Joseph F. Dumond

Isa 6:9-12 And He said, Go, and tell this people, You hear indeed, but do not understand; and seeing you see, but do not know. Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their hearts, and turn back, and be healed. Then I said, Lord, how long? And He answered, Until the cities are wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land laid waste, a desolation, and until Jehovah has moved men far away, and the desolation in the midst of the land is great.

12th New Crescent Moon

This coming Wednesday, February 6, 2019, we are expecting the new Crescent Moon to be seen from Israel. This will be the start of the 12th month. Do go out and practice looking for the moon with your whole family and see who can find it first. We want you to practice so that you know how to do it and also so that once you do this you will then understand how no man can know the day or the hour which is the clue for the Feast of Trumpets and the day Yehshua was both born on in 3 BC and the day He will come back on in the future.

The reason I want you to practice now is because the next one to begin the 1st month is a very critical sighting and each year is full of controversy. I expect it to be no different this year. We will explain this in next weeks News Letter.

And post your comments here if you saw it and what time and where. And if you did not see it as well. Thank you.

The White Horse

This week’s News Letter is turning out to be very depressing as I put it together.

But around the world, there is a phenomenon taking place that is shocking and terrifying to watch. So rather than have me explain it to you, I will let you watch these three short videos on this explosive conversion rate that is taking place in South and Central America as well as in North America. But before you do you need to read Revelation and the seals of Rev 6

Rev 6:1 Now I watched when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures say with a voice like thunder, “Come!” And I looked, and behold, a white horse! And its rider had a bow, and a crown was given to him, and he came out conquering, and to conquer.

When he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, “Come!” And out came another horse, bright red. Its rider was permitted to take peace from the earth, so that people should slay one another, and he was given a great sword.
When he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come!” And I looked, and behold, a black horse! And its rider had a pair of scales in his hand. And I heard what seemed to be a voice in the midst of the four living creatures, saying, “A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius, and do not harm the oil and wine!”

When he opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, “Come!” And I looked, and behold, a pale horse! And its rider’s name was Death, and Hades followed him. And they were given authority over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword and with famine and with pestilence and by wild beasts of the earth.

When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the witness they had borne. They cried out with a loud voice, “O Sovereign Lord, holy and true, how long before you will judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?” Then they were each given a white robe and told to rest a little longer, until the number of their fellow servants and their brothers should be complete, who were to be killed as they themselves had been.

 

 

 

 

Rev 6:2  And I saw. And behold a white horse! And he sitting on it had a bow. And a crown was given to him, and he went forth conquering and to conquer.

The white horse is not the Messiah, as some religions suppose. No, the white horse is a false religion. It is Islam and it is also Christianity. Both have past and present history to show how they forced those they subdued to accept the conquering religion. But I also want to point out the bow. Yehshua is always depicted with a two-edged sword coming out of His mouth, indicating the word of Torah cutting like a two-edged sword. The bow, on the other hand, is represented by the Hunters who are now coming.

We have our first example of a mighty hunter in Gen and the father of all false religion.

Gen 10:8 Cush fathered Nimrod; he was the first on earth to be a mighty man. He was a mighty hunter before the Lord. Therefore it is said, “Like Nimrod a mighty hunter before the Lord.”

The next hunter I want to point out is Ishmael.

Gen 16:11  and the messenger of Jehovah saith to her, `Behold thou art conceiving, and bearing a son, and hast called his name Ishmael, for Jehovah hath hearkened unto thine affliction; 12  and he is a wild-ass man, his hand against every one, and every one’s hand against him–and before the face of all his brethren he dwelleth.’

Gen 21:17  And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he is. 18  Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand; for I will make him a great nation. 19  And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad drink. 20  And God was with the lad; and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.

Here we can see that Ishmael is an archer. And as we read further in Genesis we learn that Esau was also a skilled hunter with the bow.

Gen 25:27  And the boys grew. And Esau was a man knowing hunting, and Jacob was a simple man, living in tents.

Gen 27:1  And it happened when Isaac was old and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see, he called his oldest son Esau and said to him, My son. And he said to him, Behold, I am here. 2  And he said to him, Behold, here am I. And he said, Behold now, I am old, I do not know the day of my death. 3  And now please take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field and hunt game for me. 4  And make tasty meat for me, such as I love, and bring to me so that I may eat, that my soul may bless you before I die.

We read how Isaac was tricked into blessing Jacob, but Isaac had another blessing for Esau.

Gen 27:32  And his father Isaac said to him, Who are you? And he said, I am your son, your first-born, Esau. 33  And Isaac trembled with a great trembling, and said, Who then was the one who has hunted deer and brought to me, and I have eaten of all before you came, and have blessed him? Yea, he shall be blessed! 34  And when Esau heard the voice of his father, he cried with a great and exceeding bitter cry, and said to his father, Bless me, me also, O my father! 35  And he said, Your brother came with deceit, and has taken away your blessing. 36  And he said, It is because his name is called Jacob? For he has supplanted me these two times: he took away my birthright, and behold, now he has taken away my blessing. And he said, Have you not reserved a blessing for me? 37  And Isaac answered and said to Esau, Behold! I have made him your lord, and all his brothers I have given him for servants. And with grain and wine I have supported him. And what shall I do now to you, my son? 38  And Esau said to his father, Have you but one blessing, my father? Bless me, me also, my father. And Esau lifted up his voice and wept. 39  And Isaac his father answered and said to him, Behold! Your dwelling shall be of the fatness of the earth and of the dew of heaven from above. 40  And by your sword you shall live, and shall serve your brother. And it shall be when you shall have the dominion, you shall break his yoke from off your neck. 41  And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father had blessed him. And Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at hand. Then I will kill my brother Jacob.

Pay close attention to the words in verse 40.

40  And by your sword you shall live, and shall serve your brother. And it shall be when you shall have the dominion, you shall break his yoke from off your neck.

This word for dominion is;

H7300     ????     ru?d     rood

A primitive root; to tramp about, that is, ramble (free or disconsolate): – have the dominion, be lord, mourn, rule.

Now I have an assignment for you all. Before you read any further, go and watch the teaching on Assyria because I am not going to explain all of this again here. As you watch the video, make note of the word dominion, or trample. And consider these things in light of what I explain in the video about Assyria. Ishmael and Esau are the hunters. Islam is the religion that is going to conquer. Why, you may ask?

Because Israel, all 13 tribes, would not heed the voice of those Yehovah sent to lure Israel back to the Torah.

Jer 16:14 So, behold, the days come, says Jehovah, that it shall no more be said, As Jehovah lives, who brought up the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt; 15but, As Jehovah lives, who brought up the sons of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the lands where He had driven them. And I will bring them again into their lands that I gave to their fathers. 16Behold, I will send for many fishermen, says Jehovah, and they will fish them. And afterwards I will send for many hunters, and they will hunt them from every mountain and from every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks. 17For My eyes are on all their ways; they are not hidden from My face, nor is their iniquity hidden from My eyes. 18And first I will twice repay their iniquity and their sin, because they have defiled My land, they have filled My inheritance with the dead bodies of their abominable things.

Yehovah is now preparing the hunters who are in the process of throwing off the yoke of Jacob, and are now about to go hunt all 13 tribes of Israel and kill 90% of them. It is now time to keep the Sabbath, the Holy Days of Lev 23 and not add any others to them. And you must keep the Sabbatical year in 2023 if you want any hope of being protected from all that is about to come.

The second horseman is the red horse.

Rev 6:3  And when He had opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, Come and see. 4  And another, a red horse, went out. And power was given to him sitting on it, to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another. And there was given to him a great sword.

We have been warning you now for years that the 4th curse of Lev 26 is the curse of the sword. But you can also see that where Islam goes the sword and fighting follow, just as the prophecy to Esau said. By the sword would Esau live.

Lev 26:25  And I will bring a sword on you that shall execute the vengeance of the covenant. And when you are gathered inside your cities, I will send the plague among you. And you shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy. 26  When I have broken the staff of your bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver you your bread again by weight. And you shall eat and not be satisfied.

This 4th Sabbatical cycle is when this 4th curse is to come. And if that scares you enough to begin to obey, then awesome. I have been accused of fear-mongering by hypocritical leaders. It is Yehovah who is going to scare the tar out of all of those who will not obey. Are you one of those stubborn and rebellious ones who refuse to keep the Sabbath, and Holy Days of Lev 23 and the Sabbatical year?

War is coming and it racing to get to you.

