thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged. Hear therefore, O

A NOTE FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE LAWKEEPERS' CO.:
"I had concern for my holy name which the house of Israel profaned
among the nations where they had gone."
"It is not for your sake O house of Israel that I am going to do
these things, but for the sake of my holy name, which you have
profaned among the nations where you have gone."
"I will show the holiness of my great name, which has been profaned
among the nations the name you have profaned among them."
"Then the nations will know that I am YIHOVAH declares Sovereign
YIHOVAH when I show myself holy through you before their eyes."
Ezekiel 36:21-34 (NIV)
ALL PRAISES TO THE HOLY ONE OF YISRAEL.
Shalom Lekol Yisrael and supporters of the Lawkeepers,
The Prophet Ezekiel spoke of the time the God of Yisrael will "show
the holiness" of his great name and that such "holiness" he would
show "through" the nation of Yisrael.
Just as Yihovah made himself was known to the nations of old, He will
once again cause all peoples of this earth to know the Holiness and
Greatness of his Name "Yihovah."
As a merciful God, the above scriptures indicate that although we
profaned his Holy Name, that it is "for the sake" of his Holy Name
that we as Yisraelites have the opportunity to return wholly unto him
and be used in the showing of HIMSELF HOLY THOUGH US.
As Yisraelites called to show forth his praise in all the earth, this
is what each of us has been called to do.
Let us together meet this charge and come together as a people and
return to the land of our forefathers to offer up all praise to the
glory and sanctification of His Holy Name forever!
We are pleased to bring you our second newsletter to keep you abreast
of our activities and our efforts at returning to our land.
Feel free to forward to other interested brothers and sisters.
Shalom
Yehudah Benyamin Ben Yisrael, President

SOME QUESTIONS TO PONDER:
Why is it that all the "Old Testament" Angels sent by the
Most High GOD of Israel are without names, and "they" refused to
reveal them, with the exception of the Book of Daniel? But the
angels in the "New Testament" are provided names such as Michael and
Gabriel who are the same ones mentioned in Daniel?
How will the Exodus of this latter day differ from the one
out of Egypt?
Submit your responses, and they will be posted in the next issue of
The LawKeepers Newsletter.

HINTS FOR HARDY, HEALTHY HEBREWS:
BERRY, berry nice, indeed!
As we shop at the Supermarkets for fruits and vegetables, too often
we just pick the produce our parents or we have bought for years.
And there are some that we just do not ever buy. However, let's
consider the benefits of some berries that we might not have been
buying, as it might be worth our while to purchase them, too.
Many of us use berries in pastries, but let's consider eating them
fresh for their nutritional value. Berries are high in antioxidants
(free radical scavengers) and flavenoids (prevent the buildup of
plaque that clogs arteries).
Blackberries are the highest in antioxidants and vitamin C. Berries
are also high in fiber and good for battling constipation.
Strawberries are loaded with vitamins A and C with B-complex vitamins
and potassium, as well.
Blueberries are now known as the "new wonder berry" for all their
vitamins A and C content, manganese and their ability to fight
bacteria. They are also good for the eyes.
Raspberries contain vitamins C, A, and B-complex and are known to
cleanse the blood and purify the liver.
In that this is summertime, these berries are in abundance. Just a
word of caution: consider the fact that some people are allergic to
berries, but if you aren't, then eat, be healthy, and berry merry!

