HAPPY
PASSOVER
No matter how
hard they try; a lot of x-tians are going to find it difficult to explain their
so-called holiday; after all the fuss over the newly discover bones of their
resurrected “messianic-god” are alleged to have been found in a tomb. Think about the contradictions that the
discovery of the tomb’s contents raise.
A believer would have to ask him or herself, “How could there have been
a resurrection if there are remains in a tomb?”
The discovery of the bones and tomb was not done by an archeologist;
therefore, the whole thing is discredited as a wild story. Regardless, the fact remains the pillar upon
which the whole basis of x-tianity is built has now been challenged; did “jc”
raise from the dead?
The GOD of
Yisrael has never died and never will (Alpha and Omega); even when men try to replace
him with the false gods such as the “messianic-god” referred to in the opening
paragraph. The Passover celebration
shows how the MOST HIGH GOD of Yisrael proved HIMSELF to be a GOD before the
world by delivering the Nation of Yisrael out of

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

LOOKING IN THE “WEST” JUST ABOVE THE HORIZON.
“He
appointed the moon for seasons…”
Psalm
104:19
The first “Sign” in the
Heavens to provide the start of days, years and “seasons” can only begin with
the “Sighting” of the New Moon Crescent - that which we can “see” in order for
it to serve as a “Sign” and enable us to begin counting our days and
months. Just imagine not being able to
“see” the moon at all. How then could it
be appointed for a “Sign” or for “seasons”?
“The natural thought might be
that the moon is like a living being. It
is born, grows, reaches maximum size, then fades and dies, going through all
these stages in one month. Even today,
we still talk of the thin crescent in the western sky as a new moon
and the thin crescent in the eastern sky a month later as the old
moon. Half way between is the full
moon. As I explained earlier, this
cycle of phases of the moon established the month as a unit of time, and the first
calendars were based on this.” ISAAC
ASIMOV’S GUIDE TO EARTH AND SPACE, pages 79 and 80
In that the King of Israel is
supposed to be a “Righteous Judge” (II Chronicles 1:11), it stands to
reason that he is also supposed to be a “Righteous Role Model.” Thus, if the King that GOD appoints over
To their and our hurt our
forefathers worshipped all manner of symbols:
the sun, moon, stars, and images of gold and silver. To observe the “Sign” in the heavens as being
the New Moon “Sighting” is NOT worshipping the moon, but rather it is doing as
we are COMMANDED in Genesis 1:14:
“And God said, Let there be lights
in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them
be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:”
Some people feel that the
moon has no “light,” but according to GOD’s WORD to HIS Prophets, it most
certainly does: Isaiah 13:10; Isaiah
30:26; Jeremiah 31:35; Ezekiel 32:7.

aloud unto God our strength: make a
joyful noise unto 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, i.e., reflects the
light of the sun, IT STILL SHINES!
And the fact that Scripture attests to this fact, is what’s
important: Isaiah 60:19; Jeremiah 31:35;
and Ezekiel 32:7. Therefore, Genesis
1:14 is proof enough that we must use the shining New Moon Crescents as
“…SIGNS, AND FOR SEASONS, AND FOR DAYS, AND FOR YEARS:”
Some Israelites, along
with White Jews, use the dark phase of the moon to determine the start of a new
month. If the dark phase of the moon
lasts for “2-3 days,” then which of these days is supposed to be the
distinguishing “Sign” that determines the First Day of the month? Or do we just arbitrarily select either/or
depending on the imaginations of our hearts?
On the contrary, with the use
of the sighted “Sign” of the
“So David hid himself in the
field: and WHEN THE NEW MOON WAS COME, the king sat him down to eat
meat.” I Samuel 20:24
At the time of the dark
phases of the moon (generally 2-3 days), as previously written, there is no
“moon” in SIGHT. Therefore, I Samuel
20:24 sheds more light on Genesis 1:14. “WHEN
THE NEW MOON WAS COME,” is clearly telling readers that this is a
reference to a visible “
The only problem that
presents itself when using the “New Moon Sighting” to call the First Day of the
month is cloud coverage, as this prevents the ability to see the
“Then Solomon offered burnt
offerings unto the LORD on the altar of the LORD, which he had built before the
porch,
“Even after a certain rate
every day, offering according to the commandment of Moses, on the sabbaths, and
on the new moons, and on the solemn feasts, three times in the year,
even in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the
feast of tabernacles.” II Chronicles 8:12,13
Unless there is an emergency,
please try not to buy or sell on this day.
Conduct all financial and business transactions prior to the day of the
New Moon. Interesting enough, II Kings
4:23,24 constitutes the New Moon as being a day to seek “the man of God.” Although the New Moon is NOT a Day of
Rest, Our GOD did set it aside for recognition:
“Blow up the trumpet in
the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day.” Psalm 81:3
“And it shall come to pass,
that from one new moon to another, and from one Sabbath to another, shall
all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD.” Isaiah 66:23
“…When will the new moon
be gone, that we may sell corn?…”
Amos 8:5
Probably, the Scripture
that most determines and clarifies the fact that our New Moons are Feast Days
is Ezekiel 45:17:
“And it shall be the prince’s
part to give burnt offerings, and meat offerings, and drink offerings, in
the feasts, and in the NEW MOONS, and in the Sabbaths, in ALL
SOLEMNITIES of the house of Israel: he
shall prepare the sin offering, and the meat offering, and the burnt offering,
and the peace offerings, to make reconciliation for the HOUSE OF ISRAEL.” (Caps. are mine.)
Unequivocally, our New
Moons are included in these “SOLEMNITIES” mentioned in Ezekiel 45:17.
“Likewise the people of
the land shall worship at the door of this gate before the LORD in the
Sabbaths [Feasts – NOT 7th Day Sabbaths*] and in the NEW MOONS.” Ezekiel 46:3 (Brackets are mine.)
Thereby, this verse
justifies the First Day of each month being our “Feast” Day. It should be realized that the Feast Days
that Our GOD selected (Leviticus 23rd Chapter) are “Holy Convocations,” i.e.,
on these days we cannot do any work.
However, because King Saul observed the New Moon as a Feast Day, we have
every reason to do so, as well. We
also have learned that our forefathers traveled to the
When we return to our
heritage and worship YIHOVAH according to HIS Ways, then we can establish our
own “Calendar of the Universe,” whereby, the days of the New Moon and all GOD’s
Holy Days will be recognized by the whole entire World. And I am sure that it will be the desire of
the Righteous Remnant and ALL the world to make a Feast to the Most High GOD of
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob/Israel every First Day of the Month.
ALSO, I believe that if
Lot (Genesis 19:3) and Abraham (Genesis 21:8) can proclaim “Feasts,” then there
is no stipulation for NOT establishing Feast Days, as we so desire. Therefore, to proclaim a feast to EXALT
the Holy ONE of Israel on the First Day of each month is quite acceptable -
given the Scripture (above) regarding worshipping Our LORD GOD of ISRAEL, Our
SAVIOR, on the New Moons. We should
know that throughout the Tanakh Hebrew Israelites called for “feasts” for
various occasions. Therefore, we are
within our rights to observe a Feast every New Moon to Our GOD, the GOD of
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob/Israel. And
those of us who love this WONDERFUL GOD and who choose HIM to EXALT HIM for
being the ONLY LORD and SAVIOR can be at liberty to use the day of the New Moon
to show forth HIS PRAISE in a “feast” and worship HIM in Jerusalem FOREVER.

behold, it was a dream. And he came to

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
“Six
days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you an holy
day, a sabbath of rest to the LORD: whosoever doeth work therein shall be put
to death.” Exodus 35:1,2
“Six
days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation
[“HOLY DAY”]; ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of the LORD in all
your dwellings.” Leviticus
23:3
“Six
days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the
LORD: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to
death. Wherefore the children of
“And
on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the
seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and
sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God
created and made.” Genesis 2:2,3
Significantly, in the
beginning when the Holy ONE of
If “ALL” GOD’s
COMMANDMENTS are sure, then for sure, we must give credence to Exodus 16:29 and
abide in our places on GOD’s HOLY Seventh Day of Complete REST as we are
COMMANDED TO DO!
“He hath shewed his people
the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen. The
works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure.” Psalm 111:7
GOD’s Holy Seventh Day
Sabbath of REST is not only one of HIS Greatest WORKS of all time, but this
Holy Day is an extraordinary “SIGN” between this Most High GOD, the CREATOR and
HIS Chosen People, the Children of Israel!
This Seventh Day also marks the Anniversary of GOD ending the Creations
of the Heavens, Earth, man, and all that is therein.
“Thus the heavens and the
earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on the seventh day God ended
his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work
which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it:
because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.” Genesis 2:1 - 3
“And he said unto them, This
is that which the LORD hath said, Tomorrow is the rest of the holy sabbath
unto the LORD: bake that which ye will bake today, and seethe that ye will
seethe; and that which remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the
morning.
“See, for that the LORD hath
given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of
two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on
the seventh day.” Exodus 16:23,29
CONCERNING
“HOLY CONVOCATION”
The issue stemming from
the meaning of “Holy Convocation” written in Leviticus 23rd Chapter
is real, and the interpretation is grossly misunderstood. “Holy Convocation” does not mean “To
Gather.” And the sin committed by
traveling and gathering on the CREATOR’s Holy Sabbath of Complete REST has
grave consequences (Exodus 31:12 - 18).
Conclusive evidence that
“holy convocation” DOES NOT mean to assemble is provided in the passage on
Passover. In Exodus 12:16 we are told
that Passover is a “holy convocation” but yet, we are Commanded to observe this
High Holy Day with our immediate families and only to join with another family
if one’s members are too few for the lamb (Exodus 12:4). This proves without a doubt that “holy
convocation” cannot mean to assemble, but rather to keep the holy days “HOLY.” Some call attention to the fact that because
Israelites were Commanded to ”…turn in the morning and go into their
tents” (Deuteronomy 16:5-7) that this is
proof of an assembly. Those Israelite
families that joined with others are the ones GOD Commanded to return to their
tents.
The Holy ONE of
The wise, obedient ones
understand the great importance of observing this Seventh Day of Rest exactly
as GOD Commanded and will not add to or diminish from this Law of the “Blessed,”
“Sanctified,” and “Holy” Seventh Day Sabbath.

[Hmmmm…fennel keeps away hunger.
Now, that should help me with my weight loss program. And yes, mackerel is not kosher for
Israelites. It has no scales. And the “fat” that we are not to eat is in reference
to the “fat” of the sacrifices (Leviticus 3rd and 4th Chapters). Although, I do refrain from eating fat for
health reasons, only the fat of the sacrifices cannot be eaten. And for sure, we are never to eat any
manner of blood at all. T.Y.,

Fennel
(Foeniculum Vulgare)
The seeds and leaves of fennel can be used to flavor bread,
buns, cakes, pastries, soups, stews, pickled mackerel and fish. The greens are
used to flavor fish sauce. When cooked with mackerel Fennel eliminates
oiliness.
Medicinally: Fennel is a diuretic and also has properties for soothing babies
gripes and gas. It is recommended for obesity, and during fasting it keeps away
hunger. It is also an antidote for food poisoning and upset stomachs.

