious reasons, in no way do the Israelis (European converts to what’s called “Judaism,” which is of their own making) want this to happen, for then they will no longer have control of the Land of Israel at all. However, they know their days are numbered.

“Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I have lifted up mine hand, Surely the heathen that are about you, they shall bear their shame. But ye, O mountains of Israel, ye shall shoot forth your branches, and yield your fruit to my people of Israel; for they are at hand to come. For, behold, I am for you, and I will turn unto you, and ye shall be tilled and sown: And I will multiply men upon you, all the house of Israel, even all of it: and the cities shall be inhabited, and the wastes shall be builded:”

Ezekiel 36:7 – 10

Now, the Truth is out. This is the reason for the decades of turmoil, death, and destruction over GOD’s Holy Land. And of a Truth, the Israeli powers-that-be have no qualms about their dilemma. They are prepared to fight to the end, but who are they really fighting? It all has to do with what prophecy foretells, and what must be fulfilled.

Conversely, Israelis are putting too much false hope in their military powers. When it comes to the Children of Israel, the CREATOR GOD fights their battles, and since it is time for their return, there is nothing Israeli’ weaponry can do to stop GOD’s Commandment from manifesting.

The Israelites were formed to show forth GOD’s Praise and to be a light to the world for HIS Ways of Righteousness – HIS Book of the Law (the teachings of the Prophet Moses – NOT the Talmud compiled by European “Jews”).

“Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein: I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;”

Isaiah 42:5,6

“This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise.” Isaiah 43:21

And it is for this reason the Supreme Being, or rather the CREATOR GOD of Israel is taking back HIS magnificent Universe and making it a place of Divine Peace, one that Exalts and Magnifies HIM for all HIS Wondrous Works.

The CREATOR GOD has held HIS Peace for a very long time, all because of the curses HE put on HIS Chosen People for forsaking HIM for false gods and for rejecting HIS LAW. Their rebellion caused GOD to cast HIS People into the hands of the heathen, and HE went into seclusion permitting Gentiles to run the world and teach HIS People a lesson that would send them running back to HIM seeking forgiveness with contrite spirits.

“I have long time holden my peace; I have been still, and refrained myself: now will I cry like a travailing woman; I will destroy and devour at once.” Isaiah 42:14

For a long time people believed that the European “Jews” were really the people of the Bible, but the CREATOR knows HIS Chosen People, the SEED of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the men with whom HE made an Everlasting Covenant (Genesis 17:1 – 21).

From the Slave Trade to world hatred, and enduring racism and discrimination all over the world, Blacks have suffered at the hands of those who ruled over them. But now, the CREATOR GOD of Israel is awakening the Dry Bones and calling HIS People home to the chagrin and utter dismay of European Israelis who are helpless to do anything about it but who still have plans to thwart the WORD of GOD. Trust me, their efforts will not end in victory, and nothing since 1948 has even given them hope that they could take the place of the SEED of Jacob/Israel (Genesis 32:28) – neither by conversion nor submersion.

Thus, the reasons for the war for Israeli control of GOD’s Land and the reasons for a world of troubled times, disasters, endless suffering, despair, and many, many tears.

The CREATOR is taking back HIS Universe and keeping HIS Everlasting Promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the Patriarchs of the Nation of Israel.

“And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again stay upon him that smote them; but shall stay upon the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth. The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God. For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return: the consumption decreed shall overflow with righteousness.” Isaiah 10:20 - 22

“And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.” Isaiah 11:11

“And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.” Ezekiel 36:27

“For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain.” Isaiah 66:22

“Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will bring again the captivity of Jacob's tents, and have mercy on his dwellingplaces; and the city shall be builded upon her own heap, and the palace shall remain after the manner thereof. And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small. Their children also shall be as aforetime, and their congregation shall be established before me, and I will punish all that oppress them. And their nobles shall be of themselves, and their governor shall proceed from the midst of them; and I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach unto me: for who is this that engaged his heart to approach unto me? saith the LORD.”

Jeremiah 30:18 – 21

“At the same time, saith the LORD, will I be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be my people. Thus saith the LORD, The people which were left of the sword found grace in the wilderness; even Israel, when I went to cause him to rest. The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee. Again I will build thee, and thou shalt be built, O virgin of Israel: thou shalt again be adorned with thy tabrets, and shalt go forth in the dances of them that make merry. Thou shalt yet plant vines upon the mountains of Samaria: the planters shall plant, and shall eat them as common things. For there shall be a day, that the watchmen upon the mount Ephraim shall cry, Arise ye, and let us go up to Zion unto the LORD our God. For thus saith the LORD; Sing with gladness for Jacob, and shout among the chief of the nations: publish ye, praise ye, and say, O LORD, save thy people, the remnant of Israel. Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the coasts of the earth, and with them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her that travaileth with child together: a great company shall return thither. They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them: I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way, wherein they shall not stumble: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn. Hear the word of the LORD, O ye nations, and declare it in the isles afar off, and say, He that scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd doth his flock. For the LORD hath redeemed Jacob, and ransomed him from the hand of him that was stronger than he. Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and shall flow together to the goodness of the LORD, for wheat, and for wine, and for oil, and for the young of the flock and of the herd: and their soul shall be as a watered garden; and they shall not sorrow any more at all. Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, both young men and old together: for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow.” Jeremiah 31:1 – 13

“The remnant of Israel shall not do iniquity, nor speak lies; neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth: for they shall feed and lie down, and none shall make them afraid.” Zephaniah 3:13

“Behold, at that time I will undo all that afflict thee: and I will save her that halteth, and gather her that was driven out; and I will get them praise and fame in every land where they have been put to shame.” Zephaniah 3:19

And for all HIS Creations, especially man, the ONE CREATOR GOD of Israel will be acknowledged and worshipped by HIS Chosen People and all Nations remaining from HIS Wrath and destruction of the wicked. The Peoples of this world will revolve around its MAKER!

Yes, the All-Mighty CREATOR will liberate HIS Holy Land and will return to HIS Holy City Jerusalem, where once again HIS Holy Priests will minister before HIM and where people of all Nations will visit to Bless HIM for HIS GOODNESS and for HIS Holy Name’s Sake.

“And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD.” Isaiah 66:23

“And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.” Zechariah 14:16

FINALLY:

“Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD's anger.” Zephaniah 2:3

WHAT IS THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF THE CREATOR GOD?

“And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before the LORD our God, as he hath commanded us.” Deuteronomy 6:25

“When all Israel is come to appear before the LORD thy God in the place which he shall choose, thou shalt read this law before all Israel in their hearing. Gather the people together, men and women, and children, and thy stranger that is within thy gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear the LORD your God, and observe to do all the words of this law: And that their children, which have not known any thing, may hear, and learn to fear the LORD your God, as long as ye live in the land whither ye go over Jordan to possess it.” Deuteronomy 31:11 - 13

The fulfillment of the above passage is just a matter of time.

WE WANT ANSWERS, BUT CAN WE HANDLE THE TRUTH?

What in the world is happening?

As people watch and experience frightening and disastrous floods, killer storms, Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, destructive fires, famine, and incurable diseases, they can only ask, “Will my loved ones and I be spared?”

As people sit in churches and temples, they wonder, “Why aren’t my prayers being answered?” And “Who can I trust to spiritually guide me?”

As people raise their children, they wonder, “How can I explain the reasons why GOD does not end hunger, impoverishment, race hatred, unhappiness, ubiquitous catastrophes, and bring peace to this Earth?”

And “Why would GOD hand HIS Earth over to the heathens?”

The ANSWERS to all these questions and many, many more can be found in “The Old Testament.”

In that this book details new revelations and unconventional perspectives about Christianity and so-called “Judaism” (unrelated to the LAW GOD gave to Moses), would you be so inclined to consider the answers and solutions written therein?

At a time when people fear for their lives because of the many disasters and the growing possibilities of a nuclear war, it is time to seek explanations that make sense. Therefore, read the WORD OF GOD that has been hidden for millennia in order that the reign of the heathen may be fulfilled. Read THUS SAITH THE LORD for knowledge and understanding, as all the world watches GOD’s WONDROUS WORKS unfold bringing an end to the corruption and evils that fill the Earth HE CREATED!

IT IS GOD’s TURN NOW!

WATCH

AS HE TAKES BACK HIS UNIVERSE,

CALLS ATTENTION TO HIMSELF,

AND

CAUSES ALL TO KNOW HIM AND HIS TRUTH!

THE CREATOR GOD WILL BE EXALTED AND

BILLIONS WILL BOW ONLY TO HIM!

When a child, I said I would kill whoever killed GOD.

Now, an adult, I know that no one can kill the True and Living CREATOR GOD

but rather must serve, worship, and magnify ONLY HIM or pay dire consequences, and

the order of each and every day prove to be the Truth of this matter.

[I am too pleased to add the following list of more enlightening books presented by our dear Sister Naami baht Lewi. By all means, please indulge and be the wiser. T.Y., Editor]

1. Breaking the Chains of Psychological Slavery by Na'im Akbar (a very short book, but it's chock full of good, good stuff);

2. Africans and Their History by Dr. Joseph E. Harris (the book is not a big book either and there's even a paperback edition. Yet, it is one of the most comprehensive and easy-to-follow books on Africa that I've read);

3. Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome by Dr. Joy Learey (in my opinion, this sister, even without an Israelite perspective, has produced the definitive work on explaining some of our behaviors, thought patterns, etc. She also offers some practical solutions that can be adopted and are even more applicable because we know the origin of our pathological behavior);

4. Capitalism and Slavery by Eric Williams (even though Dr. Williams speaks mainly about West Indian slavery, he offers a comprehensive perspective as to why we should not embrace our oppressors - particularly when we understand what they have done to us and their mindset on the whole institution).

5. Holy Land, Whose Land?: Modern Dilemma, Ancient Roots by Dorothy Drummond (she offers an interesting perspective on the question and she offers both the scientific and historical explanations as to why this is so);

6. The Woman's Encyclopedia of Myths and Secrets by Barbara G. Walker. This is a great reference book for explaining many of the pagan origins of beliefs, practices, etc.

7. The Penguin Dictionary of Religions, edited by John R. Hinnells;

8. The Penguin Dictionary of Symbols, by Jean Chevalier and Alain Gheerbrant;
Both of these reference books offer a wealth of information as to the origin or certain religious beliefs, how these beliefs were founded, and how various symbols are derived from paganism, etc.

9. Anything by the late Dr. Amos N. Wilson, particularly the following: The Developmental Psychology of the Black Child; Awakening the Natural Genius of Black Children; & The Falsification of Afrikan Consciousness.

NOTE: Dr. Wilson was an inspired, if sometimes soporific lecturer, although his lectures were mainly delivered in the vernacular of the common man. His books are written is some common language that is easily comprehensible, while also including language that may be difficult for some to follow (i.e., written in academic language). However, folks who are good and/or avid readers will gain a lot from his work.

10. The Hidden History of New York: A guide for Black Folks by Tingba Apidta, the 3rd in a series of The Reclamation Project, Boston, MA. (This book is for those who mistakenly believe that slavery and Jim Crow were Southern U.S. phenomena.)

11. African Perspective on Colonialism by A. Adu Boahen (An African's view of his continent's conquerors. Very interesting and informative.)

12. *The Jew and the Christian Missionary: A Jewish Response to Missionary Christianity" by Gerald Segal, KTAV Publishing House, Inc., NY, 1981.

*Please note that this book may be completely out of print. When I ordered mine on amazon.com a few years ago, (The Strand and other out-of-print publishers did not have a copy) it cost me $53 (other copies were being sold for as high as $250!). A congregation might want to track this publication down and pay for a copy and then distribute without charge, copies of sections, citing the source, of course. This way, they don't infringe on copyright laws. It is one of those remarkable books that once acquired, you don't let out6 of your possession.

13. The Christ Conspiracy: The Greatest Story Ever Sold by Acharya S.

14. Gospel Fictions by Randel Helms; and last but not least,

15. Don't forget that our brother, Moreh Aesh of Baltimore, produces a long list of pamphlets, essays, etc. explaining much to Israelites, including the debunking of christianity and islam, under his Zaqen Publications. You can view the publications available by logging on to www.zaqen.info.

Hope this list is useful. Sorry about its length, although I could have added some more. But you know, "the reading of many books......"

As always, love, peace and blessings to you and yours.

Kol Khavode L'Yehowah,

Naami

A SPECIAL REPORT ON THE “KOY”

TAKE DILIGENT HEED…

“…take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law,

which Moses the servant of the LORD charged you, to love the LORD your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments,

and to cleave unto him,

and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul.”

Joshua 22:5

June 19, 2006

What exactly does the GOD of Israel mean when HE Commands us to take diligent heed to do HIS Commandments and HIS LAW?

IN THAT…

“I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.” Deuteronomy 30:19,20

AND…

“And he said unto them, Set your hearts unto all the words which I testify among you this day, which ye shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of this law. For it is not a vain thing for you; because it is your life: and through this thing ye shall prolong your days in the land, whither ye go over Jordan to possess it.” Deuteronomy 32:46,47

I would think that to take diligent heed means to be extremely cautious to keep GOD’s LAW, read and study it, DO IT, and pray to the GOD of Israel for wisdom to understand it. And in addition to that common sense would be to either join with others so determined or be alone in returning back to the Holy ONE and what’s required of the SEED of Jacob.

This might seem ever so trivial a detail to some, but it means a world to the GOD of Israel. You see, I used to belong to Ben Ammi’s group, and I left for many reasons, but mainly because he was allowing people to call him JC and “Saviour” and because he was not concerned about GOD’s LAW and much less about taking heed to live and do it.

What truly, truly disturbs me is that there are people encouraging Israelites to join up with Ben Ammi and accept his title – “Messianic Leader,” as well as the blasphemous notion that the True and Living GOD would have such a congregation to represent HIM. Yes, of course the so-called “KOY” exists, but it does not represent the GOD of Israel and HIS LAW, i.e., HIS Ways of Righteousness that HE Commanded of the Prophet Moses to teach to the Nation of Israel. This group does not in any way signify the Kingdom of YAH, and indeed it cannot in any way portray GOD’s Righteous Kingdom.

The “KOY” is a congregation of people calling themselves Israelites and living according to the Laws of Ben Ammi and the imaginations of his contrary and devious heart. The wise in the knowledge of Truth know that Ben Ammi’s camp, built on corruption, crime, lust, adultery, and death, cannot in any way be connected with the Holy ONE of Israel’s Divine and Righteous Kingdom or cannot be established to receive the Remnant GOD said would return.

“The anger of the LORD shall not return, until he have executed, and till he have performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it perfectly. I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied. But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.” Jeremiah 23:20 – 22

“My people hath been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray, they have turned them away on the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten their restingplace.” Jeremiah 50:6

Moreover, King David’s Seed will head the CREATOR GOD’s Righteous Kingdom that will exist upon this Earth, and he will know to be the perfect role model for living GOD’s LAW in Righteousness.

I have never read where Kings David and Solomon called themselves “Messiah.”

“And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD; And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears: But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked. And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins.” Isaiah 11:1 – 5

“And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.” Isaiah 11:10

And this Righteous Kingdom will be all about serving, worshipping, and PRAISING the GOD of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and about representing HIM and spreading HIS Laws, Statutes, and Judgments throughout this world, in order that the CREATOR GOD of Israel will be Magnified and will receive all the Praise and all the Glory, so that people will abandon the “New Testament” and its theology. Have no doubts about it, the son of David will rule from Jerusalem and the GOD of Heaven and Earth will rule over all (Psalm 103:19).

I find nothing in GOD’s WORD to support an existence of HIS Kingdom in Israel under the control of Gentile Jews. Ben Ammi has deceived hundreds into believing this lie that he is the Messianic leader of GOD’s Kingdom. How long are we going to follow leaders who use GOD’s Holy Name in vain?!

Taking heed to keep GOD’s LAW would entail staying as far from Ben Ammi as possible. And the fact that HE keeps his stores open on GOD’s Holy Day of Complete REST is a darn good red flag and eye-opener that shouts to stay away from this leader, as of a Truth, he does not FEAR the GOD of Israel to do HIS Will. And what better information exists from Our GOD to prove Ben Ammi to be one who defies the All-Mighty GOD!

“To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.” Isaiah 8:20

This passage is the best gauge Israelites have for determining and for understanding who to accept as a genuine leader or know who FEARS the Holy ONE of Israel. If Ben Ammi and the people of his camp defy the Most High GOD of Israel, then why join with them, and why take part in their beliefs unfounded in GOD’s LAW and in their disobedience?

“Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.” Psalm 1:1,2

“I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked.” Psalm 26:5

“If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:” Psalm 66:18

“Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practise wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties.” Psalm 141:4

“Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the LORD hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me. The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider. Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.” Isaiah 1:2 - 4

Another perfect incident that serves to explain why we cannot join with people who break GOD’s LAW concerns Jehoshaphat and Ahziah. And does it ever speak VOLUMES!

“And after this did Jehoshaphat king of Judah join himself with Ahaziah king of Israel, who did very wickedly: And he joined himself with him to make ships to go to Tarshish: and they made the ships in Eziongaber. Then Eliezer the son of Dodavah of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, Because thou hast joined thyself with Ahaziah, the LORD hath broken thy works. And the ships were broken, that they were not able to go to Tarshish.” II Chronicles 20:35 – 37

Let’s not pretend we don’t know about our past and how our stiffnecked and rebellious forebears loved to be connected with evildoers and how they encouraged the lawful to follow wickedness. At least admit to what THUS SAITH THE LORD!

At this late day and in the time of Jacob’s Trouble, why would we even consider joining with Ben Ammi or with anyone or with any congregation that does not make GOD’s LAW the Paths of Righteousness to follow and walk? Our GOD of Israel promises us that if we return to HIM and HIS LAW, that then we can return to our heritage (Deuteronomy 30:1-4). If people will join with Ben Ammi, then for them GOD’s Promise is made void.

“And ye shall know that I am the LORD: for ye have not walked in my statutes, neither executed my judgments, but have done after the manners of the heathen that are round about you.” Ezekiel 11:12

“Why criest thou for thine affliction? thy sorrow is incurable for the multitude of thine iniquity: because thy sins were increased, I have done these things unto thee.” Jeremiah 30:15

“And hast given them this land, which thou didst swear to their fathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey; And they came in, and possessed it; but they obeyed not thy voice, neither walked in thy law; they have done nothing of all that thou commandedst them to do: therefore thou hast caused all this evil to come upon them:” Jeremiah 32:22,23

What a crime! Ben Ammi was among the blessed to return, but just like his rebellious forefathers, he, too, refuses to be obedient to the LAWS of the GOD of Israel.

The WORD of the GOD of Israel also condemns Ben Ammi for calling himself a “Messianic Leader” in order to gather Israelites and Christians into his fold. But in no way does he emulate the “Old Testament” men of GOD!

Was Moses, Joshua, Samuel, the kings of Israel, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, or any of the other Prophets who promoted GOD’s Book of the Law and who spoke “THUS SAITH THE LORD” called a Messiah? Do we need this? Is this something required of us to have before us?

I listened to a Brother in Paltalk Chat go to extremes to contrive a justifiable explanation for Ben Ammi calling himself a Messiah. The Truth of the matter is that this word is not even connected with Hebrew-Israelite Culture. “Jews” and Christians and the Book of Daniel and the “New Testament” are very much associated with the word “Messiah,” but not the Israelites who wandered forty years in the Wilderness and inhabited the Land of Israel. And if Moses was NOT given this C.E. terminology to introduce to the Children of Israel, then there is no reason for us to know about it at all. There isn’t even ANY information in this Book of Daniel or in the “New Testament” that is essential for Israelites to know and do – none at all. All that the GOD of Israel required of us to know and do was given to HIS Servant Moses and is reiterated in the books of HIS Prophets who utter “THUS SAITH THE LORD.” There is no “THUS SIAITH THE LORD” in the Book of Daniel or in the “New Testament.” Both of these books were written AFTER GOD scattered HIS Chosen People, Israel, from the land. That being the case, this literature is suspect, and proof of this is the fact that the Israelites were scattered to live in “Darkness” and to serve their enemies. So, why would the Holy ONE give them any information about seventy weeks or seventy years or seventy anything?

And even if this information is for a time after the Israelites return, the information still makes no sense. “And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week…” (Daniel 9:27). This verse contradicts what “THUS SAITH THE LORD” about HIS Covenant in Jeremiah 31:31 – 34 and in Ezekiel 20:37. And not one of GOD’s Prophets makes mention of this event in the Book of Daniel.

Just for the record, “THUS SAITH THE LORD” is mentioned more than 400 times in the “Old Testament” but not even once in the Book of Daniel or in the “New Testament.” That’s no mistake. That’s for us to think logically and connect the dots! Therefore, when we do the research concerning the year the Book of Daniel was probably written, we will see that this Book of Daniel and the “New Testament” were written to deceive Israelites, and, thus, we have no reason to accept the information in either of these books as being GOD’s WORD.

GOD’s Covenants – HIS LAW and HIS Promises, as well as the “New Covenant” spoken of in Jeremiah 31:31-34 - will resume upon our return to our heritage. And there is no other WORD of GOD to have us believe that any one of these Covenants will be one week. Actually, when you consider what’s written in Daniel 9:27, none of this chapter makes any sense whatsoever.

“He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations. Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac; And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant:” Psalm 105:8 – 10

“Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he heard their cry: And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his mercies.” Psalm 106:44,45

The Holy ONE of Israel has not only remembered HIS Covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, but HE has opened our eyes to the fact that WE ARE HIS PEOPLE, but unfortunately, too many of us do not choose to do that which is necessary to stay in HIS good graces.

Another serious issue is that certain people credit Ben Ammi with moving Israelites to Liberia and then on to Israel. The GOD of Israel did not say that Ben Ammi would deliver HIS People. HE said that HE would, and when HE does, for sure HE wants all the GLORY, every whit! HE got all the GLORY in the Israelite Deliverance out of Egypt, and HE, unequivocally, will be Exalted AGAIN upon the return of the Remnant of Israel that GOD promises HE WILL GATHER. To suggest or even think for a moment that Ben Ammi deserves recognition for that which is due to the Holy ONE of Israel leads me to believe that some of us, being Israelites, have truly lost sight of what’s important to know and understand. It would appear that the Holy ONE is again proving Israelites to determine who will and who will not enter into HIS Glorious Kingdom.

And just because people think Ben Ammi to be prosperous and have more than other congregations is no reason to boast about the advancements he has made. When I hear this, I am constantly reminded of the “green bay tree” in Psalms.

“Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.” Psalm 37:1 – 3

“I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree. Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found. Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace.” Psalm 37:35 - 37

“They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches; None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him:” Psalm 49:6,7

“Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.” Psalm 127:1

It would appear that people don’t yet get the full understanding of the above verse that is loaded with Truth, conviction, and certainty. Time proves everything! The Flood of Noah’s Day and the scattering of the Nation of Israel into the Four Corners of the Earth are proven facts that the CREATOR GOD of Israel does not tolerate people taking HIS Name in vain, disobedience of HIS LAW, and the worship of false gods and even of man.

Ben Ammi is not “perfect.” He, himself, said in 1996 that he is doing 60%. Thus, he isn’t even close to being “the perfect man.” He is failing and falling fast! His works and teachings speak volumes. We have history to probe for what “THUS SAITH THE LORD” and for what required of us. AND we have read what has happened to Israelites who stray from GOD’s LAW in order to establish their own direction. We have book after book in the “Old Testament” that gives us all the information we need concerning rebellious Israelites. We know what the GOD of Israel did to them, and we know that HE has not changed HIS Ordinances one iota, and that HE will NEVER change them. Hence, knowing all this, and knowing what the GOD of Moses has said about HIS LAW and the consequences for not keeping it (in Deuteronomy 28^th Chapter), knowing that HE will MAGNIFY HIS LAW and put it in our hearts, knowing that we were scattered for not observing this Divine LAW, would Our GOD of Israel send such a leader as Ben Ammi who has no regard for HIS LAW but rather for magnifying himself and a bogus “KOY”? Perfect men of GOD do not grandstand and promote adverse teachings. They vehemently stress doing the WORD of the GOD of Israel and with “ONE” mindset.

Without question, “the perfect man” FEARS the GOD of Israel to live and do HIS Book of the Law. It is accepting GOD’s Righteousness and to live by it that is our ticket into the CREATOR GOD of Israel’s Peaceful Kingdom. It is not Ben Ammi’s veggie and no-salt diets. Ben Ammi is not concerned about GOD’s LAW, and neither is the GOD of Israel in his thoughts. This “KOY” in Dimona is really nothing more than the Kingdom of Ben Ammi, and he is no more the “Saviour” that he is called than is the jc of the “New Testament.” Ben Ammi and the other leaders in his Camp know exactly how to run their game, and those who they beguile either know nothing of the GOD of Israel and HIS LAW, or they have chosen to forget the GOD of Israel and HIS LAW and listen to and believe in a man whose foundation is built on lies, corruption, and death. Therefore, I caution everyone to be very cautious of what is believed, and the reason is that if we CHOOSE to believe in wickedness, then GOD will help to encourage that false belief.

“Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not hearkened unto my words, nor to my law, but rejected it.”

Jeremiah 6:19

“Because Ephraim hath made many altars to sin, altars shall be unto him to sin.” Hosea 8:11

What wills Israelites to turn from the WORD of GOD? What force is there that can make GOD’s Chosen People defy HIM? Never mind. I don’t think I want to know. In any case, those who join with Ben Ammi should know that you give up your assets and you are expected to conform to the expectations of the Camp, and you will adhere to WILL adhere to their ways or be punished by beatings and losing your flamboyant “title.” What a scam, the best since the advent of Christianity. However, only the Holy ONE will prove them a fraud and with the Righteous Remnant HE is calling – HIS Chosen Ones who have determined to serve and worship ONLY HIM.

“And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.” Joel 2:32

“For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth. The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.” Psalm 10:3,4

“My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad. O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.” Psalm 34:2,3

“In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ever. Selah.” Psalm 44:8

Is this a time for us to boast? Ben Ammi is subject to the will of Gentile Jews. Why is he boasting, and why are others boasting for him? Is this not a time to turn to the Most High GOD of Israel and boast of HIM and seek HIM for understanding IN HIS LAW and in HIS WORD to HIS Prophets? Should we not thirst and hunger for GOD’s Truth?

“All the commandments which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers. And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no. And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.” Deuteronomy 8:3

Ezekiel speaks about the Holy ONE of Israel gathering us and taking us into a SECOND WILDERNESS. If Ben Ammi, or anyone for that matter, does not observe GOD’s Holy Seventh Day of Complete REST, as it is written, will he not be purged, as the GOD of Israel has said? Can it really be that the CREATOR GOD of the Heavens and the Earth will allow Ben Ammi and his Camp to fast on HIS Holy Day and have his restaurants open defying HIS Commandment? Come on, People! Who is fooling whom?

“And I will bring you out from the people, and will gather you out of the countries wherein ye are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out. And I will bring you into the wilderness of the people, and there will I plead with you face to face. Like as I pleaded with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I plead with you, saith the Lord GOD. And I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant: And I will purge out from among you the rebels, and them that transgress against me: I will bring them forth out of the country where they sojourn, and they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.” Ezekiel 20:34 – 38

Ironically, from this passage, Ben Ammi will not enter into the very Kingdom he boasts.

“And he spake unto the congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of their's, lest ye be consumed in all their sins.” Numbers 16:26

“I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked.” Psalm 26:5

Surely, we know about Israelites who speak of the Holy ONE of Israel with their lips but have hearts far from HIM. This is the case with all Israel who acknowledge the Holy ONE of Israel but DO NOT live by HIS Book of the Law, as it is written.

“Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody men.” Isaiah 59:2

Some of us might think it is all right to join with congregations that defy GOD’s LAW, but this is wholly against doing what Thus Saith the LORD. The Holy ONE of Israel is not impressed with the direction some of us have taken. First of all, we do not need leaders. Our Merciful GOD has brought us out of darkness in revealing to us our true identity and has made us know that we are more than just descendants of Slaves. HE did this because of HIS Promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and because we are HIS Chosen People. Wake up, Israel! We need Our GOD, the Holy ONE of Israel. We can call upon HIM for direction, wisdom, and understanding. That’s why HE is Our GOD. HE does not tell us to call upon HIM for naught. HE did not say trust not in a friend for naught. HE did not say that those who follow after evil leaders will be destroyed for naught (Isaiah 9:16). Our GOD has always wanted to be the center of our lives and of our world. And if we are obedient and will devote our lives to HIM, HE will be our LEADER, and for choosing HIM, we will not thirst or want for any good thing. And at the designated time, HE promises to send us HIS Pastors. But until then, trust in ONLY Our GOD of Israel and see HIS miraculous WORKS for those HE loves!

People have come forward with information on Ben Ammi, and the Brother promoting the so-called “Keys to the Kingdom” is aware of this. I have also posted information on Ben Ammi and his camp to the LawKeepers Forum. And if people will still join with him, after learning about this useless kingdom, then they certainly have no one but themselves to blame for whatever might befall them. More importantly, those who will read this Message and will still seek to join and be associated with the Ben Ammi Camp can’t say they didn’t know and certainly won’t be able to plead ignorance. They can’t say their leaders are at fault. They can’t say they believed in a Brother whom they thought knew what he was talking about with some “Keys to the Kingdom.” And the reason they cannot feign all these excuses is because all GOD’s warnings and counsel are written in HIS LAW and in HIS WORD to HIS Prophets. “TAKE DILIGENT HEED…” Also, HE provides knowledge to those who earnestly seek it. The Holy ONE of Israel is a Most Merciful GOD and SAVIOR and has covered ALL bases, and HE has left out nothing of significance for us to know and do. Our GOD of Israel has even left us with HIS WORD and good reason why we should not trust in man.

“Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help. His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish. Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God: Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever:” Psalm 146:3 - 6

“Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom.” Micah 7:5

I feel like this: If I am going to fall by the wayside, it will not be because of following some stiffnecked, grandstanding, rebellious Israelite leaders. In that respect, I have learned what not to do very well and mainly from watching lawless Israelites in Ben Ammi’s Camp and listening to him speak the imaginations of his heart.

The Dry Bones have a chance to live and serve and worship the Holy ONE of Israel, but only if we will return to HIM (not to Ben Ammi) to FEAR ONLY HIM and be obedient to the Ways of the CREATOR GOD of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. It has been more than 2,500 years since we lost our heritage. And the only way we will return to it is by looking to our SAVIOR, Our ONLY HELP.

With Ben Ammi there is an arm of flesh; but with us is the LORD Our GOD to help us if we will only let HIM. But we must take diligent heed to follow HIS Paths of Righteousness. May Our Holy ONE of Israel bless the man courageous enough to speak HIS Truth and stand up for HIS LAW, the ONLY True Path of Righteousness.

“Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy; To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine. Our soul waiteth for the LORD: he is our help and our shield. For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.” Psalm 33:18 – 21

“Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man. Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.” Psalm 60:11,12

“Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.” Psalm 124:8

Wake up, Israel. It is a fact that Ben Ammi does not live by GOD’s LAW. This we know! And since he doesn’t, the so-called KOY, under the leadership of Ben Ammi is just another Messianic congregation in deep trouble with the GOD of Israel. As for me, I shall serve the Most High GOD of Israel and strive to be perfect in HIS LAW. And all those who FEAR the GOD of Israel will do likewise. Going home in no way entails joining Ben Ammi’s congregation, and if this is what you believe, then you are greatly deceived.

“In those days, and in that time, saith the LORD, the children of Israel shall come, they and the children of Judah together, going and weeping: they shall go, and seek the LORD their God.” Jeremiah 50:4

“O thou that art named the house of Jacob, is the spirit of the LORD straitened? are these his doings? do not my words do good to him that walketh uprightly?”

Micah 2:7

“And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and HE WILL TEACH US OF HIS WAYS, and we will walk in his paths: for THE LAW SHALL GO FORTH OF ZION, AND THE WORD OF THE LORD FROM JERUSALEM.” Micah 4:2 (Caps. are mine.)

WAKE UP, ISRAEL! Our GOD is calling us, and HE is being very selective. HE is only taking Israelites who will vow themselves to HIM and to HIS LAW. For that reason, there will only be a “Remnant” to make it to GOD’s Kingdom – only a Remnant.

“But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him. Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah. Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.” Psalm 4:3 - 5

So, be aware, and TAKE DILIGENT HEED. This is our last shot to be returned to our heritage.

“The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him. But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die. All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live. Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord GOD: and not that he should return from his ways, and live? But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die.” Ezekiel 18:20 - 24

Thus, it is most critical that GOD FEARING Israelites discern right from wrong and denounce defiance and disobedience to GOD’s LAW.

“But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children; To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.” Psalm 103:17,18

And at the same time we must embrace wisdom and knowledge and abide by it. Don’t waste precious time on a NOTORIOUS leader who has no respect for the “SIGN” of GOD’s Holy Seventh Day Sabbath of REST that binds us with Our GOD of Israel. The last thing Israelites who seek the GOD of Israel need is to hear a philosophy inconsistent with that of GOD’s Book of the Law.

