THE LAW KEEPERS LET US ESTABLISH A HEBREW ISRAELITE COMMUNITY THAT WILL BE BUILT FROM ITS FOUNDATION IN TRUTH AND IN RIGHTEOUSNESS FOR GODS HOLY NAME AND FOR HIS EXALTATION! March 30, 2000 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 Therefore my people shall know my name: therefore they shall know in that day that I am he that doth speak: behold, it is I. Isaiah 52:6 &and thou shalt know that I the Lord am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob. Isaiah 60:16 And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them: and the heathen shall know that I am the Lord, saith the Lord GOD, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes. Ezekiel 36:23 With Passover upon us and just a very quick few weeks away, let us commit ourselves to returning to Our GOD, YIHOVAH, with our whole heart and soul in Truth and in Righteousness, as well as, commit ourselves to returning to our heritage so that Our GOD will cleanse us from all our iniquities. It is imperative that we fully understand what it means to fear the GOD of Israel, be thankful unto HIM, and to appreciate the fact that it is because of HIS Manifold Mercies that we yet exist today. We must give Glory to Our GOD for being patient with us and for not completely destroying us for our multiple transgressions against HIM worst of all, for forsaking HIM for strange gods. And I will cause the captivity of Judah and the captivity of Israel to return, and will build them, as at the first. 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. And it shall be to me a name of joy, a praise and an honor before all the nations of the earth, which shall hear all the good that I do unto them: and they shall fear and tremble for all the goodness and for all the prosperity that I procure unto it. Jeremiah 33:7 9 Many of us are dragging our feet and fishing and hunting for Dry Bones to enlighten them about GODs Truth. Isnt that GODs job? Dont you know that anyone seeking to find the GOD of Israel in Truth will reach HIM? Dont you know that YIHOVAH looks at the heart to determine who is worthy of HIS help and Deliverance? Dont you know and realize yet that even when the Dry Bones are enlightened that they all still do not embrace GODs Law to do them in Righteousness? Dont you know that too many Israelites speak of YIHOVAH with their mouths but their hearts are far from HIM? Dont you know that only those who have it in their hearts to return home will be privileged with GODs Rewards? And dont you know that there will only be a Remnant of the Nation of Israel to return home? Therefore, let us be focused on setting our priorities and getting our own hearts right as we prepare to make ourselves worthy to Exalt Our GOD. Never forget that it was stiff-necked Israel that prevented the Prophet Moses from entering the Land of Canaan. Lets not permit this to happen to us. As we all know, Passover is based upon GOD saving the Nation of Israel out of Egypt. This Great Exodus is all about the Most High GOD of Israel Delivering HIS People and making a sensational Name for HIMSELF that, to date, has been forgotten by many of GODs own Chosen People, as well as, by the Gentile World. And now, the responsibility of Exalting the GOD of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob before the World has once again become our charge. Thy people also shall be all righteous; they shall inherit the land for ever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified. Isaiah 60:21 I will accept you with your sweet savor, when I bring you out from the people, and gather you out of the countries wherein ye have been scattered; and I will be sanctified in you before the heathen. Ezekiel 20:41 Therefore, this Message is about our returning home to again make the World cognizant of the Most High GOD of Israel and HIS Holy Name. Therefore thus saith the Lord
GOD; Now will I bring again the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the
whole house of Israel, and will be jealous for my holy name; When I have brought them again from the people, and gathered them out of their enemies lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of my nations; Ezekiel 39:25,27 King Solomon was the one who the Most High GOD of Israel chose to build for HIM a Holy Temple in Jerusalem. But it was King David who first had it in his heart to build this House to the Holy ONE of Israel. Although, I am sure, the Holy ONE was grateful for King Davids kindheartedness, HE informed him that his Seed (Solomon) after him would build this house for GODs [Holy] Name (II Samuel 7:2 13). It is more than obvious that the Most High GOD of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob does indeed want HIS People to Exalt and Praise HIM and