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

ELECTION DAY 2006

ALL PRAISES BE TO THE MOST HIGH YIHOVAH, ELOHIM OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC, AND JACOB PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME FOR HE IS WORTHY TO BE PRAISED!!!

Let me begin by saying there is no difference between a Democrat, a Republican, an Independent, the Green Party, the Right-To-Lifers or any other “Johnny Come Lately” who want to throw their hat into an American political race. They all have the same agenda, and it has nothing to do with the Nation of Yisrael.

The upcoming elections will not change the lives of anyone to whom the candidates will refer to as constituents or Americans. Hell, the results have already been determined in some sleazy hotel room filled with congressmen and young boys. Yet as I write this piece the typical registered voter actually thinks that his/her vote will in fact determine the outcome of any local, state, or federal election on the ballot.

First of all, many states have already switched to electronic voting machines or plan to do so shortly. And this should raise a “red flag” for anyone vaguely familiar with the last two elections, which George W. Bush stole even with the “tried and true” manual voting booths of the past. Even without this newest voting method, all one need do to see that there has never been a truly fair election in America since the country was established is do a little research. In colonial times an entire segment of the populous wasn’t even allowed to vote.

Let’s face it; this “system” does not work, and everything that this hypocritical country was founded upon is a farce. Why delude yourself by participating in a charade that only provides pollsters a forum on the nightly newscast?

The U.S. Congress consists of approximately 435 members of the House of Representatives and 100 Senators. About 85 to 90% of these guys are of European decent. You do the math. Do you honestly expect to receive your hard earned tax dollars worth in representation from these people? Forget about the “Black Caucus,” as they don’t have any power. The most powerful Black congressman in the group, Representative John Conyers, can’t even get the House to bring his H.R. 40 Bill up for discussion on the topic of a study of Reparations for slavery on the House docket.

This is not apathy, folks. This is reality. How many times do we have to fall for the “okie doke” when these politicians, both black and white, find their way into the neighborhoods of blacks and get up in pulpits in churches asking for a vote that won’t even be counted. Now, it’s the Mexicans that they are trying to con by dangling “citizenship” via amnesty in their faces, while financing a fence along the U.S. Mexican border.

Just for the record, I have not voted in an election since Mayor David Dinkins was elected Mayor of New York City, and you see what that did for NYC – NOTHING!

I’m out!

For the kingdom [is] the LORD'S: and he [is] the governor among the nations.

Psalms 22:28

Halleluyah!! Halleluyah!! Halleluyah!!

ALL PRAISES BE TO THE MOST HIGH YIHOVAH, ELOHIM OF ABRAHAM, ISSAC, AND JACOB. PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME

FOR HE IS WORTHY TO BE PRAISED!!!

Halleluyah!! Halleluyah!! Halleluyah!!

However, truer words have never been spoken, President Yehudah: THE LORD IS THE GOVERNOR AMONG THE NATIONS, and without question, HE is our only help. T.Y., Editor]

Tribute to the New Moon Revised:

The service of this solar/lunar calendar of TORAH READINGS is by definition using the “LIGHTS” of the sun and moon, according to Genesis 1:14, to number the “days” of each month. And the dark phases of the moon cooperatively provide a break between the months. If there were no dark phases of the moon, we would have a tough time determining when one month ended and when another would begin. The Hebrew New Year is, thus, determined by the “LIGHTS” in the Heavens and not by the “sighting of barley.” Please see the “TORAH READINGS CALENDAR” for more information on how our Hebrew New Year is determined (www.thelawkeeper.org).

***

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

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

saith the LORD.”

START THE NEXT NEW MOON WATCH ON THE EVENINGS OF

<<<OCTOBER 22,23,24, 2006>>>

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

“He appointed the moon for seasons…”

Psalm 104:19

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

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

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

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

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

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

***

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

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

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

on our solemn feast day.

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

Psalm 81:1 - 4

(A Psalm of Asaph, the Seer –

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

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

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

Numbers 10:10

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I Kings 3:15

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

*******

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

“REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY,

TO KEEP IT HOLY”

Exodus 20:8

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

GOD’s Holy Seventh Day Sabbath of REST is not only one of HIS Greatest WORKS of all time, but this Holy Day is an extraordinary “SIGN” between this Most High GOD, the CREATOR and HIS Chosen People, the Children of Israel! This Seventh Day also marks the Anniversary of GOD ending the Creations of the Heavens, Earth, man, and all that is therein.

“Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.” Genesis 2:1 - 3

“And he said unto them, This is that which the LORD hath said, Tomorrow is the rest of the holy sabbath unto the LORD: bake that which ye will bake today, and seethe that ye will seethe; and that which remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning.

“See, for that the LORD hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.” Exodus 16:23,29

CONCERNING “HOLY CONVOCATION”

The issue stemming from the meaning of “Holy Convocation” written in Leviticus 23^rd Chapter is real, and the interpretation is grossly misunderstood. “Holy Convocation” does not mean “To Gather.” And the sin committed by traveling and gathering on the CREATOR’s Holy Sabbath of Complete REST has grave consequences (Exodus 31:12 - 18).

Conclusive evidence that “holy convocation” DOES NOT mean to assemble is provided in the passage on Passover. In Exodus 12:16 we are told that Passover is a “holy convocation” but yet, we are Commanded to observe this High Holy Day with our immediate families and only to join with another family if one’s members are too few for the lamb (Exodus 12:4). This proves without a doubt that “holy convocation” cannot mean to assemble, but rather to keep the holy days “HOLY.” Some call attention to the fact that because Israelites were Commanded to ”…turn in the morning and go into their tents” (Deuteronomy 16:5-7) that this is proof of an assembly. Those Israelite families that joined with others are the ones GOD Commanded to return to their tents.

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

The wise, obedient ones understand the great importance of observing this Seventh Day of Rest exactly as GOD Commanded and will not add to or diminish from this Law of the “Blessed,” “Sanctified,” and “Holy” Seventh Day Sabbath.

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

Psalm 20:7

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

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

Psalm 9:10

“… The LORD God of your fathers,

the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac,

and the God of Jacob…this is my name for ever,

and this is my memorial unto all generations.”

Exodus 3:15

“Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant

whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me,

and understand that

I am he:

before me there was no God formed,

neither shall there be after me.

and beside me there is no saviour.”

QUESTIONS ON “OLD TESTAMENT” BIBLE TRIVIA TO PONDER:

“Thine own wickedness shall correct thee, and thy backslidings shall reprove thee: know therefore and see that it is an evil thing and bitter, that thou hast forsaken the LORD thy God, and that my fear is not in thee, saith the Lord GOD of hosts.

“For of old time I have broken thy yoke, and burst thy bands; and thou saidst, I will not transgress; when upon every high hill and under every green tree thou wanderest, playing the harlot.” Jeremiah 2:19,20

What did Our Holy ONE of Israel mean when HE said that our own wickedness would correct us?

***

If as individuals we were told that the IRS owes us money, we would be expected to run to take what’s rightfully ours without being told.

If we were hungry, and Our GOD of Israel puts food before us, we would be expected to eat and Praise HIS Holy Name.

If we were living in DARKNESS, and Our GOD of Israel opens our eyes to HIS Truth, we would be expected to live according to HIS Ways.

If Our GOD of Israel informs us that we are descended from the Biblical Israelites, then we would be expected to assume our Hebrew culture.

If Our GOD of Israel shows us that once we return to HIS LAW we can return to our heritage, then we, being Israelites, would be expected to make efforts to return to the lands of our forefathers, right?

Considering what happened to Sodom and Gomorrah, if Our GOD of Israel leaves us HIS WORD at the mouth of HIS Prophets to “Flee” Babylon, then of a certainly we would be expected to do so, right?

Should anyone choose to respond to the above questions, it would be my pleasure to publish your answers in the next issue of The LawKeepers JOURNAL. T.Y., Editor

HINTS FOR HARDY, HEALTHY HEBREWS:

What the Heck is an E. coli ?

What’s going on, here?

Here we go again --- This "bug" simply refuses to disappear from the news. Every time you turn around anymore, there are warnings about hamburger meat (involving Hudson Foods and E. coli, or non-pasteurized apple juice and E. coli. So, I thought it might be useful to find out just what an "E. coli" is, and why all the warnings. Before we start with the problems, it'll help to discuss some background, first.

What does E.coli mean?

E. coli is the abbreviated name of the bacterium in the Family Enterobacteriaceae named Escherichia (Genus) coli (Species). Dave Graham in the Department of Microbiology, University of Illinois at Urbana/Champaign, recently pointed me to information gleaned from G.W. Tannock's book, Normal Microflora,1995, Chapman & Hall, which reveals that approximately 0.1% of the total bacteria within an adult's intestines (on a Western diet) is represented by E. coli. Although, in a newborn infant's intestines E. coli, along with lactobacilli and enterococci represent the most abundant bacterial flora.

In fact, it is for this reason that the organisms which happily inhabit the intestinal tract as normal flora are named enteric bacteria. The Family to which E. coli belongs (Enterobacteriaceae, is named what it is - because of the Greek word enterikos - which pertains to the intestine. The name Escherichia comes from the name of the person Escherich, who in 1885 first isolated and characterized this bacterium.

I thought E.coli bacteria were OK....

You are correct, for the most part. The presence of E. coli and other kinds of bacteria within our intestines is necessary for us to develop and operate properly, and for us to remain healthy - E. coli, along with other species of bacteria, provide us with many necessary vitamins for example. The bacteria make the vitamins, and we gladly absorb them. We pretty much depend upon E. coli in our intestines for our source of Vitamin K and B-complex vitamins.

The fetus of any animal is completely sterile. Immediately after birth however, the newborn acquires all kinds of different bacteria which live symbiotically (we help them to live, and they help us to live) with the newborn and throughout the individual's life. From the day we are born, we are _never_ without bacteria. However, the helpful bacteria like these are located "only" in regions of our body directly exposed to the environment, e.g., our intestines, upper and lower respiratory tract, etc... and never within our bloodstream or the tissues inside our body. Sounds weird, but, it's true - billions of these little critters chugging away, making things we need, helping to digest our food, etc., -- very important to us and most of them are exceedingly kind to us - except when they become teenagers and enter the throes of puberty (just kidding). Indeed, animals who are born and raised "germ free", are really wimpy.... they have thin intestinal walls, puny heart output, and require lots of vitamin supplements just to stay alive.

So, when are E.coli bacteria bad for us?

Truly, you have billions of "friends" that you never knew you had. So, "What's the big deal about E. coli?" you ask with a puzzled expression on your face. Well, now I need to talk about the "bad guys." Bacteria are somewhat like humans in that certain individual humans are not very nice - and we know that some individual humans can be downright dangerous. Of course _all_ humans belong to the Genus/Species Homo sapiens, and _all_ E. coli belong to, well, Escherichia coli. So, as there exist individual humans, so too can different individuals exist among E. coli bacteria - we call such individuals a different "strain" of bacteria within a given species. Some of these different strains of bacteria (there may be several within a given species) can be harmful to us. Each of us - given the assumption that a human is reading this information - is sort of a strain of the human species, sapiens. We are different because we are genetically different, e.g., unless we are one member of an identical twin pair, the combination of genes each of us possess is different from every other human on the face of the earth - or arm of the earth for that matter. If you think about it a little bit, there are only about 5-billion (is that about right?) humans who are alive on the earth - there are probably that many bacteria in your intestine alone - don't worry - they don't take up much room.... So, it is possible for us to acquire an individual strain of E. coli which mixes with the other E. coli in our intestines. Now, since an individual strain of E. coli may exist, this situation means that this particular strain of E. coli is genetically different than the vast majority of E. coli in our intestines; otherwise, it would not be a different strain of this organism. If this E. coli strain happens to have genetic information for producing something harmful to us, then, we may be in trouble.

OK; who "is" the bad guy?

The rare strain of E. coli that is getting a lot of "press" lately because it is indeed a bad bug, is E. coli O157:H7, a member of the EHEC - enterohemorrhagic E. coli group. Enterohemorrhagic means an intestinally-related (here we are at the Greek word enterikos again) organism which causes hemorrhaging - and therefore, loss of blood. The image shown below is a picture of an electron microscope visualization (an electron

micrograph) of O157:H7 (compliments of David Graham, University of Illinois at Urbana/Champaign).

How then do we "pick up" this organism?

Basically, here is the problem: E.coli bacteria are everywhere in the environment. But, since they are such a common occupant of all animals, anytime we eat something, drink something, or touch our hands to something that has been either a part of or has been near where animals are, there is always the potential to ingest these bacteria - is a good reason for washing your hands now and then, huh?

How did this strain of E. coli come to be?

Since bacterial cells are all over the place, it is possible for them to acquire genetic information from other sources (bacterial viruses, plasmids, or just naked pieces of DNA floating around and about) - bacteria are "pretty good" at this - this information has nothing to do with the original genetic information necessary for the survival of the bacterium - although in some cases, acquisition of this information may provide an advantage for survival. In the case of E.coli O157:H7, a long-ago cell appears to have been infected with a bacterial virus. This particular virus had the ability to insert its own DNA into the bacteria's chromosome without harming the bacterium - and to remain there. Now, every time this bacterial cell divided, the virus DNA, being now a part of the bacterial DNA, was passed on to every daughter cell - and now, we have the E.coli strain, O157:H7.... This virus's genetic information (genes) unfortunately (for us) contained information for the production of a toxin, called Shiga-like toxin (SLT), or is sometimes called, Vero toxin. Consequently, this strain of E.coli, and all of its progeny produce this toxin. The toxin is a protein which causes severe damage to intestinal epithelial cells (the cells that line the wall of the intestine). The damage is so severe that if we acquire this bacterial strain, not only do we lose water and salts, blood vessels are damaged, and bleeding occurs - lots of bleeding - hemorrhaging. This condition is particularly dangerous to small children - may be lethal - children are too small to tolerate much blood and fluid loss. It is for this reason that small children should not be allowed to become dehydrated, even in mild cases of diarrhea. Too, in some cases another syndrome is involved which is called hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), which is characterized by kidney failure and loss of red blood cells. Approximately 5% to 10% of little kids progress to this stage of disease - which is very dangerous for them. In severe cases, the disease can cause permanent kidney damage. The presence of this bacterium can also be very dangerous to the elderly or infirm. There can be a combination of HUS and some other things which involve the blood system, which can be lethal to the elderly in 50% of the cases. So, E.coli O157:H7 is a dangerous organism, for sure.

Recent News:

1. As of August, 1997, various "lots" of hamburger meat produced for shipment by Hudson Foods were found to be contaminated with a harmful strain of E. coli. The strain of E. coli involved is again O157:H7. The Hudson Foods plant in Nebraska responsible for the contaminated beef is now closed. Approximately 25 million pounds of beef are being recalled - all of the beef shipped from this plant. And, all beef presently at the plant is being destroyed. If you wish, please examine the following links to recent and previous information about outbreaks of this organism.

a. U S Food & Drug Administration Center for Food Safety & Applied Nutrition; and

b. U S Food & Drug Administration Center for Food Safety & Applied Nutrition.

Please also see: Update. The updated release provides information about additional recalls of Hudson frozen beef, issued by the USDA. These articles also each provide all presently-known information regarding the Lot numbers of the meat shipments involved. Consumers are cautioned to re-examine any frozen ground beef they may have stored in their freezer to see if any of the identified Lot Numbers are present.

Interestingly, the USDA as no authority to force an industry to recall food which threatens the safety of the population in the US. The government can only recommend that the meat be recalled. The Secretary of Agriculture states that he is planning to see that Congress again consider legislation to increase the authority of the USDA - the arm of the Federal Government which is responsible for the safety of food products in the nation.

Past News:

During and after November, 1996, I am sure that you heard about the outbreak of O157:H7 E. coli in Canada, the Northwest and West (US). The outbreak has been traced to ingestion of a popular brand of non-pasteurized apple juice (Odwalla, Inc.). I believe that one 16 month-old child has died in Colorado as a result of the illness caused by this bacterium, and a fairly large number of people were made severely ill (40) in British Columbia, California, Colorado, and Washington. This brand of apple juice is distributed to: Washington, California, Oregon, Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada, Texas, Idaho, and British Columbia. As of November 12, 1996, there is a call for legislation which will require that all apple juice be pasteurized - just as milk is required to be pasteurized. Louis Pasteur developed a process whereby milk is treated with heat (63C for 30 minute - older method) to kill harmful bacteria (will not kill spores), but nowadays milk and other pasteurized products produced in large quantities are often treated by a modification of the older method. This process, called flash pasteurization, involves exposure of milk and other liquid products to at least 72C (approx. 162F) for at least 15 seconds, with rapid cooling. Please see: Better Use a Pressure Cooker! for more information on the use of heat to kill harmful organisms. As of July 23, 1996, there had been about 8,000 cases of an EHEC strain affecting people in a city in Japan. According to an email contact from Mr. John Harrington in Osaka, who wrote: "The Ashahi Evening Newspaper (Wed., July 24 edition), [states that as of] Tuesday, 8444 people throughout Japan have developed O157-like symptoms. More than 6000 of them are in Sakai, a suburb of Osaka. The outbreak has now spread to 40 of 47 prefectures (the equivalent of US counties), and the number of victims seems to increase steadily at about 100 [per] day. Most recently, a 10 year old girl and a 85 year old woman died." From news reports it is my understanding that over 600 children have become infected, and almost 60 of them are in critical condition - with the uremic syndrome mentioned above. So far, the authorities cannot locate the source of the contamination - school lunches, they think. Unfortunately, when the outbreak among school children in Sakai initially occurred, the remaining lunches were destroyed - so - there are no samples from which to try to isolate the organism (locate the source of contamination). I do not know if this strain is O157:H7 - there are several different verotoxin-like expressing strains of E. coli, several of which have been identified in Japan... each numbered in a similar fashion. Hopefully, the Japanese health workers will be able to locate the source of the problem, and the children will be OK.

End News

What does all of this information have to do with hamburger meat, or other food products?

We'll talk about meat products first. Unless there is a cut in the meat, the meat below the surface is normally sterile (unless there is some intracellular organism present). However, whether or not some intracellular bug is around, the outside surfaces of all meat will have bacteria present - so - if some meat happens to be contaminated with the rare E.coli strain, O157:H7, it will be on the surface of the meat, and not down inside the fibers of the meat. However, as soon as the meat is cut with a knife or punctured with a fork, the knife blade or fork tine will carry the bacterial cells down into the cut or puncture - usually, such a situation is relatively safe because we cook the meat - certainly we cook the surface of the meat. Remember though, bacteria are _really_ small, so even a tiny, pretty much invisible cut in the meat could introduce bacteria down inside. In the case of E.coli O157:H7, the total number of bacteria required for infection appears to be about 10 - that's right, only 10 bacterial cells! Therefore, it is always safest to cook _all_ meat at least until the juices of the meat run absolutely clear - not pink - clear.

Now, if the meat is ground (we call it hamburger if it's ground beef) we have a much more risky situation because any bacterial cells originally only on the surface of the meat, will _now_ be distributed _throughout_ the preparation. It is _very_ important in this case to thoroughly cook the meat - until the juices run absolutely clear. Actually, the latest recommendation is that each hamburger pattie must reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees F. Apparently, viable (living) E. coli have been isolated from hamburger meat cooked to the point of "juices running clear". This procedure is very similar to that one would use to cook pork or perhaps a Thanksgiving turkey, e.g., observe the internal temperature of the meat before it is served.