APPROVES MASS PLANTING OF GM RICE

(NewsTarget) For the first time, the USDA has given preliminary approval for
large-scale planting of a genetically engineered food crop containing human
genes. The rice grains, produced by California-based Ventria Bioscience,
synthesize a human immune protein. The public comment period for this decision
lasts until March 30, after which the decision will be finalized.

acres of the modified rice in

• Anheuser-Busch had the same concern as many critics of genetically engineered
plants, which is that genes from engineered varieties may spread to and
"genetically pollute" non-engineered or even wild relatives of the
plants.
• Critics of the USDA's decision have expressed concern that genetic pollution
in this case could cause potentially dangerous pharmacological proteins to
contaminate the food supply. The same day that the USDA gave the new rice the green
light, it announced that rice seed in
• According to Ventria, the genetically engineered rice could allow the cheap
production of immune proteins that have been shown to help children recover
faster from severe diarrhea. It is seeking FDA approval to add the protein to
foods such as yogurt and granola.

towards protecting corporate profits rather than public health. The motives of
a regulatory agency that would allow such crops to be planted in open fields
are highly questionable.

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!

Passover, commemorating GOD’s Deliverance of Israel out of Ancient
Egypt, is upon us, and we must prepare to observe it “according to all that the
LORD Commanded Moses…”
“And ye shall observe this
thing for an ordinance to thee and to thy sons for ever.”

spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the first month of the second
year after they were come out of the

the LORD your God, as it is
written in the book of this covenant.” II Kings 23:21
Remembering GOD’s Passover every year is heartening for many
reasons. There is hope for us, and we
can feel good knowing that if Our GOD heard the prayers of our forefathers in
their bondage down in
“For though thy people
“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 I will set mine eyes upon them for
good, and I will bring them again to this land: and I will build them, and not
pull them down; and I will plant them, and not pluck them up. And
I will give them an heart to know me, that I am the LORD: and they shall
be my people, and I will be their God: for they shall return unto me with their
whole heart.” Jeremiah 24:6,7

numbered among those precious few, those who will be Blessed to live before the Most High CREATOR GOD of
Israel in Righteousness and serve and worship HIM in HIS

intents of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it.”

Until that time it behooves us to remember GOD’s Covenant with Abraham,
Isaac, and Jacob/Israel, which so happens to also include us, IF we will choose to be obedient and
will discern between what’s right and what’s wrong and “stand not in the
counsel of the ungodly.”
“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
“But if thou shalt indeed obey
his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies,
and an adversary unto thine adversaries.” Exodus 23:22

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
“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
Throughout the “Old
Testament,” the Hebrew Scriptures, Our Most High GOD of
We are down to the wire now,
we witness the final days of Gentile rule, and Our GOD is opening up our eyes
to HIS Truth giving us a way out and a means to return to HIM again IF WE WILL
ONLY LISTEN to HIS Prophets who left us HIS LAW and HIS WORD to follow. The
Passover down in Egypt that gave the Great GOD of Israel ALL THE GLORY and made
an Awesome Holy Name for HIM is the one event in history that should make the
world know and understand beyond a shadow of a doubt that there is but ONE GOD,
and HIS Holy Name is the GOD of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
“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
That being a given, the SEED of Jacob/Israel, of all people, by now
should realize that Our GOD of Abraham and Moses exists for HIS Covenant
People, Israel, and will not, under any circumstances, forego HIS Glorious Plan
to establish HIS Paths of Righteousness on HIS Planet Earth via HIS Covenant
People. Thus, this is just one of the
reasons why we cannot forsake the CREATOR GOD of Israel for false gods but
rather FEAR, HOPE, TRUST, and BELIEVE in ONLY HIM and to remember HIS Covenant
always. After all, HE did form us to
show forth HIS PRAISE (Isaiah 43:21).
“And I will establish my covenant between me
and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting
covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee. And
I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a
stranger, all the

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

forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy

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 16:60 - 63
People can observe Passover, but if they think that observance of this
Holy Day (or even all GOD’s Holy Days) will resolve our troubles, then they
assume wrongly and do not know the WORD of GOD.
The only answers to our suffering and ending the perils of this world
lie in our responding to what is required of us, i.e., what we believe in our
hearts, and whether we will accept the CREATOR GOD and live by HIS Ways or
not. Remember, GOD had just Delivered
the Israelites out of captivity and carried them into the Wilderness. One of the first things HE taught them was to
observe HIS Holy Seventh Day Sabbath and to “REST” and be “REFRESHED” on this
day. GOD used HIS “Sign” of the Seventh
Day to prove whether HIS People,
“If thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the
LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in
this book of the law, and if thou turn unto the LORD thy God with all
thine heart, and with all thy soul. For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not
hidden from thee, neither is it far off. It is not in
heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it
unto us, that we may hear it, and do it? Neither is it beyond the
sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it
unto us, that we may hear it, and do it? But the word is very
nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.” Deuteronomy 30:10 - 14
We need to know the past, our
beginning, and how and why we are GOD’s Covenant People. If
any one of us created an invention, we’d want the credit for it. I recently wrote a book, and I would want no
one taking the rights to it. My book is
one of a kind. It magnifies the CREATOR
GOD and HIS Walks of Righteousness. I
want the Most High to know and remember me for my efforts to show forth HIS
Praise, and I want to be written in HIS Book of Life. I don’t know of anyone who would dedicate
his/her life to a project and allow someone else to receive the accolades for
which he/she is due.
Well, Our GOD of
The man HE formed deluded
himself into believing himself to be just as knowledgeable, as the CREATOR
GOD. Sound familiar? Yes, it all takes you back to the Garden of
Eden to the “Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil,” right? This man followed the evil imaginations of
his heart and even made his own gods to the tune of hundreds of idols, copied
from people, bugs, and animals, heavenly bodies, and you name it! Man went wild and allowed his brain to
manifest his destruction and demise for millennia. Rather than worship the True and Living GOD,
he chose to die for his wickedness, and the CREATOR obliged. And man has been dying every since.
After the Flood of Noah’s day, the CREATOR stayed true to HIS Divine
Plan to establish for HIMSELF an Earth exemplifying HIS Book of the Law, HIS
Ways of Righteousness, and the people HE Created to live in Peace and Happiness
PRAISING HIM for all HIS Goodness, Power, Majesty, and Praise. All

will also wake up and use the brain HE gave them to accept HIS Truth and wisdom

were not true to HIM.

We are faced with observing another Passover, and unfortunately, we are still
either yet in our enemies’ lands or in GOD’s Land and under Gentile
control. If it is not in our hearts to

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
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
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
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
The Israelis have a rabid
requirement to control all the
“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

Now, the Truth is
out. This is the reason for the decades
of turmoil, death, and destruction over GOD’s
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
“And it shall come to pass
in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped of the house

Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.”

“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

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.”

will undo all that afflict thee: and I will save her that halteth, and gather

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

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
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
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
“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
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
I find nothing in GOD’s WORD to support an existence of
HIS Kingdom in
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
“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

night.” Psalm 1:1,2

“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
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
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
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
“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
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 “
“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
“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
“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
“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
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
“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
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
“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
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
“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,
“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,
“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
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
“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,
“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
“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!

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
“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
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
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
“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
“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
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
“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
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
Without a doubt, King
David and ALL
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
“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
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
“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
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
“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
“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
“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
“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
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

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

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!

Servant of the Most High GOD of

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
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
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,

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.

smitten down before the enemy, because they have sinned against thee, and shall

EXPOUNDING ON WHEN THE CREATOR’s 24-HOUR DAY BEGINS:
I happen to be talking with my husband regarding
when each new day begins. And his input
was much like that of Brother Kweli’s.
In essence, he said:
In
The BEGINNING there was
only “Darkness.” Therefore, because “Darkness” preceded “Light,”
it stands to reason why the “darkness,”
which was initially first, begins the new day and not the “morning.”
“In
the beginning…darkness was upon the face of the deep… And God said, Let there be light: and
there was light.” Genesis 1:1 - 3
In my opinion, adding to this belief is the
CREATOR’s pronouncement of the use of “Darkness,” or rather evening, when ending and beginning each new day:
“…And
the evening and the morning were the second day.
“…And the evening and the
morning were the third day.
“…And the evening and the
morning were the fourth day.
“…And the evening and the
morning were the fifth day.
“…And the evening and the
morning were the sixth day.” Genesis1:8 - 31
Brother Kweli made a strong point regarding
this most important matter, for if we cannot recognize when to begin our
24-hour day, how then can we observe GOD’s Holy Seventh Day Sabbaths to rest
and be refreshed, and how then are we to observe HIS Holy Feast Days, as we are
Commanded? Hence, it behooves us to read
GOD’s WORD and take note of all the Scriptures as to when our
forefathers observed each new day. The
information is there, if we will only accept it. There are several specific passages that
cannot be ignored.
Genesis First Chapter is already suggested. Another passage is in Judges where Samson
tells the Philistines to solve his riddle “within
seven days.” And “on the Seventh Day before the sun
went down,” the Philistines told him the meaning of his riddle. Point being that the Philistines knew that
had they waited until AFTER sundown, then they would have been in the Eighth
Day and too late to receive the reward Samson had promised them (Judges 14th
Chapter).
Another one is in Nehemiah 13th
Chapter. Nehemiah is angered by people
profaning the Holy Seventh Day by selling their wares to the stiffnecked
Israelites who did not hesitate to buy them.
So, “when the gates of
I would be remiss if I did not also include
the fact that Scripture is clear on Passover and the Day of Atonement beginning
in the evening at sundown.
PASSOVER: “In the first month, on the fourteenth
day of the month at even, ye
shall eat unleavened bread, until the
one and twentieth day of the month at even.” Exodus 12:18
THE
DAY OF ATONEMENT: “It shall be unto you a sabbath of
rest, and ye shall afflict your souls: in the ninth day of the month at
even, from even unto even, shall
ye celebrate your sabbath.”
Leviticus23:32
The GOD of Israel is and always has been
consistent in teaching us HIS Commandments.
HE would not tell us to begin some Holy Days at sundown and to begin
others in the morning. There is nothing
intelligent about such a directive – only confusion.

QUESTIONS OF WHY
BUT NO ANSWERS
Man’s greatest faculty is his brain. This organ cannot be duplicated, as can prostheses,
i.e., artificial arms and legs, etc. Without fail our talented brain tells us when to eat,
when to go to the bathroom, when to fear, and when to do a host of other necessities,
but for some reason it does not ensure that we seek the POWER that made us,
that gave us existence on this Earth, and that in The BEGINNING gave us life.
Instead, it gives us the free will to make choices and to reason and to do as we please.
Why won’t Israelites want for themselves the ONLY GOD ever
to choose them for HIMSELF to be HIS “Peculiar” but very extraordinary People?
Why won’t we all revere, obey, and be in awe of the ONE GOD that made us?
After seeing all of GOD’s Great Miracles and Acts,
why would the Children of Israel forsake HIM, even altogether for false gods?
After witnessing HIS Wrath upon the disobedient and upon idolaters,
what made our forefathers continue to commit the worst of all sins and abominations
against HIM - the ONE
True and Living GOD of
that proved HIMSELF countless times to be their GOD and the ONLY GOD?
From reading about GOD’s Hand in The Flood,
and the total
destruction of HIS
why would Israelites of all people defy this CREATOR GOD for pursuit of ideals
that go against the Ways of this All-Mighty GOD
knowing the consequences of doing the things that HE hates?
Why, if we know that we are destined to fail for wandering from GOD’s Book of the Law,
do we still seek after the imaginations of our wayward hearts?
How can we know of promised and assured suffering and demise under our enemies and
still reject the CREATOR GOD of Israel, when only HE is in a position to help us?
After crying to the GOD of Israel for Deliverance and seeing HIS Merciful Kindness,
what makes us not turn to HIM with our whole heart and soul to do HIS Will?
Why do Israelites today still repeat the same sins of our forefathers,
even after learning that their transgressions
are the reasons for our savage troubles and tribulations?
Is it because, like our forefathers, we still do not fear Our GOD?
Is it because, we still are not believers?
We know that it was ONLY the GOD of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob/Israel that
SAVED the Children of Israel out of Egyptian bondage, but yet we continue to reject HIM.
WHY, WHY, WHY,
Why, transgress against the CREATOR when all HE asks are that we make HIM Our GOD
and be obedient to HIS Ways of Righteousness – a Walk of Life
that promises to keep us healthy and prosperous?
Knowing of HIS Wonderful Promises to provide HIS Peace and Happiness
to all who seek to follow HIM, why would people ignore this Omnipotent GOD of Israel
that accepts all peoples who turn to HIM to walk HIS Paths of Righteousness?
Do I really want to know the answers to all these questions?
Or would it be wiser just to want to know the True GOD
and to understand that which HE deems is necessary for us all to live and do?
TOO MANY QUESTIONS WITHOUT ANSWERS
Our GOD of Israel bring us out of darkness before it is too late!

