Dishonest ministers have failed to expose and condemn the pagan origins of such <b>Catholic holidays</b> of Christmas and Easter pretending to be Christian festivals.

While this movement will ultimately contribute to fulfilling prophecies such as Isaiah 47:8-9 and Revelation 17:2-5, an aspect of this rejuvenated "fervent missionary movement" already affects billions. This is the growing emphasis on Sunday observance. <a href="http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=EO6o3&m=1ax_SD21fbqwrj&b=9UbETGcG.rEYHWz1YUubJA" style="color: #336699; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Read more <img align="middle" alt="Read More" border="0" class="emptyExternalImage" height="12" src="http://mail.buckeye-express.com/eonapps/images/grayfiller.gif" width="12" /></a></div></div>David Ben-Arielhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02271443642557427428noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18179642.post-81272994277178734762011-02-10T17:28:00.001-08:002011-02-10T17:28:16.212-08:00Beyond Babylon<a href="http://www.publishamerica.com/greetingcardpro/createcard1.asp?PostCardID=7004" style="font-family: verdana;"><img border="0" src="http://www.publishamerica.com/shopping/images/1413750575.jpg" /></a><br />

Jewish guards prevent Christians and Jews from exercising their religious right to pray on the Temple Mount? That's right! Only Muslims have unlimited access to Judaism's most holy site. Only the Koran is permitted within. The Tanach (Jewish Scripture, known to much of the world as the "Old Testament") and Christian Scriptures (the New Testament) are forbidden. Yet Israel claims to respect the religious rights of all people.<br />

Many people are shocked to discover the origins of our most popular religious holidays. They are also surprised to find that the days God commands us to observe in the Bible—the same days Jesus Christ and the apostles kept—are almost universally ignored. Why? Also, why are today's supposedly Christian holidays observed with so many rituals and customs that are not sanctioned anywhere in the Bible? In this booklet you'll discover detailed answers to these questions.<br />

Christmas is one of the world's most popular holidays, celebrated by people of many faiths. Yet the holiday has a strange and convoluted past, one hinted at in such puzzling symbols as decorated trees, holly wreaths and mistletoe.<br />

