The Gregorian calendar (Pope Gregory, 1500's) –
June 6, 2009
--------------
We restore the calendar of God
We are now in the 3rd month
of God called Sivan, 12th day
Esth. 8 [9] Then were the king's scribes called
at that time in the third month, that is, the month
Sivan…
--------------
We restore the Sabbath
Question: Why are we here today?
Answer: We were told to remember the Sabbath Day to keep it holy
The 4th
Commandment is a part of the covenant given to us at Mount Sinai in the 3rd
month, Sivan
Ex. 20 [8] Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
[9] Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
[10] But the
seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt
not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy
maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
[11] For in six
days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and
rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day, and
hallowed it.
-------------------
We restore the land God gave Israel
back to Israel
Lev. 25 1] And the LORD spake
unto Moses in mount Sinai, saying, [23] The land shall
not be sold for ever: for the land is mine; for
ye are strangers and sojourners with me.

Topic: The big lie
Joseph Goebbels, Nazi Minister of Propaganda and Information, said that a big lie
that is told often enough and long enough will eventually be accepted as truth.
With cooperation from the world's media, coupled
with ignorance, apathy, and anti-Semitism among the nations, Israel is looked
on today as problem that there is no peace. FALSE!
---------
In an article entitled, "The Lesson of Palestine," printed in the Middle
East Journal ,
October 1949, Arab activist, Musa Alami, wrote,
"how can people struggle for their nation, when most of them do not know
the meaning of the word? The people are in great need of a "myth" of imagination. The myth of nationality
would create "identity" and "self-respect."
The Myth of Palestine
----------------
We hear all around us in the news:
Be politically correct by calling Israel, Palestine, have a two state solution?
Some
news:
Israel Today website - Headline News
Thursday, June 04, 2009 Ryan Jones
Obama does not recognize Israel land claims, security needs.
In his much anticipated address to the Muslim
world in Cairo on Thursday, US President Barack Obama said he does not
recognize the legitimacy of any Israeli presence on the biblical lands of Judea and Samaria, and scolded the Jewish state
for security measures he said are unnecessary and counterproductive.
In a speech in which he repeatedly referred to
the “Holy Koran” and the many lessons of peace it holds for us, Obama appeared to paint
Israel’s reluctance to surrender land for the establishment of a Palestinian Arab state as the sole remaining
obstacle to ending the Israeli-Arab conflict.
The audience at Cairo University was silent as
Obama began by recalling the Jews’ painful history, deriding anyone who would
deny that history and reaffirming the Jewish people’s righteous quest for a
homeland. They erupted in applause as he continued by equating that history and
that quest to the suffering of the Palestinian
Arabs and their own efforts to forge an independent state.
His listeners were left to believe that Obama
views the Palestinian plight in the same light
as the Nazi Holocaust, and sees little difference between the Nazi death camps
and the Palestinian “refugee” camps. That the Palestinians’ situation has been brought on largely by
their own violence, while the Jews did nothing to provoke the Nazis but be
Jews, was conveniently glossed over.
Obama insisted that for peace to reign over the
region, Israel must halt all “settlement activity” in the areas it has greatest
historical claim to. He said America and
the rest of the world will never recognize the legitimacy of those settlements.
The president scoffed at Israeli security
measures imposed on those areas that have been surrendered to the Palestinians, saying they were only producing the
opposite result. He was adamant that imposing a blockade on Gaza and manning
checkpoints in Judea and Samaria cannot bring security to Israelis. He failed
to address the rampant Palestinian
terrorism that plagued Israeli cities before those measures were put in place.
Obama did take issue with Palestinian violence in general, but attempted to
downplay it by saying very few participate in it or support those groups that
do. His remarks ignored years of public opinion polls showing that the vast
majority of Palestinians support
violence against Israel and the most recent Palestinian
legislative election in which Hamas won a landslide victory. A recent survey
revealed Hamas will score an even bigger victory when Palestinians again go to the polls later this
year.
Israelis were anxious prior to the speech,
fearful that Obama was going to sacrifice Israel to bring reconciliation
between America and the Muslim world. After watching the speech live on
television, many were left feeling that is precisely what happened
...
What's wrong with this seemingly nice
statement?