REGRET FOR SLAVERY
A conference committee might negotiate the versions' differences.
By Michael Sluss and Mason Adams
(804)697-1585 mason.adams@roanoke.com (804)697-1584
The House voted 91-0 for House Joint Resolution 728, a
measure intended to promote racial reconciliation as
The House
resolution calls slavery "an immoral institution" that "ranks as
the most horrendous of all depredations of human rights and violations of our
founding ideals in our nation's history."
The resolution,
sponsored by Democrat Donald McEachin of Henrico County, expresses the General
Assembly's "profound regret for the Commonwealth's role in sanctioning the
immoral institution of human slavery, in the historic wrongs visited upon
native peoples, and in all other forms of discrimination and injustice that
have been rooted in racial and cultural bias and misunderstanding."
The Senate Rules Committee approved a resolution Friday
apologizing for
"There were
some in the Senate who thought use of the word 'atonement' was a means of
seeking reparations," Marsh said. "This bill is not about
reparations."
Marsh's resolution
now goes to the full Senate. A conference committee could end up negotiating
the differences -- such as "contrition" versus "profound
regret" -- between the House and Senate versions so that the resolutions
are identical.
The House resolution passed without debate, but was not
without controversy. When the original resolution called for an apology,
Hargrove voted for
the amended resolution on Friday. He also asked colleagues to support his own
resolution establishing an annual "Juneteenth" observance that
celebrates the end of slavery.
The resolution
would designate the third Saturday in June as Juneteenth Freedom Day in
Del. Onzlee Ware, D-Roanoke, signed on as the chief
co-sponsor of Hargrove's resolution. In a floor speech that drew applause from
both sides of the aisle, Ware asked all delegates to sign on the measure,
saying "people have to have confidence in us that we all stand for the
right thing."
"We can no
longer pretend that there is not sometimes racial tension throughout this
commonwealth," Ware said. "And the
only way we're going to ever address it is by being bipartisan and by being
united."
Ware complimented Hargrove for offering the resolution,
saying: "Certainly my colleague's intention here is to show how sincere he
is about a mistake.
"This can be a historical day," Ware said.
"It can send a strong signal to all people throughout this commonwealth
what we truly stand for."

Possible Jesus Tomb
Scholars, Clergy Criticize New Documentary on Possible Tomb of
Jesus Found in
A limestone ossurary found more
than 25 years ago in a 2,000 year-old tomb in
By KAREN MATTHEWS
NEW YORK Feb 27, 2007 (AP)— Filmmakers and researchers on Monday unveiled two ancient stone boxes they said may have once contained the remains of Jesus and Mary Magdalene, but several scholars derided the claims made in a new documentary as unfounded and contradictory to basic Christian beliefs.
"The Lost Tomb of Jesus," produced by Oscar-winning director James Cameron and scheduled to air March 4 on the Discovery Channel, argues that 10 small caskets, called ossuaries, discovered in 1980 in a Jerusalem suburb may have held the bones of Jesus and his family.
One of the caskets even bears the title, "Judah, son of Jesus," hinting that Jesus may have had a son, according to the film. The claim that Jesus even had an ossuary contradicts the Christian belief that he was resurrected and ascended to heaven.
A panel of scholars that joined the filmmakers Monday at the New York Public Library addressed that criticism and others.
James Tabor, a professor of religious studies at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, said that while literal interpreters of the Bible say Jesus' physical body rose from the dead, "one might affirm resurrection in a more spiritual way in which the husk of the body is left behind."
But Albert Mohler, president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, said Christianity "has always understood the physical resurrection of Christ to be at the very center of the faith."
Cameron, who won an Academy Award
for directing "Titanic," said he was excited to be associated with
the Jesus film, which was directed by
"We don't have any physical record of Jesus' existence," he said. "So what this film … shows is for the first time tangible, physical, archaeological and in some cases forensic evidence."
He said that to a layman's eye "it seemed pretty darn compelling."

But Jacobovici said DNA evidence can nonetheless be collected from the boxes. He said DNA analysis has so far proved that Jesus and Mariamene, the putative Mary Magdalene, were not siblings and therefore could have been husband and wife.

jesus ?
-was born on December 25th.
-was considered a great traveling teacher and master.
-had 12 companions or disciples.
-performed miracles.
-was buried in a tomb.
-after three days he rose again.
-his resurrection was celebrated every year.
-was called “the Good Shepherd.”
-was considered “the Way, the Truth and the Light, the Redeemer, the Savior,
the Messiah.”
-was identified with both the Lion and the Lamb.
-his sacred day was Sunday, “the Lord’s Day,”.
-he had his principal festival on what was later to become Easter, at which
time he was resurrected.
-his religion had a Eucharist or “Lord’s Supper.”
If you guessed Jesus Christ, well, YOU’D BE WRONG!! HE WAS…

- God was his father
- He was born in a cowshed.
- A human woman, a virgin, was his mother.
- His birth was prophesized by a star in the heavens.
- At a marriage ceremony, he performed the miracle of converting water into
wine.
- He was powerless to perform miracles in his hometown.
- His followers were born-again through baptism in water.
- He rode triumphantly into a city on a donkey. Tradition records that the
inhabitants waved palm leaves.
- He had 12 disciples.
- He was accused of licentious behavior.
- He was killed near the time of the Vernal Equinox, about MAR-21.
- He died “as a sacrifice for the sins of the world.”
- He was hung on a tree, stake, or cross.
- After death, he descended into hell.
- On the third day after his death, he returned to life.
- The cave where he was laid was visited by three of his female followers.
- He later ascended to heaven.
- His titles: God made flesh. Savior of the world Son of God.
- He is “God made man,” and equal to the Father.
- He will return in the last days.
- He will judge the human race at that time.
- Humans are separated from God by original sin. The godman’s sacrificial death
reunites the believer with God and atones for the original sin.
Did you guess Jesus Christ? Well, again you’d be WRONG!! HE WAS…
OSIRIS-DIONYSUS, an Egyptian God that existed thousands of years before Christ
allegedly came around

died. the only way he rose to heaven is if ‘aliens ‘ took him.

FOR THE SOUL…
BLESSED ARE THE UNDEFILED IN THE WAY
WHO WALK IN THE LAW OF THE LORD
“Blessed are the undefiled in the
way, who walk in the law of the LORD. Blessed
are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the
whole heart. They also do no iniquity: they walk in his
ways. Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts diligently. O
that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes! Then shall I not be
ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments.
I will praise thee with uprightness of
heart, when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments. I will keep thy statutes: O forsake
me not utterly.
Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his
way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word.
With my whole heart have I sought thee: O
let me not wander from thy commandments. Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against
thee. Blessed art thou, O LORD: teach me thy statutes. With
my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth. I have rejoiced
in the way of thy testimonies, as much as in all riches. I will
meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways. I will delight
myself in thy statutes: I will not
forget thy word.
Deal bountifully with thy servant, that
I may live, and keep thy word. Open
thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law. I am a stranger in the earth: hide not thy commandments from me.
My soul breaketh for the longing that it hath unto thy judgments at
all times.
Thou hast rebuked the proud that are
cursed, which do err from thy commandments. Remove from me reproach and contempt; for I have kept thy
testimonies. Princes also did sit
and speak against me: but thy servant did meditate in thy
statutes. Thy testimonies also are
my delight and my counsellors.
My soul cleaveth
unto the dust: quicken thou me according to thy word. I have declared my ways, and thou heardest
me: teach me thy statutes. Make
me to understand the way of thy precepts: so shall I talk of thy wondrous
works.
My soul melteth for heaviness: strengthen
thou me according unto thy word. Remove
from me the way of lying: and grant me thy law graciously. I have chosen the way of truth: thy judgments have I laid before me.
I have stuck unto thy testimonies: O LORD, put me not to shame. I will run the way of thy commandments,
when thou shalt enlarge my heart. Teach
me, O LORD, the way of thy statutes; and I shall keep it unto the end. Give me understanding, and I shall
keep thy law; yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart. Make me to go in the path of thy
commandments; for therein do I delight.
Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to covetousness.
Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; and
quicken thou me in thy way. Stablish
thy word unto thy servant, who is devoted to thy fear. Turn away my reproach which I fear:
for thy judgments are good. Behold,
I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy righteousness.”
Psalm One hundred nineteenth and one through fortieth verse
I WILL BRING AGAIN THE
CAPTIVITY OF MY PEOPLE
“The word that came to Jeremiah from the
LORD, saying, Thus speaketh the
LORD God of Israel, saying, Write thee all the words that I have spoken unto
thee in a book. For, lo, the
days come, saith the LORD, that I will bring again the captivity of my people
Israel and Judah, saith the LORD: and I will cause them to return to the land
that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it. And these are the words that the LORD spake concerning
For thus saith
the LORD; We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace. Ask
ye now, and see whether a man doth travail with child? wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in
travail, and all faces are turned into paleness? Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like
it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble; but he shall be saved out of
it.
For it shall come
to pass in that day, saith the LORD of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy bonds, and
strangers shall no more serve themselves of him: But they shall serve the LORD their God, and David their king,
whom I will raise up unto them.
Therefore fear thou not, O my servant Jacob,
saith the LORD; neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save thee from
afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return,
and shall be in rest, and be quiet, and none shall make him afraid. For I am with thee, saith the
LORD, to save thee:
though I make a full end of all nations
whither I have scattered thee, yet will I not make a full end of thee: but I
will correct thee in measure, and will not leave thee altogether unpunished.
For thus saith
the LORD, Thy bruise is incurable, and thy wound is
grievous. There is none to
plead thy cause, that thou mayest be
bound up: thou hast no healing medicines. All thy lovers have forgotten thee; they seek thee not; for I
have wounded thee with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel
one, for the multitude of thine
iniquity; because thy sins were increased. 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.
Therefore all they that devour thee shall be
devoured; and all thine adversaries, every one of them, shall go into
captivity; and they that spoil thee shall be a spoil, and all that prey upon
thee will I give for a prey.
For I will restore health unto thee, and I
will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the LORD; because they called thee an Outcast, saying, This is
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.
And ye shall be my people, and I will be
your God. Behold, the whirlwind of the LORD goeth
forth with fury, a continuing whirlwind: it shall fall with pain upon the head
of the wicked. The fierce anger
of the LORD shall not return, until he have done it, and until he have
performed the intents of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it.” Jeremiah Thirtieth Chapter
I, EVEN, I, WILL BOTH
SEARCH MY SHEEP,
AND SEEK THEM OUT
“And the word of the LORD came unto me,
saying, Son of man, prophesy
against the shepherds of
And they were scattered, because there is
no shepherd: and they
became meat to all the beasts of the field, when they were scattered. My
sheep wandered through all the mountains, and upon every high hill: yea, my
flock was scattered upon all the face of the earth, and none did search or seek
after them.
Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of
the LORD; As I live,
saith the Lord GOD, surely because my flock became a prey, and my flock became
meat to every beast of the field, because there was no shepherd, neither
did my shepherds search for my flock, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed
not my flock; Therefore, O ye
shepherds, hear the word of the LORD; Thus
saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my flock at their hand,
and cause them to cease from feeding the flock; neither shall the shepherds
feed themselves any more; for I will
deliver my flock from their mouth, that they may not be meat for them.
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
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.
And as for you, O my flock, thus
saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I judge between cattle and cattle, between the rams
and the he goats. Seemeth it a small thing unto you to have eaten up the good pasture, but ye must tread down with your feet the
residue of your pastures? and to have drunk of the deep waters, but ye must
foul the residue with your feet? And as for my flock, they eat that which ye have trodden with
your feet; and they drink that which ye have fouled with your feet.
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD unto them;
Behold, I, even I, will judge between the fat cattle and between the
lean cattle. Because ye have thrust with side and with
shoulder, and pushed all the diseased with your horns, till ye have scattered
them abroad;
Therefore will I save my flock, and they
shall no more be a prey; and I will judge between cattle and cattle. 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. 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

