Correspondence with Jonathan in Israel

Correspondence with Jonathan in Israel

I read your article on Sabbath keeping and the holy days. I only can say that you are not required to keep them, according to Jewish law

I realize according to traditional Jewish law they say it is not necessary, and some even say we should be put to death! However, the Word of God that such traditions woefully ignore reveal that God has given the holy days to Israel to share with the whole world as they represent God's plan of salvation for all mankind, even as the Third Temple will be a house of prayer for all peoples with no mention of division in Ezekiel between Gentiles and Israelites any longer.

A House of Prayer for All Peoples?

As for the Sabbath, it has been in existence since Creation and Adam and Eve were not Jewish! Just like the dietary laws have been in existence since Creation with Noah taking into the Ark clean animals by seven and unclean animals by two. I prefer the Word of God over Jewish or "Christian" tradition. The prophecies also reveal that King Messiah will command ALL nations to keep the biblical festivals of the LORD or suffer the consequences. This truth is completely contrary to traditional Jewish law and "Christian" tradition.

Hostility Against "Jewish Holidays" to be History!

but in ancient times even many gentile people came to celebrate some major Jewish holy days with us, until repressive laws made that impossible to continue. So you are rekindling an ancient and forgotten path

Actually, the Anglo-Saxons and white peoples of Northwestern Europe are not Gentile - we are Gentilized Israelites. By the grace of God, I am helping to restore our Israelite identity and return our "Lost Ten Tribes" to the biblical ways and holy days and encouraging all to move beyond Babylon.

The Jewish political and religious leaders ought to recognize Joseph and call out to us to join in biblical celebrations in Jerusalem before our Great Creator God like King Hezekiah nobly did.

Jude 1:3
I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints [in Jerusalem, not Rome].

Jeremiah 6:16
"Thus saith Yahweh, stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk there in, and ye shall find rest to your souls. But they said, we will not walk therein."

Jeremiah 16:19
O LORD, my strength and my fortress, My refuge in the day of affliction, The Gentiles shall come to You From the ends of the earth and say, "Surely our fathers have inherited lies, Worthlessness and unprofitable things."

1 Corinthians 10:19-21
19 What am I saying then? That an idol is anything, or what is offered to idols is anything? 20 Rather, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice they sacrifice to demons and not to God, and I do not want you to have fellowship with demons. 21 You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the Lord’s table and of the table of demons.

2 Corinthians 6:14-18
14 Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? 15 And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? 16 And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said:

"I will dwell in them
And walk among them.
I will be their God,
And they shall be My people."


2 Chronicles 30:1-11

1 And Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and also wrote letters to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, to keep the Passover to the LORD God of Israel. 2 For the king and his leaders and all the assembly in Jerusalem had agreed to keep the Passover in the second month. 3 For they could not keep it at the regular time, because a sufficient number of priests had not consecrated themselves, nor had the people gathered together at Jerusalem. 4 And the matter pleased the king and all the assembly. 5 So they resolved to make a proclamation throughout all Israel, from Beersheba to Dan, that they should come to keep the Passover to the LORD God of Israel at Jerusalem, since they had not done it for a long time in the prescribed manner.

6 Then the runners went throughout all Israel and Judah with the letters from the king and his leaders, and spoke according to the command of the king: "Children of Israel, return to the LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel; then He will return to the remnant of you who have escaped from the hand of the kings of Assyria. 7 And do not be like your fathers and your brethren, who trespassed against the LORD God of their fathers, so that He gave them up to desolation, as you see. 8 Now do not be stiff-necked, as your fathers were, but yield yourselves to the LORD; and enter His sanctuary [this includes the Land of Israel where Israelite representatives ought to be encouraged to move to], which He has sanctified forever, and serve the LORD your God, that the fierceness of His wrath may turn away from you. 9 For if you return to the LORD, your brethren and your children will be treated with compassion by those who lead them captive, so that they may come back to this land; for the LORD your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn His face from you if you return to Him."

10 So the runners passed from city to city through the country of Ephraim and Manasseh, as far as Zebulun; but they laughed at them and mocked them [often this is the same response the servants of God receive today by our proud and stubborn Israelite peoples who prefer their Gentile traditions to biblical truth and by smug Jewish brethren who want to remain exclusivist]. 11 Nevertheless some from Asher, Manasseh, and Zebulun humbled themselves and came to Jerusalem.

Joseph Isn't Jewish!

Not All Twelve Tribes of Israel are Jewish?

Israel and Judah Must Get House in Order Before King Messiah Arrives

I did not know that you had Jewish cousins, but I saw that a family named Israel Ort was in your vicinity on previous census records.

Israel Ort is my great Grandfather on my father's maternal side. I'm at a standstill on my father's paternal side - the Hoover's. My great great Grandfather Abraham Hoover took off with the maid (and left his wife Anne Creeger behind) and has never been found. Some relative contacted me and said he was born in Pennsylvania and such but it doesn't appear sure.

German-American Israelites?

The Family of Joseph Hoover

Your family farm sounds wonderful, and I hope that you will not leave this world without any offspring. Such a kind and devout person as yourself must be duplicated.

