Prior
to the MOST HIGH’s enlightenment of HIS people to their heritage and
true
identity, one Yisraelite tribe has been addressed by several by-words
i.e. nigger, negro, colored, black,
afro-American, African-American, etc. Today, Yisraelites that have
reclaimed
their culture know themselves to be of the heritage and linage of
Abraham,
Isaac, and Jacob/Israel and; therefore, Shemitic Hebrews. The European
"Jews"
would have the world to believe that they are the “chosen” people of
YIHOVAH,
but this is not true, because European "Jews" are not Yisraelites, and
they
cannot trace their heritage back to Abraham, Isaac, and
Jacob/Israel. The following discussion of
the Shemitic
people will clearly show the difference between Yisraelite and European
"Jew",
Shemite and non-Shemite:
Shem.

Sem. Literal meanings are named or renown (father of

Hebrews/Israelites, Arabians/Bedouins, Moabites/Jordanians/Palestinians,

and
Israelites are Semites and Hebrews. Six generations after
Heber,
Abram (Abraham) was born, so Abraham was both a Hebrew and a Semite,
born of the
line of Heber and Shem. Ishmael and Isaac were born of
Abraham.
Sunnite Arabs (specifically Arabian Muslims) consider themselves to be
descendants of Ishmael, often calling themselves Ishmaelites, and thus
are both
Semitic and Hebrews. Isaac had twin sons named Esau and
Jacob. Esau
was firstborn, and so had the right to inheritance (as was custom), but
instead
sold his birthright to Jacob during a time of hunger. Esau's name

A bitter
rivalry
between the descendants of Esau and Jacob continued throughout history,

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

and

sabbath to another,
shall
all flesh

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

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

Since we know for a fact that GOD’s Holy
Seventh Day
Sabbath is a “Sign” between HIM and
Perhaps the wise thing to do would be to
define the
word “burden.” But
more
importantly, we need to determine whether or not Exodus 16:29 is a
Commandment
or not. And if it is
determined to
be one, then we should Fear the GOD of

and
the
commandment, which he wrote for you,
he
shall observe

and ye

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!

Significantly, in the beginning when the
Holy ONE of
If “ALL” GOD’s COMMANDMENTS are sure,

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

“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,

commandments which I have written; that thou mayest teach

The Israelite Way of Life was set in stone

according to
ALL GOD’s LAW, as well
as for HIS
Holy Seventh Day Sabbath of Complete REST, i.e., how we are supposed to
keep
it, as well as the consequences for profaning it. And there are no
exceptions.
CONCERNING “HOLY
CONVOCATION”
The issue stemming from the meaning of
“Holy
Convocation” written in Leviticus 23rd Chapter is real, and
the
interpretation is grossly misunderstood.
“Holy Convocation” does not mean “To Gather.” And the sin committed by
traveling and
gathering on the CREATOR’s Holy Sabbath of Complete REST has grave
consequences
(Exodus 31:12 - 18).
Conclusive evidence that “holy
convocation” DOES NOT
mean to assemble is provided in the passage on Passover. In Exodus 12:16 we are
told that
Passover is a “holy convocation” but yet, we are Commanded to
observe this High
Holy Day with our immediate families and only to join with another
family if
one’s members are too few for the lamb (Exodus 12:4). This proves without a doubt
that “holy
convocation” cannot mean to assemble, but rather to keep the holy days
“HOLY.” Some call
attention to the
fact that because Israelites were Commanded to ”…turn in the morning
and go into
their tents”
(Deuteronomy 16:5-7)
that this is proof of an assembly.
Those Israelite families that joined with others are the ones GOD
Commanded to return to their tents.