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!

and use the “Font Size” that suits your purpose.)

must all males do before they can participate in the Passover Memorial that

For
how long are Israelites supposed to observe the Passover (and the Feast of
Unleavened Bread) Memorial?

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.

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 3
“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.
***
Everyone laughed at Will and Tonya and wondered what kind of school they had attended when they were in school. They wondered just how bad it really was for them.
“We’re very happy with all that our GOD has done to Bless us in starting our Community. And we probably take most pride in the fact that the foundation of everything we build and do here is with Our GOD and HIS LAW in mind, so that we do nothing against Our GOD of Israel. We have all the food we need on the farm, even enough to market. Each year we make improvements in education and governing with Righteous Judgment, and soon we hope to start our own cannery and exporting business. This is a wonderful life we have here and our families are happy. When there is a problem, we resolve it because we all work together for the betterment and contentment of our Community. The day that we cannot work together is the day our whole foundation and structure will start to fail. But, heaven on Earth? No, little Brother, not yet. However, we are working on that, too,” said Brother Nathan. “We are working on it, for sure.”
What do you mean by that?” asked Will.
“We are here in
“GOD talks to y’all?” asked Michael puzzled.
“No, we don’t have conversations,
as we are doing here, but HE puts thoughts and ideas in our hearts making us
know that HE is with us. Everything we
need to know to do is written in HIS Book of the Law and in other Scripture
written by GOD’s Prophets. That’s also
helpful for our understanding, as we ever seek to understand GOD’s
The teens had forgotten all about their tour of the Community and all ears were listening to Brother Nathan. And Shayne and Jason moved closer to the Brother so as to get a clear understanding of what he was saying.
“Well, we new here. And I don’t think any of us want to do anything wrong. So, how we gonna know what to do and what not to do,” asked Will with a worried expression on his face.
“Yeah, that’s a good question,” said Jason. “People on the street don’t always do things right. That’s why they on the streets. They got to survive, and that’s all they think about. But I ain’t on the streets now, and I want to do what’s right. And it look like we got all the food we can eat to be full. Sometimes, I ain’t never full, but I got full today,” said Jason smiling.
Seeing their sincere concern to
want to do what’s right and acceptable in the Community, Brother Micah said,
“Listen, we want you to enjoy yourselves here in
“I can do that,” said Jason. But, I always wondered about what’s in the Bible. Seemed like what was in it was different, real different from how we live now. But I still want to know this GOD.”
“If your GOD will bless me like HE blesses y’all and will take care of me, then for sure I’ll worship HIM and be happy, real happy. I’m tired of seeing poor people tryin’ to survive and half of ‘em dying tryin’,” said Shayne.
“Y’all slow. I made HIM my GOD when I first saw this place,” Will told the teens.
“I just need y’all to explain some things to me. For all my life I heard about a man being the saviour. If you can prove it’s the GOD of Israel who is the saviour and not a man, then I can worship HIM, too. I just need to know for sure,” said Tonya.
”You can be sure, that we will show you the WORD of GOD - not the word of man and certainly not the imaginations of our hearts. You deserve to know the GOD’s Truth,” Brother Micah told her.
“Okay, gang, we’re turning back
now, as it’s almost too dark to see anything.
But how would you like to check out the
“If this man is a saviour, how come he ain’t saved nobody?” said Will. “That should be some kind of a clue, if you ask me. If he ain’t came in all these years, he ain’t comin!”
‘Yeah, that’s why I got a problem believin’ in him. I ain’t stupid. That’s one thing the streets teaches you. You gotta be aware of everything going on, and you gotta check out stuff. You don’t jess believe everything people say,” said Michael
The teens were so wrapped up in their conversation that they had lost interest in the tour.
“Can we have the meeting tonight” asked Tonya. “We ain’t tired, right, y’all?” she turned asking them.
“If we can stay up til two and three in the morning, you know this is early, and too early to go to bed. So, no, we ain’t too tired, right y;all?” asked Will.
“Turning the mini van around, Brother Jonathan said, “You all don’t know Sister Jerushala. She will have a fit about you all being out too late, especially since all of you just arrived from that long flight.”
“Well, let’s head back to my house. With all the teens there, maybe she won’t make too many waves when she understands that they want to know about the GOD of Israel,” said Brother Micah.
“I’ll go back with you, “said Brother Yah-a-cov.
“I don’t have anything to do, so I’ll go with you, too,” said Brother Nathan.
“Count me in, too,” said Brother Aviel.
“Okay, this is good, and we have my wife and Sister Leah at the house to also sit with us,” said Brother Micah.
“I’ll meet with our guests tomorrow night,” said Brother Jonathan.
“And I’ll be there for that meeting, too,” added Brother Aviel.
“Great. And tomorrow we’ll determine who will meet with them the next night. Do you think you’ll be able to handle all this: school, homework, and meetings every night?” Brother Micah asked the teens.
“Ain’t too much I caint handle,” said Jason. “Besides, all this has me so excited that I won’t be able to sleep from thinkin’ ‘bout everything.”
Brother Micah smiled because he knew better, thinking that the fresh air would put Jason to sleep if the night season didn’t.
“Okay, why don’t we give it a try? And then we’ll stop when you start getting tired and resume tomorrow. How about that?” asked Brother Micah.
“I ain’t got no problem with that,” said Jason.
“Sounds good to me,” said Will with the others in agreement.
Brother Jonathan dropped off those who would not be returning to Brother Micah’s home and then took everyone else back to Brother Micah’s.
As they entered the house, sure enough, Sister Jerushala started in on the Brothers for not giving the teens some time to relax and unwind. “They need some time to reflect on all they’ve seen and heard from you all. All this is new to them. I know you all realize that. Besides they have to get ready for school tomorrow. And they probably want to just take a bath and be somewhere where it’s quiet. You know where they came from, and you know it’s anything but quiet there,” she went on without even taking a breath. “These kids are exhausted, and you know it.”
“We want to hear ‘bout yo’ GOD, Sister,” said Jason, the youngest of the bunch who had gone over to her taking her hand to get her attention. “And I don’t think I can sleep til I do.”
Sister Jerushala smiled and seemed to melt at the tenderness of Jason, as she gave him a warm hug.
Going over to Sister Jerushala to assure her that they weren’t as tired as she thought was Tonya, “We might be tired, but we can’t feel it right now. We agreed with the Brothers to stop, as soon as we do start feeling tired, Sister. Right now we just need to know once and for all about the True GOD. It shouldn’t take too long. Then, we’ll get to bed,” Tonya told her.
Sister Jerushala looked at the Brothers, and they hunched their shoulders letting her know that they really had no choice but to go along with the request of their guests.
“All right, awready. You win. Everybody, wash your hands and take a seat at the dining room table,” she said lovingly, thinking that well, if they wanted to know about the GOD of Israel, she was all for it. “Honey, you pass out the Bibles, please, and I’ll serve us all some juice and oatmeal cookies.”
“Well, that was easy enough,” whispered Micah to the Brothers, as Sister Jerushala went into the kitchen.
“Tell me about it,” said Gideon, their son who knows his Emah all too well for her long lectures.
“I heard that,” said Sister Leah giggling knowing it’s not easy to convince Sister Jerushala to do something if her mind was made up. And everyone laughed.
After they had washed their
hands, room was made for all the teens to sit at the dining table, each sitting
next to a Brother or a Sister to help with finding the written WORD of GOD and
with explanations if needed. Before they
began, Brother Micah offered prayers to the Holy ONE of
Dear GOD of our fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob/Israel, we gather
with our special guests to discuss you, your Laws of Righteousness, and your
WORD to your people and to the world, that we turn to you, fear you, and live
according to your ways of Righteousness for the good of the land, for
prosperity, and for peace and happiness.
Our charming guests seek to know about you, Father. Open their eyes, GOD of
“Selah,” said all the Brothers and Sister Leah, as well as the honored guests.
After Sister Jerushala set the cookies and juice on the table, Brother Micah set the stage for the discussion. “We’ll first show you in GOD’s WORD that HE alone is GOD and that there is none else. We’ll show you that we are of the SEED of the Biblical Israelites, the people you will be studying about in the ‘Old Testament.’ We’ll show you what GOD did to make a name for HIMSELF, which was by sparing the Children of Israel from death in the Passover and for Delivering them out of Egyptian bondage. We’ll show you about the Passover observance, and finally about circumcision. Brothers, I present these topics to you to choose the one you would prefer to discuss with our guests. Who wants to prove that GOD alone is GOD?”
“I’d like to discuss that one,” said Brother Yah-a-cov.
“The Scripture proving our true identity?” asked Brother Micah.
“I’ll take that one,” said Brother Nathan.
“How GOD made a name for HIMSELF?”
“I’ll take that one,” said Brother Aviel, “’cause I know good and well that you want to present the facts about Passover and circumcision,” he said smiling.
“You showin’ off, Brother Aviel? You readin’ my mind?” said Brother Micah, laughing out loud. “Good thing. Now, gang,” he said smiling, “listen carefully. Let me make it perfectly clear that at any time during the course of this discussion, that you have questions, then we want you to interrupt us immediately. Whenever there is something you don’t fully understand or whenever you want to see more Scripture on any given topic, please, please don not hesitate to say so. It makes no sense to continue if you do not understand what’s being said. So, don’t be shy, as this meeting is specifically for your enlightenment. And we don’t want you to misunderstand us or be misinformed about anything we discuss. Is that perfectly clear,” he asked them.
“Yes,” they all agreed.
“Okay, with that said, let’s get started. Brother Yah-a-cov?”
“Much of the confusion today
concerning the Bible is mostly because of the ‘New Testament.’ It is safe to say that if there were no ‘New
Testament’ then, issues about GOD would not be so confusing. But the ‘New Testament’ and the church are
realities that exist, and we have no choice but to determine and address their
authenticity and their worth, especially since a billion people believe in this
Christian religion. Actually, there was
no reason to write a ‘New Testament.’
GOD’s initial Ways of Righteousness should have sufficed. But mankind and even GOD’s
“What thing soever I command
you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.” Deuteronomy 12:32
“Ye shall not add unto the
word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD
your God which I command you.”
Deuteronomy 4:2
“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.” Deuteronomy 5:32
This is how we know that no matter how wonderful we might make something
sound, we cannot add to or take from GOD’s LAW, because altering HIS WORD is
breaking HIS Commandment.
“Now, let me show you that the CREATOR GOD of Israel is the ONLY
GOD. Let’s read:
“Thus saith the LORD the King
of
“What a shame. All those people going to church every Sunday
and believing all those lies!” said Will.
“Aw yes, but it gets better, my young Brothers and Sisters. Now, let’s read:
“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
“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
“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;” Isaiah
44:24
“Yet I am the LORD thy God from the
These are verses that the ‘New Testament’ just cannot dismiss. What I mean is that the church cannot prove
these passages to be false teachings, because they are the WORD of GOD.”
“Caint people read?” asked Michael, “Why don’t the people in the church
ask about these verses?”
“They’ve been taught and drilled that the ‘New Testament’ is the
acceptable way to worship. And they
ignorantly accept what their preachers tell them without question and without
asking their clergymen about the WORD of GOD that begs to differ with them,”
said Brother Yah-a-cov. “Over and over
again the ‘Old Testament’ teaches that we must not allow ourselves to be led
astray. We must always be circumspect
about our leaders. That is, we must be
extremely careful in what we choose to believe about GOD. Also, we have to read GOD’s WORD for
ourselves and not depend on others to teach us or pass on GOD’s Message because
their interpretations might not be what GOD intended. Now, it’s all right to have teachers, that
is, to have someone directing you with information, but always, always read for
yourself and know, too, that our best teacher of all is our GOD. And if we are sincere, HE leads and guides us
and shows us everything we need to know.”
“That’s what I don’t understand,” said Will. “I want your GOD to guide me, too. But how will I know HE is guiding me, and I’m
not believing; the wrong thing?”
“To tell you the absolute Truth, no one can tell you when the CREATOR is
leading and guiding you. This is
something you will learn on your own. My
advice to everyone seeking the CREATOR GOD is to do HIS LAW, as it is written
and only repeat what you know HE has said.
Then you know beyond a shadow of a doubt that you cannot go wrong. We here in
“A sure what?” asked Jason.
Laughing, Brother Yah-a-cov said, “That only means it’s sure to work, as
planned. And to be perfectly clear, if
we would just learn to follow only GOD’s WORD, we would need no teachers
because HE would be with us opening our eyes to HIS hidden Truths. Now, I want to show you another verse. Let’s read:
“Hear, O
And to highlight this Scripture, we have another very important passage:
“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.” Exodus 20:1,2
The thing that’s important for you to notice is that these verses do not
need any interpretation, none whatsoever.
They are as clear and plain, as can be and so also are mostly all of
GOD’s LAWS that are Commanded of us.
These are just a few of the passages proving that there is but ONE GOD. As you read, you will be amazed at what you
will find in GOD’s WORD and in HIS LAW that HE has given us to live and do in
Righteousness. GOD’s LAW is designed to
make us wise and Righteous – not to cause confusion. So, my suggestion to you is to read, read,
and read until you have a full understanding of what our GOD has left in
Scripture at the mouth of HIS Prophets for us.”
“But GOD’s Prophets lived a long time ago. They don’t live now. So, how can what they wrote way back then
help us now?” asked Shayne.
“Yes, they did live a long time ago.