What a shame to have people’s stomachs growling from their hunger pains and incessantly thinking of what they will eat when the Sabbath is ended, rather than thinking about the Mercies of the SAVIOR GOD of Israel and giving Glory to HIM for giving us a Blessed Day of REST. How do I know all this? I’ve been there and done that! What a shame to have people not enjoying food on GOD’s Seventh Day Sabbath and their giving in to blessed slumber and rest on full stomachs. WHAT A SHAME! Ben Ammi forgets that this Seventh Day is the CREATOR’s Anniversary, and it is HE that has COMMANDED, how HE wants it observed. To his hurt, Ben Ammi does not see it that way.

Those who decline from GOD’s Ways of Righteousness can expect to literally go mad and die. This is GOD’s WORD – not mine! Ben Ammi initially taught GOD’s LAW and as far as I knew abided by it. Actually, this was the reason I joined “Abeta Israel,” the Israelite congregation in which he was a member. But he allowed a former Christian preacher who joined his group to entice him to be the “Messiah” and “Saviour” of the Nation of Israel. By the way, his congregation does for sure call him “Lord and Saviour.” I have heard a woman make reference to him as being that, and Asiel, the so-called “KOY” Ambassador confirms that Ben Ammi saved him. He made this statement in the Paltalk Chat a few months ago. For this reason, Ben Ammi has gone, not just mad but, stark raving mad. I feel it is important to inform you that the woman (Rachel) who called Ben Ammi “Lord and Saviour” is now deceased. And just for the record, the man who is supposed to have “anointed” Ben Ammi is dead and has been dead for a long time, now.

ISRAEL DOES NOT KNOW!

“The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat from God.” Psalm 104:21

Why can’t we just seek Our GOD of Israel and be obedient to what HE requires of us? After all, HIS Book of the Law and HIS WORD to HIS Prophets are our Bread of Life.

“Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the LORD that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself; That frustrateth the tokens of the liars, and maketh diviners mad; that turneth wise men backward, and maketh their knowledge foolish;” Isaiah 44:24,25

King David Feared and loved the GOD of Israel with all his heart and soul, and we have him as evidence that we, also, can indeed be people after GOD’s own heart. Notice his Psalm 101:

“I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O LORD, will I sing. I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart. I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me. A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person. Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer. Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve me. He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight. I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut off all wicked doers from the city of the LORD.”

I question the motives of those who promote Ben Ammi’s so-called “KOY” and disseminate information leading people to believe that he is a Messiah. Ben Ammi’s works judge him to be nothing more than a Lawbreaker who is steadfastly working against the WORD of the GOD of Israel, and who is relentlessly expounding on his books, his diets, his authority, his being a Messiah, and his “Kingdom of Ben Ammi.”

Wake up, Israel, and take diligent heed to the LAW and WORD of the GOD of Israel before it is too late. Our GOD is taking back HIS Universe, and I PRAISE HIM, for I hate this world system that enables people to live as they choose rather than live by “every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD…” (Deuteronomy 8:3).

“I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being. My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the LORD. Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless thou the LORD, O my soul. Praise ye the LORD.”

Psalm 104:33 – 35

“Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from among the heathen, to give thanks unto thy holy name, and to triumph in thy praise. Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting…” Psalm 106:47

“For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.” Psalm 5:12

WHO IS ON THE LORD’s SIDE, make haste to return to HIM and to HIS Book of the Law and to live and do it in Righteousness with your whole heart and soul!

BLESSED BE THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL FOR HIS MERCIFUL KINDNESS TOWARDS THOSE WHO SEEK HIM AND WHO ARE OBEDIENT TO HIS LAW!

Me and My GOD with me,

Tziona Yisrael

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

REFLECTING ON GOD’S WORD IN REGARD TO

HIS SEVENTH DAY SABBATH COMMANDMENT!

REMEMBER, THIS IS HIS ANNIVERSARY DAY OF REST,

AND OUR DAY TO KEEP IN REST AND AS A SIGN BETWEEN

HIM AND THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL!

“Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.

And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made;

and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.

And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it:

because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.”

Genesis 2:1 – 3

“…the LORD hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth

you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place,

let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.”

Exodus 16:29

“…this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all the ways

that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you.

But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in the counsels

and in the imagination of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward.”

Jeremiah 7:23,24

“And say thou unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel;

Cursed be the man that obeyeth not the words of this covenant,

Which I commanded your fathers in the day that I brought them forth

out of the land of Egypt, from the iron furnace, saying, Obey my voice,

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

Jeremiah 11:3,4

As most of you know, I am a firm believer in living GOD’s Book of the Law, and that I strongly stress observance of GOD’s Holy Seventh Day Sabbath that HE proclaimed a “SIGN” between HIM and HIS Chosen People, Israel. To strengthen the great significance of GOD’s Hallowed Seventh Day, HE used this Day of REST to prove HIS People, the Israelites, to see if they would walk in HIS LAW, or no (Exodus 16:4).

It didn’t take GOD long to find out that HIS Chosen People HE had JUST DELIVERED out of Egyptian bondage by HIS Mighty Hand before their very eyes, did not FEAR HIM to be OBEDIENT to HIS COMMANDMENT of the Holy Seventh Day of Rest. The Holy ONE of Israel made no comment when the Israelites left the Manna “til the morning and it bred worms and stank.” But, it was Moses who “was wroth with them.” However, when some of the Children of Israel went out on the Seventh Day Sabbath to gather Manna, this, without a doubt, deeply upset the Holy ONE of Israel.

“And it came to pass, that there went out some of the people on the seventh day for to gather, and they found none. And the LORD said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws?” Exodus 16:27,28

The Israelites had failed their test! It is obvious that the Holy ONE DID NOT want the Israelites leaving their places on HIS Holy Seventh Day of COMPLETE REST (Shabbatone in Hebrew). And for some of us, if this is not understood, then Exodus 16:29 makes GOD’s COMMANDMENT perfectly clear without a shadow of a doubt.

“…the LORD hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.”

The questions now become, Is the Holy ONE of Israel still proving us to see if we “will walk in HIS LAW, or no?” Is HE still using HIS Holy Sabbath Day as an indicator, and are we at liberty to violate GOD’s COMMANDMENT “to abide every man in his place on the Seventh Day”? Also, can we be expected to return to our heritage if we do violate this COMMANDMENT?

“Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they shewed difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.” Ezekiel 22:26

Perhaps at this point, I should make readers aware of the basis for this particular post.

Before the recent “KenesiYAH Conference” in Jackson, Tennessee held on November 12 – 14, a notice was circulated stating, “This Conference Stars YHWH King Of The Universe!!”

Because the Conference called for activities on GOD’s Holy Sabbath Day of Complete REST, I knew that most of the attendees, if not all, would be leaving their places (homes and hotel rooms) on the Seventh Day, November 13, to take part in whatever was being offered on GOD’s Holy Day. In my heart, I was immediately critical of this Conference for going against GOD’s COMMANDMENT to abide in our places on the Seventh Day of Rest. Also, knowing fully well that the GOD of Israel is against bearing burdens on HIS Holy Sabbath Day, I thought to challenge the promoter for circulating that “This Conference Stars YHWH King Of the Universe” - words that were clearly construed to draw a crowd but displeased YIHOVAH. And I wasn’t at all in agreement with charging a fee to attend the Conference, either.

However, I, for some reason, changed my mind about contacting the promoter. And in the interim, I learned that the Conference was a success and people had really gotten something out of this gathering. Then I thought to myself how wonderful it is for Israelites to Glory and PRAISE the Holy ONE and rejoice in revering ONLY HIM. I also thought that the GOD of Israel might have been truly pleased with the Conference and that perhaps HE had changed the WAY HE wants us to observe HIS Holy Seventh Day of REST. I told myself that perhaps we CAN indeed gather and teach on this Hallowed Day. Although I had these thoughts, I didn’t seek the Holy ONE for clarification on the matter. And I left it at that without considering putting this notion of gathering on the Sabbath to the test and without further thoughts about the issue until this past Friday, November 19, just a few days after the Conference ended when the Holy ONE of Israel gave me clarification on the matter.

On this Friday, while going about my daily readings, the Holy ONE showed me that we must keep HIS LAW, as it is written or face the consequences. And no matter how zealous and passionate we are about our concerns to worship Our GOD of Israel, and no matter how jubilant and how much Praise and admiration we bestow upon HIM in a Conference, in a parade, or in the privacy of our homes, we have got to remain bound and TRUE to HIS LAWS – ALL OF THEM - to remember to do and observe them, as HE has COMMANDED, for this Divine LAW IS OUR LIFE and is to be kept (as it is written) FOREVER!

“And he said unto them, Set your hearts unto all the words which I testify among you this day, which ye shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of this law. For it is not a vain thing for you; because it is your life: and through this thing ye shall prolong your days in the land, whither ye go over Jordan to possess it.” Deuteronomy 32:46,47

“Therefore thou shalt love the LORD thy God, and keep his charge, and his statutes, and his judgments, and his commandments, alway.” Deuteronomy 11:1

“These are the statutes and judgments, which ye shall observe to do in the land, which the LORD God of thy fathers giveth thee to possess it, all the days that ye live upon the earth.” Deuteronomy 12:1

“But the LORD, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great power and a stretched out arm, him shall ye fear, and him shall ye worship, and to him shall ye do sacrifice. And the statutes, and the ordinances, and the law, and the commandment, which he wrote for you, ye shall observe to do for evermore; and ye shall not fear other gods.” II Kings 17:36,37

The passage the Holy ONE showed me in Scripture that caused me to recall the November 12 – 13 KenesiYAH Conference and the activities held on GOD’s Holy Seventh Day of Rest entailed the relocation of GOD’s Ark. I did not search for this passage. This passage was brought to me…ALL PRAISES DUE TO THE HOLY ONE!

“And David and all Israel played before God with all their might, and with singing, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with cymbals, and with trumpets.” I Chronicles 13:8

Without a doubt, King David and ALL Israel played before GOD WITH ALL THEIR MIGHT with SINGING, HARPS, PSALTERIES, TIMBRELS, CYMBOLS, and TRUMPETS. For sure the Israelites made a great tumultuous noise in sincere PRAISE of the Most High GOD of Israel. And indeed HE was taking notice!

I remember many years ago reading this passage for the very first time thinking about how wonderful it was for Israel to Praise GOD and how pleased HE must have been seeing HIS People Exalting HIM with such joyfulness and fervor. But at that time, as I continued reading the chapter, something happened in the passage that I’m sure has caused Israelites and the Stranger alike to wonder why this GOD of Israel would so severely punish a man, during this moment of exultation and joy of HIM, for putting forth his hand to steady HIS Ark. I read on with great sorrow for Uzza, seeking a valid reason for his death.

“And when they came unto the threshingfloor of Chidon, Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled. And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzza, and he smote him, because he put his hand to the ark: and there he died before God.” I Chronicles 13:9,10

The valid reason was and still is KEEP GOD’s LAWS for HE will not forgo punishment if we don’t. For me, this passage was a tremendous wakeup call that made me realize that no matter what…we, Israelites, must take heed to obey all GOD’s COMMANDMENTS, as they are written. And when in doubt, rather than assume the wrong decision, err on the side of caution, i.e., err on the side of what's written. Then we can always say, "We followed the Commandment that is written in GOD's Book of the Law!

The Conference of November 12 – 14, I’m sure was well organized with the Holy ONE in mind to draw as many people as possible and to make as much money as possible. But given GOD’s LAW of the Holy Sabbath Day to “abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the Seventh Day,” has GOD given HIS consent and endorsed leaving our places, driving cars, teaching, and holding a Sabbath Service on this Seventh Day of Complete REST? Now, since reading the passage about Uzza, I know for sure, the Holy ONE of Israel has not changed HIS LAW of the Sabbath. It is yet valid, and we are bound to it, as well as to ALL of GOD’s LAWS. And like Nehemiah, I remind everyone of how our forefathers profaned GOD’s Holy Day of REST even after having just returned to the land out of Babylonian captivity.

“Did not your fathers thus, and did not our God bring all this evil upon us, and upon this city? yet ye bring more wrath upon Israel by profaning the sabbath.”

Nehemiah 13:18

If we are specifically advised to keep GOD’s Sabbath or be punished with death, that our servants, oxen, asses, and cattle are also supposed to rest, as well, and COMMANDED NOT to bear burdens on the Holy Seventh Day of Rest, then we have no business scheduling activities on this Holy Shabbatone (Sabbath of Complete REST Day). If the Holy ONE wanted us assembling on HIS Holy Seventh Day of Rest, then HE would not have COMMANDED us to abide in our places on this Day of REST!!! Surely that makes a lot of sense, right?

“But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.” Exodus 20:10,11

“Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the LORD that doth sanctify you. Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people. Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.” Exodus 31:13 - 15

“Six days thou shalt labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thine ox, nor thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates; that thy manservant and thy maidservant may rest as well as thou.” Deuteronomy 5:13,14

“And it came to pass, that when the gates of Jerusalem began to be dark before the sabbath, I commanded that the gates should be shut, and charged that they should not be opened till after the sabbath: and some of my servants set I at the gates, that there should no burden be brought in on the sabbath day.”

Nehemiah 13:19

“Thus saith the LORD; Take heed to yourselves, and bear no burden on the sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem; Neither carry forth a burden out of your houses on the sabbath day, neither do ye any work, but hallow ye the sabbath day, as I commanded your fathers. But they obeyed not, neither inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, nor receive instruction. And it shall come to pass, if ye diligently hearken unto me, saith the LORD, to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the sabbath day, but hallow the sabbath day, to do no work therein; Then shall there enter into the gates of this city kings and princes sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they, and their princes, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and this city shall remain for ever.” Jeremiah 17:21 – 25

“But if ye will not hearken unto me to hallow the sabbath day, and not to bear a burden, even entering in at the gates of Jerusalem on the sabbath day; then will I kindle a fire in the gates thereof, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched.” Jeremiah 17:27

Although there is nothing written above about picking up sticks on the Holy Sabbath Day of REST, GOD condemned a man to death for this act (Numbers 15:32-35). Doesn’t this sentence of death expound upon the great importance of observing this Holy Day, as it is written and not according to what we feel is acceptable? Of course it does! GOD is as serious as a heart attack about our KEEPING HIS Holy Seventh Day of COMPLETE REST and about JUDGING us if we profane it. Other than picking up sticks on GOD’s Holy Seventh Day of REST, what else might we do to cause Our GOD of Israel to be angry and “smite” or condemn us to death as HE did with Uzza and the man who was found picking up sticks on HIS Holy Seventh Day Sabbath? What about CARRYING all the books, charts, video equipment, teaching aids, and other paraphernalia we need for instruction and for the operation of the Conference? Who are we fooling? All of us are aware of what it entails to organize and hold a Conference. It takes a lot of WORK, as well as a lot of energy to sustain each day’s agenda, and I am only making reference to the activities that are scheduled on GOD’s Holy Seventh Day Sabbath.

What about the hot meals served at the hotels or at the meeting place on the Holy Seventh Day when we are COMMANDED to prepare on the Sixth Day the food to be eaten on the Seventh Day of REST? What about burdening someone to bear even sandwiches and beverages to drink if food is served at the meeting place? What about getting from the hotel to the meeting place? What about driving or being driven to the meeting place? Think about all the work that transpires on a three-day Conference that includes GOD’s Holy Day of COMPLETE REST.

And when we involve ourselves in all these transactions, we say, “This Conference Stars YHWH King Of The Universe.” I don’t think so! As a matter of fact, I know what “Thus Saith the LORD,” and I know better! According to HIS WORD, HE is not pleased and no more pleased with us than HE was with Uzza, King David, and the others. I also know that Our GOD is not pleased with our charging a fee to hear HIS WORD.

“The heads thereof judge for reward, and the priests thereof teach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money: yet will they lean upon the LORD, and say, Is not the LORD among us? none evil can come upon us.” Micah 3:11

I see nothing wrong with Israelites devising ways to raise money, but given the above verse, we should keep GOD’s Ways out of such plans, i.e., don’t make money off of the WORD of GOD. By all means, create jobs, have dances, parties, sell dinners, plan spring, summer, and winter attractions, and keep them above suspicion, but don’t include a fee if at all GOD’s WORD is involved. Let us be about following GOD’s Counsel and not that of our own. And I can’t stress enough that it does not entail charging and paying money to hear HIS Truth. When our hearts are right, Our GOD prospers our way. When our hearts are NOT right, there is no peace to the wicked.

