During Passover week Don Imus became infamous for more
than just being an obnoxious loudmouth.
He can now add to his titles “notorious racist”. The
The

On
Tuesday night, April 3rd, in the NCAA women’s basketball
championship game they [the Scarlet Knights women’s team] were by no
means soliciting prostitution and omitting their perspiration from playing the
game they appeared about as well groomed as they were during their televised
news conference. One thing brothers
know is; you don’t call a sister “nappy
headed” and you never call her a “whore”,
even if it’s true. There used
to be a certain respect thang that
real brothers had for sisters prior to misogynistic rap music, down-low
brothers and openly sapphic sisters that look like effeminate boys. Somewhere along our exodus we’ve
lost some of that “old school” self-respect. Don Imus stepped into the middle of
family business and showed his arrogance, ignorance and racism by committing
two “don’t go there” offences
in one breath.
The
oddest thing about the discussions brought about because of the Imus racial
slur is that the media was able to find so-called African-Americans willing to
state that they supported Don Imus’ right to make racist statements as a
form of “free speech”.
These sycophants come from the Hip-Hop community (which originally came
on the scene as anti-establishment Bohemians) and from among university
professors.
Freedom
of speech does not give an individual or the media the right to defame,
slander, or disrespect another person or group of people, especially when the
person or group that is the object of ridicule has been governmentally,
institutionally, politically and socially discriminated against as a policy of
the state.
True
free speech is the “speech” that YIHOVAH has been making to the
Nation of Yisrael to flee the land of the enemy and prepare your heart to
return unto HIM and to HIS land that HE gave to our forefathers and that is our
inheritance. The free speech of
YIHOVAH has been ignored by Yisrael and mankind in general; but listen to the
unusual weather patterns around the world, listen to the unnatural same sex
acts between men, as well as women that is abhorred by YIHOVAH but accepted by
society; listen to the pestilence, disease and plagues that YIHOVAH has sent
among the nations; listen to the war and evil that men do in the name of false
gods. The FINAL WORD will be
YIHOVAH’s!!!
“And
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.”

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

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.

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

“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.