<div align="center"><span style="font-size: medium;"> <span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Are We CURSING Our Land?</b></span><br />
<br />
Today we have severe drought in some areas -- unexpected floods in others. It has not always been this way. Why the change? Read who is responsible!<br />
<br />
<b>by J. W. Robinson</b> </span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-size: medium;"> <br />
<br />
LARGE portions of the United States, Australia, South Africa, which were once productive, are now drought stricken or ravaged by floods. Streams and springs are drying up in many areas! Much of the topsoil is eroding. Hurricanes are sweeping inland farther, and with greater frequency, than ever before! </span> </div><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span><br />
<div><span style="font-size: medium;"> <br />
Why all this distress? Is it a NATURALLY CAUSED situation which can be explained away? OR IS IT PUNISHMENT FOR SIN? </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> <br />
If it is punishment, for whose sin are YOU being punished? </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> <br />
Here certainly is a question not only our brethren on the farm need to understand, but all of us everywhere!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Why Climatic Rampage?<br />
</b></span><br />
Here is the answer -- </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> <br />
When God gave Israel the law in Mount Sinai, He told them to cultivate the land and harvest its fruit for six years (Ex. 23:10-11). But He also included this little-known, though vitally important statute: "THE SEVENTH YEAR YOU SHALL LET IT REST AND LIE STILL ... In like manner shall you deal with your vineyard and your oliveyard." </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> <br />
God made this law a part of His overall law of love. He knows that the land needs a rest every seventh year. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> <br />
God did not say, "Do it if you WANT to." He made it a definite command FOR OUR OWN GOOD! </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> <br />
But why the increase in floods, in drought, in blowing topsoil and in tornadoes? And why the coming war and captivity of this whole people? What have the people done to merit such devastation? </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> <br />
Let Leviticus 26:34-35 tell us. "Then [in the near future] shall the land enjoy her sabbaths AS LONG AS IT LIES DESOLATE, AND YOU BE IN YOUR ENEMIES' LAND; then shall the land rest, AND ENJOY HER SABBATHS. As long as it lies desolate it shall rest; BECAUSE IT DID NOT REST IN YOUR SABBATHS, WHEN YOU DWELT UPON IT." </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> <br />
It is all very clear. The land becomes desolate BECAUSE IT HAS NOT BEEN ALLOWED TO REST AND KEEP ITS SABBATHS! </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> <br />
Some who call themselves Christians show a great lack of concern for God's sabbatical year. Does THAT show an attitude of SUBMISSION? No, it typifies the indifference of this modern age! </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> <br />
Don't think for a minute that you are on a band wagon with an easy ticket into the Kingdom of God. YOU MUST OBEY GOD! Otherwise you will suffer with the nation when it pays in full for its sins. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> <br />
In the Scriptures God isn't speaking just to your neighbor. HE IS SPEAKING TO YOU!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>God's Conditional Promises<br />
</b></span><br />
Are you occasionally plagued by disease among your livestock, by insect pest, or by drought? If so, you may have been neglecting to DESERVE God's promised blessings. God promises the obedient that He will "... satisfy your soul in drought ... and you shall be like an irrigated garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not" (Isa. 58:11). </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> <br />
God commands us, in Exodus 23:25-26, "And ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee. There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land." </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> <br />
Again, in II Chronicles 7:13-14 God promised us, "When I shut up the heavens that there is no rain, or command the locust to devour the land, or send pestilence among My people, IF My PEOPLE [Christians today] who are called by My NAME HUMBLE THEMSELVES and PRAY and SEEK My face, and TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and HEAL their land." </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> <br />
There it is! God's people must obey God -- and that includes the keeping of the Sabbath year. Now is the time we need to learn TO PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER, "Casting all your cares upon Him; for He cares for you" (I Pet. 5:7).<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Punishment for Disobedience</b></span><br />
<br />
Notice what happened once before when the people refused to obey this law. We have a record of this in II Chronicles 36:20-21: "And them that had escaped from the sword carried he [Nebuchadnezzar] away to Babylon; where they were servants of him and his sons until the reign of the kingdom of Persia: TO FULFILL THE WORD of the Eternal by the mouth of Jeremiah, UNTIL THE LAND HAD ENJOYED HER SABBATHS: for as long as she [the land] lay desolate SHE KEPT SABBATH, to fulfill threescore and ten years." Every sabbatical year unkept meant a year in captivity for Judah! God's corrective measures are sure -- Israel, too, WILL be desolate and the land will soon ENJOY her Sabbaths because the people refuse to turn to God and keep His sabbatical years. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> <br />
God warned Israel in Leviticus 26:14-35 what would happen IF THEY DISOBEYED this law. Israel was to receive severe punishments in four progressively worsening stages unless the nation repented. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> <br />
Some have thought this prophecy apples only to Israel's first punishment, and isn't for us today. They quote verse 22: "I will also send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you of your children, and destroy your cattle, and make you FEW in number; and your ways [roads] shall be desolate." </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> <br />