The 3rd horse of Revelation 6 is the black one.

Rev 6:5  And when He had opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, Come and see. And I looked, and lo, a black horse. And he sitting on it had a balance in his hand. 6  And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures say, A choenix of wheat for a denarius, and three choenixes of barley for a denarius. And do not hurt the oil and the wine.

Have you connected the dots yet? This third horse comes after, and during, and because of this war. This war that comes as a result of the white horse and false religion. Because that white horse is out there forcing you to convert to its way of thinking. YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BE RAPTURED OUT OF HERE!!!!

Because you do not keep the commandments, because you will not keep the 7th Day Sabbath or the Holy Days of Lev 23 according to the sighted moon to begin the month and the barley being aviv to begin the year, and because you will not keep the Sabbatical year the next one is in 2023 – because you will not do this, you will eat your own flesh and be starving continuously.

Lev 26:26  When I have broken the staff of your bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver you your bread again by weight. And you shall eat and not be satisfied. 27  And if you will not for all of this listen to Me, but will walk contrary to Me, 28  then I will walk contrary to you also in fury. And I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins. 29  And you shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters you shall eat.

The 4th horse is the pale one and it represents death. One-quarter of the earth’s population is going to die by sword and famine and be eaten by animals.

Rev 6:7 And when He had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, Come and see. 8 And I looked, and behold, a pale horse. And the name of him sitting on it was Death, and Hell followed with him. And authority was given to them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with the sword and with hunger and with death and by the beasts of the earth.

I want you all to once again notice those of the 5th seal here. These are the saints, those who keep the commandments. These are some of you, brethren.

9 And when He had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the Word of God, and for the testimony which they held. 10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, Until when, Master, holy and true, do You not judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth? 11 And white robes were given to each one of them. And it was said to them that they should rest yet for a little time, until both their fellow servants and their brothers (those about to be killed, as they were ) should have their number made complete. 12 And when He had opened the sixth seal, I looked, and behold, there was a great earthquake. And the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood.

That word slain in verse 9 is butchered and slaughtered;

G4969    ??????    sphazo?    sfad’-zo

A primary verb; to butcher (especially an animal for food or in sacrifice) or (generally) to slaughter, or (specifically) to maim (violently): – kill, slay, wound.

Understand what is going on here, brethren. Those of you who will not obey are going to be slaughtered and butchered and have your heads cut off. Tell me what group of people do that today. You can see them on the nightly news.

Rev 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the witness of Jesus and for the Word of God, and who had not worshiped the beast nor his image, nor had received his mark on their foreheads, nor in their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 5 But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. 6 Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. The second death has no authority over these, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and will reign with Him a thousand years.

The 6th seal of Revelation 6 is about the moon being turned to blood and the sun going into eclipse.

12 And when He had opened the sixth seal, I looked, and behold, there was a great earthquake. And the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood.

Psa 119:18  Open my eyes, so that I may behold wonderful things out of Your Law.

May our Father Yehovah, open up the eyes of your people to see the truths You have revealed about the Sabbatical and Jubilee years, the facts that are so obvious. Help them to see these truths.

Yehovah has sent fishers of men to you who have patiently shown you the Torah in order to persuade you to come back and keep it with Yehovah.

But you would not listen and you would not turn back. Instead, you mocked and belittled those He sent you and you then killed them.

Yehshua said this to you.

Mat 22:1 And Jesus answered and spoke to them again by parables, and said, 2 The kingdom of Heaven is like a certain king who made a marriage for his son. 3 And he sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding; and they would not come. 4 Again he sent out other servants, saying, Tell those who are invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and fatlings are killed, and all things are ready. Come to the marriage. 5 But not caring, they went their ways, one to his field, another to his trading. 6 And the rest took his servants and treated them spitefully, and killed them.

We have shown you how the Muslim faith comes in the beginning as a small group and are “the religion of peace” when they are the minority. And as they grow and become the majority they then begin to force and subjugate their host nation until they have conquered it. And once they do that, they enslave the females who are not Muslim.

Read the rest of Matthew 22 now.

Mat 22:7 But when the king heard, he was angry. And he sent out his armies and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city. 8 Then he said to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they who were invited were not worthy. 9 Therefore go into the exits of the highways, and as many as you shall find, invite them to the marriage.

The King is Yehovah and the wedding is the one you are invited to with our Groom the Messiah at the Feast of Tabernacles. The army that Yehovah is sending is the Red Horse of Rev 6 and is already here and assembling. According to the Sabbatical and Jubilee cycles war is the 4th curse and it begins in 2017 and goes for 7 years until 2023. The Sabbatical Cycle we are now in

That Army is made up of the Muslim hoards and they will be united with or directed by the Iron fist of Assyria who are the German people today. This is the toes of iron and clay of Daniel’s image. Arab means mixture which is what the iron is with the clay.

WAR IS COMING!!! And it is Yehovah that is sending it to you Israel, to you the USA and UK and Canada and Australia and New Zealand; because you would not come back to keeping the Torah at the request of those fishers of men. So now the hunters gather and the hunters cometh and you will be the prey and you will be the victim.

The reason the hunters come is the same as the reason the fishers of men were sent. So that you would turn back to Yehovah and keep the Torah. You refused the Fishermen and now the hunters will treat you so bad that you will beg for Yehovah to come and help and He will not hear you until you repent, which means you must begin to keep Torah and mean it.

Deuteronomy 30:1-3 “And it shall be, when all these words come upon you, the blessing and the curse which I have set before you, and you shall bring them back to your heart among all the gentiles where Yehovah your Elohim drives you, 2 and shall turn back to Yehovah your Elohim and obey His voice, according to all that I command you today, with all your heart and with all your being, you and your children, 3 then Yehovah your Elohim shall turn back your captivity, and shall have compassion on you, and He shall turn back and gather you from all the peoples where Yehovah your Elohim has scattered you.

THE HUNTERS AND THE FISHERS

Jeremiah 16:16: “Behold I will send for many fishers, saith Yehovah, and they shall fish them; and after will I send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks.”

Matthew 4:19: “And he said unto them, Follow me and I will make you fishers of men.”

At this juncture, we can no longer say no one ever told us who the “hunters” are, or the people for whom they were “hunting”! As a matter of fact, our Redeemer made it quite clear who the people were to whom He was sent when He instructed His disciples,

Matthew 10:5-6:“5 These twelve Yehshua sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles (heathen), and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: 6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the HOUSE of Israel.”

This passage is reinforced by Yehshua the Messiah Himself when He said, Matthew 15:24:

“… I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”

This coincides perfectly with Amos 3:2 where Yehovah speaks of Israel:

“You only (Israel) have I known of all the families of the earth …”

These passages are also in accord with Deuteronomy 7:6 where it states:

“For thou art an holy (set apart) people unto Yehovah thy Mighty One: Yehovah thy Mighty One hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.”

But because you have rejected HIm he is now rejecting you and has already sent the hunters who are now assembling their armies around this earth as we speak.

It is time brethren, it is High time.

New York-Pro Abortion at any term

Last week we told you how 60 Million babies in the USA alone had been murdered since the 1973 Roe v Wade decision in favour of abortions. We showed you how this number was larger than all those killed in WW I and was soon going to pass all of those killed in WW II. We also showed you how around the world about 42 Million babies were murdered.

Then this week in New York,

Gov. Andrew Cuomo of New York has signed into law new measures to protect and expand abortion rights across the state.

On Tuesday night, after passing the Senate and the Assembly, the Reproductive Health Act received its final approval from the governor.

The law essentially codifies the landmark decision made in Roe v. Wade 46 years ago to allow abortion, thus protecting it in the event that Roe v. Wade is overturned in the future, something which Democrats fear could occur under a conservative-led Supreme Court.

It seems to me that there is a fight for the sole of the USA between the liberals and the conservatives. But this battle is going to be won by the Liberal left and it is going to bring on the demise of what was once a great nation.

 

Five Times President Trump Has Worked to Defund the Planned Parenthood Abortion Business

NATIONAL   MICAIAH BILGER   DEC 7, 2018

President Donald Trump and his administration have worked to defund Planned Parenthood and other abortion businesses in numerous ways during the past two years.

Some efforts have been successful, while others have been thwarted by the abortion industry and activist judges. But no one can accuse the Trump administrating of doing nothing to stop our hard-earned tax dollars from supporting the largest abortion chain in America.

