"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.
I, even I, am the LORD;
and beside me there is no saviour.
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 43:10 – 12
"Fear
ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time,
and
have declared it?
ye are
even my witnesses.
Is
there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any."
Isaiah 44:8
"…Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day when
I chose
and
lifted up mine hand unto the seed of the house of Jacob,
and made myself known unto them in the
when I lifted up mine hand unto them, saying,
I am the LORD your God;
In the day that I lifted up mine hand unto
them, to bring them forth of the
flowing with milk and honey, which is the
glory of all lands:
Then said I unto
them,
Cast ye away every
man the abominations of his eyes,
and defile not
yourselves with the idols of
I am
the LORD your God."

Not everyone serves, worships, and bows down to
the CREATOR GOD of Israel as was and still is HIS intention. Why? The answer eludes me. How can anyone dismiss the fact that a
Supreme Existence established The BEGINNING of all this Creation: Heaven and Earth, the sun, moon, and
stars, land forms, water, fire, animals, mankind and not worship HIM! The Truth of the matter is that we must
worship this CREATOR, explicitly because no one else and nothing else has
replicated HIS Wonders or formed some anew. Under these circumstances, it would not
be wise to make anything but the CREATOR the ONE True and Living GOD and honor
the Ways, Paths, and Walks of Life that HE ordained. These Ways of Righteousness are the
CREATOR's "Old Paths" and HIS "Counsels of Old" that were
given to mankind in The BEGINNING. And
after The Flood they were given to GOD's Covenant People, the Nation of
"Hear this word that the LORD hath spoken… O
children of
"… who is there of all flesh, that hath heard
the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we have,
and lived?" Deuteronomy 5:26
"The
great temptations which thine eyes saw, and the signs, and the wonders, and
the mighty hand, and the stretched out arm, whereby the LORD thy God brought
thee out: so shall the LORD thy God do unto all the people of whom thou art
afraid." Deuteronomy 7:19
"O
LORD, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou
hast done wonderful things; thy counsels of old are faithfulness and
truth." Isaiah 25:1
"For what nation is there so great, who hath
God so nigh unto them, as the LORD our God is in all things
that we call upon him for? And what nation is there so
great, that hath statutes and judgments so righteous as all this law,
which I set before you this day?"
Deuteronomy
4:8
"Thus
saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths,
where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for
your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein." Jeremiah 6:16
HEAR, O
"The LORD shall establish thee an holy people unto
himself,
as he hath sworn unto thee,
if thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy
God,
and walk in his ways. And all people of the earth
shall see
that thou art called by the name of the LORD;
and they shall be afraid of thee."
Deuteronomy
28:9,10
We are all aware of the many different peoples
who call themselves "Jehovah's Witnesses". But are they the ones with whom the
CREATOR GOD of Israel made a Covenant, Chose for HIS Holy People, the ones who
were given the right to show forth HIS Praise and Represent HIM before the
peoples, nations, and tongues? Let
THUS SAITH THE LORD respond to this question.
Read and see that no other peoples can hope to
be called "Jehovah's Witnesses" but the Chosen Children of
"For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy
God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself,
above all people that are upon the face of the earth.
"But because the LORD loved you, and because he would keep the oath
which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the LORD brought you out with a
mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of
Pharaoh king of Egypt." Deuteronomy 7:6,8
"For ask
now of the days that are past, which were before thee, since the day that God
created man upon the earth, and ask from the one side of heaven unto the
other, whether there hath been any such thing as this great thing is,
or hath been heard like it? Did ever people hear the voice of God
speaking out of the midst of the fire, as thou hast heard, and live? Or hath God assayed to go and
take him a nation from the midst of another nation, by temptations, by
signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a mighty hand, and by a stretched out
arm, and by great terrors, according to all that the LORD your God did for you
in Egypt before your eyes? Unto
thee it was shewed, that thou mightest know that the LORD he is God; there
is none else beside him. Out of
heaven he made thee to hear his voice, that he might instruct thee: and upon
earth he shewed thee his great fire; and thou heardest his words out of the
midst of the fire. And because he
loved thy fathers, therefore he chose their seed after them, and brought thee
out in his sight with his mighty power out of Egypt;" Deuteronomy 4:32 – 37
"He sheweth his
word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel. He hath not dealt
so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they have not known them.
Praise ye the LORD." Psalm, 147:19,20
Indeed, we have a plethora of evidence that
proves ONLY the Children of
JEHOVAH's WITNESSESS
"And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I am
the LORD:
And I appeared unto
Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by
my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.

