THE ROAD LEAST TRAVELED
Traveling from point “A” to point “B” whether on foot
or in a car is a lot easier these days because of “global positioning systems”
or GPS as they are more commonly known.
GPS systems have made foreigners act like locals when it comes to
getting around but some people use GPS systems and still get lost. Long story short……it pays to know where
you’re going and its best to know how to get there.
Generally speaking, most people are like sheep;
following the “crowd” both directionally and metaphorically. The philosophical
“Road Least Traveled” is not a road for a weak minded individual. A traveler on this road must have confidence
in his/her inner compass. Religions
thrive on people with a sheep herd mentality.
Yisraelites are the flock of the MOST HIGH YIHOVAH but
instead of following the sheep herder, ELOHIM, Yisrael supposedly decided to
follower a strange god or gods. In the
scriptures YIHOVAH said that this shall not be.
The “lost sheep” of Yisrael has been following the wrong paths for so
long that following the path to YIHOVAH is deemed un-natural without the
inclusion of multiple gods such as jc.
My feet are set on the path directed by the MOST HIGH
in how I follow HIM and obey HIS laws, statutes, and commandments. I say this not meaning that I am perfect and
without sin but rather I say that I will pray and ask for forgiveness and atone
for my sins personally; not following a path that is not of YIHOVAH for I chose
the path of the Road Least Traveled:
Preserve me, O God for in thee do I put my trust.

[O my soul], thou hast said unt the LORD, Thou [art]
my Lord: my goodness [extendeth] not to thee; |
|
[But] to the saints that [are] in the earth, and
[to] the excellent, in whom [is] all my delight. |
|
Their sorrows shall be multiplied [that] hasten
[after] another [god]: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor
take up their names into my lips. |
|
The LORD [is] the portion of mine inheritance and of
my cup: thou maintainest my lot. |
|
The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant [places];
yea, I have a goodly heritage. |
|
I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my
reins also instruct me in the night seasons. |
|
I have set the LORD always before me: because [he
is] at my right hand, I shall not be moved. |
|
Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth:
my flesh also shall rest in hope. |
|
For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither
wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. |

Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence
[is] fulness of joy; at thy right hand [there are] pleasures for evermore. |

PUT DOWN PAYMENTS ON WISDOM
HALLELUYAH, HALLELUYAH, HALLELUYAH
August 2011
THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC, AND JACOB LOVES HIS PEOPLE
and is calling attention to HIMSELF so that we may know HIM and can please HIM
with our heart and soul.
May we be led by GOD’s Holy Spirit. So often I feel I am being guided to know the
truth and to follow our GOD. When HE is
working with us, surely we have to know it.
There seems to be a powerful force showing us the way. I cannot explain it, but this is what I
feel. May we all accept counsel from our
GOD of Abraham in HIS ways of truth and righteousness. We are on earth to follow GOD’s way because
HE created us, and therefore, we must do HIS Will. HE gives us a chance to seek HIM, and we
cannot fool the LORD GOD of Israel. HE
knows all about us. So let us get to
know HIM. How do we do this? We learn about our GOD of Israel by studying
the Hebrew Scriptures in the Old Testament.
If we want to get to know our Father in Heaven, we
must spend time with HIM by reading about how HE spent time with our
forefathers, what HE Commanded for them and for us to do, and what HE said that
we must not do. Then we learn to discern
right from wrong.
We need to read chapter to chapter from Genesis to
Malachi if we really seek to know the GOD of Israel, what HE said in HIS law,
and what HE said to HIS Prophets. Then
we can say for sure exactly what our Father of Israel wants us to do as we walk
in HIS ways. Yes, when we come out of
the New Testament, it is not always easy, but if we keep striving to do what’s
commanded, our GOD of Israel will help us to understand what we need to know.
GOD puts thoughts in our mind, and that is HIM talking
to us encouraging us, and giving us understanding. So often when I read the Hebrew Scriptures, I
read to myself and concentrate real hard on what’s written. Try to find time every day to read GOD’s word
and see the difference it will make with your understanding HIM. By studying our history we become wise about
why we are in a heathen country and how we can get out of it, too. And by studying about our GOD of Israel, we
learn what to do so that HE will have mercy on us.
“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
“When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.” Ezekiel 3:18
“He that hath not given forth upon usury, neither hath taken any increase, that hath withdrawn his hand from iniquity, hath executed true judgment between man and man, 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 18:8,9
Blessed be the GOD of Abraham and Moses, and blessed be HIS Holy Name for evermore!

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.

shall all flesh come to worship before me,

START THE NEW MOON WATCH ON THE EVENINGS OF
<<< August 28,29,30, 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
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
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.

and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.”
Exodus 31:17,18
Since we know for a fact that GOD’s Holy
Seventh Day Sabbath is a “Sign” between HIM and
Perhaps the wise thing to do would be to
define the word “burden.” But more importantly, we need to determine
whether or not Exodus 16:29 is a Commandment or not. And if it is
determined to be one, then we should Fear the GOD of
“But the
LORD, who brought you up out of the
and a stretched out arm, him shall ye fear, and him shall ye worship,
and to him shall ye do sacrifice. And the statutes, and the ordinances, and the law,
and the commandment, which he wrote for you,
he shall observe to do for ever more;
and ye shall not fear other gods.”
II Kings 17:36,37
Why must we debate that which is clearly written for us to do and for very good reason, if we will only consider and think about it? The Holy ONE wants us to be first to observe HIS weekly Anniversary of Creation, which is to keep HIS Holy Seventh day at REST, as HE did, in order that we might be REFRESHED!
“REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY, TO KEEP IT HOLY”
Exodus 20:8
“See, for that the LORD hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.” Exodus 16:29
“And Moses
gathered all the congregation of the children of
“Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you an holy day, a sabbath of rest to the LORD: whosoever doeth work therein shall be put to death.” Exodus 35:1,2
“Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation [“HOLY DAY”]; ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings.” Leviticus 23:3
“Six days may
work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD:
whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.
Wherefore the children of
“And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.” Genesis 2:2,3
Significantly, in the beginning when the
Holy ONE of
If “ALL” GOD’s COMMANDMENTS are sure, then for sure, we must give credence to Exodus 16:29 and abide in our places on GOD’s HOLY Seventh Day of Complete REST as we are COMMANDED TO DO!
“He hath shewed his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen. The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure.” Psalm 111:7
GOD’s Holy Seventh Day Sabbath of REST is not only one of HIS Greatest WORKS of all time, but this Holy Day is an extraordinary “SIGN” between this Most High GOD, the CREATOR and HIS Chosen People, the Children of Israel! This Seventh Day also marks the Anniversary of GOD ending the Creations of the Heavens, Earth, man, and all that is therein.
“Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.” Genesis 2:1 - 3
“And he said unto them, This is that which the LORD hath said, Tomorrow is the rest of the holy sabbath unto the LORD: bake that which ye will bake today, and seethe that ye will seethe; and that which remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning.
“See, for that the LORD hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.” Exodus 16:23,29
“And the LORD said unto Moses, Come up to me into the mount, and be there: and I will give thee tables of stone, and a law, and commandments which I have written; that thou mayest teach them.” Exodus 24:12
“Behold, I have taught you statutes and judgments, even as the LORD my God commanded me, that ye should DO SO IN THE LAND whither ye go to possess it.” Deuteronomy 4:5 (Caps. are mine.)

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

the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac,
and the God of Jacob…this is my name for ever,
and this is my memorial unto all generations.”
Exodus 3:15
“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.”
Isaiah 43:10,11
“For thy word's sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done

Wherefore thou art great, O LORD God: for there is none like thee,
neither is there any God beside thee, according to all that we have heard with
our ears.”

QUESTIONS ON
“OLD TESTAMENT” BIBLE TRIVIA TO PONDER:
QUESTIONS TWO:
What is it that is Commanded of the Israelite Priests to do on the
Seventh Day of each month?
***
Can you explain whether or not in these days Our GOD of Israel is still
punishing us as a Nation or as individuals?
***
Q AND A (QUESTION AND ANSWER):
“I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor he goats out of thy folds. For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills. I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine. If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof. Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats? ” Psalm 50:913
If every sheep, goat, cow/ox are the CREATOR’s, why
then does Our GOD require that we sacrifice these animals unto HIM?
Sacrifice to the GOD of Israel, as HE Commands
demonstrates honor and reverence of HIM and confirms HIM to be the True and
Living GOD. It also endorses Fearing and
Worshipping the GOD to whom we must make sacrifices.
“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.” II Kings 17:36
Daily sacrifices are memorials to the Nation of Israel
that Our GOD of Israel is GOD and that there is none else. And these evening and morning sacrifices are
to remind us to put Our GOD in remembrance at all times be it in the day or be
it in the night, for indeed HE ALONE is
the ONE GOD and SAVIOR of this Universe.
Our GOD’s Holy Days are just as revealing of this
Truth, as these days make no mistake about worshipping HIM with sacrifice and
exactly how each day should be observed and why, even in addition to the daily
sacrifices.
It is worthwhile to note how certain individuals
worshipped the CREATOR after learning about HIM, as well as the importance of
sacrificing animals that are WITHOUT BLEMISH:
“…Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of
his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his
offering:”
Genesis 4:4
“Then the men feared the LORD exceedingly, and offered a sacrifice unto the LORD, and made vows.” Jonah 1:16
“A son honoureth his father, and a servant his master: if then I be a father, where is mine honour? and if I be a master, where is my fear? saith the LORD of hosts unto you, O priests, that despise my name. And ye say, Wherein have we despised thy name? Ye offer polluted bread upon mine altar; and ye say, Wherein have we polluted thee? In that ye say, The table of the LORD is contemptible. And if ye offer the blind for sacrifice, is it not evil? and if ye offer the lame and sick, is it not evil? offer it now unto thy governor; will he be pleased with thee, or accept thy person? saith the LORD of hosts.” Malachi 1:6 – 8
Of course, we cannot do sacrifice at this time, as
GOD’s Ministers, the Priests are not yet designated, and Our GOD of Israel has
not re-established HIS Holy City Jerusalem.
Upon our return to our heritage, we will again offer sacrifices in
abundance to Our SAVIOR and REDEEMER, the CREATOR GOD of Abraham, Isaac, and
Jacob.

INFORMATION AND SUGGESTIONS FOR HARDY, HEALTHY HEBREWS:
HEALTH
With a Long List but Short on Money,
F.D.A. Tackles Food Safety
This summer there has been a drumbeat of food-related
illnesses. Strawberries containing E. coli killed one person in Oregon and sickened
at least nine others. Ground turkey contaminated with
salmonella poisoned more
than 100 people nationwide, with one dead, and prompted one of the largest meat
recalls ever. Imported papayas tainted with salmonella sickened at least 99. Sprouts grown in Idaho were linked to salmonella illnesses in five states.

Times Topics: Food Safety | Food and Drug Administration
The landmark food safety law passed by Congress last December is supposed to reduce the
frequency and severity of food safety problems, but the roll call of recent
cases underlines the magnitude of the task.
“It’s an enormous undertaking,” said Mike Taylor, the Food and Drug Administration’s deputy commissioner for foods, whose
job it is to turn the far-reaching law into a coherent set of rules that
farmers, food processors and importers can follow and regulators can enforce.
The agency is taking on the expanded mission at a time when
Washington budget-slashing means that regulators have little hope of getting
additional money and may instead have their budgets cut by Congress.
“We have to have the resources to implement this law,” Mr.
Taylor said.
“The stark choice is we either find the resources or we
forgo implementing this law the way Congress intended. You can’t build
something brand-new without the resources to do it.”
The agency is now in the process of writing the food safety
rules called for by the law, with the goal of preventing outbreaks like those
this summer. (The nation’s meat and poultry supply was already regulated by the
Agriculture Department and is unaffected by the new law.)
One of the most complex jobs involves setting standards for
farmers to grow and harvest fruits and vegetables safely. The first draft of
the farm rules is due early next year. The agency has not said what they will
include, but they are expected to deal with basics like hand-washing stations
for field workers, tests of irrigation water and measures to protect fields
from wild animals that can track in bacteria.
Investigators in Oregon say they believe that deer may have
brought E. coli into the strawberry fields there, so such federal rules could
potentially help prevent future outbreaks of that kind.
Yet the standards must take into account a huge variety of
crops, farming practices and farm sizes.
The task is all the more delicate because the agency has
never before had a major presence on American farms.
For a year and a half, well before Congress passed the food
safety law, Mr. Taylor has been on a listening tour, visiting farmers around
the country and seeking to allay their fears that an army of food safety
bureaucrats will come storming through their fields telling them how to do
their jobs.
Recently, he visited Long Island, where he tramped through
the sandy fields of the 30-acre Deer
Run lettuce farm of Bob
Nolan in Brookhaven.
Mr. Nolan said he was initially anxious about the new law
but was now eager to help the agency make it work for farmers. Mr. Taylor was
joined by several agency employees involved in writing the farm rules, and Mr.
Nolan told them that he hoped the visit would help them better understand how a
farm worked.
He went over steps he had taken to improve food safety,
including creating a tracking system that linked every head of lettuce he sold
to the section of field where it was grown and doing yearly tests of irrigation
water for dangerous bacteria. And he asked for clear guidance in the rules for
techniques like how to safely use composted horse manure to fertilize his
fields.
The complexity of the F.D.A.’s task became clear as the day
went on. At the second stop, a potato farm in Riverhead, the owner Jimmy
Zilnicki said that he knew little about what the government expected of him.
“We’re all just trying to find out what this food safety
thing is all about,” he said. Besides, he argued, potatoes were a safe crop and
he questioned whether it was worth including them in food safety rules.
Mr. Taylor told him that the F.D.A.’s job was to focus most
of its efforts where the food safety risks were greatest.
The third stop was a 65-acre organic farm in Riverhead, run
by Eve Kaplan-Walbrecht and her husband, Chris. They grow a dizzying array of
crops, from arugula to zucchini, most of which they sell directly to customers
through farmers’ markets and buying clubs.
They, too, had made costly improvements with an eye toward
food safety, including building a large processing shed with a concrete floor,
treated water, a bathroom and refrigerated storage. The new law exempts small
farms that average less than $500,000 a year in sales and sell mostly to local
customers. But Ms. Kaplan-Walbrecht said that her farm, known as Garden of Eve, brings in too much money to qualify for
the exemption.
She worried that the new law could become a burden for
small farmers, either by adding paperwork or by unleashing regulators with
little understanding of how a farm worked.
“If you’re going to be in fear that someone’s going to show
up and there’s going to be a rabbit in your carrot patch and you’re going to
get in trouble, then that’s a problem,” she said.

