yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee.

Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands;

A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE LAWKEEPERS, CO.:

 

ALL PRAISES BE TO THE MOST HIGH YIHOVAH,

ELOHIM OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC, AND JACOB

PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME

FOR HE IS WORTHY TO BE PRAISED!!!

 

 

THE LAWKEEPERS, CO.

 

The LawKeepers Co. is a federally recognized non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation as designated by the Internal Revenue Service of the United States Department of the Treasury.  The Corporation was officially re-organized as a New York state corporation in May 2002 and received the Employer Identification Number (EIN) 76-0703028 in June 2002.  Finally, the corporation received an “advanced ruling” for its 501(c)(3) status on May 23rd 2003. 

 

As required by the United Nations (UN), in September 2005, two years subsequent to receiving its 501(c)(3) designation; The LawKeepers Co submitted its application to become a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) member to the UN.  Final determination on the NGO application by the UN is expected by April 2007.  NGO status with the UN allows its member institutions equal opportunity to participate in UN related discussions on issues affecting minority groups throughout the world.  

 

The requirement to maintain the status of exemption from Federal income tax under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code is that the corporation must complete federal tax Form 8734 “Support Schedule for Advance Ruling Period” and Form 990 “Return of Organization Exempt From Income Tax”.

 

As the President of The LawKeepers, Co., it is my responsibility to see to it that these forms are filed within the required time period in order for The LawKeepers, Co. to maintain its 501(c)(3) exempt status.  Basically Form 8734 and 990 report all incomes, expense items, as well as any assets and liabilities of the corporation.

 

The required reporting period for the corporation is 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006.  A non-profit organization is required to file Form 8734 at the conclusion of its “advanced ruling period” if it is a “newly created organization,” The LawKeepers, Co. “advanced ruling period” ended on December 31, 2006.  Form 990 is required to be filed by a not-for-profit organization when “annual gross receipts are normally more than $25,000”.

 

In the past, the corporation has received donations from contributors in the U.S. and abroad every year since receiving 501(c)(3) status but never has the corporation’s receipts from donors totaled $25,000, $10,000 or not even $2000 in any single year.  In addition, the cumulative donations to the corporation since receiving 501(c)(3) designation have been no where near the IRS required amount for reporting contributions.

 

The LawKeepers’ Co. website informs the general public and Yisraelites specifically what the “Mission” of the organization is, what the “Purpose” of the organization is, what the “Goals” of the organization are, what the “Objectives” of the organization are and finally “What We [The LawKeepers] Believe.” 

 

The LawKeepers, Co. remains committed to its “reason for being” as stated in the preceding paragraph and on our WebSite, and we invite all potential donors to make a tax deductible contribution so that we will meet the requirements for filing our Form 990 annually. As a “publicly supported organization” the LawKeepers, Co. must complete and file Form 8734 and Form 990 with the IRS; for public information the forms will also be posted to our [The LawKeepers] WebSite.  Thank you.

 

“Behold, I will gather them out of all countries, whither I have driven them in mine anger, and in my fury, and in great wrath; and I will bring them again unto this place, and I will cause them to dwell safely: And they shall be my people, and I will be their God: And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me for ever, for the good of them, and of their children after them: And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; but I will put my fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me. Yea, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart and with my whole soul. For thus saith the LORD; Like as I have brought all this great evil upon this people, so will I bring upon them all the good that I have promised them. And fields shall be bought in this land, whereof ye say, It is desolate without man or beast; it is given into the hand of the Chaldeans. Men shall buy fields for money, and subscribe evidences, and seal them, and take witnesses in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, and in the cities of the mountains, and in the cities of the valley, and in the cities of the south: for I will cause their captivity to return, saith the LORD.”   Jeremiah 32:37 - 44

Tribute to the New Moon Revised:

 

The service of this solar/lunar calendar of TORAH READINGS is by definition using the “LIGHTS” of the sun and moon, according to Genesis 1:14, to number the “days” of each month.  And the dark phases of the moon cooperatively and conveniently provide a break between the months.  If there were no dark phases of the moon, we would have a tough time determining when one month ended and when another would begin.  Hence, because the Commandment is to use the “Lights” in the Heavens for “Signs” for seasons, days, and years, the New Moon Crescent is what provides us with our first lights of each new month and these lights continue waxing and waning until they are diminished to the dark phases.  And then in two to three days, the New Moon Crescent reappears again starting the First Day of another new month.

 

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 New Moon Crescent reappears, thus, we understand the concept of having a New moon. 

 

If the dark phase of the moon begins the First Day of the month, then when the New Moon Crescent is “Sighted” that could approximately be as far into the month as the Fourth Day, i.e., the appearance of the “Light” in the Heavens could possibly fall on the Fourth Day.  It makes no sense to start to count the first dark phase of the moon as being the First Day of the month, as this process disregards the use of the “Light” in the Heavens to determine our “days,” as we are Commanded to do in Genesis 1:14.  Consider what King David said in I Samuel 20:24:  “…when the New Moon was come…”  He had to be speaking about the New Moon Crescent, as we are unable to “Sight” the appearance of the dark phase or rather see it “come.” 

 

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.”

START THE NEXT NEW MOON WATCH ON THE EVENINGS OF

 

<<<FEBRUARY 17,18,19, 2007>>>

 

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. 

 

***

 

“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!  Even if the Moon shines 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

A Tribute to GOD’s “HOLY” Seventh Day Sabbath of Complete REST - HIS WEEKLY ANNIVERSARY OBSERVANCE and SIGN between HIM and Israelites for HIS CREATION of the Heavens and the Earth:

 

 

“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 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

 

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 Israel DOES NOT contradict HIMSELF!  HE would not COMMAND us to “Rest” on the Sabbath Day of Rest and also Command us to “abide ye every man in your place on the seventh day,” and then confuse us by telling us to “assemble” on the “rest of the holy sabbath unto the LORD.”  This would make absolutely no sense whatsoever.  Therefore, if the Holy ONE of Israel said don’t bear a burden on the Sabbath Day of Rest (Jeremiah 17:21,22) and that our asses (used for travel) had to also rest, then for sure we have to “abide in our places…on the seventh day.”  Thus, using our cars and paying tolls and public transportation on GOD’s Holy Seventh Day of Rest is absolutely forbidden!  And walking to the Temple or to any meeting place was and still is out of the question all because GOD’s Seventh Day is specifically to be kept as a DAY of  “COMPLETE REST” - Shabatone (as is written in Hebrew).

 

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 “HolySeventh 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:

“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:

then the seed of Israel also shall cease

from being a nation before me for ever.”

QUESTIONS ON “OLD TESTAMENT” BIBLE TRIVIA TO PONDER:

 

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

 

In this verse, GOD uses the term “escaped of the house of Jacob.”  How can this be explained, since we know that Our GOD will cause Israel’s return to the land of our heritage.

 

Please keep in mind that we are also directed to “Flee” (Jeremiah 50:16; 50:28; 51:6).

 

***

 

“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 10:22

 

Why is it that only a Remnant will return?  Is it because many Israelites will not take heed to GOD’s Commandment to “Flee” (Jeremiah 51:6), is it because Israelites will not obey all the WORDS of GOD’s LAW (Deuteronomy 30:1 – 3 and Deuteronomy 27:26), or is it for both of these reasons?

THE BENEFITS OF EATING PINEAPPLE

As we become more active (and as we age), aches, pains and strains may arise. What we eat can profoundly improve our health and healing. We can help our body repair itself and increase our sense of well-being by eating fresh pineapples. These tropical delights have many health benefits. Learn about how pineapples are a natural anti-inflammatory agent with abundant Vitamin C, how to pick a fresh pineapple which has the most active nutrients including bromelain and how to make a wonderful "Tropical Fruit Smoothie"

A natural anti-inflammatory agent

Want to give your body a boost in health and healing? Then you may want to add some fresh pineapple and pineapple juice to your diet. Pineapples are nutritionally packed members of the bromeliad family. This delightful tropical fruit is high in the enzyme bromelain and the antioxidant vitamin C, both of which plays a major role in the body's healing process.

Bromelain is a natural anti-inflammatory that has many health benefits and encourages healing. According to Dr. Andrew Weil, bromelain is very effective in treating bruises, sprains and strains by reducing swelling, tenderness and pain. This powerful anti-inflammatory effect can also help relieve rheumatoid arthritis symptoms and reduce postoperative swelling. Additionally, the bromelain contained in fresh pineapple can relieve indigestion. This enzyme helps break down the amino acid bonds in proteins, which promotes good digestion.

Vitamin C is an antioxidant

Pineapples provide an ample supply of vitamin C too, a commonly known antioxidant that protects the body from free radical damage and boosts the immune system. Vitamin C helps build and repair bodily tissue and promotes wound healing. The body uses vitamin C to help metabolize fats and cholesterol, absorb iron, and synthesize amino acids and collagen. Collagen is one of the primary building blocks of skin, cartilage and bones. Vitamin C also decreases the severity of colds and infections.

Furthermore, due to its high vitamin C content, pineapples are good for your oral health as well. A study conducted at the State University of New York at Buffalo found that vitamin C can reduce your risk of gingivitis and periodontal disease. Besides increasing the ability of connective tissue to repair itself, vitamin C also increases the body's ability to fight invading bacteria and other toxins that contribute to gum disease. Periodontal disease, which destroys gum tissue and underlying jaw bones, has been linked to heart disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes.

Choose Fresh Pineapple

So if you want a natural way to enhance your body's healing mechanisms, promote overall good health and tantalize your taste buds, pineapples are the way to go. Choose the fresh fruit because it has the most healing properties. Unfortunately, most of the bromelain in canned pineapple is destroyed due to the heat used in the canning process.

  • When choosing a fresh pineapple, do not judge ripeness solely based upon color.
  • There are several varieties on the market that range from green to golden yellow.
  • The most important factor in determining ripeness is smell, let your nose help you decide.
  • Ripe pineapples give off a sweet, fresh tropical smell. Avoid pineapples that give off an unpleasant odor or have any soft spots or areas of dark discoloration.
  •  Once home, let the pineapple sit on your counter at room temperature until ready to use. This will preserve its sweet and tangy flavor.

Preparing Fresh Pineapple

  • To prepare pineapple, you need to peel it, remove the eyes (the thorny protrusions within the puffy squares of the skin) and the fibrous center.
  • First, cut off the top and bottom of the pineapple with a sharp knife. Place the pineapple upright on a cutting board and carefully slice off the outer skin.
  • With a sharp paring knife or the end if a vegetable peeler, remove the eyes. Don't cut too deep, just enough to lift out the section that contains the eye. Then, remove the fibrous core.
  • One way to do this is to cut the pineapple lengthwise into 4 wedges (quarter it) and cut around the fibrous center core.
  • Another popular way is to slice the pineapple crosswise and remove the cores individually with a cookie cutter.
  • Once the fruit is prepared, it can be diced and eaten fresh, added to salads and entrees for an exotic flavor, or made into tasty tropical drinks.

[It was my husband who had read an article about “curry” and shared the information with me.  He was so impressed that he, on his own, went and bought two bottles of it.  I had not seen the article, but if it was the one that Renelamar circulated below, then I understand why he made a bee line to the store to buy it.  T.Y., Editor]

 

 

CURRY POWDER,

INDIA’S SPECIAL SPICE


India produces nearly all the world's turmeric, and consumes 80% of that crop. Clearly, Turmeric is rather uniquely Indian, as perhaps no other foodstuff is. If we are to look for the reason that India has such low Alzheimers Disease rates, we must consider everything that is uniquely Indian. Therefore, we must consider Turmeric. In fact, the plentiful scientific research being done on curcumin, an extract of turmeric, in the last few years is exploring myriad aspects of this compound.


Turmeric is a deep yellow-to-orange powder that comes from rhizomes that are of the ginger family (Zingiberaceae). The rhizomes are boiled for hours, dried for days or weeks, then powdered. Very complete discussions of the nature, production and benefits of the spice can be found at the Links in the right column of this page, especially the FAO link.


Curry powder, though it varies in its ingredients, always contains turmeric as a major constituent. If one wishes to add turmeric to one's diet, there are many, many recipes that include it --- one has only to search the Internet or one's library for Indian cook books. One of the best all-Asian cookbooks is by Charmaine Solomon, The Complete Asian Cookbook, available from Amazon and other online booksellers.


Though the current research focuses on curcumin, the entire group of spices usually included in curry powder have been touted for centuries as being good for the "braynes". And those "in the know" from India say that it is much better to take whole turmeric than to take the extracted curcumin.

Using Turmeric in the American Home


Indians I speak with, including pharmacists, all say that the natural turmeric, from which health-food-store "curcumin" is a derivative, is far better for the health than "curcumin." I tend to think along those lines myself. The word "curcumin" itself is problematic, as it has many definitions currently in use. It simply means "turmeric" in several languages. As a chemical term, it can indicate several different compounds, though these may or may not be used accurately. In the health food store, it costs about $20 for a small bottle, while turmeric is very inexpensive.


To use powdered turmeric, I put it in a parmesan-cheese shaker (for large holes) and just sprinkle it into foods I'm cooking, especially meat and eggs. Indians mix a teaspoon of it in a glass of milk and drink it --- I've tried this several times, and it tastes fine. This gives me a pervasive good feeling.


Mix turmeric powder and olive oil or cooking oil to make a thick paste. Put on the skin over wounds, bites, bruises, etc. Cover with bandage and leave on several hours. It washes off and color disappears quickly. If you have a toothache, paint this on your face over the toothache, and it goes away, my Indian friends tell me; I haven't tried this, exactly. Don't use this inside the mouth, however. I tried doing it that way, on a sore tooth I had a couple years ago. It really healed the sore tooth very quickly, but caused a reaction in my mouth that lasted several days.


Of course, curry powders almost always have turmeric as the chief ingredient, and this is a great way to get some into you.

 

You can buy powdered turmeric in American supermarkets. If you get it in a bottle in the spice section of the market, it will cost you some bucks. If you look for the section of spices that are in clear envelopes, it should cost under a dollar. In Indian markets, you get much more for your money, naturally.


If you have an Indian market near you, you can also get the fresh turmeric root, which has brown skin with orange interior, and is a cousin of ginger. Peel a few of the finger-sized pieces of it, cut
into 1/2 inch lengths or so, and place in water with some fresh lemon juice to cover the pieces of turmeric root. Keep refrigerated, and eat a piece now and then. Keeps several weeks or months.

Turmeric is truly a versatile food and nutritional supplement as well.

Effects and Benefits of Turmeric


To Traditional Ayurvedics, Turmeric is seen as an excellent natural antibiotic, while at the same time it strengthens digestion and helps improve intestinal flora. As such it is a good anti-bacterial for those chronically weak or ill. It's (sic) not only purifies the blood, but also warms it and stimulates formation of new blood tissue. Turmeric gives the energy of the divine mother and grants prosperity. It is effective for cleansing the chakras (nadi-shodhana), purifying the channels of the subtle body. It helps stretch the ligaments and is, therefore, good for the practice of hatha yoga. Turmeric promotes proper metabolism in the body, correcting both excesses and deficiencies. It aids in the digestion of protein. Externally, it can be used with honey for sprains, strains, bruise or itch. It is tonic to the skin, for which purpose it can be taken internally as a milk decoction. Turmeric is aromatic and a stimulant and has many helpful functions. It is bitter, slightly pungent and a good blood purifier, and works as a tonic to aid digestion and relieve congestion. It has a soothing action on respiratory ailments such as cough and asthma. It also is antiarthritic and acts as a natural anti-bacterial. Turmeric may be added to high-protein food to assist digestion and prevent the formation of gas. It is effectively used to maintain the flora of the large intestine.

