The Watchman – The United Congregation of Israel

E rrors have prevented many sincere believers from discovering the true name of GOD (Elohim)…YHWH Elohim (The Father) and Yahshua (The Son; so-called Jesus). Their failure to recognize that YHWH Elohim is the Creator who established the keeping of the Sabbath by His own example then etching it “in stone” tables [the ten commandments], puts many in danger for their failure to keep the law [in the spirit] as Yahshua did. The rejection of the faith of Yahshua [and his testimony, including what his name stands for], causes many to stumble on the “corner stone”. They miss that calling on Yahshua results results in us calling upon the name of the true Messiah who has been given a name above all names. To call Yahshua by any other name [including Jesus], causes us to reject the very name one must call on to be saved. It is Yahshua, the right-hand of YHWH’s salvation (deliverance), whereby through the power that is in that name, [the Holy Spirit of YHWH], that shall raise believers from the dead. In the name of Yahshua, we have the name of his father, YAH (YHWH) and ‘shua’ which means ‘salvation’. Thus, is it YHWH, through Yahshua, who saves.

H istorically, Hebrew Israelites have remained careful in depicting holy things because of the commandment not to ‘make graven images’. So, after 400 years of ‘Christian assimilation’, can our people, [who have been trained to visibly see the Messiah as a babe in arms and not a conquering King], really gain a biblical perspective of Yahshua, the true Hebrew Messiah, according to scripture? Depicted by Euro-Gentiles as a Euro-Gentile [with blonde hair and blue eyes, falsely called Jesus], can we see him as the suffering lamb of Yah returning with vengeance as the Lion of Judah? Can we gain a different understanding of the Messiah, with the attributes of a Negro when he appears as KING of Kings in the second coming [Rev 1:1-12]; or perceive him as he really was, in human flesh, based upon the prophecies of his first coming of Isaiah?

Isa 53:1-12 “Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD [YHWH] revealed?… he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces

from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.” Rev 1:14-15 “His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace…”

Yahshua said, “Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life; and

“I have set a watchman upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night. You that make mention of YHWH, keep not silence”. Isaiah 62:6


they are they which testify of me”. John 5:39 It’s unfortunate that many don't understand Yahshua’s [so-called Jesus’] fulfillment of the feasts, and the true Messiah that was sent for the salvation of Israel, and through Israel, sent for those who grab onto Israel; [the in-grafting into the Hebrew tree as spiritual Israelites]. The Apostle Paul taught the Hebrews and early believers to "keep the ordinances". The Greek word for "ordinances" means "appointed times" and that is exactly what the feasts literally are...they are memorials and appointed times/seasons for men to meet with God [YHWH] as commanded….days with significant spiritual implications.

THE BIBLICAL CALENDAR

THE HISTORICAL, MESSIANIC, SPIRITUAL AND PROPHETIC The Feasts of YHWH have past and future prophetic fulfillments as well as natural and spiritual APPLICATIONS implications which are supported by scripture from the Old to the New Testament and beyond…..even into the millennium kingdom. The Hebrew Messiah, Yahshua, kept the law and the feasts as he walked perfectly in the spirit. Understanding this leads to the understanding that the law and the feasts of YHWH are valid today and that YHWH’s plan of redemption [manifested though the Messiah] is His path of salvation for all mankind.

HISTORICAL ASPECTS (Began with the gathering of the Nation of Israel)

1. Passover The Death Angel (The Destroyer) passed over

Israel due to the covering of the lamb’s blood 2. Unleavened Bread Going out of Egypt – leaving sin behind [the leavening] 3. First Fruits Crossing the Red Sea [Baptism Into new life] 4. Pentecost Giving the Torah/The Law [The SPIRIT] at Mount Sinai 5. Trumpets (Blowing the Shofar)

For the calling of an assembly of the nation of Israel [the calling]

6. Day of Atonement Cleanse the people's yearly sins [type: redemption]

It is first important to first understand the biblical calendar that God gave us. In Exodus 12:2, as it is written, "This month [Abib] shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you." The following chart illustrates

the months in the biblical calendar and their significant events.

*Note the months and seasons in which the feast days fall. YHWH’s calendar year begins with the newness of life as the earth blossoms and buds with beauty in the Spring. The year ends with the deadness of winter as the trees, leaves and plants of the earth lie dormant/dead; just as man’s natural life ends in death.