Times Topics: Food Safety | Food and Drug Administration
But while farmers worry that the rules will be too
stringent, food safety advocates worry that budget cuts could render the law
toothless.
The Congressional Budget Office has said the F.D.A. will
need hundreds of millions of dollars in new financing to execute the law, and
there appears little chance that Mr. Taylor will get it.
The Republican-controlled House of Representatives has
passed an appropriations bill that largely eliminates new money for the F.D.A.
The Democrat-controlled Senate has not made its own proposal. But advocates
fear that the new Congressional supercommittee that is to propose cuts under
the debt ceiling deal could further pare the agency’s finances.
A budget freeze or cuts would have the greatest impact on
the ambitious increase in inspections called for under the new law, which ramp
up each year.
“Writing rules is inexpensive; enforcing them is
expensive,” said David W. Acheson, a former associate commissioner of the
F.D.A. who is now a food safety consultant. “There will be a public health
impact because enforcement won’t be to the extent they want to do it.”
The agency has already said that, without lots of new
money, it won’t be able to conduct the thousands of foreign food inspections
the law would require after a few years. Increasing domestic inspections would
be difficult, too. The F.D.A. has about 1,000 inspectors trained to visit food
establishments but most of them also inspect drug and medical device
facilities. Hiring new inspectors or retraining existing ones is costly.
So far, Mr. Taylor has won praise for the introduction of
the new law. A lawyer and longtime official at the F.D.A. and the Agriculture
Department, he headed the U.S.D.A.’s food safety office in 1994 when the agency
declared it illegal to sell ground beef containing a toxic form of E. coli
bacteria, a move that was fiercely opposed by the meat industry. He has also
worked in the private sector, most recently as a vice president for public
policy at Monsanto, the agricultural chemical and biotech company.
“I’ve never seen the agency go at anything with such
enthusiasm,” said Carol L. Tucker Foreman, a food policy expert at the Consumer
Federation of America. But she feared that without a higher budget, the agency
would take shortcuts. The law requires the most frequent inspections at the
riskiest facilities, and Ms. Tucker Foreman questioned whether the agency would
simply classify fewer operations as high risk to make its job easier.
Mr. Taylor said that would not happen. “We’re not going to
game the system,” he said.

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.

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:
COMING
OUT
Let’s be real. Let’s do some real serious soul searching. And let’s
start with what we believe. Let’s contemplate every facet of this “COMING
OUT…”, and then let’s discern the right thing that the GOD of
Israel would want us to do.
“Coming Out” entails desiring to abandon this Gentile society, separate one’s
self from these Gentile religions, and then physically leave out of Babylon and
all places where the Twelve Tribes of Israel have been scattered to serve the
heathen.
First and foremost, we have to stop straddling the fence. We have to come
to terms with what’s written in the Hebrew Scriptures. We, Israelites,
know our identity, and we know the Most High GOD of Hosts.
More than that, we know exactly what’s expected of us being GOD’s Covenant
People.
Hence, being the Chosen People of GOD, our priority is to learn the GOD’s
Truth, know what pleases Our REDEEMER, and seek to fulfill HIS Commandments, as
required of us. The one thing that we do know is that we are under the
control of Gentiles because our forefathers forsook the GOD of Israel and
rejected HIS Righteous Laws, Statutes, and Judgments. When we come into
this knowledge, more than anything, we should find ways to study the
Hebrew-Israelite, Way of Life that the GOD of Israel gave to HIS Servant Moses
to teach to the Children of Israel in the Wilderness after they came out of the
Egyptian House of Bondage. That’s a no brainer! What people would
not want to know their roots, where their forebears have been, and where they
might be going? Finding out all we can about our roots should be a
life-long endeavor, especially when our beginning began with the CREATOR GOD
choosing us above all people on the Earth and since we know exactly why we
suffer at the hands of our enemies. It would appear that “Coming Out”
takes traditions, rituals, customs, religions, and all the ways of the heathen
into consideration. Which God’s SIDE am I on?
Israelites who are new to GOD’s Truth, who were born and raised in Gentile
lands do not realize that it is not easy to drop Gentile customs and religions
that they have lived all their lives. And hence, what they do is look and
speak like an Israelite, but they still have some of the hopes, dreams, and
religions of Gentiles in their hearts. When NewComers find out about the
GOD of Israel, it takes a while for them to Fear HIM in the beginning. Before
that happens, the GOD of Israel does something to strike fear in their
hearts. Then they tend to listen and be more aware of their devotion or
lack thereof to HIM. Don’t get me wrong. When NewComers find out
about the GOD of Israel, they wholeheartedly make HIM their GOD, but they are
not so quick to eliminate the religious customs of the heathen out of their
lives.
Christianity has confused us and has kept us in ABSOLUTE DARKNESS ever since
the Slave Masters and the powers-that-be around the world took control of our
lives, causing our people to live as they choose in order that we remain
suppressed and walk backwards.
“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,
13To
keep the commandments of the LORD, and his statutes, which I command thee this
day for thy good?” Deuteronomy 10:12,13
“Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of Israel: Thus
saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the
signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. For the customs of the
people are vain...” Jeremiah 10:1 – 3
We are supposed to be a “Holy” People for Our GOD, therefore, much of our life
is built on a Divine lifestyle. For one thing, the CREATOR GOD has said
that HIS Holy Seventh Day Sabbath is a “Sign” between HIM and the Children of
Israel.
“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.” Exodus 31:13,14
And this Seventh Day
Sabbath is a most important time throughout the year and has been used to
determine who would keep GOD’s Law or not (Exodus 16th Chapter). This
Holy Seventh Day of Complete REST tells the GOD of Israel quite a lot about
individuals, especially Israelites. In order to prove to the GOD of
Israel that we do indeed Fear HIM to be obedient to REST and leave our
computers, cell phones, travel, pleasures, and entertainment until the Sabbath
is over. For some of us that’s hard to do. But those of us who want
the total package that Our GOD is offering us of HIS Peace, Happiness, and
safety, we are resigned to seek HIS LAWS and observe to do them in
sincerity. Promoting GOD’s Ways are not found in the religions of the
heathen and in particular it is not found in the Christian dogma - the religion
of most Blacks the world over.
“I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation
will I praise thee. Ye that fear the LORD, praise him; all ye the seed of
Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel.” Psalm
22:22,23
If we are seriously
striving to return home, then we have to seriously do what’s necessary to get
there. Know that it is paramount to follow all GOD’s LAW, as it is
written, if we expect to be numbered among the Remnant destined to
return. Let us not be deceived.
“But they hearkened
not: and Manasseh seduced them to do more evil than did the nations whom the
LORD destroyed before the children of Israel. ” II Kings 21:9
Our CREATOR GOD sees
all for HE fills Heaven and Earth, and of great import for us to know is that
HE reads our hearts to see who truly thirsts after HIS Ways, and HE will not
forgive those who play games
with HIM.
“Wherefore the Lord
said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their
lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear
toward me is taught by the precept of men:” Isaiah 29:13
“The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them
that trust in him. ” Nahum 1:7
There is no question that Christianity would appear to be the way to go, but
belief in a man just has not proven what it is cracked up to be. And of a
truth, it has been our downfall. Because descendants of
Slaves choose to be like their captors, they want to live the so-called
“American Dream and worship the White man’s god. The “American Dream” and
the blond-blue-eyed JC have eluded them, and much more any thoughts about
equity.
The Christian
Theology to this day, after more than 2,000 years has not proven itself to be
of any Divine nature:
- Belief in JC has not saved anyone.
- Belief
in JC will not give anyone everlasting life.
- Going
to Heaven after death is strictly a false hope of man’s imagination.
-
Praying to JC and wearing his cross are nothing more than idol worship.
- JC
cannot be a descent of King David because of his so-called virgin birth.
- GOD
could not have sent JC to the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel because HE had
already scattered them throughout the world.
“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 that cannot save. ” Isaiah 45:20
“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 17:36 – 39
As we come into the knowledge of GOD’s Truth, we must come out of the customs
and religions of the heathen. They have served no purpose for anyone –
not for Gentiles and certainly not for Israelites. And as a matter of
fact, false worshippers and the evil and wicked are doomed; if not sooner, then
later. The people who fell in the forty day and forty night FLOOD, the
people of Sodom and Gomorrah, the Canaanites, and Israelites all prove that the
CREATOR punishes the wicked. All these groups have been removed from
their lands by way of utter destruction, exile, or enslavement, as has been the
case of GOD’s Chosen People, the Children of Israel. Hence, no good can
manifest from disobedience to the CREATOR. So, why seek to live like the
heathen who are permanently fixed on living evil lifestyles?
“And walked in the statutes of the heathen, whom the LORD cast out from before
the children of Israel, and of the kings of Israel, which they had made. And
the children of Israel did secretly those things that were not right against
the LORD their God, and they built them high places in all their cities, from
the tower of the watchmen to the fenced city. And they set them up images and
groves in every high hill, and under every green tree: And there they burnt
incense in all the high places, as did the heathen whom the LORD carried away
before them; and wrought wicked things to provoke the LORD to anger: For they
served idols, whereof the LORD had said unto them, Ye shall not do this thing.”
"And the LORD
rejected all the seed of Israel, and afflicted them, and delivered them into
the hand of spoilers, until he had cast them out of his sight. ” II
Kings 17:8 – 12,20
“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 104:35
SEEK TO KNOW THE CREATOR GOD AND HOPE IN HIM AND IN HIS SALVATION!
“Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation. He only is my
rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly
moved.” Psalm 62:1,2
“Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a
refuge for us. Selah. ” Psalm 62:8
“Neither will I make the feet of Israel move any more out of the land which I
gave their fathers; only if they will observe to do according to all that I
have commanded them, and according to all the law that my servant Moses
commanded them. ” II Kings 21:8
“For all the gods of the people are idols: but the LORD made the heavens.
"Let the heavens
be glad, and let the earth rejoice: and let men say among the nations, The LORD
reigneth.” I Chronicles 16:26,31
“Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be
none to deliver. Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth
his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God.” Psalm
50:22,23
We must give the GOD
of Abraham the opportunity to put HIS LAW in our hearts, so that we can learn
HIS Ways, and what all HE has Commanded us. And the only way we can do
that is to first stay out of the “New Testament” and abandon all other false
worship for they are all brainwashing to make us forget Our GOD of
Israel.
“I have not spoken in
secret, in a dark place of the earth: I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek
ye me in vain: I the LORD speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.
” Isaiah 45:19
“Behold, the LORD's
hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it
cannot hear:” Isaiah 59:1
When people seriously
seek the True and Living GOD and to know HIS Ways of Righteousness, the last
thing you want to do is follow peer pressure to serve idols.
“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. 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: ” Jeremiah 7:23 –
25
“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
“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...”
Jeremiah 13:10
Let us choose what we
know to be the CREATOR GOD and HIS WORD and seek to do all that made Noah and
Abraham delights in the eyes of their MAKER. In other words let us seek
to do what’s “lawful and right”. Knowing that a Remnant of Israel is to
be saved, speaks volumes. Therefore, let us strive to be counted
in that number for GOD’s Sake and for HIS PRAISE for as you know, we were
formed to cause the world to know HIM.
“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. 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.” Ezekiel 18:19 – 21
“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
“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
“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
“Thus saith the LORD of hosts; If it be marvellous in the eyes of the remnant
of this people in these days, should it also be marvellous in mine eyes? saith
the LORD of hosts. 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 Jerusalem: and they shall be my people, and I
will be their God, in truth and in righteousness. 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. For before these days
there was no hire for man, nor any hire for beast; neither was there any peace
to him that went out or came in because of the affliction: for I set all men
every one against his neighbour. But now I will not be unto the residue of this
people as in the former days, saith the LORD of hosts. For the seed shall be
prosperous; the vine shall give her fruit, and the ground shall give her
increase, and the heavens shall give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of
this people to possess all these things.” Zechariah 8:6 – 12
We must strive to serve and worship Our GOD with “ONE CONSENT” if we ever want
HIS Spirit in our hearts.
“And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I
will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of
flesh: That they may walk in my statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do
them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.” Ezekiel
11:19,20
“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.” Ezekiel
36:26,27
“For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call
upon the name of the LORD, to serve him with one consent. ”
Zephaniah 3:9
In the Wilderness GOD’s Servant Moses asked, “Who is on the LORD’s Side…”
He was really asking who will separate themselves from the evil of the idolatry
in their midst. Today, that question is more apparent than ever, and all
of us will have to address it and act accordingly.
“Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them. They
cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not
confounded.
"I was cast upon
thee from the womb: thou art my God from my mother's belly. ” Psalm
22:4,5,10
“Ye that fear the LORD, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and
fear him, all ye the seed of Israel.” Psalm 22:22,23
So, now, let’s “Come Out” of Babylon and Christianity and escape GOD’s Judgment
upon the wicked. And of greater import to us as a Nation, let’s renew
King Josiah’s Covenant to be OBEDIENT AND WALK AFTER THE LORD GOD OF ISRAEL.
“And the king stood by a pillar, and made a covenant before the LORD, to walk
after the LORD, and to keep his commandments and his testimonies and his
statutes with all their heart and all their soul, to perform the words of this
covenant that were written in this book. And all the people stood to the
covenant. ” II Kings 23:3
Let’s “Come Out” and be ONE and be strengthened in the knowledge of the GOD of
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
“In that day shall the branch of the LORD be beautiful and glorious, and the
fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for them that are escaped of
Israel. ”
Isaiah 4:2
"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.”
Isaiah 10:20
“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 that cannot save. ”
Isaiah 45:20
“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 I will not make a full end of
thee: but I will correct thee in measure, and will not leave thee altogether
unpunished. For thus saith the LORD, Thy bruise is incurable, and thy wound is
grievous.”
Jeremiah 30:11,12
“Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and deliver every man his soul: be not cut
off in her iniquity; for this is the time of the LORD's vengeance; he will
render unto her a recompence. ”
Jeremiah 51:6
“O taste and see that the LORD is good:
blessed is the man that trusteth in him.”