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

INFO/HINTS FOR HARDY,
HEALTHY
HEBREWS:
HEALTH REPORT FROM THE
DESK OF OUR
SISTER T'ZIRAH BAHT YISRAEL:
Thank you YHWH for
making me.
YOU alone sustain me.
Praise YHWH for HIS
majesty,
for YOUR mercy, and YOUR patience with me.
I just wanted to
thank YOU for
making such a wonderful body.
What a creation you
made. . My
body is a miracle of parts and systems.
Thank you YHWH.
Praise
YHWH.
HALLELUYAH!
HALLELUYAH!
HALLELUYAH!
"And the
LORD (YHWH)
said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed,
which is
upon the
face of all the earth, and every tree,
in there which
is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for
meat."
KJV:
Genesis Chapter
1 Verse 29.
YHWH gives
us what we need, Praise YHWH with your whole heart.
Hallelu
YAH! Hallelu YAH! Hallelu YAH!
The ideal diet promoted today
is just
what Chapter 1 verse 29 of Genesis refers to: Herbs, seeds, nuts,
fruits
and green vegetation. Today, are we slowly evolving towards this
ideal diet
with the downturn of the economy and research constantly proving that
new and
improved processed foods are not the way to go for a healthy
life?
Eat your vegetables your
mother said.
You remember? That wonderful savory one pot meal of Green
beans, mixed
greens, or a variety of dried beans complete with
cornbread?
Although your mother wasn't a
licensed
nutritionist she knew what made you grow and what kept you
healthy.
Many of us thrived despite digesting meals heavy laden with
generous infusions of bacon drippings and pork fat
seasoning.
As our appetites became used
to an
increased consumption of fibrous red meat in the form of steaks and chop
diets,
the sweet and heavy carbohydrate desserts of cake, cookies, and
pies, we
watched as our cholesterol levels rose to dangerous levels, our weight
balloon
and ultimately pay the price for deviating from mama's vegetable
meals with
increased weight and along with this unhealthy
maladies.
Now the trend has reversed
itself again, and instead of rich desserts and red meat
consumption, so
called "experts" are advocating we return to one pot vegetable
meals and
less fat. They now call this ideal diet plan, "The Mediterranean
Diet".
The so called "Mediterranean
Diet" as
experts claim includes all the necessary rich bulk and
vegetables needed for a healthy existence. This cooking type can
easily be
called the African Diet, too!
Both cultures enjoy one dish
meals
complete with vegetables and the occasional meat addition in the form of
lamb.
The same ingredients our ancestors enjoyed millennia
ago.
The oil used then was olive
oil fresh
from all the olive trees or either from the various nut palms instead of
highly
saturated fats like solid vegetable shortenings our parents
used.
The wonderful one pot meal's
ingredients we lost so long ago...
With those one pot meals you'll see the fats replaced with
healthy olive
oil. Pork replaced with lamb, chicken, or fish.
All this new information just
proves
that not only mother did know best, but we're moving ever towards the
healthiest
way of eating that YHWH intended.

IDENTIFICATION:
During a BBQ, a friend

took a little fall - she assured everyone
that she was fine (they
offered to
call paramedics). She said she had
just tripped over a brick because
of her
new shoes.
They got her cleaned up
and got her
a new plate of food. While she appeared
A bit shaken up, Ingrid went
about
enjoying herself the rest of the evening
Ingrid's husband called later
telling
everyone that his wife had been taken
to the hospital - (at 6:00 PM
Ingrid
passed away.) She had suffered a stroke
At the BBQ. Had they known
how to
identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps
Ingrid would be with us
today. Some
don't die.... They end up in a helpless, Hopeless condition instead.
It only takes a minute
to read
this...
A neurologist says that
if he can
get to a stroke victim within 3 hours, he can totally reverse the
effects of a
stroke...totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized,
diagnosed,
and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which
is tough.
RECOGNIZING A
STROKE
Thank God for the
sense to
remember the '3' steps, STR . Read and Learn!
Sometimes symptoms of a
stroke are
difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells
disaster. The
stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to
recognize the symptoms of a stroke. Now doctors say a bystander can
recognize a
stroke by asking three simple questions:
S*Ask the individual
To SMILE.
T *Ask the person to
TALK and S
PEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently).
(I.e. It is sunny out today?)
R *Ask him or her to
RAISE BOTH
ARMS.
If he or she has trouble with
ANY ONE
of these tasks, call 999/911 immediately and describe the symptoms to
the
dispatcher.
New Sign of a Stroke
--------
Stick out Your Tongue.
NOTE: Another 'sign' of a
stroke is
this:
Ask the person to 'stick' out
his
tongue. If
the tongue
is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the
other, that is also an
indication of a stroke.

everyone who
gets this e-mail sends it to 10 people; you can bet that at least one
life will
be saved.

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!

