Yisrayl Hawkins Says - The Pope Is Right About One Thing...

The pope is right about one thing, he has no Scriptural right to judge anyone.
Pope Francis made the following statement recently: Who am I to judge a gay person of goodwill who seeks the Lord?
ALL JUDGMENT is given to Yahshua Messiah, according to the very Words of the Savior, written in your bible. Yahchanan 5:22, 27, 30
He who is without sin? Sin is refusing to practice Yahwehs Laws. This is very plainly shown in: I Yahchanan 3:4, 7-8, 10
like the Savior said? Mattithyah 6:33
22 For the Father does not judge any man, but has committed all Judgment to the Son; 27 And has given Him Authority to execute Judgment also, because He is the Son of Man. 30 I will of My own self do nothing; as I hear, I judge. And My Judgment is just; because I do not seek My own will, but the Will of the Father Who has sent Me.
A well-documented case of who can pass Judgment and how it can be passed is also given to us by the Savior Himself in: Yahchanan 8:7
4 Whoever commits sin, transgresses also the Laws; for sin is the transgression of the Laws. 7 Little children, let no man deceive you; he who practices Righteousness is Righteous, just as He is Righteous. 8 He who commits sin is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of Yahweh was manifested; that He might destroy the works of the devil. 10 In this the Children of Yahweh and the children of the devil are manifest. Whoever does not practice Righteousness is not of Yah weh, and he does not love his neighbor!
But seek you first the Kingdom of Yahweh and His Righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
These being the Words of the Savior, Yahshua, we need to remember Ya h w e h h a s g i v e n Ya h s h u a Authority to judge mankind. Yahchanan 5:22, 27
22 For the Father does not judge any man, but has committed all Judgment to the Son; 27 And has given Him Authority to execute Judgment also, because He is the Son of Man.
So when they continued asking Him, He straightened Himself up, and said to them: He who is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone at her.
The pope says, if a man who practices sodomy is seeking the Lord, who is he to judge the man? What could this mean? Does he mean the man is seeking a place in Yahwehs Kingdom or His House,
Now notice: Yahchanan 5:21, 25, 28-29
21 For as the Father raises up the dead, and gives them life, so also the Son offers life to those whom Yahweh wills. 25 Truly, truly, I say to you: The hour is coming, and now is, when the

dead will hear the Voice of the Son of Yahweh; and those who hear will live. 28 Do not be astonished at this for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His Voice, 29 And will come forth. Those who have practiced Righteousness will be resurrected in order to live; and those who have practiced wickedness will be resurrected in order to be damned.
Tree of Life, and may enter in through the gates into the City.
So, who will not be allowed in? Revelation 20:11-15
Compare: Daniyl 12:2
And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake; some to Everlasting Life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. Nevertheless we, according to His prom ise, look for new heavens and a new earth, in which Righteousness dwells.
II Kepha 3:13
Righteousness? Deuteronomy 6:25
And it will be our Righteousness if we observe to do all of these Laws before Yahweh our Father, as He has commanded us.
11 And I saw a Great White Throne, and Him Who sat on it, from Whose Face the powers of the earth and the powers of the heavens, the Gods (elohim), were driven away; for the verdict was reached that there is no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand ing before Yahweh. And the books were opened; and another book was opened, which is The Book of Life. And the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. 13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and sheol; the grave, delivered up the dead which were in them. And they were judged, every man, according to his works. 14 And death and sheol were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15 And whoever was not found written in The Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.
things, disobedient to parents, 31 And without understanding. They are covenant-breakers, without original affection, implacable; truce breakers, and unmerciful: 32 Who, knowing the Righteous Judgment of Yahweh, that those who practice such things deserve death, not only continue to do these very things, but also approve of those who practice them.
I Corinthians 6:9-10
9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the Kingdom of Yahweh? Do not deceive yourselves. Neither fornicators, nor godworshipers (worshipers of elohim), nor adulterers, nor men who com mit sexual perversions with boys, nor men who commit sexual perversions with other men, 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, will inherit the Kingdom of Yahweh.
I Yahchanan 3:4, 7-8

So, when Pope Francis says, if a man is seeking the Lord, does he mean the man is seeking justification? If so, notice: Romans 2:13
unless, or until, you, and they, repent and convert to practicing Yahwehs Laws. You are living in sin when you fail to repent, then practice and convert to Yahwehs Laws of Righteousness. You set yourself up as a judge, but you are not appointed by Yahweh, the Creator, nor by Yahshua, the High Priest. Your judgment is set. Your sentence is set. The Savior is not lying. Read His Words again. Yahchanan 5:26-29
26 For just as the Father has life in Himself, so He has given to the Son to have life in Himself; 27 And has given Him Authority to execute Judgment also, because He is the Son of Man. 28 Do not be astonished at thisfor the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His Voice, 29 And will come forth. Those who have practiced Righteousness will be resurrected in order to live; and those who have practiced wickedness will be resurrected in order to be damned.
Revelation 17:1-6, 18
These are the Saviors Words, Pope Francis. Those who practice Righteousness will live. They will be given Eternal Life. Those who practice what you practice will be damned. Unless you repent and convert, your sentence is set. Revelation 20:15
And whoever was not found written in The Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire. damned
1 And there came one of the seven malakim who had the seven bowls, and talked with me, saying to me: Come, I will show you the sen tence of the great whore that sits upon many waters, 2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication; practiced idolatry: godworship (the worship of elohim), and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her forni cation. 3 So he carried me away in the Spirit into the midst of godworshipers (worshipers of elohim); and I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet colored beast, full of names of blasphe my, having seven heads and ten horns. 4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet color, and decked with gold, and pre cious stones, and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication. 5 And upon her head was a name written: Mystery Babylon the great, the mother of the harlots and of the abominations of the earth. 6 And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the Saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Yahshua. And when I saw her, I wondered with great astonishment. 18 And the woman whom you saw, is that great city which reigns over the kings of the earth. And here is the mind which has wisdom: The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits.
temple back to Jerusalem, Israel, because your plans are to destroy many, even Rome. You will take your seat in Jerusalem. There, you and your leader will find your rest. You know those Prophecies, dont you? Jerusalem and its people were destroyed and burned. Now, Rome will also be destroyed and burned. How do I know this, Pope Francis? Because Yahshua, whose Name you replaced with Jesus and Christ, is High Priest over the Last Days Established House of Yahweh. Micahyah 4:1-3
1 But in the Last Days it will come to pass that the mountain; promotion, of The House of Yahweh will be established in the chief of the na tions. It will be raised above all congregations; and all peoples will eventually flow to it. 2 And many people will go and say; Come, and let us go up to the mountain; uplifting, of Yahweh, and to the House of the Father of Yaaqob, and He will teach us of His Ways, and we will walk in His Paths. Because the Laws will depart from Zion, and the Word of Yahweh from Yerusalem. 3 And He will judge between many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they will beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, nor will they learn war anymore. And having a High Priest over The House of Yahweh. I, Yahshua, have sent My Messenger to testify to you these things in the congregations of The House of Yahweh. I am the Root and the Off spring of David, and the Bright and Morning Star.
Revelation 17:9
Hebrews 10:21
Yahchanan 5:29 You know you are guilty of the Prophecy in Daniyl 7. Daniyl 7:25
And he will speak great words against Yahweh, and will wear out; mentally attack to cause to fall away, the Saints of Yahweh, and think to change times; Yah wehs Feast Days, and Laws; and they will be given into his hand until a time, and times, and the dividing of time.
You are not a Priest of Yahweh. The Priests of Yahweh teach the Laws of Righteousness. Malakyah 2:6-8
6 Truthful teaching of the Laws was in his mouth. Iniquity; perverseness, unrighteousness, was not found in his lips. He walked with Me in peace and equity; uprightness, and turned many away from iniquity; sin. 7 For the Priests lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the Laws at his mouth; for he is the Messenger of Yahweh. 8 But you have turned from the way; you have caused many to stumble at the Laws; you have corrupted the Covenant of Levi, says Yah weh.
Revelation 22:16
I am he to whom you must come, if you choose to repent.
You are also guilty of the Prophecy shown in Revelation 17. You represent the city that sits on seven hills that has brought filth upon the earth.
Now, you plan on moving the

This letter is not only to Al Qaeda, but to all people who desire peace; yet, feel they must fight to save their lives and protect their way of life.
I am offering you help, straight from Yahweh, the Creator.
There are no winners in the wars you are fighting.