First, Trump signed the Mexico City policy in one of his first acts as president. The pro-life policy prohibits American tax dollars to groups that promote or provide abortions overseas. The move defunded two major abortion chains of hundreds of millions of American tax dollars. The International Planned Parenthood Federation alone estimated a $100 million loss from its budget.

The Mexico City policy, which began with President Ronald Reagan, historically has been supported by pro-life presidents and rescinded by pro-abortion presidents. Trump went further though. He not only reinstated the policy but also expanded it by increasing the number of global health assistance funds and government programs that are covered under the policy.

Second, the Trump administration stopped funding a United Nations agency linked to forced and coerced abortions. The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) “partners on family planning activities with the Chinese government agency responsible for these coercive policies,” the administration said in defense of its decision. China’s oppressive one child policy, recently changed to a two-child limit, has led to forced and coerced abortions up through nine months of pregnancy, as well as forced and coerced sterilizations.

The UNFPA has worked hand-in-hand with Planned Parenthood to promote abortion worldwide and Planned Parenthood was caught sharing offices in China with UNFPA as they together promoted coercive population control there.

The spring 2017 decision stopped at least $32.5 million tax dollars from funding the pro-abortion agency in 2017, the Associated Press reported at the time. The Trump administration redirected the funds to the U.S. Agency for International Development, which provides medical care to families across the world.

However, the Trump administration’s third effort to defund Planned Parenthood is being challenged in court. In February, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services introduced a new Title X grant application that prioritizes sexual risk avoidance strategies, including abstinence, and the introduction of natural family planning in addition to artificial contraception.

The move could defund Planned Parenthood of up to $60 million in tax dollars annually, but it currently is on hold because of a lawsuit filed by Planned Parenthood.

A fourth effort to cut funding from the abortion chain also is being challenged in court.

In 2017, the Trump administration announced plans to cut millions of dollars in grants to Planned Parenthood through the failed Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program. HHS spokesman Mark Vafiades told the New York Times last year that there is very little evidence that the program was successful. The cuts amounted to about $200 million in grants to the abortion chain and other participants.

However, Planned Parenthood also is suing to block the cuts.

Another one of the Trump administration’s efforts has been more successful.

In January, Trump signed an executive order so states have more latitude and control over taxpayer funds to Planned Parenthood and other abortion groups. The Department of Health and Human Services announced that the administration was rescinding Obama-era Medicaid guideline that limited the way states could take action against Planned Parenthood.

After Planned Parenthood was exposed for allegedly selling the body parts of aborted babies, many states wanted to revoke taxpayer funding for the abortion company. However the Obama Administration made it difficult for states to do that by claiming federal control over Medicaid dollars even though states participate with their own taxpayer funds and the federal program. Trump changed that, and a number of states have since taken action to defund Planned Parenthood.

Planned Parenthood is the largest abortion business in America, aborting approximately 320,000 unborn babies every year. Its 2016 annual report showed a record income of $1.46 billion, with about half a billion dollars coming from taxpayers.

In the past two years, the Trump administration has worked to defund Planned Parenthood and other pro-abortion causes, including grants for scientific research using aborted baby body parts. It also is investigating whether Planned Parenthood illegally sold aborted baby parts and broke HIPAA patient privacy laws.

Hard BREXIT- Coming Up

Here is the latest on the BREXIT voting that took place this past Tuesday, January 29, 2019, in the UK to avoid a HArd BREXIT.

Markets were focused on Amendment B, proposed by Ms Cooper, which sought to shift control from the government to Parliament and introduce a binding postponement in the Brexit process. Labour MP Yvette Cooper’s amendment failed to win enough votes.

If successful, it could have given lawmakers who want to block or renegotiate Brexit a legal route to do so. But it was defeated by 321 votes to 298.

Amendment G by Dominic Grieve, the pro-EU Conservative MP, which would have given lawmakers a chance to propose their own Brexit debates in parliament in February and March, was also voted down, with 321 voters against and only 301 votes in favour.

Labour MP Rachel Reeves’ amendment, which would have required the government to extend Article 50 without a deal before 26 February, was also defeated.

But an amendment by Conservative MP Caroline Spelman and Labour MP Jack Dromey did pass, 318 votes to 310. It was a non-binding call on the government to rule out leaving without a deal.

MPs also in favour of a proposal which calls on the government to replace the so-called Northern Irish backstop with alternative arrangements. The amendment, put forward by influential Conservative lawmaker Graham Brady, won 317 votes to 301.

Prime Minister Theresa May hopes it will strengthen her hand when she returns to Brussels to try to renegotiate the Brexit deal.

We warned you two weeks ago what was one of the possible outcomes of a Hard BEXIT and more large businesses are now saying the same thing and people are beginning to stock up on food. It is simply unimaginable to think about the UK being in a famine. Yet Yehovah warned us it was going to come if we did not obey His commandments.

 

 

It is a simple warning to focus the minds of politicians and those they lead in the midst of a British winter.

With just 60 days until Brexit, the UK’s biggest and most powerful food retailers have warned Members of Parliament that leaving the European Union without a deal on March 29 would threaten food security.

The chief executives of supermarket chains Sainsbury’s, Asda and Waitrose, retail group Marks and Spencer as well as fast food giants McDonald’s and KFC are among the 12 signatories on the letter from the British Retail Consortium (BRC).

They warn the “just-in-time” or fresh supply chain will be significantly disrupted in the event of a no-deal scenario.

The BRC says that in March the UK gets 90 per cent of its lettuces, 80 per cent of its tomatoes and 70 per cent of its soft fruit from the EU — all perishable produce that needs to be moved quickly from farm to store.

It is a stark message that the fresh, unprocessed food on dinner plates around the nation is not a given but a delight that could be taken away by Brexit.

And a no-deal Brexit is certainly a live option.

Here is another large group saying the same thing.

 

Groceries giant Greencore warns hard Brexit risks food shortages

The head of one of the UK’s biggest food companies on Wednesday raised the prospect of Brexit shortages amid mounting alarm among firms over crashing out of the EU without a deal.

Patrick Coveney, chief executive of Greencore, told a conference in Dublin that it was “not inconceivable” that shortages could strike as a result of logistical problems following a hard Brexit, as lorries queue up at ports.

Coveney, whose firm makes two thirds of the country’s pre-packed sandwiches, has around 12,000 staff in the UK.

He warned: “If you end up with 50-mile tailbacks in Calais and corresponding tailbacks in Dover it won’t really matter whether there’s a 15% or 20% surcharge on lettuce or fruit or vegetables coming from southern Europe, it will all rot in the container. There is no good answer to that at the moment.

Since 2005 we have been telling you it is going to come. The curses of Lev 26 are here and have been here and are about to be turned up to those things that made Daniel sick to his stomach for days. If you thought the Holocaust was horrible, then you have no idea what is about to come. France and the head of the EU are saying they will not renegotiate any of the BREXIT deals. They are making it very hard on the UK to leave. You do know that the EU entered the EU in 1973. 49 Years later brings us to the year 2021. The current Paris Accord was begun in 1972 as the UNEP. The Middle of the 70th Jubilee Cycle since Moses went and got the Children of Israel is 2020 next year.

Read this curse that comes in this 4th Sabbatical Cycle.

Lev 26:23 “And if by this discipline you are not turned to me but walk contrary to me, then I also will walk contrary to you, and I myself will strike you sevenfold for your sins. And I will bring a sword upon you, that shall execute vengeance for the covenant. And if you gather within your cities, I will send pestilence among you, and you shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy. When I break your supply of bread, ten women shall bake your bread in a single oven and shall dole out your bread again by weight, and you shall eat and not be satisfied.
“But if in spite of this you will not listen to me, but walk contrary to me, then I will walk contrary to you in fury, and I myself will discipline you sevenfold for your sins. You shall eat the flesh of your sons, and you shall eat the flesh of your daughters.

On Wednesday the EU announce they were not going to renegotiate with Britain over the BREXIT deal.

 

EU Leaders Agree Theresa May’s Brexit Divorce Deal ‘Will Not Be Renegotiated’

(BRUSSELS) — Leaders across the European Union offered a united chorus of “No” on Wednesday to Britain’s belated bid to negotiate changes to the Brexit divorce deal so Prime Minister Theresa May can win the backing of her Parliament. In London, May acknowledged that her government hasn’t decided exactly how it will try to change the deal to address British lawmakers’ concerns about the Irish border.

All this while Britain is headed for the EU exit in less than two months, on March 29.