A PRAYER EXTENDED OUT OF KING SOLOMON’S PRAYER FOR
ISRAELITES WHO LIVE TODAY AND WHO ARE CAPTIVES IN GENTILE LANDS:
Dear Father of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, GOD and KING
of this Universe, and CREATOR of ALL things,
We need
your help – a spark to generate greater interest in YOU, your LAW, and a desire
to return. YOU cannot imagine the
Messianics that are on the Internet.
I’m
sure you look down at your People and wonder what’s wrong with them that they
just can’t worship YOU and come together under your LAW, especially after all
that has happened to us. I wonder, also,
Father. We know your Truth and how YOU
are so willing to give us your HELP, yet we still don’t care to be a League and
ONE People with YOU in harmony. Why,
Father? Is it your HAND that is keeping
us apart? And are you again separating
and calling for Israelites to “Come on the LORD’s Side”, as YOU did in the
Wilderness? If so, Father, make your intentions
known, so that those of us who really and truly FEAR YOU will stop playing
games and get serious under the umbrella of your LAW in Righteousness. It is too late for us to not be without a
PLAN that will bring us closer to YOU.
Guide us, Father, and show us your HAND.
As you know, from our wicked past, that always worked – not for long,
but even for just a short while, it might be helpful. Help us, Father, and make us ONE Stick in
your HAND!
***
This
world of Peoples and Nations have been deceived, and yes it is greatly because
of the sins, transgressions, and disobedience of your Chosen People, the
Children of
Now, it
has been well over 2,000 years since YOU scattered the Israelites and since YOU
left to return to your Place and leave us in the hands of our enemies.
Thus,
Father, YOU know how the heathens have been heartlessly ruling over us and
keeping us repressed and without any power and without self-determination. Your Covenant People, the Children of Israel,
are NOT SAVED – not the People and not the Land, which Europeans have usurped
as their own and control with much cruelty and not at all according to your
Book of the Law.
Father,
in the past, you have removed all peoples from your Land who have refused to
live according to your Ways of Righteousness, so why then do you allow these
Europeans to stay in your Land? Neither
do they Fear YOU to promote your Laws, Statutes and Judgments, but rather they
boast of their own laws that they call “Judaism”. And they even block your People who have
returned to you from the Land that YOU gave to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. We are Witnesses and the Canaanites are
Witnesses, as well that heathenish people and their heathenish ways will have
no place in your
Israelites
have returned to YOU, Father, not all, because YOU did say that only a Remnant
will return. However, some of us fall
asleep calling upon your Holy Name and praying daily and nightly for your
compassion that YOU show your Mighty HAND for us, just as YOU did for our
forefathers down in Egypt. If for but
ten Israelites who seek YOU in Truth, Father of Abraham, return to us, help us,
and let us live to show forth your PRAISE and spread your Righteous LAW. Return to us, Father, because we have
returned to YOU. We are the “Dry Bones”
YOU have awakened to life – your LAWS of Truth and Righteousness.
Hear
us, Father,
The
world mourns, and it is not at rest.
Everything evil and everything wicked are destroying your planet
Earth: sickness, war, violence, deaths
and murder, a plethora of man-made religions, corruption, and all manner of
wickedness rule. Father, we live in days
100 times worse than the days of Sodom and Gomorrah, and that speaks volumes,
for YOU know all that takes place in the open and done in secret. Iniquity rules, Father, because the Peoples
and Nations of today do not know YOU to FEAR YOU – not even your Covenant
People, the SEED of Jacob, for as YOU know too many Israelites yet worship
other gods, even the gods of the heathen.
YOU
said that because of the sins of the Children of
Hear
ME, My GOD and My SAVIOR of
How
will people know to seek YOU, Father, if YOU do not remove the veil from off
hidden Truths? How can people find YOU,
if YOU keep your Ways of Righteousness hidden, and YOU allow false worship to
rule instead of your Truth? How can
people’s eyes be opened, if YOU do not cause them to realize that their ways
are really the ways of chaos and assured death?
How can people be saved, if evil, powerful rulers perpetuate their world
orders that sustain confusion, division, isolation, turmoil, and mayhem, even
with involvement of their religions? How
can
Therefore,
RETURN, Father, Most High GOD of this Universe, RETURN to your PLACE and
re-establish your Covenant People for your Great Name’s Sake, and for your
PRAISE and GLORY, make haste. Reveal to
the world that YOU ALONE are the ONE true and Living GOD, and that there is
none else, for indeed, YOU speak of none other for YOU have said that YOU are a
“JEALOUS GOD”.

haste, Father, and remember your PROMISES to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob to cause
their SEED to inherit the

they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be

Heavenly GOD of
Be with
us, Father, in the coming months, for some of us are preparing a PLAN to go in
the midst of the rulers of this world to seek our FREEDOM out of this captivity. It is our prayer that YOU will be with us,
LORD GOD of Jacob, just as YOU were with our forebears when YOU made yourself
known to the Egyptians, so that they would let
Show us
and the world, Heavenly Father, that your Heart is turned toward your People,
Israel, AGAIN and that YOU will again cause our captors to know that our lives
and theirs, as well are in your HANDS and that YOU still live for your Covenant
People, the SEED of the Biblical Israelites to save us out of their captivity.
Show
your People, Israel, that YOU are indeed in accord with this Plan, and that YOU
will surely save us out of this captivity and AGAIN make a GREAT and AWESOME
NAME for yourself, so that all mankind will know to FEAR YOU AND KEEP YOUR WAYS
OF RIGHTEOUSNESS!
For a
long time, Father, YOU have been an unknown and without PRAISE and GLORY, but
now, that can all be changed. Now, GOD
of Abraham, be EXALTED and be MAGNIFIED, and soon, after we come out of the
Wilderness, let the Nation of Israel get the attention of the world with
trumpets as we boast of your GREATNESS and your Ways of RIGHTEOUSNESS from your
Holy City Jerusalem.
Let it
happen, O Shepherd of
“…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.”
Yes,
Father, your Holy Name is ours, too, for we are named by YOU. Save us, O GOD of our SALVATION, and show the
world once again that the GOD of Israel yet lives and is taking back HIS
Universe, HIS Land, and HIS Holy City, Jerusalem, and that YOU will be Exalted
above all gods upon this Earth.
Make
haste, Father of Abraham, and let it happen – make it happen now for your Holy
Name’s Sake and for your Righteousness’ Sake!

THE SOAPBOX THAT SPEAKS:
EVERYBODY’S TALKING!
Have you been listening to the news, the talk shows,
the politicians and even your friends and family? People know something is not right with the
US but can’t quite put their finger on it.
Recently I was standing in the customer service line
returning something for my Mom, and the woman in front of me, after seeing a
young man walking funny and with his pants cutting across his butt, started up
a conversation with me. We talked about
young Black men who had no direction, and we talked about the fact that too
many Blacks were unemployed. That
prompted our conversation to lead into President Obama and all his promises for
change. No point in going there, as
everybody’s talking about that.
Nevertheless, one of the things the lady did say was,
“This is the time of the end.” With talk
like that, I looked to see if she had on any fringe, thinking she might be one
of the awakened “Dry Bones”. There were
none. I ended the conversation sharing
with her that I believed in the GOD of Israel, and that I am a Hebrew
Israelite. If she had any knowledge of
Blacks being Israelites, she made no mention of it.
This past week has been pretty sensational for the US
to talk about. Hey, dealing with two
Earthquakes and a deadly East coast hurricane ain’t nothing to sneeze at. I even read about a Texas lake turning “blood
red” (See FYI). Granted, the devastation
previously predicted never manifest.
Actually, that was a picnic in comparison to what’s to come upon this
land. For those who know nothing about
GOD’s WORD, I am making reference to GOD’s obvious JUDGMENT upon the United
States and the rest of the world.
Is Our GOD of Israel causing plagues to come upon this
Gentile country? Hmmm. If there are plagues of flies, lice,
darkness, and any combination of thunder, hail, and fire, then you can bet the
firstborns better take notice. We all
know the finale of the Exodus out of Egypt, right?

MARK?
WHAT MARK?
Does your forehead bear GOD’s Mark? If it
doesn’t, then you might have good reason to worry. If history repeats itself, then we will want
GOD’s Mark in our foreheads because this Mark speaks volumes and could save
your life. It pays to read our Hebrew Scriptures!

THE SMOKESCREEN
We can assume the Universe was established by a “Big Bang,” or we can seek a more intelligent theory.
The more intelligent reasoning is that a Supreme Being did in fact Create the Heavens, Earth, and all things therein. Then the issue becomes, “Did this Supreme Being intend for HIS CREATION to exist in such a chaotic state of absolute Hell, as it is now?” If not, then it is incumbent upon us to seek answers for the present horrific state of affairs in the Land of Israel and the rest of the Middle East that is capable of spreading to other countries even to the United States.
It is not likely that this Supreme Being did not advise the people of HIS Creation IN THE BEGINNING of how to live in goodness and in peace with each other, which certainly entailed how to worship HIM for giving them life. For there not to exist harmony and happiness on this Earth, it is evident that from the looks of things and from the ever-present catastrophic events taking place on Earth, this Supreme Being is furious with the peoples HE Created.
This is where we are now. The CREATOR is Judging the peoples of HIS Creation and is taking back HIS Universe.
History proves that Jerusalem is the Holy City of the GOD of Israel, that the Israelites are HIS Chosen, Covenant People, and that the Land of Israel belongs to HIM, as well. So, why all the attention given to this area of the world that is proving to be the catalyst leading to the end of this present world system?
The Palestinians have been in the land since the reign of King Saul, and the European Israelis have been a State since 1948, opening their doors to other converted Europeans and whomsoever else wishing to take part in this Talmudic process and live off the fat of GOD’s Holy Land. The Palestinians and the Israelis have been at war ever since. If these two groups can live together anywhere in the world except in Israel, then there must be a very good reason why. However, the reason is not one that Israelis desire to make public. Israeli hatred of the Arabs is not at all the issue. There exists a more profound reason than that. Finger pointing at the Arabs is but the ubiquitous smokescreen presented to the world.
THE TRUTH ABOUT CONVERSION TO SO-CALLED “JUDAISM”
The world should connect the dots and learn the truth regarding the Europeans who control GOD’s Holy Land. There is no way the GOD of Israel will accept a conversion process that changes Europeans, Americans, and Middle Easterners into “Jews.” GOD’s Covenant is with Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and their SEED. Accordingly, how can we dismiss the fact that Abraham was called out of Ur of the Chaldeans – NOT out of Europe. GOD well knows HIS Chosen People, no matter that HE took their identity from them and cast them from HIS Land.
And their being scattered into the “Four Corners of the Earth” to serve their enemies has everything to do with the problems in the Middle East, as this crisis relates to the CREATOR GOD taking back HIS Universe, HIS Holy Land, HIS Holy City, and HIS Chosen People. The Israelis know this. They see the handwriting on the wall, but they are fighting the CREATOR GOD tooth and nail. That’s what this war is all about - Israeli control - to keep out the SEED of Jacob whom GOD is calling home. Hence, the Israelis, even if time permitted, would not give the Palestinians their State for fear the Israelites would seek to live there also. And just for the record, one can learn about the true identity of the descendants of Jacob by reading what the CREATOR GOD of Israel said would befall them in Leviticus 26th and Deuteronomy 28th Chapters.
The Israelis have a rabid requirement to control all the Land of Israel including the Palestinian territories for one reason and for one reason only, which has everything to do with their “Law of Return.” The Israelis and their Rabbinute (their religious party) are ever aware that the CREATOR GOD of Israel has a Covenant People – The Twelve Tribes of Jacob, and they know that according to Biblical Prophecy the CREATOR GOD of the Land of Israel and this Universe will restore HIS Chosen People to their heritage. For obvious reasons, in no way do the Israelis (European converts to what’s called “Judaism,” which is of their own making) want this to happen, for then they will no longer have control of the Land of Israel at all. However, they know their days are numbered.
“Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I have lifted up mine hand, Surely the heathen that are about you, they shall bear their shame. But ye, O mountains of Israel, ye shall shoot forth your branches, and yield your fruit to my people of Israel; for they are at hand to come. For, behold, I am for you, and I will turn unto you, and ye shall be tilled and sown: And I will multiply men upon you, all the house of Israel, even all of it: and the cities shall be inhabited, and the wastes shall be builded:”
Ezekiel 36:7 – 10
Now, the Truth is out. This is the reason for the decades of turmoil, death, and destruction over GOD’s Holy Land. And of a Truth, the Israeli powers-that-be have no qualms about their dilemma. They are prepared to fight to the end, but who are they really fighting? It all has to do with what prophecy foretells, and what must be fulfilled.
Conversely, Israelis are putting too much false hope in their military powers. When it comes to the Children of Israel, the CREATOR GOD fights their battles, and since it is time for their return, there is nothing Israeli’ weaponry can do to stop GOD’s Commandment from manifesting.
The Israelites were formed to show forth GOD’s Praise and to be a light to the world for HIS Ways of Righteousness – HIS Book of the Law (the teachings of the Prophet Moses – NOT the Talmud compiled by European “Jews”).
“Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein: I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;”
Isaiah 42:5,6
“This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise.” Isaiah 43:21
And it is for this reason the Supreme Being, or rather the CREATOR GOD of Israel is taking back HIS magnificent Universe and making it a place of Divine Peace, one that Exalts and Magnifies HIM for all HIS Wondrous Works.
The CREATOR GOD has held HIS Peace for a very long time, all because of the curses HE put on HIS Chosen People for forsaking HIM for false gods and for rejecting HIS LAW. Their rebellion caused GOD to cast HIS People into the hands of the heathen, and HE went into seclusion permitting Gentiles to run the world and teach HIS People a lesson that would send them running back to HIM seeking forgiveness with contrite spirits.
“I have long time holden my peace; I have been still, and refrained myself: now will I cry like a travailing woman; I will destroy and devour at once.” Isaiah 42:14
For a long time people believed that the European “Jews” were really the people of the Bible, but the CREATOR knows HIS Chosen People, the SEED of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the men with whom HE made an Everlasting Covenant (Genesis 17:1 – 21).
From the Slave Trade to world hatred, and enduring racism and discrimination all over the world, Blacks have suffered at the hands of those who ruled over them. But now, the CREATOR GOD of Israel is awakening the Dry Bones and calling HIS People home to the chagrin and utter dismay of European Israelis who are helpless to do anything about it but who still have plans to thwart the WORD of GOD. Trust me, their efforts will not end in victory, and nothing since 1948 has even given them hope that they could take the place of the SEED of Jacob/Israel (Genesis 32:28) – neither by conversion nor submersion.
Thus, the reasons for the war for Israeli control of GOD’s Land and the reasons for a world of troubled times, disasters, endless suffering, despair, and many, many tears.
The CREATOR is taking back HIS Universe and keeping HIS Everlasting Promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the Patriarchs of the Nation of Israel.
“And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again stay upon him that smote them; but shall stay upon the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth. The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God. For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return: the consumption decreed shall overflow with righteousness.” Isaiah 10:20 - 22
“And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.” Isaiah 11:11
“And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.” Ezekiel 36:27
“For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain.” Isaiah 66:22
“Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will bring again the captivity of Jacob's tents, and have mercy on his dwellingplaces; and the city shall be builded upon her own heap, and the palace shall remain after the manner thereof. And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small. Their children also shall be as aforetime, and their congregation shall be established before me, and I will punish all that oppress them. And their nobles shall be of themselves, and their governor shall proceed from the midst of them; and I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach unto me: for who is this that engaged his heart to approach unto me? saith the LORD.”
Jeremiah 30:18 – 21
“At the same time, saith the LORD, will I be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be my people. Thus saith the LORD, The people which were left of the sword found grace in the wilderness; even Israel, when I went to cause him to rest. The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with loving kindness have I drawn thee. Again I will build thee, and thou shalt be built, O virgin of Israel: thou shalt again be adorned with thy tabrets, and shalt go forth in the dances of them that make merry. 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?”