established my covenant with them,
to give them the
wherein they were

-
The CREATOR GOD made a Covenant with The Patriarchs – Abraham,
Isaac, Jacob/Israel, and their SEED and SEPARATED them from all other peoples
to be a "Special People unto HIMSELF".
"And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the
LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk
before me, and be thou perfect. And I will make my covenant between me and
thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly. And Abram fell on his face: and God
talked with him, saying, As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee,
and thou shalt be a father of many nations. Neither shall thy name any more be
called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have
I made thee. And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations
of thee, and kings shall come out of thee. And I will establish my covenant
between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an
everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee. And I
will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a
stranger, all the

covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee;
Every man child among you shall be circumcised. And ye shall circumcise the
flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and
you. And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every man
child in your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money
of any stranger, which is not of thy seed. He that is born in thy house,
and he that is bought with thy money, must needs be circumcised: and my
covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant. And the
uncircumcised man child whose flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, that
soul shall be cut off from his people; he hath broken my covenant."

in process of time, that the king of

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. And the covenant that I
have made with you ye shall not forget; neither shall ye fear other gods." II Kings 17:35 - 38

am married unto you: and I will take
you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to

The CREATOR loves HIS Covenant People so much that HE named HIMSELF the
GOD of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and said that this would be HIS Name FOREVER.

God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of

The CREATOR GOD Chose Jacob's SEED, The Twelve Tribes of Jacob of all
the peoples upon the face of the Earth.
"…thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God:
the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above
all people that are upon the face of the earth. The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose
you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the
fewest of all people: But because the LORD loved you, and because he
would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the LORD brought
you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from
the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt."

The CREATOR GOD sent the Nation of Israel HIS Servant Moses and had him
to go before Pharaoh and demonstrate miracles in the Name of the GOD of Israel.

Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large,

peace." Exodus 14:13.14

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

The CREATOR GOD of Israel led the Children of Israel by a cloud by day
and a fire by night.
"And they took their journey from Succoth, and
encamped in Etham, in the edge of the wilderness. And the LORD went before them
by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar
of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night: He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor
the pillar of fire by night, from before the people." Exodus 13:20 - 22
"Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and
the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle. And Moses was not able to
enter into the tent of the congregation, because the cloud abode thereon, and
the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle. And when the cloud was
taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of

The CREATOR GOD of Israel led the Children of Israel as they wandered in
the Wilderness forty years and showed them HIS Mighty Hand and Abundant Powers.
"I have led you forty years in the wilderness: your
clothes are not waxen old upon you, and thy shoe is not waxen old upon thy
foot. Ye have not eaten bread,
neither have ye drunk wine or strong drink: that ye might know that I am
the LORD your God." Deuteronomy 29:5,6
-
The CREATOR GOD of Israel fed HIS Chosen People Manna and brought water
from a rock to prove them to see whether they would keep HIS LAW or not.
"Then said the LORD unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for
you; and the people shall go out and
gather a certain rate every day…"
Exodus 16:4
"And when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon
the face of the wilderness there lay a small round thing, as
small as the hoar frost on the ground. And when the children of
"…thou in thy manifold mercies forsookest them not in
the wilderness: the pillar of the
cloud departed not from them by day, to lead them in the way; neither the
pillar of fire by night, to shew them light, and the way wherein they should
go. Thou gavest also thy good spirit to instruct them, and withheldest
not thy manna from their mouth, and gavest them water for their thirst." Nehemiah 9:19,20