“The withdrawal agreement will not be renegotiated,” said Jean-Claude Juncker, the chief of the EU’s executive arm.

Cycle of Life

Shabbat Shalom This week I would like to start off with you listening to this song. Just be still and listen.

I am not here this week to talk about whether or not we go to heaven. I have covered this subject in a 6 part series titled Heaven or Hell Which One Are You Going Too? Are You Sure? The song is to expose us to the fact of life that some of our brethren are dealing with the loss of their supporter, their strength, their husband.

We all have dreams and we chase them from our youth.

 

We want to be married to our best friend, and we want to grow old with them, walking into the sunset years of our lives.

Sometimes our dreams are rudely interrupted by the death of our spouse, our loved ones. And the world just stops.

A Good Name

Ecc 7:1 A good name is better than precious ointment,
and the day of death than the day of birth.
It is better to go to the house of mourning
than to go to the house of feasting,
for this is the end of all mankind,
and the living will lay it to heart.
Sorrow is better than laughter,
for by sadness of face the heart is made glad.
The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning,
but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.

Ecclesiastes 7:2 reads “It is better to go to the house of mourning than to go to the house of feasting, for this is the end of all mankind, and the living will lay it to heart.”

I have just spoken with my neighbor whose son died suddenly this past month.

It’s normal to mourn the loss of another, but it is excruciatingly hard when it is your own loved one that is being mourned. No one is eager to go to the house of mourning, but the experience should make us better people.

How is this good for us?

It’s a sober reminder of our own mortality. It is the widow who is taking this on the chin. It is reminding us to take the time we have, to use it wisely.

Job 14:5 Since his days are determined,
and the number of his months is with you,
and you have appointed his limits that he cannot pass,

It’s only a matter of time. Our bodily demise is “the destiny of everyone.” Death is unavoidable. Sure, it’s an uncomfortable topic. We’d prefer to ignore it — though most of us have many warnings along the way. Graying hair, new aches and pains, declining faculties. All reminders that this world, in its present form, is not our ultimate home.

But funerals make things loud and clear: Death is real. Horrible, but real. The last enemy to be destroyed is death (1 Corinthians 15:26). But, for now, the final vocation for which Yehovah will call each of us. “The living should take this to heart.”

The book of Hebrews has this one little line in that is full of wisdom.

Heb 9:27 And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment,

Where was this appointed?

Gen 3:19 By the sweat of your face
you shall eat bread,
till you return to the ground,
for out of it you were taken;
for you are dust,
and to dust you shall return.”

That same verse in Hebrew then talks about Judgment coming after our death. He got that from what Yehshua said.

Mat 16:27 For the Son of Man is going to come with his angels in the glory of his Father, and then he will repay each person according to what he has done. Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.”

What we are being told of in Ecc 7:1 is that we will be judged on those things we have done while we were alive. Our reward is based on the righteousness that we do while we can do it.

Ecc 7:1 A good name is better than precious ointment,
and the day of death than the day of birth.

We have said this for a very long time now. To become righteous you must keep the commandments. All of them.

Psalm 119:171 Let my lips utter praise; For thou teachest me thy statutes.
Let my tongue sing of thy word; For all thy commandments are righteousness.
Let thy hand be ready to help me; For I have chosen thy precepts.
I have longed for thy salvation, O Jehovah; And thy law is my delight.
Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee; And let thine ordinances help me.

How are you spending the time allotted to you here on this earth? Are you fighting with everyone? Are you being a blessing to others? Are you doing HIs work? Are you partying hard burning the candle at both ends thinking all is fine? What are you doing to help prepare others for the coming Kingdom and the laws that will be upheld in that Kingdom?

Psalm 90:12 So teach us to number our days, that we may present a heart of wisdom.

Solomon goes on to say some things that troubled me at one time. Why do anything if we all end up dead anyway?

Ecclesiastes 2:14 The wise man has eyes in his head, but the fool walks in darkness. Yet I also came to realize that one fate overcomes them both.
Ecclesiastes 2:16 For there is no lasting remembrance of the wise, just as with the fool, seeing that both will be forgotten in the days to come. Alas, the wise man will die just like the fool!
Ecclesiastes 3:19 For the fates of both men and beasts are the same: As one dies, so dies the other–they all have the same breath. Man has no advantage over the animals, since everything is futile.
Ecclesiastes 3:20 All go to one place: All come from dust, and all return to dust.
Ecclesiastes 9:2 It is the same for all: There is a common fate for the righteous and the wicked, for the good and the bad, for the clean and the unclean, for the one who sacrifices and the one who does not. As it is for the good, so it is for the sinner; as it is for the one who makes a vow, so it is for the one who refuses to take a vow.
Ecclesiastes 9:3 This is an evil in everything that is done under the sun: There is one fate for everyone. Furthermore, the hearts of men are full of evil and madness while they are alive, and afterward they join the dead.

It was the concluding remarks of Solomon that ring true.

Ecc 12:13 The end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man.

Where have we heard this before?

Deut 10:12 “And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you, but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all his ways, to love him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, and to keep the commandments and statutes of the Lord, which I am commanding you today for your good?

Deut 6:1 “Now this is the commandment—the statutes and the rules—that the Lord your God commanded me to teach you, that you may do them in the land to which you are going over, to possess it, that you may fear the Lord your God, you and your son and your son’s son, by keeping all his statutes and his commandments, which I command you, all the days of your life, and that your days may be long. Hear therefore, O Israel, and be careful to do them, that it may go well with you, and that you may multiply greatly, as the Lord, the God of your fathers, has promised you, in a land flowing with milk and honey.
“Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.

Shema Israel, Yehovah Elohinu, Yehovah Echad.

We are told that if we want to live long then we need to honour our Father and Mother.

Exodus 20:12 “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God is giving you.

Yehovah is our Father and we must honour Him.

Mat 23:9 And call no man your father on earth, for you have one Father, who is in heaven.

One of the ways we honour our Father in Heaven is by taking care of the Widows who have lost their spouse to death. This is what I want to talk to you about this week.

Where are We?

In our studying of the Sabbatical and Jubilee cycles, we have had to prove when each Jubilee year was. We only had two from the scriptures that we could use to do this.

Lev 25:1 The Lord spoke to Moses on Mount Sinai, saying, “Speak to the people of Israel and say to them, When you come into the land that I give you, the land shall keep a Sabbath to the Lord.

In order to know if that first year was indeed a Jubilee year, we had to do the chronology from Adam all the way up to and including the year that Joshua entered the Promised Land when he crossed the Jordan.

Our book Remembering the Sabbatical year of 2016 shows you this chronology and walks you through it step by step so that you do not make the most common of mistakes. When we were done we did indeed prove that the year Joshua entered the Promised Land was a Jubilee year and the start of the 52nd Jubilee cycle.

The second verse we had was in

2 King 19:29 “And this shall be the sign for you: this year eat what grows of itself, and in the second year what springs of the same. Then in the third year sow and reap and plant vineyards, and eat their fruit.

We learned and we showed you that the year when this took place in 701, B.C., was the most documented and undisputed year in chronology. It was one of only two years with which we could sync the Hebrew Kings Chronology with a known and verifiable Assyrian Chronology. Again we have explained this in detail in our book Remembering the Sabbatical year of 2016. We urge you to get it and read it and then tell others.

We also listed the 12 known Sabbatical years in our book and showed you how they all matched the two Jubilee cycles that we knew about. Since I published that book in 2013 we have now learned of many more Sabbatical year dates. We now have 45 in total all matching and proving that the Sabbatical and Jubilee chronology we are using is in fact correct. All of these years match with the Jubilee Years only one way and that is if the Jubilee years are the same year as the first year of the next Jubilee cycle. In other words the 50th year is also the 1st year.

We have an example of this in Shavuot. The 50th day is the day after the 7th Sabbath and it is also the 1st day of the week. So that the weekly 7-day cycle is never broken with an 8-day cycle.

Lev 23:15 “You shall count seven full weeks from the day after the Sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering. You shall count fifty days to the day after the seventh Sabbath. Then you shall present a grain offering of new grain to the Lord.

Now compare this verse to Lev 25 about the Jubilee year. On the 10th day of the 7th month IN THAT 50th YEAR, you are to proclaim liberty. You do this in the 50th year.