When GOD did not pardon what Uzza did while King David and the Israelites were rejoicing before the Holy ONE giving HIM Praise and Glory, then what imaginations of our hearts think we can be pardoned for breaking GOD’s Law of the Seventh Day when HE distinctly COMMANDED us to “ABIDE YE EVERY MAN IN HIS PLACE, LET NO MAN GO OUT OF HIS PLACE ON THE SEVENTH DAY”? Is this not a COMMANDMENT? If you agree that it is, then how can we justify leaving our places on this Holy Seventh Day of REST to participate in any kind of service - Conference, Unity Shabbot or other function? We have more than enough time to schedule get-togethers and have spiritual assemblies. None of these gatherings should be scheduled for the Holy Seventh Day of COMPLETE REST. And regardless of what different Messianic leaders or Prophets or Levites might say to justify it, there is NO Scripture to support such meetings on GOD’s Holy Seventh Day. The Children of Israel did not gather or assemble on the Seventh Day in the Wilderness, and they are dead wrong to do so now! The GOD of Israel does not change, and HE is not going to change HIS Law of the Holy Seventh Day that dates back to the end of HIS CREATION. The Law of the Seventh Day Sabbath is to REST and keep the day “Holy.”

“Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.” Genesis 2:1 – 3

“Thou camest down also upon mount Sinai, and spakest with them from heaven, and gavest them right judgments, and true laws, good statutes and commandments: And madest known unto them thy holy sabbath, and commandedst them precepts, statutes, and laws, by the hand of Moses thy servant:” Nehemiah 9:13,14

GOD’s Holy Seventh Day is an anniversary in remembrance of the Six Days it took HIM to CREATE the Heavens and the Earth and all things therein. Therefore, regardless of how much we invest in this day being of spiritual significance in Conferences or other affairs to show forth HIS Praise, we are so wrong to do so. And it’s simply because Our GOD wants us in our places on HIS Holy Seventh Day Sabbath. By the way, if the Conference is on a weekend, there is nothing wrong with staying in our hotel rooms when the Sabbath begins and until it’s over.

After GOD COMMANDED us to abide in our places on HIS Holy Seventh Day, as we know, a man thought it was all right to gather sticks. Today many Israelites feel it’s quite all right to drive cars and use other means of transportation to ASSEMBLE and give Praise and Thanksgiving to Our GOD on HIS Holy Seventh Day, but when we do, we are ever so wrong. Actually, we are dead wrong!

GOD’s LAWS, COMMANDMENTS, and HIS WORD to HIS Prophets speak volumes, and unless GOD stipulated changes, there are no exceptions to HIS Ordinances. Throughout the “Old Testament,” we find that GOD sent HIS Prophets and instructed them to rise up early to go to the Israelites to urge them to return back to the LAW that HE gave to HIS Prophet Moses. I only reiterate that which has already been COMMANDED of us. And we can either accept GOD’s LAWS or contrive justification to circumvent them. If we are in agreement to accept GOD’s LAWS, then we cannot dismiss the LAW to abide in our places on GOD’s Holy Seventh Day of REST. It’s just that simple. Throughout GOD’s WORD, we learn that we must follow GOD’s LAW or face repercussions.

“But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it. See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil; In that I command thee this day to love the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it.” Deuteronomy 30:14 - 16

“Yet they obeyed not, nor inclined their ear, but walked every one in the imagination of their evil heart: therefore I will bring upon them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do; but they did them not.” Jeremiah 11:8

Let us not forget that OBEDIENCE to GOD’s LAW should be our highest priority IF it is our intention to return back to our heritage (Deuteronomy 30:1-3 and I Samuel 15:19).

“Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself. Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine: And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.”

Exodus 19:4 – 6

“But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul. When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, even in the latter days, if thou turn to the LORD thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice; (For the LORD thy God is a merciful God;) he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them.” Deuteronomy 4:29 – 31

“And Moses and the priests the Levites spake unto all Israel, saying, Take heed, and hearken, O Israel; this day thou art become the people of the LORD thy God. Thou shalt therefore obey the voice of the LORD thy God, and do his commandments and his statutes, which I command thee this day.” Deuteronomy 27:9,10

“If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name, THE LORD THY GOD; Then the LORD will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and sore sicknesses, and of long continuance. Moreover he will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt, which thou wast afraid of; and they shall cleave unto thee. Also every sickness, and every plague, which is not written in the book of this law, them will the LORD bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed.” Deuteronomy 28:58 – 61

“And thou shalt return and obey the voice of the LORD, and do all his commandments which I command thee this day. And the LORD thy God will make thee plenteous in every work of thine hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy land, for good: for the LORD will again rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers: If thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law, and if thou turn unto the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul.” Deuteronomy 30:8 – 10

“Who among you will give ear to this? who will hearken and hear for the time to come? Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the robbers? did not the LORD, he against whom we have sinned? for they would not walk in his ways, neither were they obedient unto his law.” Isaiah 42:23,24

Thus, I urge everyone to consider ALL GOD’s COMMANDMENTS, especially in regard to holding Conferences, teaching, and doing any other activities on GOD’s Holy Seventh Day of REST since we are supposed to abide in our places on this Holy Seventh Day. NO ONE is in favor of coming together to sing and give Praise to the Holy ONE of Israel, Our GOD and SAVIOR, more than myself – NO ONE! But I would make arrangements for such an occasion to be held on any day but GOD’s Seventh Day of REST! And we have six other days from which to choose for assembling and gathering for Spiritual Reunions.

Enough of seeking the imaginations of our hearts and devising new means and ways to divine and worship Our GOD of Israel. The GOD of Israel has already established how HE wants us to serve and worship HIM: according to HIS LAW and with our whole heart and soul and in Righteousness. Therefore, seek GOD’s Counsel and abide by HIS Ways that HE left written for us to follow. If revelations and the imaginations of our hearts that we embark upon are not in accord with Isaiah 8:20, then these teachings, persuasions, endeavors, events, and doings are not encouraged by Our GOD of Israel.

“To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.” Isaiah 8:20

We must not ever forget that although we are GOD’s Chosen People, “LIFE” is not about the Children of Israel. The ideal “LIFE” (style) is about keeping GOD’s Laws, Statutes, and Judgments and, in doing so, enjoying peace, happiness, and prosperity in our heritage with Our GOD in our midst! This “LIFE,” per se, is the panacea, the Divine Utopia that all peoples upon this Earth should seek for keeping GOD’s Ways of Righteousness and serving and worshipping HIM is with great rewards.

Like many of us, I seek to return to our heritage, and it will only happen when we decide to be OBEDIENT to GOD’s LAWS that HE gave to HIS Prophet Moses for us to live and do. So eager we are to be accepted, recognized, and joined with others, but is this what matters? We must be extremely cautious in all that we do. Praise is comely only for the upright. We can have a thousand with us, but if the Holy ONE of Israel is not with us, then, let’s face it, we are lost!

“The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul:

the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.

The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart:

the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.

The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever:

the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.

More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold:

sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.

Moreover by them is thy servant warned:

and in keeping of them there is great reward.”

Psalm 19:7 - 11

FEAR AND GLORY YIHOVAH AND HONOR AND KEEP ALL HIS COMMANDMENTS, LAWS, STATUTES, AND JUDGMENTS!

IT IS IN VAIN TO SEEK PROSPERITY AND RELIEF IN THIS CAPTIVITY!

Our afflictions result from the curses Our GOD put upon us, and nothing we do will alleviate this misery in America. And sooner than later, we will all come to know this truth. The death, sickness, suffering, and despair among us is too great for us to bear. Thus, it is incumbent upon us to get Our GOD’s attention to hear our supplications and change the times, in order that we will return to HIM and to our heritage and live according to HIS Ways of Righteousness. No one lives for the True and Living GOD. No one is in Jerusalem professing HIS Holy Name and Exalting HIM. And no one is making the sacrifices and offerings HE loves. IF things are to change, then we must start the process. After all, we were formed to show forth GOD’s Praise BUT in the land where HE has ordained Israelites to serve HIM (Ezekiel 20:40,41), and the United States has nothing to do with it! In America, Our GOD won’t let us forget that we were exiled to serve our enemies in their lands for our great sins against Our Loving GOD that gave us everything and more than that. When will we wake up to realize the power of our actions. Our love for our GOD and HIS LAW got us in the land flowing with milk and honey, and our transgressions against HIM got us enslaved under ruthless Gentiles. BUT if we use our energies to live according to GOD’s Book of the Law and appeal to ONLY HIM for Deliverance, rather than succumb to life in Gentile lands, then we can expect, through GOD’s Blessings, a dramatic change in our lives.

“HIS Hand is stretched out still,” and it’s up to us to determine our destiny. The “Dry Bones” CAN live but only if they will turn to the Holy ONE of Israel and live by HIS Book of the Law, as it is written.

“Therefore is the anger of the LORD kindled against his people,

and he hath stretched forth his hand against them, and hath smitten them:

and the hills did tremble, and their carcases were torn in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

And he will lift up an ensign to the nations from far, and will hiss unto them

from the end of the earth: and, behold, they shall come with speed swiftly:”

Isaiah 5:25,26

“Be ye therefore very courageous to keep and to do all that is

written in the book of the law of Moses, that ye turn not aside

therefrom to the right hand or to the left;

“That ye come not among these nations, these that remain among you;

neither make mention of the name of their gods, nor cause to swear by them, neither serve them, nor bow yourselves unto them:

“But cleave unto the LORD your God, as ye have done unto this day.”

Joshua 23:6 - 8

“And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee.”

A RENEWED MESSAGE TO ALL MESSIANICS:

GOD’S TRUTH EXPLODES BRILLIANTLY

“For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:”

Exodus 34:14

March 2011

In that JC did not save the Slaves out of Africa and has not saved the descendants of these Slaves out of this captivity, I ask, pray tell me then at what point is he supposed to stand up to his name? It has been well over 2,000 years now and this world of peoples mourn, suffer, starve, die in the millions at young ages from sicknesses, impoverishment, malnutrition, and even despair, not to mention that there is no peace and happiness not even with rich peoples and nations.

While this is a serious matter, there is another topic of even greater concern and import that wholly questions the credibility of the man-god, JC, and the “New Testament” that idolizes and magnifies him.

Let’s first look at why the GOD of Israel scattered HIS People, the Children of Israel. Throughout the Hebrew Scriptures, we learn that the Israelites repeated rejected the CREATOR GOD of Israel for false gods and rejected HIS Righteous Way of Life. They knew well that they were forbidden to add other ways of worship to GOD’s Book of the Law, as well, they could not change it either. For these reasons the GOD of Israel said HE would scatter HIS Chosen/Covenant People, the Children of Israel, throughout the “Four Corners of the Earth” into the hands of their heathenish enemies. And in these lands, they would serve gods that are no gods – gods that cannot save.

Now, here is where the GOD’s Truth explodes brilliantly:

“And the LORD shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth even unto the other; and there thou shalt serve other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood and stone. And among these nations shalt thou find no ease, neither shall the sole of thy foot have rest: but the LORD shall give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and sorrow of mind:” Deuteronomy 28:64,65

“Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, ye that are escaped of the nations: they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven image, and pray unto a god thatcannot save.” Isaiah 45:20

“Therefore hear, ye nations, and know, O congregation, what is among them. Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not hearkened unto my words, nor to my law, but rejected it. To what purpose cometh there to me incense from Sheba, and the sweet cane from a far country? your burnt offerings are not acceptable, nor your sacrifices sweet unto me. Therefore thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will lay stumblingblocks before this people, and the fathers and the sons together shall fall upon them; the neighbour and his friend shall perish. Thus saith the LORD, Behold, a people cometh from the north country, and a great nation shall be raised from the sides of the earth. They shall lay hold on bow and spear; they are cruel, and have no mercy; their voice roareth like the sea; and they ride upon horses, set in array as men for war against thee, O daughter of Zion.” Jeremiah 6:18 – 23

“I will scatter them also among the heathen, whom neither they nor their fathers have known: and I will send a sword after them, till I have consumed them.” Jeremiah 9:16

“Therefore will I scatter them as the stubble that passeth away by the wind of the wilderness.” Jeremiah 13:24

“Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.” Jeremiah 17:7

“A third part of thee shall die with the pestilence, and with famine shall they be consumed in the midst of thee: and a third part shall fall by the sword round about thee; and I will scatter a third part into all the winds, and I will draw out a sword after them.” Ezekiel 5:12

“Yet will I leave a remnant, that ye may have some that shall escape the sword among the nations, when ye shall be scattered through the countries. And they that escape of you shall remember me among the nations whither they shall be carried captives, because I am broken with their whorish heart, which hath departed from me, and with their eyes, which go a whoring after their idols: and they shall loathe themselves for the evils which they have committed in all their abominations.” Ezekiel 6:8,9

“And they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall scatter them among the nations, and disperse them in the countries.” Ezekiel 12:15

“And all his fugitives with all his bands shall fall by the sword, and they that remain shall be scattered toward all winds: and ye shall know that I the LORD have spoken it.” Ezekiel 17:21

“I lifted up mine hand unto them also in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the heathen, and disperse them through the countries; Because they had not executed my judgments, but had despised my statutes, and had polluted my sabbaths, and their eyes were after their fathers' idols.” Ezekiel 20:23,24

“Thus shall ye say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens.” Jeremiah 10:11

GOD’s WORD came to pass. HE scattered HIS People into captivity into the hands of heathens, who even now control this world of savage evils and untold wickedness, for the Children of Israel defying HIM and for turning to false gods. And, as HE said would happen, the Israelites became Slaves and lost their identity. It was at this time that the same heathens, the people GOD said would be the enemies of HIS rebellious People, took the Israelites (and all Blacks) as Slaves and converted them to the false religion - Christianity - to ensure that they would never call upon the GOD of Israel again. Since the Slave Masters converted Blacks to this false religion, Blacks have devoted the pagan “Sunday” to worship of singing and praising this man-god, JC, who has done absolutely nothing to end the misery and suffering of Black folks. And if they say otherwise, they delude themselves.

Thus, since we know that the GOD of Israel said that our wicked forefathers would be scattered into the hands of our enemies and heathens, then how can Israelites accept with conviction this religion that our cruel and barbaric captors have bestowed upon us? Israelites were Commanded to separate themselves from the Canaanites and not marry them or give their sons and daughters to them in marriage, all because these people worshipped false gods and lived heathenish lives. And the GOD of Israel knew that once they joined unto the Canaanites that they would worship their gods and forget HIM and HIS Righteous Walk of Life.

“And when the LORD thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them, and utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor shew mercy unto them: Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son. For they will turn away thy son from following me, that they may serve other gods: so will the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and destroy thee suddenly. But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy their altars, and break down their images, and cut down their groves, and burn their graven images with fire. For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.” Deuteronomy 7:2 – 6

Therefore, if the GOD of Israel said HE would cast us into the hands of our enemies/heathens (as HE certainly did), the last thing we should do after coming into the knowledge of HIM and HIS Truth is embrace their religions.

The Slave Masters had a fool-proof plan for converting their Slaves to Christianity. It was to make the Slaves believe in life and freedom in heaven and to continue with their miserable and oppressive fate without rebellion. The Slave Masters had tasted economic gain, power, and superiority over Black Peoples, and thus, their greed and thirst for continued wealth was their every desire and their reason for living. To have their Slaves believe in a false god was a welcomed idea, especially if it would advance and facilitate their agendas. And they knew that if their Slaves turned to the CREATOR GOD of Moses, that HE would save them just like HE Delivered the Children of Israel out of their captivity. The Slavers’ Plan worked well, too well, because now, these Blacks won’t let that fraudulent religion go.

Let the Children of Israel believe in THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD OF ISRAEL and in the things we know.

We know:

- We know that there is but ONE CREATOR GOD, and HE is the GOD of Jacob/Israel.

- The GOD of Israel will gather HIS Covenant People from the “Four Corners of the Earth”.

- The GOD of Israel will take HIS People into the Wilderness.

- The GOD of Israel will return the SEED of Jacob to our heritage that HE promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the people of HIS Name’s Sake.

- The GOD of Israel is OUR ONLY SAVIOR and REDEEMER!

- ONLY the CREATOR GOD that brought these curses upon us for our transgressions against HIM has the ability to end the suffering and affliction that we endure.

- Calling upon the ONE True GOD of Jacob/Israel and following HIS Ways of Righteousness is our only means of SALVATION.

It is easy for us to be numbered among the Righteous Remnant, but is only possible if we are serious and want this with all our heart, soul, and might. And then it will only come to fruition if we embrace the GOD of Israel and walk HIS Righteous Paths.

“I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.” Deuteronomy 30:19,20

“For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee.

“I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour.” Isaiah 43:3,11

These are all the more reasons why Israelites who love the GOD of Israel with all their heart, soul, and might should be striving to leave out of the countries that hold them in captivity, as well as seek after Our GOD of Israel to again show HIS Mighty HAND in our DELIVERANCE and our RE-ESTABLISHMENT for HIS Holy Name’s Sake.

“And your eyes shall see, and ye shall say, The LORD will be magnified from the border of Israel.