Wars, not of your making but you think you must fight them anyway. Yahwehs Way was taken from mankind because it was rejected. So Yahweh said that He would allow mankind to go his own way first and show him what his end would be. In this generation, anyone can see what rejecting Yahwehs Laws has brought to all nations. Yahwehs Laws teach health, joy, and peace, none of which are present in the world today. Why do we not have healthy minds and bodies? Why do we not have joyous living? Why are our lives being continuously bombarded with sickness, disease, cancer and STDs? Why are children being born with all kinds of deformities and diseases of all kinds that kill them young? The absolute truth is this, everyone in the world has all been taught the same thing -- to avoid the Laws of health, joy, and peace. I am now offering you the Laws that will bring you all three - health, joyous living, and lasting peace. Please read this whole article, or you will not understand the Great Power behind this Perfect Way that I will show you. I ask that you take a look at what you have accomplished The Prophetic Word 11/2013
thus far. What you have experienced in the battles you have fought has only brought you heartache, and now sickness throughout your countries. Your women and children are being molested and killed. You have wounds that will never heal, and there will be more and greater destruction than you have already suffered.
Yahdah 1:11
Woe to them! For they have gone in the way of Cain, have run greedily in the error of Balaam for reward, and have perished in the rebellion of Korah!
For his act of choosing war, Yahweh said to Cain:
Genesis 4:14
Forced To Fight
I know you are somewhat familiar with the Inspired Writings of the Prophets of Yahweh. I also know, from talking with many of your representatives, that you do believe their Writings were inspired. Think about this, the first murder was committed by Cain. Cain murdered his Righteous brother, Abel. Then Yahweh told Cain that what he had done was to choose war.
Surely You have driven me out this day from the face of the ground; I shall not be seen by Your Face. I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond on the earth, for there shall be continual war, vengeance, and retaliation.
Choose War?
Cain could, and should have, chosen the Peaceful Solution Character Education Program that Yahweh offered. Cain thought he was losing out; so, out of desperation, he chose war as the way to solve his problem. War, not only brought a miserable future to Cain, but to all those who followed him, which have been all nations, peoples, and languages. One of the twelve Disciples of Yahshua Messiah, Yahdah by name, was inspired to write:
If you will read the rest of this letter with the above in mind, it will make sense. And if you accept this Promise from Yahweh, protection and blessings will follow you and your families. At the spur of an angry moment, Cain made his decision that has led the rebellious to continual war, vengeance, and retaliation. These are also the choices you are being urged to make by political leaders, who are led by religious leaders. None of them practice the Peaceful Solution Character Education Program . None of them keep the Laws of Righteousness, as is shown by the Inspired Prophets and Apostles of Yahweh.
I Yahchanan 3:4, 7-8, 10
4 Whoever commits sin, transgresses also the Laws; for sin is
Page 5
the transgression of the Laws. 7 Little children, let no man deceive you; he who practices Righteousness is Righteous, just as He is Righteous. 8 He who commits sin is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of Yahweh was manifested; that He might destroy the works of the devil. 10 In this the Children of Yahweh and the children of the devil are manifest. Whoever does not practice Righteousness is not of Yahweh, and he does not love his neighbor!
Revelation 22:12-14
Yahdah 1:11
12 And behold, I come quickly, and My Reward is with Me, to give every man according as his work will be. 13 I am the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. 14 Blessed are those who keep His Laws, that they may have right to the Tree of Life, and may enter in through the gates into the City. Woe to them! For they have gone in the way of Cain, have run greedily in the error of Balaam for reward, and have perished in the rebellion of Korah!
Notice the phrase, rebellion of Korah. Korah tried to turn the twelve tribes away from the Peaceful Solution Character Education Program that Yahweh was teaching them through Mosheh at that time. However, Yahweh did not allow Korahs plans to succeed and Korah perished.
Yahweh is offering the same thing to you at this time.

protection
at this time
Yahweh has started a Work of Peace, at this time, among Al
Qaeda sufferers, and those of all nations who desire peace instead of war. There is a Protected Place prophesied for this generation. Why protection, and from what will Yahweh protect us? Please study this carefully. For almost 6,000 years of mans history, there were no automobiles, airplanes, rockets or bombs. During those years, mankind traveled by wagon, horses, camels, or mules. I repeat, cars, planes, rockets, and bombs came into existence in my generation by permission of
Page 8
Yahwehs Prophets. Knowledge was not increased until this generation. People were still traveling and doing all kinds of work with horses and wagons when I was born in 1934. Bombs, planes, and missiles were not present in Moshehs day, around 1,500 to 1,400 BCE. However, Mosheh prophesied about the nuclear bomb, and died about 3,434 years before technology was given to mankind to build such weapons of destruction. Mosheh was only a man. Mankind does not have the power to foretell the future. Yahweh, the Creator, inspired
Mosheh to describe the power that will destroy the largest percentage of mankind in history. This means that Yahweh controls the time that these devices of nuclear destruction would be made and used. When will they be used? Man now has them. They were only able to make them in this generation. But does anyone know when they will be used? Its all in the same Plan of Yahweh, the Plan that shows technology knowledge would not be available to mankind until this present generation. In this same Plan of events is shown the when. Read on.
Yahwehs Prophet Daniyl (607 to 531 BCE) Daniyl, the Great Prophet of Ya h w e h , l i v e d n e a r l y t h re e t h o u s a n d y e a r s b e f o re t h i s last generation; yet, he wrote Prophecies concerning this last generation of mans governments of and by the people. Daniyl wrote of the greatest time of trouble that would ever be allowed to be brought by mans governments of and by the people. Those Prophecies are recorded in: Daniyl 12:1-4
1 And at that time, one who is like Yahweh will stand up at Abel; Yisrayl, the Great Priest, who stands at Abel to teach Yahwehs Just, Perfect Laws to the children of Your People; and there will be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation to that same time. And at that time, Your People will be delivered, everyone who will be found written in The Book of Life. 2 And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake; some to Everlasting Life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. 3 And those who are wise will shine as the brightness of the heavens; and those who turn many to Righteousness, as the stars forever and ever. 4 But you, O Daniyl, shut up the words, and seal the book to the time of The End; many will run to and fro, and knowledge will be increased.
gresses also the Laws; for sin is the transgression of the Laws. 7 Little children, let no man deceive you; he who practices Righteousness is Righteous, just as He is Righteous. 8 He who commits sin is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of Yahweh was manifested; that He might destroy the works of the devil. 10 In this the Children of Yahweh and the children of the devil are manifest. Whoever does not practice Righteousness is not of Yahweh, and he does not love his neighbor!
observe them in the land you are crossing over to possess; 5 And you must love Yahweh your Father with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might. 6 And these Laws which I command you this day must be in your heart; 7 And you must teach them diligently to your children, and talk about them when you sit in your house, and when you walk on the road, and when you lie down, and when you rise up. 25 And it will be our Righteousness if we observe to do all of these Laws before Yahweh our Father, as He has commanded us.
The End, the last generation is when all these take place
You are about to see all four of them in this generation. In verse 1, we see a time of trouble greater than anything in history. Verse 4, shows this Prophecy would not be revealed until The End. Verse 2 shows this to be the time of the resurrection of the dead. Verse 3 shows for that time period, which is this present and last generation, there will be many turned to Righteousness. Notice: Daniyl 12:3
And those who are wise will shine as the brightness of the heavens; and those who turn many to Righteousness, as the stars forever and ever.
Christianity teaches that the Savior did away with the Laws of Righteousness. But the Savior said the following, which proves them to be liars: Mattithyah 19:17
But He said to him: Why do you question Me about Righteousness? There is only One Who is the Standard of Perfection, and He is Yahweh; so if you would enter into Life, keep the Laws of Yahweh.
In the last Revelation given to mankind, the Savior said: Revelation 22:12-14
12 And behold, I come quickly, and My Reward is with Me, to give every man according as his work will be. 13 I am the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. 14 Blessed are those who keep His Laws, that they may have right to the Tree of Life, and may enter in through the gates into the City.
There are FOUR things I would have you see in these verses.
1 2 3
the greatest time of trouble yet to come
Righteousness? Righteousness is not what the religions of the world are practicing today. In fact, they have all gone the way of Cain and have rebelled like Korah, as you can read in: Yahdah 1:11
Woe to them! For they have gone in the way of Cain, have run greedily in the error of Balaam for reward, and have perished in the rebellion of Korah!
The twelve Disciples called them liars too. I Yahchanan 2:4