It is no coincidence that 12 months X 30 days [i.e., approximately 29.5 days in length] = 360; (a complete cycle or circumference).

SCRIPTURAL UNDERSTANDING OF THE FEAST DAYS YHWH’s Feasts are:

• A part of the Scriptures given by inspiration of the Holy Spirit through the prophets, which began with Moses and the giving of the law/Torah.

II Tim 3:16-17 All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

• A "shadow of things to come". Let no man judge your keeping of these days because their significance is misunderstood

[by most].

Col 2:16-17 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the Sabbath [days]: Which are a shadow of things to come; but [is] the body of Christ.

Heb 10:1-2 For the law having a shadow of good things to come, [and] not the very image of the things, can never with

those [animal] sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect. For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins.

• Types that portray a memorial of Israel’s historical past and foreshadow Israel's prophetic [pre-destination] in future events

as a holy nation.

1 Cor 10:6 Now these things were our examples, to the intent we [spiritual Israel] should not lust after evil things, as they [natural Israel] also lusted.

144,000 Hebrews Sealed Benjamin Lost

Tribes Levi Judah


1 Cor 10:11 Now all these things happened unto them [natural Israel] for examples: and they are written for our [spiritual Israel] admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.

• A part of the Law. As part of the law they are also a "schoolmaster to bring us to Christ".

Gal 3:24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster [to bring us] unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. Matt 5:17-18 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. For verily I

say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

Matt 11:13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John. • Memorials of Christ’s coming to fulfill of all that was written of Him in "the Law, the Psalms, and the Prophets".

Luke 24:26-27 Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory? And beginning at Moses and all the

prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself. Luke 24:44-45 And he said unto them, These [are] the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things

must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and [in] the prophets, and [in] the psalms [the Old Testament], concerning me. Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,

John 5:45-48 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is [one] that accuseth you, [even] Moses, in whom ye trust. for had ye believed Moses [the law], ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me. Acts 3:22-23 For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like

unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you. And it shall come to pass, [that] every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.

• Confirm that the volume of the book was written about him (Yahshua).

John 5:39-40 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.

Heb 10:7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God [Elohim]. Psa 40:6-8 Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou

not required. Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book [it is] written of me, I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law [is] within my heart.

• Are a WARNING to all concerning the significance of the law given by the prophets and it’s importance in New Testament

times. The parable of Lazarus and the rich man expounds on this: Luke 16:27-31 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou would send him to my father's house: For I have five

brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets [the law]; let them hear them. And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets [the law], neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead [Yahshua].

• Contain knowledge and truth in the external form of the Law (the natural). We study the external form to discover the

internal knowledge and truth (the spiritual) that was hidden therein. Rom 2:20 An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law. Gal 3:24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster [to teach us what sin is according to YHWH] to bring us unto Christ that we might be justified by faith [faith that is we keep his law as instructed we might be saved from spiritual damnation]. Heb 1:1-2 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by [his] Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;

• Set forth "patterns" of heavenly things on earth. Hebrews 8:5 Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, [that] thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount. Hebrews 9:9 Which [was] a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience; Hebrews 9:23-24 [It was] therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, [which are] the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:


• Declare the complete ministry of Christ in laying out the plan of redemption.

John 14:6 Jesus [Yahshua] saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. Matt 7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. II Peter 2:2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom ‘the way’ of truth shall be evil spoken of [called a cult].

• Contain ‘truths’ that the Holy Spirit is quickening the Church to understand in these "last days".

II Peter 1:12 Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know [them], and be established in the present truth. Matthew 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. 2 Chronicles 8:13 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.

This generation will hear what the Spirit is saying to the Churches.

Revelation 2:7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.

The things involved in the Feasts of the Lord pertained to the material, the natural and the temporal. It is a principle of God's dealing with His people that it is "first the natural, afterwards that which is spiritual".

1 Corinthians 15:46-47 “Howbeit that [was] not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. The first man [is] of the earth [Adam], earthy: the second man [is] the Lord [Adonai] from heaven.”