[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.)

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 SPECIAL REPORT ON THE “KOY”
TAKE DILIGENT HEED…
“…take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law,
which Moses the servant of the LORD charged you, to love the LORD your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments,
and to cleave unto him,
and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul.”
Joshua 22:5
June 19, 2006
What exactly does the GOD of Israel mean when HE Commands us to take diligent heed to do HIS Commandments and HIS LAW?
IN THAT…
“I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.” Deuteronomy 30:19,20
AND…
“And he said unto them, Set your hearts unto all the words which I testify among you this day, which ye shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of this law. For it is not a vain thing for you; because it is your life: and through this thing ye shall prolong your days in the land, whither ye go over Jordan to possess it.” Deuteronomy 32:46,47
I would think that to take diligent heed means to be extremely cautious to keep GOD’s LAW, read and study it, DO IT, and pray to the GOD of Israel for wisdom to understand it. And in addition to that common sense would be to either join with others so determined or be alone in returning back to the Holy ONE and what’s required of the SEED of Jacob.
This might seem ever so trivial a detail to some, but it means a world to the GOD of Israel. You see, I used to belong to Ben Ammi’s group, and I left for many reasons, but mainly because he was allowing people to call him JC and “Saviour” and because he was not concerned about GOD’s LAW and much less about taking heed to live and do it.
What truly, truly disturbs me is that there are people encouraging Israelites to join up with Ben Ammi and accept his title – “Messianic Leader,” as well as the blasphemous notion that the True and Living GOD would have such a congregation to represent HIM. Yes, of course the so-called “KOY” exists, but it does not represent the GOD of Israel and HIS LAW, i.e., HIS Ways of Righteousness that HE Commanded of the Prophet Moses to teach to the Nation of Israel. This group does not in any way signify the Kingdom of YAH, and indeed it cannot in any way portray GOD’s Righteous Kingdom.
The “KOY” is a congregation of people calling themselves Israelites and living according to the Laws of Ben Ammi and the imaginations of his contrary and devious heart. The wise in the knowledge of Truth know that Ben Ammi’s camp, built on corruption, crime, lust, adultery, and death, cannot in any way be connected with the Holy ONE of Israel’s Divine and Righteous Kingdom or cannot be established to receive the Remnant GOD said would return.
“The anger of the LORD shall not return, until he have executed, and till he have performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it perfectly. I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied. But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.” Jeremiah 23:20 – 22
“My people hath been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray, they have turned them away on the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten their restingplace.” Jeremiah 50:6
Moreover, King David’s Seed will head the CREATOR GOD’s Righteous Kingdom that will exist upon this Earth, and he will know to be the perfect role model for living GOD’s LAW in Righteousness.
I have never read where Kings David and Solomon called themselves “Messiah.”
“And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD; And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears: But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked. And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins.” Isaiah 11:1 – 5
“And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.” Isaiah 11:10
And this Righteous Kingdom will be all about serving, worshipping, and PRAISING the GOD of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and about representing HIM and spreading HIS Laws, Statutes, and Judgments throughout this world, in order that the CREATOR GOD of Israel will be Magnified and will receive all the Praise and all the Glory, so that people will abandon the “New Testament” and its theology. Have no doubts about it, the son of David will rule from Jerusalem and the GOD of Heaven and Earth will rule over all (Psalm 103:19).
I find nothing in GOD’s WORD to support an existence of HIS Kingdom in Israel under the control of Gentile Jews. Ben Ammi has deceived hundreds into believing this lie that he is the Messianic leader of GOD’s Kingdom. How long are we going to follow leaders who use GOD’s Holy Name in vain?!
Taking heed to keep GOD’s LAW would entail staying as far from Ben Ammi as possible. And the fact that HE keeps his stores open on GOD’s Holy Day of Complete REST is a darn good red flag and eye-opener that shouts to stay away from this leader, as of a Truth, he does not FEAR the GOD of Israel to do HIS Will. And what better information exists from Our GOD to prove Ben Ammi to be one who defies the All-Mighty GOD!
“To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.” Isaiah 8:20
This passage is the best gauge Israelites have for determining and for understanding who to accept as a genuine leader or know who FEARS the Holy ONE of Israel. If Ben Ammi and the people of his camp defy the Most High GOD of Israel, then why join with them, and why take part in their beliefs unfounded in GOD’s LAW and in their disobedience?
“Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.” Psalm 1:1,2
“I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked.” Psalm 26:5
“If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:” Psalm 66:18
“Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practise wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties.” Psalm 141:4
“Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the LORD hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me. The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider. Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.” Isaiah 1:2 - 4
Another perfect incident that serves to explain why we cannot join with people who break GOD’s LAW concerns Jehoshaphat and Ahziah. And does it ever speak VOLUMES!
“And after this did Jehoshaphat king of Judah join himself with Ahaziah king of Israel, who did very wickedly: And he joined himself with him to make ships to go to Tarshish: and they made the ships in Eziongaber. Then Eliezer the son of Dodavah of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, Because thou hast joined thyself with Ahaziah, the LORD hath broken thy works. And the ships were broken, that they were not able to go to Tarshish.” II Chronicles 20:35 – 37
Let’s not pretend we don’t know about our past and how our stiffnecked and rebellious forebears loved to be connected with evildoers and how they encouraged the lawful to follow wickedness. At least admit to what THUS SAITH THE LORD!
At this late day and in the time of Jacob’s Trouble, why would we even consider joining with Ben Ammi or with anyone or with any congregation that does not make GOD’s LAW the Paths of Righteousness to follow and walk? Our GOD of Israel promises us that if we return to HIM and HIS LAW, that then we can return to our heritage (Deuteronomy 30:1-4). If people will join with Ben Ammi, then for them GOD’s Promise is made void.
“And ye shall know that I am the LORD: for ye have not walked in my statutes, neither executed my judgments, but have done after the manners of the heathen that are round about you.” Ezekiel 11:12
“Why criest thou for thine affliction? thy sorrow is incurable for the multitude of thine iniquity: because thy sins were increased, I have done these things unto thee.” Jeremiah 30:15
“And hast given them this land, which thou didst swear to their fathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey; And they came in, and possessed it; but they obeyed not thy voice, neither walked in thy law; they have done nothing of all that thou commandedst them to do: therefore thou hast caused all this evil to come upon them:” Jeremiah 32:22,23
What a crime! Ben Ammi was among the blessed to return, but just like his rebellious forefathers, he, too, refuses to be obedient to the LAWS of the GOD of Israel.
The WORD of the GOD of Israel also condemns Ben Ammi for calling himself a “Messianic Leader” in order to gather Israelites and Christians into his fold. But in no way does he emulate the “Old Testament” men of GOD!
Was Moses, Joshua, Samuel, the kings of Israel, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, or any of the other Prophets who promoted GOD’s Book of the Law and who spoke “THUS SAITH THE LORD” called a Messiah? Do we need this? Is this something required of us to have before us?
I listened to a Brother in Paltalk Chat go to extremes to contrive a justifiable explanation for Ben Ammi calling himself a Messiah. The Truth of the matter is that this word is not even connected with Hebrew-Israelite Culture. “Jews” and Christians and the Book of Daniel and the “New Testament” are very much associated with the word “Messiah,” but not the Israelites who wandered forty years in the Wilderness and inhabited the Land of Israel. And if Moses was NOT given this C.E. terminology to introduce to the Children of Israel, then there is no reason for us to know about it at all. There isn’t even ANY information in this Book of Daniel or in the “New Testament” that is essential for Israelites to know and do – none at all. All that the GOD of Israel required of us to know and do was given to HIS Servant Moses and is reiterated in the books of HIS Prophets who utter “THUS SAITH THE LORD.” There is no “THUS SIAITH THE LORD” in the Book of Daniel or in the “New Testament.” Both of these books were written AFTER GOD scattered HIS Chosen People, Israel, from the land. That being the case, this literature is suspect, and proof of this is the fact that the Israelites were scattered to live in “Darkness” and to serve their enemies. So, why would the Holy ONE give them any information about seventy weeks or seventy years or seventy anything?
And even if this information is for a time after the Israelites return, the information still makes no sense. “And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week…” (Daniel 9:27). This verse contradicts what “THUS SAITH THE LORD” about HIS Covenant in Jeremiah 31:31 – 34 and in Ezekiel 20:37. And not one of GOD’s Prophets makes mention of this event in the Book of Daniel.
Just for the record, “THUS SAITH THE LORD” is mentioned more than 400 times in the “Old Testament” but not even once in the Book of Daniel or in the “New Testament.” That’s no mistake. That’s for us to think logically and connect the dots! Therefore, when we do the research concerning the year the Book of Daniel was probably written, we will see that this Book of Daniel and the “New Testament” were written to deceive Israelites, and, thus, we have no reason to accept the information in either of these books as being GOD’s WORD.
GOD’s Covenants – HIS LAW and HIS Promises, as well as the “New Covenant” spoken of in Jeremiah 31:31-34 - will resume upon our return to our heritage. And there is no other WORD of GOD to have us believe that any one of these Covenants will be one week. Actually, when you consider what’s written in Daniel 9:27, none of this chapter makes any sense whatsoever.
“He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations. Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac; And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant:” Psalm 105:8 – 10
“Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he heard their cry: And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his mercies.” Psalm 106:44,45
The Holy ONE of Israel has not only remembered HIS Covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, but HE has opened our eyes to the fact that WE ARE HIS PEOPLE, but unfortunately, too many of us do not choose to do that which is necessary to stay in HIS good graces.
Another serious issue is that certain people credit Ben Ammi with moving Israelites to Liberia and then on to Israel. The GOD of Israel did not say that Ben Ammi would deliver HIS People. HE said that HE would, and when HE does, for sure HE wants all the GLORY, every whit! HE got all the GLORY in the Israelite Deliverance out of Egypt, and HE, unequivocally, will be Exalted AGAIN upon the return of the Remnant of Israel that GOD promises HE WILL GATHER. To suggest or even think for a moment that Ben Ammi deserves recognition for that which is due to the Holy ONE of Israel leads me to believe that some of us, being Israelites, have truly lost sight of what’s important to know and understand. It would appear that the Holy ONE is again proving Israelites to determine who will and who will not enter into HIS Glorious Kingdom.
And just because people think Ben Ammi to be prosperous and have more than other congregations is no reason to boast about the advancements he has made. When I hear this, I am constantly reminded of the “green bay tree” in Psalms.
“Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.” Psalm 37:1 – 3
“I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree. Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found. Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace.” Psalm 37:35 - 37
“They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches; None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him:” Psalm 49:6,7
“Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.” Psalm 127:1
It would appear that people don’t yet get the full understanding of the above verse that is loaded with Truth, conviction, and certainty. Time proves everything! The Flood of Noah’s Day and the scattering of the Nation of Israel into the Four Corners of the Earth are proven facts that the CREATOR GOD of Israel does not tolerate people taking HIS Name in vain, disobedience of HIS LAW, and the worship of false gods and even of man.
Ben Ammi is not “perfect.” He, himself, said in 1996 that he is doing 60%. Thus, he isn’t even close to being “the perfect man.” He is failing and falling fast! His works and teachings speak volumes. We have history to probe for what “THUS SAITH THE LORD” and for what required of us. AND we have read what has happened to Israelites who stray from GOD’s LAW in order to establish their own direction. We have book after book in the “Old Testament” that gives us all the information we need concerning rebellious Israelites. We know what the GOD of Israel did to them, and we know that HE has not changed HIS Ordinances one iota, and that HE will NEVER change them. Hence, knowing all this, and knowing what the GOD of Moses has said about HIS LAW and the consequences for not keeping it (in Deuteronomy 28th Chapter), knowing that HE will MAGNIFY HIS LAW and put it in our hearts, knowing that we were scattered for not observing this Divine LAW, would Our GOD of Israel send such a leader as Ben Ammi who has no regard for HIS LAW but rather for magnifying himself and a bogus “KOY”? Perfect men of GOD do not grandstand and promote adverse teachings. They vehemently stress doing the WORD of the GOD of Israel and with “ONE” mindset.
Without question, “the perfect man” FEARS the GOD of Israel to live and do HIS Book of the Law. It is accepting GOD’s Righteousness and to live by it that is our ticket into the CREATOR GOD of Israel’s Peaceful Kingdom. It is not Ben Ammi’s veggie and no-salt diets. Ben Ammi is not concerned about GOD’s LAW, and neither is the GOD of Israel in his thoughts. This “KOY” in Dimona is really nothing more than the Kingdom of Ben Ammi, and he is no more the “Saviour” that he is called than is the jc of the “New Testament.” Ben Ammi and the other leaders in his Camp know exactly how to run their game, and those who they beguile either know nothing of the GOD of Israel and HIS LAW, or they have chosen to forget the GOD of Israel and HIS LAW and listen to and believe in a man whose foundation is built on lies, corruption, and death. Therefore, I caution everyone to be very cautious of what is believed, and the reason is that if we CHOOSE to believe in wickedness, then GOD will help to encourage that false belief.
“Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not hearkened unto my words, nor to my law, but rejected it.”
Jeremiah 6:19
“Because Ephraim hath made many altars to sin, altars shall be unto him to sin.” Hosea 8:11
What wills Israelites to turn from the WORD of GOD? What force is there that can make GOD’s Chosen People defy HIM? Never mind. I don’t think I want to know. In any case, those who join with Ben Ammi should know that you give up your assets and you are expected to conform to the expectations of the Camp, and you will adhere to WILL adhere to their ways or be punished by beatings and losing your flamboyant “title.” What a scam, the best since the advent of Christianity. However, only the Holy ONE will prove them a fraud and with the Righteous Remnant HE is calling – HIS Chosen Ones who have determined to serve and worship ONLY HIM.
“And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.” Joel 2:32
“For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth. The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.” Psalm 10:3,4
“My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad. O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.” Psalm 34:2,3
“In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ever. Selah.” Psalm 44:8
Is this a time for us to boast? Ben Ammi is subject to the will of Gentile Jews. Why is he boasting, and why are others boasting for him? Is this not a time to turn to the Most High GOD of Israel and boast of HIM and seek HIM for understanding IN HIS LAW and in HIS WORD to HIS Prophets? Should we not thirst and hunger for GOD’s Truth?
“All the commandments which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers. And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no. And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.” Deuteronomy 8:3
Ezekiel speaks about the Holy ONE of Israel gathering us and taking us into a SECOND WILDERNESS. If Ben Ammi, or anyone for that matter, does not observe GOD’s Holy Seventh Day of Complete REST, as it is written, will he not be purged, as the GOD of Israel has said? Can it really be that the CREATOR GOD of the Heavens and the Earth will allow Ben Ammi and his Camp to fast on HIS Holy Day and have his restaurants open defying HIS Commandment? Come on, People! Who is fooling whom?
“And I will bring you out from the people, and will gather you out of the countries wherein ye are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out. And I will bring you into the wilderness of the people, and there will I plead with you face to face. Like as I pleaded with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I plead with you, saith the Lord GOD. And I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant: And I will purge out from among you the rebels, and them that transgress against me: I will bring them forth out of the country where they sojourn, and they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.” Ezekiel 20:34 – 38
Ironically, from this passage, Ben Ammi will not enter into the very Kingdom he boasts.
“And he spake unto the congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of their's, lest ye be consumed in all their sins.” Numbers 16:26
“I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked.” Psalm 26:5
Surely, we know about Israelites who speak of the Holy ONE of Israel with their lips but have hearts far from HIM. This is the case with all Israel who acknowledge the Holy ONE of Israel but DO NOT live by HIS Book of the Law, as it is written.
“Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody men.” Isaiah 59:2
Some of us might think it is all right to join with congregations that defy GOD’s LAW, but this is wholly against doing what Thus Saith the LORD. The Holy ONE of Israel is not impressed with the direction some of us have taken. First of all, we do not need leaders. Our Merciful GOD has brought us out of darkness in revealing to us our true identity and has made us know that we are more than just descendants of Slaves. HE did this because of HIS Promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and because we are HIS Chosen People. Wake up, Israel! We need Our GOD, the Holy ONE of Israel. We can call upon HIM for direction, wisdom, and understanding. That’s why HE is Our GOD. HE does not tell us to call upon HIM for naught. HE did not say trust not in a friend for naught. HE did not say that those who follow after evil leaders will be destroyed for naught (Isaiah 9:16). Our GOD has always wanted to be the center of our lives and of our world. And if we are obedient and will devote our lives to HIM, HE will be our LEADER, and for choosing HIM, we will not thirst or want for any good thing. And at the designated time, HE promises to send us HIS Pastors. But until then, trust in ONLY Our GOD of Israel and see HIS miraculous WORKS for those HE loves!