Just remember, if you like your meat and especially hamburgers, "rare", you are taking a significant risk. It is also important to realize that meat may not be the only source of contamination with such bacteria or other dangerous bacteria - any contaminated water source or contaminated person can load these bacteria onto vegetables, etc. So, it is a good idea to be careful with everything - wash fresh fruit, vegetables, etc., thoroughly before eating. This last statement is very important, since as mentioned above, recent cases of O157:H7 infection have been found associated with non-pasteurized apple juice. This organism is apparently spreading around and about. So, it is important to be vigilant and aware.

What do I do if I or someone in my family gets sick after eating hamburger or something else - or for that matter, just gets sick?

No matter when, - if diarrhea occurs, always pay close attention to the symptoms... look for the presence of fever, vomiting, etc., particularly if the person is an infant, a small child, or an elderly or infirm adult. Look for any signs of blood in the stool. If you see anything that worries you, call your physician immediately - don't worry about the possibility of being mistaken and perhaps looking "silly." The organism is difficult to identify [recommended method is to use a genetic probe - associates with the toxin's(s) gene sequence(s)] - so - be as patient as possible - treatment will be given for the symptoms and treatment will be given to help rid the person of the infection.

How long does it take for any symptoms to appear?

Well, the answer to this question is a tough one. There are many things, which may influence the onset of symptoms for this particular disease. Symptoms may appear within hours or may appear only after several days. It is for this reason that if diarrhea occurs, one should examine the stool for blood, and pay attention to any other symptoms which may occur, particularly if the person affected is a young child, is elderly, or is infirm in any way. The following are some of the things which can influence the time it takes for symptoms to occur:

(1) The actual number of organisms ingested - the higher the number ingested, the sooner the possibility for symptoms (the relatively greater concentration of toxin made).
(2) The health status of the individual - the weaker or less healthy, the sooner the possibility for symptoms.

(3) The individual's natural resistance to either (a) the growth of the organism within the intestine, or (b) the effect of the toxin itself. Different people may respond differently.

Usually, the disease is self-resolving (means that the disease clears "on its own") within about 8 days or so. However, as stated above, if any blood appears in the stool, or if watery diarrhea appears in an infant or a small child, one should immediately contact one's physician and describe the symptoms as accurately as possible. Whether or not E. coli O157:H7 is involved, diarrhea for any reason in a little kid can potentially be dangerous - so - discuss the symptoms with your physician if you are the least bit concerned.

How can I reduce the risk of infection from E.coli O157:H7?

1. Always clean any surface that has come in contact with raw meat, before any other item is placed on that surface.
2. Always thoroughly wash your hands after handling raw meat, and before you handle any other utensils or other food items.
3. Never use the same plate, tray or utensils for the cooked meat that you use for the raw meat - unless you thoroughly wash the plate, tray or utensils in-between.
4. Always cook meat, _especially_ ground meat, until the juices run absolutely clear - pink _is not_ good enough. In fact, it is necessary for the internal temperature of a hamburger pattie to reach 160 degrees F to kill all of any contaminating E. coli.
5. In day-care centers, schools, etc., any small children with diarrhea should be carefully handled, and kept separate from all well children. All diapers, and any soiled clothing should be kept separate from all well children. The day-care worker, teacher, and health-care personnel should practice strict hygeine at all times, regardless of the health of the children.

The best advice is to of course be smart about all of this... realize that there is always a risk and simply take common-sense actions to minimize the risk.

REGARDING OTHER MATTERS OF HEALTH AND EXERCISE…

As always, before starting ANY exercise program and/or diet, check with your doctor and get his approval. This is all about being safe rather than sorry.

And if you feel you are suffering from depression, do know that there are medications available for you. Don’t be embarrassed; this malady goes with the RAT RACE. Therefore, see your doctor, and feel better fast!

Have you started that “Walking” for weight loss and healthy heart routine, yet? There is no excuse for not going it alone, joining with someone, or even forming a group to take that walk at least five (5) times a week and for 40 minutes minimum. So, stop procrastinating and get started. Walk to the tune of Scripture or your favorite upbeat music. And if you prefer the quiet, walk and meditate with the Most High. Just make sure that you make time for your body and soul. You’ll see and feel the difference after just two weeks.

THE 52-WEIGHT-LOSS DIET PLAN

Recently, I heard on the news that soon people will be spending a dollar out of every five for medical expenses. But if we are healthy, we don’t have to fall prey to this reckoning. As we grow older, we gain weight. I am a witness! And guess what? We do not need this extra load we are carrying. Therefore, I am doing something about it.

My friend and I have decided to embark upon a Weight-Loss Plan to lose 52 pounds in one year. We have started by promising to lose one pound a week. Thus, we hope to lose 52 pounds by the second week in February 2007. We have already started, but it’s not too late for YOU to join with us. So, hop on board and be a NEW HEALTHIER, LIGHTER WEIGHT this time next year!

Some of the things we plan to do are:

-limit our intake of “white” foods: rice, bread, potatoes, ice cream, sugar, etc.

-eliminate fast foods and processed foods

-walk at least 3 days a week

-do not eat after 8 P.M. – drink green tea with mint

-eat more fruits and veggies

-bake rather than fry our meats

-drink plenty of water and tea

-weigh in every Tuesday and E-mail the other party the new weight status

A weekly journal is kept of weight lost or gained. And there is no fair or fun cheating.

If you do not need to lose 52 pounds, then adjust the plan to the amount of pounds to lose and time frame appropriate for you. If you need any help, let me know.

The Brothers are welcomed to join in the program. By all means, do feel free to share your progress. List your name, the date you started and the weight you lose each week, or if you prefer to only post periodically, then list the date you started and the amount you lost. If you have any special ways to lose a fast pound here and there, by all means do share.

Let’s start having some fun. The more competition, the more encouraged we will ALL be to stick with this Weight-Loss-Diet Plan.

On my first week, I lost four pounds, and I could feel the difference on my walk as I climbed the hills. My husband and I both try to walk three days a week for forty-five minutes. We do about four miles each day.

Don’t forget to first check with your doctor! Better safe than sorry.

Now, get started and feel good and look even better!

THE GREATEST “SPOIL” OF ALL

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

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

THE WHITE MAN’S CHRISTIAN RELIGION?

“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.”

Deuteronomy 28:64

“And his breath, as an overflowing stream, shall reach to the midst of the neck,

to sift the nations with the sieve of vanity:

and there shall be a bridle in the jaws of the people, causing them to err.”

Isaiah 30:28

“Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together,

ye that are escaped of the nations:

they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven image,

and pray unto a god that cannot save.”

Isaiah 45:20

“I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them;

because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear:

but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not.”

Isaiah 66:4

“But where are thy gods that thou hast made thee? let them arise,

if they can save thee in the time of thy trouble:

for according to the number of thy cities are thy gods, O Judah.”

Jeremiah 2:28

October 1, 2006

It has not been enough to say that there is but ONE SUPREME BEING, that there is but ONE CREATOR, and that there is but ONE GOD for this entire Universe. Yet still, because the so-called “Son of God” is White and blue-eyed and the ruling powers are also of European persuasion, no manner of data and records would suffice even if presented with undeniable facts that cannot be refuted proving that the Most High GOD of Hosts is but ONE GOD and HIS Holy Name ONE, and that there is no such thing as a “Trinity.” People who call themselves Christians will die for what they believe and will only change when given good reason to do so. Unbeknownst to them, they have been greatly deceived and by the very All-Mighty CREATOR GOD that Created the Heavens and the Earth.

Nevertheless, where does one turn to prove GOD’s existence and the Truth of HIS WORD? Can we be confident that what THUS SAITH THE LORD can be found in the “New Testament”? Very good question, but if GOD’s Prophets did not write the “New Testament,” then how credible and reliable is the information in this Christian book that details views that are radically different from what’s actually written by those known to be GOD’s Prophets?

One can only turn to books that tout information about the CREATOR GOD and ones that publish HIS WORD in Truth – not what people believe, think, and are inspired to write. This “NT” information would be what is surmised and might not necessarily be based on Truth. Therefore, it is always wise, particularly in this respect, to get to the root, to the foundation, and to the actual WORD OF GOD, i.e., what THUS SAITH THE LORD.

If ONE GOD, as indicated in the First Chapter of the Book of Genesis, Created the Heavens and the Earth and all things therein, then this is the GOD that must be served and worshipped for HE did say that HE did it all and all by HIMSELF.

“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

This information is all we have, as no other “God” has come forward with any conflicting start for the CREATION of this Universe. Thus, we have no choice but to launch our investigation starting with the WORD of GOD found in the “Old Testament.” And given the wisdom and understanding this CREATOR GOD presents, there is no need for or reason to organize the worship of man-made religions, Christian or otherwise. We need only seek to understand what this CREATOR GOD requires of the man HE has formed. Without even going into the matter, my common sense tells me that quite naturally the CREATOR would want mankind that HE Created to worship HIM. But unfortunately, that is not at all the case, and since CREATION man has chosen to dismiss the ONE True CREATOR GOD and make one of his own, either by constructing an idol/image or by fabricating a story such as the early Christian fathers have done with the unfounded belief in a “Virgin Birth.”

I see people wearing Christian crosses of all sizes, some so big they hang like the images of Ancient Egypt about their necks. And the people who wear this Christian, religious symbol neglect to question or understand its origin and why it is that their “Son of God,” hanging on their necks, does not end the suffering of Third World countries, the malnutrition, and the disease that prevails throughout Africa. They don’t ask the real questions; they just wear this image magnifying a man-god who supposedly died for their sins and promises to suffer for them in order that they will not. These people just believe, never questioning the fact that millennia have passed and not one sighting or sign of this so-called “Son of God” has been made anywhere. Given the fact that across this Earth a billion people wear this cross and believe in it, why then isn’t there greater evidence of the existence of this Christian man-god? Could it be that since a billion people the world over have accepted this religion since the Roman Era that to them, this makes it legitimate? Of greater significance, what about the fact that the CREATOR GOD of Israel said HE would cause HIS Covenant People, Israel, to worship false gods for forsaking HIM; therefore, in order for HIM to make this curse come to fruition, it was necessary for the accursed Children of Israel to see the Rulers of this world believe in Christianity, as well.

“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.” Deuteronomy 28:64

A Christian friend of mine made reference to her daughter’s cross, she had recently decided to wear (for whatever reason), and pulling it from behind her pullover, she showed it to me. I don’t have to tell you how much I resented her putting it in my face, and I wondered if I should say something. After staying quiet for a few minutes, I decided to EXALT the CREATOR GOD and show her a point aside from don’t ever show that image to me again. I then proceeded carefully to present information that even a Christian could not contradict.

I had my friend to realize and agree that in THE BEGINNING, GOD Created everything perfectly and without flaw. The sun and moon work perfectly together and do exactly as HE Commanded them. HE Created water, fire, and the air we breathe, and they all serve their purpose admirably and in doing so give Glory to Our CREATOR. And told her, too, that GOD Created man and gave him two eyes, and limbs, and that all the parts of the human body are also made perfectly and beautifully. To all I had said, she agreed and added that GOD also made woman from man. I exclaimed that she was absolutely correct. Then I made reference to the fact that in THE BEGINNING the CREATOR GOD also Created a perfect way to live in Righteousness in order to have enjoyable peace and happiness on the Earth HE had formed for mankind. I explained to her that man has changed the CREATOR’s Ways of Righteousness for ways he prefers, and thus, the reason for all this Hell on Earth. I told her that GOD first destroyed rebellious man in The Flood, to which she made mention of Noah. Again, I told her she was correct. I went on to explain that the CREATOR GOD finally became fed up with man and obviously said that, “If you want to worship, as you choose, then do so, and see how far it gets you.” I told her this is exactly the reason for all the turmoil in this world today. People do not worship according to what the CREATOR requires but according to how they choose to believe. I told her that this is the reason I have no respect for the Christian cross, for indeed this religion is one of the many that came about AFTER the CREATOR GOD established HIS Paths of Righteousness. How she internalized what I had explained to her, I do not know. I can only hope that she will give what I said some serious thought.

Upon reading this editorial, some might ask if the teachings of Moses are not also a new Spirituality formed concurrently with pagan religions after CREATION. If so, then this would be an excellent inquiry.

Abel, Adam’s son, knew exactly what to do to please the CREATOR.

“And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering: But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell. And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen? If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.” Genesis 4:4 - 7

The question to also ask is, “How did Abel know that the CREATOR preferred sacrifice and sacrifice of the ‘firstlings of his flock and of the fat’”? Abel knew because the CREATOR had made it known to those HE had Created.

The Scripture states that Noah was a “Just man and perfect in his generations and Noah walked with GOD” (Genesis 6:9). In order for a person to be a “Just” individual in GOD’s Eyes, one must obviously be following the CREATOR’s Guidelines for perfection or rather that which is lawful and right. In other words, one does not become “Just” and walk with GOD without following GOD’s Ways of Righteousness, after all, perfection is a gift of GOD.

More evidence that the CREATOR GOD’s Ways of Righteousness according to HIS Ordinances existed before the birth of the Nation of Israel is the fact that Abraham was also aware of the CREATOR GOD’s Righteous Standards of living.

“And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.” Genesis 26:4,5

Why would the CREATOR GOD Create everything with much perfection and not provide the man HE formed with meaningful ordinances to live by? GOD told the sun and moon exactly what to do. HE gave Earth its directives, to rotate on its axis and orbit the sun. The animals GOD Created know to stay with their own kind – from insects to fowl to cattle to fish, they all are obedient to their CREATOR’s Commandment. Thus, mankind knew well about how they should live. Therefore, to think that this same CREATOR did not establish a Righteous Behavior of Life for the man HE Created is ludicrous. If the CREATOR informed Adam of how he should live in the Garden of Eden, then he certainly did leave other Ways of Righteousness for the man HE Created to follow. Why would the CREATOR punish man for HIS wickedness with such a deadly Flood if HE had not initially given him HIS Commandments to follow? At this time I must also call attention to the Children of Israel, GOD’s Covenant People. They indeed were cast into their enemies’ lands for disobedience to HIS LAW and for turning to false gods. Point being that the Merciful GOD of Israel does not punish for naught.

Given this revelation that mankind was indeed aware of GOD’s Ways of Righteousness in The BEGINNING, people, especially Christians will still embrace a “Son of God” believing that their religion is what GOD manifest in place of HIS Laws, Statutes, and Judgments that have existed ever since CREATION. On the contrary, nothing could be further from the Truth or more ridiculous, and those who believe in Christianity are proven to be ignorant of GOD’s WORD and HIS WORKS. The CREATOR’s WORKS manifest with HIS WORDS and HIS LAW in which nothing is said of a man-god and/or belief in him.

“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.

“Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.” Deuteronomy 8:3,6

Getting back to GOD’s Creations, for what reason would the CREATOR change the workings of the sun, moon, water, fire, air, and/or transform man into something else when all these Creations were made with perfection? And for what reason would the CREATOR disavow HIS LAW, for when HIS Ways are kept, they make a man “Just” and Righteous? You see, Christianity disregards GOD’s LAW and replaces it with “faith” in a man-god called JC.

“For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.” Roman 1:17

“But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith. And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them. Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:” Galatians 3:11 - 13

Albeit, NOTHING COULD BE FURTHER FROM THE GOD’s TRUTH! This is just one of the Christian ideals that arose at the time of the Roman Era in an effort to replace the CREATOR GOD’s Just and “Perfect” Way of Life.

“The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant.” Isaiah 24:5

The lesson to be learned and understood here is the fact that the CREATOR GOD will not change HIS “Perfect” LAW.

“For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the LORD of hosts. But ye said, Wherein shall we return?” Malachi 3:6,7

HE will cause HIS People (and eventually the world) to live HIS LAW in Truth just as was HIS Plan from the BEGINNING.

“And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before the LORD our God, as he hath commanded us.” Deuteronomy 6:25

“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 it shall be, if thou do at all forget the LORD thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish.” Deuteronomy 8:1,19

“Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest. This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.” Joshua 1:7,8

“Unto this day they do after the former manners: they fear not the LORD, neither do they after their statutes, or after their ordinances, or after the law and commandment which the LORD commanded the children of Jacob, whom he named Israel; With whom the LORD had made a covenant, and charged them, saying, Ye shall not fear other gods, nor bow yourselves to them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them: But the LORD, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great power and a stretched out arm, him shall ye fear, and him shall ye worship, and to him shall ye do sacrifice. And the statutes, and the ordinances, and the law, and the commandment, which he wrote for you, ye shall observe to do for evermore; and ye shall not fear other gods.” II Kings 17:34 – 37

“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.” Psalm 119:1,2

“Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is the truth.” Psalm 119:142

“The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness' sake; he will magnify the law, and make it honourable.” Isaiah 42:21

“Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the LORD thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go.” Isaiah 48:17

“Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings.” Isaiah 51:7

“Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD: But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.” Jeremiah 31:31 – 34

You see, there is even no reason whatsoever to believe in this so-called “Son of God” to save us from our iniquities, for the CREATOR GOD says HE will “forgive” us!!!

“For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.” Malachi 3:6

Hence, GOD’s Lawful and Right Spirituality is FOREVER for all who seek to live it in Righteousness, and no other religion will ever take its place. Thus, this makes the White Man’s Religion of no worth, just as it is proven to be.

Therefore, given the above Scripture, or rather THUS SAITH THE LORD, how can Christianity prove with any credibility that it is the Work of the CREATOR GOD when given a man-god to be prayed to and worshipped in place of the CREATOR? No one will deny that by definition, “Christianity” entails and requires belief in a “man,” one so-called JC that is supposed to be the “Saviour of the World” all because the tale reads that he supposedly died for the sins of those who believe in him. Sure!!! This is the White Man’s Religion, accepted and flawed though it may be, established at the time of the Roman Empire after the Israelites had been scattered from their land for their sins against the Holy ONE of Israel and at the time when the GOD of Israel had removed HIMSELF from HIS Holy Land and enabled pagan religions to thrive in it and all over the world.

Need I remind Christians and Messianics that any such false worship, though it thrives is not the Righteous Way of Life that the CREATOR GOD established in The BEGINNING. It should not come as any surprise that it is the CREATOR GOD that calls HIMSELF the only SAVIOR and never gave any hint or suggestion to believe in, serve, or worship this man-god called JC or any other god for that matter. Actually HE extensively cautioned the Israelites, HIS Chosen People, to take heed not to forget HIM and to have no other gods before HIM, making quite invalid this White Man’s Religion.

“(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 4:31

“And God spake all these words, saying, I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt have no other gods before me.” Exodus 20:1 – 3

“And it shall be, if thou do at all forget the LORD thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish. As the nations which the LORD destroyeth before your face, so shall ye perish; because ye would not be obedient unto the voice of the LORD your God.” Deuteronomy 8:19,20

Although Christians will admit to accepting the “Old Testament,” they reject the “Old Testament CREATOR GOD of Abraham for belief in and worship of JC. And sadly, few even know of the Salvation of the GOD of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and much less HIS 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

“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?

“Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God; him shalt thou serve, and to him shalt thou cleave, and swear by his name.” Deteronomy 10:12,13,20

After CREATION, GOD left no WORD that the people HE Created should serve anyone or anything but HIM, the CREATOR, and rightly advised. After The Flood when the CREATOR decided to choose a Special People for HIMSELF, HE also wanted all mankind to recognize HIM as being the ONE True and Living GOD. In Truth, all GOD’s WORKS were so that HE would make a name for HIMSELF in order that the peoples of the world would acknowledge HIM and not any other god.

“Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.” Deuteronomy 6:4 - 7

“And Joshua the son of Nun sent out of Shittim two men to spy secretly, saying, Go view the land, even Jericho. And they went, and came into an harlot's house, named Rahab, and lodged there.

^“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. And as soon as we had heard these things, our hearts did melt, neither did there remain any more courage in any man, because of you: for the LORD your God, he is God in heaven above, and in earth beneath.” Joshua 2:1,9 – 11

“Wherefore thou art great, O LORD God: for there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears. And what one nation in the earth is like thy people, even like Israel, whom God went to redeem for a people to himself, and to make him a name, and to do for you great things and terrible, for thy land, before thy people, which thou redeemedst to thee from Egypt, from the nations and their gods? For thou hast confirmed to thyself thy people Israel to be a people unto thee for ever: and thou, LORD, art become their God.” II Samuel 7:22 – 24

All this Scripture being a given fact and out of the mouth of GOD’s Prophets, are we to also believe that this OMNIPOTENT CREATOR GOD of all things will relinquish HIS POWER and GLORY to the likes of “man” – flesh – that has proven himself to be a liar and one desperate to be magnified as GOD? Unbeknownst to this man-made god, the ONE True GOD takes exception to sharing LIGHT that HE so justly deserves, and the reason is that no one or anything can compare with the CREATOR GOD or with HIS WONDROUS WORKS. And of a certainty only this Most High CREATOR GOD that has proven HIMSELF to be GOD deserves to be Worshipped, Praised, and Gloried.

After all, this dead man on the cross or off it has made no difference in the lives of those who believe in him. But how could he? Because of Israel’s Great sins, GOD said there is none to plead their cause, and that there were no healing medicines for them, not to mention that HE scattered them into the world to suffer at the hands of the heathen, the worst of them.

“There is none to plead thy cause, that thou mayest be bound up: thou hast no healing medicines.” Jeremiah 30:13

“Wherefore I will bring the worst of the heathen, and they shall possess their houses: I will also make the pomp of the strong to cease; and their holy places shall be defiled.” Ezekiel 7:24

Thus, the reason JC could not save the “Lost Sheep of the House of Israel,” and why he conveniently left the scene. How long will it take for those who still believe in him, after 2,000 years, to come to realization of the GOD’s Truth? JC is but the figment of the imaginations of those who fabricated him and the story about him.

It was the GOD of Heaven and Earth that chose the Land of Israel for HIS Covenant People and made Jerusalem HIS Holy City for the Tribe of Levi to minister unto HIM and where all the Tribes of Israel had to go and will in the future go to worship and Feast before HIM on HIS appointed Holy Days for HIS Praise and Glory ALONE! The CREATOR’s WORKS prove HIM to be a most awesome and indisputable GOD. What other god has given those who worship it a land named after them? What other god purports to have Created the Heavens and the Earth and can prove it within its writings?

Few people are aware that it was so-called St. Paul who wrote the final script for Christianity that made it the religion it is, and if Christians would just seek the basis for his understanding, they would see that his belief was based on false information. Paul believed he could change GOD’s WORD and HIS Commandments. He, for whatever reason, decided to profess that people did not need to live by GOD’s LAW but rather “by faith” in a man called JC, and to further his ways, he established churches in Roman provinces. Why, when GOD’s Holy City is Jerusalem – NOT Rome and HIS Holy Place was within HIS Holy Temple – NOT the Vatican?

What man of the True and Living GOD would establish a church (anywhere) when the Most High Commanded that HE be served and worshipped in the place that HE would choose – in Jerusalem and in HIS Holy Temple, and be ministered unto only by HIS Priests, the Levites?

“And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

“And thou shalt give the Levites unto Aaron and to his sons: they are wholly given unto him out of the children of Israel. And thou shalt appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall wait on their priest's office: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.” Numbers 3:5,9,10

“But unto the place which the LORD your God shall choose out of all your tribes to put his name there, even unto his habitation shall ye seek, and thither thou shalt come: And thither ye shall bring your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and heave offerings of your hand, and your vows, and your freewill offerings, and the firstlings of your herds and of your flocks: And there ye shall eat before the LORD your God, and ye shall rejoice in all that ye put your hand unto, ye and your households, wherein the LORD thy God hath blessed thee.” Deuteronomy 12:5 - 7

“Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before the LORD thy God in the place which he shall choose; in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles: and they shall not appear before the LORD empty:” Deuteronomy 16:16

“And the priests the sons of Levi shall come near; for them the LORD thy God hath chosen to minister unto him, and to bless in the name of the LORD; and by their word shall every controversy and every stroke be tried:” Deuteronomy 21:5

In Truth, JC was neither a King of Israel, an Israelite, nor a Levitical Priest. Think about it; he was supposedly of an immaculate conception – born of a virgin - remember? So, how could he have been of the SEED of the Children of Israel? We cannot dismiss the fact that it was GOD that told the Israelites that the Prophets must come from among their “Brethren,” and the King of Israel must be descended from King David.

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

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

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

“The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken;” Deuteronomy 18:15

JC loses out again! Israel’s Prophets had to be descended from the Nation of Israel. My man had no lineage with the Nation of Israel! Being born of a “virgin” kind of cooked his goose, so to speak, or left him high and dry, or out in the cold…hey, you call it! No matter how the coin flips, according to GOD’s WORD at the mouth of HIS Prophet Moses, JC is out!

“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.” Jeremiah 30:21,22

Just notice how strict about pedigree the Israelites were during the days of Ezra and Nehemiah:

“And these were they which went up from Tel-melah, Tel-harsa, Cherub, Addan, and Immer: but they could not shew their father's house, and their seed, whether they were of Israel: The children of Delaiah, the children of Tobiah, the children of Nekoda, six hundred fifty and two. And of the children of the priests: the children of Habaiah, the children of Koz, the children of Barzillai; which took a wife of the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite, and was called after their name: These sought their register among those that were reckoned by genealogy, but they were not found: therefore were they, as polluted, put from the priesthood.” Ezra 2:59 – 62

See what I mean?

Nothing about this “man” JC pans out to be of any Truth, nothing whatsoever! However, with GOD’s Prophets, there was no doubt about their credibility. They were indeed sent by the Most High CREATOR GOD of Israel, as their prophesies continue to be fulfilled before our very eyes, causing us to know that there had been a Prophet among the Israelites.

“But when I speak with thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; He that heareth, let him hear; and he that forbeareth, let him forbear: for they are a rebellious house.” Ezekiel 3:27

JC stated that GOD sent him to the “Lost Sheep of the House of Israel,” but in Truth, GOD had scattered them long before the advent of Christianity. JC being the “Son of God” should have known this. GOD cast HIS rebelliously wicked people into the hands of their enemies to serve them and their false gods, and unto this day they are still in the hands of the heathen.

“And I will bring a sword upon you, that shall avenge the quarrel of my covenant: and when ye are gathered together within your cities, I will send the pestilence among you; and ye shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy.”

Leviticus 26:25

“I have forsaken mine house, I have left mine heritage; I have given the dearly beloved of my soul into the hand of her enemies.” Jeremiah 12:7

“I will even give them into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life: and their dead bodies shall be for meat unto the fowls of the heaven, and to the beasts of the earth.” Jeremiah 34:20

“Jerusalem remembered in the days of her affliction and of her miseries all her pleasant things that she had in the days of old, when her people fell into the hand of the enemy, and none did help her: the adversaries saw her, and did mock at her sabbaths.” Lamentation 1:7

All through the history of the “Old Testament,” the people who defied the CREATOR GOD paid dearly and in most cases with their lives, and this included HIS Covenant People, the Children of Israel.

When the CREATOR GOD of Israel brought water from the rock in Meribah, the Prophet Moses neglected to Sanctify HIM, and he, thus, was not permitted to enter Canaan Land.

“I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.” Isaiah 42:8

“Because ye trespassed against me among the children of Israel at the waters of Meribah-Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because ye sanctified me not in the midst of the children of Israel.” Deuteronomy 32:51

When the CREATOR said HE is a JEALOUS GOD and won’t give HIS Glory to another, HE means it!

Concerning lying prophets, we must consider the acts of the Prophet Hananiah whose efforts to change GOD’s WORDS caused his death.

“Then said the prophet Jeremiah unto Hananiah the prophet, Hear now, Hananiah; The LORD hath not sent thee; but thou makest this people to trust in a lie. Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will cast thee from off the face of the earth: this year thou shalt die, because thou hast taught rebellion against the LORD.” Jeremiah 28:15,16

He, before the existence of JC, thought to deliver the Israelites after their GOD had pronounced seventy (70) years of captivity upon them. You see, the Prophet Hananiah refuted the prophecy of Jeremiah and told the Israelites that they would only be in captivity in Babylon for two (2) years - with his lying self. JC, so the story goes, said he was sent to the “Lost Sheep of the House of Israel,” but if that were true, why didn’t he go to them? Moses was also sent to the Israelites down in Egypt, and he did exactly as GOD had Commanded him, so why couldn’t JC? Plain and simple, the writers and the JC character both lied BIG TIME!

“When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.”

Deuteronomy 18:22

JC also lied about GOD’s Kingdom being at hand. Now, it doesn’t take a genius to realize that if JC didn’t know that GOD’s Kingdom was NOT at hand, then he is neither the so-called “Son of God” nor an entity of the so-called “Trinity.” And really, who wants to believe in a man or god who cannot save himself and obviously not anyone else and who knows nothing about the future and who cannot realize before he opens his mouth that he is about to put his foot in it? Be real and honest for your life’s sake. JC is a “Strange god.”

“There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any strange god. I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.” Psalm 81:9,10

“I have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed, when there was no strange god among you: therefore ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, that I am God.” Isaiah 43:12

You just don’t magnify yourself against the CREATOR GOD and think you can get away with it. This is a good time to make mention of the CREATOR GOD telling HIS People to call on their gods in whom they believe would save them.

“As the thief is ashamed when he is found, so is the house of Israel ashamed; they, their kings, their princes, and their priests, and their prophets, Saying to a stock, Thou art my father; and to a stone, Thou hast brought me forth: for they have turned their back unto me, and not their face: but in the time of their trouble they will say, Arise, and save us. But where are thy gods that thou hast made thee? let them arise, if they can save thee in the time of thy trouble: for according to the number of thy cities are thy gods, O Judah. Wherefore will ye plead with me? ye all have transgressed against me, saith the LORD. In vain have I smitten your children; they received no correction: your own sword hath devoured your prophets, like a destroying lion. O generation, see ye the word of the LORD. Have I been a wilderness unto Israel? a land of darkness? wherefore say my people, We are lords; we will come no more unto thee?”

Jeremiah 2:26 – 31

Although the GOD of Israel scattered HIS Chosen People for their sins, HE has promised to gather them, and because of HIS Glorious and Fearful track record, we must believe HIM.

“Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified. But I am poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God: thou art my help and my deliverer; O LORD, make no tarrying.” Psalm 70:4,5

“Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.” Jeremiah 29:12,13

“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.

“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:” Jeremiah 30:3,8

“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.” Jeremiah 30:9,10

“Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will bring again the captivity of Jacob's tents, and have mercy on his dwelling places; 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. And ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.

“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 30:18 – 22, 24

“Behold, I will gather them out of all countries, whither I have driven them in mine anger, and in my fury, and in great wrath; and I will bring them again unto this place, and I will cause them to dwell safely: And they shall be my people, and I will be their God: And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me for ever, for the good of them, and of their children after them:”

Jeremiah 32:37 – 39

The CREATOR GOD of Israel kept HIS Promises before, and therefore, we have to believe that HE will keep them again.

It would be wise to believe HIM before even considering this so-called “Son of God,” the White Man’s god, that is about as real as the man on the cross that’s wrapped around people’s necks.

That matters not but that which does matter is that the CREATOR GOD says HE will SAVE, and HE WILL HEAL. So, for what do we need the White Man’s god? His god has done nothing to improve the conditions of this Earth, even while there are billions worshipping him.

“But Israel shall be saved in the LORD with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end. For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else.” Isaiah 45:17,18

“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

“And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; but I will put my fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me. Yea, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart and with my whole soul. For thus saith the LORD; Like as I have brought all this great evil upon this people, so will I bring upon them all the good that I have promised them.” Jeremiah 32:40 – 42

“And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity, whereby they have sinned against me; and I will pardon all their iniquities, whereby they have sinned, and whereby they have transgressed against me.” Jeremiah 33:8

I cannot stress enough that the CREATOR GOD never Commanded the worship of this “man” JC.

“If there be found among you, within any of thy gates which the LORD thy God giveth thee, man or woman, that hath wrought wickedness in the sight of the LORD thy God, in transgressing his covenant, And hath gone and served other gods, and worshipped them, either the sun, or moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded;” Deuteronomy 17:2,3

In light of Exodus 20:1 – 3 and all GOD’s appointed Feast Days that are for HIS Praise and Glory, and considering the fact that we must love HM, the GOD of Israel, with all our heart, soul, and might, then there can be no room for serving JC or any other god for that matter. And accordingly, if the GOD of Israel caused our captivity and will cause our Deliverance, it is clear that we must serve and worship HIM and not JC for this so-called “Son of God” has done nothing to deserve holding a candle to the CREATOR GOD much less to be called a “God.” Scripture proves that it is Our GOD of Israel that has blessed and established the Nation of Israel and the Land of Israel – NOT JC!

Consider also the fact that the CREATOR GOD’s Book of the Law is all about serving and worshipping HIM, and that there is no mention or even a suggestion about belief in JC, an Angel, or in any Prophet, either. As a matter of fact death is the sentence for anyone enticing others to serve other gods.

Also, the CREATOR GOD has Commanded that HIS LAW cannot be changed, i.e., we can neither add to nor diminish from it.

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

CLEARLY, this COMMANDMENT prohibits the use of the White Man’s Religion - the Christian theology – the “New Testament.”

And of greater importance, we must realize that the CREATOR GOD is a “Jealous GOD” whose Holy Name is “JEALOUS,” and HE wants ALL THE GLORY! Thus, how can anyone reason that there is any other deity worth worshipping given all that the True and Living GOD has left for us to know and understand? Learning the wisdom of GOD’s LAW, understanding HIS WORD to HIS Prophets, and Fearing HIM will completely eliminate the White Man’s Christian “Son of God” and his religion.

“Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

“…when I shall have brought them into the land which I sware unto their fathers, that floweth with milk and honey; and they shall have eaten and filled themselves, and waxen fat; then will they turn unto other gods, and serve them, and provoke me, and break my covenant.” Deuteronomy 31:6,20

We must bring this Christian worship to a halt, and with the help of Our True and Living GOD of Israel, we will! After all, it is the Israelites who will be ordained this “Light to the World” for the Praise and Glory of the CREATOR GOD of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (Exodus 3:15).

“If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers; Namely, of the gods of the people which are round about you, nigh unto thee, or far off from thee, from the one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth; Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him: But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people. And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die; because he hath sought to thrust thee away from the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.” Deuteronomy 13:6 – 10

“When thou goest out to battle against thine enemies, and seest horses, and chariots, and a people more than thou, be not afraid of them: for the LORD thy God is with thee, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. And it shall be, when ye are come nigh unto the battle, that the priest shall approach and speak unto the people, And shall say unto them, Hear, O Israel, ye approach this day unto battle against your enemies: let not your hearts faint, fear not, and do not tremble, neither be ye terrified because of them; For the LORD your God is he that goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.” Deuteronomy 20:1 – 4

“And the LORD, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed.” Deuteronomy 31:8

“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

We do not need the White Man or his blue-eyed god! We need Our GOD of Israel to return back to us, and it will only happen when we turn to HIM with all our heart, soul, and might!

“Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. And I will be found of you, saith the LORD: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the LORD; and I will bring you again into the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive.” Jeremiah 29:12 - 14

If it is the CREATOR GOD of Israel that keeps us safe, and to HIM we must pray, then for what reason do we need a JC?

What newcomers seeking the GOD’s Truth should ask is, “Why would the White Man want to organize his own religion?”

Of course there are no doubt a thousand different and adverse religions in practice across this globe at this very moment, albeit none of which are instrumental in resolving the chaos and confusion, death, sickness, and misery that plagues this once peaceful Earth. However, none is so powerful and prolific as is Christianity, the religion of the White Man, the ruling authority and influence around the world.

With that in mind, we must remember that the CREATOR GOD cast HIS Chosen People into the hands of the heathen, rather than cause another Flood to destroy all mankind again. And look what happened when Gentile nations began to rule, govern, and control life on this Earth. The heathen has made life a living Hell, not just for the accursed Israelites whom GOD punished for forsaking HIM and for turning to false gods, but also for all peoples who inhabit this planet, Blacks and Whites. No one is exempt from experiencing unhappiness, despair, and crying. You see, when the CREATOR GOD of Israel cursed HIS Covenant People, HE also removed them from the land and caused the remembrance of their identity to cease from among men (Deuteronomy 32:26). HE also gave them and the peoples of this world all the false gods they chose to worship in order to show and prove to the world that in the end, there will be but ONE GOD, the GOD of Israel, and that there is none else.

Another point that must be understood is that when we search the Scriptures, we will see that the CREATOR GOD early on selected for HIMSELF a Covenant People and punished them throughout the “Old Testament” for their abominations. Resulting from the fall of the Nation of Israel is the rise of the enemies of the Children of Israel.

“Jerusalem remembered in the days of her affliction and of her miseries all her pleasant things that she had in the days of old, when her people fell into the hand of the enemy, and none did help her: the adversaries saw her, and did mock at her sabbaths.” Lamentations 1:7

“The Lord hath swallowed up all the habitations of Jacob, and hath not pitied: he hath thrown down in his wrath the strong holds of the daughter of Judah; he hath brought them down to the ground: he hath polluted the kingdom and the princes thereof. He hath cut off in his fierce anger all the horn of Israel: he hath drawn back his right hand from before the enemy, and he burned against Jacob like a flaming fire, which devoureth round about.” Lamentations 2:2,3

“And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the LORD your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed.” Joel 2:27

“You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.” Amos 3:2

Of course these two passages are the GOD’s Truth. Only those who do not read Scripture will deny the fact that ONLY the CREATOR GOD’s WORD validates and confirms the history of the Land of Israel and its establishment, as well as its fall into the hands of the Gentiles.

In order for the Gentile powers to make their Christian man-god believable, they had to fabricate and contrive evidence of a connection between the ONE CREATOR GOD of Israel and their so-called White-blue-eyed JC. Thus, a brand new theology distinctly different from the Hebrew Way of Life, but one that stems directly from it and one that would be believable to the entire world had to be organized.

Furthermore, of great importance to Gentiles it was most necessary to deceive the very “Elect,” the accursed Children of Israel. And the reason is that the reign of the Gentile world powers (including Israeli control of GOD’s Land) would come to an end when the SEED of Jacob would realize the Truth and return to their GOD to be obedient to HIS LAW.

“And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call them to mind among all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath driven thee, And shalt return unto the LORD thy God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul; That then the LORD thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath scattered thee. If any of thine be driven out unto the outmost parts of heaven, from thence will the LORD thy God gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee: And the LORD thy God will bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it; and he will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers.” Deuteronomy 30:1 - 5

The White Man, including Israelis, are well aware of this Scripture, and that which worries them now most of all is that once Israelites return to their GOD of Israel, HE will be with them to protect them and will end Gentile control and authority over them and over the world. Thus, the reign of the Gentiles and their corrupt influence is about to come to a complete halt, as many Israelites now know their identity and have returned to the Holy ONE of Israel to be obedient and to live according to HIS Laws, Statutes, and Judgments.