Those who are scoffers will say, "That is no concern of ours: there are not enough wild beasts in this nation to do any serious damage." Don't you believe it! We are already getting a foretaste of this condition. Rabies and other diseases that are spread by animals are becoming increasingly more destructive, especially to our children. A typical report which illustrates this point is the following news item from Toronto, Ontario, Canada: "Red foxes are bringing an EPIDEMIC OF RABIES into heavily populated southern Ontario ... SCHOOL CHILDREN in Grey County recently began carrying clubs while waiting for school busses after one girl drove off an attacking fox ... Anti-rabies vaccine has been given to 400 persons so far this year, compared to 200 for ALL 1957 ... CATTLE have been hit by the disease" (quoted from the "Dallas Times Herald," Nov. 1, 1958). </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> <br />
Besides the rabies that is being spread far and wide by foxes, skunks, mice, bats, and dogs, there are many more diseases that are bringing great destruction to our children and cattle. Diseases, however, are not the only source of trouble from animals. Man has so abused his natural surroundings that wildlife populations and their food supplies are becoming unbalanced. When a species becomes too numerous, or its natural food supply runs low, it is likely to cause abnormal destruction due to sheer hunger madness. Consider the following report from TRUE MAGAZINE, March, 1960: </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> <br />
"There are twice as many rats in the world as people -- about five billion (400 million rats in the U. S.). EVERY 12TH FARM IN THE WORLD PRODUCES FOOD ONLY TO FEED RATS; a total of about two million average sized modern farms! ..." Wild animals are destined to become even more destructive THROUGHOUT the world BECAUSE MEN HAVE SEVERELY ABUSED THE LAND.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>How to Keep the Sabbath Year<br />
</b></span><br />
We know that "all scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in RIGHTEOUSNESS" (II Tim. 3:16). We know also that we are COMMANDED to keep the Sabbath year and that "ALL {GOD'S} COMMANDMENTS are RIGHTEOUSNESS (Ps. 119:172)." Therefore let us look into the Scriptures for instruction in the keeping of the Sabbath year. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> <br />
God's instructions, in Leviticus 25:3-7, for the Sabbath year are very thorough and complete and are easily understood. [I quote from the Moffatt translation here because it is more easily understood than is the King James Version. The meaning, however, is identical in both]. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> <br />
"For six years you may sow your field, for six years you may prune your vineyard, and gather in the produce; but the seventh year shall be a Sabbath of ENTIRE rest FOR THE LAND, a Sabbath in honor of the Eternal, on which you must neither sow a field nor prune a vineyard, on which you must not even gather the after growth of your harvest nor grapes from your undressed vines honor of the Eternal, on which you must neither sow a field nor prune a vineyard, on which you must not even gather the after growth of your harvest nor grapes from your undressed vines produce of the land shall serve as food for you, for yourself and your slaves, male and female, for your hired servant and any outsiders staying with you, furnishing food also for your cattle and livestock! </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> <br />
READ THESE VERSES AGAIN VERY CAREFULLY. THEY ARE IMPORTANT. Notice that the sabbatical year is a year of ENTIRE rest FOR THE LAND. Verse five tells you that you must not gather your crops or fruit for commercial use or to store up in that year. They must, in general, be allowed to return to the soil. Yet verse six tells you that the NATURAL produce of the land -- that which grows voluntarily -- in the sabbatical year shall serve as food for you, your servants, and strangers or guests that are with you. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> <br />
Some people are temporarily confused when reading these two verses, thinking YOU must not harvest the produce of the land in order to sell it. Neither are you to store up the produce of the Sabbath year for future use. You may use the voluntary produce for day-to-day needs. God wants you to enjoy fresh fruits and vegetables when they are in season, even in the Sabbath year. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> <br />
The natural produce of the land in that year will also furnish food for your cattle and other livestock which may graze on the land (verse 7). This clearly shows that it is permissible to allow cattle to graze the fields in addition to the pasture in the Sabbath year. To take advantage of this liberty it is permissible to allow your cattle herd to increase while they are grazing the whole farm. One man, WHO DID NOT STUDY THESE SCRIPTURES, mistakenly assumed he should sell all of his cattle the Sabbath year! </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> <br />
Definite proof that we should not plant a garden in our sabbatical year, nor harvest or can its produce, is found in Leviticus 25:20-21: "And if ye shall say, What shall we eat the seventh year? behold, we shall not sow nor gather in our increase ..." Notice that God is making provision for those who will be concerned about what they are going to eat during the year in which their land is resting. If we could plant a vegetable garden in the sabbatical year, no one would wonder where his food is coming from, because a well-managed garden can be depended upon to provide an abundance of fresh food. Under such a condition, there would be no test of the faith of the individual.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>God's Blessings Promised<br />
</b></span><br />
Some are sure to say, "How can we make a living in the Sabbath year? A little fresh fruit and vegetables will not support my family. I need a cash crop. I THINK God wants us to use our minds and learn to draw our own conclusions; and I THINK we should let one-seventh of the farm lie idle each year." This looks good to the natural reasoning of some people, but WHAT DOES GOD SAY ABOUT IT? </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> <br />
God DOES want you to use your minds. And if you use them properly, you will come to the conclusion that EVERYONE must learn God's point of view and live by it. The only other recourse is to follow human reasoning, independent of the Scriptures, which leads only to heartaches, sorrows, and wretchedness. Therefore, let us turn to God's Word so that He will tell us HOW to keep the Sabbath year. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> <br />