EDITORIAL PERSPECTIVE:
PREFACE
TO THE SEPTEMBER 2008 EDITORIAL
I
feel the
need to write a preface to this month's editorial with hopes to help
give a
better understanding of the ONE True and Living CREATOR GOD of this
Universe and
a better realization of HIS Book of the Law that teaches
Righteousness. To say that HE is the ALL
MIGHTY, HE is
ALL POWER, the GOD of gods, and the GREATEST of all things invented is
an
understatement. The
CREATOR GOD of
"And it shall be, if thou do at
all
forget the LORD thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them,
and
worship them,
I
testify against
you this day that ye shall surely perish."
Deuteronomy
8:19
Under these
circumstances, it is to everyone's advantage to seek the CREATOR GOD and
HIS
Truth – HIS Ways of Righteousness.
As
you read,
give GOD's WORD and the messages HE has left for us the attention they
so much
deserve, and then discern what's right and embrace
it.
" Know therefore this day, and
consider it
in thine heart,
that
the LORD he
is God in heaven above, and upon the earth
beneath:
there is none
else."
Deuteronomy
4:39
"For the LORD your God is God
of gods,
and Lord of lords,
a
great God, a
mighty, and a terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh
reward:"
Deuteronom
10:17
***
THE LORD
IS KNOWN
BY
THE
JUDGMENTS HE EXECUTETH
"Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the
heathen
be judged in thy sight.
Put them in fear, O
LORD:
that the nations may know themselves to be but men.
Selah."
Psalm
9:19,20
"Let favour be shewed to the wicked,
yet will
he not learn righteousness:
in the land of
uprightness will
he deal unjustly,
and will not behold
the majesty
of the LORD."
Isaiah
26:10
"I have seen the wicked in great
power,
and spreading
himself like a
"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.
"But the
transgressors shall be
destroyed together:
the end of the
wicked shall be
cut off."
Psalm
37:35 - 38
August 12,
2008
What is GOD's
Judgment? Can we
recognize GOD's
Judgment when it occurs?
And when
it occurs, will we acknowledge it?
More importantly, will we accept it and proceed accordingly?
We have more than
enough
evidence to attest to the CREATOR's "Judgments", which could mean a
decree to
be followed and kept or a punishment sentenced upon the wicked. This Message is concerning
punishment. Since
CREATION, the
CREATOR's Hand has been disastrous against those who have sabotaged HIS
Plan to
establish Righteousness upon HIS Earth.
This Righteousness that GOD designed represents Holiness to the
LORD GOD
of Hosts – the CREATOR of this Heaven and Earth. Thus, it stands to reason why
the
CREATOR of all these Wonders:
Heaven, Earth, Heavenly bodies, waters, fire, air, mountains,
mankind,
animals, plants, etc., etc. deserves all Praise and Glory that magnifies
HIM and
HIM ALONE above all else.
A GOD of such
magnitude and
Omnipotence must be the ONE to Judge those HE Created who work against
HIS
Agenda for a Lawful and
Since the
BEGINNING of Time
individuals, groups, and nations have experienced the Wrath of GOD
because of
their rebelliousness and wickedness.
However, in contradiction, GOD was not the only ONE responsible
for
inventions. It's been
mankind who
has put anger and sadness in the heart and mind of the
CREATOR.
"And God saw that the wickedness of man
was
great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of
his
heart was only evil continually.
And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and
it
grieved him at his heart." Genesis
6:5,6
Since the
BEGINNING, people
have instituted their imaginations and inspirations to make their ideals
and
their own gods and false religions in an effort to have GOD's Earth run
according to their ways and only on their terms. And since the BEGINNING,
for good
reason, the CREATOR GOD has rendered fatal consequences to these workers
of
iniquity.
"Thou answeredst them, O LORD our God: thou
wast a God
that forgavest them, though thou tookest vengeance of their
inventions. Exalt the LORD our God, and
worship at
his holy hill; for the LORD our God is holy." Psalm 99:8,9
"But God is the judge: he putteth
down one, and
setteth up another. For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup,
and the
wine is red; it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same: but
the
dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out,
and drink them." Psalm 75:7,8
The CREATOR GOD
is a Holy
GOD, and HE wanted and still wants a Holy People. It is for that reason that
everything HE
Created in the BEGINNING was called "good", and that includes, not only
the
Heaven and Earth and all things therein, but also the
"… God saw every thing that he had made, and,
behold,
it was very good..." Genesis
1:31
"O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in
wisdom hast
thou made them all: the earth is full of thy
riches.
"The glory of the LORD shall endure for
ever: the
LORD shall rejoice in his works." Psalm
104:24,31
"… 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
"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
31:12
GOD would not
