A
MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT OF
THE LAWKEEPERS, CO.:
TOP TEN (10) REASONS WHY GEORGE W.
BUSH WAS RE-SELECTED PRESIDENT OF
AMERICA
10. New Voters, No hanging
“Chads”, Same Electoral College, and fifty-nine million Dumb Americans that call
themselves “Evangelical Christians”.
9. Because all of the
Haliburton billion dollar contracts with the U.S. government have not expired
yet.
8. Because “Evangelical Christians” believe
that Mel Gibson’s film “The Passion of the Christ” is a documentary on the life
of a god and Fahrenheit 911 is fictional propaganda produced by Michael More and
other “evil doers”.
7. So George W. Bush can be the
President to repeal “The voting rights act of 1965”.
6. So Secretary of State Colin Powell
and National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice can come to their senses and
resign before it’s too late.
5. The North Koreans have their own
nuclear defense capability and Iran’s not far behind.
4. Because the U.S. is the last
dynasty of European decent on the face of the earth and “King George II” is
intended to keep it like that.
3. So the Israeli’s can continue to
control seventy-eight percent (78%) of Canaan, and now that Yassar Arafat is
dead the Israeli’s can invade the other twenty-two percent (22%) of the land
searching for WMD’s and liberate the Palestinians.
2. So Evangelical Christians can save
the Jews and usher in the Kingdom of their false god jc.
1. Yisraelites don’t vote………….YIHOVAH
is our deliverer and David is our King.
And saviours shall come up
on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau;
and the kingdom shall be the
LORD's.

Tribute to the New Moon Revised:

shall your seed and your name remain.
“And it shall come to pass,
that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all
flesh come to worship before me,
saith the LORD.”

START THE NEXT NEW MOON WATCH ON THE EVENINGS OF
<<<NOVEMBER 12,13,14, 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.
And just for the record, the CREATOR gave the sun,
moon, and stars to “man” for LIGHTS during the day and
night:
“Thus saith the LORD, which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The LORD of hosts is his name:” Jeremiah 31:35
We have a wonderful GOD that gave us everything for our needs. We’re just too unapprised to realize it and too into our own imaginations to change.
***
“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.”

SOME QUESTIONS TO PONDER:
When the Holy ONE of Israel began to
scatter the rebellious and sinful Israelites, HE only banished the Ten Tribes
whom HE called the House of Israel.
Why didn’t the GOD of Israel also send the House of Judah into exile with
the Ten Tribes?

INFORMATION AND HINTS FOR HARDY, HEALTHY HEBREWS:
READERS, after you peruse the following article on Genetically Modified Foods, you might understand the need for us to have our own farm – yes, that’s right, OUR OWN FARM! More articles will follow on this very important topic in the next edition.
***
CONCERN GROWS
OVER
In January this year, a
researcher at the Rowett Research Institute in Scotland said of genetically
modified food, "If left to me, I would
certainly not eat it. We are putting new things into food which would have not
been eaten before. The effects on the immune system are not easily predictable
and I challenge anyone who will say that the effects are
predictable."
On the basis of his recent research, the
scientist concerned, Dr. Arpad Pusztai, repeated the warnings on the TV program
World In Action on August 10. The
next day, the director of the Rowett Research Institute ordered an
investigation. Within days the director announced that he had impounded Dr.
Pusztai's data and Dr. Pusztai was going to retire.
Dr. Pusztai is a world authority
in plant chemicals research and has worked for 35 years at the institute,
publishing 270 scientific papers. He
strongly believes in the benefits that genetic modification can bring to
humanity, but says biotechnology companies are introducing the new technology
too quickly and with insufficient research.
Scientists first discovered the technique of genetic modification in the 1970s. It has great potential and is moving ahead very rapidly. Robb Fraley, co-president at Monsanto, one of the biggest biotechnology companies, said, "We are at the beginning of an industry transformation that in a few years will be looked at as greater than the computer revolution." Two years ago modified soya comprised just 2 percent of the US soya market. By the year 2000 it will reach 80 percent.
The development of genetics and
similar technologies has revolutionised mankind's understanding of the structure
of the gene. The cost of unravelling this structure today is just $150 compared
to $2.5 million in the mid 1970s. As a
result, researchers have established the genetic map of many organisms and can
transfer genetic material from one organism to another relatively
easily.
It is now possible to breed, virtually overnight, plants and animals with improved nutritional and health benefits to humans. This compares to the thousands of years it has taken to breed the familiar varieties we see today. Scientists can insert genes from one organism into another to produce, for example, extra vitamins, less fat and substances that are