 Lev 25:8 “You shall count seven weeks of years, seven times seven years, so that the time of the seven weeks of years shall give you forty-nine years. Then you shall sound the loud trumpet on the tenth day of the seventh month. On the Day of Atonement you shall sound the trumpet throughout all your land. And you shall consecrate the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee for you, when each of you shall return to his property and each of you shall return to his clan.

Each of you should have done this by now. Each of you should be telling others to learn these truths and to prove them for themselves. And having done so then you will know for a fact that the chart at the top here is the 120th Jubilee cycle and it is also the final one for this 6th Millennial day of mankind and that it is also the 70th Jubilee Cycle since Yehovah told Moses at the burning bush to go and get my people.  Again we explain this in detail in our book The 2300 Days of Hell. Get it and read it.

The Widow of Zarephath

Before I get to the purpose of this week’s News Letter, I want to talk to you about the widow of Zarephath

We read about a widow who lived in Zarephath a city that was not part of Israel and it is here that the Prophet Elijah stays and has two miracles take place. This was in 1 Kings 17.

When I look up the word Zarephath to see what it means I am shown the following.

H6886    tsârephath     tsaw-ref-ath’

From H6884; refinement; Tsarephath, a place in Palestine: – Zarephath.

H6884   tsâraph     tsaw-raf’

A primitive root; to fuse (metal), that is, refine (literally or figuratively): – cast, (re-) fine (-er), founder, goldsmith, melt, pure, purge away, try.

We read how Elijah brought on the drought over Israel for their sins.

1 Kings 17:1 Now Elijah the Tishbite, of Tishbe in Gilead, said to Ahab, “As the Lord, the God of Israel, lives, before whom I stand, there shall be neither dew nor rain these years, except by my word.” And the word of the Lord came to him: “Depart from here and turn eastward and hide yourself by the brook Cherith, which is east of the Jordan. You shall drink from the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.” So he went and did according to the word of the Lord. He went and lived by the brook Cherith that is east of the Jordan. And the ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning, and bread and meat in the evening, and he drank from the brook. And after a while the brook dried up, because there was no rain in the land.

Let’s read the rest of the story for ourselves.

1 Kings 17:8 Then the word of the Lord came to him, “Arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and dwell there. Behold, I have commanded a widow there to feed you.” So he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, behold, a widow was there gathering sticks. And he called to her and said, “Bring me a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.” And as she was going to bring it, he called to her and said, “Bring me a morsel of bread in your hand.” And she said, “As the Lord your God lives, I have nothing baked, only a handful of flour in a jar and a little oil in a jug. And now I am gathering a couple of sticks that I may go in and prepare it for myself and my son, that we may eat it and die.” And Elijah said to her, “Do not fear; go and do as you have said. But first make me a little cake of it and bring it to me, and afterward make something for yourself and your son. For thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, ‘The jar of flour shall not be spent, and the jug of oil shall not be empty, until the day that the Lord sends rain upon the earth.’” And she went and did as Elijah said. And she and he and her household ate for many days. The jar of flour was not spent, neither did the jug of oil become empty, according to the word of the Lord that he spoke by Elijah.

Elijah Raises the Widow’s Son

After this the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, became ill. And his illness was so severe that there was no breath left in him. And she said to Elijah, “What have you against me, O man of God? You have come to me to bring my sin to remembrance and to cause the death of my son!” And he said to her, “Give me your son.” And he took him from her arms and carried him up into the upper chamber where he lodged, and laid him on his own bed. And he cried to the Lord, “O Lord my God, have you brought calamity even upon the widow with whom I sojourn, by killing her son?” Then he stretched himself upon the child three times and cried to the Lord, “O Lord my God, let this child’s life come into him again.” And the Lord listened to the voice of Elijah. And the life of the child came into him again, and he revived. And Elijah took the child and brought him down from the upper chamber into the house and delivered him to his mother. And Elijah said, “See, your son lives.” And the woman said to Elijah, “Now I know that you are a man of God, and that the word of the Lord in your mouth is truth.”

1 Kings 18:1 After many days the word of the Lord came to Elijah, in the third year, saying, “Go, show yourself to Ahab, and I will send rain upon the earth.”

This story of Elijah and the widow were also mentioned by Yehshua in Luke

Luke 4:22 And all spoke well of him and marveled at the gracious words that were coming from his mouth. And they said, “Is not this Joseph’s son?” And he said to them, “Doubtless you will quote to me this proverb, ‘“Physician, heal yourself.” What we have heard you did at Capernaum, do here in your hometown as well.’” And he said, “Truly, I say to you, no prophet is acceptable in his hometown. But in truth, I tell you, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heavens were shut up three years and six months, and a great famine came over all the land, and Elijah was sent to none of them but only to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow. And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of the prophet Elisha, and none of them was cleansed, but only Naaman the Syrian.” When they heard these things, all in the synagogue were filled with wrath. And they rose up and drove him out of the town and brought him to the brow of the hill on which their town was built, so that they could throw him down the cliff. But passing through their midst, he went away.

The point Yehshua was making was that no prophet is accepted in his hometown. Just as Elijah found more faith outside of Israel than within it, Yehshua found little faith in His boyhood home. As if to prove His point, the people of Gamla grew enraged and attempted to throw Yehshua off the cliff in that town.

Let me emphasize this one point. We have had a month-long ad campaign across North America about our Book The 2330 Days of Hell. It has generated 31,000 responses over the course of 30 days. We just began another ad campaign in the Philippines and in just 3 days we have had over 43,000 responses. As excited as I am about the Philippines, I am so very disappointed in North America.

Look again at the town with the widow in it, where Elijah stayed. While Elijah stayed there Yehovah refined Israel with 3 1/2 years of no rain. We all know that North America is about to enter that refining process and it is going to be very very tough.

Job 28:1-2  “Surely there is a mine for silver And a place where they refine gold. “Iron is taken from the dust, And copper is smelted from rock.

Isaiah 1:25 “I will also turn My hand against you, And will smelt away your dross as with lye And will remove all your alloy.

1 Peter 1:7 so that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ;

Revelation 3:18 I advise you to buy from Me gold refined by fire so that you may become rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself, and that the shame of your nakedness will not be revealed; and eye salve to anoint your eyes so that you may see.

Psalm 66:10-12  For You have tried us, O God; You have refined us as silver is refined. You brought us into the net; You laid an oppressive burden upon our loins. You made men ride over our heads; We went through fire and through water, Yet You brought us out into a place of abundance.

Isaiah 48:9-11  “For the sake of My name I delay My wrath, And for My praise I restrain it for you, In order not to cut you off. “Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction. “For My own sake, for My own sake, I will act; For how can My name be profaned? And My glory I will not give to another.

Jeremiah 9:7-9 Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts, “Behold, I will refine them and assay them; For what else can I do, because of the daughter of My people? “Their tongue is a deadly arrow; It speaks deceit; With his mouth one speaks peace to his neighbor, But inwardly he sets an ambush for him. “Shall I not punish them for these things?” declares the LORD. “On a nation such as this Shall I not avenge Myself?

Zechariah 13:8-9  “It will come about in all the land,” Declares the LORD, “That two parts in it will be cut off and perish; But the third will be left in it. “And I will bring the third part through the fire, Refine them as silver is refined, And test them as gold is tested They will call on My name, And I will answer them; I will say, ‘They are My people,’ And they will say, ‘The LORD is my God.'”

Jeremiah 6:27-30 “I have made you an assayer and a tester among My people, That you may know and assay their way.” All of them are stubbornly rebellious, Going about as a talebearer They are bronze and iron; They, all of them, are corrupt. The bellows blow fiercely, The lead is consumed by the fire; In vain the refining goes on, But the wicked are not separated.

Daniel 11:35 “Some of those who have insight will fall, in order to refine, purge and make them pure until the end time; because it is still to come at the appointed time.

Daniel 12:10 “Many will be purged, purified and refined, but the wicked will act wickedly; and none of the wicked will understand, but those who have insight will understand.

Malachi 3:2-4 “But who can endure the day of His coming? And who can stand when He appears? For He is like a refiner’s fire and like fullers’ soap. “He will sit as a smelter and purifier of silver, and He will purify the sons of Levi and refine them like gold and silver, so that they may present to the LORD offerings in righteousness. “Then the offering of Judah and Jerusalem will be pleasing to the LORD as in the days of old and as in former years.

The word for widow used here is

H490   ‘almânâh     al-maw-naw’

Feminine of H488; a widow; also a desolate place: – desolate house (palace), widow.

H488  ‘almân     al-mawn’

Prolonged from H481 in the sense of bereavement; discarded (as a divorced person): – forsaken.