have been so
negligent to put people on Earth without direction and a means to
survive in
harmony with the Earth HE gave them.
That direction is HIS Divine Plan – HIS Righteous and "Perfect"
LAW -
that would enable all people to love a life of happiness and enjoy HIS
Wondrous
Earth. Noah lived
Righteously
by GOD's LAW (Genesis 6:9), and so also did Abraham (Genesis 26:5). There is but ONE WAY to be
"perfect" and
"walk" with the CREATOR GOD, and that is to walk HIS Paths of
Righteousness. This was
the
CREATOR's Plan in the BEGINNING, and HE will institute HIS Plan again,
after HE
Judges the wicked and brings HIS PEACE to this Earth.
"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
"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." Deuteronomy 32:46
The thing that
people do
not understand is that "Righteousness" is the foundation of "life"
– the
Righteousness that GOD Created.
In the BEGINNING before man was formed, GOD existed in
Righteousness, and
when HE Created Life, HE also Created Righteousness for mankind. Both were Created in the
BEGINNING when
the CREATOR was FIRST and when HE formed man. However, man changed all
that. Not only did man manifest
evil, but
also he manifest the Wrath of the CREATOR GOD that did not exist before
the
Creation of man!
Therefore, the
wicked must be corrected.
"And I charged your judges at that time,
saying, Hear
the causes between your brethren, and judge righteously between
every man and his brother, and the stranger that is with
him.
Ye shall not
respect persons
in judgment; but ye shall hear the small as well as the great; ye
shall
not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment is
God's:…" Deuteronomy
1:16,17
"Let favour be shewed to the wicked,
yet will
he not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness will he deal
unjustly,
and will not behold the majesty of the LORD." Isaiah
26:10
"For thou art not a God that hath
pleasure in
wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee. The foolish shall not stand in
thy
sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity." Psalm 5:4,5
To his hurt, man
has
invented a multitude of ways to do evil.
Consequently the CREATOR instituted HIS Judgments upon all who
transgress against HIM.
"Thou shalt not follow a multitude to
do evil;
neither shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest
judgment:" Exodus
23:2
"God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry
with
the wicked every day." Psalm
7:11
"Say among the heathen that the LORD
reigneth:
the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved: he shall
judge
the people righteously.
"Say among the heathen that the LORD
reigneth:
the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved: he shall
judge
the people righteously. Let the heavens rejoice, and let the
earth be
glad; let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof. Let the field be joyful, and
all that
is therein: then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice Before
the LORD:
for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he shall judge the
world with
righteousness, and the people with his truth." Psalm 96:10
-13
It's easy to look
back in
Biblical history to research GOD's Truth and the facts concerning HIS
Mighty
Hands against the wicked.
Some of
HIS Greatest Acts recorded that demonstrate HIS hatred for evil are the
following:
THE FALL
OF
GOD said, "The
cry of
THE
DESTRUCTION AND DESOLATION OF THE
The Most High GOD
of Israel
fulfilled HIS WORD that HE Commanded in the days of old in the Books of
Leviticus 26th and Deuteronomy 28th
Chapters.
"The Lord was as an enemy: he hath swallowed
up
"The LORD hath done that which he had
devised;
he hath fulfilled his word that he had commanded in the days of old: he
hath
thrown down, and hath not pitied: and he hath caused thine enemy
to
rejoice over thee, he hath set up the horn of thine
adversaries.
"The young and the old lie on the ground in
the
streets: my virgins and my young men are fallen by the sword; thou hast
slain
them in the day of thine anger; thou hast killed, and not
pitied.
Thou hast called as in a solemn day my terrors round about, so that in
the day
of the LORD'S anger none escaped nor remained: those that I have
swaddled and
brought up hath mine enemy consumed." Lamentations
2:17,21,22
"And if ye will not for all this hearken
unto me, but
walk contrary unto me; Then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury;
and
I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your
sins." Leviticus
26:27,28
"And I will make your cities waste, and
bring your
sanctuaries unto desolation, and I will not smell the savour of your
sweet
odours. And I will bring the land into desolation: and your enemies
which dwell
therein shall be astonished at it. And I will scatter you among the
heathen, and
will draw out a sword after you: and your land shall be desolate, and
your
cities waste." Leviticus 26:31 -
33
"When thou shalt beget children, and
children's
children, and ye shall have remained long in the land, and shall corrupt