But it’s the things they said that pertain to us, and that’s what we
living today must be aware of. You must
understand that there are many prophecies in Scripture that have not yet been
fulfilled.”
“Like what?” asked Tonya. “Oh, I believe you,” she quickly said, “but I
just want to see it for myself.”
“The Israelites have to return to their land, and the world has to
return to the ONE CREATOR GOD and Praise and Glory only HIM, the way it was
supposed to be in the BEGINNING. Here,
let’s read it:
“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
“Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends
of the earth: for I am God, and
there is none else. I have
sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee
shall bow, every tongue shall swear.”
Isaiah 45:22,23
“Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the
LORD, that they shall no more say, The LORD liveth, which brought up the
children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; But, The LORD liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of
the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I
had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land.” Jeremiah 23:7,8
See all this has yet to come to pass.
And so as to make no mistakes about what GOD we must serve and worship,
let’s continue:
“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
“For if ye shall diligently
keep all these commandments which I command you, to do them, to love the LORD
your God, to walk in all his ways, and to cleave unto him;” Deuteronomy 11:22
Here we learn that we must not only cleave, that is, take hold of the
GOD of Israel, but we must also keep all HIS Commandments, and there are way
more than just Ten. But you’ll learn
more about them in these meetings and in school. We pride ourselves on our efforts to live according
to what our GOD requires of us. Just one
more verse and then I’ll answer any questions you might have. Let’s read:
“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
“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
“You see, if Israelites were as devoted to following GOD’s LAW, as they
are to believing in the ‘New Testament’ and following its man-god, then GOD’s
Kingdom would be established on Earth already, and the wicked would be a thing
of the past.”
“I wish my momma knew about this,” said Shayne.
“It’s hard to believe that people just ignore all this stuff. And this is good stuff to know,” said Jason
excitedly.
“I see what I’ll be spending my time doing, more than anything else,”
said Tonya. “
“That’s for sure, my little Sister.
That’s for sure because our GOD is our life, and we have to learn to
know HIM, and right now, reading HIS WORD is our means of learning about HIM
and the Ways HE wants us to follow,” Brother Yah-a-cov told her. “And if we are sincere about seeking HIM, we
will find HIM!”
“Thank you, Brother Yah-a-cov.
You did good. Now, we’d like to
hear your questions,” said Brother Micah.
“I really don’t have any,” said Jason.
“Me neither. How can you question
what GOD said?” replied Michael.
“That’s right. You just do what
HE said or be dead. I didn’t mean to
rhyme that, y’all,” said Jason apologetically.
“It just came out like that,” he said realizing the seriousness of the
discussion but to the laughter of the Brothers and Sisters.
“No problem, little Brother, we understand,” said Brother Micah still
tickled. “Just don’t think that this is
the only time you can ask questions. We
are always ready to sit and discuss the Holy ONE of
“Now, Brother Nathan, let’s hear about how we know – not believe, but
know – that we are the descendants of the Children of Israel.”
“Thank you, Brother Micah, and with much pleasure I’ll do my best. First let me say that every Black person is
not an Israelite,” said Brother Nathan.
“I was wondering about that,” said Shayne. “That would be a whole lot of folks who don’t
know nothin’ ‘bout nothin’, ‘cause they just like us. We don’t know nothin’ either. This is terrible. Black folks, whether they Israelites or not
need to find out the Truth,” said Shyne, matter-of-factly.
“That’s for sure, my little Sister,” Brother Nathan told her.
“Many times when I was in the States and told people that I was an
Israelite and that the Biblical Israelites were Black, they thought my wisdom
to be ridiculous. But again, you can’t
argue with Scripture. Deuteronomy 28th
and Leviticus 26th Chapters thoroughly explain exactly what GOD said
would happen to the Israelites if they did not take heed to following HIS
LAW. Let’s read some of the verses, and
then you tell me what peoples went through this horrific experience. But before we read them, let me first say
that our GOD of Israel is a loving GOD to all who are obedient to HIS WORD,
whether Israelite or not. HE gave the
Israelites the
“And the LORD shall make thee the head, and
not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if
that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command
thee this day, to observe and to do them:
And thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command thee this
day, to the right hand, or tothe left, to go after other gods to
serve them.” Deuteronomy 28:13,14
Now, let’s read the verses that without question identify the Israelites
as being Black:
“The LORD shall cause thee to
be smitten before thine enemies: thou shalt go out one way against them, and
flee seven ways before them: and shalt be removed into all the kingdoms of the
earth.” Deuteronomy 28:25
“And thou shalt grope at
noonday, as the blind gropeth in darkness, and thou shalt not prosper in thy
ways: and thou shalt be only oppressed and spoiled evermore, and no man shall
save thee.” Deuteronomy 28:29
“Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given unto another people,
and thine eyes shall look, and fail with
longing for them all the day long: and there shall be no might in thine hand. The fruit of thy land,
and all thy labours, shall a nation which thou knowest not eat up; and thou
shalt be only oppressed and crushed alway:”
Deuteronomy 28:32,33
“And thou shalt become an
astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all nations whither the LORD shall
lead thee.” Deuteronomy 28:37
“He shall lend to thee, and
thou shalt not lend to him: he shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail.” Deuteronomy 28:44
“Moreover all these curses shall come upon
thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed; because
thou hearkenedst not unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his
commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee: And they shall be upon
thee for a sign and for a wonder, and upon thy seed for ever.” Deuteronomy 28:45,46
“Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies
which the LORD shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in
nakedness, and in want of all things:
and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee.
“The LORD shall bring a nation
against thee from far, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flieth; a nation whose tongue thou shalt
not understand;
“A
nation of fierce countenance, which shall not regard the person of the old, nor
shew favour to the young:” Deuteronomy
28:48 - 50
“And the LORD shall scatter
thee among all people, from the one end of the earth even unto the other; and
there thou shalt serve other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have
known, even wood and stone.
“And among these nations shalt
thou find no ease, neither shall the sole of thy foot have rest: but the LORD
shall give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and sorrow of
mind:” Deuteronomy 28:64,65
Another verse that provides much food for thought is Exodus 2:17 –
19. Let’s read it:
“And the shepherds came and drove them away:
but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock. And when
they came to Reuel their father, he said, How is it that ye are come so soon today? And they said, An
Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and also drew water enough for us, and watered the
flock.” Exodus 2:17 - 19
“Now, here, you have to know that the ancient Egyptians were Black.”
“I get it! I get it!” shouted
Michael. Y’all get it?” he asked the
other teens.
The others slowly read the verses for themselves, in an effort to see
whatever it was that had Michael so excited.
“I get it now!” said Will. “I get
it.”
“I see what you mean,” said Tonya smiling.
Jason read it again aloud hoping he’d see what they got out of the
verse.
“I get it, now!” said Shayne smiling.
“Yeah, oh yeah, I got it now!” said Jason. “Don’t never count me out. I told y’all I learn fast. I was just a little excited, thinking ‘about
them Black ‘gyptians, that’s all.”
“So, tell me, Jason. What’s so
interesting about this verse that makes it speak volumes?” Brother Nathan
challenged him.
“What? You don’t believe me?
Well, I am happy to tell you that somebody thought Moses was a
‘Gyptian. And since the ‘gyptians Black,
then Moses had to be Black, too,” he said proudly looking at Sister Jerushala
who nodded and blew him a kiss.
“Well, you are absolutely correct, Jason,” Brother Nathan told him. I didn’t think you all would catch that. This gang is simply full of good surprises.”
“This gang is simply the best!” said Sister Jerushala.
“That’s a good one, Brother. I’m
glad you showed us that,” said Will.
“The Scriptures about Slavery are good, but the one about Moses is
great! Nobody can argue with that one –
nobody! Now, I don’t have any doubt at
all that the Israelites are Black.”
“Yeah, the Truth is right there.
Moses was whatever color the ‘gyptians were. And everybody knows the ‘gyptians were
Black. If they don’t know that, shame on
them,” said Jason.
Smiling and pleased that the teens readily understood the Scripture he
presented, Brother Nathan asked, “Are there any questions?”
The teens looked around at each other, as if to ask “Who didn’t get
that?”
“Good, then moving right along.
It’s yours Brother Micah,” Brother Nathan told him.
“Thank you, Brother Nathan. That
was short and real, real sweet. I loved
it! Okay, now Brother Aviel, please
share what the CREATOR GOD did to make a Holy Name for HIMSELF.”
“I sure will. Aside from the fact
that the CREATOR GOD formed the Heavens and the Earth, mankind, and all things
therein, that most people tend to forget about and/or take for granted, I’ll go
straight to Abraham, the first father of the Hebrew Israelites. Abraham used to be called Abram, but GOD
changed his name to Abraham when HE made a Covenant with him and his SEED to be
their GOD forever. This was the second
effort GOD made, aside from Creation, to make a Name for HIMSELF. Not long after the CREATOR made a Covenant
with Abraham, HE informed Moses that HE is the GOD of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob
– all three of our Patriarchs. Let’s
read about this glorious Holy Name:
“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
“I want you to pay close attention to the fact that this is HIS Name forever and HIS Memorial unto all generations.
When the CREATOR made HIS Name to include the names of our forefathers,
HE gave HIS Name a whole new meaning that the world must recognize, as this is
the WORD of GOD. Now, let me show you
something else. Let’s read:
“And thou shalt say unto
Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD,
“That means I’m more important than that “New Testament” man, right?”
asked Jason.
“And that’s for sure, Jason,” said Brother Aviel, so pleased that Jason
had included himself among the Sons of Israel.
“And ye shall know that I am in the midst of
“Hear this word that the LORD hath spoken
against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up
from the land of Egypt, saying, You only have I known of all the families
of the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.” Amos 3:1,2
“For thou hast confirmed to
thyself thy people
“After the GOD of Abraham saved the Children of Israel out of
“And she said unto the men, I know that the
LORD hath given you the land, and that your terror is fallen upon us, and that
all the inhabitants of the land faint because of you. For we have heard how the
LORD dried up the water of the Red sea for you, when ye came out of Egypt; and
what ye did unto the two kings of the Amorites, that were on the other side Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom ye utterly
destroyed.” Joshua 2:9,10
“The next time GOD called attention to HIMSELF was when HE was
instrumental in helping the Children of Israel take the land HE promised to
give them, which was the
“I don’t know too much about the Bible, ‘cause I never studied it on my
own. I only know what I heard from the
preacher at church or what my Sunday school teacher taught us, which wasn’t
nothin’ like this. But I’m really
understanding all you’re saying,” said Tonya.
“And it makes a lot of sense, too.”
“I gotta say somethin’,” said Jason.
“It’s hard to believe that church people can be so willing to let
theyself be scammed when the Truth is all right here in GOD’s WORD. Right here in GOD’s WORD. This is unbelievable.”
“I know how Jason feels. We was
going to church giving the preacher our money, wasn’t much, but we gave it to
him, and he was preachin’ lies to us.
This needs to stop,” said Shayne.
“People need to open they own eyes and see for they self what GOD really
said. These lies gotta stop.”
“And it will, little Sister. Our
GOD will deal with sinners, and one day the whole world will bow to HIM and
live in Righteousness, the way HE intended it when HE Created the Earth for
mankind,” said Brother Aviel. Now are
there any questions?” he asked.
“How come the people in the ‘New Testament’ didn’t listen to GOD’s
Prophets?” asked Will. “How come they
didn’t show the people what y’all are showing us?”
“Two things, Will, you must remember that GOD had ceased to send HIS
Prophets long before the ‘New Testament’ was written. Unbeknownst to many Christians today, the
people who wrote the ‘New Testament’ were neither prophets nor Israelites. And these writers of the ‘New Testament’ had
no desire to teach the WORD of the True and Living GOD of Israel, anyway
because if they had, then the Christian religion would not have had a leg to
stand on. The GOD of Israel and HIS Book
of the Law detest everything the Christian religion stands for. By the way, according to GOD’s LAW, only
Israelites can be prophets. At the time
the ‘New Testament’ was written, the Israelites were well under the effects of
GOD’s curses upon them in their enemies’ lands, proving that the man-god, the
so-called ‘Son of God’ who said he was sent to the ‘Lost Sheep of the House of
Israel’ only lied. The Israelites were
not there. Let’s read it even out of
their own book:
“James, a servant of God and
of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad,
greeting.” James 1:1
“Had GOD really sent this so-called ‘Son of God,’ as HE had sent the
Prophet Moses to the Children of Israel, he would have accomplished GOD’s
desire, as did Moses. But that wasn’t at
all the case. Thus, the Israelites were
scattered, and GOD’s Prophets became a thing of the past. Let me show you the Scripture to prove
it. Let’s read about it:
“Her gates are sunk into the
ground; he hath destroyed and broken her bars: her king and her princes are among the Gentiles: the law is no more; her prophets also find no vision from the LORD.” Lamentations 2:9
“WOW! It’s true! GOD stopped sending ‘em,” said Jason.
“Yes, that is absolutely true.
And the only man to make a second coming is Elijah the Prophet. Let’s read that, too,” Brother Aviel told
them.
“Behold, I will send you
Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:” Malachi 4:5
“Man, you, on point! You on