Supplements: Turmeric


In animal studies and in one human trial published in 1992, turmeric also showed promise in lowering cholesterol levels and fighting atherosclerosis, a buildup of fatty deposits in the arteries that can lead to heart attack. Preliminary tests even indicate that curcumin can inhibit the replication of HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. More research in this area is clearly needed before any specific recommendations can be made.


Today, turmeric is widely recommended for myriad diseases, from stomach ulcers and skin infections to eye conditions (such as chronic anterior uveitis). ... when it's applied as a paste, it may well eliminate scabies, an itchy skin condition caused by parasitic mites.


In laboratory and small animal studies, curcumin has been found to hinder the growth of errant cells associated with cancer of the breast, skin, and colon, as well as lymphoma. In a small but interesting 1992 clinical trial of 16 cigarette smokers, those taking 1.5 grams of turmeric a day for 30 days had a significantly lower level of mutagens (in the urine) than a control group consisting of six nonsmokers.

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!

THE  GREATEST  “SPOIL”  OF  ALL

 

The Israelites received Reparations for their free labor when they left out of Egypt (Exodus 12:35,36, Psalm 105:37).   Note also that Reparations were given to Ezra for the building of GOD’s Temple and for the service of the House of the LORD GOD of Israel (Ezra 7:12 –21).  And it is prophesied that we will again receive compensation for our free labor and bondage in this modern-day Egypt (all the lands that took Israelites captive):

 

“The Lord said, Verily it shall be well with thy remnant; verily I will cause the enemy to entreat thee well in the time of evil and in the time of affliction.”   Jeremiah 15:11

EDITORIAL  PERSPECTIVE:

 

 AND THOU SHALT GLORIFY ME!

 

“Now will I rise, saith the LORD; now will I be exalted; now will I lift up myself.

 

Hear, ye that are far off, what I have done; and, ye that are near, acknowledge my might.”

Isaiah 33:10,13

 

“I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another,

neither my praise to graven images.”

Isaiah 42:8

 

“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 22:23

 

“And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.

 

Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright

will I shew the salvation of God.”

Psalm 50:15,23

 

“All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord;

and shall glorify thy name.

 

I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart:

and I will glorify thy name for evermore.”

Psalm 86:9,12

 

“But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me,

that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness,

in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD.”

Jeremiah 9:24

 

 

                                                                                                                                    January 24, 2007

 

Only those who know and Fear the CREATOR GOD of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob can and will Glorify HIM and do HIS pleasure.  And we will see this Light upon all GOD’s People  - the Righteous Remnant, the Great Nation of Israel - for they will shine representing HIM and HIS Ways of Righteousness. 

 

“Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.”   Isaiah 60:1 – 3

 

Constantly, I write about the CREATOR’s Wondrous Works and the One Way of Righteousness that HE also formed for the peoples HE Created.  Why?  The reason is simple.  The CREATOR’s Righteousness is FOREVER!  It is unchanging, constant, cannot be compromised, and it represents life to those who embrace it.  But be that as it may, the Nation of Israel cast this Wondrous Way of Life behind their backs for false gods and for ways not ordained by the CREATOR GOD.  This was the sin, shame, and gross mistake of all Israel when they were a strong and awesome Empire established by their All-Mighty GOD of Abraham and Moses.  How can we explain their actions and the actions of Israelites today who not only reject the Holy ONE and HIS LAW, but don’t want to hear about HIM or HIS Paths of Righteousness, either?  Why would our forefathers forsake the CREATOR GOD that Delivered them out of captivity and then gave them everything needed to live in a true heaven on Earth?  How could they have been so foolish?

 

Five things Israelites and the rest of the world must realize and accept for they are inevitable:  We are going to Glorify, Magnify, and Exalt the CREATOR GOD and none other, all the world will acknowledge HIS Paths of Righteousness, and every knee will bow to HIM.  The CREATOR has proven HIMSELF above and beyond, multiple times in the “Old Testament,” and to no avail.  Israelites, unto this day, prefer to ignore HIS efforts to make them, the SEED of Jacob, HIS Holy People.

 

Consider all the plagues, the Signs, and Wonders the CREATOR GOD of Israel performed to prove HIS Love for HIS Covenant People.  Consider how HE Delivered them out of a 430-year captivity.  Consider how the Israelites “cried out unto the LORD when the Egyptians marched after them, and how the Holy ONE of Israel seized this moment to save HIS People and to “get me honor upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host.”  Consider how our forefathers, the Children of Israel, watched as the “LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.”  And be ashamed and confounded, as we read over and over again about how our wicked forbears, who witnessed all that the Holy ONE of Israel did for them, had Aaron to build them a golden calf and to claim that this image “…be thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.”  With our history of defiance and iniquity, there is no wonder why some of us still worship false gods and remain rebellious to the CREATOR GOD and to HIS Divine and Perfect LAW unto this latter day.  What could they have been thinking to do such a thing?  Did they never think of how their GOD would feel about their actions?

 

Another segment of our past that absolutely baffles me concerns the Late Great King Solomon.  With all his wisdom, wealth, and fame that the GOD of Israel bestowed upon King Solomon, why would he turn from this Powerful and Loving GOD that chose and made him the great king that he was?  Why, why, why?  I cannot understand how he could even think to worship a false god, given all the power, prosperity, and authority GOD bestowed upon him. 

 

Also, how is it that when guided by the Holy ONE of Israel and under HIS outstanding protection that our forefathers would successfully overtake Gentiles and destroy them and would then foolishly turn to the false gods of these heathens to bow down to them?  How could this happen given the fact that it was the GOD of Israel that gave them the victory over their enemies and over their idols, proving them to be futile and unable to save those who believed in them?  What could they have been thinking to forsake the GOD of Israel for a false god that couldn’t save itself and much less save those who believed in it? 

 

“And it shall come to pass, when thou shalt shew this people all these words, and they shall say unto thee, Wherefore hath the LORD pronounced all this great evil against us? or what is our iniquity? or what is our sin that we have committed against the LORD our God? Then shalt thou say unto them, Because your fathers have forsaken me, saith the LORD, and have walked after other gods, and have served them, and have worshipped them, and have forsaken me, and have not kept my law;”   Jeremiah 16:10,11

 

Looking back on the great sins of our forefathers never ceases to astound me, especially given the fact that the CREATOR GOD of Israel kept every last promise HE made to our forefathers – Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob/Israel. 

 

“Blessed be the LORD, that hath given rest unto his people Israel, according to all that he promised: there hath not failed one word of all his good promise, which he promised by the hand of Moses his servant.”   I Kings 8:56

 

“For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham his servant. And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness:  And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited the labour of the people; That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise ye the LORD.”   Psalm 105:42 – 45

 

“Therefore thou shalt love the LORD thy God, and keep his charge, and his statutes, and his judgments, and his commandments, alway.

 

“…your eyes have seen all the great acts of the LORD which he did.  Therefore shall ye keep all the commandments which I command you this day, that ye may be strong, and go in and possess the land, whither ye go to possess it;”   Deuteronomy 11:7,8

 

But sadly and shamefully, our forefathers rejected GOD’s LAW and broke every oath, promise, and charge they made to the CREATOR GOD of Israel.

 

“And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and served Baalim: And they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, which brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the people that were round about them, and bowed themselves unto them, and provoked the LORD to anger.”   Judges 2:11,12

 

“And it came to pass, when the judge was dead, that they returned, and corrupted themselves more than their fathers, in following other gods to serve them, and to bow down unto them; they ceased not from their own doings, nor from their stubborn way. And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel; and he said, Because that this people hath transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not hearkened unto my voice; I also will not henceforth drive out any from before them of the nations which Joshua left when he died: That through them I may prove Israel, whether they will keep the way of the LORD to walk therein, as their fathers did keep it, or not.”   Judges 2:19 - 22

 

Oftentimes, I think about the response Reuben, Gad, and the Half Tribe of Manasseh gave Joshua when he reminded them of what they had to do, before they could take the land East of the Jordan River that Moses had promised them: 

 

“Remember the word which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, saying, The LORD your God hath given you rest, and hath given you this land.  Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle, shall remain in the land which Moses gave you on this side Jordan; but ye shall pass before your brethren armed, all the mighty men of valour, and help them; Until the LORD have given your brethren rest, as he hath given you, and they also have possessed the land which the LORD your God giveth them: then ye shall return unto the land of your possession, and enjoy it, which Moses the LORD'S servant gave you on this side Jordan toward the sunrising.”   Joshua 1:13 - 15

 

This is what Reuben, Gad, and the Half Tribe of Manasseh replied to Joshua:

 

“And they answered Joshua, saying, All that thou commandest us we will do, and whithersoever thou sendest us, we will go. According as we hearkened unto Moses in all things, so will we hearken unto thee: only the LORD thy God be with thee, as he was with Moses.”  

Joshua 1:16,17

 

We must be just as concerned and just as circumspect, as we strive to follow GOD’s Walk of Life.

 

“Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go to possess it: That thou mightest fear the LORD thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged. Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath promised thee, in the land that floweth with milk and honey.”  

Deuteronomy 6:1 – 3

 

But more importantly, we have to know what it means to FEAR the CREATOR GOD to do HIS Will!!!  We have to know what this means, and the reason is because FEARING the Holy ONE of Israel should be ingrained in our heart and in our soul!  When we FEAR Our GOD of Israel, we are more apt to live by HIS Walk of Life – the Book of the Law HE gave to HIS Servant Moses to teach to the Children of Israel.

 

“Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life: but teach them thy sons, and thy sons' sons;  Specially the day that thou stoodest before the LORD thy God in Horeb, when the LORD said unto me, Gather me the people together, and I will make them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me all the days that they shall live upon the earth, and that they may teach their children.”   Deuteronomy 4:9,10

 

“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

 

“And he said, The LORD came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir unto them; he shined forth from mount Paran, and he came with ten thousands of saints: from his right hand went a fiery law for them.”   Deuteronomy 33:2

 

We, all the SEED of Jacob, should know that Our SAVIOR GOD of Israel would also be with us TODAY, IF we will sustain ONLY HIM, as Our GOD, and FEAR HIM to be obedient to HIM with our whole heart, soul, and might.  And this should not just be the concern of our leaders but the concern of all Israel, as well – all twelve (12) Tribes.  We have an Awesome GOD that loves us, and that wants to make us happy, if we will let HIM, and wants to bring peace and prosperity to our lives and to HIS Holy Land and Holy City, Jerusalem, IF we will only do ALL that HE REQUIRES of us.

 

“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,

 

Only the LORD had a delight in thy fathers to love them, and he chose their seed after them, even you above all people, as it is this day.

 

For the LORD your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God, a mighty, and a terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward:”   Deuteronomy 10:12,15,17

 

“Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:  And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:”   Deuteronomy 6:4 - 6

 

“…the LORD shall scatter you among the nations, and ye shall be left few in number among the heathen, whither the LORD shall lead you. And there ye shall serve gods, the work of men's hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell. 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 4:27 - 31

 

We know who we are, and we know what’s written for us to do.  But can we even begin to imagine what it means for us to have OUR GOD of Israel on our side and fighting for us just as HE did for our forefathers?  Can we imagine what it is to behold HIS Mighty Hand working in our favor to save us out of this tribulation in the hands of our enemies?  Can we imagine how pleased Our GOD of Israel would be for us to join together to worship only HIM and make a pact (Covenant) to be absolutely obedient to HIS Book of the LAW?  Can we even imagine how much Our GOD of Israel would Bless us?  Can we imagine what it would be like to have Our GOD of Israel, the CREATOR of ALL things, living among us?  O Israel, can you imagine the Great Nation of Israel serving the GOD of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in Truth and in Righteousness and having it no other way?  These are instances of which I dream, to live in GOD’s Land flowing with Milk and Honey under HIS Love and protection.  Can you, O Israel, fathom such wonderment?  I can, easily.  However, this will only be a reality, if and when the LORD Our GOD of Israel will find us worthy.  We need Our GOD and unfortunately I know not the words to stress this point any more than I have.

 

“Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not arrogancy come out of your mouth: for the LORD is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.”   I Samuel 2:3

 

“For thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.

 

And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this isthe LORD; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.”   Isaiah 25:4,9

 

“O Israel, thou hast destroyed thyself; but in me is thine help. I will be thy king: where is any other that may save thee in all thy cities? and thy judges of whom thou saidst, Give me a king and princes?”   Hosea 13:9,10

 

Unbeknownst to many, the Holy ONE of Israel is working hard to show HIS People that HE is dealing with the wicked of this planet and doing everything to bring HIS People out of Darkness and to obedience to HIS LAW.  HE is showing us that HE is still the GOD of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob that HIS LAW still reigns supreme, and that we must be obedient to HIS LAW, if we ever expect to return to Our heritage.

 

“And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams. For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king.”   I Samuel 15:22,23

 

“I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings. But they like men have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me.”   Hosea 6:6,7

 

And because of our great transgressions and sins against Our GOD of Israel, we have paid dearly with losing our heritage and our lives.  We have served our enemies in their lands, exactly as Our GOD said would happen.  We are yet descendants of Slaves and enduring gross afflictions and savage injustices still, all because we will not be obedient to the WORD of Our GOD of Israel.

 

It stands to reason why Our GOD of Israel Commands us to CLEAVE to HIM and why we must also CLEAVE to HIS LAW!  HE is a Righteous and Holy GOD, and HE wants us to be a Righteous and Holy People.

 

“And ye shall be holy unto me: for I the LORD am holy, and have severed you from other people, that ye should be mine.”   Leviticus 20:26

 

“And what nation is there so great, that hath statutes and judgments so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?”   Deuteronomy 4:8

 

“This day the LORD thy God hath commanded thee to do these statutes and judgments: thou shalt therefore keep and do them with all thine heart, and with all thy soul. Thou hast avouched the LORD this day to be thy God, and to walk in his ways, and to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and to hearken unto his voice: And the LORD hath avouched thee this day to be his peculiar people, as he hath promised thee, and that thou shouldest keep all his commandments;”   Deuteronomy 26:16 – 18

 

There is none holy as the LORD: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God.”   I Samuel 2:2

 

“Thus saith the LORD, After this manner will I mar the pride of Judah, and the great pride of Jerusalem. This evil people, which refuse to hear my words, which walk in the imagination of their heart, and walk after other gods, to serve them, and to worship them, shall even be as this girdle, which is good for nothing.  For as the girdle cleaveth to the loins of a man, so have I caused to cleave unto me the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah, saith the LORD; that they might be unto me for a people, and for a name, and for a praise, and for a glory: but they would not hear.”   Jeremiah 13:9 – 11

 

“We have dealt very corruptly against thee, and have not kept the commandments, nor the statutes, nor the judgments, which thou commandedst thy servant Moses. Remember, I beseech thee, the word that thou commandedst thy servant Moses, saying, If ye transgress, I will scatter you abroad among the nations:”   Nehemiah 1:7,8

 

Everything but man obeys the CREATOR GOD – EVERYTHING BUT MAN!  The CREATOR gave the sun the Commandment to shine.  HE told the moon to shine and to establish seasons, days, and years.  He advised the Earth to rotate on its axis and orbit the sun in order that the land and peoples upon it will benefit from the sun’s warmth and daylight hours.  Did not GOD also advise mankind of what to do to enjoy lives free from sickness and strife on the Earth HE Created for them?  Oh yeah; HE sure did!  But only Noah and his family would listen.  Everyone else was destroyed in a Flood.  And today, because GOD’s Earth is in the hands of the heathen, resulting from the sins of the Israelites, all manner of false worship and ideals prevail and continue to arise, regardless of the fact that they are all fruitless attempts to give credence to a false man-god hoping to make this a better world. 