I trust God will give me a name in His Kingdom that will last forever. As for this mortal life, I am "gay" (against my religious beliefs) and have AIDS, so it's not likely I'll have any sons or daughters although I would consider such tremendous blessings - unlike so many "sperm donors" (they're not fit to be called fathers as they're not involved in their children's lives and have merely impregnated women).

I pray for you that you will be protected from harm and will prosper and grow in your spiritual path to Hashem.

Such a gracious letter that is most appreciated! May the Eternal bless us to worship Him in His House of Prayer for All Peoples.

Rep. Ron Paul: Recapturing the Spirit of Independence

Ron Paul's Texas Straight Talk - A weekly Column

Recapturing the Spirit of Independence

July 2, 2007

This week Americans will gather around the grill, attend parades and watch fireworks displays, all in the celebration of the signing of our Declaration of Independence. At the same time, we will have thousands of bureaucrats, troops and agents stationed in countries across the globe being paid by American tax dollars.

On the anniversary of our declaring our own independence from the British, it is certainly appropriate that we reflect on the nature and spirit of independent nationhood. While our founding fathers were individual men in a historically unique situation, they posited that the principles upon which they rested our national independence were timeless.

If we truly honor the men who brought about Independence Day, we would do well to spend at least as much time reflecting on the Declaration of Independence, and the principles upon which it is based, as we spend at the cookouts, parades, and fireworks displays. With the trend toward globalism that has been with us for the past century, we should be specifically thoughtful about how our celebration of independence can be made consistent with the policies that have been advocated by the American government -- as well as many of the nation’s elite— or what we used to call the Eastern Establishment.

I believe there is no way to square our nation’s traditions and reverence for independence with the globalist policies these elites are currently pursuing. The American concept of independent nationhood inscribed in our Declaration cannot be maintained if we are going to pursue a policy that undermines the independence of other nations. National independence is an idea, and the erosion of the independence of other nations only serves to erode that idea.

At the same time, if we allow the erosion of that idea, by ignoring it in certain instances, we will be contributing to its erosion in all times and nations, even our own. In this way our nation’s independence is linked with the independence of all nations. The sooner we realize this truth, and enact a foreign policy that is consistent with it, the sooner we will be able to recapture the spirit of independence.

In addition, as our founding fathers understood, the idea of national independence is inseparable from that of constitutional republicanism. Only the safe-guards and limitations that are enshrined in a constitutionally-limited republic can prohibit a nation from lurching toward empire. Recognizing these same protections is also the very best way to eliminate the need for civil wars and the violence of civil strife.

Moreover, this constitutional republicanism is essential to protecting the individual rights and self-determination that is at the heart of our Declaration. As we celebrate the 231ist anniversary of our nation’s birth, I hope every person who reads or hears this will take the time to go back and read the Declaration of Independence. Only by recapturing the spirit of independence can we ensure our government never resembles the one from which the American States declared their separation.

Jews for Joseph!

The Prophets foretell the "Lost Ten Tribes of Israel" (Joseph) will again be revealed before the whole world, and the Jews will embrace the British-Israelites as brethren. Joes and Jews are destined to have a historic family reunion and it's already begun!

Terrorist Bombing

Terrorist Bombing
Sir, - “Nobody in the government and nobody who believes in democracy is ever going to give in to this people, not now, not tomorrow, not in 100 years, not in 1,000 years and not on this side of hell and hell is where these people ought to be.”
A Knesset member's outburst after another terrorist attack? No, rather it's Northern Ireland's Minister Richard Weedham blasting the IRA's recent hospital bombing.
Perhaps Messrs. Bush and Baker will rush to the scene and convene another “peace” conference before this “intransigent” fellow fouls up their plans for a “new world order....”

Expulsion of Palestinians
Sir, - Mass expulsion of Palestinians without howls of protest and world condemnation? Yes, but unfortunately, only in the Gulf States. The UN obviously understands that such decisive acts are preventive measures to ensure national security from subversive elements who flout their support for their blood-brother Saddam Hussein.
If only Israel would express such logic and concern for its personal health and national welfare...

EU Army Under German Command?

German politicians call for a "supra-national European army"

A number of leading MPs from the governing German SPD party have called on EU members to “integrate our national armies into a supra-national army, a European army.” In their report – “On the Way towards a European army” – they argue that, “National armies within an increasingly strong, supranational EU will gradually develop into relics of the last century... We should build on the successes of the European unification process, and as an expression of our common security interests we should have the courage to initiate a development at the end of which we have a European army.” They point out that the process has already got underway, “we are not starting from scratch. Especially in the fifteen years following the end of the division of Europe, in other words since 1990, the EU has made great progress in closer cooperation on security and defence policy. Step by step, we have steadily advanced, even if from time to time our achievements are obscured by talk of crises and widespread Euro-scepticism.” They conclude, “As Social Democrats in Europe we want to take the initiative of embarking on the road to a European army. For decades Germany has lived in peace with its neighbours, many are our fellow members in NATO and the EU. We are ready to enter into a process at the end of which we integrate our national armies into a supra-national army, a European army.”