He who says: I know Him, but does not keep His Laws, is a liar, and the Truth is not in him.

The Savior, Yahshua Messiah, in speaking of those who do not practice Yahwehs Laws of Righteousness, said: Yahchanan 8:44-47

do. She was a murderer from the beginning, and remained not in the Truth, because there is no Truth in her. Therefore, when you speak your falsehoods, you speak her words, because she is a liar, and the teacher of all lies! 45 Yet, because I tell you the Truth, you do not believe Me. 46 Which of you convicts Me of sin? So if I speak the Truth, why do you not believe Me? 47 He who is of Yahweh, hears Yahwehs Words; the Laws and the Prophets. Now you do not hear, because you are not of Yahweh.
still is, the roman catholic empire and church, would fight against the Prophets of Yahweh and change the times (Feasts) and Laws. They were the force that Satan gave power to take Righteousness away from the people. They actually took the Inspired Scriptures away from all nations, and made it a death penalty to practice Yahwehs Righteous Laws, for almost 2,000 years. Daniyl 7:25
From the above, we see it is Satan who is leading the nations in war, as she led Cain in the very beginning. Compare also: I Yahchanan 3:12-15
12 Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and murdered his brother. And why did he murder his brother? Because his works were evil, and his brothers were Righteous. 13 Do not marvel, my brothers, if the world hates you. 14 We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brothers. He who does not love his neighbor abides in death. 15 Whoever hates his neighbor is a murderer; and you know that no murderer has Eternal Life abiding in him.
And he will speak great words against Yahweh, and will wear out; mentally attack to cause to fall away, the Saints of Yahweh, and think to change times; Yahwehs Feast Days, and Laws; and they will be given into his hand until a time, and times, and the dividing of time.
Its plain to see that Satan is leading all nations in the way of Cain at this time. Yahwehs Prophets also foretold the time it would all end. Remember, Daniyl prophesied for a time when many people would turn to Righteousness, and Righteousness is keeping Yahwehs Laws. I Yahchanan 3:4, 7-8, 10
4 Whoever commits sin, transgresses also the Laws; for sin is the transgression of the Laws. 7 Little children, let no man deceive you; he who practices Righteousness is Righteous, just as He is Righteous. 8 He who commits sin is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of Yahweh was manifested; that He might destroy the works of the devil. 10 In this the Children of Yahweh and the children of the devil are manifest. Whoever does not practice Righteousness is not of Yah weh, and he does not love his neighbor! And it will be our Righteousness if we observe to do all of these Laws before Yahweh our Father, as He has commanded us.
Compare this with the Inspired Writings in: I Yahchanan 3:4, 7-8, 10
4 Whoever commits sin, transgresses also the Laws; for sin is the transgression of the Laws. 7 Little children, let no man deceive you; he who practices Righteousness is Righteous, just as He is Righteous. 8 He who commits sin is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of Yahweh was manifested; that He might destroy the works of the devil. 10 In this the Children of Yahweh and the children of the devil are manifest. Whoever does not practice Righteousness is not of Yahweh, and he does not love his neighbor!