The oppressive and merciless exclusion of minorities in the equal distribution of wealth and employment in prestigious positions in government and in corporate positions have been the order for centuries, but given GOD’s WORD and HIS love for HIS Covenant People, the handwriting on the wall is clear. Current events don’t lie. This is the time of the end, and everything points to the Most High GOD judging the nations and taking back HIS Universe!

“I have commanded my sanctified ones, I have also called my mighty ones for mine anger, even them that rejoice in my highness.

^“Howl ye; for the day of the LORD is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.” Isaiah 13:3,6

“And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth.”

Isaiah 24:21

“O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit. Shall a man make gods unto himself, and they are no gods? Therefore, behold, I will this once cause them to know, I will cause them to know mine hand and my might; and they shall know that my name is The LORD.” Jeremiah 16:19 - 21

And at the end of the day, the CREATOR GOD will not only be reunited with HIS Covenant People, but HE will be MAGNIFIED and WORSHIPPED by all the peoples and nations remaining upon HIS much improved and well replenished Earth.

“Yea, many people and strong nations shall come

to seek the LORD of hosts in Jerusalem, and to pray before the LORD.”

Zechariah 8:22

“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.”

Jeremiah 30:10

“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 Zion, whom no man seeketh after. Thus saith the LORD;

Behold, I will bring again the captivity of Jacob's tents,

and have mercy on his dwelling places; 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.”

Jeremiah 30:16 – 20

“The LORD reigneth; let the earth rejoice;

let the multitude of isles be glad thereof.

“For thou, LORD, art high above all the earth: thou art exalted far above all gods. Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints;

he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.”

Psalm 97:1,9,10

THE SMOKESCREEN

We can assume the Universe was established by a “Big Bang,” or we can seek a more intelligent theory.

The more intelligent reasoning is that a Supreme Being did in fact Create the Heavens, Earth, and all things therein. Then the issue becomes, “Did this Supreme Being intend for HIS CREATION to exist in such a chaotic state of absolute Hell, as it is now?” If not, then it is incumbent upon us to seek answers for the present horrific state of affairs in the Land of Israel and the rest of the Middle East that is capable of spreading to other countries even to the United States.

It is not likely that this Supreme Being did not advise the people of HIS Creation IN THE BEGINNING of how to live in goodness and in peace with each other, which certainly entailed how to worship HIM for giving them life. For there not to exist harmony and happiness on this Earth, it is evident that from the looks of things and from the ever-present catastrophic events taking place on Earth, this Supreme Being is furious with the peoples HE Created.

This is where we are now. The CREATOR is Judging the peoples of HIS Creation and is taking back HIS Universe.

History proves that Jerusalem is the Holy City of the GOD of Israel, that the Israelites are HIS Chosen, Covenant People, and that the Land of Israel belongs to HIM, as well. So, why all the attention to this area of the world that is proving to be the beginning of the end of this present world system?

The Palestinians have been in the land since the reign of King Saul, and the European Israelis have been a State since 1948, opening their doors to other converted Europeans and whomsoever else wishing to take part in this process and live off the fat of GOD’s Holy Land. The Palestinians and the Israelis have been at war ever since. If these two groups can live together anywhere in the world except in Israel, then there must be a very good reason why. However, the reason is not one that Israelis desire to make public. Israeli hatred of the Arabs is not at all the issue. There exists a more profound reason than that. Finger pointing at the Arabs is but the ubiquitous smokescreen presented to the world.

THE TRUTH ABOUT CONVERSION TO SO-CALLED “JUDAISM”

The world should connect the dots and learn the truth regarding the Europeans who control GOD’s Holy Land. There is no way the GOD of Israel will accept a conversion process that changes Europeans, Americans, and Middle Easterners into “Jews.” GOD’s Covenant is with Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and their SEED. Accordingly, how can we dismiss the fact that Abraham was called out of Ur of the Chaldeans – NOT out of Europe. GOD well knows HIS Chosen People, no matter that HE took their identity from them and cast them from HIS Land.

And their being scattered into the “Four Corners of the Earth” to serve their enemies has everything to do with the problems in the Middle East, as this crisis relates to the CREATOR GOD taking back HIS Universe, HIS Holy Land, HIS Holy City, and HIS Chosen People. The Israelis know this. They see the handwriting on the wall, but they are fighting the CREATOR GOD tooth and nail. That’s what this war is all about - Israeli control - to keep out the SEED of Jacob whom GOD is calling home. Hence, the Israelis, even if time permitted, would not give the Palestinians their State for fear the Israelites would seek to live there also. And just for the record, one can learn about the true identity of the descendants of Jacob by reading what the CREATOR GOD of Israel said would befall them in Leviticus 26^th and Deuteronomy 28^th Chapters.

The Israelis have a rabid requirement to control all the Land of Israel including the Palestinian territories for one reason and for one reason only, which has everything to do with their “Law of Return.” The Israelis and their Rabbinute (their religious party) are ever aware that the CREATOR GOD of Israel has a Covenant People – The Twelve Tribes of Jacob, and they know that according to Biblical Prophecy the CREATOR GOD of the Land of Israel and this Universe will restore HIS Chosen People to their heritage. For obvious reasons, in no way do the Israelis (European converts to what’s called “Judaism,” which is of their own making) want this to happen, for then they will no longer have control of the Land of Israel at all. However, they know their days are numbered.

“Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I have lifted up mine hand, Surely the heathen that are about you, they shall bear their shame. But ye, O mountains of Israel, ye shall shoot forth your branches, and yield your fruit to my people of Israel; for they are at hand to come. For, behold, I am for you, and I will turn unto you, and ye shall be tilled and sown: And I will multiply men upon you, all the house of Israel, even all of it: and the cities shall be inhabited, and the wastes shall be builded:” Ezekiel 36:7 – 10

Now, the Truth is out. This is the reason for the decades of turmoil, death, and destruction over GOD’s Holy Land. And of a Truth, the Israeli powers-that-be have no qualms about their dilemma. They are prepared to fight to the end, but who are they really fighting? It all has to do with what prophecy foretells, and what must be fulfilled.

Conversely, Israelis are putting too much false hope in their military powers. When it comes to the Children of Israel, the CREATOR GOD fights their battles, and since it is time for their return, there is nothing Israeli’ weaponry can do to stop GOD’s Commandment from manifesting.

The Israelites were formed to show forth GOD’s Praise and to be a light to the world for HIS Ways of Righteousness – HIS Book of the Law (the teachings of the Prophet Moses – NOT the Talmud compiled by European “Jews”).

“Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein: I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;”

Isaiah 42:5,6

“This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise.”

Isaiah 43:21

And it is for this reason the Supreme Being, or rather the CREATOR GOD of Israel is taking back HIS magnificent Universe and making it a place of Divine Peace, one that Exalts and Magnifies HIM for all HIS Wondrous Works.

The CREATOR GOD has held HIS Peace for a very long time, all because of the curses HE put on HIS Chosen People for forsaking HIM for false gods and for rejecting HIS LAW. Their rebellion caused GOD to cast HIS People into the hands of the heathen, and HE went into seclusion permitting Gentiles to run the world and teach HIS People a lesson that would send them running back to HIM seeking forgiveness with contrite spirits.

“I have long time holden my peace; I have been still, and refrained myself: now will I cry like a travailing woman; I will destroy and devour at once.” Isaiah 42:14

For a long time people believed that the European “Jews” were really the people of the Bible, but the CREATOR knows HIS Chosen People, the SEED of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the men with whom HE made an Everlasting Covenant (Genesis 17:1 – 21).

From the Slave Trade to world hatred, and enduring racism and discrimination all over the world, Blacks have suffered at the hands of those who ruled over them. But now, the CREATOR GOD of Israel is awakening the Dry Bones and calling HIS People home to the chagrin and utter dismay of European Israelis who are helpless to do anything about it but who still have plans to thwart the WORD of GOD. Trust me, their efforts will not end in victory, and nothing since 1948 has even given them hope that they could take the place of the SEED of Jacob/Israel (Genesis 32:28) – neither by conversion nor submersion.

Thus, the reasons for the war for Israeli control of GOD’s Land and the reasons for a world of troubled times, disasters, endless suffering, despair, and many, many tears.

The CREATOR is taking back HIS Universe and keeping HIS Everlasting Promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the Patriarchs of the Nation of Israel.

“And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again stay upon him that smote them; but shall stay upon the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth. The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God. For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return: the consumption decreed shall overflow with righteousness.” Isaiah 10:20 - 22

“And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.” Isaiah 11:11

“For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain.” Isaiah 66:22

“Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will bring again the captivity of Jacob's tents, and have mercy on his dwellingplaces; and the city shall be builded upon her own heap, and the palace shall remain after the manner thereof. And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small. Their children also shall be as aforetime, and their congregation shall be established before me, and I will punish all that oppress them. And their nobles shall be of themselves, and their governor shall proceed from the midst of them; and I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach unto me: for who is this that engaged his heart to approach unto me? saith the LORD.”

Jeremiah 30:18 – 21

“At the same time, saith the LORD, will I be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be my people. Thus saith the LORD, The people which were left of the sword found grace in the wilderness; even Israel, when I went to cause him to rest. The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee. Again I will build thee, and thou shalt be built, O virgin of Israel: thou shalt again be adorned with thy tabrets, and shalt go forth in the dances of them that make merry. Thou shalt yet plant vines upon the mountains of Samaria: the planters shall plant, and shall eat them as common things. For there shall be a day, that the watchmen upon the mount Ephraim shall cry, Arise ye, and let us go up to Zion unto the LORD our God. For thus saith the LORD; Sing with gladness for Jacob, and shout among the chief of the nations: publish ye, praise ye, and say, O LORD, save thy people, the remnant of Israel. Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the coasts of the earth, and with them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her that travaileth with child together: a great company shall return thither. They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them: I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way, wherein they shall not stumble: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn. Hear the word of the LORD, O ye nations, and declare it in the isles afar off, and say, He that scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd doth his flock. For the LORD hath redeemed Jacob, and ransomed him from the hand of him that was stronger than he. Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and shall flow together to the goodness of the LORD, for wheat, and for wine, and for oil, and for the young of the flock and of the herd: and their soul shall be as a watered garden; and they shall not sorrow any more at all. Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, both young men and old together: for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow.” Jeremiah 31:1 – 13

“The remnant of Israel shall not do iniquity, nor speak lies; neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth: for they shall feed and lie down, and none shall make them afraid.” Zephaniah 3:13

“Behold, at that time I will undo all that afflict thee: and I will save her that halteth, and gather her that was driven out; and I will get them praise and fame in every land where they have been put to shame.” Zephaniah 3:19

And for all HIS Creations, especially man, the ONE CREATOR GOD of Israel will be acknowledged and worshipped by HIS Chosen People and all Nations remaining from HIS Wrath and destruction of the wicked. The world will revolve around its MAKER!

Yes, the All-Mighty CREATOR will liberate HIS Holy Land and will return to HIS Holy City Jerusalem, where once again HIS Holy Priests will minister before HIM and where people of all Nations will visit to Bless HIM for HIS GOODNESS and for HIS Holy Name’s Sake.

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

“And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.” Zechariah 14:16

FINALLY:

“Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD's anger.” Zephaniah 2:3

WHAT IS THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF THE CREATOR GOD?

“And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before the LORD our God, as he hath commanded us.” Deuteronomy 6:25

“When all Israel is come to appear before the LORD thy God in the place which he shall choose, thou shalt read this law before all Israel in their hearing. Gather the people together, men and women, and children, and thy stranger that is within thy gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear the LORD your God, and observe to do all the words of this law: And that their children, which have not known any thing, may hear, and learn to fear the LORD your God, as long as ye live in the land whither ye go over Jordan to possess it.”

Deuteronomy 31:11 - 13

This repeat and fulfillment of the above passage is just a matter of time.

WE WANT ANSWERS, BUT CAN WE HANDLE THE TRUTH?

What in the world is happening?

As people watch and experience frightening and disastrous floods, killer storms, Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, destructive fires, famine, and incurable diseases, they can only ask, “Will I and my loved ones be spared?”

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

As people raise their children, they wonder, “How can I explain the reasons why GOD does not end hunger, impoverishment, race hatred, unhappiness, ubiquitous catastrophes, and bring peace to this Earth?”

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

A SPECIAL REPORT ON THE “KOY”

TAKE DILIGENT HEED…

“…take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law,

which Moses the servant of the LORD charged you, to love the LORD your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments,

and to cleave unto him,

and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul.”

Joshua 22:5

June 19, 2006

What exactly does the GOD of Israel mean when HE Commands us to take diligent heed to do HIS Commandments and HIS LAW?

IN THAT…

“I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.” Deuteronomy 30:19,20

AND…

“And he said unto them, Set your hearts unto all the words which I testify among you this day, which ye shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of this law. For it is not a vain thing for you; because it is your life: and through this thing ye shall prolong your days in the land, whither ye go over Jordan to possess it.” Deuteronomy 32:46,47

I would think that to take diligent heed means to be extremely cautious to keep GOD’s LAW, read and study it, DO IT, and pray to the GOD of Israel for wisdom to understand it. And in addition to that common sense would be to either join with others so determined or be alone in returning back to the Holy ONE and what’s required of the SEED of Jacob.

This might seem ever so trivial a detail to some, but it means a world to the GOD of Israel. You see, I used to belong to Ben Ammi’s group, and I left for many reasons, but mainly because he was allowing people to call him JC and “Saviour” and because he was not concerned about GOD’s LAW and much less about taking heed to live and do it.

What truly, truly disturbs me is that there are people encouraging Israelites to join up with Ben Ammi and accept his title – “Messianic Leader,” as well as the blasphemous notion that the True and Living GOD would have such a congregation to represent HIM. Yes, of course the so-called “KOY” exists, but it does not represent the GOD of Israel and HIS LAW, i.e., HIS Ways of Righteousness that HE Commanded of the Prophet Moses to teach to the Nation of Israel. This group does not in any way signify the Kingdom of YAH, and indeed it cannot in any way portray GOD’s Righteous Kingdom.

The “KOY” is a congregation of people calling themselves Israelites and living according to the Laws of Ben Ammi and the imaginations of his contrary and devious heart. The wise in the knowledge of Truth know that Ben Ammi’s camp, built on corruption, crime, lust, adultery, and death, cannot in any way be connected with the Holy ONE of Israel’s Divine and Righteous Kingdom or cannot be established to receive the Remnant GOD said would return.

“The anger of the LORD shall not return, until he have executed, and till he have performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it perfectly. I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied. But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.” Jeremiah 23:20 – 22

“My people hath been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray, they have turned them away on the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten their restingplace.” Jeremiah 50:6

Moreover, King David’s Seed will head the CREATOR GOD’s Righteous Kingdom that will exist upon this Earth, and he will know to be the perfect role model for living GOD’s LAW in Righteousness.

I have never read where Kings David and Solomon called themselves “Messiah.”

“And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD; And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears: But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked. And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins.” Isaiah 11:1 – 5

“And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.” Isaiah 11:10

And this Righteous Kingdom will be all about serving, worshipping, and PRAISING the GOD of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and about representing HIM and spreading HIS Laws, Statutes, and Judgments throughout this world, in order that the CREATOR GOD of Israel will be Magnified and will receive all the Praise and all the Glory, so that people will abandon the “New Testament” and its theology. Have no doubts about it, the son of David will rule from Jerusalem and the GOD of Heaven and Earth will rule over all (Psalm 103:19).

I find nothing in GOD’s WORD to support an existence of HIS Kingdom in Israel under the control of Gentile Jews. Ben Ammi has deceived hundreds into believing this lie that he is the Messianic leader of GOD’s Kingdom. How long are we going to follow leaders who use GOD’s Holy Name in vain?!

Taking heed to keep GOD’s LAW would entail staying as far from Ben Ammi as possible. And the fact that HE keeps his stores open on GOD’s Holy Day of Complete REST is a darn good red flag and eye-opener that shouts to stay away from this leader, as of a Truth, he does not FEAR the GOD of Israel to do HIS Will. And what better information exists from Our GOD to prove Ben Ammi to be one who defies the All-Mighty GOD!

“To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.” Isaiah 8:20

This passage is the best gauge Israelites have for determining and for understanding who to accept as a genuine leader or know who FEARS the Holy ONE of Israel. If Ben Ammi and the people of his camp defy the Most High GOD of Israel, then why join with them, and why take part in their beliefs unfounded in GOD’s LAW and in their disobedience?

“Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.” Psalm 1:1,2

“I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked.” Psalm 26:5

“If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:” Psalm 66:18

“Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practise wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties.” Psalm 141:4

“Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the LORD hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me. The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider. Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.” Isaiah 1:2 - 4

Another perfect incident that serves to explain why we cannot join with people who break GOD’s LAW concerns Jehoshaphat and Ahziah. And does it ever speak VOLUMES!

“And after this did Jehoshaphat king of Judah join himself with Ahaziah king of Israel, who did very wickedly: And he joined himself with him to make ships to go to Tarshish: and they made the ships in Eziongaber. Then Eliezer the son of Dodavah of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, Because thou hast joined thyself with Ahaziah, the LORD hath broken thy works. And the ships were broken, that they were not able to go to Tarshish.” II Chronicles 20:35 – 37

Let’s not pretend we don’t know about our past and how our stiffnecked and rebellious forebears loved to be connected with evildoers and how they encouraged the lawful to follow wickedness. At least admit to what THUS SAITH THE LORD!

At this late day and in the time of Jacob’s Trouble, why would we even consider joining with Ben Ammi or with anyone or with any congregation that does not make GOD’s LAW the Paths of Righteousness to follow and walk? Our GOD of Israel promises us that if we return to HIM and HIS LAW, that then we can return to our heritage (Deuteronomy 30:1-4). If people will join with Ben Ammi, then for them GOD’s Promise is made void.

“And ye shall know that I am the LORD: for ye have not walked in my statutes, neither executed my judgments, but have done after the manners of the heathen that are round about you.” Ezekiel 11:12

“Why criest thou for thine affliction? thy sorrow is incurable for the multitude of thine iniquity: because thy sins were increased, I have done these things unto thee.” Jeremiah 30:15

“And hast given them this land, which thou didst swear to their fathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey; And they came in, and possessed it; but they obeyed not thy voice, neither walked in thy law; they have done nothing of all that thou commandedst them to do: therefore thou hast caused all this evil to come upon them:” Jeremiah 32:22,23

What a crime! Ben Ammi was among the blessed to return, but just like his rebellious forefathers, he, too, refuses to be obedient to the LAWS of the GOD of Israel.

The WORD of the GOD of Israel also condemns Ben Ammi for calling himself a “Messianic Leader” in order to gather Israelites and Christians into his fold. But in no way does he emulate the “Old Testament” men of GOD!

Was Moses, Joshua, Samuel, the kings of Israel, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, or any of the other Prophets who promoted GOD’s Book of the Law and who spoke “THUS SAITH THE LORD” called a Messiah? Do we need this? Is this something required of us to have before us?