The CREATOR GOD of Israel gave the Children of Israel HIS Laws,
Statutes, and Judgments for a Way of Life and Holy Days that they should
observe for HIS Praise, Glory, and Thanksgiving.

there: and I will give thee tables of stone, and a law, and commandments which
I have written; that thou mayest teach them." Exodus 24:12
"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
"And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the
children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the feasts of the
LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these
are my feasts. Six days shall
work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an holy
convocation; ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of
the LORD in all your dwellings. These are the feasts of the LORD,
even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons." Please See Leviticus 23rd
Chapter for a complete listing of
the Holy Days that the CREATOR GOD of Israel requires of the Children of Israel
to observe: The Holy Seventh Day
Sabbath of Complete REST, Passover, The Feast of Weeks, The Memorial of Blowing
of Trumpets, and The Feast of Tabernacles (Succoth – Dwelling in Booths).
"Keep therefore and do them; for this is
your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall
hear all these statutes, and say,
Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people. For what
nation is there so great, who hath God so nigh unto them,
as the LORD our God is in all things that we call upon him for?
And what nation is there so great, that hath statutes and judgments so
righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day? Only
take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things
which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of
thy life: but teach them thy sons, and thy sons' sons; Specially
the day that thou stoodest before the LORD thy God in Horeb, when the LORD said
unto me, Gather me the people together, and I will make them hear my words,
that they may learn to fear me all the days that they shall live upon the
earth, and that they may teach their children." Deuteronomy 4:7 – 10
"As for me, this is my covenant with them,
saith the LORD; My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have
put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of
thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the LORD, from
henceforth and for ever."
Isaiah 59:21
- It was the CREATOR GOD of Israel
that first gave HIS Covenant People the Ten Commandments.
"…the LORD spake
unto you out of the midst of the fire: ye heard the voice of the words, but saw
no similitude; only ye heard a voice. And he declared unto you
his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even ten
commandments; and he wrote them upon two tables of stone." Deuteronomy 4:12,13
"When I was gone up
into the mount to receive the tables of stone, even the tables of the
covenant which the LORD made with you, then I abode in the mount forty days and
forty nights, I neither did eat bread nor drink water: And the LORD
delivered unto me two tables of stone written with the finger of God; and on

assembly." Deuteronomy

Commandments.

tables of stone like unto the first, and come up unto me into the mount, and
make thee an ark of wood. And I will write on the tables the words that
were in the first tables which thou brakest, and thou shalt put them in the
ark. And I made an ark of shittim wood, and hewed two tables of
stone like unto the first, and went up into the mount, having the two tables in
mine hand. And he wrote on the tables, according to the first
writing, the ten commandments, which the LORD spake unto you in the mount
out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly: and the LORD gave them

"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.

your hand, and your vows, and your freewill offerings, and the firstlings of

existence of the True and Living GOD and that HE is GOD and that there is none
else.
"And Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number
of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, unto whom the word of the LORD came,
saying, Israel shall be thy name: And with the stones he built an altar in
the name of the LORD: and he made a trench about the altar, as great as would
contain two measures of seed. And
he put the wood in order, and cut the bullock in pieces, and laid him on
the wood, and said, Fill four barrels with water, and pour it on the
burnt sacrifice, and on the wood. And he said, Do it the second
time. And they did it the second time. And he said, Do it the
third time. And they did it the third time. And the water ran round about the
altar; and he filled the trench also with water. And it came to pass at the time of
the offering of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came
near, and said, LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known
this day that thou art God in Israel, and that I am thy
servant, and that I have done all these things at thy word. Hear me, O
LORD, hear me, that this people may know that thou art the LORD God, and
that thou hast turned their heart back again. Then the fire of the LORD
fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the
dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench. And when all
the people saw it, they fell on their faces: and they said, The LORD,
he is the God; the LORD, he is the God." I Kings 18th Chapter