NEWS WE CAN USE:
BOOK:
The Wake of the Wind by J. California Cooper is a wonderful read to
remind us of the cruel plight of our forebears who were enslaved in
the United States and the period in time that follows the
"Emancipation Proclamation." I especially like this book because it
teaches Black Folks the importance of working together for
their betterment, how to be a "fambly" even to strangers, and how to
share be it your home, food, tools, or work. And above all it makes
readers realize the importance of being thankful to GOD while
provoking serious thought to scrutinizing the White Man's religion.
After the "Freeman" family left their Massa's plantation, they bought
their own land in the South and were proud and happy to be free and
have their own land. Mor, Mr. Mordecai Freeman, brought
tears to my eyes when he held the soil from his farmland and let it
fall through his fingers. He rejoiced at having his own land.
Reading about this caused me for the first time to think about just
how wonderful it will be to truly have our own soil falling through
our fingers, i.e., the land that YIHOVAH gave to our forefathers.
Our story will not end like this book, but rather it will
begin with our ushering in the Kingdom of YIHOVAH - this time in fear
of YIHOVAH and in Truth and in Righteousness!
*******
THOUGHT FOR TODAY AND FOREVER:
Let's trash the third Thursday in November which is set aside for
Thanksgiving (to whom or what, isn't quite clear).
Let's give total thanks to the Most High GOD of Abraham, Isaac, and
Jacob EVERY DAY for HIS Merciful kindness in not casting off the
Children of Israel forever for forsaking and sinning against HIM.
Let's give HIM the Praise and Glory HE deserves for opening our eyes
to HIS LAW that was provided for our betterment and wisdom. Let's
sanctify Our Great and Dreadful GOD and Exalt HIS Holy Name
for HIS Forgiveness and for yet choosing the Nation of Israel and
sustaining love and compassion for all who fear HIM to do HIS Will
and seek to follow HIS Paths of Righteousness. Let's vow ourselves
to the Holy ONE of Israel and HIS Law and bond with all people who
seek to follow HIM according to HIS Ways.
*******
THE GREATEST "SPOIL" OF ALL
Learn about the Reparations Mass Movement and how YOU can get
involved: Go to www.thelawkeepers.org and click on "Newsletter."
The Israelites received Reparations for their free labor when they
left out of Egypt (Exodus 12:35,36, Psalm 105:37). And it is
prophesied that we will again receive compensation for our free labor
and bondage in this modern-day Egypt:
"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
Please remember that YIHOVAH always gave the Nation of Israel the
spoil of those who did not serve HIM - even Jacob's father-in-law.
"And the man [Jacob] increased exceedingly, and had much cattle, and
maidservants, and menservants, and camels, and asses." Genesis 30:43
"Thus God hath taken away the cattle of your father, and given them
to me." Genesis 31:9
Other Scripture that STANDS TO REASON why we will also receive
Reparations from the Gentiles who took our forebears into captivity
at the time of the African Slave Trade follows:
"And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and
afterward shall they come out with great substance." Genesis 15:14
NOTE THAT ALL NATIONS THAT TOOK ISRAEL INTO BONDAGE ARE CONSIDERED
"EGYPT," AS WELL: "And the Lord shall bring thee into Egypt again
with ships..."
Deuteronomy 28:68 Hence, again we are due to leave out of lands that
held us captive with "great substance" or rather Reparations or
compensation for the atrocious crimes committed against us.
"And I will stretch out my hand, and smite Egypt with all my wonders
which I will do in the midst thereof: and after that he will let you
go.
"And I will give this people favor in the sight of the Egyptians: and
it shall come to pass, that, when ye go, ye shall not go empty:"
Exodus 3:20,21
"And the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and
they borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold,
and raiment:
"And the Lord gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so
that they lent unto them such things as they required. And they
spoiled the Egyptians." Exodus 12:35,36
Obviously, it pleased the GOD of Israel to take the spoil from those
Nations that served false gods and give these riches to HIS People
Israel.
"And he [Joshua] spake unto them, saying, Return with much riches
unto your tents, and with very much cattle, with silver, and with
gold, and with brass, and with iron, and with very much raiment:
divide the spoil of your enemies with your brethren." Joshua 22:8
And YIHOVAH will again do the same for the Righteous Remnant that HE
will call and ALL FOR HIS GLORY, I.E., THE GLORY OF THE MOST HIGH GOD
OF ISRAEL:
"For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor
perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, besides thee,
what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him." Isaiah 64:4
IT'S STRANGE HOW KING SOLOMON WAS SO AWARE OF OUR PREDICAMENT TODAY,
TO PRAY FOR THOSE OF US IN OUR ENEMIES' LANDS. ACTUALLY, THIS ONLY
PROVES THAT HE WAS INDEED QUITE WISE, RIGHT?
"And forgive thy people that have sinned against thee, and all their
transgressions wherein they have transgressed against thee, and give
them compassion before them who carried them captive, that they may
have compassion on them:" I Kings 8:50
There is no doubt that this "compassion" entails exactly what the
Israelites received down in Egypt, and that is their FREEDOM and the
"SPOIL." What else could this "compassion" require if not this?
With Our GOD, nothing has changed. HE yet remembers HIS Covenant
with Abraham, Isaac, and Israel. Only we need to change, as Our GOD
yet awaits our return to HIM to be obedient to HIS Law, so that HE
can fulfill all the good that HE has planned for us. Therefore, let
us acknowledge the iniquities of our forefathers and our great sins
against Our GOD and turn to HIM in Righteousness, so that we
will be worthy of HIS Blessings and Reparations.
If we are to take the spoil of this day and age, then YIHOVAH must
find our hearts eager to do HIS Will, ready to receive HIS Spirit
within us, prepared to show forth HIS Praise, and determined to usher
in HIS Kingdom in Righteousness. We have got to do it right this
time!!!
There is no time to waste. Our work is cut out for us, and it will
be an easy task if we just accept GOD's Truth and go about fulfilling
it for HIS Holy Name's Sake. Then we will see Reparations manifest
for the Righteous Remnant that GOD will call.
"Afterward shall the children of Israel return, and seek the Lord
their God, and David their king; and shall fear the Lord and his
goodness in the latter days." Hosea 3:5
"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
Let us be numbered among GOD's Righteous Saints, i.e., those who know
no god but the Holy ONE of Israel and who bear HIS Laws and Spirit in
our hearts.

CLOSING SCRIPTURE EXALTING THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL:
"...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 has confirmed to thyself thy people Israel to be a people
unto thee for ever: and thou, Lord, art become their God.
"...let thy name be magnified for ever, saying, The Lord of hosts is
the God over Israel: and let the house of thy servant David be
established before thee." II Samuel 7:22 - 24,26
"...forgive thy people that have sinned against thee, and all their
transgressions wherein thy have transgressed against thee, and give
them compassion before them who carried them captive, that they may
have compassion on them:
"For they be thy people, and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest
forth out of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron:" I Kings
8:50,51
"The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and
I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song
will I praise him.
"The Lord is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his
anointed.
"Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: feed them also and
lift them up for ever" [SO THAT WE MAY BLESS YOU, EXALT YOU, AND
PRAISE YOU FOREVER AND EVER!]. Psalm 28:7 - 9

"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 besides me."