Too many tears have flowed. Too much blood has
been shed. All of us have a responsibility to work for the day when the mothers
of Israelis and Palestinians can see their children grow up without fear; when
the Holy Land of three great faiths is the place of peace that God intended it
to be; when Jerusalem is a secure and lasting home for Jews and Christians and
Muslims, and a place for all of the children of Abraham to mingle peacefully
together as in the story of Isra, when Moses, Jesus, and Mohammed (peace be upon them) joined
in prayer.
Another big lie...
---------------
The Scripture never calls Arabs, Palestinians.
There is no language known as Palestinian.
There is no distinct Palestinian culture.
There has never been a land known as Palestine governed by
Palestinians.
There is no provision in the scriptures for a two state
solution
(No made up Palestinian state in Israel)
If we look into the scriptures, we
will find no such promise. The scriptures promise of the land of Israel to the
seed of Abraham.
Lev. 25 [1] And the
LORD spake unto Moses in mount Sinai, saying,[23] The land shall not be sold for ever: for the land is mine
; for ye are strangers and sojourners with me.
Exod. 23 [32] Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.[33] They shall not dwell in thy
land , lest they make thee sin against me: for if thou serve
their gods, it will surely be a snare unto thee.
Isa. 14 [25] That I will break the Assyrian in my land, and upon my mountains tread him under
foot: then shall his yoke depart from off them, and his burden depart from off
their shoulders.
Jer. 2 [7] And I brought you into a plentiful country, to eat the
fruit thereof and the goodness thereof; but when ye entered, ye defiled my land , and made mine heritage an
abomination.
Jer. 16 [18] And first I will recompense their
iniquity and their sin double; because they have defiled my land, they have filled mine inheritance with
the carcases of their detestable and abominable
things.
----------
If we take Scripture literally; then we
must come to the conclusion that the nation of Israel is one country and that
Judea and Samaria, known today as the West Bank, is part of Israel-deeded by
God to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
Josh. 1 [1] Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD it came to pass,
that the LORD spake unto
Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying,
[2] Moses my servant is dead; now therefore
arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people,
unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel.
[3] Every place that the sole of your foot shall
tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses.
[4] From the wilderness and this Lebanon even
unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and
unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast.
Read all of Lev. 25
Lev.25 :1 And the LORD spake unto Moses in mount Sinai, saying,
[23] The land shall not
be sold for ever: for the land is mine; for ye are strangers and
sojourners with me.
Gen.12: [1] Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and
from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:
[2] And I will make of thee a great nation, and I
will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt
be a blessing:
[3] And I will bless them that bless thee, and
curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all
families of the earth be blessed.
[4] So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken
unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when
he departed out of Haran.
[5] And Abram took Sarai
his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their substance that they had
gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran; and they went forth to
go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came.
[6] And Abram passed through the land unto the
place of Sichem, unto the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land.
[7] And the LORD appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto the LORD, who appeared unto him.
Gen. 13: [14]
And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was
separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and
southward, and eastward, and westward:
[15] For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.
[16] And I will make thy seed as the dust of the
earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed
also be numbered.
[17] Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the
breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee.
[18] Then Abram
removed his tent, and came and dwelt in the plain of Mamre,
which is in Hebron, and built there an altar unto the LORD.
---
Gen. 24 [7]
The LORD God of heaven, which took me from my
father's house, and from the land of my kindred, and which spake
unto me, and that sware unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land ; he shall
send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take a
wife unto my son from thence.
Gen. 28 [13]
And,
behold, the LORD stood above it, and said, I am the LORD God of Abraham thy
father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou
liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed;
Gen. 35 [12]
And the land which I gave Abraham and Isaac, to thee I will
give it, and to thy seed after thee will I give the land.
Exod. 33 [1]
And the
LORD said unto Moses, Depart, and go up hence, thou and the people which thou
hast brought up out of the land of Egypt, unto the
land which I sware unto Abraham, to Isaac, and to
Jacob, saying, Unto thy seed will I give it:
------------
This Land was not given to the Descendants of Ishmael, but
rather to the Descendants of Isaac
Abraham, Sarah and Isaac / Sara'a maid Hagar
the Egyptian and Ishmael
Gen. 17:18 And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before thee!