 

Only the CREATOR can improve life on this (HIS) Earth, and this can and will only be accomplished by Israelites and all mankind submitting to HIS Ways of Righteousness.  And the sooner we come to terms with this Truth, the sooner the CREATOR will remove all the plagues, catastrophes, disease, and misery from this once fabulous planet Earth that HE Created for all peoples.

 

“Then shalt thou say unto them, Because your fathers have forsaken me, saith the LORD, and have walked after other gods, and have served them, and have worshipped them, and have forsaken me, and have not kept my law; And ye have done worse than your fathers; for, behold, ye walk every one after the imagination of his evil heart, that they may not hearken unto me: Therefore will I cast you out of this land into a land that ye know not, neither ye nor your fathers; and there shall ye serve other gods day and night; where I will not shew you favour.”  

Jeremiah 16:11 – 13

 

King Jehoshaphat said, “…believe in the LORD your GOD, so shall ye be established;  believe HIS Prophets, so shall ye prosper” II Chronicles 20:20. 

 

“And there arose not a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face” Deuteronomy 34:10.

 

People seeking Truth should know that the GOD of Israel never let Samuel’s words fall to the ground, i.e., GOD let everything he said come to pass, but this was not the case with JC.

 

“And Samuel grew, and the LORD was with him, and did let none of his words fall to the ground.”   I Samuel 3:19

 

“And he said unto him, Behold now, there is in this city a man of God, and he is an honourable man; all that he saith cometh surely to pass: now let us go thither; peradventure he can shew us our way that we should go.”   I Samuel 9:6

 

Under these circumstances, people should question how the “New Testament” can let slip that JC lied, in that his words did fall to the ground, and still make him a “God” given his limitations.  No “Kingdom of God” materialized, and JC never went to the “Lost Sheep of the House of Israel” to whom he said he was sent.  Isn’t it strange that GOD “was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel,” but never protected the so-called “Son of God,” JC, who was, so says the “New Testament,” under the control of the Romans who murdered him on a cross.  Why would the CREATOR GOD expose JC to be a liar and not spare him, as HE protected Samuel?  The only answer that makes any sense is that the CREATOR GOD was not with him, period.  

 

To say that GOD let JC die for the sins of people who believe in him couldn’t be further from the GOD’s Truth.  You see, according to GOD’s WORD, the soul that sins will die, and once a righteous man turns from his Righteousness, then he is also doomed.  And since the Israelites would not turn from their evil and wicked ways, they were doomed – dispersed into “the four corners of the Earth.”

 

“And the LORD said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book.”   Exodus 32:33

 

“When the righteous turneth from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, he shall even die thereby. But if the wicked turn from his wickedness, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall live thereby. Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. O ye house of Israel, I will judge you every one after his ways.”   Ezekiel 33:18 - 20

 

When GOD cursed HIS Chosen/Covenant People into the hands of “heathens” HE gave these Gentiles rule over this world, and they claimed and acknowledged what they decided to be history and “politically correct.”  They then owned history and could be anyone in the past, even GOD’s Covenant People or whomsoever they chose.  And if and when they had no god, then they made one.  Thus, how Europeans usurped the name of the Children of Israel, why Arabia is now called Saudi Arabia, how a man can organize a religion and give credibility to it by imagining a so-called “Trinity” and have people believe in and worship these entities.  Thus is how the lands of the aborigines of the Western Hemisphere were renamed the Americas.  With the Nation of Israel under the curse, who can argue with the powers-that-be?  Who can successfully argue with this present Gentile, world system?  Only the CREATOR GOD!

 

Thus, we have no choice but to return to Our CREATOR GOD of Israel that formed the Heavens, Earth, mankind, and all things therein.  Israelites can be grateful that Our GOD of Israel hears our cries when we turn to HIM with our whole heart and soul.  HE did it in the past, and I have no doubts that HE is doing so now, otherwise I would not know my true identity, and I would not be turning to HIS LAW and worshipping HIM.

 

“And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.”   Exodus 2:24

 

“To morrow about this time I will send thee a man out of the land of Benjamin, and thou shalt anoint him to be captain over my people Israel, that he may save my people out of the hand of the Philistines: for I have looked upon my people, because their cry is come unto me.”  

I Samuel 9:16

 

“When Jacob was come into Egypt, and your fathers cried unto the LORD, then the LORD sent Moses and Aaron, which brought forth your fathers out of Egypt, and made them dwell in this place.”   I Samuel 12:8

 

“But when they in their trouble did turn unto the LORD God of Israel, and sought him, he was found of them.”   II Chronicles 15:4

 

“Therefore thou deliveredst them into the hand of their enemies, who vexed them: and in the time of their trouble, when they cried unto thee, thou heardest them from heaven; and according to thy manifold mercies thou gavest them saviours, who saved them out of the hand of their enemies.”   Nehemiah 9:27

 

This is the same GOD that saved the Nation of Israel out of Ancient Egypt, and the same GOD that also wrote a Righteous Walk of Life (ONE LAW) for Israelites and Gentiles to live and do in Righteousness. 

 

“One law shall be to him that is homeborn, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you.”   Exodus 12:49

 

“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:”   Deuteronomy 31:11,12

 

Wisdom is not only knowing that we must keep GOD’s LAW but also knowing that GOD is not a man.  HE Created man, and that is the difference in man and THE CREATOR GOD.

 

It was the CREATOR GOD of Israel that has gone to great lengths to prove that HE is not a man, but that HE ALONE is the All-Mighty, the CREATOR GOD of all things.  HE distinguishes HIMSELF from being the Created, the formation of man.  Hence, it is most important for us to know the difference in the CREATOR GOD and in man, for HE will not be compared to man, idol, or image or anything that HE has formed.

 

“And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.”   Genesis 2:7

 

“God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?”  

Numbers 23:19

 

“And the LORD spake unto you out of the midst of the fire: ye heard the voice of the words, but saw no similitude; only ye heard a voice.”   Deuteronomy 4:12

 

“Take ye therefore good heed unto yourselves; for ye saw no manner of similitude on the day that the LORD spake unto you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire: Lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image, the similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female,”   Deuteronomy 4:15,16

 

“And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent: for he is not a man, that he should repent.”   I Samuel 15:29

 

“For he remembered that they were but flesh; a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again.”   Psalm 78:39

 

“For who in the heaven can be compared unto the LORD? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the LORD?”   Psalm 89:6

 

“To whom then will ye liken God? or what likeness will ye compare unto him?”   Isaiah 40:18

 

“Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I the LORD, the first, and with the last; I am he.”   Isaiah 41:4

 

“I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.”   Isaiah 45:7

 

“To whom will ye liken me, and make me equal, and compare me, that we may be like?”   Isaiah 46:5

 

“Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I am he; I am the first, I also am the last. Mine hand also hath laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand hath spanned the heavens: when I call unto them, they stand up together.”   Isaiah 48:12,13

 

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.”   Isaiah 55:8,9

 

“Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.”   Jeremiah 17:5

 

“I will not execute the fierceness of mine anger, I will not return to destroy Ephraim: for I am God, and not man; the Holy One in the midst of thee: and I will not enter into the city.”   Hosea 11:9

 

When the CREATOR GOD of Israel says HE will act on a notion, HE means it and follows through with HIS WORD.  When HE told the Children of Israel to worship HIM and to live and do HIS LAW or be cursed into exile to serve their enemies, HE meant every single word HE uttered to them.  As we read this Message, we are yet under the curse, yet in our enemies’ lands, yet subject to their laws (which we had better observe and respect), and are yet controlled by their educational, social, political, and religious values.  Our GOD of Israel did not lie.  Because we rejected and defied HIM and worshipped strange gods, we yet pay the consequences for being disobedient.  The only thing that has changed is that HE has Mercifully given us one last opportunity to return to HIM.   HE has given us knowledge of our true identity and will once again prove Israel to see who will and who will not turn to HIM and HIS LAW.

 

Now, thousands of years later in our exile and captivity, we are again faced with choices, to know the CREATOR GOD and to learn HIS Ways of Righteousness to live and do with our whole heart and soul.  Also, we are again faced with an ultimatum, for Our GOD is yet Commanding us to return to HIM, HIS LAW, and our heritage or face the consequences.

 

“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.”   Deuteronomy 30:1 – 3

 

“Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.”   Isaiah 55:7

 

“I have sent also unto you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, Return ye now every man from his evil way, and amend your doings, and go not after other gods to serve them, and ye shall dwell in the land which I have given to you and to your fathers: but ye have not inclined your ear, nor hearkened unto me.”   Jeremiah 35:15

 

“It may be that the house of Judah will hear all the evil which I purpose to do unto them; that they may return every man from his evil way; that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin.

 

It may be they will present their supplication before the LORD, and will return every one from his evil way: for great is the anger and the fury that the LORD hath pronounced against this people.”   Jeremiah 36:3,7

 

“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 18:23,24

 

“Cut off the sower from Babylon, and him that handleth the sickle in the time of harvest: for fear of the oppressing sword they shall turn every one to his people, and they shall flee every one to his own land.

 

The voice of them that flee and escape out of the land of Babylon, to declare in Zion the vengeance of the LORD our God, the vengeance of his temple.”   Jeremiah 50:16,28

 

GOD’s UNDYING LOVE FOR HIS PEOPLE, ISRAEL

 

In all cases I, without fail, Magnify the Holy ONE of Israel and HIS LAW, but rarely do I expound on Our GOD’s undying love for HIS Covenant People, and that Israel must also love this Our Only SAVIOR with all our might and have HIM in our thoughts and in our heart at all times. 

 

Even though Israel committed all manner of the worst of all transgression, including forsaking the CREATOR for false gods made by man, Our CREATOR remembered Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and HIS Covenant HE made with them.  Our SAVIOR has always proven HIS Love for us, time and time again, even when we proved our rebelliousness against HIS Voice – HIS WORD and HIS Commandments!  After giving us the Land of Canaan, the Land flowing with Milk and Honey, Israel sinned endlessly.  But yet, countless times, Our GOD SAVED our forefathers from their enemies in keeping with being the GOD of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, HIS Memorial forever.   And truly, our punishment did not meet the abominable crimes we committed against HIM, for by right, we should have been completely destroyed, even in the Wilderness of Egypt.  But Moses reminded the Holy ONE of what HE had sworn to Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, to multiply their SEED as the stars of Heaven and to give them the Land that they would inherit “for ever.”

 

“And Moses besought the LORD his God, and said, LORD, why doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people, which thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power, and with a mighty hand?  Wherefore should the Egyptians speak, and say, For mischief did he bring them out, to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth? Turn from thy fierce wrath, and repent of this evil against thy people.  Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou swarest by thine own self, and saidst unto them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall inherit it for ever.”   Exodus 32:11 – 13

 

Yes, Our GOD of Israel had every right to wipe the Nation of Israel out of remembrance and off the face of the Earth.  But HE didn’t.  The reason HE didn’t is because HE yet loves us even though we have continuously defied HIM and sought after other gods – man-gods, the heavenly bodies, and gods that have no ability to save, speak, hear, or see.

 

“Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands. They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not: They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not: They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat. They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them. O Israel, trust thou in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.”   Psalms 115:4 – 9

 

“And I will establish my covenant with thee; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD: That thou mayest remember, and be confounded, and never open thy mouth any more because of thy shame, when I am pacified toward thee for all that thou hast done, saith the Lord GOD.”  

Ezekiel 16:62,63

 

Let us not forget that Our GOD of Israel loves us so much that HE named HIMSELF after the Patriarchs of the Nation of Israel all because of HIS Great Love HE has for us, HIS Covenant People.

 

“And 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

 

“For the LORD will not forsake his people for his great name's sake: because it hath pleased the LORD to make you his people.”   I Samuel 12:22

 

“Unto thee it was shewed, that thou mightest know that the LORD he is God; there is none else beside him. Out of heaven he made thee to hear his voice, that he might instruct thee: and upon earth he shewed thee his great fire; and thou heardest his words out of the midst of the fire. And because he loved thy fathers, therefore he chose their seed after them, and brought thee out in his sight with his mighty power out of Egypt;”   Deuteronomy 4:35 – 37

 

“But because the LORD loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the LORD brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt. Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;”   Deuteronomy 7:8,9

 

“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.”   Deuteronomy 7:11 – 13

 

“Only the LORD had a delight in thy fathers to love them, and he chose their seed after them, even you above all people, as it is this day.”   Deuteronomy 10:15

 

“Nevertheless the LORD thy God would not hearken unto Balaam; but the LORD thy God turned the curse into a blessing unto thee, because the LORD thy God loved thee.”   Deuteronomy 23:5

 

“Yea, he loved the people; all his saints are in thy hand: and they sat down at thy feet; every one shall receive of thy words.”   Deuteronomy 33:3

 

“Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life.”   Isaiah 43:4

 

“I have loved you, saith the LORD. Yet ye say, Wherein hast thou loved us? Was not Esau Jacob's brother? saith the LORD: yet I loved Jacob,”   Malachi 1:2

 

No other love can be compared to the CREATOR GOD’s proved Love and demonstration of Divine Devotion to HIS People, the Children of Israel.  All because HE yet chooses Israel even though some of us still choose false gods in view of the fact that we are in our enemies’ lands for forsaking HIM and for rejecting HIS Glorious LAW. 

 

Hopefully, some of us are the wiser and are able to reflect on all Our GOD has left for us to read and understand.  Our CREATOR GOD yet has a Great Plan for HIS People and for the world, if we will only learn from the transgressions of the Biblical Israelites that have this planet Earth in the worst turmoil it has ever endured.  We all need to be aware of the fact that the CREATOR GOD wants to bestow HIS Love and Blessings upon HIS People, Israel, but more emphatically, HE wants us to obey HIM, as evidence of our love for HIM.  Neither our forefathers nor we have devoted our lives to HIM and to doing HIS Will.  Therefore, it is time for us to show Our GOD that we will indeed return to HIM with our whole heart and soul and be HIS loving People HE has always longed for.  It may be but a Remnant of us saved, but we will give Our GOD the love and attention HE so much craves and deserves.  We cannot love HIM, as much as HE loves us, but we can give it a try!

 

Oh that our forefathers had realized how much Our GOD was devoted to them.  If only they had realized that HE lives and exists for HIS Chosen People, then maybe, just maybe they would not have turned to false god…just maybe…and maybe those who come into the knowledge of HIS Truth will act accordingly.