People have come forward with information on Ben Ammi, and the Brother promoting the so-called “Keys to the Kingdom” is aware of this. I have also posted information on Ben Ammi and his camp to the LawKeepers Forum. And if people will still join with him, after learning about this useless kingdom, then they certainly have no one but themselves to blame for whatever might befall them. More importantly, those who will read this Message and will still seek to join and be associated with the Ben Ammi Camp can’t say they didn’t know and certainly won’t be able to plead ignorance. They can’t say their leaders are at fault. They can’t say they believed in a Brother whom they thought knew what he was talking about with some “Keys to the Kingdom.” And the reason they cannot feign all these excuses is because all GOD’s warnings and counsel are written in HIS LAW and in HIS WORD to HIS Prophets. “TAKE DILIGENT HEED…” Also, HE provides knowledge to those who earnestly seek it. The Holy ONE of Israel is a Most Merciful GOD and SAVIOR and has covered ALL bases, and HE has left out nothing of significance for us to know and do. Our GOD of Israel has even left us with HIS WORD and good reason why we should not trust in man.
“Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help. His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish. Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God: Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever:” Psalm 146:3 - 6
“Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom.” Micah 7:5
I feel like this: If I am going to fall by the wayside, it will not be because of following some stiffnecked, grandstanding, rebellious Israelite leaders. In that respect, I have learned what not to do very well and mainly from watching lawless Israelites in Ben Ammi’s Camp and listening to him speak the imaginations of his heart.
The Dry Bones have a chance to live and serve and worship the Holy ONE of Israel, but only if we will return to HIM (not to Ben Ammi) to FEAR ONLY HIM and be obedient to the Ways of the CREATOR GOD of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. It has been more than 2,500 years since we lost our heritage. And the only way we will return to it is by looking to our SAVIOR, Our ONLY HELP.
With Ben Ammi there is an arm of flesh; but with us is the LORD Our GOD to help us if we will only let HIM. But we must take diligent heed to follow HIS Paths of Righteousness. May Our Holy ONE of Israel bless the man courageous enough to speak HIS Truth and stand up for HIS LAW, the ONLY True Path of Righteousness.
“Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy; To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine. Our soul waiteth for the LORD: he is our help and our shield. For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.” Psalm 33:18 – 21
“Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man. Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.” Psalm 60:11,12
“Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.” Psalm 124:8
Wake up, Israel. It is a fact that Ben Ammi does not live by GOD’s LAW. This we know! And since he doesn’t, the so-called KOY, under the leadership of Ben Ammi is just another Messianic congregation in deep trouble with the GOD of Israel. As for me, I shall serve the Most High GOD of Israel and strive to be perfect in HIS LAW. And all those who FEAR the GOD of Israel will do likewise. Going home in no way entails joining Ben Ammi’s congregation, and if this is what you believe, then you are greatly deceived.
“In those days, and in that time, saith the LORD, the children of Israel shall come, they and the children of Judah together, going and weeping: they shall go, and seek the LORD their God.” Jeremiah 50:4
“O thou that art named the house of Jacob, is the spirit of the LORD straitened? are these his doings? do not my words do good to him that walketh uprightly?”
Micah 2:7
“And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and HE WILL TEACH US OF HIS WAYS, and we will walk in his paths: for THE LAW SHALL GO FORTH OF ZION, AND THE WORD OF THE LORD FROM JERUSALEM.” Micah 4:2 (Caps. are mine.)
WAKE UP, ISRAEL! Our GOD is calling us, and HE is being very selective. HE is only taking Israelites who will vow themselves to HIM and to HIS LAW. For that reason, there will only be a “Remnant” to make it to GOD’s Kingdom – only a Remnant.
“But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him. Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah. Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.” Psalm 4:3 - 5
So, be aware, and TAKE DILIGENT HEED. This is our last shot to be returned to our heritage.
“The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him. But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die. All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live. Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord GOD: and not that he should return from his ways, and live? But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die.” Ezekiel 18:20 - 24
Thus, it is most critical that GOD FEARING Israelites discern right from wrong and denounce defiance and disobedience to GOD’s LAW.
“But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children; To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.” Psalm 103:17,18
And at the same time we must embrace wisdom and knowledge and abide by it. Don’t waste precious time on a NOTORIOUS leader who has no respect for the “SIGN” of GOD’s Holy Seventh Day Sabbath of REST that binds us with Our GOD of Israel. The last thing Israelites who seek the GOD of Israel need is to hear a philosophy inconsistent with that of GOD’s Book of the Law.
What a shame to have people’s stomachs growling from their hunger pains and incessantly thinking of what they will eat when the Sabbath is ended, rather than thinking about the Mercies of the SAVIOR GOD of Israel and giving Glory to HIM for giving us a Blessed Day of REST. How do I know all this? I’ve been there and done that! What a shame to have people not enjoying food on GOD’s Seventh Day Sabbath and their giving in to blessed slumber and rest on full stomachs. WHAT A SHAME! Ben Ammi forgets that this Seventh Day is the CREATOR’s Anniversary, and it is HE that has COMMANDED, how HE wants it observed. To his hurt, Ben Ammi does not see it that way.
Those who decline from GOD’s Ways of Righteousness can expect to literally go mad and die. This is GOD’s WORD – not mine! Ben Ammi initially taught GOD’s LAW and as far as I knew abided by it. Actually, this was the reason I joined “Abeta Israel,” the Israelite congregation in which he was a member. But he allowed a former Christian preacher who joined his group to entice him to be the “Messiah” and “Saviour” of the Nation of Israel. By the way, his congregation does for sure call him “Lord and Saviour.” I have heard a woman make reference to him as being that, and Asiel, the so-called “KOY” Ambassador confirms that Ben Ammi saved him. He made this statement in the Paltalk Chat a few months ago. For this reason, Ben Ammi has gone, not just mad but, stark raving mad. I feel it is important to inform you that the woman (Rachel) who called Ben Ammi “Lord and Saviour” is now deceased. And just for the record, the man who is supposed to have “anointed” Ben Ammi is dead and has been dead for a long time, now.
ISRAEL DOES NOT KNOW!
“The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat from God.” Psalm 104:21
Why can’t we just seek Our GOD of Israel and be obedient to what HE requires of us? After all, HIS Book of the Law and HIS WORD to HIS Prophets are our Bread of Life.
“Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the LORD that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself; That frustrateth the tokens of the liars, and maketh diviners mad; that turneth wise men backward, and maketh their knowledge foolish;” Isaiah 44:24,25
King David Feared and loved the GOD of Israel with all his heart and soul, and we have him as evidence that we, also, can indeed be people after GOD’s own heart. Notice his Psalm 101:
“I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O LORD, will I sing. I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart. I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me. A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person. Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer. Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve me. He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight. I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut off all wicked doers from the city of the LORD.”
I question the motives of those who promote Ben Ammi’s so-called “KOY” and disseminate information leading people to believe that he is a Messiah. Ben Ammi’s works judge him to be nothing more than a Lawbreaker who is steadfastly working against the WORD of the GOD of Israel, and who is relentlessly expounding on his books, his diets, his authority, his being a Messiah, and his “Kingdom of Ben Ammi.”
Wake up, Israel, and take diligent heed to the LAW and WORD of the GOD of Israel before it is too late. Our GOD is taking back HIS Universe, and I PRAISE HIM, for I hate this world system that enables people to live as they choose rather than live by “every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD…” (Deuteronomy 8:3).
“I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being. My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the LORD. Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless thou the LORD, O my soul. Praise ye the LORD.”
Psalm 104:33 – 35
“Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from among the heathen, to give thanks unto thy holy name, and to triumph in thy praise. Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting…” Psalm 106:47
“For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.” Psalm 5:12
WHO IS ON THE LORD’s SIDE, make haste to return to HIM and to HIS Book of the Law and to live and do it in Righteousness with your whole heart and soul!
BLESSED BE THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL FOR HIS MERCIFUL KINDNESS TOWARDS THOSE WHO SEEK HIM AND WHO ARE OBEDIENT TO HIS LAW!
Me and My GOD with me,
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!
*****
AN UPDATED SPECIAL NOTE ON GOD's HOLY SEVENTH DAY OF COMPLETE REST!
I can understand how we would have questions about certain passages, and the reason is that not every single thing written in the Hebrews Scriptures is crystal clear. I have found that over the decades, some revelations have actually taken that long before I could come to a full understanding of what's written. Also, we must understand that the Holy ONE does not give us all that we should learn at one sitting and not even in one year. It truly takes time to internalize all the facts and Truths of the LAW and GOD's WORD and the enlightenment behind them. For that reason, we must continuously read the TORAH and GOD's WORD to HIS Prophets on a yearly basis.
However, given some passages that are crystal clear, I cannot understand how some of us can read into what's written that which is not there. I bring into issue GOD's Holy Seventh Day Sabbath of Complete REST (called a Shabbatone in Hebrew) that we are Commanded to observe in order that we, our animals, and our servants will be refreshed.
"Six days thou shalt do thy work, and on the seventh day thou shalt rest: that thine ox and thine ass may rest, and the son of thy handmaid, and the stranger, may be refreshed." Exodus 23:12
Just the above verse is enough to make us understand what Complete REST is all about. But no, it really isn't. One would think we would be ecstatic to have a day off recognizing the Glorious "Sign" between Our GOD of Israel and the Children of Israel, doing nothing but sleeping and sitting on our behinds Praising the GOD of Israel with THANKS for not having to work – some literally like a slave. Unfortunately, Israelites want to use this day for just about any and everything but for Complete REST. And if the above Scripture is not enough we have others that are even more precise and to the point and without confusion:
"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 the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 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. 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 31:12 - 17
Some Israelites honestly believe that the Sabbath Day of Complete REST doesn't start until in the morning, i.e., from morning until evening – disregarding the fact that the CREATOR started each new 24-hour day in the evening (Genesis First Chapter) which gave us our foundation for determining each day of the week.
As I have pointed out Isaiah 30:29, makes mention of "the night when a holy solemnity is kept". That verse also tells us that Holy Days are kept in the night. But then there are other Scriptures, as well:
"I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons." Psalm 16:7
"Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge." Psalm 19:2
"At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee because of thy righteous judgments." Psalm 119:62
If the Holy Sabbath of Complete REST is not observed at night, then what about all other activities that occur at night? Or do we just pick and choose which ones to observe at night? What about the sacrifice that is left to burn into the night? Do GOD's Laws, Statutes, and Judgments, Ordinances, revelations, and dreams bestowed upon us cease to have credibility in the night season? Hopefully, now when we think about it, starting Holy Days from morning to evening makes no sense at all. However, it does make sense that GOD's Ways and Ordinances DO NOT cease in the night season. All HIS Ways must be observed AT THEIR APPOINTED TIMES, and even in the night.
My hope is that all of us will seek a better understanding of GOD's Truth regarding HIS Law of the Holy Seventh Day Sabbath because those who profane it are subject to death, as Exodus indicates.
I have had several debates on the topic of when and how we should observe GOD's Seventh Day Sabbath. The when: Friday sunset to Saturday sundown. The how: In your places, wherever that might be and without holding classes, traveling, picnicking, cooking, spending money, and fulfilling pleasures – in essence, keeping this day "Holy" and at "REST".
Recently, I had a debate on the Sabbath that was about "holy convocation". It seems many Israelites seem to believe that although the GOD of Israel Commanded Complete REST for us and our animals that given what's written in Leviticus 23rd Chapter makes it all right to have an assembly of worship on the Sabbath Day.
"Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings." Leviticus 23:3
Some people do not take into consideration that, ONE, we are Commanded to abide in our places, and TWO, we are also Commanded to REST. They seem to think that "holy convocation" means to gather, just like church folk do on Sunday, and hold Sabbath Service. They could not be more wrong! It is impossible to enjoy Complete REST while in travel and while teaching.
"Holy convocation" does not and cannot mean to assemble. My proof positive is found in the Book of Exodus, where the GOD of Israel tells the Israelites to observe the First Day of Passover:
"And in the first day there shall be an holy convocation, and in the seventh day there shall be an holy convocation to you; no manner of work shall be done in them, save thatwhich every man must eat, that only may be done of you." Exodus 12:16
The key point here is that on the First Day of Passover, the Children of Israel were Commanded to stay in their "households" and consume their lamb or goat.
"Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house:" Exodus 12:3
"Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said unto them, Draw out and take you a lamb according to your families, and kill the passover." Exodus 12:21
"In one house shall it be eaten; thou shalt not carry forth ought of the flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall ye break a bone thereof." Exodus 12:49
Hence, the Children of Israel were not Commanded to assemble, and "holy convocation" could not mean to assemble for Passover. And by the same token, Israelites cannot use "holy convocation" as reason to hold a Sabbath Service.
Why are we still like our forefathers, that is being Hell bent on deviating from what's written and leaving us to our own confusion? Check the Hebrew Scriptures. Of all the Holy Days mentioned, the two that remarkably head the list are GOD's Holy Seventh Day Sabbath of Complete REST, which is, by the way, a "Sign" between HIM and the Children of Israel, and HIS Awesome Passover – both for HIS GLORY and HIS Holy Name's Sake. The Holy ONE of Israel has made the Sabbath "Sign" for HIMSELF for being the All-Mighty CREATOR GOD and for establishing CREATION in the BEGINNING all by HIMSELF. HE has established the Passover Memorial for HIS Great and Holy Name's Sake that all the world will remember it FOREVER because of HIS Powerful Hand that brought our forefathers out of Ancient Egyptian bondage! Therefore, not under any circumstances can we err by profaning these Holy Days, or any other Holy Day for that matter. And we should always strive to observe them with utmost sincerity and heart, exactly as they are written in the LAW.
Remember, Our GOD of Israel formed us for HIS Praise. Thus, when we demonstrate HIS Ways of Righteousness and observe HIS Feast Days that then we do HIM Justice and encourage others to follow our lead. For that reason, GOD's Commandments for keeping HIS Holy Days are not encrypted and need no interpretation. It only must be in our hearts to do what's written.
"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 30:10 - 16
At some point, it has got to be in our hearts to FEAR the Holy ONE of Israel to follow HIS written LAW, and until it is in our hearts to do so, we are not ready to fulfill Deuteronomy 30th Chapter. And worse, at GOD's set time when HE will recover the Remnant of Israel exiled throughout the world, not all of us will be among that number.
"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. And the LORD thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live." Deuteronomy 30:1 – 6
"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
"Thus saith the LORD, As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one saith, Destroy it not; for a blessing is in it: so will I do for my servants' sakes, that I may not destroy them all. And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains: and mine elect shall inherit it, and my servants shall dwell there." Isaiah 65:8,9
After leaving out of Ancient Egypt and forty years in the Wilderness, the Children of Israel walked into the Land of Israel as a Nation. This time the "he goats" will be first to arrive and prepare the way for the Nation of Israel, as each arrives. But where are they? And where are Israelites who will fulfill the Second Great Exodus that Our GOD of Israel will bring to fruition?
"And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea. And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth." Isaiah 11:11,12
"…behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that they shall no more say, The LORD liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; But, The LORD liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land." Jeremiah 23:7,8
According to these passages the CREATOR GOD confirms exactly what HIS Plan entails - ONLY A REMNANT will be recovered!
Those of us who desire to be in that number, let us come together to make a pact to follow the Holy ONE of Israel and HIS Laws, Statutes, and Judgments, as they are written with fasting and prayer, so that Our GOD of Israel will hear us and Deliver us speedily into the Wilderness where we will be encouraged in HIS Ways of Righteousness.