point!” said Jason. “Y’all need to show
the world this stuff, and I’m fo’ real!”
“Our GOD is now working all over the world, calling attention to
HIMSELF, and manifesting situations causing people to realize that the things
that are happening can only be the work of GOD,” said Brother Aviel. “Now, are there any other comments or
questions on this topic?” he asked, to which there were none.
“Now, let us discuss Passover, said Brother Micah, “as this is one of
the greatest events in our history that we must never forget,” said Brother
Micah. “People forget that the CREATOR
GOD is ALL MIGHTY. HE can make things
happen and keep them from happening.
This is how HE keeps us safe and condemns those who would want to harm
us. And when Moses went to Pharaoh to
tell him to ‘Let My People Go,’ GOD hardened his heart, so he would not let the
people go, and HE did this for a reason.
GOD wanted to show HIS People and the Egyptians that HE was truly the
CREATOR GOD coming to Deliver HIS People out of
“What’s a ‘Remnant,’ asked Shayne.
“The word, ‘Remnant,’ means a fragment, a portion – not the whole amount
or group, but only a part of all Twelve Tribes will return to the GOD of
Israel,” Brother Micah told them. “Let’s
read this verse:
“For though thy people
“But why?” asked Tonya. “Why
won’t GOD bring them all back, if they want to come?”
“That’s just it, little Sister,” said Brother Micah, “not all of
“There’s that word, again,” said Jason.
“What that mean?”
“This is a topic that all Israelites, men, women, and children must know
and understand for if our males are not circumcised, then they are cut off from
the Nation of Israel. Let’s read it:
“This is
my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee;
Every man child among you shall be circumcised. And ye shall circumcise the
flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and
you. And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every
man child in your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with
money of any stranger, which is
not of thy seed. He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought
with thy money, must needs be circumcised: and my covenant shall be in your
flesh for an everlasting covenant. And the uncircumcised man child whose
flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from his
people; he hath broken my covenant.”
Genesis 17:10 - 14
“When male babies are born, they have an excess of skin at the head of
the penis. When this skin at the hill of
the foreskin is removed, then this is a process called circumcision. Thus, when GOD’s Covenant is fulfilled in the
flesh of all males, that is, when their foreskin is removed they have complied
with GOD’s Commandment that calls for the circumcision of all males.”
“Aw man! I know you kiddin’,
right? Aw man! We got to do that?” asked Michael. “Y’all hear that? We got to do that! Aw man!”
“Not me!” said Jason. “I’m
already cirum…, circum… , What I’m trying to say is that I already got
the Covenant. I am good to go, man. I ain’t got that problem, Whew!”
The Brothers were too tickled to speak but they managed to contain
themselves.
“Listen, Michael, circumcision is up to you. No one here will force you to have it
done. You can be sure of that,” Brother
Micah told him.
Michael was quiet and everyone could see that he was truly troubled by
the thought of being circumcised.
“Michael, man. I ain’t
circumcised either, but if that is what I got to do to get this GOD on my side,
then I’m gonna do what I got to do. Man,
I been livin’ in a bad life for too long.
Now’s my chance for a change, and um gonna take it,” Will told him.
“Is it gonna hurt?” whined Michael.
“Listen, I’ve talked to many Brothers who have had this procedure done,
and when it was all over, they told me that their fear was greater than the
pain. And of course you will be given
medication to decrease the pain,” said Brother Micah.
“Do I gotta do it right now?” he continued to whine.
“Well, like I said, you don’t have to get it done at all. But our Passover celebration is in a few
weeks, and the only way you can join in this memorable Holy Day is that you are
circumcised,” Brother Micah explained to him.
“Aw man! That means I gotta get
it done right away. How long it take to
heal?” asked Michael.
“If you care for your procedure properly, you could be healed in a
week’s time,” Brother Micah told him.
“Again, little Brother, it’s all up to you. We will not force you to make a
decision. But just know that we would
want you to observe Passover with us, so that you will not be left out.”
“How soon can I get it done?” asked Will.
“All we have to do is schedule you for an appointment, and it will no
doubt take place within a day or two.
Once Brothers make the decision to be circumcised, we try to get it
done, as soon as possible. There’s no
reason to prolong the time, as it only causes more stress. And besides, once the decision is made, if
the Brothers don’t get it done quickly, there is always the chance they might
change their minds, which is all right, too, but in all cases the Brothers want
it done as soon as possible just for that reason. In any case, if you are really serious, I’ll
call first thing in the morning and make an appointment for you. Will that be all right?” he asked Will.
“Yeah, I may as well get it over with,” said Will.
“And what about you, Michael, can I make an appointment for you, too?”
Brother Micah asked him.
“If you can handle the streets, seeing all its crime and drugs, you can
handle circumcision,” said Will. “Just
keep telling yourself that this is what GOD wants – our GOD, Brother. This is what HE wants. You can do it! Yeah, Brother, make an appointment for him,
too,” he said turning to Brother Micah.
“Are you all for it, Michael?” Brother Micah asked him.
“If I don’t I’ll be the only Brother in the Community who ain’t had it
done. So, yeah, you can include me,
too,” said Michael downheartedly and reluctantly.
“Michael, it is not that bad, really.
I went through it, and I know you can, too,” Brother Nathan told him.
Michael looked at Brother Nathan, but he said not a word.
“Okay, now I am putting my foot down.
I think these children have been through enough for one day. And if you don’t want to hear my mouth, then
I strongly suggest that you close this meeting with a prayer, and let everybody
go to bed. It’s midnight, my goodness,
and…
“Okay, Sister Jerushala,” said Micah to his wife. We got the message. I just have one announcement to make. I want all you teens to be ready at seven in
the morning to go to school to register and get enrolled for your classes. Now, Brother Nathan, would you please provide
us with closing prayers before we will have to weather a small storm in here.”
After laughing out loud at their dear Sister Jerushala, Brother Nathan
said closing prayers and everyone collected his/her newly adopted teenager and
went home.
***
Early the next morning, Brother Micah wasted no time making his rounds to personally pick up the teens for registration in their new school. And they could not have been more excited walking and some at time skipping to school like first graders and chatting about what classes they wanted to take. Only Michael was a little withdrawn, no doubt because of his possible impending circumcision that he so dreads. Brother Micah had asked Brother Nathan how he had faired the night, and he told him that he didn’t think the young Brother had slept at all, and that he should try to schedule him, as soon as possible before he changed his mind.
Upon entering the school, Michael was so captivated by the beauty of the school that he was soon back to normal. Brother Michael took them straight to the office where the school’s principal, Brother Rahm, and Vice Principal, Sister Carmella awaited them. The teens were nervous and slow to enter the office. Brother Micah had to coax them along more than once. And when the principal was told that Brother Micah had arrived with his new guests from the States, he came right out to meet them.
“Well, Shalom, Shalom, my new students,” he said excitedly. “Welcome to all of you. And Shalom to you, my Brother Micah.”
“Shalom to you, Brother Rahm. As you know, these are our wonderful guests from the States who are eager to register and enroll for school, as well as become members of our Community. Let me introduce the members of our precious gang to you.”
“Wait just a moment, please. Allow me to get Sister Carmella, our Vice Principal. Whenever matters concern young Sisters, it is our practice that she be present. Excuse me, please.”
In seconds Brother Rahm returned
with Sister Carmella and both their faces had smiles of gold enabling the teens
to relax. Sister Carmella greeted
Brother Micah and without waiting for introductions greeted the teens, “Well,
well, well, what a fabulous surprise to meet you for myself. I can’t tell you what a pleasure this will be
for our school and for
Without hesitation a smiling Will stepped forward.
“I’m Will Ammons,” he said, “and I’m very pleased to be here.”
Next, Jason came forward. “I’m Jason, Jason Henderson, and I love it here.”
Then both the two young Sisters stepped forward. “I’m Tonya Sharpe, and I love the beautiful houses here, and everybody has been real nice to us.”
“I’m Shayne Barnes, and I want to be like Sister Leah and Sister Jerushala. They real nice people. And…and…thank you for letting us in your school.”
“I’m Michael Thomas, and I want to live here forever.”
Pleased at what they were
hearing, Sister Carmella and Brother Rahm smiled, for these gang members had
captured their hearts. “Welcome,” she
said, “with all my heart I welcome you to
“I have no reason to think. From what I’ve heard, I know that our newcomers to THWK, The House of Wisdom and Knowledge, will do well and will be an asset to our student body. And without any further ado, let’s get our gang registered, tested, and enrolled in their classes.”
All the teens expressed their joy
realizing that they would really be going to school in
“Now, after registration, the procedure here with incoming students from abroad and from other schools involves assessment and placement into the appropriate grade levels, i.e., placement in classes where students will be expected to achieve and not be overwhelmed with stress. Therefore, you will be given math, reading, and Language Arts exams that will be beneficial to us for your placement. This process won’t take too long,” he said looking at his watch, “and afterwards it will probably be time for lunch. Of the two lunch periods we have at our school, you will be in the first-period lunch, which lasts for forty minutes. I’m sure you will all love the buffet we serve from sandwiches and salads to soup and two different dinner platters. I think you will enjoy whichever meal you decide upon. And you might be happy to learn that all our vegetables and fruits are produced right here on our Community Farm, and we bake all our breads,” said Brother Rahm proudly. Yes, indeed, we are truly blessed.”
Even though the teens had eaten breakfast, the talk of food had their undivided attention.
“Now, if you will all come with Sister Carmella and me, we’ll get started processing everyone to be official students of THWK,” said Brother Rahm leading everyone into the school’s testing lab.
“The House of Wisdom and Knowledge,” said Jason in a stage whisper brought smiles to Brother Rahm and Sister Carmella.
“Oh, Brother Micah, we won’t be needing you right now. I believe my students here have everything under control. But if you’d like to stay, then by all means be my guest,” Brother Rahm told him.
“Looking at the teens, attempting to read their expressions and body language, he saw only eagerness and excitement to comply with Brother Rahm. “Well, I guess I can find something to do.” Handing the principal a manila folder he told him, “All their vital statistics are in here, and it wasn’t easy getting them, so I trust you’ll take good care of them.”
“No need to worry, Brother Micah. We’ll make copies and get them right back to you,” said Sister Carmella.
“Oh yeah, I almost forgot. I must come back at noon to collect Michael and Will. We have an appointment with Dr. Noah. Brother Rahm knew straightaway why the two boys would be visiting Dr. Noah, and therefore, nothing more needed to be said. “And I regret that my boys will have to miss a few days, but I’ll be sure to get their homework to them,” said Brother Micah.”
“If you will do that for me, I would be most appreciative. Once these students get the ball to rolling, I don’t want anything to stand in their way,” said Brother Rahm. “So, getting their schoolwork to them is very important, especially since they are starting school in the middle of the year.
“I don’t think you’ll have anything to worry about, Brother Rahm. I’ll be back at noon, and we shouldn’t be gone too long. Dr. Noah will just do a consult today. Okay, Shalom for now.”
The new students were registered, tested, and enrolled in their classes. Afterwards, Brother Rahm told them they would be given a tour of the school, of which they could not have been more delighted to hear. Brother Rahm had arranged for two senior students, Adam and Reevkah to provide the teens with the tour, knowing that if students in their age range would take them around the school and the grounds that they would feel more at ease about asking questions. And ask questions, they did. But no one asked more questions than Jason. After the tour, the principal had directed the seniors to take the teens to lunch.
As they stood in the lunch line, Jason told Adam, “Man, I ain’t got no money to pay for the food. The Brother forgot to give me lunch money. Will, Michael, y’all got yo’ lunch money?” Jason asked them.
“You mean we suppose to pay?” Will asked Adam.
Adam thought he’d have some fun. “You mean you didn’t bring your lunch money?” he asked worriedly.
“Naw, man. They didn’t tell us we needed any,” said Jason, upset that he wouldn’t be able to eat.
Reevkah touched Shayne and Tonya and whispered, “He’s teasing them,” to the young Sisters’ delight.
“Well, what we gonna tell ‘em, man?” asked Jason.
“They do not like it when students don’t come with their lunch money; I’ll tell you that!” Adam said trying hard to keep a straight face. “I’ll never forget the time I forgot my money. All they’d let me have were some crackers and a dry piece of cheese. And then one Sister embarrassed me with a lecture in front of all my friends. Sometimes, they can be so mean. So, this is what we’ll do. When you get to the buffet, just put what you want on your tray. I’ll be the one to pay for my lunch, and you all just walk away. Maybe nobody will notice. So stay behind me, but not too close,” Adam cautioned Jason.
But Jason wasn’t feeling good about what Adam was telling him to do and when Adam’s back was turned, he walked from the line to speak to the Sister who was stationed on the far end of the buffet. Walking over to her he wasn’t quite sure of what to say. “Uh…Sister…I’m new here, and I forgot my lunch money,” he told her. “I wasn’t thinkin’ before I left the house, and I’m sorry.”
The Sister, surprised, looked at him and smiled. Yes, that’s true. You are definitely new here, all right. What’s your name, son?” she asked Jason.
“Jason Henderson. I don’t mean to start no trouble on my first day here at school. I just want to tell you I’ll bring the money tomorrow, so I can eat more than just some crackers and cheese. My friends who came with me don’t have any money either, and I know they want to eat, too,” he told her.
“Hmmm…I see. Who’s here with you?” she asked Jason.
“It’s five of us from the States and Adam and Reeba, I think is her name. They showin’ us around,” said Jason.
“Would that be our very own Adam and Reevkah, the seniors?” she asked smiling.