God tells us in Leviticus 25:20-22, "And if you shall say, 'What shall we eat the seventh year? Behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase.' Then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year; and it shall bring forth produce for three years. And you shall sow the eighth year, and eat yet of old produce until the ninth year; until her produce comes in you shall eat of the old produce." </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> <br />
There you see a definite command that one particular year should be set aside in which the WHOLE FARM should rest by being uncultivated. Also you see a VERY DISTINCT PROMISE that God will so abundantly bless you in the sixth year that your produce will last until the fall crops are harvested in the end of the eighth year to give you food for the ninth year. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> <br />
You should be diligent in your work, but not overly concerned with such matters as your physical needs, because there is very little that YOU can do about it. MAKING YOUR CROPS GROW IS ONE OF GOD'S JOBS. Strive for greater spiritual growth and God will supply your needs. "For your Father knows what things you have need of, before you ask Him" (Mat. 6:8). </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> <br />
"Take no thought, saying, 'What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, With what shall we be clothed?' -- for your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added to you" (Mat. 6:25-34). </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> <br />
What about shrubbery and flowers? How should you care for them in the Sabbath year? The answer is that you should keep the house and its surroundings neat with whatever lawn and hedge trimming may be necessary. God would not want you to let your home become run-down and dilapidated looking. The law of the sabbatical year involves ONLY THAT LAND FROM WHICH CROPS ARE HARVESTED, REMOVED, SOLD OR STORED. It does not include your pasture or the lawn, shrubbery, and flowers around your home.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>How to Figure Your Sabbath Year</b></span><br />
<br />
The Sabbath year is counted according to the Old Testament from about one Feast of Tabernacles to the next, beginning and ending in the autumn of the year. In ancient Israel the sabbatical years included the Jubilee every 50th year. The Jubilee is reckoned ONLY WHEN THERE IS A GOD-GIVEN PERMANENT INHERITANCE. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> <br />
After the Jews returned from captivity under Ezra and Nehemiah they were not given any permanent inheritance. Therefore God did not require them to keep a jubilee -- but only the sabbatical years every seventh year. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> <br />
After the Jews returned from the Babylonian captivity they reckoned sabbatical years, without Jubilees, from the time they REOCCUPIED the land. WE ARE IN A SIMILAR SITUATION TODAY. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> <br />
We have no permanent inheritance. It is apparent that God intends us to use a personal, and not a national, system. YOUR SABBATH YEAR WOULD BE THE SEVENTH YEAR from the time that this knowledge comes to you -- or from YOUR CONVERSION, COUNTED FROM ONE FEAST OF TABERNACLES TO THE NEXT. Count the year of your conversion as your first year if it is more than half a year.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Is This Your Problem?</b></span><br />
<br />
Someone is sure to ask, "Should renters, as well as landowners, keep the Sabbath year?" The answer is an emphatic "yes." </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> <br />
There may be landowners who will not allow their renters to let the whole land rest for a year. Renters do not have the authority to force the issue in this case but must submit to the demands of the owner. In this case the renter should let a portion rest each year until it has all rested. Through this method the land will at least have its recuperative rest. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> <br />
The exact year that the land rests is not of primary importance because CHRISTIANS ARE NOT NOW AN ORGANIZED COMMUNITY. THEY DO NOT ALL HAVE THE SAME SABBATH YEAR ANYWAY. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> <br />
Since renters do not own the land, they must not insist that the owners obey God. Instead, they may have to find, work and a farm elsewhere. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> <br />
Actually, all land renters who are obeying God should, AFTER WISE COUNSEL, aim to become landowners so that they will have full authority to farm according to God's principles. (But don't buy a farm in a drought-stricken area!) </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> <br />
If you are obeying God, you, like Abraham, must be willing to leave the locality in which your ancestors lived. But BEFORE you move into a new area, MAKE SURE YOU CAN MAKE A LIVING THERE. God is not obligated to supply your needs if you move into a desolate, drought-stricken area, or if you grow up in such an area and stay there. You should start your farming venture in an area that is not yet suffering. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> <br />
Then, AFTER YOU HAVE FULFILLED YOUR NORMAL OBLIGATIONS AND ARE OBEYING AND TRUSTING GOD TO THE BEST OF YOUR ABILITY, GOD WILL SUPPLY ALL YOUR NEEDS! Of this, you have His SURE PROMISE in Deuteronomy 28:1-6, 11-12 and Matthew 6:25-34. Read these scriptures carefully.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Land Left Fallow Every 2nd or 3rd Year?</b></span><br />
<br />
There may arise the question, "What should be done with land that is already being left idle every second, third, or fourth year? How should it be handled in order to conform to God's Sabbath year? </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> <br />
Three general types of land are being managed in this manner. The first type to be considered is GOOD, PRODUCTIVE LAND that is periodically being left idle, usually being seeded to a winter legume or other soil builder. Such a practice builds the soil up to a richer, more productive capacity and should in no way be discouraged. However, this should be IN ADDITION to the sabbatical rest. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> <br />