[19] And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a
son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I
will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his
seed after him.
[20] And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee:
Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him
exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation.
[21] But my covenant will I establish with Isaac,
which Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year.
Gen. 21 [9] And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had born unto
Abraham, mocking.
[10] Wherefore she said unto Abraham, Cast out
this bondwoman and her son: for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir
with my son, even with Isaac.
[11] And the thing was very grievous
in Abraham's sight because of his son.
[12] And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be
grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all
that Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy
seed be called.
[13] And also of the son of the bondwoman will I
make a nation, because he is thy seed.
-------------
Rom. 9 [6] Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are
not all Israel, which are of Israel:
[7] Neither, because they are the seed of
Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall
thy seed be called.
[8] That is, They which
are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.
------------
Gal. 4 [22] For it is written, that Abraham had two
sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.
[23] But he who was of the bondwoman was born
after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.
[24] Which things are an allegory:
for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.
[25] For this Agar is mount
Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now
is, and is in bondage with her children.
[26] But Jerusalem which is above is free, which
is the mother of us all.
[27] For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that
bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children
than she which hath an husband.
[28] Now we, brethren, as Isaac was,
are the children of promise.
[29] But as then he that was born after the flesh
persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.
[30] Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out
the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with
the son of the freewoman.
[31] So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the
free.
----------
Judaea and Samaria are never called the "west bank"
in scripture
Judaea
and Samaria are part of Israel
[1] And Saul
was consenting unto his death. And at that time there was a great persecution
against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad
throughout the regions of Judaea and Samaria,
except the apostles.
[8] But ye
shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall
be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all
Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
[31] Then
had the churches rest throughout all Judaea and
Galilee and Samaria, and were edified; and walking in the fear of
the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied.
[3] And
being brought on their way by the church, they passed through Phenice and Samaria,
declaring the conversion of the Gentiles: and they caused great joy unto all
the brethren.

The Myth of Palestine Joseph Farar,
Arab-American Journalist
How did Israel become Palestine and who
are the Palestinians? The second Jewish war with the Romans took place
in 132-135 CE. Led by Rabbi Akiva and Simon bar Kochba, the Jewish uprising was crushed by the Roman
Emperor Hadrian who sought to de-Judaize
Jerusalem and make it a pagan city. Hadrian renamed
Jerusalem "Aelia Capitolina"
in honor of Jupiter. He changed the name of Judea and gave it the name of
the Jews ancient enemy, the Philistines. He called it -- Palestine.
Over time, Palestine was ruled by the Roman
Byzantines (312-637) [Persian interrupt 614-629], Omayyad Arabs (638-750),
Islamic Abbassid's (750-1099), Crusaders (1099-1291)
[Saladin the Kurd interrupt 1187-93], Mamluks (1291-1516),
Ottoman Turks (1517-1917), and the British Mandate (1917-1948). None of
these rulers established a sovereign state in the Land and Jerusalem was never
the capital of any empire since the time of King David. Palestine was a
forgotten desolate, wasteland, but historical records show there was always a
Jewish presence in the Land.
The revival of modern Jewish life in the Land
began in the 1880's with the arrival of Russian refugees from the Russian
pogroms. A second wave of immigration, also from Russia, was in 1905. This was
followed by later immigrations resulting in a growing Jewish population in the
Land. When the Jews came to the Land, they found a malaria infested swamp in
the north and an uninhabitable desert in the south. It was as if the God of the
Bible had kept the Land hidden away in obscurity until the rightful owners --
the Jews returned to claim it.
The Jewish pioneers did not steal the Land from
the Arabs. They purchased the Land at highly inflated prices from absentee
landlords living outside the Land. As the Jews worked the Land, it began to
prosper. While there were Jews and Arabs living in the Land, there were many
poor migrant Arab farm workers in the surrounding Arab countries who needed
work. When they heard that the Land was prospering under the hand of the Jews,
they migrated to Palestine to get work from the Jews. Furthermore, the British
allowed many thousands of Arabs into Palestine illegally while barring the Jews
from entering the Land. For the most part, the Arab Palestinians are these
peasant farm workers and illegal aliens.