 

“Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go to possess it: That thou mightest fear the LORD thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged. Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath promised thee, in the land that floweth with milk and honey. Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:  And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:”   Deuteronomy 6:1 – 6

 

“Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;”   Deuteronomy 7:9

 

“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,”   Deuteronomy 10:12

 

“Therefore thou shalt love the LORD thy God, and keep his charge, and his statutes, and his judgments, and his commandments, alway.  And know ye this day: for I speak not with your children which have not known, and which have not seen the chastisement of the LORD your God, his greatness, his mighty hand, and his stretched out arm,”   Deuteronomy 11:1,2

 

“Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul. Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him.”   Deuteronomy 13:3,4

 

“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 30:6

 

“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 30:16

 

“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

 

There is hope for us, a people divided, brainwashed, and deceived and a people not in touch with reality and with the GOD’s Truth.  Yes, there is hope IF we will read what “Thus Saith the LORD” and accept HIS WORD to DO IT.  Let us consider that our tears flow and will continue to flow, if not today, then tomorrow for sure, as long as we are in our enemies’ lands.  And for those who have questions and who seek Truth, they should know that there are answers and solutions to our despair, and they stem from the CREATOR GOD, which is a Blessing for us all because with man, there is always, always another agenda, an ulterior motive, and/or self-serving interests and schemes that have no good end.  Therefore, let us read the WORD of GOD and await HIM to fulfill HIS Promises for the Nation of Israel, HIS Holy City Jerusalem, and for the Strangers who opt to turn to HIM to make HIM their GOD and SAVIOR, also.

 

Just as our forebears called upon the GOD of Israel because of their oppression, let us give Our GOD no rest until HE again will hear our cries in these day and will remember Abraham, as HE did many years ago.  We have a SAVIOR and it is past time for calling upon HIM as never before.  Things are happening, and they are all disastrous and deadly for all who are without knowledge of the True and Living GOD and HIS WORD.

 

“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

 

Do we not yet know from Biblical history that when nations are not triumphant that they are doomed to fall by exploitation, control, the sword, or isolation (as it is with Third-World countries)?  And when they are doomed, do we not understand that the CREATOR has taken domination from the Gentiles?  We can easily learn from Biblical history when and if the CREATOR GOD is with us or against us, and who should know better than rebellious Israelites who have suffered from the savage Slave Trade of Blacks out of Africa (Deuteronomy 28th Chapter).  And since the CREATOR is about Judging this world and taking back HIS Universe, let us be about obedience to HIS Paths of Righteousness in order to avoid HIS Wrath and so as to enjoy HIS Peace on this Earth when the wicked are all cut off. 

 

When the most powerful, nuclear nation on Earth is at the point where it cannot control, overtake, and defeat less powerful countries, we have to know that prophecy is brewing, big time, for this nation’s fall.  Thus, the CREATOR’s Plans are in motion, and our salvation has got to be nigh!  But are we ready now to be obedient to HIM?

 

When the CREATOR GOD of Israel said, “Thou shalt Glorify ME!” HE was (especially) talking to the Nation of Israel, the Remnant, that “Great Nation” of Israel that will serve and worship HIM in Righteousness. 

 

“And say unto them, 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 dwellingplaces, 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

 

When the CREATOR GOD of Israel said, “Every knee will bow” to HIM, HE was talking about ALL Nations.  And those peoples and individuals, who will be left after GOD’s Day of the LORD, will also Glorify Our Awesome GOD of Israel – not JC and not any other strange god formed by the wicked imaginations of mankind.

 

“All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name. For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone.”   Psalm 86:9,10

 

“O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his praise to be heard: Which holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved. For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.”   Psalm 66:8 – 10

 

“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. And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain.”   Zechariah 14:16,17

 

Reluctantly some Messianics and Christians will accept the fact that the Biblical Israelites were Black, but they still cannot give up JC but insist upon holding fast to him, even knowing that the CREATOR GOD of the Hebrew Israelites is a “JEALOUS GOD,” and that HE does not tolerate serving and worshipping other gods.  Calling on JC, worshipping him, and giving him thanks when all the Glory is due to the CREATOR GOD, is nothing more than blasphemy with consequences that parallel our present-day sufferings.  According to the religious teachings of the “New Testament” (the book used by Messianics and Christians alike), JC is another “God,” and the religion labeled “Christianity” is identified as such because it is all about belief in him, which is all about serving a false god in the WORDS of the GOD of Israel.  This man, JC, is called “Lord and Saviour” and he is of the so-called “Trinity.”  He is to be prayed to believed in, praised, and worshipped.  Messianic/Christian worship is vanity and was criminally added to GOD’s WORD.  And people should know what they are worshipping before they accept and die for this man-mad religion that is in no way endorsed by the CREATOR GOD.

 

“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.”   Deuternomy 4:1,2

 

“But as for thee, stand thou here by me, and I will speak unto thee all the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which thou shalt teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess it. Ye shall observe to do therefore as the LORD your God hath commanded you: ye shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left. Ye shall walk in all the ways which the LORD your God hath commanded you, that ye may live, and that it may be well with you, and that ye may prolong your days in the land which ye shall possess.”   Deuteronomy 5:31 - 33

 

“What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.”   Deuteronomy 12:32

 

NOTHING IN THE “OLD TESTAMENT” ACKNOWLEDGES JC, EXCEPT FOR REFERENCES TO FALSE gods!

 

Unbeknownst to Messianics/Christians, there is no prophecy on the so-called coming of JC.  People who believe in this man-god tout that the “Old Testament” speaks of his coming, but the Scripture they sight can in no way be about JC.

 

Without fail the Book of Isaiah is presented as sure fire evidence as being the prophecy concerning his coming. 

 

“Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.”   Isaiah 7:14

 

But this is, however, impossible, and is explicit evidence proving otherwise.  You see, this particular “Sign of the LORD” of a virgin conceiving a man-child was for the days of the King of Judah and the King of Israel (Isaiah 7:1).  And if the people who believe this man-child is JC would read the entire chapter, they would be amazed to learn that this virgin birth was a “Sign” for Ahaz:  “For before the child shall know to refuse the evil and choose the good, the land that thou abhorrest shall be forsaken of both her kings.”  There were no two kings of Israel at the time of the so-called coming of JC.  Again, this “Sign” was given to Ahaz and was even fulfilled in his day during the reign of the Assyrians.

 

“And I took unto me faithful witnesses to record, Uriah the priest, and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah. And I went unto the prophetess; and she conceived, and bare a son. Then said the LORD to me, Call his name Maher-shalal-hash-baz.  For before the child shall have knowledge to cry, My father, and my mother, the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be taken away before the king of Assyria.”   Isaiah 8:2 - 4

 

Another passage used by Messianics/Christians regarding “Old Testament” prophecy of the so-called Coming of JC is Isaiah 11:1 – 5.

 

“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

 

As we should all know, the CREATOR GOD of Israel gave reign to King David and his seed “for ever.” 

 

“Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and I will sing praises unto thy name.  He is the tower of salvation for his king: and sheweth mercy to his anointed, unto David, and to his seed for evermore.”   II Samuel 22:50,51

 

“And king Solomon shall be blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before the LORD for ever.”   I Kings 2:45

 

“And the LORD said unto him, I have heard thy prayer and thy supplication, that thou hast made before me: I have hallowed this house, which thou hast built, to put my name there for ever; and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually.  And if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, in integrity of heart, and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded thee, and wilt keep my statutes and my judgments: Then I will establish the throne of thy kingdom upon Israel for ever, as I promised to David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man upon the throne of Israel.”   I Kings 9:3 - 5

 

“Ought ye not to know that the LORD God of Israel gave the kingdom over Israel to David for ever, even to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt?”   II Chronicles 13:5

 

This “Branch” out of Jesse cannot in any way be a reference to JC!  According to the “New Testament” tale about JC, he was not conceived by sperm (sexual intercourse).  He is supposed to have been born of a virgin, remember?  Therefore, he could not be the “Branch of Jesse” and never be the King of Israel.  The Kings of Israel must be of the brethren of the Children of Israel.

 

“Thou shalt in any wise set him king over thee, whom the LORD thy God shall choose: one from among thy brethren shalt thou set king over thee: thou mayest not set a stranger over thee, which is not thy brother.”   Deuteronomy 17:15

 

You see, ONLY the seed of King David is prophesied to reign on the throne in Jerusalem.  Messianics/Christians cannot have it both ways, i.e., they cannot say JC was “born of a virgin,” and then say he is the seed of David. 

 

GOD’s WORD is sure and stands strong in the face of all adversity and contrived information, and the wise can identify tampering with GOD’s Precepts immediately. 

 

The problems with the writers of the “New Testament” is that they failed to do their homework to know and accept what “Thus Saith the LORD,” and worse, they wrote from the imaginations of their evil conniving hearts.  They wrote tales that are contrary to GOD’s LAW and HIS WORD to HIS Prophets, and they wrote lies and fabricated a “New” religion not endorsed and not established by the CREATOR GOD.  And they purposely tampered with the GOD’s Truth in an effort to confuse the world and turn people against the ONE True and Living GOD that Created the Heavens, the Earth, mankind, and all things therein.

 

But the times and reign of the Gentiles and their ways are coming to an end and so also is their contrived religion.  The CREATOR GOD is taking back HIS Universe and all Nations will Glory HIM – not JC!!!

 

“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.”  

I Chronicles 16:24,25

 

“All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name. For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone.

 

I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore.”   Psalm 86:9,10,12

 

“The LORD hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God.”   Isaiah 52:10

 

“Thy people also shall be all righteous: they shall inherit the land for ever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified.”   Isaiah 60:21

 

“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

 

“For I know their works and their thoughts: it shall come, that I will gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come, and see my glory.”   Isaiah 66:18

 

“Go up to the mountain, and bring wood, and build the house; and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified, saith the LORD.”   Haggai 1:8

 

Isaiah 53rd Chapter is another favorite passage the Messianics/Christians use to prove that the “Old Testament” prophesied of the so-called Coming of JC.  My question is how?

 

To whom is the Arm of the LORD revealed?  It was revealed to the Nation of Israel when HE stretched out HIS ARM and brought HIS People out of the Land of Egypt, and it was revealed every time HE saved them out of the hands of their enemies.

 

“And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD, Israel is my son, even my firstborn:”   Exodus 4:22

 

“As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out, will I rule over you:”   Ezekiel 20:33

 

“The great temptations which thine eyes saw, and the signs, and the wonders, and the mighty hand, and the stretched out arm, whereby the LORD thy God brought thee out: so shall the LORD thy God do unto all the people of whom thou art afraid.”   Deuteronomy 7:19

 

“Wherefore say unto the children of Israel, I am the LORD, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with a stretched out arm, and with great judgments:”   Exodus 6:6

 

“And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you today: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen today, ye shall see them again no more for ever.”   Exodus 14:13

 

“Thou art the LORD the God, who didst choose Abram, and broughtest him forth out of Ur of the Chaldees, and gavest him the name of Abraham;

 

And didst see the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, and heardest their cry by the Red sea;”   Nehemiah 9:7,9

 

“And shewedst signs and wonders upon Pharaoh, and on all his servants, and on all the people of his land: for thou knewest that they dealt proudly against them. So didst thou get thee a name, as it is this day. And thou didst divide the sea before them, so that they went through the midst of the sea on the dry land; and their persecutors thou threwest into the deeps, as a stone into the mighty waters.  Moreover thou leddest them in the day by a cloudy pillar; and in the night by a pillar of fire, to give them light in the way wherein they should go. 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: And gavest them bread from heaven for their hunger, and broughtest forth water for them out of the rock for their thirst, and promisedst them that they should go in to possess the land which thou hadst sworn to give them.”   Nehemiah 9:10 – 15

 

“Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life: but teach them thy sons, and thy sons' sons;”   Deuteronomy 4:9

 

“Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God; him shalt thou serve, and to him shalt thou cleave, and swear by his name.  He is thy praise, and he is thy God, that hath done for thee these great and terrible things, which thine eyes have seen.”   Deuteronomy 10:20,21

 

“Therefore thou shalt love the LORD thy God, and keep his charge, and his statutes, and his judgments, and his commandments, alway.  And know ye this day: for I speak not with your children which have not known, and which have not seen the chastisement of the LORD your God, his greatness, his mighty hand, and his stretched out arm,”   Deuteronomy 11:1,2

 

“The LORD shall establish thee an holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, and walk in his ways. And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the LORD; and they shall be afraid of thee.”   Deuteronomy 28:9,10

 

Hence, there is no denying to whom the CREATOR GOD made HIS Revelations and who saw the works of HIS Mighty ARM.  Sooner or later Messianics/Christians must accept the Truth, which is that there is no record of GOD ever revealing anything to the Israelites or to HIS Prophets about JC.

 

It is most obvious that GOD never saved JC, never made him king over Israel, and never made any Covenant with him, and Messianics/Christians are hard pressed to prove otherwise.

 

And in regard to Isaiah 53rd Chapter, JC was not “brought as a lamb to the slaughter,” as was the Nation of Israel that was cast into the lands of their enemies to serve them because of their worship of strange gods and for rejecting GOD’s LAW.  Also, JC never “made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death…”  He didn’t die.  According to the fabricated story, “he is risen” (Mark 16:6).  So much for his supposed death.  Messianics/Christians should know the book from which they worship rather than just listen to their preachers every Sunday in church.  Maybe then they could see the error of its ways, for this “New Testament” Book in no way follows the teachings of the Most High CREATOR GOD of Israel.

 

Isaiah 53rd Chapter is about the SEED of the Biblical Israelites suffering and dying for the great sins of their forefathers.  The Deliverance out of Ancient Egypt, the fulfillment of Deuteronomy 28th Chapter, the Blessings GOD promised to the Children of Israel and the Curses prophesying of the Slave Trade (if they forsook HIM and HIS LAW), are more than likely the most profound revelations of all revealed by the ARM of the LORD.  

 

“And they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in your enemies' lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them.”   Leviticus 26:39

 

“Behold, we are servants this day, and for the land that thou gavest unto our fathers to eat the fruit thereof and the good thereof, behold, we are servants in it:”   Nehemiah 9:36

 

“How doth the city sit solitary, that was full of people! how is she become as a widow! she that was great among the nations, and princess among the provinces, how is she become tributary! She weepeth sore in the night, and her tears are on her cheeks: among all her lovers she hath none to comfort her: all her friends have dealt treacherously with her, they are become her enemies.  Judah is gone into captivity because of affliction, and because of great servitude: she dwelleth among the heathen, she findeth no rest: all her persecutors overtook her between the straits. The ways of Zion do mourn, because none come to the solemn feasts: all her gates are desolate: her priests sigh, her virgins are afflicted, and she is in bitterness. Her adversaries are the chief, her enemies prosper; for the LORD hath afflicted her for the multitude of her transgressions: her children are gone into captivity before the enemy.”   Lamentations 1:1 – 5

 

The best prophetical revelation of all is that GOD will punish the world for their evil and the wicked for their iniquity.

 

“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.”   Isaiah 13:11

 

And there is no mention anywhere in the “Old Testament” of this business about a JC dying for the sins of anyone.  So, for once and for all, let’s put that lie to rest!

 

“And he shall say, Where are their gods, their rock in whom they trusted, Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink offerings? let them rise up and help you, and be your protection. See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.”   Deuteronomy 32:37 – 39

 

Make no mistakes about it; the CREATOR GOD of Abraham and Moses will be Glorified!