• It is first the animal-lamb, then the Divine-human Lamb of God • First the natural loaves and leaven, then the spiritual loaves and unleaven; • First the earthly Sanctuary, then the heavenly Sanctuary.

The 1st Adam (natural man) and the 2nd Adam [Yahshua, (spiritual man)]

THE APPOINTED TIMES The Feasts of YHWH are his appointed times for man

to meet with Him in the manner he has already specified in his word.

The Feasts of YHWH… (HOLYDAYS) PASSOVER Exodus 12:2-11 Passover was a MEAL, a Feast, as was the first Passover during the

Messiah’s ministry (aka., The Last Supper). After this meal was the partaking of the bread [body] and wine [blood] of the Messiah. Churches who take this ‘communion’ more than once per year do not follow the Messiah’s example nor YHWH’s commandments. There are only four (4) seasons within a year. The season/time for the Passover meal, followed by the blood and wine, is the month of Abib which only occurs once per year.

PROPHECIES: THE PASSOVER LAMB FULFILLS PASSOVER-


• “Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us:” -- 1 Corinthians 5:7. This is a circumcision of the heart!!

• "Like a lamb That is led to slaughter, and like a sheep that is silent before its shearers..." -- Isaiah 53:7.

• "Behold, the lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!" -- John 1:29. Yahshua completely fulfilled the Passover events with exact timing! • PROCESSION OF THE LAMB

A lamb was chosen by YHWH to die for the sins of the entire Hebrew nation. As Yahshua entered Jerusalem, there was huge procession during which the people waved Palm branches and cried: ".. Blessed the King of Israel who cometh in the name of the Lord [YHWH]" – John 12:12-13.

• YAHSHUA, THE PASSOVER LAMB EXAMINED Just as the Passover lamb was examined prior to Passover, so Yahshua entered the temple and was examined prior to Passover by the Sadducees and the Pharisees. " The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him, Matthew 22:23-33

• LAMB PREPARED FOR SACRIFICE Yahshua was prepared for sacrifice and beaten just as a lamb to be sacrificed in the Temple was prepared for Passover. Matthew 27:1; Matthew 27:26

• LAMB SLAIN "BETWEEN THE EVENINGS" [Sundown to sundown] According to God's instructions the Passover lamb had to be slain "between the evenings" Exodus 12:6; Mark 15:25-42; John 19:3; Matthew 27:46; Matthew 27:50

• NO BONES BROKEN Through it was a common and merciful Roman practice to break the legs of the crucified to hasten their death and relieve their suffering, none of Yahshua's bones were broken, just as the Passover lamb was to have no bones broken. John 19:32-33

THE FEAST OF UNLEAVENED BREAD (Read) Lev 23:6-8 Historically, the Feast of Unleavened Bread is a remembrance of God bringing the Hebrews out of Egypt. It begins at sunset of Abib 15. In ancient Israel, days were counted from evening to evening, therefore sunset (6:00 PM) of Abib 14 begins a new day through Abib 15 until sunset. The Feast of Unleavened Bread continues for 7 (seven) days until Abib 21. Unleavened bread must be eaten during this period of seven (7) days. All products containing leavening must be purged from the household as sin is purged from the life (the heart and mind). YAHSHUA, THE BREAD OF LIFE, FULFILLS THE FEAST OF UNLEAVENED BREAD: "I am the bread of life..." -- John 6:35. The Feast of Unleavened Bread is symbolic of Yahshua's death and burial as he laid in the tomb separated from sin (leaven). Yahshua fulfilled all the patterns of the feast. YAHSHUA, THE:

• PURE UNLEAVENED BREAD When breaking the bread at his last meal, Yahshua said to His disciples, "Take and eat; this is my body." Matthew 26:26.

• LEAVENING REPRESENTS SIN Leaven represents sin, thus unleavened bread is a good representation of our sinless Messiah, the Bread of Life. Yahshua bore stripes from Roman beatings; the unleavened bread is marked with stripes. Yahshua was pierced in the side. Yahshua was born in the town of Bethlehem, which translates from Hebrew: "House of Bread".