“Yeah, how’d you know?” Jason asked her, surprised.
“Everyone knows Adam, sweetheart. Where is he?” she asked. “That little stinker!”
Jason strained to find his group in line. “There they are about to get their food. What they laughin’ at?” he asked.
“Honey, Adam just got one over on you. Lunch at THWK if free. Now, you go tell Adam the next time I need weeds pulled around my house that I’m coming lookin’ for him.
“Yeah, he got me, chuckled Jason. “He got me good.”
“Son, second thought, let’s go get your tray, so you can serve yourself whatever you’d like. Adam is just having fun.” And she walked over to the line with Jason.
“Adam?!”
“Yes, Sister?” he said with a grin.
“I told Jason that the next time I need weeds pulled, I will be looking for you to pull them,” she said laughing.
“Aw, Sister. I was just making them relax. They are all uptight and scared they’re going to do something wrong. So, I’m showing them that over here we don’t have to always be so serious about everything. That’s all.”
“I understand, Adam. You wouldn’t be Adam if you didn’t show them
how not to be so serious about everything,” she said laughing. Anyway, I think we’ve got some wonderful
students here,” she said smiling. “And
forgive my manners. Welcome to
The teens were happy to meet Sister Naomi, as they thought her to be just as kind as all the other Sisters they had met in the short while they had been in the Community. They all shared their names, and Tonya thanked her for being so kind.
“I’m Adam,” said the senior laughing, and Sister Naomi reached over and pinched his cheek.
“Again, Welcome to
The students ate their lunch,
chatted about how different
At noon, just as Brother Micah had said, he was walking into the office to collect Will and Michael. The principal had told his assistant to let him know, as soon as Brother Micah had arrived. And when she did, Brother Rahm came straight out smiling and told him that he had wonderful news to share with him. But first he handed him the manila folder with all the students’ personal information.
“Great,” said Brother Micah. “I am all ears.”
“These kids might come from the streets, but their test scores show no indication of it,” said Brother Rahm.
“They kept letting me know that they were not stupid,” said Brother Micah sheepishly.
“Well, believe me, they
aren’t. I am very impressed with their
scores. All their exams indicate a
strong potential to do well in all areas in which we tested them, especially
reading and math. Their Language Arts
grammar section was not bad at all, but was not as good as their reading and
math. My assessment of their performance
is that they will have no problems with their studies here at THWK. I just feel that all they need is
encouragement and for all of us to build up their self-esteem. Then, I believe these children will do as
well as the other students here in
“Well, from what I’ve heard and seen, building up their self-esteem is already in motion. These are wonderful kids, and now, they have become my babies. And I am not going to let them fail. I brought them here, and it was not for naught,” said Brother Micah.
In walk the students, and Brother Rahm dismisses Adam and Reevkah with thanks for taking care of their newcomers.
“Thank you so much, Brother Rahm, for this very good news. But now, I really must take Michael and Will to their appointment. I apologize for having to take them so soon after their enrollment, but there are things we must take care of.”
“I understand, Brother Micah,” Brother Rahm told him.
“Michael, you and Will please come with me. Shalom for now, Brother Rahm.”
“Shalom, my Brother.”
“Shalom,” said Will liking the idea of being a real part of THWK and the Community.
When Michael heard Will, he looked at him smiling, and he, too, said, “Shalom, Shalom,” smiling from ear to ear.
Brother Micah heard both Will and Michael and thought to himself, “My gang is going to do just fine.”
Dr. Noah talked with both of the young Brothers together, as he knew the circumstances concerning Michael’s fear of the procedure. He examined them and explained to each one exactly what he would do. He told them that after the procedure, they would be sore and would have to miss school for two to three days, and then they would start to heal quickly. Dr. Noah explained that they would have to keep the wound clean and lubricated, so it wouldn’t become dry. He also told them that he would perform the circumcision on Friday morning, for an almost two-day head start on the healing process in order that they don’t spend too much time away from their classes.
After talking with the doctor, Michael didn’t seem as nervous and never said anything about changing his mind. And for Brother Micah that was wonderful, but he was still nervous, as he wanted it all over with for them, especially for Michael, and as soon as possible.
After the two consultations, Brother Micah rushed Will and Michael back to school and without a word about the scheduled Friday appointments for their circumcision. They discussed the school, the classes they’d take, and the new friends they had made.
Brother Micah said, “Now, isn’t that something?” under his breath, but Will and Michael still heard him.
“Somethin’ about what, Brother?” asked Will.
“Oh nothing,” he said smiling. Brother Micah had noticed that their street talk had slightly improved. “Their English teacher should appreciate that. Now, she won’t have to work so hard after all,” he thought to himself.
“Sooooo, who was the most exciting student you met today?” he asked them.
Without hesitation, both said, “Adam.”
“He’s a riot,” said Will.
“Yeah, he’s real cool. I like him, a lot,” said Michael.
“I know Adam. He’s a real good kid. Everybody speaks well of him. There’s never a dull moment when he’s around,” said Brother Micah.
“Yeah, tell us about it,” they both said at the same time laughing out loud.
“We found that out,” said Will still laughing.
On the way back to the school, Brother Micah’s thoughts returned to Friday morning again wishing that day would come and go and that his boys would be healed really soon.
“Okay, gang, you think you can find the principal’s office?” he asked them when he pulled up in front of the school.
They both smiled knowing that they could. “Of course,” was what they both said eager to get back into school.
“Do you think you can find where you live after school, or do you want me to come get you?” he asked.
When they looked at each other, he quickly said, “I’m kidding. I’ll be here at four waiting in the visitor’s parking lot over there,” said Brother Micah pointing in the direction to the left of the school. If you happen to see Gideon, please tell him to come with you. And don’t forget to tell the others. You’ll see them, as everyone exits the building from this main entrance,” he said. “Okay, Shalom, gang!”
“Shalom, Shalom,” they told him, as they headed for the entrance to THWK.
After school, Brother Micah was waiting in the parking lot for his gang. One after the other, they all exited the building, including Gideon and walked to the car. Brother Micah could not have been happier seeing the joy on their faces. When they boarded the minibus, they all greeted him Shalom, and then within seconds, they all started talking at once. For Brother Micah that was music to his ears.
Brother Micah reminded the teens that they had another meeting that night and to be sure to take a nap, if they wanted, and to do their homework before the meeting. Tonight we’ll discuss GOD’s Sabbath and HIS Holy Feast Days.
“So what’s so important about the Sabbath?” Jason asked Gideon who was sitting next to him.
“Man, that is my day of the week,” Gideon told him making sure to express every word he had said. Come Wednesday, my body automatically starts craving for the Sabbath. By Friday morning, it’s all my brain can think about. Starting Friday sundown, when the Sabbath begins, I can sleep as much as I want and as late as I want on Saturday, and nobody but nobody tells me anything to do on this day. And, man, that’s for twenty-four hours I get to keep GOD’s Holy Sabbath of complete rest. From Friday sundown until Saturday sundown all I do is eat and sleep and read if I want to but mostly eat and sleep. I can’t tell you how much I love this day. To me, the Sabbath is the life. It’s the day you thank the GOD of Israel for making it every time you think about it. We are so blessed to have it. My Emah says I’m just lazy, and I’d feel like that about every day of the week if I had the opportunity. She’s right, but that doesn’t mean I’m lazy,” retorted Gideon. “I just know how to enjoy my leisure and how to really appreciate GOD’s Sabbath. If HE said we no longer had to keep it, I’d keep it anyway.”
“This is something y’all do every Sabbath,” asked Jason.
“That’s right, my Brother. Every Saturday is the Sabbath, and I wouldn’t change that for all the money in the world. Of course, it’s a Holy Day, too. We can’t forget that, you know,” Gideon told him.
“Why is it called a Holy Day?” asked Jason.
“It’s the day the CREATOR rested after HE Created the Heavens, Earth, mankind, and all things in and out of this world. The Seventh Day Sabbath is the Anniversary of the day GOD rested, and HE made this day a Sign between HIM and us, the Children of Israel,” explained Gideon.
“Man, you don’t know the things people do on GOD’s Holy Sabbath – anything but rest. Believe me. A lot of people would be alive today if they had kept this day holy,” said Jason. “I’ve seen people shot, stabbed, hit by cars, and overdosed on drugs – all on the Sabbath and other days, too, but for sure on the Sabbath. The streets don’t know nothin’ about restin’ on GOD’s Sabbath. Friday night is party time and Saturday, if people are finished shoppin’, it’s clean the house and laundry time and get ready for party time again on Saturday night. Do you all go anywhere on the Sabbath?” Jason asked him.
“Of course not, because if we did, we wouldn’t be resting,” Gideon quickly shot back. “We all stay in our homes and rest. GOD’s Sabbath is for us to refresh ourselves. And after twenty-four hours of doing nothing, I assure you that I am well rested and refreshed.”
“You know what, Gideon?” asked Jason.
“What?” asked Gideon
This world is all messed up. That’s what!” said Jason. “I hope yo’ GOD does somethin’ real soon to change things.”
“I do, too, Jason. And you know what else?” Gideon asked him.
“What?”
“HE is your GOD, too, my Brother,” Gideon told him, “and don’t you forget it!”
Jason said nothing but allowed what Gideon had said to sink in, hoping with all his heart that Gideon’s GOD was indeed his GOD, too.
Brother Micah had heard his son’s explanation of GOD’s Sabbath, and aside from the fact that he is indeed lazy, he was pleased that he had a clear understanding of this Glorious Sabbath Day.
“Now,” thought Brother Micah, “I have to get Jerushala and Sister Leah to sit together with Shayne and Tonya for Girl-Talk. I guess that’s what we’ll schedule for tomorrow night,” he thought. After dropping all the teens off, and when he got to his house, he told Gideon to tell his mother that he would be back in about an hour. Then he continued on to do some necessary chores for the Community.
That night, the discussion on
GOD’s Holy Seventh Day Sabbath and HIS Holy Feast Days went very well, and the
teens were happy to learn that the GOD of Israel really had special days that
HE had designated for HIS People to observe.
And they were shocked that Christmas and Easter had nothing at all to do
with the CREATOR GOD or HIS Holy Days.
All the teens still wanted to talk about Passover, especially Michael
and Will, but not just because they knew they had to be circumcised before they
could keep it. They were especially
curious about the evening of Passover.
Michael had the idea that Israelites would be coming from all over the
world back to the homeland on the night of Passover. Will had said he would love to see Moses on
this night, because then he could ask him to do a miracle for people who are
living today, so they will believe in the GOD of Israel like before. Shayne envisioned seeing a great ball of
fire on this night. All Jason could
think about was eating Passover lamb and unleavened bread. And Tonya wished that all people would learn
about the Passover night because it’s about the power of the real GOD to
save. The teens also learned from
Genesis 1:14 how to determine the First Day of each Hebrew Month, by watching
for the
The Girl-talk that included Sisters Jerushala and Leah and Shayne and Tonya also went well. The Sisters explained what it mean to be unclean and told them about the number of days, seven, that Sisters with an issue of blood should be put apart. They let them know that during this time they could attend school but would have to sit in the designated area in each class for young Sisters who are unclean. Sister Leah told Shayne and Tonya that many Sisters would prefer that others with an issue would stay at home and not visit them. And they made it clear that at this time, Sisters with issues cannot participate in the Solemn Assemblies of GOD’s Holy Feast Days when the Community gathers for prayers and Thanksgiving to the GOD of Israel. After the young Sisters read the Scriptures on this topic, they felt confident that they would be following GOD’s WORD, and they understood why it is important to be separated during this time. They even preferred to be separated from others, as they didn’t always feel up to company on those days. Afterwards, they discussed sewing, as Shayne and Tonya were eager to wear some of the fashions of the young Sisters in school. And Sisters Jerushala and Leah promised they would start teaching them, as soon as possible.
After the heart-to-heart Girl-Talk, Brother Micah breathed a sigh of relief because then they had covered matters that needed to be discussed immediately. But no sooner had he started feeling good about the way things were going, he remembered Michael and Will’s scheduled circumcisions in the morning. “I can’t wait until the Sabbath comes in,” Brother Micah told his wife, as he lay down that night.
“If I didn’t know better, I’d say you’re starting to sound just like someone else I know, dear,” she told her husband.
“Aw, but for a different reason, I want to see the arrival of the Sabbath,” said Brother Micah sighing.
“Don’t worry, Micah. Everything will be all right. You’ll see,” Sister Jerushala told her husband.
Brother Micah was up before daybreak, getting ready for Michael and Will’s appointments with Dr. Noah. After he was all dressed, he sat at the kitchen table drinking a cup of herb tea trying to calm his nerves. His greatest fear was not the procedure itself, but that Michael would change his mind. Brother Micah then wondered what he would do if that happened, and then took another gulp of his tea.
At six-thirty Brother Micah called Brother Nathan to see if Michael had changed his mind.
“No, he is coming downstairs, right now, all dressed and waiting on you. He said he doesn’t want anything to eat,” Brother Nathan told him.
“Well, that’s good to know. I’ll be there right after I call Brother Jonathan,” Brother Micah told him and ended their conversation.
“Shalom, Brother. How is Will this morning?”
“He seems great. He just asked me if I thought you might have overslept. Are you on your way?” Brother Jonathan asked him.
“You bet! And I’ll be there in less than ten minutes. Shalom.”
Brother Micah, nervous as could be, couldn’t get out of the house fast enough. He dropped the keys to the car twice in an attempt to hurry straight over to Brother Nathan’s to pick up Michael. And to his surprise, upon his arrival, Michael was standing outside the house waiting for him.