In some Plains States areas there is fertile soil that must be SUMMER FALLOWED every other year because it receives so little rainfall that it will not produce yearly crops. In such an area, it would be permissible to summer fallow in a sabbatical year so that the land will not be sapped of all its surface water, which is needed for the following year's crop. Some in dry areas have not summer fallowed their land, letting weeds grow to maturity. They did not raise a crop in the eighth year. But in each succeeding year the production has steadily increased WELL BEYOND ANY PREVIOUS YEARLY AVERAGE. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> <br />
If you were to summer fallow during your sabbatical year, you should allow some growth to spring up, but disk it into the soil while it is young and tender enough to decompose rapidly. In the Jewish translation of the Old Testament, the word "rest" is translated by "lie fallow." </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> <br />
Another grade of soil is occasionally left idle because it is too poor to produce crops any more often. Such soil is gradually wasting away and is so thin that it should not be cultivated in the first place. Rather, it ought to be seeded to a good pasture grass AND TURNED INTO PERMANENT PASTURE. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> <br />
It is VITALLY IMPORTANT, however, that you DO NOT OVERGRAZE YOUR LAND! One cause of the present distress in our Western states is that much of the land has been overgrazed in the interest of TEMPORARY higher profits. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> <br />
If too many cattle are on the land they will nibble the grass SO SHORT that it will afford no PROTECTIVE COVERING for the soil. The land will then dry up -- the grass will starve -- the topsoil will be blown away. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> <br />
Some land is overgrazed even under the best grazing arrangement. Such land has already been worn out and should be left to nature so that shrubs and trees may take over and enrich the soil and, at the same time, produce a tree crop for future generations. Do not think of PRESENT PROFITS ONLY. Think of future generations who will reclaim this land after the captivity -- after the land shall have kept its Sabbaths.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>What Work Should One Do in the Sabbath Year?</b></span><br />
<br />
Some will want to know, "What should I do on the Sabbath year? I know I shouldn't become idle. Should I get a job in town?" </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> <br />
Considering the purpose of the Sabbath year, you should not get a job UNTIL YOU HAVE PUT YOUR FARM IN GOOD REPAIR. The Sabbath year does for your land what the Sabbath day does for your physical body. One rejuvenates the physical body; the other rejuvenates and improves the land. Surely you have buildings and fences that need repairing. Do you need new fences? Then build them. Digging post holes will not be a violation of the principle of letting the land rest. The Sabbath year is A SABBATH FOR THE LAND. It's the year you work for the land instead of the land working for you. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> <br />
Possibly your home needs remodeling and painting. Take time to renovate it thoroughly in your seventh year. That will be the best opportunity you will have to make of it the kind of home you want. Overhaul or repair all of your machinery -- make sure that everything is in good condition before the beginning of the eighth year. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> <br />
After all this is accomplished, why not take an EDUCATIONAL VACATION? Go to the cities' libraries and museums to study and broaden your understanding of the world around you. You might also visit some of the nation's beautiful parks or attend concerts that would be inaccessible in the other six years. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> When you have done all of these things that you CAN AFFORD -- go ahead and set a job for the remainder of the year! IT IS GOOD TO STAY BUSY, and the extra money can certainly be useful.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Trust God</b></span><br />
<br />
Remember that the Sabbath year is a time for rejoicing, created for the benefit of man. If you OBEY God and TRUST Him, in FAITH, He will fully supply all your needs. In Deuteronomy 11:13-15 God promises you that if you OBEY Him, He will send you rain at the right season so that your fields will produce abundant crops and your pastures plenty of grass "... that you may eat and be satisfied." </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> <br />
Do you think it would be difficult for God to punish the nation WITHOUT INJURING YOU? Turn to Psalm 91:7-10 and read God's answer to this question: "A thousand shall fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you. Only with your eyes shall you see the reward of the wicked. Because you have made the Eternal, who is my refuge, and the Most High, your habitation; there shall no evil befall you, neither shall any plague come near your dwelling." </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> <br />
Turn to Amos 4:7, also, and read: "I caused it to rain upon one city, and caused it not to rain upon another city: one piece was rained upon, and the piece whereupon it rained not withered." This definitely PROVES that God can give YOU rain while your neighbor suffers from drought. If you doubt that this refers to our day, read carefully verses 6-12. The statement, "Prepare to meet your God, O Israel" at the end of verse 12 shows that this Scripture is for our day -- just before the return of Christ. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"> <br />
Could you want stronger promises? What could be stronger than these assurances taken directly from God's inspired word? Do you believe God? If you do not, you have a very wretched life ahead of you! Anyone can see that conditions are worsening the world over. Human scheming certainly cannot save you from the rapidly approaching chaos and ruin. Are you going to continue disobeying God like the world around you and suffer for it? Or will you OBEY Him so that He can heap HIS BLESSINGS upon you?</span> </div>David Ben-Arielhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02271443642557427428noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18179642.post-23345587248085105972010-08-30T05:51:00.001-07:002010-08-30T05:51:24.877-07:00Just keep the 10 Commandments?<h3 class="post-title entry-title"> <a href="http://beyondbabylon.blogspot.com/2010/08/just-keep-10-commandments.html">Just keep the 10 Commandments?</a> </h3><div class="post-header"> </div>Recently several of my senior neighbors and I were discussing religious differences.