Yehovah has given Israel a bill of divorce.

Jer 3:6 The Lord said to me in the days of King Josiah: “Have you seen what she did, that faithless one, Israel, how she went up on every high hill and under every green tree, and there played the whore? And I thought, ‘After she has done all this she will return to me,’ but she did not return, and her treacherous sister Judah saw it. She saw that for all the adulteries of that faithless one, Israel, I had sent her away with a decree of divorce. Yet her treacherous sister Judah did not fear, but she too went and played the whore. Because she took her whoredom lightly, she polluted the land, committing adultery with stone and tree. Yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah did not return to me with her whole heart, but in pretense, declares the Lord.”

Now that you can see that this widow of Zarephath and Elijah can also be prophetic to us today, read what Isaiah says.

Isaiah 54:1 “Sing, O barren one, who did not bear;
break forth into singing and cry aloud,
you who have not been in labor!
For the children of the desolate one will be more
than the children of her who is married,” says the Lord.
“Enlarge the place of your tent,
and let the curtains of your habitations be stretched out;
do not hold back; lengthen your cords
and strengthen your stakes.
For you will spread abroad to the right and to the left,
and your offspring will possess the nations
and will people the desolate cities.
“Fear not, for you will not be ashamed;
be not confounded, for you will not be disgraced;
for you will forget the shame of your youth,
and the reproach of your widowhood you will remember no more.

When did Israel become a widow? When Yehovah was killed at Passover. Keep reading in Isaiah.

For your Maker is your husband,
the Lord of hosts is his name;
and the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer,
the God of the whole earth he is called.
For the Lord has called you
like a wife deserted and grieved in spirit,
like a wife of youth when she is cast off,

This word cast off is the same as the word forsaken or widowed.

says your God.
For a brief moment I deserted you,
but with great compassion I will gather you.
In overflowing anger for a moment
I hid my face from you,
but with everlasting love I will have compassion on you,”
says the Lord, your Redeemer.
“This is like the days of Noah to me:
as I swore that the waters of Noah
should no more go over the earth,
so I have sworn that I will not be angry with you,
and will not rebuke you.
For the mountains may depart
and the hills be removed,
but my steadfast love shall not depart from you,
and my covenant of peace shall not be removed,”
says the Lord, who has compassion on you.
“O afflicted one, storm-tossed and not comforted,
behold, I will set your stones in antimony,
and lay your foundations with sapphires.
I will make your pinnacles of agate,
your gates of carbuncles,
and all your wall of precious stones.

Elijah also raised the son of the widow, from the dead after how many times. The same as Yehshua was in the grave dead for 3 days and 3 nights.

There is so much more we could share about Elijah but it must wait for another time.

The Widows Might-Not Mite

Widows are not seen in our society. They are not recognized nor valued. But Yehovah does see them and values them and protects them.

Exo 22:21 “You shall not wrong a sojourner or oppress him, for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt. You shall not mistreat any widow or fatherless child. If you do mistreat them, and they cry out to me, I will surely hear their cry, and my wrath will burn, and I will kill you with the sword, and your wives shall become widows and your children fatherless.

Psa 68:4  Sing to Elohim, sing praises to His Name. Raise up a highway for Him Who rides through the deserts, By His Name Yah, And exult before Him.  Father of the fatherless, And Right-ruler of widows, Is Elohim in His set-apart dwelling. Elohim makes a home for the lonely; He brings out into prosperity Those who are bound with chains; Only the rebellious shall dwell in a dry land.

Psa 146:9  Yehovah guards the strangers, He lifts up the fatherless and widow, But the way of the wrong ones He turns upside down.

As we are now coming into the Passover season, read with fresh eyes about the scarlet thread that was tied to the goat on Atonement. Yes, Passover and the Day of Atonement are intricately tied together and that is why I have mentioned both here.

Isaiah 1:15   “And when you spread out your hands, I hide My eyes from you; even though you make many prayers, I do not hear. Your hands have become filled with blood. “Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; put away the evil of your doings from before My eyes. Stop doing evil! “Learn to do good! Seek right-ruling, reprove the oppressor, defend the fatherless, plead for the widow. “Come now, and let us reason together,” says Yehovah. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

Your sins will be as white as snow IF you defend the widow and the fatherless. Your sins are paid for at Passover but it not until Atonement that they are blotted out and forgotten.

The Feasts

You are commanded to go up to Jerusalem three times in the year to keep the Feasts of Yehovah.

Exo 23:14 “Three times in the year you shall keep a feast to me. You shall keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread. As I commanded you, you shall eat unleavened bread for seven days at the appointed time in the month of Abib, for in it you came out of Egypt. None shall appear before me empty-handed. You shall keep the Feast of Harvest, of the firstfruits of your labor, of what you sow in the field. You shall keep the Feast of Ingathering at the end of the year, when you gather in from the field the fruit of your labor. Three times in the year shall all your males appear before the Lord God.

You are not to appear before Yehovah empty handed and you are to bring the very best of you produce to Him.

Exo 23:19 “The best of the firstfruits of your ground you shall bring into the house of the Lord your God.

Yehovah commands you to take 10%, a tithe of all that you have produced that year and bring it with you so that you can keep the Feast. This tithe is not for the church. It is for you and your family and to share with others and with the Levite. Yehovah also commanded you to pay a tithe to yourself and to spend that tithe on whatever you and your family wanted when you went up to keep the Feast. The churches do not tell you this part, do they? Yes, you are to spend 10% on yourself.

Deut 14:22 “You shall tithe all the yield of your seed that comes from the field year by year. And before the Lord your God, in the place that he will choose, to make his name dwell there, you shall eat the tithe of your grain, of your wine, and of your oil, and the firstborn of your herd and flock, that you may learn to fear the Lord your God always. And if the way is too long for you, so that you are not able to carry the tithe, when the Lord your God blesses you, because the place is too far from you, which the Lord your God chooses, to set his name there, then you shall turn it into money and bind up the money in your hand and go to the place that the Lord your God chooses and spend the money for whatever you desire—oxen or sheep or wine or strong drink, whatever your appetite craves. And you shall eat there before the Lord your God and rejoice, you and your household. And you shall not neglect the Levite who is within your towns, for he has no portion or inheritance with you.

Moses goes on to tell you more about the special tithing you are to do every third year.

Deut 14:28 “At the end of every three years you shall bring out all the tithe of your produce in the same year and lay it up within your towns. And the Levite, because he has no portion or inheritance with you, and the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow, who are within your towns, shall come and eat and be filled, that the Lord your God may bless you in all the work of your hands that you do.

At the first of Aviv 2019, we will begin the 3rd year of this 4th Sabbatical Cycle. Immediately after Moses wrote that verse above he then begins to talk about the Sabbatical years. So every third year is every third year during the Sabbatical CYcle. That is year 3 and year 6 of the 7-year cycle.

Each year you are to take some of the First Fruits and give them to Yehovah and then make this following declaration.

Deut 12:1 “When you come into the land that the Lord your God is giving you for an inheritance and have taken possession of it and live in it, you shall take some of the first of all the fruit of the ground, which you harvest from your land that the Lord your God is giving you, and you shall put it in a basket, and you shall go to the place that the Lord your God will choose, to make his name to dwell there. And you shall go to the priest who is in office at that time and say to him, ‘I declare today to the Lord your God that I have come into the land that the Lord swore to our fathers to give us.’ Then the priest shall take the basket from your hand and set it down before the altar of the Lord your God.

“And you shall make response before the Lord your God, ‘A wandering Aramean was my father. And he went down into Egypt and sojourned there, few in number, and there he became a nation, great, mighty, and populous. And the Egyptians treated us harshly and humiliated us and laid on us hard labor. Then we cried to the Lord, the God of our fathers, and the Lord heard our voice and saw our affliction, our toil, and our oppression. And the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, with great deeds of terror, with signs and wonders. And he brought us into this place and gave us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey. And behold, now I bring the first of the fruit of the ground, which you, O Lord, have given me.’ And you shall set it down before the Lord your God and worship before the Lord your God. And you shall rejoice in all the good that the Lord your God has given to you and to your house, you, and the Levite, and the sojourner who is among you.

But in the third year and in the 6th year when you have collected this special tithe for the third year, then you are to pray this prayer.