yourselves, and make a graven image, or the likeness of
any
thing, and shall do evil in the sight of the LORD thy God, to
provoke him
to anger: I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that
ye shall
soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto ye go over Jordan to
possess it;
ye shall not prolong your days upon it, but shall utterly be
destroyed.
And the LORD shall scatter you among the nations, and ye shall be left
few in
number among the heathen, whither the LORD shall lead you. And there ye
shall
serve gods, the work of men's hands, wood and stone, which neither see,
nor
hear, nor eat, nor smell." Deuteronomy 4:25 –
28
The GOD of Israel
did not
lie! HE kept HIS WORD to
curse HIS
People,
"I said, I would scatter them into corners,
I would
make the remembrance of them to cease from among men:" Deuteronomy
32:26
Although the
Scriptures are
replete with information easily documented by other historical facts to
attest
to the true identity of the Children of Israel, people choose NOT to
question
the Ashkenazim and White so-called "converted" peoples who call
themselves
Israelis and "Jews".
They accept
the European so-called "Jewish", albeit peculiar manner of converting
Gentiles
to "Jews" and without questioning how the GOD of
The fall and
desolation of
the
Surely, we can
imagine what
it is like to live in a world that exists under ways not endorsed by the
CREATOR, i.e., the ways of the heathen: White Supremacy,
subjugation,
injustice, oppression, exploitation, pagan religions, astrology, and all
manner
of lusts and obscene behaviors just as exists today. GOD did not call Gentiles
"heathens" for
naught, and it is because of the disobedience of the sinful Biblical
Israelites
that this cursed consumption is determined upon
"Now therefore be ye not mockers, lest your
bands be
made strong: for I have heard from the Lord GOD of hosts a
consumption, even
determined upon the whole earth." Isaiah
28:22
THE RISE
OF GENTILE NATIONS STEMS FROM REBELLIOUS
ISRAELITES
After the fall
and
destruction of the Children of
Assyrian,
Babylonian,
Medio/Persian, Grecian, and Roman are the most infamous and pagan of all
empires. Today, following
their
lead, we are faced with world powers equally as menacing and as dominant
in
heathenish ways:
"They have moved me to jealousy with that
which
is not God; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and
I will
move them to jealousy with those which are not a people; I will
provoke
them to anger with a foolish nation." Deuteronomy
32:21
"I was wroth with my people, I have polluted
mine
inheritance, and given them into thine hand: thou didst shew them no
mercy;
upon the ancient hast thou very heavily laid thy
yoke." Isaiah
47:6
GOD's Wrath
against HIS
stiff-necked Covenant People was swift and JUST. The Israelites made Covenant
after
Covenant to be the People of the GOD of Israel and to live according to
HIS Book
of the Law, but have worshipped their SAVIOR with their lips but utterly
despised HIM and HIS Ways.
Thus,
the Israelites have been scattered and under Gentile heathenish control
even
since the Babylonian Empire.
After returning from the 70-year Babylonian captivity, the
Israelites
never fully returned to the GOD of Israel and HIS LAW, and for that
reason, the
Holy ONE of
AND the CREATOR sits
back
watching all this misery on this Earth that we call "life" and
"religions" that
we call "divine" that do nothing to sustain happiness in our lives,
wondering
how long it will take the peoples on this Earth to turn to HIM to seek
HIS Ways
of Righteousness, for the good and rewards of prosperity it all
promises. GOD's Ways of Righteousness
are all
about worshipping ONLY HIM and living
Righteously!
"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." Joshua 1:7,8
"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
No doubt, the
CREATOR
wonders how long the people of the world will choose ways not cast up
and ways
that promise only affliction and suffering without end.
"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; To
make their land desolate, and a perpetual
hissing; every one that passeth thereby shall be
astonished,
and wag his head. 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. Then said they, Come, and let us devise devices against
Jeremiah; for the law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from
the
wise, nor the word from the prophet. Come, and let us smite him with the
tongue,
and let us not give heed to any of his words." Jeremiah 18:15 -
18
"I will go and return to my place,
till they
acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they
will seek
me early." Hosea
5:15
"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
THE FALL
OF GOD's WAYS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS WAS THE WORK OF HIS OWN
HAND
"And it shall come to pass, that as
the LORD
rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you; so the LORD will
rejoice
over you to destroy you, and to bring you to nought; and ye shall be
plucked
from off the land whither thou goest to possess it. And the LORD shall scatter thee