<br />
Jesus did say we should keep the commandments, in spirit and in truth (Matthew 19:16-17). But neither Catholics or Protestants keep the commandments! They reject the <a href="http://www.davidbenariel.org/cog/plain-truth-too-strong.htm">plain truth</a> of the Bible to keep their idolatrous <a href="http://www.davidbenariel.org/cog/tradition-truth.htm">traditions</a>.<br />
<br />
I asked my friends (who said we should "just keep the 10 Commandments") whether they were ready to <b>stop keeping Sunday and start keeping the Sabbath</b> - to <i>"remember the Sabbath to keep it holy."</i> Apparently the question caught them off guard as neither replied. How about you?

"The Gentilized Israelites (many Catholics and Protestants) must confess and forsake our baptized paganism, our whitewashed heathen customs that Roman wolves have polluted the world with and misled the masses, and Judaism must reject its Babylonian relics of astrology, amulets, "hell" and other religious lies, as Zechariah proves Judah isn't perfect either.

Dear David,<br />
Just found your sites today and really like what you have to say, you have a lot of great observations. I don't know who would have the courage to speak out against interracial marriage, well put. I'll be honest though---I'm a little skeptical about Herbert W. Armstrong but your info is a wealth of knowledge. Did I read in one of your posts that you have AIDS? How did that happen? What would you suggest for someone to do who wants to grow in truth, knowledge and grace?<br />
Well, keep up the great work!<br />