 

Furthermore, forgiveness for sins hinges on returning to this GOD of Israel and HIS LAW in Righteousness – nothing more and nothing less.

 

“Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place.

 

If ye oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to your hurt:

 

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.”   Jeremiah 7:3,6,23

 

“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. And they shall come thither, and they shall take away all the detestable things thereof and all the abominations thereof from thence.  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. But as for them whose heart walketh after the heart of their detestable things and their abominations, I will recompense their way upon their own heads, saith the Lord GOD.”   Ezekiel 11:17 – 21

 

“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 18:21

 

“Afterward shall the children of Israel return, and seek the LORD their God, and David their king; and shall fear the LORD and his goodness in the latter days.”   Hosea 3:5

 

“O Israel, return unto the LORD thy God; for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity. Take with you words, and turn to the LORD: say unto him, Take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously: so will we render the calves of our lips.”   Hosea 14:1,2

 

“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?

 

Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.”   Malachi 3:7,18

 

So, to say that any of these passages prove the existence of JC’s Coming in the “Old Testament” is stretching it.  GOD never endorsed JC, and had HE done so, he would have been as big as Moses, Samuel, and/or King David, who did everything for the sake of GOD’s Holy Name and for HIS Glory.  The “New Testament” is too busy magnifying JC to speak of the GOD of Israel, as did the men of GOD aforementioned. 

 

There is much darkness with ignorance and much stupidity with those who choose to believe lies.  Reason being, there is no hope for them, and our past and present speaks volumes in this regard.

 

“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

 

Therefore, because this Messianic/Christian, religious worship is not Commanded in the Laws, Statutes, and Judgments the CREATOR GOD gave to HIS Servant Moses to teach to the Children of Israel and to the Strangers (Gentiles) joined unto them, it is a false religion and UNACCEPTABLE.  GOD’s Way of Life Magnifies Only HIM, as being the ONE True and Living GOD and accepts none other to share HIS Glory.

 

“I will mention the lovingkindnesses of the LORD, and the praises of the LORD, according to all that the LORD hath bestowed on us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which he hath bestowed on them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his lovingkindnesses. For he said, Surely they are my people, children that will not lie: so he was their Saviour.  In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bare them, and carried them all the days of old.  But they rebelled, and vexed his holy Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, and he fought against them.  Then he remembered the days of old, Moses, and his people, saying, Where is he that brought them up out of the sea with the shepherd of his flock? where is he that put his holy Spirit within him?”   Isaiah 63:7 - 11

 

Yes, the Peoples of the Earth will Glorify the CREATOR GOD, Fear HIM, Magnify HIM, Exalt HIM, and observe HIS Righteous Book of the Law.  Just as the world, today, believes in all manner of religions and worships all manner of strange gods, at the end of the day, the world will be in terror at learning about the CREATOR GOD of Israel and will turn to HIM and follow HIS Walk of Life bringing this globe to the state of Righteousness from which it began. 

 

“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

 

“And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD'S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.  And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.”   Isaiah 2:2 – 4

 

“And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day. And the idols he shall utterly abolish. And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth. In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats; To go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth. Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?”   Isaiah 2:17 – 22

 

“Now will I rise, saith the LORD; now will I be exalted; now will I lift up myself.

 

Hear, ye that are far off, what I have done; and, ye that are near, acknowledge my might.”  

Isaiah 33:10,13

 

“And the LORD shall inherit Judah his portion in the holy land, and shall choose Jerusalem again.”   Zechariah 2:12

 

“Yea, many people and strong nations shall come to seek the LORD of hosts in Jerusalem, and to pray before the LORD.”   Zechariah 8:22

 

“Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified.”   Psalm 40:16

 

Since from the CREATOR GOD’s WORD we know that HE ALONE will be Glorified, why do we question HIM?  Since from what’s written, we can see HIS WORKS, why then do we continue to live by the imaginations of our hearts?  And because we know that there is a CREATOR GOD of Hosts, why are we not resigned to following HIS Paths of Righteousness already set up since the BEGINNING?  Let us be wise and seek to change the times by turning to the ONE True and Living GOD, the GOD of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob/Israel, and bring all this Hell on Earth to an end.  Wisdom is turning to the ONE True and Living GOD, HIS Ways, and giving HIM the reverence due HIM and HIS Holy Name, for HIS Greatness and Power, and for HIS ability to kill and make alive.  Let the Holy ONE of Israel be Glorified for ever and for ever!

 

“I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.

I have preached righteousness in the great congregation:

lo, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest.

I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart;

I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation:

I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great congregation.”

Psalm 40:8 - 10

 

“Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee:

let such as love thy salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified.

But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me:

thou art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God.”

Psalm 40:16,17

 

“Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.”

Psalm 108:12

 

“They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain:

for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD,

as the waters cover the sea.”

Isaiah 11:9

 

“And in that day thou shalt say, O LORD, I will praise thee: though thou wast angry with me, thine anger is turned away, and thou comfortedst me.

Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid:

for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song;

he also is become my salvation. Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells

of salvation. And in that day shall ye say, Praise the LORD, call upon his name,

declare his doings among the people, make mention that his name is exalted.

Sing unto the LORD; for he hath done excellent things: this is known in all the earth.

Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion:

for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee.”

Isaiah 12:1 - 6

 

“I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence,

and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early.”  

Hosea 5:15

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 to this area of the world that is proving to be the beginning of 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 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

 

“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 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. 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 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 I and my loved ones be spared?”

 

As people sit in churches and temples, they wonder, “Why aren’t my prayers being answered?”  And “Who can I trust?”

 

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?”

 

The ANSWERS to all these questions and many, many more can be found in “The Old Testament.”

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,

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, leave the issue alone!

 

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!

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

O LORD GOD of Israel,

 

Spare the Elders of Israel.  Open their eyes, Father, and cause them to fear you to do your Will.  Have Mercy, O LORD GOD of Israel and cause the world to know your TRUTH.  FORGIVE, Father of Abraham and remember your Covenant with Jacob and your Promises to the Children of Israel.  Remember your Holy City Jerusalem and remember King Solomon’s Prayer for you to hear us when we pray toward your Holy City.  Save us, Father, for ONLY YOU have that power.  SAVE us as you saved our forefathers out of Egypt by your Awesome SUPREMACY and MIGHT.  Don’t leave us to waste away in the lands of our captivity. 

 

In your own words, LORD GOD of Israel, “Let us reason together.”  We need you, LORD GOD, like we’ve never needed you before.  Make haste, Dear Father of Israel,  Save the SEED of Jacob and let us LIVE FOR YOU in Righteousness.

 

O TASTE AND SEE THAT THE LORD

IS MERCIFUL AND GOOD!

 

FEAR AND GLORY YIHOVAH FOR WE HAVE ONLY HIM, THE ONE MERCIFUL GOD THAT IS TRUE TO HIS WORD AND THAT LISTENS WHEN WE CALL UPON HIM WITH A CONTRITE SPIRIT!

DEAR LORD GOD OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC, AND JACOB,

 

TAKE BACK your Universe! 

Don't let your enemies and the rebellious triumph over your wondrous WORKS!  This is your planet. 

YOU CREATED it, and you alone deserve ALL the PRAISE and GLORY!

Establish your RIGHTEOUSNESS for a world of Peace, Truth, and Happiness

AND to the SEED of the Children of Israel!

 

TAKE BACK your Holy City, Jerusalem

YOU established it for your Praise and Glory and for your Holy Temple,

Wherein, all Nations will bow to you and worship YOU ALONE.

 

TAKE BACK your Holy People, GOD of Israel, and Save those of us who seek to follow your Book of the Law, as it is written!  Save the Righteous Remnant

 

Save the Great Nation that YOU told Moses about - those special ones who will know only to serve and worship YOU, and who will have it no other way!

"O LORD, why hast thou made us to err from thy ways, and hardened our heart from thy fear? Return for thy servants' sake, the tribes of thine inheritance. The people of thy holiness have possessed it but a little while: our adversaries have trodden down thy sanctuary. We are thine: thou never barest rule over them; they were not called by thy name."   Isaiah 63:17-19

 

LORD GOD of Abraham, be with those of us who have the desires to return to your Lawful Ways, Your Book of the Law, that you gave to your Prophet Moses and give us the courage, wisdom, and power to be re-established in your Holy Name.  Let us show the world that YOU, the Most High GOD, the CREATOR, the Holy ONE of Israel are still in control of this Universe.  Give us a steadfast heart and determination to be True only to YOU and not to falter or waiver from your desires for the Remnant you have called to return, so that YOU may perform your promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.  Establish that “GREAT NATION” YOU told Moses about, FATHER,    the Israelites who will be totally devoted to YOU, your Laws, Statutes, and Judgments, and who will establish your Holy Kingdom in Truth and in Righteousness.

A MESSAGE TO ALL MESSIANICS:

 

 WAIT ON THE LORD GOD OF ISRAEL

AND

MAKE HIM YOUR

LORD AND SAVIOR - NOT “MAN.”

(Psalm 25:4,5)

 

 

“And it shall be, if thou do at all forget the LORD thy God,

and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them,

I testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish.”

Deuteronomy 8:19

 

 

“Whom have I in heaven but thee?

and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee.”

Psalm 73:25

 

“Yet I am the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt know no god but me: for there is no saviour beside me.

 

“O Israel, thou hast destroyed thyself; but in me is thine help.

 

“I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction: repentance shall be hid from mine eyes.”  

Hosea 13:4,9,14

 

 

“Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if  I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.”  

Psalm 40:5

 

“But if ye shall at all turn from following me, ye or your children, and will not keep my commandments and my statutes which I have set before you, but go and serve other gods, and worship them:

 

“Then will I cut off Israel out of the land which I have given them; and this house, which I have hallowed for my name, will I cast out of my sight; and Israel shall be a proverb and a byword among all people:”  

I Kings 9:6,7

 

THEREFORE, FOR WHAT REASON

DO WE NEED jc OR ANY ONE ELSE

BUT YIHOVAH,

THE ALL-MIGHTY GOD OF ISRAEL?!

 

 

“Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God; him shalt thou serve, and to him shalt thou cleave, and swear by his name.

 

“He is thy praise, and he is thy God, that hath done for thee these great and terrible things, which thine eyes have seen.”    Deuteronomy 10:20,21

 

“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

 

“Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

 

“Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders.”   Psalm 107:31,32

 

“I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt:  OPEN THY MOUTH WIDE, AND I WILL FILL IT.”  Psalm 37:10

 

AGAIN AND AGAIN, I ASK:

FOR WHAT REASON DO WE NEED jc

OR ANY ONE ELSE

BUT YIHOVAH

OUR ONLY GOD AND SAVIOR?

 

“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,

 

“To keep the commandments of the LORD, and his statutes, which I command thee this day for thy good?”   Deuteronomy 10:12,13

 

“At the same time, saith the LORD, will I be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be my people.”   Jeremiah 31:1

 

“Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee:

and let such as love thy salvation say continually,

Let God be magnified.”

Psalm 70:4

 

“My mouth shall shew forth thy righteousness and thy salvation all the day…

“I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only.

“Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high, who hast done great things:

O God, who is like unto thee!”

Psalm 71:15,16,19

 

“And Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven:  And he said, 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:”

I Kings 8:22,23

 

FOR WHAT REASON DO WE NEED jc

OR ANY ONE ELSE

BUT YIHOVAH?

 

“And they shall know that I am the LORD their God, that brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, that I may dwell among them: I am the LORD their God.

Exodus 29:46

 

“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.”  

Exodus 20:1 - 3

 

FOR WHAT REASON DO WE NEED jc

OR ANY ONE ELSE

BUT YIHOVAH,

THE LORD OUR GOD THAT SAVED ISRAEL OUT OF EGYPT?

 

“…they shall CALL ON MY NAME, and I will hear them:  I will say, It is my people:  and they shall say, The LORD is my God.”   Zechariah 13:9

 

Given all the above Scripture, YOU MESSIANICS should realize that we should not be trusting in or magnifying “man” - not any “man” for the Holy ONE of Israel is a JEALOUS GOD, and HE wants all the Praise and Glory for HIMSELF!  HE ALONE is Our SAVIOR, and there is none else:

 

“I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour.”   Isaiah 43:11

 

“Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any.”   Isaiah 44:8

 

“Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together:  who hath declared this from ancient time?  who hath told it from that time?  have not I the LORD?  And there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me.

 

“Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.”   Isaiah 45:21,22

 

FOR WHAT REASON DO WE NEED jc OR ANY ONE ELSE

BUT YIHOVAH?

 

Our Righteous GOD gave us HIS Holy Book of the Law – not the “New Testament” that was established by “man” to support his man-made, very well organized and deceptive religion.

 

WE DO NOT NEED jc!!!

 

The TEACHINGS of the GOD of Israel are found in HIS Book of the Law, and in no way do HIS Teachings even parallel those of jc.  As a matter of fact, the “New Testament” and the teachings of jc were specifically written and embellished to REPLACE GOD’s Laws, Statutes, and Judgments - hence, the reason for the word “New” in the title of this book! 

 

This is one of the greatest sins one can commit against the Most High GOD of Israel.  Not only is GOD’s Law to be kept “to a thousand generations” and “FOR EVERMORE” (Deuteronomy 7:9; II Kings 17:37), but no one can add to or diminish from all that the GOD of Israel has COMMANDED that we should observe to DO (Deuteronomy 12:32)! 

 

Equally as important, “Cursed be he that confirmeth not all the words of this law to do them, And all the people shall say, Amen” (Deuteronomy 27:26).  Perhaps jc wasn’t aware of this Law!

 

The “New Testament” and this “man” jc have not only added to GOD’s WORD, but they have disclaimed GOD’s Ordinances and changed them altogether!

 

“The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth and fadeth away, the haughty people of the earth do languish. The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant. Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.”   Isaiah 24:4 - 6  

 

Every man/woman who serves and worships the All-Mighty GOD of Israel knows to Exalt ONLY HIM and HIS Book of the Law, for through meditating in this Righteous Book, one is made wise and, therefore, learns of GOD’s Truth and magnifies it and nothing else!

 

“And he said unto them, Set your hearts unto all the words which I testify among you this day, which ye shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of this law.   Deuteronomy 32:4

 

“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 shal make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.”   Joshua 1:7,8

 

Equally important, the wise will confirm that there is but ONE GOD, the CREATOR, and there is none else!

 

“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.”   Isaiah 43:10

 

“I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:

 

“That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I amthe LORD, and there is none else.”   Isaiah 45:5,6

 

“But the LORD is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation.

 

“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 10:10,11

 

Finally, when we realize that NO ONE can deliver out of GOD’s Hand, i.e., reverse the CURSES HE put on the Nation of Israel (or anyone else for that matter), then we will understand why the man, jc, is a farce, and thus, was not able to save the “Lost Sheep of the House of Israel,” or establish GOD’s Kingdom.  Thus, we also realize why the writers of the “New Testament” conveniently wrote jc completely out of the picture and into a false doctrine and forged sense of hope that lies in the hearts of naïve and badly informed believers! 

 

The Holy ONE of Israel wants HIS People to SERVE, TRUST, BELIEVE, HOPE, AND WORSHIP ONLY HIM!  AND HE WILL HAVE IT NO OTHER WAY!