In the same Prophecy for The End, Daniyl said MANY WILL TURN TO RIGHTEOUSNESS. Remember, Righteousness is keeping Yahwehs Laws. I Yahchanan 3:4, 7-8
4 Whoever commits sin, transgresses also the Laws; for sin is the transgression of the Laws. 7 Little children, let no man deceive you; he who practices Righteousness is Righteous, just as He is Righteous. 8 He who commits sin is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of Yahweh was manifested; that He might destroy the works of the devil. And those who are wise will shine as the brightness of the heavens; and those who turn many to Righteousness, as the stars forever and ever
is prophesied Protection now for those nations or people who desire Peace and Righteousness. Otherwise, there is no deliverance from what is coming upon all the earth. But for those who turn to Yahweh, He has the Power of Protection. Yahyl 2:31-32
31 The sun will be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the wonderful day of Yahweh comes. 32 And whoever will call with the Name of Yahweh will be delivered. For The House of Yahweh; those who keep Yahwehs Laws through the Priest who teaches peace, there will be deliverance, as Yahweh has said, among the remnant who has escaped of those whom Yahweh calls.
Ask for information on the Branch and King. Back to: Yeremyah 23:6-8
Daniyl 12:3
6 In His days Yahdah will be saved, and Israyl will dwell safely; and this is the Name that He will proclaim to themYahweh Tsidqenu: YAHWEH OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS. 7 Therefore behold, the days come, says Yahweh, that they will no longer say; As surely as Yahweh lives Who brought up the children of Israyl out of the land of Egypt; 8 But they will say; As surely as Yahweh lives Who brought up and led the Seed of the house of Israyl into the Protected Place at Abel, and from all countries where they had been driven; and they will dwell in their own land.
Yeremyah 23:1-2
The Prophet Malakyah shows the Righteous will greatly rejoice. Malakyah 4:2
But for you who reverence My Name, the Light of Righteousness will arise with healing in its wings; and you will go out, leaping like calves released from the stall.
1 Woe to the pastors; shepherds, who destroy and scatter the sheep of My Pasture! says Yahweh. 2 Therefore, this is what Yahweh, the Father of Israyl, says against the pastors who feed My People: You have scattered My Flock, and driven them away, and have not visited; attended to, them. Behold, you are going to be called to account for the evil of your doings, says Yahweh:
Out of the Protected Place they will receive training and protection from the great nuclear destruction that is getting ready to hit all nations. Notice now the Prophecy of this great gathering that is actually taking place at this time. Revelation 7:1-17
They are rejoicing in the same Laws that the religions did away with, whose actions of rebellion are causing continual war, as Cain, due to hating Righteousness. I Yahchanan 3:12
Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and murdered his brother. And why did he murder his brother? Because his works were evil, and his brothers were Righteous.
Now get this Prophecy that is being fulfilled. Yeremyah 23:3-5
Notice again for this generation: Daniyl 12:3
And those who are wise will shine as the brightness of the heavens; and those who turn many to Righteousness, as the stars forever and ever Many will be purified, and made white, and tried; tested; but the wicked will do wickedly; and none of the wicked will understand, but the wise will understand.
3 But I will gather the remnant of My Flock out of all countries where they had been driven, and bring them back to their folds; homes, and they will be fruitful and increase. 4 And I will set up shepherds over them who will feed them; and they will fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither will they be lacking, says Yahweh. 5 Behold, the days come, says Yahweh: that I will raise to David a Righteous Branch, and a King will reign and succeed, and will execute Judgment and justice in the earth.
Daniyl 12:10
This Prophecy is in action now, in this generation, as prophesied. Mattithyah 24:14
You nations that hate war can start now to turn from war. There
And this joyous Message of the Kingdom of Yahweh shall be preached in all the world from The House of Yahweh at Abel by the Witness Yisrayl; for Yahweh will be with him. He will preach this Message to all nations; and then The End will come.
1 And after these things I saw four messengers standing on the four corners of the earth, hold ing the four winds of the earth, so that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. 2 And I saw another Malak ascending from the east, having the Seal of the Living Father; and he cried with a loud voice to the four messengers, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, 3 Saying: Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, until we have sealed the servants of our Father in their foreheads. 4 And I heard the number of those who were sealed: And there were sealed 144,000 of all the tribes of the children of Israyl. 5 Of the tribe of Yahdah were sealed 12,000. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed 12,000. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed 12,000. 6 Of the tribe of Asher were sealed 12,000. Of the tribe of Naphtali were sealed 12,000. Of the tribe of Menasheh were sealed 12,000. 7 Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed 12,000. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed 12,000. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed 12,000. 8 Of the tribe of Zebulun were sealed 12,000. Of the tribe of Yahseph
Page 13
were sealed 12,000. Of the tribe of Benyamin were sealed 12,000. 9 After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the Throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and with palm branches; taught to keep Yahwehs Feasts, in their hands; 10 And crying with a loud voice, saying: Salvation to our Father Who sits upon the Throne, and unto the Lamb! 11 And all the malakim stood surrounding the Throne, the elders, and the four living creatures; and fell before the Throne on their faces, and worshiped Yahweh, 12 Saying: HalleluYahweh! Blessing, and Glory, and Wisdom, and Thanksgiving, and Honor, and Power, and Might, belong to our Father forever and ever! HalleluYahweh! 13 And one of the elders asked, saying to me: Who are these who are arrayed in white robes, and where did they come from? 14 And I said to him: Ruler, you know. And he said to me: These are the ones who come out of the Great Tribulation, who have truly purified themselves by forsaking God (the gods) and those who worship God (the gods), and who have repented from their murders (bloodshed, war). 15 Therefore, they are before the Throne of Yahweh, and serve Him day and night in His House. And He Who sits on the Throne will dwell among them. 16 They will hunger no more, neither thirst anymore; neither will the sun strike them, nor any heat. 17 For the Lamb Who is in the midst of the Throne will feed them, and will lead them to Living Fountains
of Waters. And Yahweh will wipe away all tears from their eyes.
War Is The Worst Way To Settle A Matter War does not make friends. I know you think you are being forced into war. President Barak Obama thinks the same thing. He, too, desires peace and would gladly accept it, but war is all he sees at this time. There is a prophesied way to peace and protection at this time. There is a prophesied way to stop all wars and never be forced into bearing arms again. The Prophecies are True. You have the increase in knowledge to prove it. You have the automobiles, planes, rockets, bombs and computers to prove this Prophecy was fulfilled, and proving that knowledge was increased in the very time period the Prophets of Yahweh show it would come to pass. The hatred is here. The nuclear disasters are here. The disease epidemics are here. All of this proving, with not a doubt possible, this is the time of The End. Now you have the prophesied Protection offered to you by Yahweh. I know you are thinking if you dont fight you will die and thats the reason thousands are dying at this time. Prophecy shows you sure Protection. He who lives by the sword will
die by the sword. I am showing you a way of Life and Protection. There is nothing sure in war, except death and destruction. This Prophecy is sure. Its the only sure way of Peace and Protection. There is a way shown by Yahwehs Prophets that all nations can have 100% peace. Prophecy shows that anyone, from any nation, will have His Protection if they will follow His Last Days Prophesied Work. Contact me now and let me get you started on a short program that you can take to others in your area. Ask for the STOP All WARS Program, the protected Work of Yahweh. It should be obvious to you now, if you read the whole letter, that Yahweh means what He inspired His Prophets to write, and that the prophesied future is also 100% sure, as stated. All you need to do at this time is to call and get involved with the one Yahweh prophesied of and He sent to bring peace in this generation, and the Protected Place from which this Work proceeds. May Yahweh bless your understanding.

We Can Stop School Violence, We Can Also Stop Wars!