• YAHSHUA BLOOD OF THE "NEW" [renewed] COVENANT The wine in the Passover meal represents Yahshua’s blood [his soul/essence]. The law of Moses instructed Israel that the "blood is the life”. Deut 12:23

THE FEAST OF FIRST FRUITS Leviticus 23:9-14 Historically, the Feast of First Fruits was the day that the Hebrew slaves went down into the Red Sea [baptism, death and burial] and emerged alive on the other side [the FIRST RESURRECTION] while Pharaoh was swallowed up by the Red Sea [death/the 2ND RESURRECTION]. This set the Israelites free as the First Fruits from Egyptian bondage [sin and then death]. When God brought the children of Israel into the Promised Land, they were to bring the best first fruits of their harvest [the wheat not the tares] and present them to the Lord.

[It is unfortunate that modern Christianity has come to call these holy feasts [Passover, Unleavened Bread and First Fruit] Easter (Ishtar) whose name is derived from the Babylonian Goddess, Ishtar]. • YAHSHUA, THE FIRST FRUITS, FULFILLS THE FEAST OF FIRST FRUITS


"But now Messiah has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who are asleep. For since by a man came death, by a man also came the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, so also in Messiah all shall be made alive. But each in his own order: Messiah the first fruits, after that those who are Messiah's at His coming,..." -- I Corinthians 15:20-23

• Yahshua is the First Fruits. Yahshua is first in order and preeminence, just as the offering of fruits is to be the first and the "best portion". He was resurrected on the Feast of First Fruits. [Yahshua also being The High Priest and always one to observe the Feasts of Israel, gave a first fruits offering of people!].

• .and the tombs were opened; and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised; and coming out of the tombs after His resurrection they entered the holy city and appeared to many." -- Matt 27:52-53. He’s the first fruits of many bretheren to come after him!

THE FEAST OF WEEKS (PENTECOST) Leviticus 23:15-22 God instructed the children of Israel to count seven Sabbaths from the day after the first Sabbath during the Feast of Unleavened Bread. The day following the forty-ninth day is the Feast of Weeks. The forty-nine days are called "The Counting of the Omer". They connect the Feast of First Fruits (the barley harvest) with the Feast of Weeks (the beginning of the wheat harvest). On the Feast of Weeks, a wave offering of two loaves of bread made of fine flour and leaven is presented to the Lord. • The Law contains the Feast of Pentecost….and Pentecost is a foreshadowing of the Holy Spirit…walking in the law in the

spirit. • HOLY SPIRIT GIVEN ON THE FEAST OF WEEKS (PENTECOST)

Following His resurrection, Yahshua appeared to his disciples and told them to wait in Jerusalem until He sent forth "the promise" of his Father (Luke 24:49). We know the Holy Spirit was given exactly fifty days following Yahshua's resurrection, because the New Testament clearly mentions that it occurred on Pentecost.

• "And when the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place... And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit." -- Acts 2:1-4

• The two loaves of leavened bread offered to God during this feast represents the Jew [natural Israel] and Gentile [spiritual Israel] together as one body in the Messiah, Yahshua. The fine flour in which the loaves are made represents the perfect righteousness Yahshua.

• When Moses received YHWH’s law he received the Holy Spirit [the character and righteousness of the true and Living God.

[Elohim]….the spirit of the law.

FALL FEASTS: Trumpets, Day of Atonement, Feast of Tabernacles (also called Booths)

YAHSHUA AND FULFILLING THE FALL FEASTS AT THE SECOND COMING The accuracy in which Yahshua fulfilled the spring feasts at his first appearance is inescapable! By examining the three fall feasts

more closely, we can understand how Yahshua may complete God's plan for man through their fulfillment.

FEAST OF TRUMPETS Numbers 29: 1-6 In the Old Testament, trumpets were used to assemble the people together [as in a holy convocation] and trumpets were used to also assemble the people to prepare for war. The Feast of Trumpets is a solemn time of self-evaluation. Written within the old Negro/Hebrew spirituals is the spiritual understanding that the trumpets are heavenly ‘voices’ who will gather the elect by the call of your name. [“Where will you be when the trumpet sounds? Hush, Somebody’s Calling My Name”. Or, as sung in Steal Away….”He calls me by the thunder, the trumpet sounds within my soul”]. In Numbers 29:1-11, God instructed the Hebrews to observe a holy convocation [day of worship and cessation from work] on the first day of the seventh month by blowing the trumpet and making offerings by fire [A FEAST] to the Lord.

