A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT OF

THE LAWKEEPERS, CO.:

THE REMNANT

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

The Book of Ezra describes the REMNANT that returned to Jerusalem from Babylon after Nebuchadnezzar had taken the Israelites away captive as, “The whole congregation together [was] forty and two thousand three hundred [and] threescore”. (42,360 persons).

Who will be counted among the REMNANT that YIHOVAH has declared HE will assemble from the four corners of the earth?

The call has gone out to those few men, women, children and persons of understanding who have taken heed to the MOST HIGH’s book of the law that he handed down to Moses.

In the land of our captivity and on whatever continent you look an Yisraelite is treated as the lowest of the lows, less than even the newest immigrant. The culture of the people in these lands is alien to us; yet we’ve been made to adjust to their standards, mores, and customs and even more so forced to assimilate to the vilest habits that people can practice.

The signs that we observe in these times inform the REMNANT that is to be called out of Babylon, and Sodom, and Gomorrah, and every other “hell hole”……..it’s time to get a move on. Well, what are the signs that we see:

· Society now accepts a practice where men are allowed to openly dress as women, men are the lovers of themselves, and men can legally be married to men in a civil ceremony. In addition, because these all male couples cannot procreate society allows for them to adopt little boys and girls.

The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so [are] abomination unto the LORD thy God. Deuteronomy 22:5

If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood [shall be] upon them. Leviticus 20:13

· Weather patterns all over the planet are extremes; turning forests into burned down charred earth after years of drought, dangerous and deadly storms have repeatedly hit some regions, volcanic eruptions and basically unusual conditions in otherwise Edenic environs.

Because the ground is chapt, for there was no rain in the earth, the plowmen were ashamed, they covered their heads. Jeremiah 14:4

Behold, a whirlwind of the LORD is gone forth in fury, even a grievous whirlwind: it shall fall grievously upon the head of the wicked. Jeremiah 23:19

The list of signs is endless, but to enlightened Yisraelites and wise persons of understanding just the two aforementioned phenomena are enough to make the case that now is the time that the REMNANT of Jacob “shall no more again stay upon him that smote them.”

Shalom and Shalom,

Tribute to the New Moon Revised:

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

“And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me,

saith the LORD.”

Isaiah 66:22,23

<<<PLEASE TAKE PART IN THE NEW MOON WATCH>>>

<<<For The First Day of the “HEBREW” Month>>>

IF “SIGHTED,”

And if it’s not the evening of GOD’s Holy Seventh Day Sabbath of

COMPLETE REST or other Holy Day,

please report your evidence (day, date, and time) to:

START THE NEXT NEW MOON WATCH ON THE EVENINGS OF

<<<OCTOBER 14,15,16, 2004>>>

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

“He appointed the moon for seasons…”

Psalm 104:19

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

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

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

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

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

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

THE NEW MOONS AND OTHER PHASES OF THE MOON PROVIDE “SIGNS” FOR DAYS, WEEKS, AND NEW MONTHS. At any given time throughout the month, we can view a phase and know just how far along in the month we are from the moon “waxing and waning,” i.e., at its quarter, half point, three-fourths and ending phases. This is not worshipping the moon, but rather using this Divine phenomenon for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years just as we are Commanded to do in Genesis 1:14.

***

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

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

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

on our solemn feast day.

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

Psalm 81:1 - 4

(A Psalm of Asaph, the Seer –

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

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

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

Numbers 10:10

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I Kings 3:15

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

A Tribute to GOD’s “HOLY” Seventh Day Sabbath of Complete Rest:

“REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY, TO KEEP IT HOLY”

Exodus 20:8

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

GOD’s Holy Sabbath Day 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!

“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

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.

*******

“…we will remember the name of the LORD our God.”

Psalm 20:7

“And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee:

for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.”

Psalm 9:10

“… The LORD God of your fathers,

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

HINTS FOR HARDY, HEALTHY HEBREWS:

POLLUTION AND PROCESSED FOODS

LEAD TO DEGENERATION!

One Cause! One Cure? One Product!