I listened to a Brother in Paltalk Chat go to extremes to contrive a justifiable explanation for Ben Ammi calling himself a Messiah. The Truth of the matter is that this word is not even connected with Hebrew-Israelite Culture. “Jews” and Christians and the Book of Daniel and the “New Testament” are very much associated with the word “Messiah,” but not the Israelites who wandered forty years in the Wilderness and inhabited the Land of Israel. And if Moses was NOT given this C.E. terminology to introduce to the Children of Israel, then there is no reason for us to know about it at all. There isn’t even ANY information in this Book of Daniel or in the “New Testament” that is essential for Israelites to know and do – none at all. All that the GOD of Israel required of us to know and do was given to HIS Servant Moses and is reiterated in the books of HIS Prophets who utter “THUS SAITH THE LORD.” There is no “THUS SIAITH THE LORD” in the Book of Daniel or in the “New Testament.” Both of these books were written AFTER GOD scattered HIS Chosen People, Israel, from the land. That being the case, this literature is suspect, and proof of this is the fact that the Israelites were scattered to live in “Darkness” and to serve their enemies. So, why would the Holy ONE give them any information about seventy weeks or seventy years or seventy anything?

And even if this information is for a time after the Israelites return, the information still makes no sense. “And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week…” (Daniel 9:27). This verse contradicts what “THUS SAITH THE LORD” about HIS Covenant in Jeremiah 31:31 – 34 and in Ezekiel 20:37. And not one of GOD’s Prophets makes mention of this event in the Book of Daniel.

Just for the record, “THUS SAITH THE LORD” is mentioned more than 400 times in the “Old Testament” but not even once in the Book of Daniel or in the “New Testament.” That’s no mistake. That’s for us to think logically and connect the dots! Therefore, when we do the research concerning the year the Book of Daniel was probably written, we will see that this Book of Daniel and the “New Testament” were written to deceive Israelites, and, thus, we have no reason to accept the information in either of these books as being GOD’s WORD.

GOD’s Covenants – HIS LAW and HIS Promises, as well as the “New Covenant” spoken of in Jeremiah 31:31-34 - will resume upon our return to our heritage. And there is no other WORD of GOD to have us believe that any one of these Covenants will be one week. Actually, when you consider what’s written in Daniel 9:27, none of this chapter makes any sense whatsoever.

“He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations. Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac; And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant:” Psalm 105:8 – 10

“Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he heard their cry: And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his mercies.” Psalm 106:44,45

The Holy ONE of Israel has not only remembered HIS Covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, but HE has opened our eyes to the fact that WE ARE HIS PEOPLE, but unfortunately, too many of us do not choose to do that which is necessary to stay in HIS good graces.

Another serious issue is that certain people credit Ben Ammi with moving Israelites to Liberia and then on to Israel. The GOD of Israel did not say that Ben Ammi would deliver HIS People. HE said that HE would, and when HE does, for sure HE wants all the GLORY, every whit! HE got all the GLORY in the Israelite Deliverance out of Egypt, and HE, unequivocally, will be Exalted AGAIN upon the return of the Remnant of Israel that GOD promises HE WILL GATHER. To suggest or even think for a moment that Ben Ammi deserves recognition for that which is due to the Holy ONE of Israel leads me to believe that some of us, being Israelites, have truly lost sight of what’s important to know and understand. It would appear that the Holy ONE is again proving Israelites to determine who will and who will not enter into HIS Glorious Kingdom.

And just because people think Ben Ammi to be prosperous and have more than other congregations is no reason to boast about the advancements he has made. When I hear this, I am constantly reminded of the “green bay tree” in Psalms.

“Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.” Psalm 37:1 – 3

“I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree. Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found. Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace.” Psalm 37:35 - 37

“They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches; None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him:” Psalm 49:6,7

“Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.” Psalm 127:1

It would appear that people don’t yet get the full understanding of the above verse that is loaded with Truth, conviction, and certainty. Time proves everything! The Flood of Noah’s Day and the scattering of the Nation of Israel into the Four Corners of the Earth are proven facts that the CREATOR GOD of Israel does not tolerate people taking HIS Name in vain, disobedience of HIS LAW, and the worship of false gods and even of man.

Ben Ammi is not “perfect.” He, himself, said in 1996 that he is doing 60%. Thus, he isn’t even close to being “the perfect man.” He is failing and falling fast! His works and teachings speak volumes. We have history to probe for what “THUS SAITH THE LORD” and for what required of us. AND we have read what has happened to Israelites who stray from GOD’s LAW in order to establish their own direction. We have book after book in the “Old Testament” that gives us all the information we need concerning rebellious Israelites. We know what the GOD of Israel did to them, and we know that HE has not changed HIS Ordinances one iota, and that HE will NEVER change them. Hence, knowing all this, and knowing what the GOD of Moses has said about HIS LAW and the consequences for not keeping it (in Deuteronomy 28^th Chapter), knowing that HE will MAGNIFY HIS LAW and put it in our hearts, knowing that we were scattered for not observing this Divine LAW, would Our GOD of Israel send such a leader as Ben Ammi who has no regard for HIS LAW but rather for magnifying himself and a bogus “KOY”? Perfect men of GOD do not grandstand and promote adverse teachings. They vehemently stress doing the WORD of the GOD of Israel and with “ONE” mindset.

Without question, “the perfect man” FEARS the GOD of Israel to live and do HIS Book of the Law. It is accepting GOD’s Righteousness and to live by it that is our ticket into the CREATOR GOD of Israel’s Peaceful Kingdom. It is not Ben Ammi’s veggie and no-salt diets. Ben Ammi is not concerned about GOD’s LAW, and neither is the GOD of Israel in his thoughts. This “KOY” in Dimona is really nothing more than the Kingdom of Ben Ammi, and he is no more the “Saviour” that he is called than is the jc of the “New Testament.” Ben Ammi and the other leaders in his Camp know exactly how to run their game, and those who they beguile either know nothing of the GOD of Israel and HIS LAW, or they have chosen to forget the GOD of Israel and HIS LAW and listen to and believe in a man whose foundation is built on lies, corruption, and death. Therefore, I caution everyone to be very cautious of what is believed, and the reason is that if we CHOOSE to believe in wickedness, then GOD will help to encourage that false belief.

“Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not hearkened unto my words, nor to my law, but rejected it.” Jeremiah 6:19

“Because Ephraim hath made many altars to sin, altars shall be unto him to sin.” Hosea 8:11

What wills Israelites to turn from the WORD of GOD? What force is there that can make GOD’s Chosen People defy HIM? Never mind. I don’t think I want to know. In any case, those who join with Ben Ammi should know that you give up your assets and you are expected to conform to the expectations of the Camp, and you will adhere to WILL adhere to their ways or be punished by beatings and losing your flamboyant “title.” What a scam, the best since the advent of Christianity. However, only the Holy ONE will prove them a fraud and with the Righteous Remnant HE is calling – HIS Chosen Ones who have determined to serve and worship ONLY HIM.

“And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.” Joel 2:32

“For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth. The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.” Psalm 10:3,4

“My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad. O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.” Psalm 34:2,3

“In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ever. Selah.” Psalm 44:8

Is this a time for us to boast? Ben Ammi is subject to the will of Gentile Jews. Why is he boasting, and why are others boasting for him? Is this not a time to turn to the Most High GOD of Israel and boast of HIM and seek HIM for understanding IN HIS LAW and in HIS WORD to HIS Prophets? Should we not thirst and hunger for GOD’s Truth?

“All the commandments which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers. And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no. And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.” Deuteronomy 8:3

Ezekiel speaks about the Holy ONE of Israel gathering us and taking us into a SECOND WILDERNESS. If Ben Ammi, or anyone for that matter, does not observe GOD’s Holy Seventh Day of Complete REST, as it is written, will he not be purged, as the GOD of Israel has said? Can it really be that the CREATOR GOD of the Heavens and the Earth will allow Ben Ammi and his Camp to fast on HIS Holy Day and have his restaurants open defying HIS Commandment? Come on, People! Who is fooling whom?

“And I will bring you out from the people, and will gather you out of the countries wherein ye are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out. And I will bring you into the wilderness of the people, and there will I plead with you face to face. Like as I pleaded with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I plead with you, saith the Lord GOD. And I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant: And I will purge out from among you the rebels, and them that transgress against me: I will bring them forth out of the country where they sojourn, and they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.” Ezekiel 20:34 – 38

Ironically, from this passage, Ben Ammi will not enter into the very Kingdom he boasts.

“And he spake unto the congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of their's, lest ye be consumed in all their sins.” Numbers 16:26

“I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked.” Psalm 26:5

Surely, we know about Israelites who speak of the Holy ONE of Israel with their lips but have hearts far from HIM. This is the case with all Israel who acknowledge the Holy ONE of Israel but DO NOT live by HIS Book of the Law, as it is written.

“Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody men.”

Isaiah 59:2

Some of us might think it is all right to join with congregations that defy GOD’s LAW, but this is wholly against doing. The Holy ONE of Israel is not impressed with the direction some of us have taken. First of all, we do not need leaders. Our Merciful GOD has brought us out of darkness in revealing to us our true identity and has made us know that we are more than just descendants of Slaves. HE did this because of HIS Promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and because we are HIS Chosen People. Wake up, Israel! We need Our GOD, the Holy ONE of Israel. We can call upon HIM for direction, wisdom, and understanding. That’s why HE is Our GOD. HE does not tell us to call upon HIM for naught. HE did not say trust not in a friend for naught. HE did not say that those who follow after evil leaders will be destroyed for naught (Isaiah 9:16). Our GOD has always wanted to be the center of our lives and of our world. And if we are obedient and will devote our lives to HIM, HE will be our LEADER, and for choosing HIM, we will not thirst or want for any good thing. And at the designated time, HE promises to send us HIS Pastors. But until then, trust in ONLY Our GOD of Israel and see HIS miraculous WORKS for those HE loves!

People have come forward with information on Ben Ammi, and the Brother promoting the so-called “Keys to the Kingdom” is aware of this. I have also posted information on Ben Ammi and his camp to the LawKeepers Forum. And if people will still join with him, after learning about this useless kingdom, then they certainly have no one but themselves to blame for whatever might befall them. More importantly, those who will read this Message and will still seek to join and be associated with the Ben Ammi Camp can’t say they didn’t know and certainly won’t be able to plead ignorance. They can’t say their leaders are at fault. They can’t say they believed in a Brother whom they thought knew what he was talking about with some “Keys to the Kingdom.” And the reason they cannot feign all these excuses is because all GOD’s warnings and counsel are written in HIS LAW and in HIS WORD to HIS Prophets. “TAKE DILIGENT HEED…” Also, HE provides knowledge to those who earnestly seek it. The Holy ONE of Israel is a Most Merciful GOD and SAVIOR and has covered ALL bases, and HE has left out nothing of significance for us to know and do. Our GOD of Israel has even left us with HIS WORD and good reason why we should not trust in man.

“Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help. His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish. Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God: Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever:” Psalm 146:3 - 6

“Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom.” Micah 7:5

I feel like this: If I am going to fall by the wayside, it will not be because of following some stiffnecked, grandstanding, rebellious Israelite leaders. In that respect, I have learned what not to do very well and mainly from watching lawless Israelites in Ben Ammi’s Camp and listening to him speak the imaginations of his heart.

The Dry Bones have a chance to live and serve and worship the Holy ONE of Israel, but only if we will return to HIM (not to Ben Ammi) to FEAR ONLY HIM and be obedient to the Ways of the CREATOR GOD of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. It has been more than 2,500 years since we lost our heritage. And the only way we will return to it is by looking to our SAVIOR, Our ONLY HELP.

With Ben Ammi there is an arm of flesh; but with us is the LORD Our GOD to help us if we will only let HIM. But we must take diligent heed to follow HIS Paths of Righteousness. May Our Holy ONE of Israel bless the man courageous enough to speak HIS Truth and stand up for HIS LAW, the ONLY True Path of Righteousness.

“Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy; To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine. Our soul waiteth for the LORD: he is our help and our shield. For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.” Psalm 33:18 – 21

“Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man. Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.” Psalm 60:11,12

“Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.” Psalm 124:8

Wake up, Israel. It is a fact that Ben Ammi does not live by GOD’s LAW. This we know! And since he doesn’t, the so-called KOY, under the leadership of Ben Ammi is just another Messianic congregation in deep trouble with the GOD of Israel. As for me, I shall serve the Most High GOD of Israel and strive to be perfect in HIS LAW. And all those who FEAR the GOD of Israel will do likewise. Going home in no way entails joining Ben Ammi’s congregation, and if this is what you believe, then you are greatly deceived.

“In those days, and in that time, saith the LORD, the children of Israel shall come, they and the children of Judah together, going and weeping: they shall go, and seek the LORD their God.” Jeremiah 50:4

“O thou that art named the house of Jacob, is the spirit of the LORD straitened? are these his doings? do not my words do good to him that walketh uprightly?”

Micah 2:7

“And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and HE WILL TEACH US OF HIS WAYS, and we will walk in his paths: for THE LAW SHALL GO FORTH OF ZION, AND THE WORD OF THE LORD FROM JERUSALEM.” Micah 4:2 (Caps. are mine.)

WAKE UP, ISRAEL! Our GOD is calling us, and HE is being very selective. HE is only taking Israelites who will vow themselves to HIM and to HIS LAW. For that reason, there will only be a “Remnant” to make it to GOD’s Kingdom – only a Remnant.

“But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him. Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah. Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.” Psalm 4:3 - 5

So, be aware, and TAKE DILIGENT HEED. This is our last shot to be returned to our heritage.

“The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him. But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die. All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live. Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord GOD: and not that he should return from his ways, and live? But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die.” Ezekiel 18:20 - 24

Thus, it is most critical that GOD FEARING Israelites discern right from wrong and denounce defiance and disobedience to GOD’s LAW.

“But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children; To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.” Psalm 103:17,18

And at the same time we must embrace wisdom and knowledge and abide by it. Don’t waste precious time on a NOTORIOUS leader who has no respect for the “SIGN” of GOD’s Holy Seventh Day Sabbath of REST that binds us with Our GOD of Israel. The last thing Israelites who seek the GOD of Israel need is to hear a philosophy inconsistent with that of GOD’s Book of the Law.

What a shame to have people’s stomachs growling from their hunger pains and incessantly thinking of what they will eat when the Sabbath is ended, rather than thinking about the Mercies of the SAVIOR GOD of Israel and giving Glory to HIM for giving us a Blessed Day of REST. How do I know all this? I’ve been there and done that! What a shame to have people not enjoying food on GOD’s Seventh Day Sabbath and their giving in to blessed slumber and rest on full stomachs. WHAT A SHAME! Ben Ammi forgets that this Seventh Day is the CREATOR’s Anniversary, and it is HE that has COMMANDED, how HE wants it observed. To his hurt, Ben Ammi does not see it that way.

Those who decline from GOD’s Ways of Righteousness can expect to literally go mad and die. This is GOD’s WORD – not mine! Ben Ammi initially taught GOD’s LAW and as far as I knew abided by it. Actually, this was the reason I joined “Abeta Israel,” the Israelite congregation in which he was a member. But he allowed a former Christian preacher who joined his group to entice him to be the “Messiah” and “Saviour” of the Nation of Israel. By the way, his congregation does for sure call him “Lord and Saviour.” I have heard a woman make reference to him as being that, and Asiel, the so-called “KOY” Ambassador confirms that Ben Ammi saved him. He made this statement in the Paltalk Chat a few months ago. For this reason, Ben Ammi has gone, not just mad but, stark raving mad. I feel it is important to inform you that the woman (Rachel) who called Ben Ammi “Lord and Saviour” is now deceased. And just for the record, the man who is supposed to have “anointed” Ben Ammi is dead and has been dead for a long time, now.

ISRAEL DOES NOT KNOW!

“The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat from God.” Psalm 104:21

Why can’t we just seek Our GOD of Israel and be obedient to what HE requires of us? After all, HIS Book of the Law and HIS WORD to HIS Prophets are our Bread of Life.

“Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the LORD that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself; That frustrateth the tokens of the liars, and maketh diviners mad; that turneth wise men backward, and maketh their knowledge foolish;” Isaiah 44:24,25

King David Feared and loved the GOD of Israel with all his heart and soul, and we have him as evidence that we, also, can indeed be people after GOD’s own heart. Notice his Psalm 101:

“I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O LORD, will I sing. I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart. I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me. A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person. Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer. Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve me. He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight. I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut off all wicked doers from the city of the LORD.”

I question the motives of those who promote Ben Ammi’s so-called “KOY” and disseminate information leading people to believe that he is a Messiah. Ben Ammi’s works judge him to be nothing more than a Lawbreaker who is steadfastly working against the WORD of the GOD of Israel, and who is relentlessly expounding on his books, his diets, his authority, his being a Messiah, and his “Kingdom of Ben Ammi.”

Wake up, Israel, and take diligent heed to the LAW and WORD of the GOD of Israel before it is too late. Our GOD is taking back HIS Universe, and I PRAISE HIM, for I hate this world system that enables people to live as they choose rather than live by “every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD…” (Deuteronomy 8:3).

“I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being. My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the LORD. Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless thou the LORD, O my soul. Praise ye the LORD.” Psalm 104:33 – 35

“Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from among the heathen, to give thanks unto thy holy name, and to triumph in thy praise. Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting…” Psalm 106:47

“For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.” Psalm 5:12

WHO IS ON THE LORD’s SIDE, make haste to return to HIM and to HIS Book of the Law and to live and do it in Righteousness with your whole heart and soul!

BLESSED BE THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL FOR HIS MERCIFUL KINDNESS TOWARDS THOSE WHO SEEK HIM AND WHO ARE OBEDIENT TO HIS LAW!

Me and My GOD with me,

REFLECTING ON GOD’S WORD IN REGARD TO

HIS SEVENTH DAY SABBATH COMMANDMENT!

REMEMBER, THIS IS HIS ANNIVERSARY DAY OF REST,

AND OUR DAY TO KEEP IN REST AND AS A SIGN BETWEEN

HIM AND THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL!

“Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.

And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made;

and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.

And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it:

because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.”

Genesis 2:1 – 3

“…the LORD hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth

you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place,

let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.”

Exodus 16:29

“…this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all the ways

that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you.

But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in the counsels

and in the imagination of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward.”

Jeremiah 7:23,24

“And say thou unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel;

Cursed be the man that obeyeth not the words of this covenant,

Which I commanded your fathers in the day that I brought them forth

out of the land of Egypt, from the iron furnace, saying, Obey my voice,

and do them, according to all which I command you: so shall ye be my people, and I will be your God:”

Jeremiah 11:3,4

As most of you know, I am a firm believer in living GOD’s Book of the Law, and that I strongly stress observance of GOD’s Holy Seventh Day Sabbath that HE proclaimed a “SIGN” between HIM and HIS Chosen People, Israel. To strengthen the great significance of GOD’s Hallowed Seventh Day, HE used this Day of REST to prove HIS People, the Israelites, to see if they would walk in HIS LAW, or no (Exodus 16:4).

It didn’t take GOD long to find out that HIS Chosen People HE had JUST DELIVERED out of Egyptian bondage by HIS Mighty Hand before their very eyes, did not FEAR HIM to be OBEDIENT to HIS COMMANDMENT of the Holy Seventh Day of Rest. The Holy ONE of Israel made no comment when the Israelites left the Manna “til the morning and it bred worms and stank.” But, it was Moses who “was wroth with them.” However, when some of the Children of Israel went out on the Seventh Day Sabbath to gather Manna, this, without a doubt, deeply upset the Holy ONE of Israel.