among all
people, from the one end of the earth even unto the other; and there
thou shalt
serve other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known,
even
wood and stone." Deuteronomy
28:63,64
"Therefore will I cast you out of this land
into a
land that ye know not, neither ye nor your fathers; and there
shall ye
serve other gods day and night; where I will not shew you
favour." Jeremiah
16:13
The Christian
religion,
itself, is a justifiable penalty for believing, trusting, and
worshipping a
man-god invented by workers whose only goal was to raise up and magnify
a new
god – one
whom people can believe in and have "everlasting life" just for doing
so. I have heard Senator Obama say
JC washed
away his sins, and on the same program Senator McCain said he was saved
and
forgiven. Suppose they
both commit
sins against the Living GOD?
What
then? Are they still
forgiven and
saved? But what everyone
should be
asking is, "How can Christians be saved, when they live in the midst
of Hell,
Damnation, and wickedness?
In
other words, how can one stand in water and say, "I am not wet"?
The Salvation of
the True
and Living GOD will happen when HE cuts off the wicked. HIS scheduled Plan for
SALVATION is not
without good reason. We
don't want
the wicked taking what Blessings we might have, so therefore, the things
GOD has
prepared for the Righteous will manifest "when the wicked are cut
off".
"The wicked watcheth the righteous, and
seeketh to
slay him." Psalm
37:32
"…wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal
treacherously, and holdest thy tongue when the wicked
devoureth the
man that is more righteous than he?" Habakkuk
1:13
"Yea also, because he transgresseth by wine,
he
is a proud man, neither keepeth at home, who enlargeth his desire as
hell,
and is as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathereth unto him
all
nations, and heapeth unto him all people: Shall not all these take up a
parable
against him, and a taunting proverb against him, and say, Woe to him
that
increaseth that which is not his! how long? and to him that
ladeth
himself with thick clay!" Habakkuk
2:5,6
"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." Psalm
37:34
"Behold, the people shall rise up as a great
lion, and
lift up himself as a young lion: he shall not lie down until he eat
of
the prey, and drink the blood of the slain." Numbers
23:34
"Therefore wait ye upon me, saith the LORD,
until the
day that I rise up to the prey: for my determination is to gather
the
nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them mine
indignation,
even all my fierce anger: for all the earth shall be devoured
with the
fire of my jealousy." Zephaniah
3:8
As much as I
adore Senator
Obama, he and all who believe in this so-called "Son of God" are
believing in a
man-made fairy tale, for the CREATOR GOD has not endorsed such a
religion. HIS Salvation is based solely
on doing
and living Righteously according to HIS Divine
LAW.
"Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of
the
father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it
shall
die. But if a man be just, and do that which is lawful and
right,
"…Hath walked in my statutes, and hath
kept my
judgments, to deal truly; he is just, he shall surely live, saith
the
Lord GOD." Ezekiel
18:4,5,9
"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." Ezekiel 18:20 –
22
"Again, when the wicked man turneth
away from
his wickedness that he hath committed, and doeth that which is lawful
and right,
he shall save his soul alive." Ezekiel
18:27
Take note that the Most High GOD of
"Ye shall therefore keep all my statutes,
and all my
judgments, and do them: that the land, whither I bring you to dwell
therein,
spue you not out. And ye
shall not
walk in the manners of the nation, which I cast out before you: for they
committed all these things, and therefore I abhorred them." Leviticus 20:22,23 (See also Deuteronomy
31:12)
Since the Roman
era's debut
highlighting Christianity, a billion people believe in this "Son of God"
and a
billion people are still grossly unfulfilled and
unhappy, even though
everyone gets
what they wanted, i.e., people do as they please, live as they choose,
and
embrace and worship a helpless god to believe in, one who couldn't save
himself
from brutal attacks and, albeit, one who dies on a cross, never to be
seen
again. He had no qualms
about
leaving people depressed and woeful and in the hands of ruthless Romans,
proving
he was certainly no Moses and for sure not sent by GOD to the "Lost
Sheep of the
House of Israel"!!!
It stands to
reason, that
the writers of the "New Testament" had no knowledge of the Hebrew
Scriptures. They should have
known that
"The Lost Sheep of the House of
"But this thing commanded I them, saying,
Obey my
voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in
all the
ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you. 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
"This evil people, which refuse to hear my words, which walk
in the
imagination of their heart, and walk after other gods, to serve them,