• And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard intreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more. Heb 12:19

• I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, Rev 1:10 • After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet

talking with me; which said, Rev 4:1 • And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters

of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound! Rev 8:13


And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever. Rev 11:15 DAY OF ATONEMENT` Numbers 29:7-11

As Leviticus 16:1-34 instructed, the high priest was to enter the Holy of Holies to make atonement for the people of Israel. As part of the atonement, two goats were selected. One goat was slain as a sacrificial atonement and the other was called the scapegoat. The scapegoat bore the sins of the nation of Israel away from the people. It was led into the wilderness and was pushed from a cliff to ensure that it did not wander back into the camp.

Yahshua atoned for the sins of man when he ascended to heaven and sprinkled the HEAVENLY holy of holies with his own blood. And the Day of Atonement also has a future fulfillment.

• It is at the last (7th) trump, that speaks of Yahshua’s return and the resurrection of the righteous dead and the calling “up here to

meet him in the air” to return to earth with him..…..

• when Yahshua reconciles [cleanses, forgives, purges] the sins of Israel on earth as it is [already done] in heaven. - Romans 3:23-25

•

THE DAY OF ATONEMENT [AT-ONE-MENT] IS NOT A DAY OF FEASTING BUT:

· A COMMANDED DAY OF FASTING AND PRAYER · A DAY OF HOLY CONVOCATION · IS A SOLEMN ASSEMBLY · A SABBATH [REST]

· [FUTURE ASPECT] ATONEMENT OF EARTH….

(It shall be a day of feasting for the fouls of the air to eat upon the flesh and blood of wicked men on earth. As they spilled the blood of the righteous, so shall their blood spill as a recompense/atonement for sin. Then shall the earth also be at-one-ment with the Creator). FEAST OF TABERNACLES Leviticus 23:34-43 The Feast of Tabernacles or Booths begins on the fifteenth day of the seventh month after the crops were gathered [the harvest of the righteous]. God instructed the Israelites to observe the Feast of Tabernacles by building and living in booths for seven days, to remember that the Israelites lived in booths when God brought them out of Egypt. Also remember that God dwelt in the midst of the Israelites when He brought them out of Egypt: Exodus 25:8 "Then have them make a sanctuary for me, and I will dwell among them. Make this tabernacle and all its furnishings exactly like the pattern I will show you." The Feast of Tabernacles is the seventh feast. It depicts YHWH’s rest just like the pattern which YHWH designed in Genesis 2:2 in which he rested then commanded us to rest by his own example. The verse says: "And by the seventh day God completed His work which He had done; and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done." YAHSHUA'S FULFILLMENT OF THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES Just as God [Elohim] tabernacled with the Israelites in the wilderness, Yahshua tabernacled with man in his first coming and will come again to tabernacle with man in his Messianic Kingdom forever. John 1:14

The saints [Hebrews] and spiritual Israelites shall reign with Yahshua [so-called Jesus] for one thousand years as is described in Revelation 20:4: "And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and Judgment was given to them. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of the testimony of Yahshua and because of the word of God, and those who had not worshipped the beast or his image, and had not received the mark upon their forehead and upon their hand; and they came to life and reigned with Messiah for a thousand years." When Yahshua establishes his kingdom on earth, all nations will celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles from year to year. (Zechariah 14:16-19): The survivors, after the attack of Jerusalem by the nations, will go up year after year to worship the King, the LORD Almighty, and to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles. Those who do not come up will receive no rain in their lands [because we will be on earth…NOT IN HEAVEN] and if they do not come up in the second year, they will receive the plague [curse] that is found in the law. [YHWH’s laws and words are complete….His righteousness always coming ‘full circle’.

Yah is a masterful and orderly teacher!!


The first gladiators were part of a sacrif ic ial r i te adopted from the Etruscans. First introduced to Rome in 264 B.C., the sons of Junius Brutus honored their father at this funeral by matching three pairs of gladiators. Gladiator combat was originally part of a religious ceremony that was intended to insure that the dead would be accompanied to the “next world” by armed attendants so that the spirits of the dead would be appeased with this gladiatorial offering of blood. [Today this “next world” be

the equivalent of going off to heaven]. However as found in the Apocrypha, the Greeks were responsible for introducing the games to our people, the Hebrews, during the Maccabean Era (of The Hasmonean Dynasty), before “the games” found popularity in Rome as a [blood] sport.