 

“The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him.”   Nahum 1:7

 

WE NEED THE SAME GOD THAT SAVED THE NATION OF ISRAEL

OUT OF EGYPT

TO ONCE AGAIN

DELIVER US OUT OF OUR ENEMIES’ LANDS!!!

 

“And I also have given you cleanness of teeth in all your cities,

and want of bread in all your places: yet have ye not returned unto me,

saith the LORD.

 

“And also I have withholden the rain from you,

when there were yet three months to the harvest:

and I caused it to rain upon one city,

and caused it not to rain upon another city: one piece was rained upon,

and the piece whereupon it rained not withered.

 

“So two or three cities wandered unto one city, to drink water;

but they were not satisfied: yet have ye not returned unto me,

saith the LORD.

 

“I have smitten you with blasting and mildew: when your gardens and your vineyards and your fig trees and your olive trees increased,

the palmerworm devoured them: yet have ye not returned unto me,

saith the LORD.

 

“I have sent among you the pestilence after the manner of Egypt: your young men have I slain with the sword, and have taken away your horses;

and I have made the stink of your camps to come up unto your nostrils:

yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD.

 

“I have overthrown some of you, as God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah,

and ye were as a firebrand plucked out of the burning:

yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD.”

Amos 4:6  – 11

 

“For thus saith the LORD unto the house of Israel,

Seek ye me, and ye shall live

 

“Seek the LORD, and ye shall live; lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and devour it, and there be none to quench it in Beth-el.”

Amos 5:4,6

“The virgin of Israel is fallen; she shall no more rise: she is forsaken upon her land; there is none to raise her up.

 

“Therefore the LORD, the God of hosts, the Lord, saith thus; Wailing shall be in all streets; and they shall say in all the highways, Alas! alas! and they shall call the husbandman to mourning, and such as are skilful of lamentation to wailing.

 

“Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus,

saith the LORD, whose name is The God of hosts.”

Amos 5:2,16,27

(See also Jeremiah 30:13)

 

Why didn’t jc know about Amos’ PROPHECIES?  Why didn’t he know that GOD had cursed the “Lost Sheep of the House of Israel” (Matt.15:24), and that it would be impossible to SAVE them?  And why didn’t he know that we would still be UNSAVED unto this day?!   I’ll tell you why.  When the tale was woven to establish this false religion, X-tianity, the writers were so busy fabricating what they thought would be a foolproof theology that they neglected to do their homework!  They should have researched what “Thus Saith the LORD,” first!  How long will intelligent people continue to believe in this “man” jc?

 

WE DO NOT NEED jc! 

 

WE NEED THE GOD OF ABRAHAM!

 

“Therefore, behold the days come, saith the LORD, that it shall no more be said, The LORD liveth, that brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; But, The LORD liveth, that brougt up the children of Israel

from the land of the north, and from all the lands whither he had driven them:  and I will bring them again unto their land

that I gave unto their fathers.”

Jeremiah 16:14,15

 

“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…”

I Chronicles 16:29,30

 

If the Holy ONE of Israel DECLARED that there is NONE TO PLEAD OUR CAUSE (Jeremiah 30:13), then of what value was jc???  Obviously, this man was/is of no value to the Children of Israel at all.  Hence, again and again I urge Messianics to turn to the GOD of Israel and believe, hope, and trust in ONLY HIM for HE is the ONLY ONE that has proven HIMSELF to be able to truly SAVE HIS People out of the hands of their enemies.

 

O TASTE AND SEE THAT THE LORD IS GOOD

AND THAT THERE IS NONE LIKE THE LORD GOD OF ISRAEL!

 

Tziona Yisrael,

Servant of the Most High GOD of Israel for HIS Holy Name’s Sake

 

P.S.

 

I live to Exalt the Most High GOD of Israel and HIS Righteous Book of the Law and all because returning to HIM and serving and worshipping HIM (when our forefathers wouldn’t) will cause Our GOD and SAVIOR to return back to us, HIS Chosen People.  Therefore, the more Israelites involved in this great Mission to return to the Holy ONE and HIS Law, the sooner the GOD’s TRUTH will be disseminated around the world and the sooner the True and Living GOD will be revealed, magnified, and PRAISED by all (Isaiah 43:21).  And LORD knows this “man” jc, or whatever people choose to call him, will have nothing to do with bringing about this disclosure or the Redemption and Deliverance from all the perils upon the SEED of the Children of Israel, as well as the rest of the nations on this Earth for that matter.   And the reason is that the man jc, in the “NT,” is too busy shedding light on himself to give Praise and Glory to the Most High GOD of Israel, which is all that this GOD wanted most from HIS Chosen People.

 

It should be realized that GOD did not let Samuel’s words fall to the ground, i.e., everything Samuel said came to pass (I Samuel 3:19).  But this was not the case with the “man” jc, and yet he was/is worshipped and magnified as if he were the GOD of this Universe.   And indeed many people think that he is.  But if he is a god or if he is “the son of God,” then certainly he should have known that GOD’s Kingdom was NOT at hand (Matthew 10:5 - 7) – a blunder from which he will never recover! 

 

And since jc could not make this significant call that would have proven his identity and godliness, the wise should know that he is as much a lying prophet as was Hananiah who disputed Jeremiah’s prophecy that the Tribe of Judah would be in Babylonian captivity for seventy years.  His claim was that they would be captives for only two years rather than seventy.  Consequently, Hananiah paid with his life for making the Judahites “trust in a lie” (Jeremiah 28th Chapter).

 

As well, we should give more thought to the fact that “there arose not a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face” (Deuteronomy 34:10).  That kind of leaves the “Son of God” out in the cold; wouldn’t you say?

 

And finally, GOD said, “The beast of the field shall honor me, the dragons and the owls:  because I give waters in the wilderness and rivers in the desert to give drink to my people, my chosen” (Isaiah 43:20).  There’s much to be gleaned from this passage!  But suffice it to say that the beasts of the field know well the identity of the CREATOR, and they know even better that this All-Mighty GOD is the ONLY ONE that deserves ALL THE GLORY.  Unfortunately, these days, when there is a drought, severe storm, flooding, waters in the desert or forest (lightning) fires, crippling dust storms and famine, people, not the beasts of the field, but PEOPLE will credit “Mother Nature” for these weather patterns and not make the slightest connection to the Most High GOD.

 

“That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else.  I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.”   Isaiah 45:6,7

 

However, for sure great afflictions will cause many people and Nations to turn to the GOD with the OMNIPOTENCE to SAVE and DELIVER out of harms way, and this will be the GOD they will serve and worship (Hosea 5:15).  I don’t think it’s necessary to reveal that this GOD will be the same GOD that SAVED the Children of Israel out of Egyptian bondage!

 

“Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein: then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice Before the LORD: for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth.”  

Psalm 96:12,13

 

“What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back?  Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams; and ye little hills, like lambs?  Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;”   Psalm 114:5 – 7

 

The WISE will understand!

 

FEAR AND GLORY YIHOVAH ALWAYS!

 

P.P.S.

 

LORD, You were our help during Biblical days, and you did not pass the buck.  You were a Voice and a genuine Worker for us, and from the fruits of your labors our trifling forefathers were indeed saved and redeemed many times from the hands of their enemies, albeit in vain to perpetuate many sins against you.   But things have changed somewhat, and many of us have returned to you.  Therefore, once again, LORD GOD of Israel, save those of us who believe and trust in ONLY YOU to do your Will, but this time save us from the four corners of this Earth for your Holy Name’s Sake.

 

“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.”   I Kings 8:33,34

 

“Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that it shall no more be said, The LORD liveth, that brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;

 

“But, The LORD liveth, that brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the lands whither he had driven them: and I will bring them again into their land that I gave unto their fathers.”   Jeremiah 16:14,15

 

BLESSED BE THE NAME OF THE GOD OF ISRAEL!  IT WILL HAPPEN!!!

Let us put the Most High GOD of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob/Israel back into our lives, our hearts, our thoughts, and in everything that we do.  Focusing on HIM and HIS Ways, as we come and go in our daily routines is ever so helpful in maintaining healthy spirits and acquiring strength and knowledge of HIS Paths of Righteousness.   This attitude certainly helps in making us meek, albeit but not weak, ALL PRAISES DUE TO THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL.

Poetry and Prose Corner With A Message:

 

 

I AM A DREAMER

 

I’m a dreamer and have been one ever since my birth,

Born to represent the True GOD and HIS Wondrous Laws on this Earth.

 

Since my early years I knew from dreaming that I was special,

From GOD’s guidance and patience making me ever so exceptional.

 

Only GOD could have caused me to have these many dreams in the nights,

Crossing strange bridges, in unfamiliar lands, and seeing many other sights.

 

I couldn’t figure it all out then, but GOD kept these dreams in my heart,

Never allowing me to forget that I had to play some unique part.

 

But more than that I needed to know the reason for the Black, savage ghetto,

Why my people lived in poverty, in want of all things under this miserable status quo.

 

All over the world, Blacks are second-class citizens and feeling desperately left out,

Treated without respect, existing without a voice, and most of all without any clout.

 

Where is GOD, I wondered, to allow all this misery to happen to Blacks,

At the mercy of Whites living in gross darkness and without any feedback.

 

I could only dream and pray constantly to be free,

To live without the despair and depression that always haunted me.

 

Many things and situations caused me to always hope,

For I knew a GOD existed and had formed all this Wondrous universal scope.

 

When I was at my wits end and about to choose the wrong direction,

Was when GOD intervened and opened my eyes to use wise discretion.

 

I learned that it was the CREATOR GOD of Israel directing my way,

Bringing me into the knowledge of my identity on this glorious day.

 

HE sent a man to finally end my insane and painful curiosity,

To understand why Whites had it all and were still filled with hatred and animosity.

 

I was most grateful for HIS Merciful and Loving, eye-opening revelation,

For now I was the wiser from assured Divine intervention.

 

I read all I could about this CREATOR GOD of Abraham,

And learned of all the transgressions of my forefathers ad nauseam.

 

After all HE did, how could they turn from HIM and worship idols made by man,

O that they could see the consequences of their wicked imaginations and hand.

 

Knowing the GOD’s Truth was good but only made me more dissatisfied,

A predicament that made me know for what to pray and for what to decide.

 

My dreams are of returning to My GOD and living according to HIS Ways,

After all HE alone is Israel’s life and the extension of their days.

 

Knowing all this still is not fulfilling all my dreams,

I want to see the SEED of Jacob in the land with Our GOD the SUPREME.

 

Now, this is the number one dream I pray HE will soon manifest,

That the Nation of Israel and world will worship HIM in Truth and in Righteousness.

UK, US  WORST PLACES FOR CHILDREN, UN STUDY SAYS

 

By David Altaner

Bloomberg

Wednesday 14 February 2007

 

The U.K. and the U.S. are the worst places for children's quality of life and the Netherlands and Sweden are the best, according to a report on 21 industrialized countries by the United Nations Children's Fund.

 

The UNICEF report, released today, uses 40 indicators to gauge children's well-being. The study found no solid relationship between the wealth of a country and children's welfare.

 

The U.K. ranks poorly in factors such as quality of relationships, behavior, health and safety, according to the report. The country has the worst levels of youth drunkenness and teenage sexual relations.

 

"For the last two decades, we have failed to invest in children," said Jonathan Bradshaw, a University of York professor who helped to compile the U.K. numbers data. He was speaking at a London press conference. "It's a pretty bleak picture."

 

A Department for Education and Skills representative said UNICEF data for Britain are a few years old and don't reflect recent improvements such as a drop in teenage pregnancy.

 

Rob Williams, the chief executive officer of the Office of the Children's Commissioner, told Bloomberg Television the problem is "severe and complex."

 

While some factors might have improved, others have worsened, such as child obesity rates, Williams said.

 

The U.S. ranks last in health and safety, with the highest rates of relative child poverty and teenage obesity, according to the report. Only 60 percent of U.S. children live with both parents, compared with 90 percent in Greece, the report said.

 

Swedish youth are least likely to be bullied and Dutch children are most likely to report themselves satisfied with life, according to the UNICEF research.

US warns Iran to back off in Arabian Gulf

DUBAI (AP) — A second US aircraft carrier strike group now steaming towards the Middle East is Washington's way of warning Iran to back down in its attempts to dominate the region, a top US diplomat said here Tuesday.

Nicholas Burns, the US undersecretary of state for political affairs, ruled out direct US negotiations with Iran and said a rapprochement between Washington and Tehran was "not possible" until Iran halts its enrichment of uranium.

 “The Middle East isn’t a region to be dominated by Iran. The Gulf isn't a body of water to be controlled by Iran.

That's why we've seen the United States station two carrier battle groups in the region," Burns said in an address to the Dubai-based Gulf Research Centre, an influential think tank.

"Iran is going to have to understand that the United States will protect its interests if Iran seeks to confront us," Burns continued. "We will defend our interests if we are challenged. That might be a message Iran must understand."

The American aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis and several accompanying ships are heading towards the Gulf to join an aircraft carrier group already in the region, the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower. The Stennis is expected to arrive in late February.

The Stennis' arrival in the Middle East will mark the first time since the US-led Iraq invasion in 2003 that the United States has had two carrier battle groups in the region.

The US navy said Tuesday that the minesweeper USS Gladiator arrived in the Arabian Gulf, one of six such ships — four American, two British — now plying the Gulf for anti-ship mines. US officials have long said Iran would be expected to block busy Gulf shipping lanes if there is a conflict.

Also Tuesday, Burns said the United States would announce a large aid package for Lebanon during an international conference in Paris on Wednesday. Washington's funds are aimed at bolstering the embattled pro-US government of Lebanese President Fuad Siniora now besieged by protesters seeking his ouster.

"The United States will make a substantial contribution, a long-term financial commitment to help Lebanon rebuild itself and its economy," he said. "They suffered through a vicious war this summer." He said specifics of the package would be announced in Paris.

Lebanon saw more than a thousand killed and huge damage to its infrastructure and economy during a monthlong Israeli offensive that had Washington's backing.

Burns, a polished former State Department spokesman, said he was touring America's Gulf allies to follow up on four previous visits by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who has sought the region's support for US efforts to stabilise Iraq and contain Iran.

But the audience of Dubai-based diplomats and analysts was dismayed by Burns' tough talk on Iran. Attendees complained that American wars in the Middle East were already threatening the region's stability and asked him to sort out Iraq and the Israel-Palestinian conflict before turning attention to Iran.

"What we are not interested in is another war in the region," Mohammad Naqbi, who heads the Gulf Negotiations Centre, told Burns. "Iraq is your problem, not the problem of the Arabs. You destroyed a country that had institutions. You handed that country to Iran. Now you are crying to Europe and the Arabs to help you out of this mess." Burns' speech appeared to respond to similar comments by Iranian officials in Dubai and Bahrain last month. In December, Iran's top national security adviser, Ali Larijani, appealed to Gulf Arabs to shut down American bases on their soil and instead join Iran in a regional security alliance.

Burns acknowledged Washington's Mideast problems would continue to dominate the Bush administration's agenda. He pointed to Iran as one of four priorities, along with Iraq, Israel and Lebanon.

"In the final two years of the Bush presidency it will be the Middle East where we will focus the majority of our attention," Burns said.

Dubai, which lies about 100 miles across the Gulf from Iran, is an ideal place to deal with Tehran, he said. The State Department last summer set up its Iran Regional Presence Office, which Burns said had already set up several cultural exchanges  between  the United States   and   Iran. The office's diplomats arranged a US wrestling team's visit to Iran last week.