“And it came to pass, that there went out some of the people on the seventh day for to gather, and they found none. And the LORD said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws?” Exodus 16:27,28

The Israelites had failed their test! It is obvious that the Holy ONE DID NOT want the Israelites leaving their places on HIS Holy Seventh Day of COMPLETE REST (Shabbatone in Hebrew). And for some of us, if this is not understood, then Exodus 16:29 makes GOD’s COMMANDMENT perfectly clear without a shadow of a doubt.

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

The questions now become, Is the Holy ONE of Israel still proving us to see if we “will walk in HIS LAW, or no?” Is HE still using HIS Holy Sabbath Day as an indicator, and are we at liberty to violate GOD’s COMMANDMENT “to abide every man in his place on the Seventh Day”? Also, can we be expected to return to our heritage if we do violate this COMMANDMENT?

“Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they shewed difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.” Ezekiel 22:26

Perhaps at this point, I should make readers aware of the basis for this particular post.

Before the recent “KenesiYAH Conference” in Jackson, Tennessee held on November 12 – 14, a notice was circulated stating, “This Conference Stars YHWH King Of The Universe!!”

Because the Conference called for activities on GOD’s Holy Sabbath Day of Complete REST, I knew that most of the attendees, if not all, would be leaving their places (homes and hotel rooms) on the Seventh Day, November 13, to take part in whatever was being offered on GOD’s Holy Day. In my heart, I was immediately critical of this Conference for going against GOD’s COMMANDMENT to abide in our places on the Seventh Day of Rest. Also, knowing fully well that the GOD of Israel is against bearing burdens on HIS Holy Sabbath Day, I thought to challenge the promoter for circulating that “This Conference Stars YHWH King Of the Universe” - words that were clearly construed to draw a crowd but displeased YIHOVAH. And I wasn’t at all in agreement with charging a fee to attend the Conference, either.

However, I, for some reason, changed my mind about contacting the promoter. And in the interim, I learned that the Conference was a success and people had really gotten something out of this gathering. Then I thought to myself how wonderful it is for Israelites to Glory and PRAISE the Holy ONE and rejoice in revering ONLY HIM. I also thought that the GOD of Israel might have been truly pleased with the Conference and that perhaps HE had changed the WAY HE wants us to observe HIS Holy Seventh Day of REST. I told myself that perhaps we CAN indeed gather and teach on this Hallowed Day. Although I had these thoughts, I didn’t seek the Holy ONE for clarification on the matter. And I left it at that without considering putting this notion of gathering on the Sabbath to the test and without further thoughts about the issue until this past Friday, November 19, just a few days after the Conference ended when the Holy ONE of Israel gave me clarification on the matter.

On this Friday, while going about my daily readings, the Holy ONE showed me that we must keep HIS LAW, as it is written or face the consequences. And no matter how zealous and passionate we are about our concerns to worship Our GOD of Israel, and no matter how jubilant and how much Praise and admiration we bestow upon HIM in a Conference, in a parade, or in the privacy of our homes, we have got to remain bound and TRUE to HIS LAWS – ALL OF THEM - to remember to do and observe them, as HE has COMMANDED, for this Divine LAW IS OUR LIFE and is to be kept (as it is written) FOREVER!

“And he said unto them, Set your hearts unto all the words which I testify among you this day, which ye shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of this law. For it is not a vain thing for you; because it is your life: and through this thing ye shall prolong your days in the land, whither ye go over Jordan to possess it.” Deuteronomy 32:46,47

“Therefore thou shalt love the LORD thy God, and keep his charge, and his statutes, and his judgments, and his commandments, alway.” Deuteronomy 11:1

“These are the statutes and judgments, which ye shall observe to do in the land, which the LORD God of thy fathers giveth thee to possess it, all the days that ye live upon the earth.” Deuteronomy 12:1

“But the LORD, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great power and a stretched out arm, him shall ye fear, and him shall ye worship, and to him shall ye do sacrifice. And the statutes, and the ordinances, and the law, and the commandment, which he wrote for you, ye shall observe to do for evermore; and ye shall not fear other gods.” II Kings 17:36,37

The passage the Holy ONE showed me in Scripture that caused me to recall the November 12 – 13 KenesiYAH Conference and the activities held on GOD’s Holy Seventh Day of Rest entailed the relocation of GOD’s Ark. I did not search for this passage. This passage was brought to me…ALL PRAISES DUE TO THE HOLY ONE!

“And David and all Israel played before God with all their might, and with singing, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with cymbals, and with trumpets.” I Chronicles 13:8

Without a doubt, King David and ALL Israel played before GOD WITH ALL THEIR MIGHT with SINGING, HARPS, PSALTERIES, TIMBRELS, CYMBOLS, and TRUMPETS. For sure the Israelites made a great tumultuous noise in sincere PRAISE of the Most High GOD of Israel. And indeed HE was taking notice!

I remember many years ago reading this passage for the very first time thinking about how wonderful it was for Israel to Praise GOD and how pleased HE must have been seeing HIS People exalting HIM with such joyfulness and fervor. But at that time, as I continued reading the chapter, something happened in the passage that I’m sure has caused Israelites and the Stranger alike to wonder why this GOD of Israel would so severely punish a man, during this moment of exultation and joy of HIM, for putting forth his hand to steady HIS Ark. I read on with great sorrow for Uzza, seeking a valid reason for his death.

“And when they came unto the threshingfloor of Chidon, Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled. And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzza, and he smote him, because he put his hand to the ark: and there he died before God.” I Chronicles 13:9,10

The valid reason was and still is KEEP GOD’s LAWS for HE will not forgo punishment if we don’t. For me, this passage was a tremendous wakeup call that made me realize that no matter what…we, Israelites, must take heed to obey all GOD’s COMMANDMENTS, as they are written. And when in doubt, leave the issue alone!

The Conference of November 12 – 14, I’m sure was well organized with the Holy ONE in mind to draw as many people as possible and to make as much money as possible. But given GOD’s LAW of the Holy Sabbath Day to “abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the Seventh Day,” has GOD given HIS consent and endorsed leaving our places, driving cars, teaching, and holding a Sabbath Service on this Seventh Day of Complete REST? Now, since reading the passage about Uzza, I know for sure, the Holy ONE of Israel has not changed HIS LAW of the Sabbath. It is yet valid, and we are bound to it, as well as to ALL of GOD’s LAWS. And like Nehemiah, I remind everyone of how our forefathers profaned GOD’s Holy Day of REST even after having just returned to the land out of Babylonian captivity.

“Did not your fathers thus, and did not our God bring all this evil upon us, and upon this city? yet ye bring more wrath upon Israel by profaning the sabbath.”

Nehemiah 13:18

If we are specifically advised to keep GOD’s Sabbath or be punished with death, that our servants, oxen, asses, and cattle are also supposed to rest, as well, and COMMANDED NOT to bear burdens on the Holy Seventh Day of Rest, then we have no business scheduling activities on this Holy Shabbatone (Sabbath of Complete REST Day). If the Holy ONE wanted us assembling on HIS Holy Seventh Day of Rest, then HE would not have COMMANDED us to abide in our places on this Day of REST!!! Surely that makes a lot of sense, right?

“But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.” Exodus 20:10,11

“Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the LORD that doth sanctify you. Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people. Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.” Exodus 31:13 - 15

“Six days thou shalt labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thine ox, nor thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates; that thy manservant and thy maidservant may rest as well as thou.” Deuteronomy 5:13,14

“And it came to pass, that when the gates of Jerusalem began to be dark before the sabbath, I commanded that the gates should be shut, and charged that they should not be opened till after the sabbath: and some of my servants set I at the gates, that there should no burden be brought in on the sabbath day.”

Nehemiah 13:19

“Thus saith the LORD; Take heed to yourselves, and bear no burden on the sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem; Neither carry forth a burden out of your houses on the sabbath day, neither do ye any work, but hallow ye the sabbath day, as I commanded your fathers. But they obeyed not, neither inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, nor receive instruction. And it shall come to pass, if ye diligently hearken unto me, saith the LORD, to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the sabbath day, but hallow the sabbath day, to do no work therein; Then shall there enter into the gates of this city kings and princes sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they, and their princes, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and this city shall remain for ever.” Jeremiah 17:21 – 25

“But if ye will not hearken unto me to hallow the sabbath day, and not to bear a burden, even entering in at the gates of Jerusalem on the sabbath day; then will I kindle a fire in the gates thereof, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched.” Jeremiah 17:27

Although there is nothing written above about picking up sticks on the Holy Sabbath Day of REST, GOD condemned a man to death for this act (Numbers 15:32-35). Doesn’t this sentence of death expound upon the great importance of observing this Holy Day, as it is written and not according to what we feel is acceptable? Of course it does! GOD is as serious as a heart attack about our KEEPING HIS Holy Seventh Day of COMPLETE REST and about JUDGING us if we profane it. Other than picking up sticks on GOD’s Holy Seventh Day of REST, what else might we do to cause Our GOD of Israel to be angry and “smite” or condemn us to death as HE did with Uzza and the man who was found picking up sticks on HIS Holy Seventh Day Sabbath? What about CARRYING all the books, charts, video equipment, teaching aids, and other paraphernalia we need for instruction and for the operation of the Conference? Who are we fooling? All of us are aware of what it entails to organize and hold a Conference. It takes a lot of WORK, as well as a lot of energy to sustain each day’s agenda, and I am only making reference to the activities that are scheduled on GOD’s Holy Seventh Day Sabbath.

What about the hot meals served at the hotels or at the meeting place on the Holy Seventh Day when we are COMMANDED to prepare on the Sixth Day the food to be eaten on the Seventh Day of REST? What about burdening someone to bear even sandwiches and beverages to drink if food is served at the meeting place? What about getting from the hotel to the meeting place? What about driving or being driven to the meeting place? Think about all the work that transpires on a three-day Conference that includes GOD’s Holy Day of COMPLETE REST.

And when we involve ourselves in all these transactions, we say, “This Conference Stars YHWH King Of The Universe.” I don’t think so! As a matter of fact, I know what “Thus Saith the LORD,” and I know better! According to HIS WORD, HE is not pleased and no more pleased with us than HE was with Uzza, King David, and the others. I also know that Our GOD is not pleased with our charging a fee to hear HIS WORD.

“The heads thereof judge for reward, and the priests thereof teach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money: yet will they lean upon the LORD, and say, Is not the LORD among us? none evil can come upon us.” Micah 3:11

I see nothing wrong with Israelites devising ways to raise money, but given the above verse, we should keep GOD’s Ways out of such plans, i.e., don’t make money off of the WORD of GOD. By all means, create jobs, have dances, parties, sell dinners, plan spring, summer, and winter attractions, and keep them above suspicion, but don’t include a fee if at all GOD’s WORD is involved. Let us be about following GOD’s Counsel and not that of our own. And I can’t stress enough that it does not entail charging and paying money to hear HIS Truth. When our hearts are right, Our GOD prospers our way. When our hearts are NOT right, there is no peace to the wicked.

When GOD did not pardon what Uzza did while King David and the Israelites were rejoicing before the Holy ONE giving HIM Praise and Glory, then what imaginations of our hearts think we can be pardoned for breaking GOD’s Law of the Seventh Day when HE distinctly COMMANDED us to “ABIDE YE EVERY MAN IN HIS PLACE, LET NO MAN GO OUT OF HIS PLACE ON THE SEVENTH DAY”? Is this not a COMMANDMENT? If you agree that it is, then how can we justify leaving our places on this Holy Seventh Day of REST to participate in any kind of service - Conference, Unity Shabbot or other? The GOD of Israel does not change, and HE is not going to change HIS Law of the Holy Seventh Day that dates back to the end of HIS CREATION.

“Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.” Genesis 2:1 – 3

“Thou camest down also upon mount Sinai, and spakest with them from heaven, and gavest them right judgments, and true laws, good statutes and commandments: And madest known unto them thy holy sabbath, and commandedst them precepts, statutes, and laws, by the hand of Moses thy servant:” Nehemiah 9:13,14

GOD’s Holy Seventh Day is an anniversary in remembrance of the Six Days it took HIM to CREATE the Heavens and the Earth and all things therein. Therefore, regardless of how much we invest in this day being of spiritual significance in Conferences or other affairs to show forth HIS Praise, we are so wrong to do so. And it’s simply because Our GOD wants us in our places on HIS Holy Seventh Day Sabbath. By the way, if the Conference is on a weekend, there is nothing wrong with staying in our hotel rooms when the Sabbath begins and until it’s over.

After GOD COMMANDED us to abide in our places on HIS Holy Seventh Day, as we know, a man thought it was all right to gather sticks. Today many Israelites feel it’s quite all right to drive cars and use other means of transportation to ASSEMBLE and give Praise and Thanksgiving to Our GOD on HIS Holy Seventh Day, but when we do, we are ever so wrong. Actually, we are dead wrong!

GOD’s LAWS, COMMANDMENTS, and HIS WORD to HIS Prophets speak volumes, and unless GOD stipulated changes, there are no exceptions to HIS Ordinances. Throughout the “Old Testament,” we find that GOD sent HIS Prophets and instructed them to rise up early to go to the Israelites to urge them to return back to the LAW that HE gave to HIS Prophet Moses. I only reiterate that which has already been COMMANDED of us. And we can either accept GOD’s LAWS or contrive justification to circumvent them. If we are in agreement to accept GOD’s LAWS, then we cannot dismiss the LAW to abide in our places on GOD’s Holy Seventh Day of REST. It’s just that simple. Throughout GOD’s WORD, we learn that we must follow GOD’s LAW or face repercussions.

“But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it. See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil; In that I command thee this day to love the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it.” Deuteronomy 30:14 - 16

“Yet they obeyed not, nor inclined their ear, but walked every one in the imagination of their evil heart: therefore I will bring upon them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do; but they did them not.” Jeremiah 11:8

Let us not forget that OBEDIENCE to GOD’s LAW should be our highest priority IF it is our intention to return back to our heritage (Deuteronomy 30:1-3 and I Samuel 15:19).

“Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself. Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine: And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.” Exodus 19:4 – 6

“But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul. When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, even in the latter days, if thou turn to the LORD thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice; (For the LORD thy God is a merciful God;) he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them.” Deuteronomy 4:29 – 31

“And Moses and the priests the Levites spake unto all Israel, saying, Take heed, and hearken, O Israel; this day thou art become the people of the LORD thy God. Thou shalt therefore obey the voice of the LORD thy God, and do his commandments and his statutes, which I command thee this day.” Deuteronomy 27:9,10

“If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name, THE LORD THY GOD; Then the LORD will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and sore sicknesses, and of long continuance. Moreover he will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt, which thou wast afraid of; and they shall cleave unto thee. Also every sickness, and every plague, which is not written in the book of this law, them will the LORD bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed.” Deuteronomy 28:58 – 61

“And thou shalt return and obey the voice of the LORD, and do all his commandments which I command thee this day. And the LORD thy God will make thee plenteous in every work of thine hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy land, for good: for the LORD will again rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers: If thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law, and if thou turn unto the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul.” Deuteronomy 30:8 – 10

“Who among you will give ear to this? who will hearken and hear for the time to come? Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the robbers? did not the LORD, he against whom we have sinned? for they would not walk in his ways, neither were they obedient unto his law.” Isaiah 42:23,24

Thus, I urge everyone to consider ALL GOD’s COMMANDMENTS, especially in regard to holding Conferences, teaching, and doing any other activities on GOD’s Holy Seventh Day of REST since we are supposed to abide in our places on this Holy Seventh Day. NO ONE is in favor of coming together to sing and give Praise to the Holy ONE of Israel, Our GOD and SAVIOR, more than myself – NO ONE! But I would make arrangements for such an occasion to be held on any day but GOD’s Seventh Day of REST! And we have six other days from which to choose for assembling and gathering for Spiritual Reunions.

Enough of seeking the imaginations of our hearts and devising new means and ways to divine and worship Our GOD of Israel. The GOD of Israel has already established how HE wants us to serve and worship HIM: according to HIS LAW and with our whole heart and soul and in Righteousness. Therefore, seek GOD’s Counsel and abide by HIS Ways that HE left written for us to follow. If revelations and the imaginations of our hearts that we embark upon are not in accord with Isaiah 8:20, then these teachings, persuasions, endeavors, events, and doings are not encouraged by Our GOD of Israel.

“To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.” Isaiah 8:20

We must not ever forget that although we are GOD’s Chosen People, “LIFE” is not about the Children of Israel. The ideal “LIFE” (style) is about keeping GOD’s Laws, Statutes, and Judgments and, in doing so, enjoying peace, happiness, and prosperity in our heritage with Our GOD in our midst! This “LIFE,” per se, is the panacea, the Divine Utopia that all peoples upon this Earth should seek for keeping GOD’s Ways of Righteousness and serving and worshipping HIM is with great rewards.

Like many of us, I seek to return to our heritage, and it will only happen when we decide to be OBEDIENT to GOD’s LAWS that HE gave to HIS Prophet Moses for us to live and do. So eager we are to be accepted, recognized, and joined with others, but is this what matters? We must be extremely cautious in all that we do. Praise is comely only for the upright. We can have a thousand with us, but if the Holy ONE of Israel is not with us, then, let’s face it, we are lost!

“The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul:

the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.

The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart:

the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.

The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever:

the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.

More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold:

sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.

Moreover by them is thy servant warned:

and in keeping of them there is great reward.”

Psalm 19:7 - 11

FEAR AND GLORY YIHOVAH AND HONOR AND KEEP ALL HIS COMMANDMENTS, LAWS, STATUTES, AND JUDGMENTS!

IT IS IN VAIN TO SEEK PROSPERITY AND RELIEF IN THIS CAPTIVITY!

Our afflictions result from the curses Our GOD put upon us, and nothing we do will alleviate this misery in America. And sooner than later, we will all come to know this truth. The death, sickness, suffering, and despair among us is too great for us to bear. Thus, it is incumbent upon us to get Our GOD’s attention to hear our supplications and change the times, in order that we will return to HIM and to our heritage and live according to HIS Ways of Righteousness. No one lives for the True and Living GOD. No one is in Jerusalem professing HIS Holy Name and Exalting HIM. And no one is making the sacrifices and offerings HE loves. IF things are to change, then we must start the process. After all, we were formed to show forth GOD’s Praise BUT in the land where HE has ordained Israelites to serve HIM (Ezekiel 20:40,41), and the United States has nothing to do with it! In America, Our GOD won’t let us forget that we were exiled to serve our enemies in their lands for our great sins against Our Loving GOD that gave us everything and more than that. When will we wake up to realize the power of our actions. Our love for our GOD and HIS LAW got us in the land flowing with milk and honey, and our transgressions against HIM got us enslaved under ruthless Gentiles. BUT if we use our energies to live according to GOD’s Book of the Law and appeal to ONLY HIM for Deliverance, rather than succumb to life in Gentile lands, then we can expect, through GOD’s Blessings, a dramatic change in our lives.

“HIS Hand is stretched out still,” and it’s up to us to determine our destiny. The “Dry Bones” CAN live but only if they will turn to the Holy ONE of Israel and live by HIS Book of the Law, as it is written.

“Therefore is the anger of the LORD kindled against his people,

and he hath stretched forth his hand against them, and hath smitten them:

and the hills did tremble, and their carcases were torn in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

And he will lift up an ensign to the nations from far, and will hiss unto them

from the end of the earth: and, behold, they shall come with speed swiftly:”

Isaiah 5:25,26

“Be ye therefore very courageous to keep and to do all that is

written in the book of the law of Moses, that ye turn not aside

therefrom to the right hand or to the left;

“That ye come not among these nations, these that remain among you;

neither make mention of the name of their gods, nor cause to swear by them, neither serve them, nor bow yourselves unto them:

“But cleave unto the LORD your God, as ye have done unto this day.”