and to
worship them, shall even be as this girdle, which is good for
nothing. For as the girdle cleaveth to
the loins
of a man, so have I caused to cleave unto me the whole house of Israel
and the
whole house of Judah, saith the LORD; that they might be unto me for a
people,
and for a name, and for a praise, and for a glory: but they would not
hear." Jeremiah
13:10,11
"… ye have done worse than your fathers;
for, behold,
ye walk every one after the imagination of his evil heart, that they may
not
hearken unto me:" Jeremiah
16:12
It takes no
genius to
realize that if the CREATOR GOD of
"But they hearkened not, nor inclined their
ear, but
walked in the counsels and in the imagination of their evil
heart, and
went backward, and not forward.
Since the day that
your
fathers came forth out of the land of Egypt unto this day I have even
sent unto
you all my servants the prophets, daily rising up early and sending
them:
Yet they hearkened
not unto
me, nor inclined their ear, but hardened their neck: they did worse than
their
fathers. Therefore
thou
shalt speak all these words unto them; but they will not hearken to
thee: thou
shalt also call unto them; but they will not answer thee. But thou shalt say unto
them, This
is a nation that obeyeth not the voice of the LORD their God, nor
receiveth correction: truth is perished, and is cut off from their
mouth." Jeremiah 7:24 -
28
"…they said, There is no hope: but we will
walk after
our own devices, and we will every one do the imagination of his evil
heart." Jeremiah
18:12
The "New
Testament"
theology of belief in a "man" defies the JEALOUS GOD of Israel, and
those who do
believe in this man-god are paying the painful price for doing
so.
THE
CREATOR GOD IS A JEALOUS GOD WHOSE HOLY NAME IS "JEALOUS" AND IS MUCH
ANGERED AT
THE WORSHIP OF OTHER DEITIES
"But ye shall destroy their altars, break
their
images, and cut down their groves:
For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name
is
Jealous, is a jealous God:" Exodus
34:13,14
"And
"Circumcise yourselves to the
LORD, and take away the foreskins of your heart,
ye men of
Is this a Jealous GOD or
what?
Why
pray to someone or something that is not even proved by historians to
ever have
existed, anyway?
Moreover, if JC
were all that he is cracked up to be, GOD would have shown him to be as
powerful
a man, as was HIS Servant Moses or one of HIS other faithful
Prophets. But it never
happened!!! Throughout the "Old
Testament" this
Jealous GOD of
"Take ye therefore good heed unto
yourselves;
for ye saw no manner of
similitude
on the day that the LORD spake unto you in Horeb out of the midst
of the
fire: Lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven
image, the
similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female," Deuteronomy
4:15,16
Or the likeness of a man posing as a god of
some kind
of so-called "Trinity" that the CREATOR GOD of
However, Israelites did not listen, and HE
demonstrated HIS hatred of their idolatry by punishing them in the
harshest of
ways. HE is a Jealous
GOD,
remember, and HE has no patience with transgressors, especially idol
worshippers?
Think about the jealous husband who catches
his wife
with another man. Surely,
now, you
can understand GOD's meaning of "Jealous".
(See Ezekiel 16th Chapter.)
"For my people is foolish, they have
not known
me; they are sottish children, and they have none understanding:
they
are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no
knowledge." Jeremiah
4:22
"Turn, O backsliding children, saith the
LORD; for I
AM MARRIED UNTO YOU: and I
will take
you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to
"And thou shalt swear, The LORD liveth, in
truth, in
judgment, and in righteousness; and the nations shall bless themselves
in him,
and in him shall they glory." Jeremiah
4:2
"Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I
will save my
people from the east country, and from the west country; And I
will bring
them, and they shall dwell in the midst of
"And it shall come to pass, that as
ye were a
curse among the heathen, O house of Judah, and house of Israel; so will
I save
you, and ye shall be a blessing: fear not, but let your hands be
strong." Zechariah 8:13
The Prophet
Zechariah
speaks of prophecy, and nowhere in this passage or in the Book of
Jeremiah is
there even any hint or suggestion of acknowledging JC in the days of the
Biblical Israelites or for the future.
It should be perfectly understood that the GOD of
"Now these are the commandments, the
statutes,
and the judgments, which the LORD your God commanded to teach you, that
ye might
do them in the land whither ye go to possess it: That thou
mightest fear the LORD thy God, to keep all his statutes and his
commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's
son,
all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged.
Hear
therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well
with thee,
and that ye may increase mightily, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath
promised
thee, in the land that floweth with milk and honey. Hear, O