"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
a land of darkness? wherefore say my people,
We are lords; we will come no more unto thee?
Can a maid forget her ornaments, or a bride
her attire?
yet my people have forgotten me days without number."

upon the high places,
weeping and
supplications of the children of

to vanity,
and they have caused them to stumble in their ways from
the ancient paths,
to walk in paths, in a way not cast up; To
make their land desolate,

rags; and we all do fade as a leaf;

that stirreth up himself to take hold of thee: for
thou hast hid thy face from us,
and hast consumed us, because of our iniquities."
Isaiah
64:6,7
At the height of the Children of Israel's
magnificence and stardom, they foolishly turned to false gods and rejected the
CREATOR GOD of Abraham and Moses and HIS Righteous Way of Life – HIS Book
of the Law. And the Holy ONE of Israel
surrendered HIS Chosen People, the SEED of Jacob into the hands of the worst of
the heathen, for as HE had said, if they turned from HIM that HE would spue
them from the Land.
"Ye shall therefore keep all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do
them: that the land, whither I bring you to dwell therein, spue you not out." Leviticus 20:22

things that were not right against the LORD their God, and they built them high places in all their cities,

and groves in every high hill, and under every green tree: And there
they burnt incense in all the high places, as did the heathen whom the
LORD carried away before them; and wrought wicked things to provoke the LORD to
anger: For they served idols, whereof the LORD had said unto them, Ye
shall not do this thing." II Kings 17:9 -

nation as this? A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land; The

people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?"