</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">How foolish you appear since you still don't recognize the difference between Jews (Judah) and Israel (the "lost 10 Tribes). Such ignorance is inexcusable. Satan hates this plain truth and works hard to keep folks <span style="font-size: small;">in the dark. God knows I'm doing what I can to help spread the light </span>about how God is faithful to Joseph and Judah and can also be trusted for His other prophecies to come true. </div><div style="color: #20124d;"><br />

The <a href="http://www.davidbenariel.org/lost-tribes/united-states-manasseh.htm" style="color: #20124d;">United States</a> is in the terrible situation we are today, where the Constitution is trampled daily, because the voters permitted it to get this way with the steady erosion of our Constitutional rights. As <a href="http://chuckbaldwinlive.com/home/"><span style="color: #20124d;">Chuck Baldwin</span> </a>proves in many disturbing articles, <i>both Democrats and Republicans are to blame. </i><br />
<br />

God promised to preserve all Twelve Tribes of Israel throughout the generations because of His love for Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - not because of our righteousness. Furthermore, not all 12 Tribes are Jewish - most aren't Jewish. The prophecies concerning Joseph's sons Ephraim and Manasseh are fulfilled in the British-Israelites - the British Commonwealth and the United States. <br />

<blockquote>Before I understood the Israelite origins of the West, our Hebrew roots, I considered myself a Gentile and I thanked God for opening up salvation to "us Gentiles." I didn't get angry at Him or Jews and call them or Him racist or have some inferiority complex or double standards where everybody can have "black pride" or "brown pride" and mention their color in their many race-conscious groups and organizations (BET, Miss Black America, Black Congressional Caucus, United Negro College Fund, NAACP, The Black Pages, the BlackMarketPlace, Brown Pride Forum), but don't you dare mention anything about the color white or proper white pride, heritage or integrity!</blockquote>- <a href="http://www.davidbenariel.org/lost-tribes/english-speaking-nations-white-israelites.htm" style="color: #20124d;">The English-Speaking Nations of White Israelites</a><br />

It's past time white Israelites reclaim the United States and remove those who clearly don't belong here, who are out of place (some more than others), who are out of order, who prove it's <i>unnatural</i> for them to remain among us by their treacherous talk and militant hatred for people of white color - a threat to themselves and others, a menace to mankind.<br />

Why haven’t national media outlets reported on the vile and violent rants of the New Black Panther Party thugs whose 2008 voter intimidation tactics got a pass from the Obama administration? Simple: Radical black racism doesn'’t fit the Hope and Change narrative.<br />

Such black fools fulfill many stereotypes about black people. If they hate people of white color so much, then let them return to Africa where they belong; let them stop wearing clothes made possible by white inventions and using electricity and running water and driving cars or taking buses or listening to the radio or television, etc. Their dark hearts and mindsets are already primitive, so let them stop being such hypocrites and go all the way and live in huts and wear grass skirts and fight other black African tribes like they have gangs here. Good riddance!<br />