Israel:
The LORD our God is one LORD:" Deuteronomy 6:1 –
4
ONE LORD not three, as in
"Trinity".
"And the LORD said unto Moses, Come up to me
into the
mount, and be there: and I will give thee tables of stone, and a law,
and
commandments which I have written; that thou mayest teach
them." Exodus
24:12
"…the LORD commanded us to do all these
statutes, to
fear the LORD our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us
alive, as
it is at this day. 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
6:24,25
How can we expect to glean all the goodness
and
benefits out of GOD's Righteous Commandments, if we add people's
inspirations
and imaginations to them - making GOD's LAWS nothing more than useless
hybrids?
GOD's LAW has been removed, and placed in
its stead
is Christianity, and as a result, we can see just how wicked and evil
this
planet has become. Unfortunately, we have had to
waste more
than 2,000 years before realizing that belief in a man-god does not heal
this
world, albeit, since the so-called "Coming of JC", the thinking of
mankind has
gotten progressively worse.
All that being a
given
fact, not only can we NOT accept JC as a "saviour", but we cannot accept
anything in the "New Testament".
Reason being is that this "NT" Book is just that - something
"New" and something totally different from
GOD's
Statutes and Judgments.
The
CREATOR GOD is against such eccentric theology because it will
"TURN YOU AWAY FROM THE LORD YOUR
GOD". And isn't this exactly what
the "New
Testament" teachings have done?
This book teaches Christian worshippers to pray to JC, believe in
JC,
worship JC, and trust in this "man" that the CREATOR never ever
introduced to
the Israelites or indorsed.
Of
a Truth, the world has been grossly misinformed. It's no wonder the people of
this world,
rich and poor, have fallen by the wayside!
When a billion people prefer to believe in a "man" and choose
not to
seek the GOD of Hosts, you've got to realize that the CREATOR of all
things is
not happy and is out for revenge and for good
reason.
How is belief in
a man
supposed to end wickedness and evil? GOD's Laws, Statutes, and
Judgments
are in place, if we will accept them and use them to teach and instill
Righteousness! Is not
GOD's Paths
of Righteousness purposed to turn people to do what's Lawful and Right
and teach
this world of peoples how to live in harmony on HIS Earth? Man has all but eliminated
GOD's LAW,
and consequently this planet is in absolute chaos and confusion without
anything
resembling a remedy anywhere in any country in
sight.
Ironically, over
decades,
countless times I have heard Christians give thanks to JC and never have
I heard
them utter a single word of thanks to the CREATOR GOD of
Moses.
"…hath God assayed to go and take him
a nation
from the midst of another nation, by temptations, by signs, and
by
wonders, and by war, and by a mighty hand, and by a stretched out arm,
and by
great terrors, according to all that the LORD your God did for you in
Egypt
before your eyes? Unto
thee it was
shewed, that thou mightest know that the LORD he is God; there
is
none else beside him." Deuteronomy
4:34,35
Christians
neither know the
GOD of
"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;"
I Chronicles 16:8 –
12
"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." I
Chronicles 16:23 – 26
The Rulers of this world have a serious
price to pay
for sending their Missionaries around the world to convert Third-World
Peoples
into believing in JC when they should be singing the CREATOR GOD's
Praises and
giving utmost Thanks to HIM!
"O Lord GOD, thou hast begun to shew thy
servant thy
greatness, and thy mighty hand: for what God is there in heaven
or in
earth, that can do according to thy works, and according to thy
might?" Deuteronomy
3:24
"Whom have I in heaven but thee? and
there
is none upon earth that I desire beside thee.
My flesh and my heart faileth: but
God
is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever." Psalm
73:25,26
"For who in the heaven can be compared unto
the LORD?
who among the sons of the mighty CAN BE LIKENED UNTO THE
LORD?" Psalm
89:6
And just for the
record,
the CREATOR GOD of Israel not only wants us praying to HIM but also
fasting to
HIM, as well.
"Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye
even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with
weeping, and
with mourning:" Joel
2:12
"Speak unto all the people of the land, and
to the
priests, saying, When ye fasted and mourned in the fifth and seventh
month, even those seventy years, did ye at all fast unto me,
even
to me?"
Zechariah
7:5
"Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that
favour my
righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be
magnified,
which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant. And my tongue
shall
speak of thy righteousness and of thy praise all the day
long." Psalm 35:27
So, does the
CREATOR GOD of
"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. THEN SHALL YE CALL UPON ME, AND YE SHALL GO AND PRAY UNTO ME, A