“For from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same my name shall be great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense shall be offered unto my name, and a pure offering: for my name shall be great among the heathen, saith the LORD of hosts.” Malachi 1:5,11

As we now know all too well, Our GOD of Israel will indeed punish us if we do not serve and worship ONLY HIM. We should realize that HE will hold us accountable to the Covenant Joshua and our forefathers made to serve and make HIM Our GOD.

“Therefore it shall come to pass, that as all good things are come upon you, which the LORD your God promised you; so shall the LORD bring upon you all evil things, until he have destroyed you from off this good land which the LORD your God hath given you. When ye have transgressed the covenant of the LORD your God, which he commanded you, and have gone and served other gods, and bowed yourselves to them; then shall the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and ye shall perish quickly from off the good land which he hath given unto you.” Joshua 23:15,16

Why believe the JEALOUS GOD of Israel that was against serving and worshipping other gods is now promoting the worship of this man-god, JC? Where in the Hebrew Scriptures is such a thing found in HIS WORDS? If the GOD of Israel was against the worship of other gods when the Israelites were in the Land of Israel, then for sure HE is against Israelites worshipping false gods in the lands of their captivity. The First Commandment makes worship of the ONE GOD of Israel perfectly clear.

“And God spake all these words, saying, I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.” Exodus 20:1 - 6

THINK! The CREATOR GOD scattered HIS People from the Land of Israel for rejecting HIM for false gods! Shouldn’t we be looking to HIM for Deliverance and for SALVATION?

“Hear the word of the LORD, O ye nations, and declare it in the isles afar off, and say,

He that scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd doth his flock.”

Jeremiah 31:10

“If ye forsake the LORD, and serve strange gods, then he will turn and do you hurt, and consume you, after that he hath done you good. And the people said unto Joshua, Nay; but we will serve the LORD. And Joshua said unto the people, Ye are witnesses against yourselves that ye have chosen you the LORD, to serve him. And they said, We are witnesses. Now therefore put away, said he, the strange gods which are among you, and incline your heart unto the LORD God of Israel. And the people said unto Joshua, The LORD our God will we serve, and his voice will we obey. So Joshua made a covenant with the people that day, and set them a statute and an ordinance in Shechem. And Joshua wrote these words in the book of the law of God, and took a great stone, and set it up there under an oak, that was by the sanctuary of the LORD. And Joshua said unto all the people, Behold, this stone shall be a witness unto us; for it hath heard all the words of the LORD which he spake unto us: it shall be therefore a witness unto you, lest ye deny your God.” Joshua 24:20 - 27

“But take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law, which Moses the servant of the LORD charged you, to love the LORD your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and to cleave unto him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul.” Joshua 22:5

WE (AND ALL PEOPLES) HAVE GOOD REASON TO HOPE IN THE GOD OF ISRAEL:

“…the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the LORD, to serve him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant; Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people. The Lord GOD which gathereth the outcasts of Israel saith, Yet will I gather others to him, beside those that are gathered unto him.” Isaiah 56:6 - 8

“…Thus saith the Lord GOD; Although I have cast them far off among the heathen, and although I have scattered them among the countries, yet will I be to them as a little sanctuary in the countries where they shall come. Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even gather you from the people, and assemble you out of the countries where ye have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.” Ezekiel 11:16,17

“But take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law, which Moses the servant of the LORD charged you, to love the LORD your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and to cleave unto him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul.” Joshua 22:5

GOD’s WORD IS CLEAR; HE IS OUR GOD AND SAVIOR!

HENCE, WE DON’T NEED JC!

“And ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.”

Jeremiah 30:22

“Thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I will lift up mine hand to the Gentiles, and set up my standard to the people: and they shall bring thy sons in their arms, and thy daughters shall be carried upon their shoulders. And kings shall be thy nursing fathers, and their queens thy nursing mothers: they shall bow down to thee with their face toward the earth, and lick up the dust of thy feet; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD: for they shall not be ashamed that wait for me. Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive delivered? But thus saith the LORD, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children. And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I the LORD am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.” Isaiah 49:22 - 26

“Thus saith the LORD, The people which were left of the sword found grace in the wilderness; even Israel, when I went to cause him to rest. The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee. Again I will build thee, and thou shalt be built, O virgin of Israel: thou shalt again be adorned with thy tabrets, and shalt go forth in the dances of them that make merry.” Jeremiah 31:2 - 4

“For there shall be a day, that the watchmen upon the mount Ephraim shall cry, Arise ye, and let us go up to Zion unto the LORD our God. For thus saith the LORD; Sing with gladness for Jacob, and shout among the chief of the nations: publish ye, praise ye, and say, O LORD, save thy people, the remnant of Israel. Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the coasts of the earth, and with them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her that travaileth with child together: a great company shall return thither. They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them: I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way, wherein they shall not stumble: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn. Hear the word of the LORD, O ye nations, and declare it in the isles afar off, and say, He that scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd doth his flock.” Jeremiah 31:6 – 10

“For the LORD hath redeemed Jacob, and ransomed him from the hand of him that was stronger than he. Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and shall flow together to the goodness of the LORD, for wheat, and for wine, and for oil, and for the young of the flock and of the herd: and their soul shall be as a watered garden; and they shall not sorrow any more at all. Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, both young men and old together: for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow. And I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness, saith the LORD. Thus saith the LORD; A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter weeping; Rahel weeping for her children refused to be comforted for her children, because they were not. Thus saith the LORD; Refrain thy voice from weeping, and thine eyes from tears: for thy work shall be rewarded, saith the LORD; and they shall come again from the land of the enemy. And there is hope in thine end, saith the LORD, that thy children shall come again to their own border.” Jeremiah 31:11 – 17

“For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land. Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you. A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them. And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.” Ezekiel 36:24 - 28

“And they shall say, This land that was desolate is become like the garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are become fenced, and are inhabited. Then the heathen that are left round about you shall know that I the LORD build the ruined places, and plant that that was desolate: I the LORD have spoken it, and I will do it. Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will yet for this be inquired of by the house of Israel, to do it for them; I will increase them with men like a flock. As the holy flock, as the flock of Jerusalem in her solemn feasts; so shall the waste cities be filled with flocks of men: and they shall know that I am the LORD.” Ezekiel 36:35 - 38

“…Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land: And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all: Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all their dwelling places, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God. And David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them. And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, even they, and their children, and their children's children for ever: and my servant David shall be their prince for ever. Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore. My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God, and they shall be my people. And the heathen shall know that I the LORD do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.” Ezekiel 37:21 - 28

“And I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the heathen shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them. So the house of Israel shall know that I am the LORD their God from that day and forward. And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity: because they trespassed against me, therefore hid I my face from them, and gave them into the hand of their enemies: so fell they all by the sword. According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions have I done unto them, and hid my face from them. Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Now will I bring again the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, and will be jealous for my holy name; After that they have borne their shame, and all their trespasses whereby they have trespassed against me, when they dwelt safely in their land, and none made them afraid. When I have brought them again from the people, and gathered them out of their enemies' lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations; Then shall they know that I am the LORD their God, which caused them to be led into captivity among the heathen: but I have gathered them unto their own land, and have left none of them any more there. Neither will I hide my face any more from them: for I have poured out my spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.” Ezekiel 39:21 – 29

THE JEALOUS GOD OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC, AND JACOB

WILL HAVE IT NO OTHER WAY!!!

“Give thanks unto the LORD, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people. Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him, talk ye of all his wondrous works. Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD. Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually. Remember his marvellous works that he hath done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth; O ye seed of Israel his servant, ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones. He is the LORD our God; his judgments are in all the earth. Be ye mindful always of his covenant; the word which he commanded to a thousand generations; Even of the covenant which he made with Abraham, and of his oath unto Isaac; And hath confirmed the same to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant, Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance; When ye were but few, even a few, and strangers in it. And when they went from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people; He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes, Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm. Sing unto the LORD, all the earth; shew forth from day to day his salvation. Declare his glory among the heathen; his marvellous works among all nations. For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised: he also is to be feared above all gods. For all the gods of the people are idols: but the LORD made the heavens. Glory and honour are in his presence; strength and gladness are in his place. Give unto the LORD, ye kindreds of the people, give unto the LORD glory and strength. Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come before him: worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness. Fear before him, all the earth: the world also shall be stable, that it be not moved. Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice: and let men say among the nations, The LORD reigneth. Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof: let the fields rejoice, and all that is therein. Then shall the trees of the wood sing out at the presence of the LORD, because he cometh to judge the earth. O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever. And say ye, Save us, O God of our salvation, and gather us together, and deliver us from the heathen, that we may give thanks to thy holy name, and glory in thy praise. Blessed be the LORD God of Israel for ever and ever. And all the people said, Amen, and praised the LORD.

HALLELUYAH! HALLELUYAH! HALLELUYAH!

MORE INFORMATION FOR MESSIANICS AND CHRISTIANS

THAT THEY CANNOT IGNORE

Few people know that the “New Testament” man, Paul, and his letters to the churches helped to start the writings of the “New Testament” in approximately 50 and 62 B.C.E. (after the so-called death of JC). Then, came the so-called “Gospels” in 70 – 90 B.C.E. But still, when people do the research, they will find that there were many writers responsible for the “New Testament” Books – some known and some unknown.

That which believers in the “New Testament” should realize is that not one of the writers of the “New Testament” collaborated with the CREATOR GOD or any one of HIS Prophets. And not only that, but this book was not written with what THUS SAITH THE LORD in mind or according to HIS Ways of Righteousness. Instead, the “New Testament” writers made it a point of changing GOD’s Ordinances and inventing a “New” religion!

During the days when man contemplated this “New” religion, Christianity, it was Marcion, a ship owner of Pontus who sought to discard the “Old Testament” altogether because he found it “REPUGNANT” (How Came The Bible by Edgar J. Goodspeed, pp. 66). And it was his idea to establish Christian writings for church service, which thus, in the end, brought about the “New Testament”. Do the people who stake their lives on the writings in the “New Testament” know this? I don’t think so. And they probably don’t know that JC did not write one word found in the “New Testament”.

How Came The Bible does not go into detail about the “Virgin Birth”, nevertheless, there is one book that provides even greater astounding evidence on the fraudulent “New Testament” writings.

“Jesus Christ wrote no account of himself, of his birth, parentage, or anything else. Not a line of what is called the New Testament is of his writing. The history of him is altogether the work of other people; and as to the account given of his resurrection and ascension, it was the necessary counterpart to the story of his birth. His historians, having brought him into the world in a supernatural manner, were obliged to take him out again in the same manner or the first part of the story must have fallen to the ground.” The Book Your Church Doesn’t Want You to Read, Tim C. Leedom, Editor, pp. 84.

Another interesting fact that Messianics and Christians must research is “The notion of the Trinity developed around the second century in response to apparent heresies.” Who Tampered With the Bible by Pat Eddy, pp. 241. Do you fully comprehend what’s written here? Let me explain. If the idea of belief in a Trinity is supposed to be so Divine, how is it that it came about AFTER JC left the scene – in the second century? If there were any truth to this, wouldn’t it have been more feasible and credible for him to spread this information himself and better for the CREATOR GOD to make mention of it? But GOD has said nothing about sharing HIS Supremacy with mere man. Thus, we should understand just how much of the “New Testament” is really based on the inspirations and imaginations of mere men who fervently rejected what THUS SAITH THE LORD and who were hell bent on having a “New Testament” that reflected a man-god of love and not of Judgment. After reading Who Tampered With the Bible, one will well understand why the writings in the “New Testament” are comparable to fairy tales, of which in most cases are better articulated.

And just for the record, all you Book of Daniel lovers out there should come to realize the controversy surrounding the dating of this book. Regarding the Old Testament book of Daniel: “The sections of the book purported to be prophecy were actually written many years after most of the events took place. Not only that but they were written cryptically in the manner of contemporary astrological forecasts to lend credence to the illusion that they were oracles or prophecies.” Who Tampered With the Bible, pp. 20

In no way do I profess to be a scholar on anything, but after reading the Book of Daniel, I could see that situations written therein did not ring true and do not jibe with the other books of the “Old Testament” that expound on the WORD OF GOD. For example: In the “Old Testament” GOD’s Angels deemed their names secret and would not reveal them. But this is not so with the Book of Daniel and with the “New Testament”. Both the Book of Daniel and the “New Testament” have angels whose names are revealed, and thus this makes these angels and the books suspect. Also, Daniel’s prayer in Chapter 9 consists of verses out of the prayers of others and the Psalms in the “Old Testament”.

But here of late, there are other more pressing issues that raise red flags about the Book of Daniel. Why didn’t Daniel not return to the Land of Israel to aid in the building of GOD’s Temple as was GOD’s desire, according to HIS Prophet Haggai? Why was Daniel under scrutiny when there was a decree (See Ezra 5:13,17;6:1,3) that enabled the Israelites to return to build the temple, and that people who hindered the Judahites would be hanged (Ezra 6:11)? If as the Book of Daniel indicates, that he was around during the days of both Cyrus and Darius (Daniel 5:31;6:1;6:28;11:1), why then wasn’t he in correspondence with Ezra and Nehemiah? And given Cyrus’ and Darius’ decrees (Ezra 5^th and 6^th Chapters), throwing Daniel into the “lion’s den” was strictly out of the question.

Getting back to Marcion, what exactly was it that he found “repugnant” about the “Old Testament” wherein is the only place to read the WORD of GOD at the mouth of HIS Prophets?

Was Marcion turned off by the Book of the Psalms wherein are written thousands of verses giving PRAISE and GLORY to the GOD of Israel and where GOD said every knee would bow to HIM (Isaiah 43:25)?

Maybe Marcion hated the fact that the CREATOR GOD chose for HIMSELF a Covenant People? “Israel is my son even my firstborn.”

Could it have been that the GOD of Israel Commanded that people cannot worship any other god but HIM and must only CALL UPON and WAIT FOR HIM?

Surely Marcion rejected the Righteous and “Perfect LAW” that Israelites and Gentiles were Commanded to accept and live to a “thousand generations”.

Perhaps Marcion detested the CREATOR GOD’s hatred of the evil and the wicked and HIS WORD to JUDGE sinners and transgressors. “I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.”

Well, surely all of the above is what Marcion found so repugnant but most of all, without a doubt he took offense to being JUDGED, as do all Christians (Matt. 7:1). After all, the CREATOR did kill all but Noah and his family with a FLOOD because of their wickedness, HE did sink Sodom and Gomorrah, and HE most certainly did scatter HIS Chosen People for their disobedience and for worshipping other gods, which is exactly what Marcion rallied around and helped to perpetuate against the WILL of the Most High GOD of Israel.

Is that a revelation or what? And from what’s written in Isaiah 13:11 and in 11:4, we can see why the CREATOR once again plans to JUDGE the wicked.

“…with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.” Isaiah 11:4

Is it any wonder why the “New Testament” writers, and only GOD knows who else, were so adamant about inventing a “New Religion”?

“Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the LORD of hosts. But ye said, Wherein shall we return?” Malachi 3:7

Isn’t this enough evidence to reason that the “New Testament” has no credibility?! If not, then people should consider that there are sixteen (16) other men born of a virgin who were also considered so-called “Saviours” The World’s Sixteen Crucified Saviors – “or Christianity before Christ” by Kersey Graves. They never saved anyone either or brought “Peace on Earth”. For some reason, people of old thought this was a really catchy idea to rake in the naive to believe the best lie ever told. It kindda worked, too. Two billion people the world over still believe in this stuff.

That’s the “New Testament” story in a nutshell Christians should research to learn how their religion came about. They should also know the real facts:

FACT: Prophets did not exist during the days of JC or during the days of the compilation of the “New Testament”.

“Her gates are sunk into the ground; he hath destroyed and broken her bars: her king and her princes are among the Gentiles: the law is no more; her prophets also find no vision from the LORD.” Lamentation 2:9

That was about 400 B.C.E. – approximately 400 years BEFORE the JC “saviour” was supposedly born of a “virgin”. Thus, these visions that the “New Testament” and all these preachers tout cannot be from the CREATOR GOD.

FACT: The Children of Israel were not in the Land of Israel at the time of JC’s supposed “Coming”, therefore, GOD did not send him to them.

“James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.” James 1:1

FACT: Read and see how Christianity has changed GOD’s Ordinances for the likes of a “New Testament” book invented by man to promote belief in a man. And according to the WORD of GOD, nothing could be further from HIS TRUTH:

“For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.” Romans 10:4

“But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not inthe oldness of the letter.” Romans 7:6

“But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;” Ephesians 2:13 – 15

“And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;

“Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:” Colossians 2:13,14,16

“For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.” John 1:17

“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” John 14:6

THINK!!!