THE CREATOR GOD of Israel kept HIS Promise to punish HIS Chosen People
for their multitude of sins: lies, turning to false gods, rejecting HIS LAW,
Statutes, and Judgments, and for profaning HIS Holy Name.
"For both prophet and priest are profane; yea, in my
house have I found their wickedness, saith the LORD. Wherefore
their way shall be unto them as slippery ways in the darkness: they
shall be driven on, and fall therein: for I will bring evil upon them, even
the year of their visitation, saith the LORD. And I have seen folly in
the prophets of
"Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Hearken not unto the
words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a
vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the LORD.
"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." Jeremiah 23:16,20
"… the children of Israel had sinned against the LORD
their God, which had brought them up out of the land of Egypt, from under the
hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and had feared other gods, And walked in the
statutes of the heathen, whom the LORD cast out from before the children of
Israel, and of the kings of Israel, which they had made. And the
children of Israel did secretly those things that were not right
against the LORD their God, and they built them high places in all their
cities, from the tower of the watchmen to the fenced city. And they set
them up images and groves in every high hill, and under every green tree: And
there they burnt incense in all the high places, as did the heathen whom
the LORD carried away before them; and wrought wicked things to provoke the
LORD to anger: For they served idols, whereof the LORD had said unto
them, Ye shall not do this thing."
II Kings 17:7 - 12
"Yet the LORD testified against Israel, and against
Judah, by all the prophets, and by all the seers, saying, Turn ye from
your evil ways, and keep my commandments and my statutes, according to
all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by my
servants the prophets. Notwithstanding
they would not hear, but hardened their necks, like to the neck
of their fathers, that did not believe in the LORD their God. And they
rejected his statutes, and his covenant that he made with their fathers, and
his testimonies which he testified against them; and they followed vanity, and
became vain, and went after the heathen that were round about them, concerning
whom the LORD had charged them, that they should not do like them. And
they left all the commandments of the LORD their God, and made them molten
images, even two calves, and made a grove, and worshipped all the host
of heaven, and served Baal. And they caused their sons and their
daughters to pass through the fire, and used divination and enchantments, and
sold themselves to do evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to
anger." II Kings 17:13 – 17
"And the LORD rejected all the seed of
"Ye shall therefore keep all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do
them: that the land, whither I bring you to dwell therein, spue you not out." Leviticus 20:22
"Take heed unto yourselves, lest ye forget the
covenant of the LORD your God, which he made with you, and make you a graven
image, or the likeness of any thing, which the LORD thy God hath
forbidden thee. For the LORD thy God is a consuming fire, even a
jealous God. When thou shalt beget
children, and children's children, and ye shall have remained long in the land,
and shall corrupt yourselves, and make a graven image, or the
likeness of any thing, and shall do evil in the sight of the LORD thy
God, to provoke him to anger: I call heaven and earth to witness against
you this day, that ye shall soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto ye
go over Jordan to possess it; ye shall not prolong your days upon it,
but shall utterly be destroyed. And the LORD shall scatter you among the
nations, and ye shall be left few in number among the heathen, whither the LORD
shall lead you. And there ye shall serve gods, the work of men's hands,
wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell." Deuteronomy 4:23 - 28
"For they went and served other gods, and worshipped them,
gods whom they knew not, and whom he had not given unto them: And the
anger of the LORD was kindled against this land, to bring upon it all the
curses that are written in this book: And the LORD rooted them out of their
land in anger, and in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into
another land, as it is this day."
Deuteronomy 29:26 – 28
"But if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do
all these commandments; And if ye shall despise my statutes, or if your soul
abhor my judgments, so that ye will not do all my commandments, but that
ye break my covenant: I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over
you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and
cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies
shall eat it. And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be slain before
your enemies: they that hate you shall reign over you; and ye shall flee when
none pursueth you. And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me, then I
will punish you seven times more for your sins." Leviticus 26:14 – 18
"And I will destroy your high places, and cut down
your images, and cast your carcases upon the carcases of your idols, and my
soul shall abhor you. And I will make your cities waste, and bring your
sanctuaries unto desolation, and I will not smell the savour of your sweet
odours. And I will bring the land into desolation: and your enemies which dwell
therein shall be astonished at it. And I will scatter you among the heathen, and
will draw out a sword after you: and your land shall be desolate, and your
cities waste." Leviticus 26:30 - 33
"Make a chain: for the land is full of bloody crimes,
and the city is full of violence. 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. Destruction cometh; and they shall seek peace, and there
shall be none. Mischief shall come upon mischief, and rumour shall
be upon rumour; then shall they seek a vision of the prophet; but the law shall
perish from the priest, and counsel from the ancients." Ezekiel 7:23 – 26
"For the leaders of
this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are
destroyed. Therefore the Lord shall
have no joy in their young men, neither shall have mercy on their fatherless
and widows: for every one is an hypocrite and an evildoer, and every
mouth speaketh folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is
stretched out still."
Isaiah 9:16,17
"…they that
are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in your enemies' lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall
they pine away with them. If they shall confess their iniquity, and the
iniquity of their fathers, with their trespass which they trespassed against
me, and that also they have walked contrary unto me; And that I
also have walked contrary unto them, and have brought them into the land of
their enemies; if then their uncircumcised hearts be humbled, and they then
accept of the punishment of their iniquity: Then will I remember my
covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with
Abraham will I remember; and I will remember the land." Leviticus 26:39 – 42
"O fear the LORD, ye his saints:
for there is no want to them that fear him.
…they that seek the LORD shall not want any
good thing."
Psalm 34:9,10
THE "GOOD" FOR THOSE WHO RETURN

and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate."