It seems kind of strange to be rejoicing in the House, but the fact is, the reason we rejoice before Yahweh is because He has a Plan to stop all of this trouble that we see taking place. So we have room to rejoice! In fact, He tells us to. You saw the news, you saw the shape the world is getting into. And theyre saying that the things that are feared are now on the horizon and we can see that things more dreadful than these even are going to come to pass. And of course, unless something is done now, if it had been done when I first brought out the cause of these school shootings, we could have had it turned around by now. But Yahweh says the world is going to reject the cure for school shootings, for wars, for hatred. The next thing youll probably hear is disarmament. And, of course, I agree with that. I think we should start first with the military, and then we should go Page 16 to the police force. The citizens then, they will disarm themselves. Theyll beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks if well just do the other. The only thing thats going to help this is education. There are no answers in the world. There is an answer, and The House of Yahweh is the only one that has the answer. Its called education. Education is the answer. Thats the answer, not what youre finding in the schools. Thats not the answer. Now we do know that education in the Peaceful Solution Character Education Program starts to work immediately on these minds. Even when theyre sick, it starts to work immediately. This has been proven. Its been proven in the prisons, in the schools. Disorderly children, bullying, and so forth, its corrected all of it in just a few short lessons. And the teachers are saying theyre absolutely amazed. It even stops stealing, they said, in the schools. Yahweh shows that what you choose to practice changes the DNA in that direction. Your genes are in this way transferred to your offspring and your seed. Yahweh, in the Last Days, has started a Work that will actually turn this around. Its already in progress and its going to turn this world around and you wont be seeing anymore school shootings. In fact, Yahweh says theyll actually beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks at that time. This is a reality. Its going to take place. Its already taking place. The people who have the Peaceful Solution Character Education Program, the ones that are teaching this and the ones who are practicing this, they see the difference. They see the difference in themselves and in their children. The Prophetic Word 11/2013
Excerpt from sermon given 12/15/12
Now, if youre training, and I read this before, but I want to read it again, if a farmer has been a farmer for several generations, that goes into the children, boys or girls, and more than likely theyll be farmers. Sometimes theyll break the gene, or sometimes the gene is not there. Its not a concrete thing, because there are so many changes that Yahweh created that can take place. And you can change your genes very easily with teaching or with practice. Native Americans and Northern Europeans More Closely Related Than Previously Thought. Using genetic analyses, scientists have discovered that Northern European populations--including British Scandinavians, French, and some Eastern Europeans--descend from a mixture of two very different ancestral populations, and one of these populations is related to Native Americans... So through these genes now they can actually tell you this, and by their occupations. This research was published in the November 2012 issue of the Genetics Society of Americas Journal GENETICS. According to Nick Patterson, first author of the report, There is a genetic link between the paleolithic population of Europe and modern Native Americans. The evidence is that the population that crossed the Bering Strait from Siberia into the Americas more than Two thousand. years ago was likely related to the ancient population of Europe Heres how they know-DNA. To make this discovery, Patterson worked with Harvard Medical School Professor of Genetics David Reich and other colleagues to study DNA diversity, and found that one of these ancestral populations was the first farming population The first farming population. of Europe, whose DNA lives on today... This is so beautiful because it shows exactly what Yahweh shows in the Holy Scriptures. in relatively unmixed forms in Sardinians and the people of the The Prophetic Word 11/2013
Basque Country, and in at least the Druze population in the Middle East. said Mark Johnston, Editor-in-Chief of the journal, GENETICS. This relationship between humans separated by the Atlantic Ocean reveals surprising features of the migration pattern of the ancestors and reinforces the truth that all humans are closely related. Well, what I want you to see is that teaching puts in the body this genetic field that were seeing. Like breeding a bird dog, you take the best traits that you want in the bird dog and you cross it, cross those two with male and female and you keep getting a better breed thats easier to train and so forth. The same thing in Righteousness. From the Righteous genes of one person, it can help the person and keep that person from getting on the wrong track. Now, by teaching you can also help the person get off of the wrong track and onto the right track. Thats what character education is all about. This is accomplished with teaching and practice, of course. Practicing, like I Yahchanan 3 and verses 4, 7, and 8. I Yahchanan 3, no use in turning there, Im going to come right back here. I Yahchanan or I John if you have a King James Version. Sin is the transgression of the Laws. But now verse 7 says he who practices, he who practices. Now this is changing the genes. He who practices changing your genes. Well, if youre practicing Righteousness, youre changing your genes to Righteousness. What is Righteousness? Thats the Laws of Yahweh. Sin is the breaking of those Laws; Righteousness is keeping them. And then He says, dont let any man deceive you. Dont let any man deceive you, he who practices Righteousness becomes Righteous just as Yahweh is Righteous. The world is only educated in vocation. They spend all their lives in this, vocation and thrills. And the vocation that the children are learning right now, its nothing. It amounts to nothing in Righteousness. It doesnt teach anything about
Righteousness. It teaches you how to work for a corporation, thats all. The skills that you learn could easily be jerked out from under you. Thats how uncertain it is. Thats whats been going on in the world now since about 1941. And what youre seeing, the results is right now, they cant see around the corner, they cant see over the hill. And theyve got a problem here in front of them that is eating them up and they dont know what to do. They dont know how to study out the problem. They dont know any solutions because they havent been taught anything except vocation, trade, or some skill or something. Thats all thats going on in the schools. Theres no Righteousness being taught there. You cant even hang the Ten Commandments on the wall in a school. Its illegal. Its illegal to teach Yahwehs Way to your children. Yes, and thats in America. Well, in teaching this and not teaching a person character education, how to make the right decisions, how to get over a problem when you have a problem, how to get by it. Someones bullying you? Character education has the problem solved. It has the answer to the problem. It has the answer to every problem. Education is the answer. Disarmament? Yes, but that wont go very far. Take the guns away. Twenty people in Japan were stabbed with knives. Youre gonna have to educate them because if you take one away, theyre gonna get a weapon from the other unless you educate them in the fact that they dont need weapons. Our government in the United States needs education in that field. While theyre talking about peace, theyre improving their bombs that they want to use on other countries. Well, what are the other countries doing? They see this. And they said, Well, do you mean this treaty that you signed dont mean anything? Oh, yeah, were gonna disarm. You do it first though and then we will. Well, this is the confusion that were facing now, all over the world. Religion, what do they teach? They Page 17
teach you the same thing the movies teach you, how to kill, that you should be patriotic to your country. If they want you to murder, go out and murder, but do it according to their guidelines. Dont just go out there and murder, do it according to their guidelines. They tell you to go drop this bomb, go drop the bomb. Thats what they tell you. The movies are teaching our children more than the parents are. The televisions, the computer, theyre getting it all from that point right there. Thats the reason their attention spans are zilch, just dots here and there. Theyve got a problem at home, with a brother, with a dad, with a mother, they dont know anything about how to solve it. Its a sad thing. Its a sad, sad thing. But Yahweh says that Im going to let them go their way and nothing is gonna be withheld from them. They dont want to retain this Knowledge, then let it be taken from them. Well, they quickly pushed it aside and they developed these reprobate minds, full of anger like Cain. All the world has gone the way of Cain. Thats what Yaaqob said. All the world has gone the way of Cain. And thats what were seeing in the world today. What were facing right now, its not going to stop. They dont have any answers to what is taking place in the world. They dont have any answers for the nations either. Theyre as confused as they are about the school shooting that just took place. The only answer there is, is education. But not in trades, unless you consider the teaching of the Peaceful Solution Character Education Program a trade. But that is the only thing thats gonna solve this problem; education. If they would start, now I said this about thirty years ago, if you would start now to teaching this, you would be putting in your childrens genes this Righteous character that Yahweh actually proved through the twelve tribes. He shows it. Well get deeper into because I want to tie all of this in with this shooting because this Page 18
is causing this. Its also causing the droughts, the unnatural disasters to take place, so well get deeper into this. But, if you would have started thirty years ago this boy who was twenty would have had ten years of genes that would have went in-Righteous genes being forced into his brain. So when he was born he would have had that to work with. As it is now, there are still no children in the world that are receiving the power to make Righteous decisions. Its not being taught. They teach them in everything there is except the Peaceful Solution Character Education Program. And the education is in front of them all the time here. From the time they get up of a morning, this stupid television where theres nothing but lies that are brought forth on it. The movies, even the churches are teaching the same lies. They havent got sense enough to change. They havent got sense enough to say, This is a lie in my right hand, Im not going to do it anymore. Santa Claus did come down my chimney last night. I saw him flying his sleigh through the sky. They showed it on television. Hes being pulled by the same reindeers. One of them had a shiny nose. Yes, they go to all kinds of stupidity to teach lies. What we need to do is set aside a little time in the world, get the character education program that Im talking about and start teaching your children. If we got this to all the nations right now, think of this, if our government would take the money from one bomb that theyre trying to build, one bomb, they could reach all of these nations over there, all their educational ministers with the Peaceful Solution Character Education Program. He, in return now, would want this for all of his people. Once he reads this and sees what itll do, hell want it for all of his people. Think about that now. If President Barack Obama right now would say lets take this money and put it in a character education program and lets get it to all the nations, lets introduce it to all the
schools here and let them start teaching it, and lets give it a test. Lets give it a test for six months. Six months. What can you lose? Just six months. We have teachers here today, Sister Simpson is one of them, that when she first started teaching this in her class, a big class, large class, she wrote to us a few weeks later and said, I cant believe it but this is the first time in all of my teaching and Ive been teaching for twenty years, and she said this is the first time that I can honestly say that there is no stealing taking place in my classroom anymore. Now, you world leaders that are getting this and I know you are. I know youre checking me out, I see you checking my internet site out, so I know youre checking it out, if you would just try it for six months youll see school shootings stop. And the people, what you can put in their minds in six months, theyll start saying hey, we dont need this war. We could have a prosperous economy right now if we would just follow these lessons right here. Thats what theyll be saying. We dont need to take those peoples property. We dont need it, we got this. We could have wealth galore in just a little while. If we just put away everything else and go to this right here, we would have wealth that you wont believe, unimaginable. All from this one program, the Peaceful Solution Character Education Program. As this ad that I saw so many times says...