Macc 1:10-15 “And there came out of them [Alexander the Great’s generals] a wicked root, Antiochus surnamed Epiphanes, son of Antiochus the king, who had been a hostage at Rome….. in those days went there out of Israel wicked men [Esau], who persuaded many, saying, Let us go and make a covenant with the heathen that are round about us: for since we departed from them we have had much sorrow….Then certain of the people were forward herein, that they went to the king, who gave them l icense to do after the ordinances

of the heathen: whereupon they built a place of exercise at Jerusalem ac-cording to the customs of the heathen: And made themselves uncircumcised, and forsook the holy covenant [the Sabbath Day] and joined themselves to the heathen…”. (The Apocrypha and The Septuagint). Most gladiatorial battles were fought to the death and eventually, the blood shed in these battles [which were once part of a so-called religious ritual] became the at-traction. The bloodier the games, the more the Roman “mob” cheered. Gladiators were generally condemned criminals, prisoners of war, slaves bought for this purpose, freed slaves or social outcasts. The most famous amphitheater was the Coliseum, the Flavian Amphitheatre, which was built around 80 A.D. It seated 50,000 people and was situated in a central location to the city; just l ike our modern-day sports domes. [I t also, unfortunately, reminds you of the packed col iseums found in Christ ian worship services on Sunday mornings ]. Jer 5:7 “How shall I pardon thee for this? thy children have forsaken me, and sworn by them that are no gods: when I had fed them to the full, they then committed adultery, and assembled themselves by troops in the harlots' houses.” The articles continued by highlighting the fact that we see that there are mostly white owners and agents… executives sports franchises, shoe companies; mostly white sports-casters, scouts, managers, college administrators and coaches. In the midst of it all, in the spotlight, the media makes sure Alomar spitt ing, Dennis Rodman kicking, Albert Bel l gambling, Mike Tyson is out on parole and Lawrence Phil l ips has entered into counseling. But, there is a reason for this. Sports were not designed to l i f t

There is a search for a new head coach in the NFL but instead of an opportunity for young black coaches with proven ability, we see the likes of long-retired Dick Vermeil and Mike Ditka resurface. “Why do we keep doing this?” says Spike Lee. (Lee is currently working on a historical biography of Jackie Robinson, according to The Houston Chronicle). Suddenly there is a loud, musical introduction of players at an NBA arena. But we look around, we see a predominantly white crowd dressed in business suits and fine jewelry, screaming as predominantly black teams run onto the floor. “Today’s Black athletes, “legendary ex—NFL star J im Brown says, “are just gladiators”. In actuality, all athletes are just gladiators once the origin of these highly competit ive ”games” are made known.

“gladiators” above the status of their masters, but to entertain master while the gladiator is demised. Carl Lewis said, “Money is over-running sports”; [and because of this] low-income project homes are being “razed” to the ground to make room for these arenas just as our homes were razed to the ground in Jerusalem by the Edomites [Esau]. Psa 137:7 “Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Raze it, raze it, even to

the foundation thereof.” Lewis continued by saying that professional sports is so expensive and elaborate that they should just let the corporations run it. He’s right! Sports is Big Business…and so was the slave trade via the auction block.! !

YHWH told us not to learn the ways of strangers [Deut 31:16]. But we followed after the nations and their lust for money, and now that lust has become ‘part of our destruction’…..just another tool of destroying the minds and bodies of our people. It’s the “curse of bl indness” that we still follow the ways of the nations [Rom 11:9-10].

Almost all Americans say religion matters, yet more people are opting out of religion than ever. Unbeknown to most, YHWH did not give man ‘religion’. YHWH gave the Hebrews “a way of life” that he intended for all mankind to follow that originated from the laws, statutes and judgments [covenant vows] He gave the Hebrews to live by. Today, religion is just a system or form of worship for the masses; most of which cannot be supported by the bible when scripture is compared “line upon line, precept upon precept and here a little, there a little” - Isa 28:10. According to USA Today [March 7,

2002] in 2001, 2.9 million people say they have no religion. This figure is double the number of people who said the same thing only 10 years ago. A survey, conducted by The American Religious Identification Survey 2001, [ARIS], the people of ‘no religion’ [or religion for Religious Beliefs], indicted this 2.9 million non-believers accounts for 14% of the U.S. population. “For them, Sundays are just another Saturday”, the article said. [Saturday – the Sabbath Day-is the only commanded day of worship, from generation to generation – Exo. 31:14-16].