to remember HIS Holy Name. HE also wants other Nations to know of HIS Holy Name and HIS Might, as well. That all the people of the earth might know the hand of the Lord, that it is mighty: that ye might fear the Lord your God for ever. Joshua 4:24 Hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and do according to all that the stranger calleth to thee for: that all people of the earth may know thy name, to fear thee, as do thy people Israel; and that they may know that this house, which I have builded, is called by thy name. I Kings 8:43 Because Our GOD formed us to show forth HIS Praise (Isaiah 43:21), we, Israelites, must cause the World to know that the Holy ONE of Israel still exists, that HE still lives, and that HE alone is still the ONLY Lord GOD of Hosts. We must put the attention and the spotlight back on Our GOD for Sanctification of HIM and HIM alone, and this includes HIS Law. Then once YIHOVAH sees just how serious we are, HE will make a New Covenant with the Whole House of Israel by putting HIS Law in our inward parts and writing it in our hearts. And at that time, of a surety, we will all know and fear Our GOD to do HIS Will in Righteousness (Please see Jeremiah 31:31 34.)! And they shall no more be a prey to the heathen, neither
shall the beast of the land devour them; but they shall dwell safely, and
none shall make them afraid. And I will raise up for them a plant of renown, and they shall be no more consumed with hunger in the land, neither bear the shame of the heathen any more. Thus shall they know that I the Lord their God am with
them, and that they, even the house of Israel, are my people, saith the Lord
GOD. And ye my flock, the flock of my pasture, are men, and I am your God, saith the Lord GOD. Ezekiel 34:28 - 31 Soon enough, Our GOD will have another Temple built for HIMSELF, but until that time, there is much we can do to call attention to YIHOVAH and HIS Greatness, HIS Paths of Righteousness, and HIS Holy NAME. Mainly, we can establish a TORAH Community for the Nation of Israel and for the Gentiles who want to keep GODs Laws and Serve and Worship ONLY HIM! This is what we can do RIGHT NOW in our efforts to Exalt YIHOVAH! And those of us given this task must have it in our hearts to follow GODs Paths of Righteousness and be obedient to HIS Law, or our efforts will be in vain. And Samuel said, Hath the Lord
as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifice, as in obeying the voice of
the Lord? Behold, to obey is
better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams. For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, he hath also rejected thee from being king. I Samuel 22,23 When we are obedient to Our GOD of Israel, whether we realize it or not, we are Glorifying HIM. As you well know, Wisdom and Understanding is attained through the keeping of GODs Law (Deuteronomy 4:5 9). Therefore, we must return home to have Our GOD teach us HIS Ways and put HIS Laws and Spirit in our hearts so that we will represent HIM in Righteousness and once again make the World realize GODs Truth. For a small moment have I forsaken
thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee. &my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the Lord that hath mercy on thee. And all thy children shall be taught of the Lord; and great shall be the peace of thy children. Isaiah 54:7,10,13 And by the same token, we must cause the World to understand that the religions they have been taught and have been proclaiming as being divine have nothing whatsoever to do with the worship of the Creator, the True and Living GOD. For from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same my name shall be great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense shall be offered unto my name, and a pure offering: for my name shall be great among the heathen, saith the Lord of hosts. Malachi 1:11 YIHOVAHs NAME will be great because HIS Chosen People - that Righteous Remnant - will show forth HIS Praise and fulfill this prophecy!!! Remember these, O Jacob and Israel&O Israel, thou shalt not be forgotten of me. Isaiah 44:21 Therefore, let us permit Our GOD to work in our behalf. If we genuinely seek HIM with our whole hearts, HE will give us the opportunity to again prove to the World that HE alone is GOD, and that there is none else. YIHOVAH worked wonders for the Children of Israel down in Egypt, and HE will do the same for us during these latter days. HE has already made this promise (Deuteronomy 30th Chapter), and now, its up to us to make this a reality. But we must first be committed to returning to HIS Laws, Statutes, and Judgments. We have got to realize that GODs Protection and Love and Goodness towards Israel, whereby we are made to prosper, was never unconditional but rather came with a price and always has - to this day. That thou mightest fear the Lord thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy sons son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged. Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as the Lord God of thy fathers hath promised thee, in the land that floweth with milk and honey. Deuteronomy 6:2,3 But it shall come to pass, if you wilt not hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee: Deuteronomy 28:15 (Please read from 15 68) &keep the charge of the Lord thy God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and his testimonies, as it is written in the law of Moses, that thou mayest prosper in al that thou doest, and whithersoever thou turnest thyself: That the Lord my continue his word which he spake concerning me, saying, If thy children take heed to their way, to walk before me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall not fail thee (said he) a man on the throne of Israel. I Kings 2:3,4 And the Lord said unto him [King Solomon], I have heard thy prayer and thy supplication, that thou hast made before me: I have hallowed this house, which thou hast built, to put my name there for ever; and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually. And if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, in integrity of heart, and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded thee, and wilt keep my statutes and my judgments: Then I will establish the throne of thy kingdom upon Israel for ever, as I promised to David thy father& 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 9:3,4,5,6,7 After King Solomon sinned by letting his wives worship false gods and allowing them to influence him to worship some good-for-nothing goddess, the Holy ONE of Israel took the kingdom from him and gave it to his servant, Jeroboam (I Kings 11th Chapter). And to Jeroboam, GOD yet again emphasized the importance of walking in HIS Ways and keeping HIS Statutes and Commandments. Certainly if the Holy ONE of Israel wanted the Kings of Israel to keep HIS Laws, then it positively goes without saying that it is incumbent upon the whole Nation of Israel to live and do GODs Laws, as well. Hence, GODs Paths of Righteousness have not changed. Those of us living today are still bound to these Laws. Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments. Malachi 4:4 Our GOD will teach those of us who seek HIM in Truth exactly how to live HIS Perfect Law ONE Way HIS Way so that we will be able to fulfill the wonderful latter day prophecies HE has planned for us. This is just one major reason why establishing a TORAH Hebrew Community in the land is so very necessary. And for those of you who think we will receive GODs Blessings in exile, please think again. We will not be blessed or Our GOD sanctified in us in the lands of our enemies. YIHOVAH knows that if he enables us to be happy in the lands of the Gentiles that we would never want to return home to show forth HIS Praise in the place where HE has placed HIS Name and where HIS Eyes and Heart remain perpetually. Therefore, if we want to rise above being the tail, a byword and proverb, subjugation, affliction, and poverty then we had better seek YIHOVAH for HIS Counsel and appeal to HIM for guidance as we seek to return home. There is no doubt that we must change our ways, and if our hearts are willing, Our GOD will help us to make this transition possible!!! Not only have we profaned the Holy Name of Our GOD, but because of us, the Holy ONE of Israel has been swept under the rug and purposely been replaced by a false god (Deuteronomy 28:64). The World does not acknowledge HIM, albeit, because THEY DO NOT KNOW HIM (Amos 3:1,2)! I pray to be worthy and among GODs Righteous Remnant that will Exalt and Sanctify YIHOVAH and usher in HIS Glorious Kingdom on this Earth. True, YIHOVAH gave King Solomon the charge to build for HIM the House of the Lord for HIS Holy Name. We cant build GODs Temple at this time, but we CAN certainly build a Nation of Righteous Israelites to Magnify and show forth the Praises of the True and Living GOD of Israel. We can set Righteous examples for those Israelites who have it in their hearts to return home. With YIHOVAHS guidance, we can set the ways and means for building GODs Kingdom. We can produce the blueprint for GODs Holy Temple mentioned in the Book of Ezekiel. We can establish a school for re-educating our children in the Ways of YIHOVAH. We can acclimate ourselves to life in our own land, eat off the fat of the land, and bring new meaning to The Feast of Weeks. We can be joyful and glad for all the goodness that the Holy ONE of Israel has