Modern Day Sacrifices Of The Dead
land and Gaelic Scotland and of very great antiquity. According to Keating, in heathen times the druids of Ireland assembled to sacrifice to the gods and burn their victims on Samain eve.
The Laws, Statutes and Judgments of Yahweh were not given just to be ignored. Mosheh was not ignorant of the worship of the pagan nations. They worshiped demons, which are led by Satan the devil. The worship of these demons were practices of appeasement. These Gods had to be fed during licentious feasts of lust and sexual excesses. These Gods also had to be fed the lives of the worshipers own children. The ancient Babylonians had a God called Samas, as we find in The Encyclopedia Judaica, Volume 5, page 1020.
...for example, before going out to battle with the Babylonian king Kastilias, the Assyrian king accuses the latter of betrayal and violation of the treaty between them, and as proof he reads the treaty in a loud voice before the god Samas.
All Souls Day. All of these are part of the ancient sacrifices of the dead.
ALL HALLOWS EVE October 31. All Hallows Eve or All Hallow Een, with its tradition of witches, ghosts, hobgoblins and sprites, its games and incantations, still is a gay time for pranks and parties in many North Country homes. Transplanted to New World soil, the old practices have become revitalized and currently are observed with more enthusiasm than in the country of their birth. To ancient Druids the end of October commemorated the festival of the waning year, when the sun began his downward course and ripened grain was garnered from the fields. Samhain, or Summers End, as this feast to the dying sun was called, was celebrated with human sacrifice, augury and prayer; for at this season spirits walked and evil had power over souls of men. Not until the fourth century did the pagan vigil for the god of light give way to All Hallows, the mass for Christian saints; and not until the tenth, did the Druids death feast become All Souls, the day of prayer for souls that had entered rest. Cakes for the dead were substituted for human sacrifice, fortune-telling for heathen augury, lighted candles for the old Baal fires. Gradually, the last night of Octoberfirst a Druid feast, then a Christian holy day emerged as a night of gaiety, when young people played games and read fortunes from simple objects, such as apples, cabbages, or nuts. Indeed, nuts became such a favorite means of divination, that All Hallow Een was known as Nutcrack Night. Next to nuts, apples feature in All Hallow Een divinations. Apple-bobbing still is as popular in the North Country as in rural America. Even pips and parings come in for their share of attention. Though many old All Hallow Een customs have disappeared, survivals of All Souls (November 2), as will be seen, still exist in many communities. Soulers, not very unlike American Halloween mummers, still make village rounds and beg for soul
Samain is the Druidic assembly on the night of October 31, to sacrifice to their Gods and burn their victims. The Standard Encyclopedia of Folklore, Mythology and Legend, Volume A-1, page 263, tells us more about the sacrifice of the dead.
Cromm Crac A huge idol which stood on the plain of Mag Sleact (the plain of adoration or prostrations) in County Cavan, in Ulster, near the present village of Ballymagauran; also called rig-iodal h-Eireann, the king idol of Ireland. Around him were twelve idols made of stone but he was of gold and to him the early Irish sacrificed one third of their children on Samain (Nov. 1) in return for milk and corn and the good weather which insured the fertility of cattle and crops.
The Encyclopedia Judaica, Volume 14, page 719 says:

Samael, from the Amoraic period onward the major name of Satan in Judaism.
The Dictionary of Folklore, Mythology, and Symbols, Part 2, page 1393, says:
SAMHAIN (SAMAIN, SAMAN, SAMHAN) Literally, summers end. Celtic winter solstice festival celebrated about November 1. The entrance to burial caves were left open to allow the spirits to come out for an airing. Corresponds to Halloween. Compare Beltane. Samhanach. Goblins which come out on Samhain in Scotland correspond to Halloween!
Jewish legend says Samael-Samiel is the angel of death and the head of the devils. The Greek rendering of the word, Samael is Sammane.
...includes the name, although not in the most important place, in the list of the leaders of the angels who rebelled against God. The Greek versions of the lost Hebrew text contain the forms Sammanhv (Sammane) and Semiel (Semiel).
The Standard Encyclopedia of Folklore, Mythology and Legend, pages 968-969, tells us what Samain is:
Samain (pronounced sovan or sowan) The festival of the beginning of winter, celebrated on or about November 1 in Ire-
Halloween!
The Yearbook of English Festivals, by Dorothy Gladys Spicer, 1954, pages 153-157, show us the ancient meanings of Halloween, All Saints Day and
Page 19
cakes, instead of something for Halloween. ALL SAINTS AND ALL SOULS November 1 and 2 The early English Church called All Saints, the feast to commemorate all the saints, All Hallows. Hallow Een, All Saints and All Souls (October 31, November 1 and 2, respectively) share a common tradition. The three festivals concern remembrance of departed souls. Hallow Een, as already noted, is celebrated with games and divination rites, since people once believed spirits of the dead walked abroad on this night. All Saints and All Souls, on the other hand, are popularly observed with souling customs and plays. Originally, these demonstrations were intended to honor the faithful departed and to ease the pain of the bereaved. Souling, or Soul-caking, is the custom descended from pre-Reformation times, of going about on All Saints or All Souls and begging for cakes, in remembrance of the dead. The Soulers, singing verses inherited from a remote past, are rewarded with soul cakes. Once soulers of certain villages began their rounds with services in the parish church, the cakes householders gave were in exchange for prayers for the dead, a charity for the departed. In other words, soul cakes were intended as a bread dole to the community poor. Bonfires, to light souls out of purgatory, and the ringing of church bells, also characterized old-time observances.
folks began hollowing out turnips and pumpkins and placing lighted candles inside to scare evil spirits from the house. It was the Irish, too, who initiated the trick or treat system hundreds of years ago. Groups of Irish farmers would go from house to house soliciting food for the village Halloween festivities in the name of no less a personage than Muck Olla (ancient god of Irish clergy). Prosperity was promised to cheerful givers and threats made against tightfisted donors. It was the custom for English children to dress up in each others clothes (boys donning girls outfits and vice versa) and, wearing masks, to go begging from door to door for soul cakes.
from the world. The strongest pagan religions were just incorporated into christianity. The book, Strange Stories, Amazing Facts, 1980, by the Readers Digest Association, corroborates this conclusion.
Although Christianity has swept the world in a relatively short time, as the histories of great religions go, the early missionaries faced an uphill task. The pagans were reluctant to give up their false gods and ancient practices. So the missionaries, unable to convert them easily to an entirely new code of worship, did the next best thing. They took the pagan festivals as they were and gradually grafted the observances of the new faith onto these festivals and the rites and customs surrounding them. December 25 was not called Christmas until the ninth century. Until then it had been the Midwinter Feast, a combination of the Norse Yule Festival and the Roman Saturnalia, both of which took place in late December. Like Christmas and Easter, the festival of Halloween originated in a pagan celebration, even though its name derives from the Christian festival of All Hallows or All Saints Eve. It was introduced in the seventh century to commemorate all those saints and martyrs who had no special day to themselves and was held on May 13. But in the eighth century All Hallows Day was moved to November 1, to counteract the pagan celebrations held on that date. October 31, the eve of November 1, was the last night of the year in the ancient Celtic calendar and was celebrated as the end of summer and its fruitfulness. It was a festival that the Celts of northern Europe marked with bonfires, to help the sun through the winter. Winter also called to mind the chill and blackness of the grave, and so it was a time when ghosts would walk, and supernatural spirits, warlocks, and witches would hold their revels. Only since the late 18th and early 19th centuries has Halloween developed into a festive time for children, with costumes, lanterns, and games. Before then it was regarded as a night of fear, and wise men, respectful of hobgoblins and wandering demons, stayed indoors. In the 17th and 18th centuries, however, it was customary for guiserspeople in weird masks and costumesto go from house to house, singing and dancing to keep evil at bay, or to go about as representations of the ghosts and goblins of the night. The Halloween lantern, made from a hollowed-out pumpkin or turnip with a candle inside it, is a relic from the days when food offerings were made to the spirits of the dead.
From The Book of Holidays, 1958, by J. Walker McSpadden, pages 149-153 are displayed here:
Halloween, in spite of the fact that it takes its name from a christian festival (All Hallows or All Saints Day), comes from pagan times and has never taken on a christian significance. There were two different festivals in the early world at this time of year, and they are both represented in our own Halloween activities. When you duck for apples, or throw an apple paring over your shoulder to see what initial it makes on the floor, you are doing as the Romans didhonoring Pomona, the Roman goddess of orchards and especially of apple orchards. And when you light a candle inside the jeering pumpkin face, you are in a small way imitating the Celtic Druids of northern Britain (described in the chapter on Saint Patricks Day), who lit a fire to scare away winter and the evil spirits who were waiting to come rushing in when summer was over. On that night between October and November, the Druids kindled great fires on the hills as a barrier against the evil to come. (These Halloween fires still burn every year in many places, but especially in Scotland and Wales). By waving burning wisps of plaited straw aloft on pitchforks, people tried to frighten off demons and witches, but just in case this didnt work, they also put on grotesque and terrifying costumes. For if you dressed in a horrible enough fashion and went trooping around with the spirits all night, they would think you were one of them, and do you no harm. This is where the persistent Halloween custom of dressing up and wearing masks originated; and among the children who come to the door on Halloween, calling trick or treat, the most alarming costumes are still considered the best.
In The Book of Festival Holidays, 1964, by Marguerite Ickis, pages 123125, we are shown the meaning behind the traditions of halloween.
The custom of holding a festival at harvest time goes back over two thousand years. The last day of the year on the old pagan calendar, October 31, served the triple purpose of bidding goodbye to summer, welcoming winter and remembering the dead. The Irish built tremendous bonfires on hilltops to offer encouragement to the waning sun and to provide a warm welcome for visiting sprites and ghosts that walked about in the night. People of the British Isles had the quaint custom of tossing objects, such as stones, vegetables and nuts, into a bonfire to frighten away any spooks that might be near. These symbolic sacrifices were also fortune telling props, still widely used at Halloween parties today. If a pebble a man flung into the fire at night was no longer visible the following morning, people clucked sympathetically, believing the man wouldnt survive another year. If the nuts tossed by young lovers exploded in the flames, theirs would be a quarrelsome marriage, etc. More fearful of spooks than spouses,
When one studies the origins of the customs of the christian religion, one comes to the conclusion that the pagan worship was not banished
Page 20
THANKSGIVING DAY
Part Of The Ancient Pagan Harvest Festivals
The ancient festival also included the symbolic murder of the grain spirit, as well as rites for expelling the devil.
From the propaganda of public schools every American knows how thanksgiving originated. In 1620 the small band of pilgrims of Plymouth Colony braved the perilous North Atlantic in quest of religious freedom. They landed in November and faced winter with meager supplies of food that dwindled rapidly. Fifty-five of the original one-hundred two people who came on the Mayflower died before spring. Because the summer was blessed with rain and the autumn harvest was plentiful, the pilgrim colony, appropriately grateful, established a day of thanksgiving and invited the local Indians to share their bounty. Supposedly, this is the origin of the holiday known as thanksgiving and it is so pure and holy that everyone can now observe this thanksgiving day with a clear conscience, for surely this is pleasing to Yahweh. However satisfying it would be to point to a particular day and say, This was the first thanksgiving, it definitely would not be the truth. Thanksgiving was not a New England holiday, springing up full grown, completely armed with roast turkey and cranberry sauce, from the mind of a pilgrim father. This American holiday gradually grew up in the unique culture of Puritan New England, an origin more complex than the legend the public schools have nurtured for generations.
Observations on the Popular Antiquities of Great Britain, by John Brand, George Bell and Sons, 1908, pages 16-33 gives a complete description of harvest home. A few excerpts are displayed here:
HARVEST HOME Alias Mell Supper, Kern or Churn Supper, or Feast of Ingathering Macrobius tells us that, among the Heathens, the heads of families, when they had got in their harvest, were wont to feast with their servants who had laboured for them in tilling the ground. In exact conformity to this, it is common among Christians, when the fruits of the earth are gathered in and laid in their proper repositories, to provide a plentiful supper for the harvest-men and the servants of the family. At this entertainment all are, in the modern revolutionary idea of the word, perfectly equal. Here is no distinction of persons, but ruler and servant sit at the same table, converse freely together, and spend the remainder of the night in dancing, singing, and etc. in the most easy familiarity. Bourne thinks the original of both these customs is Jewish, and cites Hospinian, who tells us that the heathens copied after this custom of the Jews, and at the end of the harvest offered up their first fruits to the gods. For the Jews rejoiced and feasted at the getting in of the harvest. This festivity is undoubtedly of the most remote antiquity. That men in all nations where agriculture flourished should have expressed their joy on this occasion by some outward ceremonies has its foundation in the nature of things. Sowing is hope; reaping, fruition of the expected bounty. To the husbandman, whom the fear of wet, blights, and etc. has harassed with great anxiety, the completion of his wishes could not fail of imparting an enviable feeling of delight. Festivity is but the reflex of inward joy, and it could hardly fail of being produced on this occasion, which is a temporary suspension of every care. The respect shown to servants at this season seems to have sprung from a grateful sense of their services. Everything depends at this juncture on their labour and despatch. Vacina (or Vacuna, so called as it is said
The Harvest Home