Joshua 23:6 - 8

“And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee.”

Exodus 15:26

A MESSAGE TO ALL MESSIANICS:

WAIT ON THE LORD GOD OF ISRAEL

MAKE HIM YOUR

LORD AND SAVIOR - NOT “MAN.”

(Psalm 25:4,5)

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

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

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

Deuteronomy 8:19

“Whom have I in heaven but thee?

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

Psalm 73:25

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

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

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

Psalm 40:5

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

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

I Kings 9:6,7

THEREFORE, FOR WHAT REASON

DO WE NEED jc OR ANY ONE ELSE

BUT YIHOVAH,

THE ALL-MIGHTY GOD OF ISRAEL?!

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

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

“That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.” Deuteronomy 30:20

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

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

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

AGAIN AND AGAIN, I ASK:

FOR WHAT REASON DO WE NEED jc

OR ANY ONE ELSE

BUT YIHOVAH

OUR ONLY GOD AND SAVIOR?

“And now, Israel, what doth the LORD thy God require of thee, but to fear the LORD thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the LORD thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul,

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

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

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

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

O God, who is like unto thee!”

THE LORD OUR GOD THAT SAVED ISRAEL OUT OF EGYPT?

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

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

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

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

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

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

FOR WHAT REASON DO WE NEED jc OR ANY ONE ELSE

BUT YIHOVAH?

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

WE DO NOT NEED jc!!!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.

“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shal make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.” Joshua 1:7,8

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

“Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.” Isaiah 43:10

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

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

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

“Thus shall ye say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens.” Jeremiah 10:10,11

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

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

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

WE NEED THE SAME GOD THAT SAVED THE NATION OF ISRAEL

OUT OF EGYPT

TO ONCE AGAIN

DELIVER US OUT OF OUR ENEMIES’ LANDS!!!

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

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

saith the LORD.

“And also I have withholden the rain from you,

when there were yet three months to the harvest:

and I caused it to rain upon one city,

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

and the piece whereupon it rained not withered.

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

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

saith the LORD.

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

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

saith the LORD.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Amos 4:6 – 11

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

Seek ye me, and ye shall live

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

Amos 5:4,6

“The Lord GOD hath sworn by his holiness, that, lo, the days shall come upon you, that he will take you away with hooks, and your posterity with fishhooks.”

Amos 4:2

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

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

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

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

Amos 5:2,16,27

(See also Jeremiah 30:13)

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

WE DO NOT NEED jc!

WE NEED THE GOD OF ABRAHAM!

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

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

that I gave unto their fathers.”

Jeremiah 16:14,15

“Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name: bring an offering,

and come before him: worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.

FEAR BEFORE HIM ALL THE EARTH…”

I Chronicles 16:29,30

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

O TASTE AND SEE THAT THE LORD IS GOOD

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

Tziona Yisrael,

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

P.S.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Psalm 96:12,13

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

The WISE will understand!

FEAR AND GLORY YIHOVAH ALWAYS!

P.P.S.

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

“When thy people Israel be smitten down before the enemy, because they have sinned against thee, and shall turn again to thee, and confess thy name, and pray, and make supplication unto thee in this house: Then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again unto the land which thou gavest unto their fathers.” I Kings 8:33,34

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

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

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

“Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.

“And I will wait upon the Lord, that hideth his face from the house of Jacob,

and I will look for him.”

Isaiah 8:16,17

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

“Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Let your hands be strong, ye that hear in these days these words by the mouth of the prophets, which were in the day that the foundation of the house of the LORD of hosts was laid, that the temple might be built.” Zechariah 8:9

AND LET US MAGNIFY HIS LAW, WHICH IS OUR ONLY TICKET INTO HIS KINGDOM, SO THAT ALL PEOPLES WILL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE AND WORSHIP KNOW THE MOST HIGH GOD OF ABRAHAM AND MOSES AND TO SERVE AND WORSHIP HIM ACCORDING TO HIS WORD AND HIS WILL!

Poetry and Prose Corner With A Message:

GOD OF ISRAEL,

BE EXALTED BEFORE YOUR UNIVERSE!

The Beginning was beautiful but mankind gave it a bad start,

YOU Created it perfectly, indeed, it was and still is a work of art.

The sun and moon YOU powerfully made do exactly as YOU please,

Sitting in the Heavens providing a sign for numbering our days with ease.

That’s not all YOU did that gives reason for your worship,

YOU gave to the man YOU Created your Earth and personal scrip.

To inhabit, to control, and to live and prove your infinite POWER,

In enjoying life in your CREATON with YOU as our Counselor.

For so many reasons YOU deserve to be Praised,

YOU alone, Father of Abraham, for giving us these days.

It has taken a long while for us to realize what all we possess,

YOU, the ONE CREATOR GOD of this Universe, nonetheless.

We used YOU, LORD, to obtain the Land of Milk and Honey,

To secure the region and gain all the wealth and money.

GOD of Israel, we denied YOU the true right to be Exalted,

For your CREATIONS and RIGHTEOUSNESS YOU are attributed.

If it were not for YOU, GOD of Jacob, we would not even exist,

We would not be your Chosen, your devoted Hebraists.

But we lied and connived and used your Holy Name,

To reap ever so many benefits in sin and to our shame.

Now, Father of Abraham, we seek your pardon,

For all our abominations we committed so wanton.

Take back your Universe and establish that Great Nation,

The Israelites who will revere and worship YOU without persuasion.

YOU are the CREATOR GOD, and YOU alone deserve all the Glory,

For your Wondrous Works, your Power, and your flurry.

Now, Father of Abraham, take back your Holy Land and your Holy City,

YOU made Jerusalem what it is in your Holy Name with credulity.

BE EXALTED, FATHER, and show the world the real facts,

That you are taking back your Universe and returning to your ACTS.

MY SPIRIT IN A WORLD OF SERPENTS

FATHER,

Forgive my boldness and pride for asking YOU, Why?

Why was life given with such abundance and then taken away? I am the work of YOUR hands, my only strength is..." to You I pray"

Why did you even create wickedness, when all I knew was good?  Commanding me not to eat from the Tree, always knowing someday, in someway I would.

Why did you put me in this world, where my Light is encouraged not to shine. 

Creating me in your image, but your power and strength I've yet to find.

Giving me a heart that’s so sensitive and True, always longing for knowledge, wisdom, and understanding of YOU,

But with a heart like mine, only judging from today, it is my spirit, in a world of Serpents, that has become the hunted prey.

You took a part of me and created someone for me, but even she has been seduced by the Serpents, she approaches me with a smile, plotting my destruction all the while, now my Sista, my Friend, my Bride, from her, my true self, I must hide.

Now YOU have banished me from Home, to drift throughout this cold, wicked world, all alone.

What did I do to deserve all of this?

I am sorry, Father, forgive my boldness and pride for even asking, Why?

Firstborn

FOR YOUR INFORMATION (FYI):

[Readers: Long ago, I tried many times to read the Book of Daniel for an understanding, and I always came up confused and with questions to which I never received answers. I concluded that this Book of Daniel is not credible and determined to search history for the views of Biblical Scholars. To my surprise, I was not alone, as many authors questioned this book, as well. And those authors who did not openly question it, simple gave the writing of this book a date pertinent to an era corroborated with evidence of when it was likely to have been written.

It should also be noted that in the “Old Testament,” GOD’s Angels have no names and when one was asked, in the case of Judges 13:17,18, the Angel replied that his name “is secret.” Under these circumstances, the Books of Daniel and the “New Testament” are suspect for in these books, the authors do not hesitate to give the “Angel” a name - “Gabriel.”

“Daniel: an Outline of the Dating Issues” and “The Dating of the Book of Daniel” are very interesting, and the information they provide deserves our scrutiny. I posted this article on thelawkeepersegroup some time ago, and now I am posting it again with hopes that its contents will be given the attention it deserves. I also urge further research on this Book of Daniel in an effort to prove whether 605 – 536 B.C.E. or 168 – 165 B.C.E. is accurate for its writing. T.Y., Editor]

***

DANIEL: AN OUTLINE OF THE DATING ISSUES, Continued…

Continued from the previous edition of The LawKeepers’ JOURNAL…

Third it does not seem to be consistent with the facts that the Babylonians are presented as actively persecuting the Jews and attempting to destroy their religion. In fact the Jews lived quite peacefully and had plenty of opportunity to practice their faith in exile in Babylon. The synagogue and the canonization of the Torah have their origins in Babylonian Judaism, as, of course, does the Babylonian Talmud.

Fourth the predictions given by Daniel in the form of the interpretation of dreams and visions are remarkably accurate up to a point. He predicts the rise of four kingdoms (2:31-45). These can readily be identified as the Babylonian, the Persian, the Greek and the divided Greek empire (after the death of Alexander the Great). He continues to tell the "future" with great accuracy. He tells of "a mighty king who shall arise and rule with great dominion" who can be recognized as Alexander (336 - 323 BCE, (11:3). He "predicts" the division of the Greek empire after Alexander's death and the wars between the Ptolemies who rule in Egypt (the "kings of the south") and the Seleucids who rule in Babylon (the "kings of the north"). These general prediction become much more detailed and specific when he predicts the conquest of the king of the south by a king of the north who "shall do as neither his fathers nor his father's fathers have done, scattering among them plunder, spoil, and goods" (11:24). (See also 7:7-10, 8:9-12). This king is "predicted" to cause the sacrifices of the Temple to cease (9:27)and to set up a "desolating sacrilege" in the Temple (12:11) This can be non other than Antiochus IV Epiphanes, the Seleucid ruler of Babylon who profaned the Jerusalem Temple in 167 BCE and set up a statue of Zeus with whom he identified himself. Unfortunately, after these remarkably accurate "predictions" Daniel goes awry at (11:40) when he predicts that this king will be attacked by the king of the south etc. This does not accord with any historical event.

Finally, and of considerable significance, is the fact that the Book of Daniel was never grouped with the Hebrew Nevi'im (the Prophets) but has always belonged to the Ketuvim (the writings). If the author had been accepted to be a sixth century Jew of the Exile his work would have pre-dated Ezra and Nehemiah and would certainly have been considered authoritative enough to group it with the other prophets.

What explanation could make sense of these inconsistencies? The most obvious conclusion would be that the Book of Daniel was written at the time of the profanation of the Temple by Antiochus IV, during the Maccabean revolt which that sacrilege provoked. That would explain why the author is not very precise about sixth century events, why he is so precise about the time of Antiochus, and why he was never counted among the prophets. What other evidence is there to support such a conclusion, apart from the fact that it answers our questions so neatly?

First, stories about Daniel had circulated before the time of Antiochus and had long been used to encourage faithful obedience to and observance of Jewish law. However, all the stories of the book of Daniel relate directly to the persecution under Antiochus: loyalty to the Jewish food laws and the refusal to worship images of other gods had become a question of life and death in Antiochus' crisis-ridden empire.

Second, the name Nebuchadnezzar contains a disguised reference to Antiochus to those acquainted with Hebrew numbering. The Babylonian king of 605 - 562 BCE was in fact called nabu-kuddurri-usur which should be transliterated into Hebrew script as NeuchadRezzar (as it is in eg. Jeremiah 46:2, 39:11). The change of that one letter gives this name the same numerical value in Hebrew (which had no separate numbers and so used letters to represent numbers) as the name Antiochus Epiphanes. This is too coincidental to be accidental and too contrived to be miraculous.

Thirdly, the whole genre of Apocalyptic literature which Daniel represents only developed during the period of crisis and persecution under Antiochus. The few examples of Apocalyptic in the Old Testament are all late, and the popularity of Apocalyptic in the New Testament is indication that it was a relatively new and popular literary form around the time of J…s.

DATING DANIEL

See also:

• Dating of Daniel: Outline of the Issues
• Darius the Mede and the Messing up of World Empires
• Whitcomb's Darius the Mede
• Did Biblical Scholar Bruce M. Metzger Endores an Early Date for Daniel?
• Greece and Babylon, Yamauchi - The Greek Words in Daniel

Dating Daniel to the Hellenistic period instead of the claimed time of Nebuchadrezzar of Babylon does not depend on assumptions about inspiration or the possibility or impossibility of divine prophecy. (Most of the following comes from Gerald A. Larue, Old Testament Life and Literature, Boston: Allyn and Bacon, 1968, p. 405f).

Knowledge of the Babylonian-Persion period as revealed in the book is vague, and on occasion, inaccurate. The opening verse (1:1) states that Jehoiakim surrendered Jerusalem to Nebuchadrezzar. (In Daniel, the Babylonian king's name is spelled Nebuchadnezzar, which is already an error.) Instead, Jehoiakim was already dead, according to 2 Kings 24:1-10, by the time the city was taken (2 Chronicles has a different order of events).

Belshazzar (Bel-shar-user) is identified as the son of Nebuchadrezzar and is called "king" (5:1), but his father was Nabonidus. Although Belshazzar was a regent, he never became king.

King Darius is called a Mede, the son of Xerxes (Ahasuerus), in Daniel 9:1, although we know that he was a Persian and the father of Xerxes.

As the story moves into the Greek period it becomes more accurate. Suppose we don't know whether the narratives of chapters 9 and 11 are divine prophecies written centuries in advance, or were written instead during or after the events. We still notice, however, that the accuracy of the correspondence to the hypothetically prophesied events drops off sharply at 9:27 and at 11:31. The writer knows of the desecration of Yahweh's altar by Antiochus IV in 168 BCE, but not of the restoration of worship by Judas Maccabeus three years later. Either the divine foresight loses focus between 168 and 165, or that is when the book was actually written.

The presence of Persian and Greek loan-words (especially the Greek names of Greek musical instruments in Dan.3) lends support to the Hellenistic dating, i.e., later than Nebuchadrezzar.

Considering the evidence, scholars say Daniel clearly belongs to the time of Antiochus IV.

Curiously, apologists have referred to the presence of Daniel in the Septuagint (LXX) as proof that the book must have been written prior to its legendary translation at Alexandria circa 285 BCE. However, we really don't know if a large translation effort took place at that time, and if so, what books were involved.

We only have evidence for the books of the Septuagint of a much later period, in which it includes the Apocrypha. The Daniel of the LXX includes stories not preserved in our Hebrew versions; Bel and the Dragon, and the story of Susanna. These stories include puns that depend on Greek words. This was noticed by Jerome and others, that these sections could not have been written by "Daniel" in the time of Nebuchadrezzar. (Metzger, Introduction to The Apocrypha, p. 9). However, either a larger Daniel was copied from Greek to Hebrew with the stories deleted, or the Greek sections of Daniel were added to a translation of Hebrew, at a later date.

In either case, the Septuagint cannot be used to prove the existence of a Hebrew Daniel prior to 285 BCE.

RUSSIA WARNS US OVER MISSILE SYSTEM

Tuesday 17 October 2006

Russia has criticised the proposed deployment in Europe of a United States missile defence system near its borders.

Poland and the Czech Republic are being considered for the European base of a US anti-missile shield, although opposition to the plan is rising in both countries.

The US is also considering basing interceptor missiles and radar in Bulgaria, Hungary and Turkey.

A Russian general quoted by daily newspaper Izvestia said Moscow would view the deployment of US missiles in eastern and central Europe as a security threat and would take retaliatory measures.

Yevgeny Buzhinsky, the head of the Russian defence ministry's international military co-operation department, urged the US and its allies to refrain from unilateral action and negotiate with Moscow.

"Retaliatory measures"

"The deployment of missile defence near the Russian borders could pose a real threat to our deterrent forces," Buzhinsky said in the article.

"We would view that as an unfriendly gesture on behalf of the United States, some eastern European nations and Nato as a whole. Such actions would require taking adequate retaliatory measures of military and political character," Buzhinsky said.

The European site would be the first expansion outside the United States of an unproven missile defence system aimed at repelling any limited long-range missile attack from North Korea or the Middle East.

Buzhinsky would not elaborate on how Russia would respond to any deployment, but warned  "a buildup of military potential near the Russian borders couldn't strengthen European security".

Interceptor missiles

"It's still not too late to analyse possible negative consequences of unilateral actions in the security sphere and try to avert them," Buzhinsky wrote in the article.

 "Advertising missile defence capabilities, the importance of these facilities for the United States and a strong public reaction that can be caused by their destruction would make these sites an attractive target for terror attacks," he said.

The US missile defence system employs radar to detect enemy missile launches and guide interceptors to their targets.

The command centre is based in the southwestern US state of Colorado, and interceptor missiles are located in Alaska and at Vandenberg air base in California.

General Henry Obering, the head of the US missile defence agency,  said last month that he expected to make recommendations in a matter of months on where to position the missiles and radars in Europe.

READING FOR THE SOUL…

FOR WHO IN THE HEAVEN

CAN BE COMPARED UNTO THE LORD?

“I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations. For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens.

I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant, Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations. Selah.

And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O LORD: thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints.

For who in the heaven can be compared unto the LORD? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the LORD? God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him. O LORD God of hosts, who is a strong LORD like unto thee? or to thy faithfulness round about thee?

Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them. Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; thou hast scattered thine enemies with thy strong arm. The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: as for the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them. The north and the south thou hast created them: Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name.

Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand. Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face.

Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O LORD, in the light of thy countenance. In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted. For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy favour our horn shall be exalted. For the LORD is our defence; and the Holy One of Israel is our king.

Then thou spakest in vision to thy holy one, and saidst, I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people. I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him: With whom my hand shall be established: mine arm also shall strengthen him. The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him. And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him. But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted. I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers. He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation. Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth. My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him. His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven. If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments; If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments; Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes. Nevertheless my loving kindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail. My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips. Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David. His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me. It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah.

But thou hast cast off and abhorred, thou hast been wroth with thine anointed. Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant: thou hast profaned his crown by casting it to the ground. Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast brought his strong holds to ruin. All that pass by the way spoil him: he is a reproach to his neighbours. Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries; thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice. Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword, and hast not made him to stand in the battle. Thou hast made his glory to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground. The days of his youth hast thou shortened: thou hast covered him with shame. Selah.

How long, LORD? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? shall thy wrath burn like fire? Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou made all men in vain? What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? Selah. Lord, where are thy former loving kindnesses, which thou swarest unto David in thy truth? Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants; how I do bear in my bosom the reproach of all the mighty people; Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O LORD; wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed.

Blessed be the LORD for evermore....” Psalm Eighty-ninth Chapter

SING UNTO THE LORD…DECLARE HIS GLORY

AMONG THE HEATHEN,

HIS WONDERS AMONG ALL PEOPLE

“O sing unto the LORD a new song: sing unto the LORD, all the earth. Sing unto the LORD, bless his name; shew forth his salvation from day to day.

Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all people. For the LORD is great, and greatly to be praised: he is to be feared above all gods. For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the LORD made the heavens. Honour and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

Give unto the LORD, O ye kindreds of the people, give unto the LORD glory and strength. Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come into his courts. O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth.

Say among the heathen that the LORD reigneth: the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the people righteously.

Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof. 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 Ninety-sixth Chapter

THE LORD HATH MADE KNOWN HIS SALVATION

HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS HATH HE

OPENLY SHEWED IN THE SIGHT

OF THE HEATHEN

“O sing unto the LORD a new song; for he hath done marvellous things: his right hand, and his holy arm, hath gotten him the victory. The LORD hath made known his salvation: his righteousness hath he openly shewed in the sight of the heathen.