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

Urgent Need for Yisraelite
Leaders and Teachers
Shalom,
Thank you for your inquiry. I am responding to you and
to all Yisraelite leaders and teachers.
There is indeed an urgent need for teachers and leadership
at area prisons. At this time, however, I do not have any inmates that I
am corresponding with at an
To provide some background, my name is Peninnah Baht
We have been publishing the newsletter for a little over a
year now and the one theme that is always expressed by the inmates is the need
for leadership.
The inmates who are reaching out to us are dedicated men,
who have by some unfortunate turn of events found themselves in the belly of
the beast.
I know from their correspondence that it is a hard life,
especially for adherent Yisraelites.
The brothers and sisters are striving against insurmountable
odds to keep the laws of Yah in captivity within captivity.
Struggles with dietary issues and the need for instruction
are major concerns. They need local advocates to assist them.
They need leadership to stay strong in
prison. Christian and Muslim organizations are strong in the
prisons. However, the Yisraelite population has no organizational
structure to influence and advocate for them. This is primarily because,
thank Yah, their numbers are very small.
Listed above is a contact person for each of the facilities
that we are in communication with. If your camp is located near one
of these prisons, please arrange a visit to teach a group. They would be
happy to receive instruction for one day, one week, or one hour a month.
Please respond if you can help.

Governor of

Honorable Edward Rendell,
Russell Shoats (z) is a 61-year-old man who has been in prison for over 33

that he is immediately transferred to one of the states Level Four Maximum

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 (
1-202-225-5101 (
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.