The Encyclopedia Britannica, 1980, Volume 5, tells of harvest home:
Harvest Home, also called Ingathering, traditional English harvest festival, celebrated from antiquity and surviving to modern times in isolated regions. Participants celebrate the last day of harvest by singing, shouting, and decorating the village with boughs. The cailleac, or last sheaf of corn, which represents the spirit of the field, is made into a harvest doll and drenched with water as a rain charm. This sheaf is saved until spring planting.
a vacando, the tutelar deity, as it were, of rest and ease), among the ancients, was the name of the goddess to whom rustics sacrificed at the conclusion of harvest. Newton, in his Tryall of a Mans owne Selfe, 1602, p. 54, under Breaches of the Second Commandments censure, the adorning with garlands or presenting unto any image of any Saint, whom thou hast made speciall choice of to be thy patron and advocate, the firstlings of thy increase, as corne and graine, and other oblations. Moresin tells us the popery, in imitation of this, brings home her chaplets of corn, which she suspends on poles; that offerings are made on the altars of her tutelar gods, while thanks are returned for the collected stores, and prayers are made for future ease and rest. Images, too, of straw or stubble, he adds, are wont to be carried about on this occasion; and that in England he himself saw the rustics bringing home in a cart a figure made of corn, round which men and women were singing promiscuously, preceded by a drum or piper. In a Journey into England, by Paul Hentzner, in the year 1598, ed. 1757, p.79, speaking of Windsor, he says: As we were returning to our inn, we met some country people celebrating their Harvest Home; their last load of corn they crown with flowers, having besides an image richly dressed, by which perhaps they would signify Ceres: this they would keep moving about, while men and women, men and maid-servants, riding through the streets in the cart, shout as loud as they can till they arrive at the barn. Hutchinson, in his History of Northumberland, ii. ad finem, 17, says, I have seen in some places, an image apparelled in great finery, crowned with flowers, a sheaf of corn placed under her arm, and a scythe in her hand, carried out of the village in the morning of the conclusive reaping day, with music and much clamour of the reapers, into the field, where it stands fixed on a pole all day, and when the reaping is done, is brought home in like manner. This they call the Harvest Queen, and it represents the Roman Ceres. An old woman, who is a respectable authority on a subject of this nature, at a village in Northumberland, informed that, not half a century ago, they used everywhere to dress up something similar to the figure above described at the end of harvest, which was called a Harvest Doll, or Kern Baby.