Jeremiah 50:20
"Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous
man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon
him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
"Seek ye the LORD
while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my
mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I
please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. For ye shall go out with joy, and be
led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you
into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands." Isaiah 55:6,7,11,12

It was the CREATOR GOD of Israel that promised HIS People,
"I will bring again the captivity of my people of
"But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God,
thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all
thy soul. When thou art in
tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, even in the latter
days, if thou turn to the LORD thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice;
(For the LORD thy God is a merciful God;) he will not forsake thee,
neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware
unto them." Deuteronomy 4:29 - 31
"And 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:" Deuteronomy 30: 1- 4
"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
"The remnant shall return, even the remnant of
Jacob, unto the mighty God. For

"I will gather the
remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them, and will
bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase. And I
will set up shepherds over them which shall feed them: and they shall fear no
more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith the
LORD." Jeremiah
23:3,4
"…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

"Alas! for that day is great, so that none is
like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble; but he shall be saved
out of it. For it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of
hosts, that I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst
thy bonds, and strangers shall no more serve themselves of him: But they shall serve the LORD their
God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them. Therefore
fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, saith the LORD; neither be dismayed, O
"The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is
mighty; he will save, he will
rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee
with singing. I will gather them that are sorrowful for the
solemn assembly, who are of thee, to whom the reproach of it was
a burden. 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. At
that time will I bring you again, even in the time that I gather you:
for I will make you a name and a praise among all people of the earth, when I
turn back your captivity before your eyes, saith the LORD." Zephaniah 3:17 – 20
"O bless our God, ye people,
and make the voice of his praise to be heard:
Which holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our
feet to be moved.
For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us,
as silver is tried."
Psalm 66:5 – 10
We have much for which to be thankful and
humbled. We have the ONE True and Living GOD, and
Praise HIM and HIS Holy Name for choosing us, the SEED of Jacob, who have
Witnessed HIS Mighty Acts in making a Great and Awesome Name for HIMSELF. And we have an "Old Testament"
Book replete with information about HIS Book of the Law and HIS Prophets who
consistently disseminated HIS WORD for our wisdom, understanding, and
direction, and more importantly for our hope.
"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
"I will bless the LORD at all times:
his praise shall continually be in my
mouth.
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 34:1 – 3
"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:… saith the LORD. And ye shall be my people, and I will
be your God." Jeremiah 30:20 – 22,24
Of a Truth, we are the only ones who
can boast with conviction and GOD's testimony that we are "Jehovah's
Witnesses". Yes, I know; it is hard to fathom
knowing the CREATOR GOD, but we can when we read what THUS SAITH THE LORD. For of a Truth, HE chose us first for
HIS Covenant People and for HIS Praise.
Not only are we the genuine "Jehovah's Witnesses", but the
Land of Israel also stands Witness (PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME) to the SEED of Jacob
being GOD's Covenant People, to HIS Promises fulfilled, and continues to stand
Witness for GOD's future Promises for the Remnant of Israel at hand to return.
SEE AND BELIEVE…
"For the LORD will not cast off his people, neither
will he forsake his inheritance.
But judgment shall
return unto righteousness:
and all the upright
in heart shall follow it."
Psalm
94:14,15
Evidence of GOD's Power to cause our return is
already a reality. Israelites are already in
the Land. Granted some serve Ben
Ammi and some, outside of his Camp, believe in a Messiah. Also, I am a Witness to GOD's ability to
fulfill HIS WORD to cause the return of the SEED of Jacob. Not all will come to GOD's Rest, but
"The Remnant" that GOD will call will indeed tout HIS Book of the Law
before the Congregation and before the Gentile nations. Thus, we can see that GOD's WORD is True
and that it cannot fail. All that's
required is to have the desire to live according to GOD's Laws, Statutes, and
Judgments and have it in our hearts to return in Righteousness, and HE will
make a way. GOD's WORD in
Deuteronomy thirtieth chapter is real and proven. Therefore, given GOD's Judgment upon the
wicked, to seek a means to stay in the States is foolish, for Our GOD does not
lie, and HE does not change.
HE will be worshipped in the Place that HE has already chosen –
JERUSALEM – HIS Holy City that yet stands today as Witness to all HIS
Promises to HIS Covenant People, the Children of Israel who are at hand to
return.