"Palestinians" have never been a
distinct people, they have never had a sovereign land called Palestine,
Jerusalem has never been their capital, there is no Palestinian language or
culture, and there is no Palestinian people. It is a
myth created after the Jews liberated Jerusalem in 1967.
Before the birth of the State of Israel, Arab
leaders themselves denied the existence of an Arab country called Palestine. In
1937, Arab leader, Auni Bey
Abdul-Hadi said, "There is no such country [as
Palestine]! 'Palestine' is a term the Zionists
invented! There is no Palestine in the Bible. 'Palestine" is alien to us;
it is the Zionists who introduced it." In 1946, a distinguished Princeton
professor and Arab historian said, "There is no such thing as Palestine in
Arab history, absolutely not."
All who lived in the Land, Jews, Arabs, and Christians, were called
Palestinians. In fact, the Jerusalem Post was called the Palestinian Post.
Under the British Mandate, the Palestinian Jews were given a state. But before
this state came into existence, Colonial Secretary, Winston Churchill, in 1922,
took away seventy-seven percent of the geographic area promised to the Jews and
created Transjordan as a state for the Palestinian Arabs. Israel would be for
the Palestinian Jews and Transjordan (now Jordan) for the Palestinian Arabs.
Israel became a state in the War of Independence
in 1948. At that time, approximately 600,000 Arabs fled to become refugee pawns
in the hands of neighboring Arab states. Some number of Arabs stayed to become
Israeli citizens. While we certainly sympathize with the plight of the Arab
refugees, their problems could easily be solved if their Arab brothers cared
enough to assimilate them as the Jews did their own 800,000 immigrants from the
Arab countries.
---------------
The Myth of Palestine Joseph Farar, Arab-American Journalist, Dec. 2000
The 'Palestine' Fantasy
The truth is that 'Palestine' is no
more real than Never-Never Land.
The first time the name was used was in 70 A.D.
when the Romans committed genocide against the Jew, smashed the Temple and
declared the land of Israel would be no more. From then on, the Romans
promised, it would be known as Palestine. The name was derived from the Philistines,
a Goliathian people conquered by the Jews centuries
earlier. It was a way for the Romans to add insult to injury They
also tried to change the name of Jerusalem to Aelia Capitolina, but that had even less staying power.
Palestine has never existed before or since as an
autonomous entity. It was ruled alternately by Rome, by Islamic and Christian
crusaders, by the Ottoman Empire and, briefly by the British after World War I.
The British agreed to restore at least part of the land to the Jewish people as
their homeland.
1) There is no language known as Palestinian.
2) There is no distinct Palestinian culture.
3) There has never been a land known as Palestine
governed by Palestinians.
Palestinians are Arabs, indistinguishable from
Jordanians (another recent invention), Syrians, Lebanese, Iraqis, etc. Keep in
mind that the Arabs control 99.9 percent of the Middle East lands. Israel
represents one-tenth of 1 percent of the landmass.
But that's too much for the Arabs. They want it
all. And that is ultimately what the fighting in Israel is about today: Greed. Pride. Envy. Covetousness.
No matter how many land concessions the Israelis make, it will never be enough.
What about 6/11/04? There are none in Jerusalem.
Shocked? You should be. I don't expect you will ever hear this brutal truth
from anyone else in the international media. It's just not 'politically
correct'. I know what you're going to say: Farah, the Al Aqsa
Mosque and the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem represent Islam's third most holy
sites. Not true. In fact, the Koran says nothing about Jerusalem. It mentions
Mecca hundreds of times. It mentions Medina countless times. It never mentions
Jerusalem. With good reason. There is no historical
evidence to suggest Mohammed ever visited Jerusalem.
So how did Jerusalem become the third
holiest site of Islam?
Muslims today cite a vague passage in the Koran,
the seventeenth Sura, entitled The Night Journey. It
relates that in a dream or a vision Mohammed was carried by night from the
sacred temple to the temple that is most remote, whose precinct we have
blessed, that we might show him our signs... In the seventh century some
Muslims identified the two temples mentioned in this verse as being in Mecca
and Jerusalem. And that is as close as Islam's connection with Jerusalem
gets--myth, fantasy wishful thinking.
Meanwhile, Jews can trace their roots in
Jerusalem back to the days of Abraham.