Where is the wisdom in the CREATOR waiting thousands of years until the Roman Era to provide the world with a so-called “Gospel”? The CREATOR GOD presented HIS Righteous Way of Life in the very BEGINNNG for mankind to follow. If HE hadn’t, Noah would not have been called a “Righteous” man:

“And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.” Genesis 7:1

Even unto this day, the CREATOR GOD’s RIGHTEOUSNESS still stands in order that people will know HIM and learn HIS Righteous Paths to walk, live, and do. For this reason, I cannot stress GOD’s Book of the Law enough:

“Now therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes and unto the judgments, which I teach you, for to do them, that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which the LORD God of your fathers giveth you. Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.” Deuteronomy 4:1,2

“Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest. This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.” Joshua 1:7 - 9

“That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.” Deuteronomy 30:20

“And he said unto them, Set your hearts unto all the words which I testify among you this day, which ye shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of this law. For it is not a vain thing for you; because it is your life: and through this thing ye shall prolong your days in the land, whither ye go over Jordan to possess it.” Deuteronomy 32:46,47

“Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations; And repayeth them that hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him that hateth him, he will repay him to his face. Thou shalt therefore keep the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which I command thee this day, to do them. Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these judgments, and keep, and do them, that the LORD thy God shall keep unto thee the covenant and the mercy which he sware unto thy fathers: And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: he will also bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep, in the land which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee. Thou shalt be blessed above all people: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your cattle. And the LORD will take away from thee all sickness, and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, upon thee; but will lay them upon all them that hate thee.” Deuteronomy 7:9 – 15

“Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel? Therefore, thou son of man, say unto the children of thy people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression: as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall thereby in the day that he turneth from his wickedness; neither shall the righteous be able to live for his righteousness in the day that he sinneth.

When I shall say to the righteous, that he shall surely live; if he trust to his own righteousness, and commit iniquity, all his righteousnesses shall not be remembered; but for his iniquity that he hath committed, he shall die for it. Again, when I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; if he turn from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right; If the wicked restore the pledge, give again that he had robbed, walk in the statutes of life, without committing iniquity; he shall surely live, he shall not die. None of his sins that he hath committed shall be mentioned unto him: he hath done that which is lawful and right; he shall surely live.” Ezekiel 33:11 -16

“Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday. Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.” Psalm 37:1 - 7

CLEARLY THE HEBREW SCRIPTURES KNEW NOTHING ABOUT JC!

FACT: All the above “New Testament” writings contradict everything the CREATOR GOD exemplifies and demonstrates and all that HE perpetuated in the ears of HIS Prophets and HIS People.

“If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our hands to a strange god; Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart.” Psalm 44:20,21

“Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me; There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any strange god. I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.” Psalm 81:8 - 10

“Yet I am the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt know no god but me: for there is no saviour beside me. I did know thee in the wilderness, in the land of great drought.” Hosea 13:4,5

Clearly, the teachings of the “New Testament” are no more a path for people to take to so-called “enter heaven” than salvation is through belief in JC. Just as JC is an invention of man, so also is the unfounded idea of Christians or anyone going to Heaven, a concept alien and unfounded in the WORD of GOD and all the Scripture in the “Old Testament”. It wasn’t a good decision for Christianity to promote going to Heaven, as there is nothing in GOD’s WORD to indicate that man will die and go to Heaven, albeit, the very opposite. “Death” is a curse, that resulted from the sins in Garden of Eden.

“In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.” Genesis 3:19

“For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?” Psalm 6:5

As righteous as was Samuel in that GOD was with him and did not let his words fall to the ground (I Sam. 3:19), not even he died and went to Heaven.

“And Samuel said to Saul, Why hast thou disquieted me, to bring me up? And Saul answered, I am sore distressed; for the Philistines make war against me, and God is departed from me, and answereth me no more, neither by prophets, nor by dreams: therefore I have called thee, that thou mayest make known unto me what I shall do. Then said Samuel, Wherefore then dost thou ask of me, seeing the LORD is departed from thee, and is become thine enemy? And the LORD hath done to him, as he spake by me: for the LORD hath rent the kingdom out of thine hand, and given it to thy neighbour, even to David: Because thou obeyedst not the voice of the LORD, nor executedst his fierce wrath upon Amalek, therefore hath the LORD done this thing unto thee this day. Moreover the LORD will also deliver Israel with thee into the hand of the Philistines: and to morrow shalt thou and thy sons be with me: the LORD also shall deliver the host of Israel into the hand of the Philistines.” I Samuel 28:15 -19

“For the grave cannot praise thee, death cannot celebrate thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth.” Isaiah 38:18

Because of diverse religions, the world has forgotten the CREATOR GOD and HIS Paths of Righteousness that HE set forth when HE Created the Heavens and the Earth. And at the end of the day, the CREATOR will make HIS Righteous LAW HONORABLE!

“The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness' sake; he will magnify the law, and make it honourable.” Isaiah 42:21

More importantly, this CREATOR GOD never needed a go between for receiving prayers from people who chose to seek HIM to make HIM their GOD. The “New Testament” made all this up.

“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” John 14:6

You see, the CREATOR GOD thrives on delight in HIM. HE is a JEALOUS GOD whose Holy Name is JEALOUS, and the last thing this JEALOUS GOD wants is for people to turn to anyone or anything BUT HIM! The Children of Israel, HIS Covenant People, were scattered into the world for calling on other gods. So, why would the CREATOR GOD tell people to turn to JC, pray to him and to worship him? Given what’s written in GOD’s LAW, at HIS WORD, and at the WORD of HIS Prophets, this makes no sense at all. THINK!!!

“And Hannah answered and said, No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit: I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but have poured out my soul before the LORD.” I Samuel 1:15

“In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God. Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.” Psalm 62:7,8

“And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.” Psalm 50:15

“When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and inquired early after God. And they remembered that God was their rock, and the high God their redeemer.” Psalm 78:34,35

“O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people. Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous works. Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.” Psalm 105:1 - 3

“Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.” Isaiah 45:22

“Then shalt thou call, and the LORD shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity;” Isaiah 58:9

“The spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.” Isaiah 61:3 - 3

“…Thou shalt call me, My father; and shalt not turn away from me.” Jeremiah 3:19

“Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.” Jeremiah 29:12

“Arise, cry out in the night: in the beginning of the watches pour out thine heart like water before the face of the Lord: lift up thy hands toward him for the life of thy young children, that faint for hunger in the top of every street.” Lamentations 2:19

“For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the LORD of hosts. But ye said, Wherein shall we return?” Malachi 3:6,7

“Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name. And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.” Malachi 3:16,17

The “New Testament” writers disregarded the fact that GOD’s Righteous LAW is FOREVER, and foremost it is about worshipping HIM and living according to HIS Divine LAW!

“And the statutes, and the ordinances, and the law, and the commandment, which he wrote for you, ye shall observe to do for evermore; and ye shall not fear other gods. And the covenant that I have made with you ye shall not forget; neither shall ye fear other gods. But the LORD your God ye shall fear; and he shall deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies.” II Kings 17:37 - 39

“Therefore thou shalt love the LORD thy God, and keep his charge, and his statutes, and his judgments, and his commandments, alway.” Deuteronomy 11:1

Thus, we should all know that the CREATOR GOD will put HIS LAW in the hearts of HIS People. AND IT SHOULD BE PERFECTLY UNDERSTOOD THAT HIS LAW IS ALL ABOUT THE WORSHIP OF HIM, THE CREATOR GOD OF ISRAEL!

“Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD: But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.” Jeremiah 31:31 – 34

“Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning: And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.” Joel 2:12,13

“I smote you with blasting and with mildew and with hail in all the labours of your hands; yet ye turned not to me, saith the LORD. Consider now from this day and upward, from the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, even from the day that the foundation of the LORD'S temple was laid, consider it.” Haggai 2:17,18

“For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the LORD of hosts. But ye said, Wherein shall we return?” Malachi 3:6,7

Hence, the “New Testament” writers and their theology are proved a fraud and are exposed and will not continue, as this pagan book is not in agreement with GOD’s WORD or the PROPHECY HE has planned for these latter days. GOD’s Righteousness is FOREVER, HIS Temple will be rebuilt, and every knee will bow to HIM. And HIS Covenant People will be re-established before HIM. And to HIM every knee of Hebrew Israelites and Gentiles will bow.

“I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.” Isaiah 45:23

“For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.” Isaiah 61:11

“And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD.” Isaiah 66:23

“Thus saith the LORD of hosts; It shall yet come to pass, that there shall come people, and the inhabitants of many cities: And the inhabitants of one city shall go to another, saying, Let us go speedily to pray before the LORD, and to seek the LORD of hosts: I will go also. Yea, many people and strong nations shall come to seek the LORD of hosts in Jerusalem, and to pray before the LORD. Thus saith the LORD of hosts; In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you: for we have heard that God is with you.” Zechariah 8:22

Nowhere is there any hint of the likes of JC in this mix - NOWHERE!

The extraordinary TRUTH about GOD’s WORD is that it all jibes: GOD’s LAW, HIS WORD, and the WORDS of HIS Prophets!

“Behold, I have taught you statutes and judgments, even as the LORD my God commanded me, that ye should do so in the land whither ye go to possess it. Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.” Deuteronomy 4:5,6

“Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.” Deuteronomy 6:4,5

“Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us? why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, by profaning the covenant of our fathers?” Malachi 2:10

“For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.” Malachi 3:6

And the Land of Israel stands WITNESS to the fact that the CREATOR GOD of Israel will return to live in the midst of HIS People, the Children of Israel and establish HIS Ways of Righteousness, Peace, and Happiness upon HIS Earth!

“Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land:

when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.

I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree.

Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.”

Psalm 37:34 – 36

“For I the LORD love judgment, I hate robbery for burnt offering;

and I will direct their work in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.

And their seed shall be known among the Gentiles, and their offspring among the people: all that see them shall acknowledge them,

that they are the seed which the LORD hath blessed.

I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God;

for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me

with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments,

and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.

For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise

to spring forth before all the nations.”

Isaiah 61:11

BLESSED BE THE NAME OF THE GOD OF ISRAEL! IT WILL HAPPEN!!!

*****

“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.

“Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Let your hands be strong, ye that hear in these days these words by the mouth of the prophets, which were in the day that the foundation of the house of the LORD of hosts was laid, that the temple might be built.” Zechariah 8:9

“Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him

while he is near:”

Isaiah 55:6

*****

“I will declare thy name unto my brethren:

in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee.”

Psalm 22:22

LET US EXALT, PRAISE, AND SANCTIFY THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL IN TRUTH AND IN RIGHTEOUSNESS BEFORE THE WORLD FOREVERMORE! AND LET US MAGNIFY HIS LAW, WHICH IS OUR ONLY TICKET INTO HIS KINGDOM, SO THAT ALL PEOPLES WILL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE AND WORSHIP KNOW THE MOST HIGH GOD OF ABRAHAM AND MOSES AND TO SERVE AND WORSHIP HIM ACCORDING TO HIS LAW, HIS WORD AND HIS WILL!

EXPOUNDING ON WHEN THE CREATOR’s 24-HOUR DAY BEGINS:

I happen to be talking with my husband regarding when each new day begins. And his input was much like that of Brother Kweli’s. In essence, he said:

In The BEGINNING there was only “Darkness.” Therefore, because “Darkness” preceded “Light,” it stands to reason why the “darkness,” which was initially first, begins the new day and not the “morning.”

“In the beginning…darkness was upon the face of the deep… And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.” Genesis 1:1 - 3

In my opinion, adding to this belief is the CREATOR’s pronouncement of the use of “Darkness,” or rather evening, when ending and beginning each new day:

“…And the evening and the morning were the second day.

“…And the evening and the morning were the third day.

“…And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

“…And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

“…And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.” Genesis1:8 - 31

If we cannot recognize when to begin our 24-hour days, how then can we observe GOD’s Holy Seventh Day Sabbaths to rest and be refreshed, and how then are we to observe HIS Holy Feast Days, as we are Commanded? Hence, it behooves us to read GOD’s WORD and take note of all the Scriptures as to when our forefathers observed each new day. The information is there, if we will only accept it. There are several specific passages that cannot be ignored.

Genesis First Chapter is already suggested. Another passage is in Judges where Samson tells the Philistines to solve his riddle “within seven days.” And “on the Seventh Day before the sun went down,” the Philistines told him the meaning of his riddle. Point being that the Philistines knew that had they waited until AFTER sundown, then they would have been in the Eighth Day and too late to receive the reward Samson had promised them (Judges 14^th Chapter).

More evidence is in Nehemiah 13^th Chapter. Nehemiah is angered by people profaning the Holy Seventh Day by selling their wares to the stiffnecked Israelites who did not hesitate to buy them. So, “…when the gates of Jerusalem began to be dark BEFORE THE SABBATH,” Nehemiah “commanded that the gates should be shut…” Hence, Nehemiah wanted to prepare for the impending Holy Seventh Day to be sure that no sins would be committed after sundown, which is when the Sabbath or Seventh Day would obviously begin. Again, this is more evidence that the new day begins at sundown/evening/darkness.

I would be remiss if I did not also include the fact that Scripture is clear on Passover and the Day of Atonement beginning in the evening at sundown.

PASSOVER: “In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at even, ye shall eat unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth day of the month at even.” Exodus 12:18

THE DAY OF ATONEMENT: “It shall be unto you a sabbath of rest, and ye shall afflict your souls: in the ninth day of the month at even, from even unto even, shall ye celebrate your sabbath.” Leviticus23:32

The GOD of Israel is and always has been consistent in teaching us HIS Commandments. HE would not tell us to begin some Holy Days at sundown and to begin other days in the morning. There is nothing intelligent about such a directive – only confusion. T.Y., Editor

“And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him:

but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word.”

I Kings 18:21

“Hear me, O LORD, hear me, that this people may know that thou art the LORD God, and that thou hast turned their heart back again. Then the fire of the LORD fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench. And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces: and they said, The LORD, he is the God; the LORD, he is the God.”

I Kings 18:37 - 39

“And it shall be at that day, saith the LORD, that thou shalt call me Ishi;

and shalt call me no more Baali. For I will take away the names of Baalim

out of her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their name.

And in that day will I make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field,

and with the fowls of heaven, and with the creeping things of the ground:

and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the earth,

and will make them to lie down safely. And I will betroth thee unto me for ever;

yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment,

and in loving kindness, and in mercies. I will even betroth thee unto me in faithfulness: and thou shalt know the LORD.”

Hosea 2:16 - 20

“According to the word that I covenanted with you when ye came out of Egypt,

so my spirit remaineth among you: fear ye not.”

“The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.”

Zephaniah 3:14,17

Let us mold our hearts and future NOW and succeed where our forefathers failed. Let us be obedient to Our Holy ONE of Israel and live and do HIS Book of the Law AS IT IS WRITTEN IN RIGHTEOUSNESS. Let us turn to Our GOD of Israel with our whole heart and soul and cause HIM to see that this time, we will keep our promise to make HIM Our ONE and ONLY GOD in Truth and serve HIM according to HIS Ways and Paths of Righteousness that HE decreed to HIS Prophet Moses!

“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.

Chronology on the History of Slavery 1619 to 1789

1776
Washington DC records east of Rock Creek changed from the jurisdiction of Frederick to Montgomery Country Maryland. (Montgomery County Historical society)

1776
American Revolution. Along "Tobacco Coast" (the Chesapeake), the Revolutionary War was variously known as "The Tobacco War." Growers had found themselves perpetually in debt to British merchants; by 1776, growers owed the mercantile houses millions of pounds. British tobacco taxes are a further grievance. Tobacco helps finance the Revolution by serving as collateral for loans from France. (Tobacco Timeline by Gene Borio )

1776
Britain’s House of Commons hears the first motion to outlaw slavery in Britain and her colonies. David Hartley, 44, calls slavery "contrary to the laws of God and the rights of man," but his motion fails (see 1772; Wilberforce, 1787; 1789). (The People's Chronology 1995, 1996 by James Trager from MS Bookshelf)

1776 Declaration of Independence from Britain. Fifty five signers, Fifty two of whom were known to be Master Masons. (Kenton N Harper, History of the Grand Lodge and of Freemasonry in the District of Columbia. Washington, DC 1911)

"How is it," asked Samuel Johnson, "that we hear the loudest yelps for liberty among the drivers of Negroes?" The British author was only one of many Europeans who thought it strange that a nation run by slave owners should be so noisily demanding its own freedom. (Norman Coombs, The Immigrant Heritage of America, Twayne Press, 1972. , Chapter 4, All Men Are Created Equal, Slavery and the American Revolution)

1776
Washington's writings display no need to denigrate black ability. On the contrary, compared to most of his contemporaries, Washington readily recognized and applauded the talents among the enslaved. In early 1776, he received a poem from a young woman and, "with a view of doing justice to her great poetical Genius, I had a great Mind to publish the Poem." In gratitude for her gift, he invited her to visit his headquarters in Cambridge. The poet was the now famous Phillis Wheatley, who was then an enslaved Bostonian. In writing of and to her, Washington made no reference to her race: a remarkable omission by the standards of his day (and of our own). In private correspondence during the 1780s and 1790s, Washington repeatedly expressed a devout hope that the state governments would legislate "a gradual Abolition of Slavery; It would prevent much future Mischief." (Alan Taylor, Review of "The Good Father, George Washington:" The New Republic 01-19-1998)

1776
Establishment of an independent United States is a set-back for women. Married women are not granted legal status apart from their husbands; women are forbidden from obtaining education beyond elementary school (except for the wealthy) learning anything except domestic tasks owning property keeping earnings from any employment they might have inheriting money or property in their own right obtaining a divorce except in dire circumstances (adultery, desertion, non-support, extreme cruelty) enjoying custody of their children voting, serving on a jury, testifying in a trial being tried by a jury of peers signing legal contract; suing or being sued engaging in public speaking having a voice in the laws that might convict them handling money (in certain states) - in Massachusetts women cannot even serve as treasurers of their sewing societies As states adopt their new constitutions, they more clearly define qualifications for voting (i.e., free, white, male citizen) and exclude women from participating in the democratic experiment; women property owners are even taxed without representation. In 1777 New York, takes away women's right to vote. In 1780, Massachusetts takes away women's right to vote. In 1784 New Hampshire takes away women's right to vote. In 1791, The Constitution is finally ratified without granting women right to vote. The Constitution also sanctions slavery (Article IV, Section 3).