Luke 8:13 “They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.”

Laura Terry of Whidbey Island, Wash., who acknowledges a Catholic heritage said, “We have not gone to church since we were children. Our kids go to private schools and learn “the philosophies” [man’s opinions] of all religions, and “I THINK” that’s enough. [Does anyone ever recall reading any scripture verses where YHWH asked us our opinions of anything?? In what situation would ‘the Creator’ need to ask ‘the created’ anything?

Rom 9:21-22 “Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honor, and another unto dishonor? What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction.” Isa 66:4 “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.”

The six states with the highest percentage of people saying that they have no religion are all Western States, with

the exception of Vermont at 22%. Donald Miller of the Center for Religion and Civic Culture said, “I always think the West is leading not only the U.S. but the world, that in a sense, we are on the edge of history.” [How true that is because America is near the end of her history.] But Miller can’t say whether these statistics are secular America to come, ‘one nation under whatever, or merely a reconfiguration of traditional beliefs under new banners. [According to bible prophecy, it’s all three…]

• Jer 51:47 “Therefore, behold, the days come, that I will do judgment upon the graven images of Babylon: and her whole land shall be confounded, and all her slain shall fall in the midst of her. “

• Matt 15:6 “Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.”

• Rev 13:17-18 “And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or

the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.”

The news continued, in an special exclusive entitled “Amen, to a church-free life”. A 22 year-old volunteer trainee [devoted to tolerance and service] said, “These spiritual-but-not-religious people are very vague. “ [That’s because “vague” is the god they serve.] “They say they value peace and love but they don’t think it’s coming from a higher power”. [They are comfortable in their riches…their security.] “They have no generational or historical perception of religion.” […because they are not Hebrews, thus Euro-Gentiles were not given charge of holy things.] The young volunteer continued, “Their religion is knowledge and self-sufficiency; that is truth to them.”

Man is unable to face the “real” truth …that as a sovereign GOD, YHWH has created, for himself, vessels [men] fitted for the day of destruction and well as those destined for eternal salvation since before the foundation of the world was formed. Proverbs explains it well!!

Prov 16:2-4 “All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but YHWH, [the LORD] weighs the spirits. Commit thy works unto the LORD and thy thoughts shall be established. The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.”

THE ISRAELIS’ NEW TREE OF LIFE

The United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism, which represents the 1.5 million Conservative Jews [better known as Israelis] in the United States [or in Israel], has just issued a new Torah and commentary, the first for Conservatives in more than 60 years. Called "Etz Hayim" ("Tree of Life" in Hebrew), it offers an interpretation that incorporates the latest findings from archaeology, philology, anthropology and the study of ancient cultures. [The Torah is the first 5 books of the bible often referred to as the law of Moses; Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy]. The Torah was written through the utterances of the Holy Spirit. The Spirit is also called “The Spirit of Truth.] To the editors who worked on the book, it represents one of the boldest efforts ever to introduce into the religious mainstream a view of the Bible as a human, rather than divine, document. In other words, this is a concerted effort to teach the unorthodox Jew“ish” people [Jew-like imposters] that Moses did not speak with the ‘spirit of truth’ even though the bible indicates that he did. This is one of several ways to “blaspheme the Holy Spirit” which is the only sin for which there is no forgiveness. Mark 3:30 “But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation: Because they said, He hath an unclean spirit.” Quoting from the March 9, 2002 New York Times article, “Abraham, the Hebrew patriarch, probably never existed. Nor did Moses. The entire Exodus story as told in the bible probably never occurred. The same is true of the tumbling of the walls of Jericho.” “And King David, far from being the fearless king who built Jerusalem into a

mighty capital, was more like a provincial leader whose reputation was later magnified to provide a rallying point for a fledgling nation,” the article continued. To Esau [the Israelis} YHWH said…