“When you have finished paying all the tithe of your produce in the third year, which is the year of tithing, giving it to the Levite, the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow, so that they may eat within your towns and be filled, then you shall say before the Lord your God, ‘I have removed the sacred portion out of my house, and moreover, I have given it to the Levite, the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow, according to all your commandment that you have commanded me. I have not transgressed any of your commandments, nor have I forgotten them. I have not eaten of the tithe while I was mourning, or removed any of it while I was unclean, or offered any of it to the dead. I have obeyed the voice of the Lord my God. I have done according to all that you have commanded me. Look down from your holy habitation, from heaven, and bless your people Israel and the ground that you have given us, as you swore to our fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey.’
“This day the Lord your God commands you to do these statutes and rules. You shall therefore be careful to do them with all your heart and with all your soul. You have declared today that the Lord is your God, and that you will walk in his ways, and keep his statutes and his commandments and his rules, and will obey his voice. And the Lord has declared today that you are a people for his treasured possession, as he has promised you, and that you are to keep all his commandments, and that he will set you in praise and in fame and in honor high above all nations that he has made, and that you shall be a people holy to the Lord your God, as he promised.”

We are about to begin the third year of this Sabbatical cycle. Are you going to obey this and keep this commandment? Or are you going to find a way not to? Are you going to say this is just for the Jews or that this commandment was just for when you are in the land of Israel?

Lev 27:30 “Every tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the trees, is the Lord’s; it is holy to the Lord. If a man wishes to redeem some of his tithe, he shall add a fifth to it. And every tithe of herds and flocks, every tenth animal of all that pass under the herdsman’s staff, shall be holy to the Lord. One shall not differentiate between good or bad, neither shall he make a substitute for it; and if he does substitute for it, then both it and the substitute shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed.”
These are the commandments that the Lord commanded Moses for the people of Israel on Mount Sinai.

We are told why the Levites have been chosen to be the Priests of Yehovah in Exodus 32:25 as a result of the golden calf incident.

And when Moses saw that the people had broken loose (for Aaron had let them break loose, to the derision of their enemies), then Moses stood in the gate of the camp and said, “Who is on the Lord’s side? Come to me.” And all the sons of Levi gathered around him. And he said to them, “Thus says the Lord God of Israel, ‘Put your sword on your side each of you, and go to and fro from gate to gate throughout the camp, and each of you kill his brother and his companion and his neighbor.’” And the sons of Levi did according to the word of Moses. And that day about three thousand men of the people fell. And Moses said, “Today you have been ordained for the service of the Lord, each one at the cost of his son and of his brother, so that he might bestow a blessing upon you this day.”

Before you say you are or are not going to pay this tithe in the third year that we are about to enter into, you should be aware that Yehovah also commanded you to pray this following prayer once you do obey Him.

Numbers 18:1 “When you come into the land that the Lord your God is giving you for an inheritance and have taken possession of it and live in it, you shall take some of the first of all the fruit of the ground, which you harvest from your land that the Lord your God is giving you, and you shall put it in a basket, and you shall go to the place that the Lord your God will choose, to make his name to dwell there. And you shall go to the priest who is in office at that time and say to him, ‘I declare today to the Lord your God that I have come into the land that the Lord swore to our fathers to give us.’ Then the priest shall take the basket from your hand and set it down before the altar of the Lord your God.

“And you shall make response before the Lord your God, ‘A wandering Aramean was my father. And he went down into Egypt and sojourned there, few in number, and there he became a nation, great, mighty, and populous. And the Egyptians treated us harshly and humiliated us and laid on us hard labor. Then we cried to the Lord, the God of our fathers, and the Lord heard our voice and saw our affliction, our toil, and our oppression. And the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, with great deeds of terror, with signs and wonders. And he brought us into this place and gave us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey. And behold, now I bring the first of the fruit of the ground, which you, O Lord, have given me.’ And you shall set it down before the Lord your God and worship before the Lord your God. And you shall rejoice in all the good that the Lord your God has given to you and to your house, you, and the Levite, and the sojourner who is among you.

“When you have finished paying all the tithe of your produce in the third year, which is the year of tithing, giving it to the Levite, the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow, so that they may eat within your towns and be filled, then you shall say before the Lord your God, ‘I have removed the sacred portion out of my house, and moreover, I have given it to the Levite, the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow, according to all your commandment that you have commanded me. I have not transgressed any of your commandments, nor have I forgotten them. I have not eaten of the tithe while I was mourning, or removed any of it while I was unclean, or offered any of it to the dead. I have obeyed the voice of the Lord my God. I have done according to all that you have commanded me. Look down from your holy habitation, from heaven, and bless your people Israel and the ground that you have given us, as you swore to our fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey.’

“This day the Lord your God commands you to do these statutes and rules. You shall therefore be careful to do them with all your heart and with all your soul. You have declared today that the Lord is your God, and that you will walk in his ways, and keep his statutes and his commandments and his rules, and will obey his voice. And the Lord has declared today that you are a people for his treasured possession, as he has promised you, and that you are to keep all his commandments, and that he will set you in praise and in fame and in honor high above all nations that he has made, and that you shall be a people holy to the Lord your God, as he promised.”

We have just one problem in doing this. We do not have a Temple or a Levitical Priesthood to give this tithe to. But we have no excuses about seeking out widows and supporting them during this third year tithe.

Let us face the issue squarely without beating around the bush. The Bible makes it clear (from the time of Moses onward) that Israelites were to pay tithe. But in doing so, they were strictly ordered by God to pay the tithe (the tenth) to one group of people, and one group only. To whom was the tithe to be paid? They were the Levites who (among other things) ministered in the Temple. Note Numbers 18:21,

“And, behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tenth in Israel for an inheritance, for their service of the tabernacle of the congregation.”
It was made abundantly plain that the biblical tithe was to be paid to the tribe of Levi, one of the twelve tribes of ancient Israel. In this initial law of tithing, no one else had the slightest authority to receive that tithe. Even Christ Jesus, while he was teaching on earth, did not use (nor did he demand) a penny of biblical tithe to fund his preaching activities or those of his apostles. After all, our Lord was descended in an adoptive way from Judah (Hebrews 7:14). He was not a Levite. This made him ineligible to receive any part of the biblical tithe that was ordained for use by the Levites at the time of Moses. For this reason, Christ did not use any tithe money to support his ministry.

The central fact was this: Only members of the tribe of Levi were at first ordained in the Bible to receive the tithe (the tenth). The Levites in turn were to give one tenth of that tithe to the Priests (Numbers 18:25–28) who did not tithe at all. In our modern age, however, even the Levites and Priests are disqualified from receiving any biblical tithe because there is no official body of men functioning as Levites.

Since there is no Temple in existence, there are also no Levites and Priests serving in the Temple. The tithe at first was brought into play by Moses to maintain the service of the Temple. With no Temple, the major factor for tithe paying does not exist as far as the biblical laws of tithing are concerned. For preachers and church leaders to change the direction of paying the tithe from that of the Temple to the service of a Christian ministry is to do so without any authority whatever from God. In fact, to use the tithing laws in a manner not sanctioned by the Word of God is to sin against biblical law. And that is what the preachers, priests and evangelists are doing today.

I do not claim to be a Levite. I can show that my family line may have been Kohens but I cannot prove it. And we have never asked for your tithes at sightedmoon.com, but we do accept your donations. We have also told you to go out and find those widows in the faith and in this upcoming year to once again bless them with your tithe. So many have written to me to thank me for this blessing that they are able to receive. You can do this on your own and do not need to go through us or any Levite. Do it directly and explain why you are doing this so they can understand.

While we are talking about the tithe let us also look at Nehemiah and understand today why there are no Levitical Priests. We have starved them out so they could not survive. Well, that and the fact that the Temple was destroyed and never rebuilt in the past 2000 years.

Nehemiah 13:10 I also found out that the portions of the Levites had not been given to them, so that the Levites and the singers, who did the work, had fled each to his field. So I confronted the officials and said, “Why is the house of God forsaken?” And I gathered them together and set them in their stations. Then all Judah brought the tithe of the grain, wine, and oil into the storehouses. And I appointed as treasurers over the storehouses Shelemiah the priest, Zadok the scribe, and Pedaiah of the Levites, and as their assistant Hanan the son of Zaccur, son of Mattaniah, for they were considered reliable, and their duty was to distribute to their brothers. Remember me, O my God, concerning this, and do not wipe out my good deeds that I have done for the house of my God and for his service.

Yehovah has put a challenge in front of all of us to test Him in this. Will you take Him up on this?