Burns said Washington would be a "willing partner" in support of civilian nuclear power programmes in its six Gulf Arab allies, saying the Bush administration supports nuclear energy as a means to combat global warming.

But the diplomat said that Iran needs to halt its uranium enrichment as a precondition for any direct discussions with Washington. Several prominent American leaders have urged the Bush administration to talk to Iran.

"It doesn't make any sense to negotiate with Iran while their nuclear programme is ongoing," Burns said. "There is an entry fee to the game and everybody has to pay it. You too, Iran, have to pay it."

READING FOR THE SOUL…

 

BEHOLD, THESE ARE THE UNGODLY,

WHO PROSPER IN THE WORLD;

THEY INCREASE IN RICHES

 

“Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart.

 

But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped. For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is firm. They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like other men. Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth them as a garment. Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish. They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak loftily. They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth.

 

Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a full cup are wrung out to them. And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High?  Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches. Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocency.

 

 For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning. If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend against the generation of thy children. When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me;

 

 Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end. Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down into destruction.

 

How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors. As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image.

 

Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins. So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee.

 

Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand. Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory. Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee.  My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.

 

For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee. But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works.”   Psalms Seventy-third Chapter

 

 

HAPPY IS HE THAT HATH THE GOD OF JACOB FOR HIS HELP

 

“Praise ye the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul. While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.

 

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: Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. The LORD looseth the prisoners:

 

The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind: the LORD raiseth them that are bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous:

The LORD preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.

 

The LORD shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the LORD.”   Psalms One hundred forty-sixth Chapter

 

 

AMEND YOUR WAYS AND YOUR DOINGS,

AND I WILL CAUSE YOU TO DWELL IN THIS PLACE

 

“The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,

 

Stand in the gate of the LORD'S house, and proclaim there this word, and say, Hear the word of the LORD, all ye of Judah, that enter in at these gates to worship the LORD.

 

Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place.

 

Trust ye not in lying words, saying, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, are these. For if ye throughly amend your ways and your doings; if ye throughly execute judgment between a man and his neighbour; If ye oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to your hurt: Then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, for ever and ever.

 

Behold, ye trust in lying words, that cannot profit.

 

Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods whom ye know not; And come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered to do all these abominations?

 

Is this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, even I have seen it, saith the LORD. But go ye now unto my place which was in Shiloh, where I set my name at the first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness of my people Israel.

 

And now, because ye have done all these works, saith the LORD, and I spake unto you, rising up early and speaking, but ye heard not; and I called you, but ye answered not; Therefore will I do unto this house, which is called by my name, wherein ye trust, and unto the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh. And I will cast you out of my sight, as I have cast out all your brethren, even the whole seed of Ephraim.

 

Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to me: for I will not hear thee.

 

Seest thou not what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem? The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.

 

Do they provoke me to anger? saith the LORD: do they not provoke themselves to the confusion of their own faces? Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, mine anger and my fury shall be poured out upon this place, upon man, and upon beast, and upon the trees of the field, and upon the fruit of the ground; and it shall burn, and shall not be quenched.

 

Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Put your burnt offerings unto your sacrifices, and eat flesh. For I spake not unto your fathers, nor commanded them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices:

 

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: Yet they hearkened not unto me, nor inclined their ear, but hardened their neck: they did worse than their fathers.

 

Therefore thou shalt speak all these words unto them; but they will not hearken to thee: thou shalt also call unto them; but they will not answer thee.

 

But thou shalt say unto them, This is a nation that obeyeth not the voice of the LORD their God, nor receiveth correction: truth is perished, and is cut off from their mouth.

 

Cut off thine hair, O Jerusalem, and cast it away, and take up a lamentation on high places; for the LORD hath rejected and forsaken the generation of his wrath.

 

For the children of Judah have done evil in my sight, saith the LORD: they have set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to pollute it.

 

And they have built the high places of Tophet, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my heart. Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that it shall no more be called Tophet, nor the valley of the son of Hinnom, but the valley of slaughter: for they shall bury in Tophet, till there be no place.

 

And the carcases of this people shall be meat for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth; and none shall fray them away.

 

Then will I cause to cease from the cities of Judah, and from the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride: for the land shall be desolate.”   Jeremiah Seventh Chapter

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 with all thy soul, and with all thy might.

 

“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,

that we may do all the words of this law.”

Deuteronomy 29:29

 

“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.”

“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

 

“For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep,

and seek them out. As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day

that he is among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out my sheep,

and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy

and dark day. And I will bring them out from the people, and gather them from the countries,

and will bring them to their own land, and feed them upon the mountains of Israel

by the rivers, and in all the inhabited places of the country.

I will feed them in a good pasture, and upon the high mountains of Israel shall their fold be:

there shall they lie in a good fold, and in a fat pasture shall they feed

upon the mountains of Israel. I will feed my flock, and I will cause them to lie down,

saith the Lord GOD. I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that which was driven away,

and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick:

but I will destroy the fat and the strong; I will feed them with judgment.”

Ezekiel 34:11 – 16

 

“And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David;

he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd. And I the LORD will be their God,

and my servant David a prince among them; I the LORD have spoken it.  

And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause the evil beasts to cease out

of the land: and they shall dwell safely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods.”

Ezekiel 34:23 – 25

 

“And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing;

and I will cause the shower to come down in his season; there shall be showers of blessing.

And the tree of the field shall yield her fruit, and the earth shall yield her increase,

and they shall be safe in their land, and shall know that I am the LORD,

when I have broken the bands of their yoke, and delivered them out of the hand

of those that served themselves of them. And they shall no more be a prey to the heathen,

neither shall the beast of the land devour them; but they shall dwell safely,

and none shall make them afraid. And I will raise up for them a plant of renown,

and they shall be no more consumed with hunger in the land, neither bear the shame

of the heathen any more. Thus shall they know that I the LORD their God am with them,

and that they, even the house of Israel, are my people, saith the Lord GOD.  

And ye my flock, the flock of my pasture, are men,

and I am your God, saith the Lord GOD.”

Ezekiel 34:26 – 31

 

“Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that it shall no more be said,

The LORD liveth, that brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;

But,

The LORD liveth, that brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north,

and from all the lands whither he had driven them: and I will bring them again

into their land that I gave unto their fathers.

 

Therefore, behold, I will this once cause them to know,

I will cause them to know mine hand and my might;

and they shall know that my name is The LORD.”

Jeremiah 16:14,15,21

 

***

 

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

 

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:

 

This month’s questions are intended for youth aged ten (10) and above.

 

FEBRUARY / MARCH 2007 JOURNAL QUESTIONS:  241 - 250:

 

241.

Who became Abraham’s wife after Sarah died?

 

242.

How old was Abraham when he died?

 

243.

How old was Isaac when he took Rebekah to wife?

 

244.

Rebekah was barren.  What does it mean for a woman to be barren?

 

245.

What happened that caused Rebekah to finally conceive a child?

 

246.

Why did Rebekah enquire of the LORD after she became pregnant? 

 

247.

Why is it said, today, that Jacob stole Esau’s Birthright?  And did he, really?

 

248.

How is it that Jacob received Isaac’s Blessing?

 

249.

What was Esau’s Blessing?

 

250.

Why did Rebekah tell Jacob to “flee” to Laban her brother?

 

***

 

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.

 

***

 

“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

CHILDREN’S SHORT STORY…

 

The following children’s story is for young brothers and sisters aged twelve and older to read with their parents…

 

GANG BANGING FUN, Part 2

 

“We don’t want to be bad, and really a lot of kinds on the street are good kids.  They just come from bad homes.  None of us got daddy’s and some of us ain’t got mommas neither.  I know kids who stay with they grandmas cause they mommas is dead.  We just want to survive.  Yes, we dropouts and some of us steal, but society is what made us monsters.  We are doomed in the States, and we know it.  But what choices do we have if we have no place but the hood?  We learn ways to survive.  We have to, and even then, some of us make it, and some of us don’t,” said Will. 

 

“Thank you for being so candid with us, Will, and we want all of you to know that we are going to show you exactly how to survive but in ways that are rewarding, meaningful, and better for all of you.  Yes, we are going to show you exactly how to do that, my young brothers and sisters,” Brother Micah told them.

 

The children didn’t know what to say.  They just looked at Brother Micah wondering how he could do anything to make their lives on the streets better.

 

“I hope you know that it will take a miracle,” said Jason.  Them people walking the ghetto is dead.  Yeah, they the walking dead,” he told them.  “A blind man can see that.”

 

***

 

“Right now, we don’t want you to worry about what goes on in the States, Jason.  We want you to be happy and enjoy yourself here in our Community.  Can you all please try to do that for us?” asked Brother Micah.

 

“What I have seen, you can’t forget so easy,” Will told him.

 

“For real,” said Jason.

 

“We’ll try,” said Tonya.  “There is so much to see here, and I think in a day or so, we’ll forget for a while, until we remember our family,” she said.

 

“I’ll tell you one thing,” said Shayne, “I will remember this food every time I get hungry.  That is for sure!” she said bringing laughter to everyone.

 

After dinner the Brothers wasted no time getting to Brother Micah to let him know that they wished to be host to the young teens.  Brother Jonathan told him that he would take Will, as his guest, Brother Nathan said he would take Michael, and Brother Yah-a-cov said he would take Jason.

 

Then Brother Micah asked, “Well, what about me?  I want to host one of these young brothers myself,” he told them.

 

“Well, I don’t think anyone has a problem sharing our guests,” said Brother Yah-a-cov.  “And next time, you just have to speak up and move a little faster, Brother.  You know the saying: ‘He who hesitates is lost,’ he said.  “Maybe I’ll give you a day or two with Jason; we’ll see,” he said with one wide grin letting everyone know that he was pulling his leg.

 

“Don’t worry, honey,” said Jerushala, “we have Tonya staying with us.  She’ll be good for Gideon.  He’ll have the big sister he has always wanted.”

 

“That’ll be nice.  I never thought of that,” he told his wife.  “But I don’t think Gideon will be pushing his chores off on Tonya too much,” laughing and thinking about the age difference of the two.

 

“No, Brother, he can push all his chores off on me.  I am so happy to be here that I’ll do his chores and everybody else’s, too,” said Tonya.

 

“Now, that’s what I’m talking about!  Have I got me a big sister or what?” said Gideon bowing to everyone’s laughter.

 

“You got me for a brother, Gilead,” said Will.  “It don’t matter we don’t stay in the same house.  I got lots of brothers on the street, and we look out for each other when we together.  So, now I can look out for you, too.”

 

Gilead thought about what Will had said.  “I would like that.  I think I will like that a lot…my brother,” he said smiling. 

 

“While we still have time before sundown, how would all of you like to take a ride around the Community before you retire?  I know you’re tired,” said Brother Micah, “so you don’t have to go if you don’t want to.”

 

“Not me.  I ain’t too tired,” said Jason.

 

“Me neither,” echoed the others.

 

“Well, that settles that.  We’ll take the minibus.  And all who can fit in after our guests take their seats, can ride along with us.  Which one of you Brothers want to take the wheel?” asked Brother Micah.  “I won’t lie.  I am tired from that long flight.  So, I’ll go, but I won’t do the driving.” 

 

“I’ll take it,” said Brother Jonathan.  “It’s my turn to pick up some supplies with the bus, so I may as well drive and keep it so I can do my assignment tomorrow.”

 

“Excuse me, but nobody said where I’ll be staying,” said Shayne with dismay, “so, before we go, can I know who I will be staying with?” she continued with a little concern.

 

“Oh, sweetheart, I’m sorry,” said Sister Leah, giving Shayne a hug, “you’ll be staying with me.  I have two children who will simply adore you.”

 

Shayne smiled and seemed to beam from head to toe and was obviously very pleased to be staying with Sister Leah.  She missed her siblings and wondered if Sister Leah’s children would like her.

 

“Okay, gang,” said Brother Jonathan smiling at his use of the word “gang.”  “That sun is waiting for no one, so let’s go before it’s too dark to see anything.

 

Sister Jerushala gathered the teens together fussing over them like a mother hen.  “Now you all go have fun and enjoy yourselves,” she told them.  “Don’t have these young people out too late. Even though they won’t admit it, you have to realize that they are tired, too.”

 

“You ain’t going with us, Sister ma’am,” asked Jason who seemed to take to Sister Jerushala, as if she were his Emah.

 

“No, child; not this time.  Sister Leah and I are going to stay and straighten up the kitchen and dining room.  I’ll see you tomorrow.  As a matter of fact, I’ll probably be seeing you every day except the Sabbath, but I’ll see you then, too, should you be staying here on that day,” she told him giving him a hug, sensing he might need one.

 

With that all the teens and the Brothers and a few Sisters who attended the welcome dinner walked the two blocks to the car port to take the minibus. 

 

“All these houses nice,” said Shayne.  “Just look at all the pretty bushes and flowers.”

 

“And the grass is thick enough to sleep on,” said Michael.

 

“When the teens passed Brother Abe’s house, they saw all ten of his children, aged three to twelve, playing on the front.  Some were on the porch, in the grass, on the swings, and in or out of wagons taking a ride or pulling one.

 

“All those kids live in that one house?” asked Michael.”

 

“Sure do,” said one of the Brothers.

 

“Those got to be Ba-ba’s kids,” said Michael laughing.  “Ba-ba’s kids in Gilead,” he said still laughing and counting them all, “one, two, three, four, five…ten!  Wow, ten kids!  Everybody here got a lot of kids?” he asked Brother Nathan. 

 

After he finished cracking his side, Brother Nathan explained to Michael that the thinking in Gilead is different from the way people think in the States.  “Israelites choose to have big families.  It’s our custom, our way of life.”

 

“In the States, Michael, people frown on having a lot of children.  As you know, too many young women are unmarried and raising their children on their own without financial support from their children’s fathers.  And unfortunately, in many cases they don’t know where the father is.  This creates serious problems that stem from one generation to another.  But it’s not like that here.  In our Hebrew Community the Brothers own up to their responsibilities and take care of their wives and their children, or they do not marry.  And our Sisters don’t have babies until they marry, if you know what I mean.  The Brothers here know that marriage is out of the question if they cannot afford to take care of a wife, children, and a household.  Responsibility is being in a position to pull your own weight.  Men in the States will get married and send their wives out to work, while they sit at home doing nothing.  Some Sisters here do work, but it is by choice rather than by responsibility.  Many of our Sisters work right here raising the standards of our Way of Life in the Community, and their husbands are right there with them setting positive examples for our children.  This is our Way of Life that we all respect in order that we have no Ba-ba’s kids here,” said Brother Nathan, with a chuckle.  “Here, we have children for the Glory of Our GOD of Israel.  The more we have, the more children that will Praise HIM.  And the more we teach them about HIS Ways of Righteousness, the more beautiful our children will be.  That’s how Our GOD of Israel likes it, and so that’s how we want it.”

 

“Jacob had twelve boys and one girl that we know about.  Brother Abe, with his ten beautiful children wants to top Jacob, so he’s got three more to go.  And the wonderful thing about it is that Brother Abe raises his children to know the ONE GOD of Israel, to know HIS LAW, and to be admirable kids.  And everyone loves them whether they have their own children or not.  All his older children are smart in school, in sports, and in other activities.  Plus, they play musical instruments.  These kids are far from being Ba-ba’s kids, son, as you will soon learn, said Brother Yah-a-cov.”