He hath remembered his mercy and his truth toward the house of Israel: all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God. Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise.

Sing unto the LORD with the harp; with the harp, and the voice of a psalm. With trumpets and sound of cornet make a joyful noise before the LORD, the King.

Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. Let the floods clap their hands: let the hills be joyful together Before the LORD; for he cometh to judge the earth: with righteousness shall he judge the world, and the people with equity.” Psalm Ninety-eighth Chapter

PARENTS’ AND CHILDREN’S CORNER…

“Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old,

he will not depart from it.”

Proverbs 22:6

The works in this section of the JOURNAL are for our children. I am delighted to include them, as these activities will serve to enlighten our youth about the “Old Testament” GOD of Israel and HIS concern for HIS Ways of Righteousness and for HIS Love for HIS People. I encourage parents to read and interact with their children as they make efforts to answer the questions, complete the Word Search, and read the stories in this section. Now, monthly, we really do have appropriate literature and activities for our Hebrew Israelite children. In time, I shall add other things for them to do that will increase their knowledge and make learning fun.

Feel free to copy this section and staple it together in the form of a booklet. Take the time to design a cover page (even using Clip Art) and TYPE your child’s name at the bottom. Make the activities fun and challenging as you get involved with them.

“Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:

“And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart,

and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.

“And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:

“And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way,

and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.”

Deuteronomy 6:4 – 7

“The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever,

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

Deuteronomy 29:29

“Gather the people together, men, and women, and children, and thy stranger that is within thy gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear the LORD your God, and observe to do all the words of this law:

“And that their children, which have not known any thing,

may hear, and learn to fear the LORD your God, as long as ye live in the land

whither ye go over Jordan to possess it.”

“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

“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

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

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

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

on our solemn feast day.”

Psalm 81:1 – 3

“O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.

O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.”

Psalm 34:8,9

***

Words are written vertically and horizontally and some are truly challenging to find – maybe because some are written backwards or because some have two words and take on two directions.

Only a good “eye” will enable you to find all the words. For neatness and legibility, you might want to use a single line to cross out each word found rather than circling it, and consider giving each player a different colored pencil.

***

Parents, you might want to copy the “Word Search” and take turns with your children to complete this puzzle. And to make the fun even more exciting, play with a one-minute timer, as you search for each word. If players cannot find their words within the allotted time, then it’s the next player’s turn and the unfound words can be used by the next player(s).

Reward one point per word found. Let the youngest child start first. Each player selects his/her own word, or the words can be written on small pieces of paper and randomly pulled (with eyes closed) from a bag or hat. To encourage vocabulary development, for certain words give one extra point to the children who can define their words. Parents will determine which words are to be defined.

NOW, see who can rack up the most points!

ENJOY!

(By all means, do copy the puzzle and use the “Font Size” that suits your purpose.)

In the future, if Brothers and Sisters would like to create a “Word Search” of their own, I would be delighted to include it in the next JOURNAL. And even suggestions for a Word Search are always welcome.

HOW MUCH DO OUR CHILDREN KNOW

ABOUT THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL (THE CREATOR GOD OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC, AND JACOB),

THE HISTORY OF THE HEBREW ISRAELITES,

AND OUR RIGHTEOUS WAY OF LIFE?

“…God said moreover unto Moses,

Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The LORD God of your fathers,

the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob,

hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever,

and this is my memorial unto all generations.”

Exodus 3:15

This added portion to The LawKeepers JOURNAL is to enlighten our children and provide parental/child interaction with regard to important events in the “Old Testament.” It is my hope that these questions will provide the means for parents and children to study Scripture and enjoy quality time together.

***

THE QUESTIONS ARENA IS FOR CHILDREN AND PARENTS TO RESEARCH, REFLECT, AND DISCUSS (201 - 210):

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

201.

What is the name Scripture gives to “The Mountain of GOD”?

202.

What is the name the CREATOR told Moses HE is called?

203.

Why did GOD send Moses to Pharaoh?

204.

Who were the first people GOD told Moses to gather together of the Israelites and speak to them?

205.

What did GOD tell Moses to say to Pharaoh?

206.

Why didn’t GOD want Pharaoh to let the Israelites go right away?

207.

What did GOD tell them about their economic status upon leaving Egypt?

208.

What did GOD tell Moses to do for the First Sign with his rod in order to get the Israelites to believe that HE had appeared unto him?

209.

What did GOD tell Moses to do for a Second Sign with his hand?

210.

If the Israelites still would not believe Moses’ First and Second Signs, what next did GOD tell him to do?

***

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. BE SURE TO TAKE YOUR ANSWERS FROM THE SCRIPTURES WITHOUT IMAGINING THEM. Shuffle the cards, and from time to time go over the questions to see if you can recall the correct responses. Have fun with the questions, and challenge your friends and siblings to see how much they know about the “Old Testament.” By the way, the numbers of the questions need not always be in order.

***

“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge:

because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee,

that thou shalt be no priest to me:

seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.”

Hosea 4:6

CHILDREN’S SHORT STORY…

The following children’s story is suggested reading for children fifteen (15) years of age and up with their parents…

NATHAN’S VISIONS

Nathan sat in his room after studying for a physics exam wondering how his love for the subject could be an asset in GOD’s Kingdom and the building of HIS Holy Temple. His goal was to become a civil engineer, the best there ever was because he would design the roads and bridges in the land, especially those that would be slated and paved for Jerusalem, plus he had other concerns, also. Nathan thought about the Feast of Tabernacles that they had just observed. He knew that one day soon the entire Community would be able to worship the GOD of Israel in Jerusalem the way it’s supposed to be.

“How are all of us going to stay in Jerusalem for eight days?” he thought to himself. “And maybe somebody might want to be there from the First Day of the Seventh Month until the end of the Feast of Tabernacles – somebody like me, for example. Then, people will need booths and lots of them. Where will we build all the booths? We’ll need piping to supply water to and from the booths. I will need to design a system that could be attached to the booths, yes,” he thought rising from his desk.

Nathan left his room and went looking for his Ahbah. “Emah, where’s Ahbah?”

“He’s out back working on our gazebo,” she said excitedly hoping he would complete it within a week. “Why? Is something wrong, honey?” his Emah asked.

“Well, nothing’s wrong. I just have a small problem,” said Nathan.

“Maybe I can help. Try me. What’s the problem? Is everything all right in school?” she asked.

“School is great, Emah. The problem is designing a piping system for Jerusalem,” he told her.

“Oh, I can help you with…what? What did you say?” asked his Emah wondering what in the world he was talking about.

Smiling broadly, Nathan told his Emah, “It’s about how we’ll dwell in booths and have a clean and sanitary environment when all of us travel to Jerusalem for GOD’s appointed Feast Days.”

“Oh, I see,” said his Emah. “Well, actually, that’s a wonderful thought. What made you think about that, Nathan?”

“The Feast of Tabernacles,” said Nathan. “I’ll be right back, Emah, to tell you about it after I talk with Ahbah,” and out the backdoor he went.

Nathan found his Ahbah disassembling the booth for the Feast of Tabernacles. “Ahbah, you need some help?”

“No, son, I’m good. Are you done studying for your exam?” he asked.

“Yeah, Ahbah, and don’t worry. I’ll do well on it. I love physics,” he told his Ahbah. “You know that.”

Nathan helped his Ahbah carry the lumber to the floor he had built for the gazebo. And after they had finished stacking it all in one place, he said, “Ahbah, I want to talk to you about something.”

“Sure, son. What’s up?”

“What were your thoughts about the Feast of Tabernacles, Ahbah? Seeing how his Ahbah looked at him wondering why he would ask such a question when they had discussed the Holy Day extensively, Nathan quickly said, “I mean, I know what we talked about during the Holy Days. And I know what GOD’s Feasts mean to you. But, Ahbah, it means much more to me than what we discussed, and I hope you can understand what I am saying,” Nathan told his Ahbah.

“I understand, son. I think. But what are you really trying to say?”

“Ahbah, a few days ago I had a dream. I saw hundreds, maybe thousands of cattle and some calves. They were herded between two long fences that directed their path somewhere – where I don’t know. But, Ahbah, I saw this, and it can only have something to do with the times when we will worship and do sacrifice to our God of Israel in Jerusalem,” Nathan said.

“That’s some vision, son!” exclaimed his Ahbah.

“Yes, Ahbah, I know. Once I finish my senior year, I figure I can finish the university in three years. Afterwards, I should have all the training I need to be a top civil engineer,” Nathan told his Ahbah.

“Uh, son. You just asked me about the Feast of Tabernacles, told me about a dream you had of cattle, and worshipping our GOD in Jerusalem. What’s the connection with school? I think I missed something,” his Ahbah told him.

“I guess I should slow down, huh? That’s what my teacher says, anyway,” said Nathan smiling. What I’m trying to tell you is that I think it’s time for us to start thinking about redeveloping GOD’s Holy City, Jerusalem, about building HIS Holy Temple, and about exactly how we will all – Israelites and the Stranger – go to Jerusalem to worship HIM on the New Moons, Passover, the Feast of Weeks, and on the Feast of Tabernacles,” said Nathan.

“I see. But why did you ask me my thoughts on the Feast of Tabernacles?”

Maybe I should start again and explain myself. It’s great when we all come together on our Holy Days to sing and give thanks to the Holy ONE. And it’s great that our GOD has returned us home. But our GOD wants more, Ahbah, and so do I. We cannot serve HIM to please HIM until we can offer sacrifices to HIM. HE is most delighted when we are obediently and willingly serving HIM and offering sacrifices to HIM. This is part of what it means to be HIS Special People, aside from living HIS LAW in Righteousness. Ahbah, we are required to sacrifice unto HIM in HIS Holy City - Jerusalem – the city HE chose and where HIS Eyes and Heart shall be perpetually. That means the Holy ONE might have scattered us for our sins and abominations, but HIS Holy City, Jerusalem, has gone nowhere. It has only been defiled by different Gentile nations, but the land is before us, and GOD’s Promises still exist to be fulfilled when we are ready, and are yet there for our remembrance. Now, I want to make it more than just a remembrance. I want to worship our GOD in HIS Holy Temple and take HIM offerings of sacrifice, Ahbah. And our GOD has put it in our hearts to focus on HIS Holy City, a return to sacrifices, and what it means to HIM. Why else would I dream about all those hundreds of cattle?” said Nathan. Although many nations have controlled HIS Holy City, Jerusalem, Our GOD never let anyone change its name or the name of HIS Land – the Land of Israel – the Land of HIS Chosen People.”

“I hear you, son, and you make me so proud listening to you. And you make a lot of sense. But we must wait on the Priests. That’s the Law, Nathan,” his Ahbah told him.

“Ahbah, I know this, and I know the LAW and GOD’s WORD, well. Our GOD of Israel said, ‘Ye that have escaped the sword, go away, stand not still: remember the LORD afar off, and let Jerusalem come into your mind.’ Well, Jerusalem has come to my mind and has been on it for a very long time. Ahbah, we can plan for GOD’s Jerusalem, and then I know that HIS Priests will come and speak for themselves and for our GOD. Listen, Ahbah, our GOD said that after we return that HE would choose HIS own Priests. Understand me, please, Ahbah. I’m not saying to choose GOD’s Priests. They will know who they are and what they have to do. And the rest of Israel, like us, Ahbah, we will know what we must do because our GOD will put it all in our hearts, just as HE has put it in mine,” Nathan told his Ahbah.

“Well, you do have a point, son. King David could not build GOD’s Temple, but he was permitted to plan for it. So, I guess we can do the same for what all needs to be done. If our GOD guides us, as will be needed and welcomed, we won’t go wrong,” his Ahbah told him.

“Ahbah, it will all come together; you’ll see. When have Israelites made such plans to magnify our GOD in Righteousness and weren’t successful and prosperous in completing the task? And our GOD would not put the thought in our hearts if it were not time. Likewise, when HE made our identity known to us. Then it was time to start planning to go home. And now it’s time to plan on worshipping our GOD in Jerusalem,” said Nathan.

“Okay, Nathan, I got the message. I really cannot see any harm in planning for what needs to be done. Let’s just pray our GOD guides us because we’re going to need it,” his Ahbah told him. “And we will need to sit and write all this out, so that I can present this proposal before the Counsel. I doubt that they will reject your suggestion, but it makes sense to have a plan on paper first, and then put it before them. Surely you know that this is something we must do as a Nation and in Righteousness every step of the way, and more importantly with our GOD with us every step of the way. You see, a few people here are not inclined to rock the boat of the White ‘Jews,’ for when you talk about GOD’s Holy Temple, they feel it’s their job to fulfill since they are the ones in control of the land. And then, too, some Israelites might not support this proposal, as they are so satisfied here, their point, I’m sure, would be for us to just wait.”

“Ahbah, if we had waited in the States after learning our identity, we’d still be in the States waiting. But our GOD saw our hearts and prospered our way, and look now at all our blessings and our potential to excel. This plan will all work out. You’ll see,” said Nathan, relieved at least that he was able to get his Ahbah to understand that it was time to start making plans for a new Jerusalem. “Like our GOD said, Ahbah, ‘Let Jerusalem come into your mind,’ and I believe HE will do the rest. And since Jerusalem has come to mind, it’s got to be time, Ahbah. We have been slow to act for far too long. Now, we will magnify our GOD of Israel, and our works will cause the entire world to take note and see HIS Hand in our return and in our prosperity. Then others will seek to worship HIM, also. Our GOD would not have left HIS WORD for us, and we would not be in HIS Light if it were not time, Ahbah.”

“You have a point, son, and I am with you on this one,” he told Nathan.

“Another thing, Ahbah. We must all remember that our GOD of Israel didn’t help our forefathers who were down in Egypt until they cried after HIM. Keep in mind also that our GOD left HIS WORD that we could return once we returned to HIS LAW. This is what’s written and what has happened with us. We turned to the LAW, and given the desires in our hearts to return, our GOD of Israel heard our prayers and made a way. Well, now HE sees our desires to rebuild HIS Temple, so that we can have HIM once again in our midst, and HE will help us to do this, as well. HE is our GOD, Ahbah, and HE will make it happen,” said Nathan. “You’ll see. HE wants to be in our midst even more than we want HIM to be joined with us.”

“So, this is why you asked me about what I thought about the Feast of Tabernacles, huh?”

“Well, yes, kind of. We have beautiful and blessed Holy Days right here in Glead, and the Feast of Tabernacles is no exception. But, Ahbah, I could feel that something was lacking – not that something was wrong but just missing. Although we have done the best that we can under the circumstances, we still are not worshipping our GOD like HE wants until we serve and worship HIM in Jerusalem in HIS Holy Temple and eat before HIM on HIS Holy Days, as HE has required of us in HIS LAW. Therefore, Ahbah, now since we know that there is more that can be done, then we must make the effort to adhere to all GOD’s desires no matter if they seem impossible. Our GOD’s Hand is not shortened! And if it proves that these plans, once we put them on paper, are impossible to do, then we can continue as we are right here in Gilead. But I know that our GOD wants to return to HIS Place in Jerusalem, and that HE wants us there also, worshipping HIM in Righteousness,” said Nathan with confidence.

“Okay, Nathan, I see the whole picture now, and we can start planning immediately on exactly how we will draft this proposal on GOD’s Temple, Jerusalem, and of course, the streets and bridges of this Holy City, Brother Civil Engineer,” he said smiling and putting his arms around his son’s shoulders, as they headed for the house.

“Ahbah, there’s something else important to tell you, too,” said Nathan.

“You’re kidding, right?” asked his Ahbah stopping in his tracks.

“No, I am very, very serious,” said Nathan.

“Okay, let’s hear it, but I can’t imagine what else could be so important besides what I’ve already heard,” his Ahbah told him.

“The people going to Jerusalem to eat before the Holy ONE of Israel is what’s just as important, Ahbah,” said Nathan.

“You’ve got me there, son,” he said smiling. “So, what else have you got?”

“Ahbah, when Jerusalem is overrun during the Feast Days with Israelites and with peoples from other nations, we will all need places and booths to abide in. And for health reasons, these booths must have plumbing and a sewage system for hygiene. You see, we do not want people in need of baths going into the Temple. So, if there is some means of connecting fresh water to one end of the booths and a shower and toilet facility in another, every family will be all set for the Feasts that require overnight stays in Jerusalem. And get this; every booth will be complete with, not just running water, but also with a means to cook, as well,” said Nathan smiling. “I’ve thought of everything, Ahbah.”

“Yeah, I see. And I love it! I love it all! Your ideas are all great, son, especially the one about being able to bathe in the booths.

“All things will be greatly improved, Ahbah. We’ll have new roads, bridges, solar energy at its best, water ways around Jerusalem and the Temple to water the trees whose leaves our GOD will provide for meat and for medicine,” said Nathan.

“Whoa! Slow down, son. One thing at time, please!” his Ahbah exclaimed.

“Ahbah, I know I’ve hit you with a lot of my thoughts, but I just want you to know that once again Jerusalem will be the ‘Perfection of Beauty’ and the ‘Joy of the Whole Earth’ again for our GOD of Israel! You’ll see, Ahbah, because I live to make it all happen for HIS Praise and Glory. Yes, the world will come to know the meaning of the Scripture that states…

“For the LORD shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the LORD; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.”

“And, Ahbah, our GOD has chosen us to make it all happen for HIS Holy Name’s Sake. We will do what our forefathers would not. We will live and do GOD’s LAW in Righteousness and be a Glorious Light in magnifying HIM to the world. You hear that, Ahbah? We can do this,” said Nathan. “We are that Righteous Remnant that GOD has called, and this time, we won’t let him down!”

“Yes, son. We can do this, and we will. And the Feast of Tabernacles will become a time when the whole world will clamor to Jerusalem to exalt the ONE GOD of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and give glorious Thanksgiving to HIM in Truth in HIS Holy City, Jerusalem. Yes, son. It’s time for us to move to the next phase. And you know what?”

“What’s that, Ahbah?”

“Building this gazebo won’t be so challenging after all!”

Since starting to write Children’s stories for The LawKeepers JOURNAL, I have grown to love this task for they also Exalt Our Holy ONE of Israel, and they tell rose-colored stories in the process because, with GOD’s Blessings, we will indeed lead better and happier lives upon our return to our heritage. I believe this with all my heart! Then, we will enjoy the Righteous lifestyles that you read about in these stories and live in a tranquility, Peace, and Happiness that only the Holy ONE of Israel can bring to fruition. And accordingly, we will one day guard this utopia that will thrive in the LIGHT of GOD’s LAW, and we will eliminate those who threaten its existence. This won’t just be about FEARING the Holy ONE to follow HIS Ways, it will be about tasting a divine lifestyle and having it no other way.

CLOSING SCRIPTURE EXALTING THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL:

“Give unto the LORD, O ye kindreds of the people,

give unto the LORD glory and strength.

Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name: bring an offering,

and come into his courts.

O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth.

Say among the heathen that the LORD reigneth:

the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved:

he shall judge the people righteously.

Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar,

and the fulness thereof.

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 96:7 - 13

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

PAROLE NOTICE

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

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

LEAVE MESSAGE FOR CONGRESSMAN SENSENBRENNER AT:

1-800-242-1119 (FREE)

1-262-784-1111 (WISCONSIN)

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

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

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

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

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