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.”
Exodus 15:26

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

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.

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
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
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? “
Could
it have been that the GOD of
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
“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:”

“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
“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
“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

of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye,

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
“Yet I
am the LORD thy God from the
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
“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

“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

“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
“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

shall come people, and the inhabitants of many cities: And the inhabitants of one city shall go to another,

hosts: I will go also. Yea, many
people and strong nations shall come to seek the LORD of hosts in
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!

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
“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

And the
“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

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
*****
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 14th Chapter).
More evidence is in Nehemiah 13th 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

A Dream
Fulfilled, Martin Luther King Memorial Opens (August 23, 2011)
Times Topic: Martin
Luther King Jr.
THE Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial was to
be dedicated on the National Mall on Sunday — exactly 56 years after the murder
of Emmett Till in Mississippi and 48 years after the historic March on
Washington for Jobs and Freedom. (Because of Hurricane Irene, the ceremony has
been postponed.)
These events constitute major milestones
in the turbulent history of race and democracy in America, and the undeniable
success of the civil rights movement — culminating in the election of Barack Obama
in 2008 — warrants our attention and elation. Yet the prophetic words of Rabbi
Abraham Joshua Heschel still haunt us: “The whole future of America depends on
the impact and influence of Dr. King.” Rabbi Heschel spoke those words during
the last years of King’s life, when 72 percent of whites and 55 percent of
blacks disapproved of King’s opposition to the Vietnam War and his efforts to
eradicate poverty in America. King’s dream of a more democratic America had
become, in his words, “a nightmare,” owing to the persistence of “racism,
poverty, militarism and materialism.” He called America a “sick society.” On
the Sunday after his assassination, in 1968, he was to have preached a sermon
titled “Why America May Go to Hell.”
King did not think that America ought to
go to hell, but rather that it might go to hell owing to its economic
injustice, cultural decay and political paralysis. He was not an American
Gibbon, chronicling the decline and fall of the American empire, but a
courageous and visionary Christian blues man, fighting with style and love in
the face of the four catastrophes he identified.
Militarism is an imperial catastrophe that
has produced a military-industrial complex and national security state and
warped the country’s priorities and stature (as with the immoral drones,
dropping bombs on innocent civilians). Materialism is a spiritual catastrophe,
promoted by a corporate media multiplex and a culture industry that have
hardened the hearts of hard-core consumers and coarsened the consciences of
would-be citizens. Clever gimmicks of mass distraction yield a cheap soulcraft
of addicted and self-medicated narcissists.
Racism is a moral catastrophe, most
graphically seen in the prison industrial complex and targeted police
surveillance in black and brown ghettos rendered invisible in public discourse.
Arbitrary uses of the law — in the name of the “war” on drugs — have produced,
in the legal scholar Michelle Alexander’s apt phrase, a
new Jim Crow of mass
incarceration. And poverty is an economic catastrophe, inseparable from the
power of greedy oligarchs and avaricious plutocrats indifferent to the misery
of poor children, elderly citizens and working people.
The age of Obama has fallen tragically
short of fulfilling King’s prophetic legacy. Instead of articulating a radical
democratic vision and fighting for homeowners, workers and poor people in the
form of mortgage relief, jobs and investment in education, infrastructure and
housing, the administration gave us bailouts for banks, record profits for Wall
Street and giant budget cuts on the backs of the vulnerable.
As the talk show host Tavis Smiley and I
have said in our national tour against poverty, the recent budget deal is only
the latest phase of a 30-year, top-down, one-sided war against the poor and
working people in the name of a morally bankrupt policy of deregulating
markets, lowering taxes and cutting spending for those already socially
neglected and economically abandoned. Our two main political parties, each
beholden to big money, offer merely alternative versions of oligarchic rule.
The absence of a King-worthy narrative to
reinvigorate poor and working people has enabled right-wing populists to seize
the moment with credible claims about government corruption and ridiculous
claims about tax cuts’ stimulating growth. This right-wing threat is a
catastrophic response to King’s four catastrophes; its agenda would lead to
hellish conditions for most Americans.
King weeps from his grave. He never
confused substance with symbolism. He never conflated a flesh and blood
sacrifice with a stone and mortar edifice. We rightly celebrate his substance
and sacrifice because he loved us all so deeply. Let us not remain satisfied
with symbolism because we too often fear the challenge he embraced. Our
greatest writer, Herman Melville, who spent his life in love with America even
as he was our most fierce critic of the myth of American exceptionalism, noted,
“Truth uncompromisingly told will always have its ragged edges; hence the
conclusion of such a narration is apt to be less finished than an architectural
finial.”
King’s response to our crisis can be put
in one word: revolution. A revolution in our priorities, a re-evaluation of our
values, a reinvigoration of our public life and a fundamental transformation of
our way of thinking and living that promotes a transfer of power from oligarchs
and plutocrats to everyday people and ordinary citizens.
In concrete terms, this means support for
progressive politicians like Senator Bernard Sanders of Vermont and Mark
Ridley-Thomas, a Los Angeles County supervisor; extensive community and media
organizing; civil disobedience; and life and death confrontations with the
powers that be. Like King, we need to put on our cemetery clothes and be
coffin-ready for the next great democratic battle.

End Times? Texas Lake Turns Blood-Red
By Stephanie Pappas, LiveScience Senior Writer
LiveScience.com |
LiveScience.com – Mon, Aug 1, 2011
A Texas lake that turned blood-red this summer may not be a sign of the End Times, but probably is the end of a popular fishing and recreation spot.
A drought has left the OC Fisher Reservoir in San Angelo State Park in West Texas almost entirely dry. The water that is left is stagnant, full of dead fish — and a deep, opaque red.
The color has some apocalypse believers suggesting that OC Fisher is an early sign of the end of the world, but Texas Parks and Wildlife Inland Fisheries officials say the bloody look is the result of Chromatiaceae bacteria, which thrive in oxygen-deprived water.
"It's just heartbreaking," said Charles Cruz, a fish and wildlife technician with Texas Parks and Wildlife in San Angelo, Tex.
Blood red reservoir
Texas is experiencing major drought this summer, with 75 percent of the state's area in an "exceptional" drought, the highest level, according to the National Drought Mitigation Center (NDMC). The state had hoped for some relief from Tropical Storm Don last week, but the system fizzled and brought only an inch or two of rain to areas near the coast.
The drought has taken its toll on a number of reservoirs in West Texas, Cruz told LiveScience. OC Fisher has never been completely full, Cruz said, but it was stocked with catfish, bass, sunfish and other popular targets for fishermen.
"We surveyed the lake, I believe it was last year, and we had a pretty good fish population out there," Cruz said. "It was pretty sickening going out there, watching lake levels just drop and drop and drop and seeing these nice trophy-sized bass just floating dead."
End times predictions
As of last week, all that remained of the lake was a small pond a few feet deep, Cruz said. There were thousands of dead fish, he said, but no sign of life.
Pictures of this blood-red pool circulated online in fishing forums and caught the notice of Indiana preacher Paul Begley, who said in a YouTube video that the lake might be evidence of the apocalypse as predicted by the Biblical book of Revelation. [End of the World? Top Doomsday Fears]
"The second angel poured out his bowl on the sea, and it turned into blood like that of a dead person, and every living thing in the sea died," the passage Begley cited reads. "The third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and springs of water, and they became blood."
Begley may not have any more luck at predicting the end of the world than did Harold Camping, the radio preacher who set the date for May 21, 2011. But for as long as the drought persists, the OC Fisher reservoir is a reservoir no longer.
"I don't know what's left in there now. We haven't been back," Cruz said. "But I would guess it's probably pretty much gone already."

US Human Rights Network Criticizes Obama
Administration Decision
Not To Participate in Durban III
Thursday, June
16, 2011 – The decision by the Obama administration not to participate in the
World Conference Against Racism, Xenophobia, and Related Intolerance, also
known as Durban III, is both unwise and shortsighted and demonstrates again
abandonment of its leadership role on this global issue. The US Human Rights
Network reaffirms its plans to participate in Durban III and urges the United
States to reconsider participation in this critical conference.
In justifying
the decision, administration officials stated that the previous two Durban
conferences had become platforms for intolerant and anti-Semitic views held by
some participants, and that even showing up for Durban III would be tantamount
to supporting those views. That position, however, assumes that the U.S. and
other nations have no ability to influence any of the many possible outcomes at
the conference and therefore should not try. “Leadership requires engagement,”
says Kali Akuno, USHRN co-director. “Failure to participate because some people
may hold objectionable opinions is to avoid the responsibilities of
leadership.”
The
administration’s decision raises serious concerns about its commitment to
racial justice, as the Durban Process is one of the few international
mechanisms designed to combat racial discrimination. While the administration
offered assurances that the U.S. remains committed to the global fight against
racism at home and abroad, no one has suggested a concrete alternative to
Durban. Pulling out of the conference may be an easy and expedient way to
temper political criticism at home and abroad, but without some alternate
strategy in place, the gesture is a hollow one at best.
The
conference, scheduled to be held in New York City on September 22, commemorates
the 10-year anniversary of the first Durban conference against racism. The
Durban process is intended to assess and advance the implementation of the
measures established by the Durban Declaration and Program of Action, which was
adopted by the 2001 conference. “The Durban Process breaks new ground in
addressing the structural roots of racism and racial discrimination, and
provides the most comprehensive framework yet created for addressing the
ongoing ills of this social malaise,” says Akuno.
Durban III
also seeks to promote the universal ratification and implementation of the
International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial
Discrimination (CERD), an international treaty ratified by the U.S. in 1994.
The USHRN has been an advocate of demanding U.S. compliance with the treaty and
calls on the Administration to adopt a comprehensive national plan of action to
ensure effective implementation of CERD. The USHRN submitted a
comprehensive shadow report in 2008 to the U.N. committee that monitors compliance
with CERD by signatory states and will coordinate civil society shadow report
submissions for the 2012 review of U.S. compliance.
The USHRN
strongly supports and will fully participate in Durban III. The Network
will be hosting a number of educational and advocacy activities during the
conference to promote positive outcomes, highlight the Year of People of
African Descent, and press for full compliance and implementation of CERD. The
Network strongly encourages the Obama Administration to reverse its decision
not to attend and to make all efforts to demonstrate its full commitment to
combating racial discrimination and xenophobia in the United States and
throughout the world.