Many people who recognize the dangers of eating rich processed foods such as cakes, cookies, canned foods, in particular, have become more selective in their diet. However, there is no escape from free radical production within our body, which is one of the causes of ageing. When we exercise vigorously, free radical production rate increases. Free radicals cause oxidative damage to the body and oxidation is associated with heart disease, cancer and diabetes as well as ageing.

What is a free radical? Physically a free radical is an atom with a missing or unpaired electron. When the atom has lost an electron, the atom is no longer stable and seeks another electron to replace the one it lost. As it finds another electron, it leaves behind another unstable atom and a chemically unstable chain reaction of similar events occurs. In this case it is the delicate biological tissues vital to life that are being corroded and destroyed. This affects the absorption of nutrients into our cells and the elimination of toxic waste products and can, in severe cases, destabilize the complete immune system.

In order to reduce the potential damage of free radicals mutating our DNA, it is important to reduce the number of free radicals floating around our body. Apart from eating better supplementation with known antioxidants it is essential to limit potential damage from free radicals.

OXIDATION: THE CAUSE!

10,000 Free Radicals Crash Into Your Body's Cells Each Day!

During the last decade more and more research has confirmed that many of the 20th Century’s most common diseases are associated with deficiency of antioxidant nutrients and helped by their supplementation. These life-style diseases are brought about by the high stress, pollution in the environments, and processed foods of our modern society. Even our so-called fresh water has become polluted. 

Heart Disease leads the pack with frightening statistics

It is the No.1 killer in the US

An American dies every 34 seconds of this disease

Each year 750,000 Americans suffer heart attacks

Of those, only 250,000 survive

On the surface, these many and varied diseases appear to have little or no connection to each other at all. But far beyond the surface, in the deepest reaches of our physical structure, there is a common root from which each of them stem. It is hard to believe that the same thing that causes heart disease is responsible for the wrinkling of the skin. Or that the cause of cancerous tumors is the same as the cause of age-induced stiffening of the joints.

The seed of destruction is the free radical. The process is oxidation. The result is degeneration... the scourge of modern man.

Many decades ago, the late Louis Pasteur went beyond previously charted boundaries to seek the answers to what were then life-threatening diseases. Instead of searching the visible realms he knew, he went on to explore the microscopic world as yet unknown. It was here that he discovered the existence of the tiny organisms that caused most of the fatal diseases of his day... germs.

In much the same way, scientists today have reached beyond the microscopic world they know, to the sub-atomic... the very core of matter and existence. Such exploration has given rise to the latest paradigm of life and death, health and disease... that of degeneration.

In the human body, it is at the cellular level that degeneration takes place, and it is this process that leads to the many life-threatening diseases we now face in our industrialized societies. One cause... many diverse consequences... many life-threatening diseases.

Over 30 years of medical research has revealed that intensive free radical activity represents a major cell-damaging factor that is implicated in every degenerative disease of our time.

ANTIOXIDANTS: THE CURE?

Research has shown conclusively that the higher the intake of antioxidants, the lower the risk of disease (and vice versa).

“There is no question that vitamins can help to prevent cancer...”

Dr Charles Simone, Cancer and Nutrition: A Guide to Reducing the Risk of Cancer

Antioxidants lessen free radical damage. To date, studies have identified more than 60 health conditions that may be prevented or treated with antioxidant supplementation, and the list grows daily. A new medical model is emerging, that considers the presence of any one of these diseases a sign of probable antioxidant deficiency, in the same way that scurvy is a sign of Vitamin C deficiency. In the future we may be tested for blood levels of antioxidant nutrients, alongside blood sugar, cholesterol and blood pressure. Capable of predicting your biological age and expected life span, your antioxidant nutrient status may prove to be your most vital statistic.

Oxygen is the basis of all plant and animal life. It is our most important nutrient, needed by every cell every second of every day. Without it we cannot release the energy in food which drives all body processes. However, oxygen is chemically reactive and highly dangerous. In normal biochemical reactions, oxygen can become unstable and capable of oxidizing neighboring molecules. This can lead to cellular damage, triggering cancer, inflammation, arterial damaging and ageing. Known as free oxidizing radicals, this equivalent of nuclear waste must be disarmed to remove the danger.

Free radicals are made in all combustion processes, including smoking, exhaust fumes, radiation, fried or barbecued food and normal body processes. Chemicals capable of disarming free radicals are called