A law was passed in Virginia, that thereafter no slave should be imported into that Commonwealth by sea or by land, and that every slave who should be imported should become free. A citizen of Virginia purchased in Maryland a slave who belonged to another citizen of Virginia, and removed with the slave to Virginia. The slave sued for her freedom, and recovered it; as may be seen in Wilson v. Isabel, (5 Call's R., 425.) See also Hunter v. Hulsher, (1 Leigh, 172;) and a similar law has been recognized as valid in Maryland, in Stewart v. Oaks, (5 Har. and John., 107.) (Dred Scott, Plaintiff In Error, v. John F. A. Sandford. Supreme Court Of The United States, 60 U.S. 393; 1856 U.S. LEXIS 472; 15 L. Ed. 691; 19 HOW 393, December, 1856)

New York- Alexander Hamilton endorses the plan of South Carolina's Henry Laurens to use slaves as soldiers in the south. "I have not the least doubt that the Negroes will make very excellent soldiers," says Hamilton , ". . . for their natural faculties are as good as ours." Hamilton reminds the Continental Congress that the British will make use of Negroes if the Americans do not. In Hamilton's words: "The best way to counteract the temptations they will hold out, will be to offer them ourselves."(Chronology: A Historical Review, Major Events in Black History 1492 thru 1953 by Roger Davis and Wanda Neal-Davis)

1779
Thomas Jefferson, A Bill Concerning Slaves enacted by the Virginia General Assembly by Thomas Jefferson, " If any white woman shall have a child by a Negro or mulatto, she and her child shall depart the commonwealth within one year thereafter. If they fail so to do, the woman shall be out of the protection of the laws, and the child shall be bound out by the Aldermen of the county, in like manner as poor orphans are by law directed to be, and within one year after its term of service expired shall depart the commonwealth, or on failure so to do, shall be out of the protection of the laws. No slave shall go from the tenements of his master, or other person with whom he lives, without a pass, or some letter or token whereby it may appear that he is proceeding by authority from his master, employer, or overseer: If he does, it shall be lawful for any person to apprehend and carry him before a Justice of the Peace, to be by his order punished with stripes, or not, in his discretion.

1780
Federal Style, in architecture, the dominant phase of neoclassicism in the United States, reaching its peak between 1780 and 1820. Characteristic features include elliptical fanlights; oval interiors; circular, freestanding stairs; freestanding porticoes framed by columns; and slender proportions. Contemporaneous Federal style furniture designs were classically inspired and featured marquetry, veneering, and inlay. (Georgian Style," Microsoft Encarta 98 Encyclopedia. Microsoft Corporation)

In colonial North America, the influence of the Georgian style is evident in very few buildings before the American Revolution. By 1785, however, in the newly formed United States, the Georgian style had become extremely popular in a native version called the Federal style. This evolved into a monumental neoclassical style exemplified by Thomas Jefferson's elegant designs (1817-26) for the University of Virginia at Charlottesville. This version of the Georgian style remained popular for public buildings in the U.S. well into the 20th century. (Georgian Style, Microsoft Encarta 98 Encyclopedia)

The Federal Style The federal style is more delicate than the colonial style which was so popular during the 1700s. Colonial style buildings were rigidly symmetrical, with the central hall balanced by two rectangular rooms on each side. Although federal style buildings have symmetrical facades, their interiors are far more varied. A main hall may be surrounded by oval, rectangular and circular rooms and may feature a grand spiral staircase. The exteriors of these three-story square structures are characterized by low-pitched, balustraded roofs, and are often surrounded by ornate fences. The massive size of a federal style building, combined with its simplicity, creates a feeling of restrained elegance which was very attractive to the Quakers of New Bedford.

1780
By the Constitution of 1780 the Commonwealth of Massachusetts declared that persons of color, [**413] descended from African slaves, were by that Constitution made citizens of the State; and such of them as have had the necessary qualifications, have held and exercised the elective franchise, as citizens, from that time to the present. (See Com. v. Aves, 18 Pick. R., 210.) (Dred Scott, Plaintiff In Error, v. John A. Sandford. Supreme Court Of The United States, 60 U.S. 393; 1856 U.S. LEXIS 472; 15 L. Ed. 691; 19 HOW 393, December, 1856)

1780
The first coal mine in America was opened in Virginia, in the Appalachian bituminous field, during the 1750s; the mining of anthracite began in the late 1700s. Extensive mining in the United States commenced about 1820; until 1854 more than half of all the coal that was produced in the U.S. was Pennsylvania anthracite. ("Mining," Microsoft Encarta 98 Encyclopedia Microsoft Corporation)

Journal article discusses eastern Virginia coal field development. Although free workers were employed in the mines, slave labor was essential to these enterprises, in high- and low-skill jobs. Relates the nature of and the response to mine safety problems, including insurance on the miners. The mines declined when capital investments shifted to the Appalachian area. 2 tables, 60 notes.

1780/03/01
Pennsylvania became the first state to abolish slavery. (Underground Railroad Chronology, National Park Service)

The Pennsylvania Gradual Abolition Act of 1780 was the first emancipation statute in the United States. (Pennsylvania State History, " The Quaker Province: 1681-1776" Pennsylvania state Web page, July 22, 1996 for the text of the Act, see The Avalon Project)

In 1780, "the State of Pennsylvania passed a Law for the gradual abolition of slavery, which they set out at length. The third section enacts, that all persons, as well Negroes and mulattos as others, who shall be born within this State, from and after the passing of this Act, shall not be deemed, and considered as servants for life, or slaves, and that all servitude for life, or slavery of children, in consequence of the slavery of their mothers, in the case of all children born within the State from and after the passing of the Act shall be, and is hereby utterly taken away, extinguished and abolished. By the fourth section, the children of slaves born within the State after the passing of the Act, are to be held by the owners of their mothers, until they shall arrive at the age of twenty-eight years, upon the same terms and conditions, that servants bound by indenture for four years are subject to, unless the person entitled to the service of such child, shall abandon his claim, in which case, the Overseers of the Poor shall be indenture, bind out every such child as an apprentice, for a time not exceeding the age before limited. The fifth section directs, that all slaves, or servants for life, or thirty-one years, shall be registered by their owners, with the Clerk of the County, &c., in which he resides, before the 1st November following, and that no Negro or mulatto now within the State shall be deemed a slave unless his, or her name shall be entered as aforesaid on such Record, expect as after excepted. The tenth section contains the exception, which extends to domestic slaves attending upon Delegates in Congress, Foreign Ministers and Consuls, and persons passing through, or sojourning in the State, and not becoming residents therein, and seamen, &c. employed in ships not belonging to inhabitants of the State." (Spotts v. Gillaspie., Supreme Court Of Virginia, 27 Va. 566; 1828 Va. LEXIS 38; 6 Rand. 566, November 17, 1828)

THE 13 STARS AND STRIPES:
A SURVEY OF 18TH CENTURY IMAGES

by David Martucci

The following was originally published in NAVA NEWS Number 167 (April-June 2000) with an addenda in NAVA NEWS Numbers 168 (July-September 2000), 178 (April-June 2003) and 188 (October-December 2005).

The 13 Stars and Stripes was born on June 14, 1777 by resolution of the Continental Congress. Unlike subsequent variations, the first US Flag has been made and used almost continuously ever since. Even today, you can purchase a brand new copy and, keeping with the tradition of the original flag, it is available in several different specifications. This fact, however, also raises issues when someone comes upon an old 13 star flag. Often inquiries to NAVA are made regarding the value or care of an "authentic" relic from the Revolutionary War. I have related the story of the US Navy's "Boat" Flag countless times and often have to remind people that crafters still hand sew even today and that the sewing machine was not invented until 1841. This spawned the idea to collect as many images as possible from the period when this flag was official for comparative analysis.

The criteria followed in this presentation is basically any image of a 13 stars and stripes flag dating from the 18th century. Although the 15 star, 15 stripe flag became official in 1795, the period for this analysis is 1777 through 1800. Several artists were working on historical paintings by 1800 who presented specific views of the first flag, particularly depicting use during the Revolutionary War (however improbable). Excluded are any flag images that only included one of the two elements, the 13 stars or the stripes and images known to have been produced after 1800.

In addition, I have tried not to include any image of questionable date. Specifically excluded were flags traditionally thought to date from this period that have been conclusively dated by the Smithsonian (and others) as being later. Specifically the following flags: Bennington, Curtis-Clinton (2 flags), Easton, Hulbert, Porter, Schuyler, Schuyler-Hamilton (these last two should not be confused with the General Schuyler Flag), Third Maryland (Cowpens), and Robinson (or Posey).

It should also be noted that this exercise uncovered an overlooked feature on one flag that casts doubt on it being an 18th century piece, numbered 21 below, General Schuyler's Flag. The shield on the US Arms bears 17 pales, the correct number for the period 1803-1812. It is this author's opinion that this flag may date from this later period. For comparison, the shield on the arms of the Waldoboro Light Infantry Color signed and dated 1809 shows 17 stripes and the shield on the Thomaston Cavalry Color believed to have been made in 1799 shows 16 stripes. Both of these are the correct number for the dates given.

Also excluded are eight flags from Boleslaw Mastai's book claimed to be of this period without any discussion of their dating technique, specifically "Hancock and English" (pg. 38), "3rd MD Pattern" (pg. 44), "L'Enfant Type" (pg. 46), "Prisoner's Flag" (pg. 62), "Sea Captain's Flag" (pg. 63), "Minerva Flag" (pg. 66), "Another Revolutionary Flag" (pg. 66), and the "13 Star Great Star Flag" (pg. 101). If Mastai is to be believed, he holds the world's greatest collection of Revolutionary War flags. I was only able to uncover four Stars and Stripes flags dating with any certainty from the 18th Century, and only two of them can be dated to the Revolutionary War period.

It should be noted that this presentation is not exhaustive. The images presented are those that have been published in several major books; there are references to others that were not illustrated. The author would appreciate copies or references of any further illustrations for this series. It should also be noted that these existing sources represent perhaps only a fraction of the total documentation that may have once existed. Any conclusions drawn should be considered very preliminary and subject to further findings and analysis.

The data collected represents mainly American sources, 64%, while the balance are strictly European. The latter breaks down to 13% French, 8% British, 8% German, 5% Dutch and 3% Italian sources.

So, what did the 13 stars and stripes look like in the 18th century? A technical analysis of the data given below reveals some interesting facts. Considering only the American sources, no source shows the stars arranged in 3-2-3-2-3 until 1782 (after the Revolutionary War). Of all other known extant American flags from the Revolutionary period, just three have stars in rows of 3-2-3-2-3, the two Rhode Island Regimental colors and the so-called Valley Forge Flag of Washington's Headquarters. The former two cannot be dated with certainty any earlier than 1784 and the latter is suspected by some experts to be the canton from a possibly later Stars and Stripes. Primarily the stars in Revolutionary War America were arranged in three rows, usually 4-5-4. After the War, this arrangement still predominated but the circle or oval of stars was nearly as popular. Only two show 3-2-3-2-3. Stripe colors in the American sources are exclusively red and white during the War (almost all beginning and ending with red) and nearly so afterwards although there are more beginning and ending with white. Only one American source shows a tricolor stripe arrangement, dating from 1787. It should be noted that the two Dutch paintings of the flags of the "Alliance" and the "Serapis" were believed to have been painted from life with some measure of accuracy and would both be the exceptions to this sense, although it is suspected one or both flags were not made in America.

Considering the number of points on the stars, it is a mixed bag and would appear that any number was used, even different numbers of points on the stars of a single flag (see 4 and 28, below, for example). The size of the cantons is also very variable, with no clear preference. It is interesting to note that there are three flags with red and blue stripes, all associated with southern states (numbers 7, 33 and 34, below). After the Revolutionary War, the star arrangements are very mixed. Indeed, even different illustrations by the same person vary greatly (see 26, 27, 32 and 42, below, for example).

Among the European sources, the flag designs are somewhat different, with stars in rows of 3-2-3-2-3 being exclusive in the British sources and nearly so in the German sources. The German sources mostly show tri-colored stripes as well. The so-called "French Alliance Flag" bearing a gold fleur-de-lys as well as the stars is shown only in two French and one German source in the period 1781-83. No American source shows it.

Addenda: Since the above was written in 2000, eleven additional illustrations have surfaced (included below) that have offered some further information that seems to basically confirm the conclusions above. Of these illustrations, seven are American (numbers 1.1, 4.1, 23.2, 24.1, 26.1, 29.1, and 32.1 below) and only one of them shows the stars in rows of 3-2-3-2-3 (dated 1785). The other four are all British (numbers 23.1, 35.1, 35.2, and 35.3) and they all show this arrangement! Again, the star points are a mixed bag, although the majority of them seem to be five-pointed.

Note: the following conventions are used in this presentation: "even" means the rows of stars begin and end vertically in line with other rows, even if there are different numbers of stars; "staggered" means the stars are set equidistant from each other in each row causing some rows to be shorter and some to be longer horizontally; "R" means red; "W" means white and "B" means blue. See the listing of image source codes.

READING FOR THE SOUL…

AWAKE, WHY SLEEPEST THOU, O LORD?

ARISE, CAST US NOT OFF FOR EVER

“We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what work thou didst in their days, in the times of old.

How thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand, and plantedst them; how thou didst afflict the people, and cast them out.

For they got not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour unto them.

Thou art my King, O God: command deliverances for Jacob.

Through thee will we push down our enemies: through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us.

For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me.

But thou hast saved us from our enemies, and hast put them to shame that hated us.

In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ever. Selah.

But thou hast cast off, and put us to shame; and goest not forth with our armies.

Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy: and they which hate us spoil for themselves.

Thou hast given us like sheep appointed for meat; and hast scattered us among the heathen.

Thou sellest thy people for nought, and dost not increase thy wealth by their price.

Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and a derision to them that are round about us.

Thou makest us a byword among the heathen, a shaking of the head among the people.

My confusion is continually before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me,

For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and avenger.

All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant.

Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from thy way;

Though thou hast sore broken us in the place of dragons, and covered us with the shadow of death.

If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our hands to a strange god;

Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart.

Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.

Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, cast us not off for ever.

Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and forgettest our affliction and our oppression?

For our soul is bowed down to the dust: our belly cleaveth unto the earth.

Arise for our help, and redeem us for thy mercies' sake.” Psalm Forty-fourth Chapter

WITH MY MOUTH WILL I MAKE KNOWN

THY FAITHFULNESS TO ALL GENERATIONS

“I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations.

For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens.

I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant,

Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations. Selah.

And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O LORD: thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints.

For who in the heaven can be compared unto the LORD? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the LORD?

God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him.

O LORD God of hosts, who is a strong LORD like unto thee? or to thy faithfulness round about thee?

Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them.

Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; thou hast scattered thine enemies with thy strong arm.

The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: as for the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them.

The north and the south thou hast created them: Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name.

Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand.

Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face.

Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O LORD, in the light of thy countenance.

In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted.

For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy favour our horn shall be exalted.

For the LORD is our defence; and the Holy One of Israel is our king.

Then thou spakest in vision to thy holy one, and saidst, I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people.

I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him:

With whom my hand shall be established: mine arm also shall strengthen him.

The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him.

And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him.

But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted.

I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers.

He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.

Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth.

My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him.

His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven.