MY
PERSPECTIVE AND REACTION
TO
THE UN
2011, INTERNATIONAL YEAR FOR PEOPLE OF AFRICAN DESCENT
February 1, 2011
I ask that you bear with me, and the reason is that many of you do not espouse to my Spirituality. Regardless, my heartfelt desires and concerns are for all people of color, and that we must speak in behalf of ALL Blacks who are persecuted, oppressed, and suffering in this present world system. And because of my Spirituality, it is my conviction and staunch belief that true FREEDOM, RESETTLEMENT elsewhere (for those who want it), and REPARATIONS will be acquired and manifest through the WORKS of the CREATOR GOD – the same GOD that SAVED the Children of Israel out of Egyptian bondage. Just in case you never noticed, our predicaments are very much the same. The difference is that there has not been a mandate stating, “Every son that is born ye shall cast into the river”. Nevertheless, there are covert instructions to judge Black males and Black females even for the smallest crimes and order them to jail for life. And let’s not even go into the racial profiling that can get Blacks shot to death or landed in jail on trumped up charges. Yes, I am fighting for Blacks to be free of this racism and for REPARATIONS for Blacks all over the world for this heinous Slave Trade, which was a crime against Blacks that has us still suffering. So, whether you agree with my Spirituality or not, we can come together for the betterment, self-determination, and empowerment of all Black peoples in order that our children will not have to endure this present world order that keeps us in darkness, in captivity, and under White control.
***
Before writing my perspective to the United Nations’ Resolution concerning the 2011 International Year for People of African Descent, I read through many documents and E-mails related to our fight against racism and our battle for Reparations. Although there are diverse ideals about how to attain Reparations, it is good that the great majority of us speak out and believe that we are justified in seeking it. That which is of great import is that we are once again on the road to make this struggle come to fruition. And this time, we cannot be slow to act, and we certainly cannot give up the fight.
My
platform and focus is that we be more aggressive in placing blame, which
clearly falls on Colonial and U.S. governments for this cruel and barbaric
Slave Trade in which 100 million Blacks died enroute to slave castles, while
awaiting slave ships, during the Middle Passage and in the lands of the
Slavers. The United States is to be
blamed also for the lynchings and thousands of injustices that followed unto
this day without bringing the criminals to justice. We must also focus on our FREEDOM and
“release” from the grips of a system that has taken our forebears in chains and
yokes out of Africa and completely ethnically cleansed us of our roots. Next, we are within our human rights to have
the government start RESETTLEMENT proceedings and REPARATIONS to meet the above
objectives. Whatever your concerns, keep
the audacity to hope for FREEDOM, RESETTLEMENT, and REPARATIONS alive in these
United States and in all countries and governments that stole Blacks out of
Africa.
There is no question that savage racism is the makeup of the American Way and is a serious problem for Blacks and all people of color. However, we have made racism the basis for Reparations without any success. Hence, we have to consider an even greater approach and stratagem to meet our objectives. We have to consider an even greater approach to not only resolve the issue of racism for Blacks who are proud to be Americans. But for those of us who deplore the racism, injustice, corruption, and subjugation that permeate the US systems, and who want better lives elsewhere, we want lifestyles of excellence for our children and progeny. And we must stand strong before the United Nations and insist upon self-determination - elsewhere - because it will never happen in the “Good Ol’ US of A”. Thus, we must have our FREEDOM and RESETTLEMENT in stable and friendly countries of our choice that tolerate people of color.
We are well aware that the United States has become a country unfit for human habitation – not just because of the ill treatment of Blacks and other minorities but because the country’s waters and atmosphere are polluted beyond any means of remedy. Thus, the country is diseased with race hatred and carcinogenic chemicals in the water and in the air that we breathe.
I have long since admired my ambitious and goodhearted Black people who are always encouraging excellence in our undertakings. However, we, as a group, have had little opportunity to accomplish our goals and our dreams, even though some of us are computer programmers, mathematicians, scientists, educators, engineers, doctors, and specialists in all fields. Few Blacks are president and vice president of billion dollar corporations, and those employed in large corporations do not move up the ladder in positions that matter and salaries as do Whites. And do not delude yourselves, no matter what the UN puts in writing, nothing is going to change in this country with a foundation built on a Holocaust, prejudice, segregation, and race hatred.
Nevertheless, if we are in control of our own educational system, our governments, and our own social and economical systems, then we can make the necessary decisions for our own well-fare. Let’s not forget Black Wallstreet. That was an exceptional accomplishment Whites never intended to happen, and it has not occurred since they destroyed Wallstreet’s complete design and foundation. Whites were appalled that Blacks could be so successful without their involvement, and they had to put and end to Wallstreet before it got so big that it was in competition with them. To believe that another Black Wallstreet will happen again in the United States is to believe a lie. The truth of the matter is that if there were no poor Blacks in the States and no Third-world countries existing in gross impoverishment, then there would be no White Supremacy.
We have to rise above our plight and be inspired and encouraged to take our expertise elsewhere and establish the likes of our own Black Walstreet in countries that will be happy to receive it. If Whites won’t invest in Blacks, then let Blacks invest in Blacks, and today we have Ghana, Nigeria, and other countries in South America and Africa with the finances willing to help in this regard, if we can prove our willingness to be successful and excel with the best of them.
We must go before the United Nations and seek our FREEDOM on the basis of the forced migration that brought our forebears to these shores and kept us here in this land of misery. We must go before the United Nations and seek RESETTLEMENT opportunities because of this cruel displacement. We must go before the United Nations for Reparations to finance our settlements/communities, housing, farms, school systems, and funding for our livelihoods and recreational centers, hospitals and clinics – much needed to give our people the required medical attention. All these facilities are what will make our people self-supporting and viable citizens in societies that we will have established, as well as make us truly proud to be Black.
The Slave Trade thrived because of the millions who were forcibly migrated to these shores (and to other countries), because of colonial America and the US government that perpetuated the control of many generations of Blacks in Slavery. On these grounds also, it is our human right for justice to be served, and it is the duty of the United Nations to aid us in this cause and justice for the barbaric and cruel Slave Trade. Human rights and FREEDOM for all is the basis and duty of the United Nations, and we at this point want justice served for all the atrocities committed against Slaves and against us.
We must also be compassionate towards descendants of Slaves in other countries and speak in their favor, as well. In this regard, we must cause the United Nations to understand the need for an International Foundation established for contributions from all countries that grew wealthy off the backs of Slaves in order that all descendants of Slaves might benefit from the untold criminal acts against Black humanity that has gone unresolved for far too long.
It is imperative that any UN conferences involving the 2011 International Year for People of African Descent include “African American” representation equaling the same number of UN members addressing this issue. This is what’s fair and justified on the basis of Colonial Americans insistence on “no taxation without representation” policy.
After reading the 2011, International Year for
People of African Descent, I am not encouraged. The idea and purpose are fine, but I read
nothing written that will address our requests for FREEDOM, RESETTLEMENT, REPARATIONS, and an end to racism.
Excerpt from the Resolution adopted by the General Assembly:
“Proclaims the
year beginning on 1 January 2011 the International Year For People of African
Descent, with a view to strengthening national actions and Regional and
international cooperation for the benefit of people of African descent in Relation
to their full enjoyment of economic, cultural, social, civil and political
rights, their participation and integration in all political, economic, social
and cultural aspects of society, and the promotion of a greater knowledge of
and respect for their diverse heritage and culture:”
Who compiled this report? Are they people who are truly serious about 2011 being a productive year to address Black Agendas? Everyone who is anyone in this country knows that the powers-that-be are well aware of the inequality, inequity, prejudice, and discrimination we face being people of color since the Slave Trade. If this General Assembly is not aware, then without hesitation we can spend a two or three years before the United Nations taking turns citing passages in the annals of history involving all the heinous crimes of the Slave Masters and the double standards, isolation, and exclusion from the equal distribution of wealth and the job market, even since the end of Slavery in 1865!
Didn’t the person or Assembly Committee
responsible for this Resolution know about Affirmative Action that did much of
nothing to help our cause but that worked above and beyond for White
Women? Aren’t these people aware of the
lily White Senate and AIPAC, another White but Jewish organization, that runs
the House of Representatives and the Senate with bribes and that has concern
only for White “Jews” and those whom they can exploit? Isn’t this Assembly aware that these White
“Jews” can successfully get their way and everything they want from this
government and even have the chutzpah to object to rights that are due Blacks?
And aren’t they aware of the KKK, the injustice in the judicial system, and the
disproportionate number of Blacks incarcerated than Whites? Didn’t this Assembly hear about President
Bush pulling the US representatives out of the World Conference Against Racism?
Aren’t these people aware that this past December, the UN General Assembly voted and approved a resolution to hold
a summit commemorating the Durban Conference Against Racism,
and the US voted against this resolution?
There is but one way to fight the racism in this country, and that is to
leave it! There has been no American Dream
for descendants of Slaves, no enjoyment or even hope of better lives, and
participation in the economic benefits in this country have been nil. And this “promotion
of a greater knowledge of and respect for their diverse heritage and culture”
is nothing more than a joke. The
school systems no longer are concerned with Multicultural Education, and when
they were, it was mainly about the Jewish Holocaust ad nauseam, as if the Black
Holocaust overshadowed their White Jewish thirteen years of pogrom.
If the General
Assembly wanted to make descendants of Slaves believe that this Resolution is
truly intended to make changes for the betterment of Blacks, then it should
have implemented buzz words commonly used by Blacks who are fighting for our
FREEDOM and fighting against RACISM and for JUSTICE SERVED for the SLAVE
TRADE!
The UN General Assembly should know by now that there is
not much that will be done when the US government and other agencies are
foremost in committing “racial discriminations”.
If no one can
strengthen the office of the Presidency to be a voice for those who have none,
how will anything positive ever be accomplished for Blacks in this place called
“America the Beautiful”? And I fail to
understand what “Regional and
International cooperation” entails and is in regard to our economic,
cultural, social, civil and political rights, etc., etc.
It appears to me that some folks at the UN attempted to write a Resolution that looked good on paper, but they failed miserably, as this document leaves much to be desired. We must, at all costs, work in conjunction with ALL Committees and Conferences involving this 2011, International Year for People of African Descent, or our objectives will not be met. Remember and take to heart, it is now time for us to have our voices heard loud and clear that descendants of Slaves are determined to have justice served for the Slave Trade and for the ensuing race hatred and savage injustice that has prevailed since forcing Blacks to this country. We can no longer stand by and allow the White world governments to sweep the atrocities of the Slave Trade and racism under the rug, as if they never existed. Tunisia, Egypt, and Jordan held demonstrations that we must consider and be as equally as determined to stand strong and be steadfast as have been the peoples of these countries. Let’s not forget that money talks and peaceful demonstrations walk, if we ever want change in our lives and in the lives of our children. What have we got to lose?
White folks and even some Blacks do not think we deserve Reparations. If these are the ones who wrote this Resolution, then the first steps for justice have not been served. Nevertheless, I appeal to the United Nations to give us at least half the wealth the government and the Slavers amassed off the backs of our forefathers, for without their labor, this country would not be the power in the world that it is, dwindling though that power may be.
I cannot close without a warning. Without question, when REPARATIONS are rendered, those who will choose to stay in the US should know that efforts will be made to extend this restitution to everyone but to descendants of Slaves. Even President Obama, a man, husband, and father that I deeply admire, has said that REPARATIONS can be provided in the form of better educational systems. Taxes for educational systems are already in place, but just not for the Black ghettoes wherein have lived poor, impoverished Blacks for lack of the necessary education, employment, and salaries to bring them out of this dilemma.
In the words of Dr. Conrad W. Worrill, “We must regain the momentum which the Reparations Movement had in the first few years of this century.” And he is absolutely correct!
IN THE
WORDS OF GOD’s SERVANT AND PROPHET MOSES:
“Fear ye not, stand still, and see the
salvation of the LORD.”