 

“Yeah, okay, if it like that, you right.  Then they ain’t the Ba-ba kids I know,” said Michael. 

 

Upon reaching the carport, Brother Jonathan unlocked the minibus for everyone to board.  “Let’s have all our guests on the driver’s side of the bus at the windows, so they won’t miss anything.  I’ll be sure to drive so that the attractions will be on my left, where they will be sitting,” he explained.

 

The teens were first to board and rushed upon the minibus taking seats, all excited at taking a ride around the Community where they would be staying for three months.  With all aboard who was going aboard, Brother Jonathan closed the doors and said,” We’ll pass by our school complex first,” thinking the teens would be happy to see the place where the children spend most of their free time.

 

“I’m not such a good tour guide, but I’ll do my best.  I’d appreciate it if some of you Brothers and Sisters will help me with providing information about our Community.  There’s just so much a Brother can remember about our huge Blessing,” said Brother Jonathan.

 

“Don’t worry, we got yo’ back, literally,” Brother Micah shouted out to him with a laugh.

 

As they approached the entry into the school, the teens read aloud the name of the school complex:  “The House of Wisdom and Knowledge.”

 

“Wow, what you all teach in this place?  What that mean, ‘Wisdom and Knowledge?’  Readin’ and writin’ and ‘rithmetic?” asked Jason.

 

“We teach all that and much, much more,” Brother Micah told him.

 

“O man!” yelled Will who had been quiet and just taking in all he heard and had seen.  “They got a real basketball court here!”

 

And as Brother Jonathan drove pass it, Jason spied the swimming pool.  “Y’all got a swimming pool?  Y’all got a swimming pool!” he repeated, as if he just could not believe his eyes.

 

“Yes, son, we have two swimming pools:  one outdoors and one indoors.  Can you swim?”  Brother Yah-a-cov asked him.

 

“No, but I can learn!” he exclaimed.  “I been wantin’ to swim all my life.  Will you teach me, Brother?  Will you teach me?” asked Jason excitedly.

 

Smiling, Brother Yah-a-cov was totally surprised at Jason’s desire for him to teach him to swim.  “Sure, I can teach you, but you will start lessons, as soon as you are registered for school.  And we will get that out of the way, first thing in the morning.

 

“We goin’ to school?” they asked in unison looking around at all the Brothers and Sisters who returned the puzzled gaze right back at them. 

 

“Of course you’re going to school.  Don’t you want to?” asked Brother Micah.

 

“Yes!” they shouted, laughing and high fiving all around.

 

“You will attend classes just like all the teens here in the Community.  I don’t think any of us thought you all would be so excited about attending school,” said Brother Micah starting to smile happily.

 

“What a pleasant surprise, indeed,” said one of the Sisters.

 

“I think we don’t have to worry about these kids any more,” said Brother Jonathan.  “I also think this experiment will be a Blessing for them and for us, PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME!

 

“This is the baseball field, and the football field is on the other side, and beyond it we have our tennis courts.  Once a year we host a tournament and compete with other schools within the country.  And soon we will be sending our children to compete with others in Europe, Africa, and in other parts of the Middle East.  We are really excited about that,” said Brother Micah.

 

The children’s eyes widened and their faces smiled, and only Tonya spoke.

 

“If we’re still here, can we play, too?” she asked.

 

“Why not?  All students are eligible to compete in any of the competitions.  The only stipulation is that they maintain a B- or above average in their academic studies. 

 

“I can do that,” said Michael.

 

“And I told you, I can learn,” said Jason.

 

“There ain’t nothin’ I can’t do if I put my head to it.  I’m even good in math, and I got good grades when I did go to school,” said Shayne. 

 

“We will work together and help each other,” Brother.  That’s how we do it on the streets,” said Will.

 

“Listen, with your positive attitudes, I have no doubts that you will all learn quickly and will do well in all your classes.  Actually, I couldn’t be more proud of you.  You have all proven to be great choices,” Brother Nathan told them.

 

“If any of you need tutoring, it’s available in school, and anyone of us will also serve to help you get your grades up to par with the other students on your level,” Brother Micah told them.  No one will expect you to be on the same level with the students here,” he told them in hopes that they would not be discouraged.

 

“I don’t mean to be rude or disrespectful,” said Will, “but give us a chance to see what we can do on our own.  And then, if we need help, we’ll ask for it.  I can’t speak for everybody, ‘cause I only met the others since coming here.  But I believe they can handle these classes on their own if they just study like they suppose to.  We ain’t dummies, Brother.  We got brains.  Our English ain’t all that good, but it’s ‘cause we spend time on the streets.  And just ‘cause we come from the streets, it don’t mean we retarded,” Will explained.  “So please don’t take offense.  Just understand that we tired of people thinkin’ we stupid and can’t learn in school.  All we need is good teachers and a fair chance, and we didn’t get that in the States.”

 

For a while nothing was said, and Will thought he was surely in hot water for being so candid.

 

“Son,” said Brother Micah, “I don’t think any of us have taken offense to your comment.  And to tell you the absolute truth, I, personally, am pleased to hear it.  Your confidence and willingness to learn shows your determination to prepare yourself to do whatever is necessary to be a part of our Community.  I cannot say enough that you make me proud.  And indeed, we have learned from you in just these few hours,” Brother Micah told him.

 

“We won’t let you down,” Brother,” said Tonya.  We know y’all were nervous about us coming here, but there’s nothing we can say to really make you feel better.  We just have to show you,” she said, not to anyone in particular but just to say what was in her heart.

 

“With that said, Tonya, we are believers: so, enough said!” exclaimed Brother Micah pleased as punch.

 

“If you will all take a look at the building coming up on your left, you will see our Health Center,” said Brother Jonathan.

 

“Y’all got doctors here, too?” asked Jason.

 

“No doctors, son, but a place to store and sell herbs and obtain information on health care,” said Brother Jonathan who oversees the Center.

 

“Well, what do y’all do when you get sick and need to go to the hospital?” asked Shayne.

 

“Our GOD of Israel gave us a brain to know HIM and to Fear HIM to do HIS WILL, and when we do, HE watches over us to keep us well and safe.  And when we get a cold, as some of us with brains do, because we did not dress properly for the rain, the cold, or the snow, we go to the Health Center for herbs that might make us feel better,” Brother Jonathan explained using his familiar sarcasm.

 

“Y’all get snow here, too?” asked Jason.  “How cold it gets here?”

 

“It gets cold enough to snow here, and we get snow every winter.  Most of the time it’s just a dusting to two inches or sleet, but in the past the capital has measured more than a meter of snow, which is more than three feet.  So, you see, it can get pretty cold in Jordan.  The Health Center also has a wing where our babies are born and where mother and child are taken care of for a week, giving mother an opportunity to rest and bond with her new born.   And if a man-child is born, then the parents circumcise their baby on the eight day, and then they go home,” Brother Jonathan told him.

 

“Circum what?” asked Jason.

 

“That will be one of the immediate topics for discussion, Jason, in a day or so, I promise,” said Brother Micah.  “Right now, we just do not have enough time today to discuss it.”

 

Jason was puzzled but agreed.

 

“So far, with GOD’s Blessings, more than fifty healthy babies have been born in this facility, and I can’t tell you how many of the Jordanians’ babies have also been born here.  But they only stay for two days.  We help the Jordanians out whenever we can.  By the way, I am proud to say, Jordanian children also attend our House of Wisdom and Knowledge.  But that’s not all this Health Center provides.  We have a state of the arts gym for the Hebrew Community on the basement level.  You see sometimes, like today, we eat a little more delicious foods than we should, like that cake and pie, etc., etc., and consequently we need the exercise.  And along with the gym and daily walks, four to five times a week, we keep our weight down and maintain healthier hearts and bodies.  Some of us even take Martial Arts classes.  I’m a Black Belt, myself,” said Brother Jonathan.

 

O, Brother, please let me join,” said Michael.  “I’ll have the best grades.  You’ll see.  I always wanted to be a Black Belt.  And now I want to know about your GOD, too.  HE gave y’all everything.  I wish my mother could see all this.  She would think she was in heaven.  This is the life she would love,” said Michael.  “Then she would not worry about nothin’, ‘specially not ‘bout me.  She think I’m gonna get into trouble and go to jail, too.  But I love this place, so why would I get into any trouble here.”

 

“You can take the Martial Arts class, son,” Brother Jonathan told him.  I’ll make sure to register you tomorrow,” he told him.  And let me tell you,” said Brother Jonathan, “all of you will most certainly learn about the GOD of Israel.  That is a promise.  And do know that it is HE that has made all this Community possible for us.  Therefore, we cannot jeopardize our stay here by denying HIM HIS due Praise and Glory.  And we have no desire to turn from HIS Righteous Way of Life.  You see, we know what turning from HIM means for us, and it would not be good.  Therefore, we are about keeping HIS Commandments and Ordinances.  This is what we are all about for HE and HIS Law are our life.”

 

“I don’t know what all you are talkin’ ‘bout, but I want to learn that, too,” said Tonya.

 

“Me, too,” said the others.

 

“Yo’ GOD seems real.  I mean I can see what HE does for you, and I want HIM to work like that for me,” said Tonya.  “There is nothing real with the ‘God’ that’s in the church.  It’s like we see him on the cross, but what good does that do?  He don’t see what we’re going through, or he jess don’t care.  And I’m tired of people telling me to jess keep believing in him.  I can’t ignore what I see on the streets, people sleeping in cardboard boxes, eatin’ out the garbage, people and kids all strung out on drugs wit they brains all screwed up.  They don’t know if they comin’ or goin’.  He can’t see that?  He sufferin’, and we sufferin’, too.  It ain’t suppose to be like that.  He was suppose to die, so we wouldn’t suffer.  But go figure, ‘cause Black people suffer like nobody’s business.  I can’t figure it out.  I just don’t know.”

 

“Tonya, said Brother Micah, “you have asked all the right questions, and your concerns are certainly justified.  Just know that you will soon learn exactly why this world is like it is, and why Black people suffer more than any other groups on this Earth.  You will know, and afterwards when you see it all in GOD’s WORD, you will understand.  I just hope you and the others will accept it.”

 

“Brother, I want a GOD that is real, that hears my prayers, ‘cause I cry, and I pray all the time.  And only now it seem like my prayers been answered.  For a long time I wanted a nice place to stay and to get off the streets…for a real long time.  Then you found me and asked me to consider going to Gilead.  I didn’t know where Gilead was, but I knew it had to be better than where I was.  And after hearing all you told us about this place, I knew then that GOD, your GOD, had finally heard my prayers.  I thank HIM for bringing me out of there, even if it is just for three months,” Tonya told him.

 

“She right, Brother.  Yo’ GOD got to be workin’ for us.  I feel like comin’ here is like I been released from prison, and I ain’t never been in no prison, not even to go see somebody,” said Will.  “Unless you been on the streets, y’all really don’t know what we talkin’ ‘bout til you been there and done that.  But it had to be yo’ GOD that did all this.”

 

“For real!” said Jason.

 

“We might be gangbangers, but now we gangbangers for yo’ GOD for bringiin’ us here.  Now we still gang bangin’, but we havin’ fun with it,” said Jason.

 

“And I ain’t even playin’,” said Shayne.

 

“PRAISE THE LORD!” shouted Brother Micah, and the other Brothers and Sisters echoed his sentiments.  “PRAISE THE LORD GOD of Israel always and forever!”

 

“Coming up is the school that you all will be attending tomorrow,” said Brother Jonathan.

 

“Holy moly,” exclaimed Shayne.

 

“WOW!” said Michael.

 

“I’m in heaven and didn’t even know it,” said Will.

 

“If it ain’t heaven, it will do,” said Tonya.

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.

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

RUSSEL SHOATS PETITION

 

To:  Gov. Edward Rendell

 

Governor of Pennsylvania,

225 Main Capital Building,

Harrisburg, PA, 17120


Honorable Edward Rendell,


Russell Shoats (z) is a 61-year-old man who has been in prison for over 33 years. For over ten of those years he has been in “solitary confinement." He is held at SCI-Greene, which is over 300 miles away from his family, who are based in Philadelphia. He is a father, grandfather and “model prisoner,” who has only had one minor rule infraction in over 15 years.


After a prison blood test and two other examinations, it was discovered that he is probably suffering from prostate cancer.


I ask you to use the powers of your office to assure us that Russell Shoats (z) will receive all of the medical care he needs. Further, we ask that you see that he is immediately transferred to one of the states Level Four Maximum Security Prisons; either SCI-Graterford or SCI-Frackville, so that his family doesn't have to travel for twelve hours to visit him.


As governor, you share responsibility with the state's Department of Corrections for providing safety and security for u.s. citizens. Included among these responsibilities are the duties of providing for the health needs of state prisoners and helping them maintain ties with their family members.


We call on you to ensure that these things are carried out.

 

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

 

Shortcut: http://www.petitiononline.com/shoatz/petition.html

PAROLE NOTICE

 

All right, gentlemen, let’s keep the momentum going.  Recently, Congressman Sensenbrenner has established three phone numbers for our family members to call and voice support for federal parole to be reestablished.  This is a very positive step, which dictates even more congressional interest in the parole issue.  Please!!!  Pick up the phone, call your family and friends, and provide them with the three phone numbers below and tell them to call the above Congressman as soon as they hang up the phone.  Also do let them know why parole is so necessary, i.e., the money that parole will save from an already over-taxed system could be used for far more necessary purposes. 

 

First time offenders with life or near life sentences that result from draconian mandatory minimum laws deserve at least an opportunity to earn a second chance (NOTE:  the parole bill, as written, is applicable to everyone, so this statement in no way will limit parole to just first time offenders; it’s just political language used to achieve a goal), and the elderly inmates with extensive medical problems, and in no way could ever be a continued threat to society, should be provided with a means to at least spend their last few years with loved ones.

 

LEAVE MESSAGE FOR CONGRESSMAN SENSENBRENNER AT:

 

                        1-800-242-1119 (FREE)

                        1-262-784-1111 (WISCONSIN)

                        1-202-225-5101 (WASHINGTON, D.C.)

 

These numbers have been established for this very purpose, so let’s be quick to respond.

 

Also, it’s important to note that bills take an average of five (5) years before gaining the necessary congressional support to become law, which only happens after a number of reintroductions, gaining more and more signatures as it builds momentum.  This will be the parole bill’s third year since its initial introduction by Congressman Danny K. Davis, and has since only gained more and more support.  Such a process takes commitment on our part to consistently encourage our family and friends to repetitively voice their support through all the denials along the way until success is ours, which can be reasonably expected within the next 2 – 3 years.

 

Of course this is a message written only to those who actually prefer investing toward freedom, as opposed to incarceration – a preference seen by one’s behavior alone.

[This article is posted with much hope that our incarcerated Brothers and Sisters will learn the TRUTH about the Most High CREATOR GOD of Israel and will make efforts to know HIM and HIS Ways of Righteousness.  In making the GOD of Israel their total focus and learning to live and do HIS Way of Life and change their wrong doings, they will encourage the Holy ONE to hear their prayers and remove them from their prisons.  Therefore, by all means, please disseminate this information.  T.Y., Editor]