"As Birds Flying" (Jerusalem's liberation by British-Israelites in 1917)

"As Birds Flying"

Jerusalem, 1917 - One of the most amazing events of our times!

In these days, when on the one hand, unbelief and disregard for the Bible message are widespread, while on the other hand, so many signs point to the near return of our Lord, it is vital that we face up to the irrefutable evidence of this fulfilled prophecy, as a "light that shineth in a dark place..." (2.PET 1:19).

It is because of this indisputable proof that the writer continues to feel constrained to draw attention to Jerusalem, 1917. God's promise, given more than 2,600 years before the event, was fulfilled in the exact manner - "As birds flying" - indicated by Isaiah 31:5; in the exact year, 1917, foretold by Daniel 12:12, and on the exact day given by Haggai 2:18-20.

To those with eyes to see and ears to hear, this great event, probably the greatest since Pentecost, proclaims that God is working His purpose out and the time for the Lord's Return is drawing near (MATT 25:13).

Jerusalem, the most famous city in the world, was delivered from its centuries long domination by the Turks, on the 9th-11th December, 1917, by British forces under the command of General Allenby.

In the book 'Light For The Last Days' by Dr. Grattan Guinness (written in 1886), he pointed out that the one thousand three hundred and thirty five days of Daniel 12:12 (on the prophetic scale given in Numbers 14:34 and Ezekiel 4:6 - "each day for a year") were due to expire in 1917. Turning to the Book of Daniel we find that chapter nine records Daniel's prayer concerning his home-town Jerusalem, and his own people of Judah. Therefore the 'blessing' evidently indicated something good for Jerusalem in 1917.

Here we have fulfilment indeed. The city, as we know, was delivered. The oppressor was driven out, and a new epoch for both city and people commenced in A.D.1917 (The Moslem year - 1335) as had been foretold nearly twenty-five centuries before.

The date opposite 1917 is the Arabic for 1335.

The table below presents a comparison of the Arabic numerical system (on the top line), with our modern international numeric system (below).

Further Proof

The writer felt led to apply the prophetic scale "each day for a year" to the other two time measures given in Daniel 12 verses 7-11. Commencing with the rise of the desolating Moslem power (A.D. 622), and using the lunar year measure, the complete result was as follows:

A.D. 622 Verse 7 Verse 11 Verse 12

Time, times
and a half
(i.e. 1260 days)		 1290 days 1335 days

A.D. 1844 A.D. 1873 A.D. 1917

The year 1844 is at once recognised as being the year in which the Powers compelled the Sultan of Turkey to sign the Decree of Toleration, abolishing the death penalty for conversion from Mohammedanism.

This was a definite stage in breaking the power of Islam. The question immediately arose: what was the significance of the year 1873? The answer was found in a book entitled 'A Short History Of The Jewish People' by Cecil Roth. Writing of the origin of the modern anti-Jewish movement in Germany towards the last quarter of the nineteenth century, he shows that the movement owes its inception to the year 1873.


The Exact Day

Even more remarkable is the fact that the actual day of the month on which the Holy City was delivered is very definitely marked in the inspired message of the prophet Haggai. A message of blessing is brought to God's people by Haggai (HAG 2:15-18); it was given on the four and twentieth day of the ninth month. The ninth month of the Hebrew year is Kislev. Therefore, we may recognise here again the finger of God in the deliverance of Jerusalem, when we find that it occurred on the exact date of the blessing foretold through Haggai twenty-four centuries beforehand; for in 1917 the 24th Kislev fell on December 9th.

Furthermore, all Jewish days begin at the previous sunset, and from the beginning of 24th Kislev (sunset on December 8, 1917), and all through the night, Turkish troops were evacuating the Holy City.

By early morning all had gone, and soon after 8 a.m. on December 9th (24th Kislev), the Mayor of Jerusalem and a small party, under a white flag, were seen coming from the Holy City to surrender the keys of the city to the British commander.

Divine foreknowledge alone can account for these facts. There is another curious fact concerning this event, which emphasises God's over-ruling power. The Turks had a saying which seems to remind us of the incident recorded in 2. Kings 7:1-18, where the 'impossible' happened. In their boast that the sword of Islam should hold sway over the land, they used the words to imply the impossibility of overthrowing their domination, saying, "When the waters of the Nile flow into Palestine, then will a prophet of the Lord come and drive the Turks out of this land," signifying that as surely as it was impossible for the waters of the Nile to flow across the many miles of desert to Palestine, so it was impossible that men could drive them out.

The 'impossible' happened those centuries ago at the gate of Samaria and the 'impossible' happened in this case. In order to supply our troops crossing the desert, the waters of the Nile were brought by a pipe-line, which they laid under the Suez Canal and across the desert. Not only this, but the great leader who drove the Turks out was named Allenby, which in its Arabic version became 'Allah-en-Nebi', or 'prophet of God'.

Christian apologists, and preachers, sometimes tell us that one cannot prove the existence of God - one can only believe; but here we have accumulated evidence which demonstrates conclusively, not only the existence, but the omniscience and Almighty Power of God, as well as the truth and exactitude of His written Word, the Bible.