Mal 3:7 From the days of your fathers you have turned aside from my statutes and have not kept them. Return to me, and I will return to you, says the Lord of hosts. But you say, ‘How shall we return?’ Will man rob God? Yet you are robbing me. But you say, ‘How have we robbed you?’ In your tithes and contributions. You are cursed with a curse, for you are robbing me, the whole nation of you. Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. And thereby put me to the test, says the Lord of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need. I will rebuke the devourer for you, so that it will not destroy the fruits of your soil, and your vine in the field shall not fail to bear, says the Lord of hosts. Then all nations will call you blessed, for you will be a land of delight, says the Lord of hosts.

Your donations are what have made it possible for us to do the work that we are striving to do here at sightedmoon.com and I thank you for them and being part of this work. But are you robbing Yehovah or are you robbing the widows and orphans who Yehovah is the defender of? Remember these verses.

Exo 22:21 “You shall not wrong a sojourner or oppress him, for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt. You shall not mistreat any widow or fatherless child. If you do mistreat them, and they cry out to me, I will surely hear their cry, and my wrath will burn, and I will kill you with the sword, and your wives shall become widows and your children fatherless.

Psa 68:4  Sing to Elohim, sing praises to His Name. Raise up a highway for Him Who rides through the deserts, By His Name Yah, And exult before Him.  Father of the fatherless, And Right-ruler of widows, Is Elohim in His set-apart dwelling. Elohim makes a home for the lonely; He brings out into prosperity Those who are bound with chains; Only the rebellious shall dwell in a dry land.

Psa 146:9  Yehovah guards the strangers, He lifts up the fatherless and widow, But the way of the wrong ones He turns upside down.

    SIghted Moon Readers!
    Praise be to Allah, the most holy and righteous creator and his great prophet, Mohammad, peace be forever upon his name. Yes, the one true religion, Islam is conquering the world while the false religion of Christianity with its dualistic or triune godheads (depending if you believe in the father son god team alone or the third partner the holy ghost) continues to wallow in its false teachings. Praise be the Allah, the true God and not the false god of the Christians. Repent Dumond, you teacher of false lies. Allah has a special place in hell waiting for you if you do not repent of your false teachings.
    In the most Holy Name of Allah and his One True Messenger, Peace be Upon his Name, Muhammad.

      You may be emboldened by the power Yehovah has placed in Islam at this time, to execute His judgments upon His people Israel. The prophecy says Islam is the clay that will be mixed with the Iron, which is what will give them their strength. That Iron is Germany. And you are also right about those who worship two or three gods that are not gods. They along with those who follow false prophets and false gods will all likewise be killed off in the years to come. Unless you also repent of the evil that is in you, unless you turn back to Yehovah the Elohim of all creation and keep His Laws, His 7th Day Sabbath and His Holy Days found in Lev 23 and His Sabbatical years, you too will be found amongst those other idolaters that are going to die. And know this as well. By the end of 2033, there will not be one person left on the face of the earth that is going to be called Islamic. Not one. But there will be a remnant of Israel. That is just 14 years from now. Choose wisely whom you follow.
      Obadiah 1:1 The vision of Obadiah.
      Edom Will Be Humbled
      Thus says the MAster Yehovah concerning Edom:
      We have heard a report from Yehovah,
      and a messenger has been sent among the nations:
      “Rise up! Let us rise against her for battle!”
      Behold, I will make you small among the nations;
      you shall be utterly despised.
      The pride of your heart has deceived you,
      you who live in the clefts of the rock,
      in your lofty dwelling,
      who say in your heart,
      “Who will bring me down to the ground?”
      Though you soar aloft like the eagle,
      though your nest is set among the stars,
      from there I will bring you down,
      declares Yehovah.
      If thieves came to you,
      if plunderers came by night—
      how you have been destroyed!—
      would they not steal only enough for themselves?
      If grape gatherers came to you,
      would they not leave gleanings?
      How Esau has been pillaged,
      his treasures sought out!
      All your allies have driven you to your border;
      those at peace with you have deceived you;
      they have prevailed against you;
      those who eat your bread have set a trap beneath you—
      you have no understanding.
      Will I not on that day, declares Yehovah,
      destroy the wise men out of Edom,
      and understanding out of Mount Esau?
      And your mighty men shall be dismayed, O Teman,
      so that every man from Mount Esau will be cut off by slaughter.
      Edom’s Violence Against Jacob
      Because of the violence done to your brother Jacob,
      shame shall cover you,
      and you shall be cut off forever.
      On the day that you stood aloof,
      on the day that strangers carried off his wealth
      and foreigners entered his gates
      and cast lots for Jerusalem,
      you were like one of them.
      But do not gloat over the day of your brother
      in the day of his misfortune;
      do not rejoice over the people of Judah
      in the day of their ruin;
      do not boast
      in the day of distress.
      Do not enter the gate of my people
      in the day of their calamity;
      do not gloat over his disaster
      in the day of his calamity;
      do not loot his wealth
      in the day of his calamity.
      Do not stand at the crossroads
      to cut off his fugitives;
      do not hand over his survivors
      in the day of distress.
      The Day of Yehovah Is Near
      For the day of Yehovah is near upon all the nations.
      As you have done, it shall be done to you;
      your deeds shall return on your own head.
      For as you have drunk on my holy mountain,
      so all the nations shall drink continually;
      they shall drink and swallow,
      and shall be as though they had never been.
      But in Mount Zion there shall be those who escape,
      and it shall be holy,
      and the house of Jacob shall possess their own possessions.
      The house of Jacob shall be a fire,
      and the house of Joseph a flame,
      and the house of Esau stubble;
      they shall burn them and consume them,
      and there shall be no survivor for the house of Esau,
      for Yehovah has spoken.
      The Kingdom of Yehovah
      Those of the Negeb shall possess Mount Esau,
      and those of the Shephelah shall possess the land of the Philistines;
      they shall possess the land of Ephraim and the land of Samaria,
      and Benjamin shall possess Gilead.
      The exiles of this host of the people of Israel
      shall possess the land of the Canaanites as far as Zarephath,
      and the exiles of Jerusalem who are in Sepharad
      shall possess the cities of the Negeb.
      Saviors shall go up to Mount Zion
      to rule Mount Esau,
      and the kingdom shall be Yehovah’s.

    This comment is being posted for those of you looking for a very legit place to support those that help the “fatherless”:
    The Galilean Home for Children (galileanhome.org)
    Three times a year now on the proper appointed feast days, for many years, my family has financially supported The Galilean Home for Children (galileanhome.org) here in the United States. It is not a church, but rather a ministry of sorts started back in 1969 by a husband and wife who started taking care of babies left behind by women who went to prison. Over the years, they basically ended up taking care of any children that came their way — including intellectual disabilities (unwanted “retarded” children). Their home is an operating farm in the middle of nowhere Kentucky where they sell bread from a storefront to make money to get by — as, they do not get any government money, and operate only on the money from the store and various random donations. Occasionally, they send me an update newsletter that sometimes includes a real needs lists like: “We currently have a need for money to purchase additional ‘Diapers’ and ‘Baby Formula’ and the like.
    I’ve intermittently given to other organizations (orphanages, group homes, etc) over the past and found flaws, waste, and such that have caused me to place my donations elsewhere or just limit how/what I give. However, I’ve found the Galilean Home for Children to be a very legit and consistent home that truly helps children.
    In addition, this newsletter has encouraged me to not only share this information about the Galilean Home for Children with you, but also share my beliefs with them the next time I give — they are very devout Christians, but I do not believe they have the knowledge that is presented on this website. For those who have read my other comments or the lesson booklets that are posted on this website, you can rest assured that I will do this very gracefully and in a proper way — being a long time financial contributor to the Home, they may likely take notice and begin learning these things shared here at sightedmoon on their own. So, if you happen research them out and send them a donation from time to time, maybe mention that you heard about them from a comment on the sightedmoon website.
    One last request: I learned about the Galilean Home for Children from my wife who visited their bread storefront/cafe many years ago when my family also lived in the middle of nowhere Kentucky. However, I have lived in Colorado (Western United States) for over a decade now and have not found a similar ministry for children out here. If you can recommend a legit and tested ministry out here in the west like this that you have supported and trust, please leave a link here in the comments.

Please do write and tell others to get the book and also please post your comments at amazon so others can read them who are contemplating getting the book as well. Thank you and Yehovah continue to open your eyes.