If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments;

If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments;

Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.

Nevertheless my loving kindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.

My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.

Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David.

His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me.

It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah.

But thou hast cast off and abhorred, thou hast been wroth with thine anointed.

Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant: thou hast profaned his crown by casting it to the ground.

Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast brought his strong holds to ruin.

All that pass by the way spoil him: he is a reproach to his neighbours.

Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries; thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice.

Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword, and hast not made him to stand in the battle.

Thou hast made his glory to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground.

The days of his youth hast thou shortened: thou hast covered him with shame. Selah.

How long, LORD? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? shall thy wrath burn like fire?

Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou made all men in vain?

What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? Selah.

Lord, where are thy former loving kindnesses, which thou swarest unto David in thy truth?

Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants; how I do bear in my bosom the reproach of all the mighty people;

Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O LORD; wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed.

Blessed be the LORD for evermore. Amen, and Amen.” Psalm Eighty-ninth Chapter

FOR, LO, THINE ENEMIES, O LORD,

FOR LO, THINE ENEMIES

SHALL PERISH;

ALL THE WORKERS OF INIQUITY SHALL BE SCATTERED

“It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High:

To shew forth thy loving kindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night,

Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound.

For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands.

O LORD, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep.

A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this.

When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever:

But thou, LORD, art most high for evermore.

For, lo, thine enemies, O LORD, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.

But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.

Mine eye also shall see my desire on mine enemies, and mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me.

The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God.

They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing;

To shew that the LORD is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.” Psalm Ninety-second Chapter

HE SHALL GIVE THEE THE DESIRES OF THINE HEART.”

Psalm 37:3

“Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel;

I am the LORD thy God which teacheth thee to profit,

WHICH LEADETH THEE BY THE WAY THAT

THOU SHOULDEST GO.”

Isaiah 48:17

*****

The All-Mighty GOD of Abraham and Moses did not choose another people but fulfilled all that HE said HE would do for our forefathers. HE kept HIS promises to the Biblical Israelites and made a name for them and for HIMSELF in the process, AND HE WILL DO IT AGAIN for this Holy ONE of Israel does not lie!

“We are thine: thou never barest rule over them;

they were not called by thy name.”

Isaiah 63:19

“My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.”

Psalm 121:2

“Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.

“Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall

tread down our enemies.”

Psalm 108:12,13

“For thus saith the LORD; Like as I have brought all this great evil upon this people, so will I bring upon them all the good that I have promised them.”

Jeremiah 32:42

BLESSED BE THE MOST HIGH GOD OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC, AND JACOB FOREVER AND EVER!

PARENTS’ AND CHILDREN’S CORNER…

“Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old,

he will not depart from it.”

Proverbs 22:6

The works in this section of the JOURNAL are for our children. I am delighted to include them, as these activities will serve to enlighten our youth about the “Old Testament” GOD of Israel and HIS concern for HIS Ways of Righteousness and for HIS Love for HIS People. I encourage parents to read and interact with their children as they make efforts to answer the questions, complete the Word Search, and read the stories in this section. Now, monthly, we really do have appropriate literature and activities for our Hebrew Israelite children. In time, I shall add other things for them to do that will increase their knowledge and make learning fun.

Feel free to copy this section and staple it together in the form of a booklet. Take the time to design a cover page (even using Clip Art) and TYPE your child’s name at the bottom. Make the activities fun and challenging as you get involved with them.

“Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:

“And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart,

and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.

“And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:

“And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children,

and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house,

and when thou walkest by the way,

and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.”

Deuteronomy 6:4 – 7

“The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever,

that we may do all the words of this law.”

Deuteronomy 29:29

“Gather the people together, men, and women, and children, and thy stranger that is within thy gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear the LORD your God, and observe to do all the words of this law:

“And that their children, which have not known any thing,

may hear, and learn to fear the LORD your God, as long as ye live in the land

whither ye go over Jordan to possess it.”

Deuteronomy 31:12,13

“But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children;

To such as keep his covenant,

and to those that remember his commandments to do them.”

Psalm 103:17,18

***

Words are written vertically and horizontally and some are truly challenging to find – maybe because some are written backwards or might have two words that take on two directions.

Only a good “eye” will enable you to find all the words. For neatness and legibility, you might want to use a single line to cross out each word found rather than circling it, and consider giving each player a different colored pencil.

***

Parents, you might want to copy the “Word Search” and take turns with your children to complete this puzzle. And to make the fun even more exciting, play with a one-minute timer, as you search for each word. If players cannot find their words within the allotted time, then it’s the next player’s turn and the unfound words can be used by the next player(s).

Reward one point per word found. Let the youngest child start first. Each player selects his/her own word, or the words can be written on small pieces of paper and randomly pulled (with eyes closed) from a bag or hat. To encourage vocabulary development, for certain words give one extra point to the children who can define their words. Parents will determine which words are to be defined.

NOW, see who can rack up the most points!

ENJOY!

(By all means, do copy the puzzle and use the “Font Size” that suits your purpose.)

***

In the future, if Brothers and Sisters would like to create a “Word Search” of their own, I would be delighted to include it in the next JOURNAL. And even suggestions for a Word Search are always welcome.

HOW MUCH DO OUR CHILDREN KNOW

ABOUT THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL (THE CREATOR GOD OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC, AND JACOB),

THE HISTORY OF THE HEBREW ISRAELITES,

AND OUR RIGHTEOUS WAY OF LIFE?

“…God said moreover unto Moses,

Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The LORD God of your fathers,

the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob,

hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever,

and this is my memorial unto all generations.”

Exodus 3:15

"Gather the people together, men, and women, and children,

and thy stranger that is within thy gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn,

and fear the LORD your God, and observe to do all the words of this law:

And that their children, which have not known any thing,

may hear, and learn to fear the LORD your God,

as long as ye live in the land whither ye go over Jordan to possess it."

Deuteronomy 31:12,13

This added portion to The LawKeepers JOURNAL is to enlighten our children and provide parental/child interaction with regard to important events in the “Old Testament.” It is my hope that these questions will provide the means for parents and children to study Scripture and enjoy quality time together.

***

THE QUESTIONS ARENA IS FOR CHILDREN AND PARENTS TO RESEARCH, REFLECT, AND DISCUSS:

This month’s questions are intended for ages ten (10) and above.

742.

What was the Covenant that GOD made with Noah’s seed and every living creature that went out of the Ark?

743.

What are the Covenants the GOD of Israel made with Abram? (There are two.)

744.

What is the Covenant the GOD of Israel made with Abraham?

749.

What Covenant did the GOD of Israel say to observe throughout our generations for a perpetual Covenant?

750.

What was the Covenant that the GOD of Israel wrote upon two Tables?

***

By all means, Parents and Children should feel free to respond and send answers to me for posting in the next LawKeepers’ JOURNAL. And do include your name, city, and state. By the way, the answers must be in the form of complete sentences. Afraqueen@AOL.COM

SUGGESTION:

On one side of index cards, have children write individual questions, and on the other side write the answers to the questions. Just imagine how knowledgeable our children will be after researching for the answers to all these questions. CHILDREN SHOULD BE SURE TO TAKE THEIR ANSWERS FROM THE SCRIPTURES WITHOUT IMAGINING THEM and include the book, chapter, and verse where the answers were found. From time to time, they can shuffle the cards and go over the questions to see if they are able to recall the correct responses. This activity should not be a chore, but children should have fun with the questions and challenge their friends and siblings to see how much they know about the “Old Testament.” By the way, the numbers of the questions need not always be in order.

***

“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge:

because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee,

that thou shalt be no priest to me:

seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.”

Hosea 4:6

CHILDREN’S SHORT STORY…

The following children’s story is for young brothers and sisters, five (5) and older to read with their parents…

***

(ON VACATION FOR A WHILE)

Please see previous JOURNALS for Children’s Stories.

***

Since starting to write Children’s stories for The LawKeepers JOURNAL, I have grown to love this task for they also Exalt Our Holy ONE of Israel, and they tell rose-colored stories in the process because, with GOD’s Blessings, we will indeed lead better and happier lives upon our return to our heritage. I believe this with all my heart! Then, we will enjoy the Righteous lifestyles that you read about in these stories and live in a tranquility, Peace, and Happiness that only the Holy ONE of Israel can bring to fruition. And accordingly, we will one day guard this utopia that will thrive in the LIGHT of GOD’s LAW, and we will eliminate those who threaten its existence. This won’t just be about FEARING the Holy ONE to follow HIS Ways, it will be about tasting a divine lifestyle and having it no other way.

All the children’s stories are posted on The LawKeepers Website. Each JOURNAL contains one Children's Story. The JOURNALS are posted at the following WebSite:

CLOSING SCRIPTURE EXALTING THE CREATOR GOD OF ISRAEL:

“Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.

Bless ye the LORD, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure.

Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of his dominion:

bless the LORD, O my soul.”

Psalm 103:20 - 22

“Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great;

thou art clothed with honour and majesty.

Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment:

who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:

Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind:

Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:

Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever.

Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment:

the waters stood above the mountains.

At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away.

Psalm 104:1 - 7

“O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all:

the earth is full of thy riches.”

Psalm 104:24

“The glory of the LORD shall endure for ever: the LORD shall rejoice in his works.

“I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live:

I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.

My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the LORD.”

Psalm 104:31,33,34

MOTHERS WITH SONS IN PRISON

MWSIP (Mothers with sons in prison) is striving to embrace all mothers of different races, color, creed and nationalities worldwide to bridge the gap that separates them from their sons within the prison systems with unconditional love.

***

A Mother's Release Day

Freedom not only comes physically, but it originates from the heart. The anticipation of the release day for your son is also the release day for the mother. When your son goes into prison, you as his mother go in with him without even being aware of it until it's time for him to come out.

There's tons of unexpected emotions that happens when it gets near the release day for your son. You have occupied for the duration of his time that small little corner within the spiritual walls of that prison. A small voice from above speaks to you near that time and tells you "you can come out now".

Severe fear sets in and you find yourself glued to a placed that your hearts been in for the time he has been there. You fear you're leaving him! How can I come out and he's still there? The small voice speaks again..."you can come out now." the fear intensifys and you begin to cryin uncontrollably. Your inside screams... "I CANT' LEAVE HIM, I'M SCARED!" After forcefully shaking until your bones start to hurt, with a light that shines beside you, you step forward into the silhouette, and immediately, your son steps out behind you.

Joy unspeakable! You're at the finish line on your mark waiting for the green light, then waiting for the gun to go off to fly. A mixture of emotions starts from joy to gladness to anticipation to fear to being elated to just plain ole crazy inside.

You've been there for him every minute, everyday, even his day of release, you want to be there not realizing until it hits you that this is your release day too. Words will never be able to explain or capture that moment in your heart what you feel. You give up on trying to describe the feeling. You simply result to "just happy". Every minute is so special to you as well as him. All past events are just that, past events. They don't mean anything anymore.

The pain leaves your eyes; the wisdom sets in along with experience. Now the dove inside you and the eagle inside him is released-----GO FLY!!!!!!

A Mother's Day In Court

The first time I ever experienced screaming from the inside out. You're helpless. You've lost all control, the mercy lies on the court. But what can you do? This is the most helpless time you can experience. The Life of your child lays in someone else's hands, a total stranger. A person who has no knowledge of the heart of your son. It's like someone literally snatches a baby from your arms to do with him what they want to do with him. You can only scream from the inside out. Heart wrenching as it is, again, what can you do but beg for the mercy of the court. "Somebody's mercy, anybody's mercy"!

Everyone in the courtroom are strangers. They only know the crime and the crime knows them. But everyone, this place, this dream, you are unfamiliar with. All of the decisions without my permission come through the court.

What about my decision, my suggestion, my opinion or even my thoughts? This is my son! No body cares, nor do they want to hear them. All I want to do is take my boy home with me, but fate is not on my side this time. The worst day of my life was the day in court, because a part of me was taken away to a cold, unsafe, non-caring place of nowhere. Now my son is gone.

A Mother's Travel

The road to your left is the road of sorrow and grief. The road that veers off to your right is the road of heartbreak and pain. The road that goes toward the north, is the road of fear, the road that goes south is the road of unfamiliar. All these roads curve, twist, and turn.

They eventually end up merging into the one-way street that the mother travels during the entire time her son is in prison, which leads toward his heart. Roadblocks are in the millions all across these roads. Dead end streets are deceitful, because they are without warning. Where is the end of the road and when will I get there?

The end is there but is it near? Is the end of the road bright or is it dim? Who will judge that? Some roads are under construction, they take forever. Some have detours, which brings on confusion. Some are full of red lights. No matter where you travel to, to see your son, believe that there is an end to those long roads. The road will end in this world but never in your heart.

I traveled miles to visit my son and miles to be that voice on the outside for him, as well as support. You don't support the crime committed, you support the love for him. If I had to do it all over again, I would travel those same roads all over again. I would go down those same streets. It was the beginning of our destiny.

It’s a sad state of affairs to have to be one of these mothers. It’s even more of a poignant matter knowing that more often than not, the fathers of these boys are right there with their sons, strung out on drugs, or dead. But there is hope:

“Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.

Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the righteous shall compass me about; for thou shalt deal bountifully with me.”

Psalm 142:6,7

“I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee,

and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;

To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison,

and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.”

Isaiah 42:6,7

DON’T COUNT THE INCARCERATED BROTHERS AND SISTERS OUT!

In my last correspondence with Brother Malakim, he informed me that brothers, as young as sixteen years of age, are being incarcerated. He wants his freedom in order to counsel our youth. The following is what he wrote concerning this most poignant issue:

“…I want to do more because there are so many young children coming to prison now. They are locking them up at 16 years old now. They are building two more prisons, and they are not for me, because I’m already here. The young people should wake up and see what’s gong on, and I don’t understand why they will not do that.

I want to render myself to them because they do need someone to look up to.

The LORD GOD of this whole universe is so good to me. I have to do the right thing.”

It has been suggested that we get out to the prisons and befriend those in the jails [across the country] and, of course, give them reason to hope, for we know that Our Holy ONE of Israel can indeed obtain their release if they will turn to HIM and be obedient to HIS WORD.

“Behold, the Lord GOD will help me; who is he that shall condemn me?

lo, they all shall wax old as a garment; the moth shall eat them up.

“Who is among you that feareth the LORD, that obeyeth the voice of his servant,

that walketh in darkness, and hath no light? let him trust in the name of the LORD,

and stay upon his God.

“Behold, all ye that kindle a fire, that compass yourselves about with sparks:

walk in the light of your fire, and in the sparks that ye have kindled.

This shall ye have of mine hand; ye shall lie down in sorrow.”

Isaiah 50:9 – 11

“Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and do them,

that ye may prosper in all that ye do.”

Deuteronomy 29:9

Turning to the CREATOR GOD couldn’t be more what prospering entails. And “obedience to HIM and to HIS LAW” is the pinnacle of success - not the imaginations of our hearts that will in the end only prove to cause us great pain and suffering. What we “think” would be the last thing the incarcerated would need to hear, and they’d probably see through it anyway.

Should you take the time to visit with them, PLEASE, PLEASE show these Brothers GOD’s Way of Life, and share the reasons for our downfall with them and what Our CREATOR requires that we do to rise out of this Hell.

Subject: Urgent Need for Yisraelite Leaders and Teachers

Shalom,

Thank you for your inquiry.  I am responding to you and to all Yisraelite leaders and teachers.

There is indeed an urgent need for teachers and leadership at area prisons.  At this time, however, I do not have any inmates that I am corresponding with at an Ohio prison.  If you do know of any incarcerated in Ohio, I would be happy to add them to our newsletter mailing list.

To provide some background, my name is Peninnah Baht Zion.  I am the Director of Daughters of Zion, Inc. and editor of the Beth OR prison newsletter.  We publish a monthly newsletter and provide tanahks and other Yisraelite publications for them.

We have been publishing the newsletter for a little over a year now and the one theme that is always expressed by the inmates is the need for leadership.

The inmates who are reaching out to us are dedicated men, who have by some unfortunate turn of events found themselves in the belly of the beast.

I know from their correspondence that it is a hard life, especially for adherent Yisraelites. 

The brothers and sisters are striving against insurmountable odds to keep the laws of Yah in captivity within captivity.

Struggles with dietary issues and the need for instruction are major concerns.  They need local advocates to assist them.

They need leadership to stay strong in prison.  Christian and Muslim organizations are strong in the prisons.  However, the Yisraelite population has no organizational structure to influence and advocate for them.  This is primarily because, thank Yah, their numbers are very small.

Listed above is a contact person for each of the facilities that we are in communication with.   If your camp is located near one of these prisons, please arrange a visit to teach a group.  They would be happy to receive instruction for one day, one week, or one hour a month. 

Please respond if you can help.

Todah Rabah