already and will bestow upon us, as HE has promised, IF we follow the same Laws, Precepts, and Ordinances that HE gave to our Kings and to the Children of Israel for us to live forever. And by the way, YIHOVAH never ever told us that HE would bestow upon us HIS blessings in the lands of our captors but rather curses. Dont you think YIHOVAH knows that if he enables us to be happy in the lands of the Gentiles that wed never want to return home??? We were cast into our enemies lands to be oppressed, persecuted, degraded, and to suffer many sorrows, and GOD did not lie. EVERYTHING prophesied to happen to the Nation of Israel came to pass double, as a matter of fact. Enough already! Let those who desire to remain in exile, do so. It is better for them to stay where they are if GOD has not put it in their hearts to head for home. After all, HE knows whats best. And I dont want to bond with any rebellious and stiff-necked Israelites. As a matter of fact, I dont even want them around me (Psalm 101st Chapter). I have had enough of the likes of evil and wickedness. Remember, it was this caliber of Israelite that put us in exile in the first place. My People, we owe it to Our GOD to give our lives to HIM. The GOD of Israel has been waiting for us to return to HIM and HIS Laws to do them in Righteousness for well over 2,500 years. I am tired, so very tired of living in a Gentile World System. I want to live Righteously and know what all Our GOD has planned for us (Isaiah 64:4). I cant wait to see exactly how YIHOVAH will use us to Exalt HIM and HIS Holy Name. And I want to be there to make sure that everything goes as Our GOD has planned in Righteousness!!! Therefore, let OUR hearts be perfect with the Lord Our GOD to walk in HIS Statutes and keep HIS Commandments and remember the Covenant that HE made with us. I beg of you to join with me. Lets do what Our forefathers were expected to do in the very beginning of our Nationhood but failed because of forsaking the Holy ONE of Israel and worshipping false gods. The Lord our God be with us, as he was with our fathers: let him not leave us, nor forsake us: That he may incline our hearts unto him, to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and his statutes, and his judgments, which he commanded our fathers. I Kings 8:57,58 &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: 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 Dont wait until its too late, My People. We dont hesitate to turn to GOD for help in time of trouble, but we conveniently forget that HE turns to us just so HE can save us from our affliction IF we are obedient unto HIS Word. But we pay HIM and HIS Word no mind. We just keep on following the thoughts of our hearts fulfilling our personal desires to live as we choose and where we choose until faced with another calamity, and then we call upon YIHOVAH for help, again. Nothing has changed, not even since we were first Chosen to be GODs Nation of Israel; we are as defiant as ever. I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, which walketh in a way that was not good, after their own thoughts; Isaiah 65:2 One day some of us wont be able to call upon YIHOVAH, and you can imagine why. But for those of us who fear the Holy ONE of Israel to do HIS Will, we shall have good reason to rejoice and be glad in Our GOD. And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people: and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying. And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear. Isaiah 65:24 For what more could we ask? This Passover season, let us think long and hard about returning to that which Our GOD loves and gave us. Let us determine a year, a month, a day to leave the land of our captors and return home to GODs Land and take part in revealing GODs Truth and causing the World to know the Most High GOD of Israel and to realize the significance of HIS Holy Name. Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that they shall no more say, The Lord liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; But, The Lord liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land. Jeremiah 23:7,8 May every one have a healthy and Blessed Passover, and may the Holy ONE of Israel lead and guide you accordingly. Glory
ye in his holy name: let the heart
of them rejoice that seek the Lord. And say ye, Save us, O God of our salvation, and gather us together, and deliver us from the heathen that we may give thanks to thy holy name, and glory in thy praise. I Chronicles 16:10,35 LET US EXALT AND SANCTIFY THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL BEFORE THE WORLD IN TRUTH AND IN RIGHTEOUSNESS! Tziona Yisrael Servant of the Most High GOD of Israel For HIS Holy Names Sake |