THE UNITED NATIONS AND PEOPLE OF
AFRICAN DESCENT

We must regain the momentum which the Reparations Movement had in the first few years of this century. The United Nations World Conference Against Racism in Durban, South Africa recognized the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade and Slavery as a Crime Against Humanity for which Reparations are due!
The U. N. has declared 2011, the “Year
for People of African Descent.” There are different activities being planned.
As Malcolm X taught us, we must use the international arena to highlight our
National Human Rights’ Demand for Reparations! Let us review the work of the
December 12th Movement and NBUF leading up to the World Conference
Against Racism.
In 1999, the National Black United Front ( NBUF ) joined forces with the December 12th Movement in organizing a delegation of Africans in America to attend the United Nations World Conference Against Racism. The conference was held in Durban, South Africa from August 31st to September 7 , 2001 . We should never forget the impact and significance of this organizing project..
The December 12th Movement International Secretariat, the International Association Against Torture , North South XXI has official Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) status with the United Nations. Over the last twenty years, this group has committed much of its organizing efforts to participating in the United Nations Human Rights Commission by presenting numerous issues that impact African people in America. They have been NBUF ’s eyes and ears at the U.N.
As Atty. Roger Wareham of the December 12th Movement recently revealed in an article circulated on the internet, “Since 1997, when the U.N. agreed to hold this World Conference, the United States , Canada, and Western Europe (the WEO Group of countries) have done all they can to prevent it from succeeding.”
In the spring of 1998 , at the African Group meeting during the Commission on Human Rights in Geneva, a Resolution was drafted identifying the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade as a Crime Against Humanity. The United States used all of its influence and blocked the resolution. However, this did not stop the momentum throughout the African World to pursue this resolution’s becoming an official position of the United Nations World Conference Against Racism.
At the African Regional Preparatory Conference, for the World Conference Against Racism, held in Dakar, Senegal ( January 22-24, 2001 ), the African Ministers developed what has been called the “Dakar Declaration.” In their deliberations, they affirmed, in part, the following:
- Affirm that the slave trade is a
unique tragedy in the history of humanity, particularly against Africans— a
crime against humanity which is unparalleled, not only in its abhorrent
barbaric feature, but also, in terms of its enormous magnitude, its
institutionalized nature, its transnational dimension and especially its
negation of the human nature of the victims.
- Further affirm that the consequences
of this tragedy accentuated by those of colonialism and apartheid, have
resulted in substantial and lasting economic, political, and cultural damage
caused to the descendants of the victims, the perpetuation of the prejudice
against Africans on the continent and people of African descent in the
Diaspora.
-
Strongly reaffirm that
States which pursued racist policies or acts of racial discrimination, such as slavery,
colonialism, and apartheid, should assume their full responsibilities and
provide adequate reparations to those States, communities and
individuals who were victims of such racist policies or acts, regardless of
when or by whom they were committed.
-
International law supports the position that the enslavement of Africans was a crime against humanity. The Charter of the Nuremberg Tribunal defined crimes against humanity in this manner: “Murder, extermination, enslavement, deportation, and other inhumane acts committed against any civilian population… whether or not in violation of the domestic law of the country where perpetuated.”
The African Reparations Movement explains that, “Historians and their experts can show, without difficulty, how the invasion of African territories, the mass capture of Africans, the horrors of the middle passage, the chattelization of Africans in America , and the extermination of the language and culture of the transported Africans, constituted violations of all these international laws.” Thus, the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade was a Crime Against Humanity and, it is clear, African people are owed reparations throughout the world.
Again, as Atty. Wareham explains, “Before the U.N. World Conferences are actually held, they are preceded by PrepCom (Preparatory Committee meetings) in the various geographical regions of the world where the actual content of the final document , the program of action was worked out, and the PreComs were completed. All of the regional PreComs are over. In Geneva, Switzerland, a working group meeting held March 6 –9 , 2001 to consider a Draft Declaration (the Durban Declaration) and tried to resolve a dispute about whether compensatory relief (i.e. reparations) should even be considered as a theme of the World Conference. This was only an issue because of U. S. and Western European opposition.” The dispute was not settled and another meeting will be held in May in Geneva.
The New York Times revealed, “A conference on racism this summer could be one of the most explosive meetings this organization (United Nations) has ever held, with moves afoot to cast globalization as a racial issue and to demand reparations for the slave trade and colonialism.”
For more than twenty years, the December 12th Movement International Secretariat has fought in defense of the human rights of African people at the United Nations, in both Switzerland and New York. During this time, they have come to help us understand that while we, as African people, may not recognize the importance of the international agency to the progress of our struggle, but the United States and its allies are crystal clear about it.
NBUF agrees with the December 12th Movement that we must continue to organize at the international level in bringing the issues of African people before the world and especially the issue of Reparations. One way we can continue this work is to organize around the United Nations declared 2011 “Year for People of African Descent.”

READING FOR THE SOUL TO
STRENGTHEN OUR FEAR, LOVE, HOPE, AND TRUST IN THE MOST HIGH CREATOR GOD TO DO
HIS WILL:
WE WILL REJOICE IN THY SALVATION
AND
IN THE NAME OF OUR GOD WE WILL SET UP BANNERS
“The LORD hear thee in the day of trouble; the
name of the God of Jacob defend thee;
Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of
Zion;
Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice; Selah.
Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfil all thy
counsel.
We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we
will set up our banners: the LORD fulfil all thy petitions.
Now know I that the LORD saveth his anointed; he will hear him
from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand.
Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember
the name of the LORD our God.
They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand
upright.
Save, LORD: let the king hear us when we call.” Psalm
Twentieth Chapter
LIFT UP THYSELF,
THOU JUDGE OF THE EARTH
“O Lord God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O
God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself.
Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward to the
proud.
LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?
How long shall they utter and speak hard things? and all the
workers of iniquity boast themselves?
They break in pieces thy people, O LORD, and afflict thine
heritage.
They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.
Yet they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall the God of
Jacob regard it.
Understand, ye brutish among the people: and ye fools, when will
ye be wise?
He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the
eye, shall he not see?
He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? he that
teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know?
The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.
Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest him
out of thy law;
That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until
the pit be digged for the wicked.
For the LORD will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake
his inheritance.
But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright
in heart shall follow it.
Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand
up for me against the workers of iniquity?
Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in
silence.
When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O LORD, held me up.
In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my
soul.
Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which
frameth mischief by a law?
They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous,
and condemn the innocent blood.
But the LORD is my defence; and my God is the rock of my refuge.
And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut
them off in their own wickedness; yea, the LORD our God shall cut them off.” Psalm
Nineth-fourth Chapter
HEARKEN UNTO ME,
MY PEOPLE; AND GIVE EAR UNTO ME
“Hearken to me, ye that follow after
righteousness, ye that seek the LORD: look unto the rock whence ye are hewn,
and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged.
Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you: for I
called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him.
For the LORD shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all her waste
places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the
garden of the LORD; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and
the voice of melody.
Hearken unto me, my people; and give ear unto me, O my nation: for
a law shall proceed from me, and I will make my judgment to rest for a light of
the people.
My righteousness is near; my salvation is gone forth, and mine
arms shall judge the people; the isles shall wait upon me, and on mine arm
shall they trust.
Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath:
for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like
a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my
salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.
Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose
heart is my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their
revilings.
For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall
eat them like wool: but my righteousness shall be for ever, and my salvation
from generation to generation.
Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the LORD; awake, as in the
ancient days, in the generations of old. Art thou not it that hath cut Rahab,
and wounded the dragon?
Art thou not it which hath dried the sea, the waters of the great
deep; that hath made the depths of the sea a way for the ransomed to pass over?
Therefore the redeemed of the LORD shall return, and come with
singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their head: they shall
obtain gladness and joy; and sorrow and mourning shall flee away.
I, even I, am he that comforteth you: who art thou, that thou
shouldest be afraid of a man that shall die, and of the son of man which shall
be made as grass;
And forgettest the LORD thy maker, that hath stretched forth the
heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; and hast feared continually
every day because of the fury of the oppressor, as if he were ready to destroy?
and where is the fury of the oppressor?
The captive exile hasteneth that he may be loosed, and that he
should not die in the pit, nor that his bread should fail.
But I am the LORD thy God, that divided the sea, whose waves
roared: The LORD of hosts is his name.
And I have put my words in thy mouth, and I have covered thee in
the shadow of mine hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations
of the earth, and say unto Zion, Thou art my people.
Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem, which hast drunk at the hand
of the LORD the cup of his fury; thou hast drunken the dregs of the cup of
trembling, and wrung them out.
There is none to guide her among all the sons whom she hath
brought forth; neither is there any that taketh her by the hand of all the sons
that she hath brought up.
These two things are come unto thee; who shall be sorry for thee?
desolation, and destruction, and the famine, and the sword: by whom shall I
comfort thee?
Thy sons have fainted, they lie at the head of all the streets, as
a wild bull in a net: they are full of the fury of the LORD, the rebuke of thy
God.
Therefore hear now this, thou afflicted, and drunken, but not with
wine:
Thus saith thy Lord the LORD, and thy God that pleadeth the cause
of his people, Behold, I have taken out of thine hand the cup of trembling,
even the dregs of the cup of my fury; thou shalt no more drink it again:
But I will put it into the hand of them that afflict thee; which
have said to thy soul, Bow down, that we may go over: and thou hast laid thy
body as the ground, and as the street, to them that went over.”
Isaiah Fifty-first Chapter
BE NOT WROTH
VERY SORE, O LORD, NEITHER REMEMBER INIQUITY FOR EVER
“Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that
thou wouldest come down, that the mountains might flow down at thy presence,
As when the melting fire burneth, the fire causeth the waters to
boil, to make thy name known to thine adversaries, that the nations may tremble
at thy presence!
When thou didst terrible things which we looked not for, thou
camest down, the mountains flowed down at thy presence.
For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor
perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he
hath prepared for him that waiteth for him.
Thou meetest him that rejoiceth and worketh righteousness, those
that remember thee in thy ways: behold, thou art wroth; for we have sinned: in
those is continuance, and we shall be saved.
But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses
are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the
wind, have taken us away.
And there is none that calleth upon thy name, that stirreth up
himself to take hold of thee: for thou hast hid thy face from us, and hast
consumed us, because of our iniquities.
But now, O LORD, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou
our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.
Be not wroth very sore, O LORD, neither remember iniquity for
ever: behold, see, we beseech thee, we are all thy people.
Thy holy cities are a wilderness, Zion is a wilderness, Jerusalem
a desolation.
Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised thee,
is burned up with fire: and all our pleasant things are laid waste.
Wilt thou refrain thyself for these things, O LORD? wilt thou hold
thy peace, and afflict us very sore?” Isaiah Sixty-fourth Chapter
*****
KING SOLOMON'S PRAYER
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: Who hast kept with thy
servant David my father that thou promisedst him: thou spakest also with thy
mouth, and hast fulfilled it with thine hand, as it is this day.
Therefore now, LORD God of Israel, keep with thy servant
David my father that thou promisedst him, saying, There shall not fail thee
a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel; so that thy children
take heed to their way, that they walk before me as thou hast walked before me.
And now, O God of Israel, let thy word, I pray thee, be verified, which
thou spakest unto thy servant David my father.
But will God indeed dwell on the earth? behold, the
heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house that
I have builded?
Yet have thou respect unto the prayer of thy servant,
and to his supplication, O LORD my God, to hearken unto the cry and to the
prayer, which thy servant prayeth before thee to day: That thine eyes may be
open toward this house night and day, even toward the place of which
thou hast said, My name shall be there: that thou mayest hearken unto the
prayer which thy servant shall make toward this place.
And hearken thou to the supplication of thy servant, and
of thy people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place: and hear thou in
heaven thy dwelling place: and when thou hearest, forgive.
If any man trespass against his neighbour, and an oath be
laid upon him to cause him to swear, and the oath come before thine altar in
this house: Then hear thou in heaven, and do, and judge thy servants, condemning
the wicked, to bring his way upon his head; and justifying the righteous, to
give him according to his righteousness.
When thy people Israel be smitten down before the enemy, because they have sinned against thee, and shall turn again to thee, and confess thy name, and pray, and make supplication unto thee in this house: Then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again unto the land which thou gavest unto their fathers.
When heaven is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against thee; if they pray toward this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin, when thou afflictest them: Then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, that thou teach them the good way wherein they should walk, and give rain upon thy land, which thou hast given to thy people for an inheritance.
If there be in the land famine, if there be pestilence, blasting, mildew, locust, or if there be caterpillar; if their enemy besiege them in the land of their cities; whatsoever plague, whatsoever sickness there be; What prayer and supplication soever be made by any man, or by all thy people Israel, which shall know every man the plague of his own heart, and spread forth his hands toward this house: Then hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive, and do, and give to every man according to his ways, whose heart thou knowest; (for thou, even thou only, knowest the hearts of all the children of men;) That they may fear thee all the days that they live in the land which thou gavest unto our fathers.
Moreover concerning a stranger, that is not of
thy people Israel, but cometh out of a far country for thy name's sake; (For
they shall hear of thy great name, and of thy strong hand, and of thy stretched
out arm;) when he shall come and pray toward this house; Hear thou in heaven
thy dwelling place, and do according to all that the stranger calleth to thee
for: that all people of the earth may know thy name, to fear thee, as do
thy people Israel; and that they may know that this house, which I have
builded, is called by thy name.
If thy people go out to battle against their enemy, whithersoever
thou shalt send them, and shall pray unto the LORD toward the city which thou
hast chosen, and toward the house that I have built for thy name: Then
hear thou in heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their
cause.
If they sin against thee, (for there is no man that sinneth not,) and thou be angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captives unto the land of the enemy, far or near;
Yet if they shall bethink themselves in the land
whither they were carried captives, and repent, and make supplication unto thee
in the land of them that carried them captives, saying, We have sinned, and
have done perversely, we have committed wickedness; And so return unto
thee with all their heart, and with all their soul, in the land of their
enemies, which led them away captive, and pray unto thee toward their land,
which thou gavest unto their fathers, the city which thou hast chosen, and the
house which I have built for thy name: Then hear thou their prayer and their
supplication in heaven thy dwelling place, and maintain their cause, And
forgive thy people that have sinned against thee, and all their transgressions wherein
they have transgressed against thee, and give them compassion before them who
carried them captive, that they may have compassion on them:
For they be thy people, and thine inheritance,
which thou broughtest forth out of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of
iron: That thine eyes may be open unto the supplication of thy servant, and
unto the supplication of thy people Israel, to hearken unto them in all that
they call for unto thee.
For thou didst separate
them from among all the people of the earth, to be thine inheritance, as
thou spakest by the hand of Moses thy servant, when thou broughtest our fathers
out of Egypt, O Lord GOD.

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 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,

“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.”
I Chronicles 16:20 – 26
“Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice: and let men say among the nations, The LORD reigneth.
“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.”
I Chronicles 16:31,35,36
***
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 TOGETHER:
QUESTIONS TEN 761 - 770
SEPTEMBER 2011 LAWKEEPERS JOURNAL – for ages eight (8) and above:
QUESTIONS TEN:
761. When
offering our firstling males that come of the herd and of the flock to be
sanctified unto the LORD Our GOD of Israel, what is Commanded of us that should
NOT be done to these firstlings?
762. Where must all our offerings be eaten?
763. If there is any blemish in animals – if
they are lame or blind, etc., where does Our GOD of Israel tell us to eat them?
764. What does Our GOD of Israel tell us to
do with the blood of the animals we are permitted to eat?
765. How are Israelites Commanded to
remember the day our forefathers came out of the Land of Egypt?
766. Our GOD of Israel Commands us to
sacrifice the Passover at the season our forefathers came out of Egypt. What season was that?
767. When are Israelites Commanded to number
the Seven Weeks for the Feast of Weeks Observance?
768. What is the purpose of the Feast of
Weeks Celebration?
769. What are the two other ways of calling
the Feast of Tabernacles?
770. The GOD of Israel Commands Israelite
males to appear before HIM and to NOT appear before HIM empty. What are these three times?
*****
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.

(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.

CLOSING SCRIPTURE EXALTING THE CREATOR GOD OF ISRAEL:
“Praise ye the LORD. O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is
good:
for his mercy endureth for ever.”
Psalm 106:1
“We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we
have done wickedly.Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt; they
remembered not the multitude of thy mercies; but provoked him at the sea, even
at the Red sea.Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake, that he might
make his mighty power to be known.He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried
up: so he led them through the depths, as through the wilderness.And he saved
them from the hand of him that hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of
the enemy.And the waters covered their enemies: there was not one of them left.
Then believed they his words; they sang his praise.”
Psalm 106:6 – 12

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
Remember those incarcerated…contact them…encourage them in GOD’s Truth…T.Y. Editor
***
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.