Oba 1:10-16 “For thy violence against thy brother Jacob shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever… in the day that the strangers carried away captive his forces, and foreigners entered into his gates…even thou wast as one of them. But thou should not have looked on the day of thy brother in the day that he became a stranger; neither should thou have rejoiced over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction; …Thou should not have entered into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity; … nor have laid hands on their substance in the day of their calamity…”

And now, according to The Washington Post.com, the Israeli Supreme Court ruled in a landmark decision today that Israel must officially recognize all conversions to Judaism by [secular non-orthodox] Reform and Conservative ‘Jew-like’ groups in Israel. The Orthodox Jewish establishment, which controls marriages, divorce and burials for Israelis, could continue to refuse services to such converts, but for the first time in history The Supreme Court has forced Israelis into recognizing Jews from all streams of life as legitimate, without distinction. There is one important question behind all of this. Why are the [so-called] Jews trying to erase their own history, clearly preserved for over 5,000 years…a history that is supported by secular historical documents and archeological documentaries that the whole world has seen? The answer is very simple. The Israelis are not the ancient Hebrew Israelites of the bible. This fact is supported by scripture and prophecy. In addition, carefully observing what the Israelis [and any other so-called faith or people believe] and comparing it to scripture will reveal whether or not their beliefs are built on the “corner stone” of truth or spawned from the father of lies, Satan. It’s not their history that they are attempting to erase, but OURS……the inheritance of the misnamed, re-named and misidentified Negro.

Psalms 83:4 “They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be

no more in remembrance.”

But, they cannot erase our heritage because YHWH has already vowed that it shall come to pass. The Negro [Israel] shall receive their inheritance!

‘CHIPPING’ THE WAY TO PERDITION As identity theft and counterfeiting activities lurk behind every corner, so do man’s resolutions to such problems that he

created. But with such resolutions, are they ‘chipping a path leading directly to the lake of fire? Absolutely!

Under the ‘guise’ of locating lost pets, tracking human blood sugar, heartbeat, or blood pressure functions on line, along with efforts to prevent counterfeiting of money, not to mention money-laundering, [of Euro bills in particular], the world of “embedded micro-chip systems” has exploded into an international conference that was held in San Francisco, CA on

March 13-15, 2002. Their website is: www.embedded.com.

Spurring the way is The Jacobs family, who will become the first family ever implanted with a new identification device – no bigger than a grain of rice –called VeriChip. Stating that the family who gets “chipped together stays together”, the father Jeff has had cancer and has been on 10 different types of medication for years. Claiming the “implanted chip” will give their family peace of mind because “it will be able to speak for him if he isn’t able to and will immediately tell his doctors his medical story”, quoted the BBC News. But chip implantations are also categorized as ‘lifesavers”.

Newer versions, having the ability to store up to a megabyte of data with global positioning that some will have,


will enable the identification of Alzheimers patients who get lost and cannot identify themselves. Or can save the life of a Hodgkin’s disease or diabetic patient who may become unconscious. Medical experts would have instant access to every detail about him that’s stored on the chip. While VeriChip makers await Federal Drug Administration (FDA) approval, Ethicists have asked two important questions. With the ability to track or monitor people, how far will this go? And, could the chip ever become mandatory like vaccinations? According to The Embedded Systems Conference, chip software is popping up all over the globe. The Electrical Engineers Times has reported that the European Central Bank and partners are working on a hush-hush technology project to embed radio frequency identification [RFID] tags into the fibers of Euro bank notes. The technology makers say they are under strict nondisclosure agreements and are careful not to discuss details. But reporters have discovered they are similar to today’s smart labels or contact-less cards that can automatically collect information about a product, place, time or transaction. All you need is a RFDI chip [which is paper-thin] and an antenna. This is a grand attempt to foil counterfeiters and money launderers as Europe continues to prepare for a massive changeover to the euro, thus creating an instant mass market which chip makers have long sought. 14.5 billion bank notes have been produced with 10 billion due to go into circulation in January 2003. But there’s a larger market! If the chip is being programmed to allow the tracking of financial transactions, and can presently store personal and medical data, then why not use the uniqueness of the chip and combine the two? This would eliminate the need for a physical monetary system since the largest market on earth is that of the human population!! Rev 13:16-17 “And he causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.”