This northern word is plainly a corruption of Corn Baby, or Image, and is the Kern supper, which we shall presently consider of Corn supper. In Carews Survey of Cornwall, f. 20 b, an ill-kerned or saved harvest occurs.
Egyptian Goddess who absorbed the attributes of Ernutet (Thermuthis), the harvest Goddess:
ISIS [aisis], an ancient Egyptian goddess whose name may indicate that she was originally a deification of the royal throne. In early myth she was regarded as the daughter of Geb (earth) and Nut (sky) and both sister and wife of Osiris, to whom she bore Horus. The Egyptians identified their Pharaohs with Horus; accordingly, the Pharaoh was considered the son of Isis and the legitimate heir of Osiris. Isis absorbed numerous other divinities, especially the harvest goddess Ernutet (Thermuthis), and was frequently equated with the cow-goddess Hathor.
The American Book of Days, by Jane M. Hatch, 1978, page 1053, tells us:
Although Thanksgiving is one of the most popular holidays in the United States, the idea of setting aside a day to express gratitude for good fortune did not originate in this country. In ancient times many peoples held special festivals in the autumn to give thanks for bountiful harvests. The Greeks honored Demeter, their goddess of agriculture, with a nine-day celebration, and in a similar fashion the Romans paid tribute to Ceres (identified with Demeter). After the crops had been gathered, the Anglo-Saxons rejoiced at a harvest home, which featured a hearty feast. In Scotland the harvest celebration was known as a kirn and included special church services and a substantial dinner.
and sow corn. When Persephone was restored to her for two thirds of each year, the earth again became fruitful for that period. The center of Demeters worship was at Eleusis, where the Eleusinian Mysteries were held in honor of the two goddesses. The disappearance and return of Persephone, symbolized the death and rebirth of vegetation; later, initiates read into the ritual a promise of their own immortality. The Romans identified Demeter with Ceres. See also Ceres; Eleusis; Persephone. George E. Duckworth and H.J. Rose
Isis was identified with Hathor, the horned cow Goddess. The Yearbook of English Festivals, by Dorothy Gladys Spicer, 1954, page 145, shows:
Most pleasing of all the decorations are four spirally woven straw cones hanging from the pulpit stand. Each cornucopia is tasseled with ears of wheat. Those are horns of plenty, the old vicar explains. Each year they are loaned as harvest decorations. They are more than harvest decorations, I thought, as I inquired for their owner. Two old farm hands had fashioned the cornucopias many years before, I learned. Once, I was told, the straw cones were slipped over the horns of oxen competing in local ploughing meets, suggesting that these horns of plenty may have been associated originally with fertility rites. Maybe the old countrymen unconsciously paid honor to the Corn Spirit by plaiting symbols from the last sheaf bound at the end of the harvest.
The story of Demeter going into the underworld to find her kidnaped daughter, Proserpina-Persephone is rehearsed through the Eleusian mysteriesthe ancient mystery fertility religion. Colliers Encyclopedia, Volume 16, pg. 349-350, tells of the mystery religions of the great mother.
The mystery religions furnish an ancient example of a missionary movement. Originally they were magical ceremonies designed to induce bountiful crops. They dramatized the annual decay of vegetation in the autumn as the death of a divine youth over whom a goddess mourned. Later they celebrated with ecstatic joy the return of verdure in the spring as the coming to life again of the departed youth. Participating in these rites was believed to cleanse the devotee of his sins and unite him mystically with the god. They were crude and orgiastic but they had a dynamic quality which led to their expansion. In spite of the protests of such men as Euripides and Plato the mystery religions continued to make converts because they supplied something which neither the religion of the Olympic gods nor the philosophers of Greece could offer. This was especially true of the Eleusinian mysteries which may have had their origin in Egypt. In these ceremonies, Demeter, the goddess of agriculture, was represented as weeping over her daughter Persephone, who had been carried off by Pluto, god of the nether world, to become his bride. She reappeared, however, in the spring and spent six months (according to some accounts, eight) with her mother before returning to Pluto. By a natural development, these mysteries came to teach that, just as the vegetation was reborn in the spring, after its death in the autumn, so the initiates might be reborn after death. Though the details of these rites are unknown, because they were secret, it is evident that the drama which the initiates saw enacted was a source of great comfort to them thereafter, attracting at Athens alone thousands of candidates who thronged to be initiated. The Syrian mystery religion in which the goddess Astarte wept over Adonis
Celebrations: The Comprehensive Book of American Holidays, by Robert J. Myers, 1972, pages 271-272, tells us:
The harvest festival, with its attendant rites, seems to have spread out from a relatively small area of land, from Egypt and Syria and Mesopotamia. The first or the last sheaf of wheat was offered to the Great Mother, or the Mother of the Wheatfor the earth-power was essentially a feminine force. Astarte was the Earth Mother of the ancient Semites; to the Phrygians she was Semele; under the name of Demeter she was worshiped by the Greeks at the famous Eleusinian Mysteries; Ceres, the Roman goddess of corn, presided over the October Cerelia.
Our Wonderful World, by Grolier Incorporated, New York, 1966, Volume 17, page 220, tells us of the harvest festivals.
From Rome to the New World The Christians took over the Roman holiday and it became well established in England, where some of the Roman customs and rituals for this day were observed long after the Roman Empire had disappeared. In England the harvest home has been observed continuously for centuries. The custom was to select a harvest queen for this holiday. She was decorated with the grain of their fields and the fruit of their trees. On Thanksgiving Day she was paraded through the streets in a carriage drawn by white horses. This was a remnant of the Roman ceremonies in honor of Ceres. holiday is likely to continue, the world over, as long as men obtain their food from the earth.
Colliers Encyclopedia, Volume 8, page 74, tells us of Demeter, the Greek version of the Egyptian Goddess Isis.
Colliers Encyclopedia, 1980, Volume 13, page 309, tells us of Isis, an ancient Page 22
DEMETER [demiter], one of the chief deities in Greek cult; in mythology, the daughter of Cronus and Rhea and the sister of Zeus. She was the corn goddess, and her name has been explained as grain-mother or earth-mother. The mother of Persephone by Zeus, Demeter left Olympus when her daughter was carried off to the underworld by Pluto; lighting torches from Mount Aetna, she searched for Persephone throughout the world and the earth grew barren from neglect. On her wanderings she came to Eleusis near Athens, where, in the guise of an old woman, she was received by the family of Celeus. According to one version, she then attempted to make Triptolemus, the son of Celeus, immortal; but when prevented by the frightened mother, Demeter limited her favor to teaching the child how to use the plow
was carried by Phoenician sailors and traders to various ports in the Mediterranean at an early date. Later, when this sea was controlled by the Ptolemies, Egyptian sailors and traders carried the mystery religion of Isis to Cyprus, Sicily, Italy, Gaul, and Spain. This religion, transformed considerably from its Egyptian prototype, had great popularity in Rome, and held its own for 500 years. It was at one time a formidable rival of Christianity.
Men and women offered up sacrifices and prayers to these mysterious forces of the mystery religion, which they believed controlled the workings of nature on their behalf. Their hope in offering this worship was to ward off catastrophe, to ensure fine hunting, to obtain bountiful harvests, and to live again beyond the grave. The mystery worship was set in the cycle of sun worship. In the spring of the year, man sought fertility for himself and for his land. Bountiful crops would assure food for himself and his household. It was during this springtime of the year, at the vernal equinox, that the Goddess he worshiped was fertilized by the God he worshiped. In the summer of the year, the hot, arid land he lived upon became brown and barren. At this summertime, directly on the summer solstice, the Goddess he worshiped went into the underworld to remain until the time for vegetation to begin growing in the fall of the year. At autumn of this yearly cycle the sun started dying. The days grew shorter as the nights grew longer. At the fall of the year, directly on the autumn equinox, the Goddess man worshiped began to weep for the lost (or murdered in other mythologies) Goddess (or God). At the winter solstice the sun started to come back to life as the days started growing longer and the nights shorter. Life would be assured for another year.
The Goddess who had been fertilized at the previous vernal equinox gave birth to a son at the winter solstice. The God had been reborn. Such was the cycle of the primitive fertility religions portrayed through cute stories which effectively hid the vile, hideous meaning behind them. Thanksgiving day worship is merely the ancient fertility rites veneered with the respectability of christianity. However, the fact still remains, that it is ancient fertility worship. You may ask, werent our pilgrim fathers Righteous? Didnt they keep many of those old Laws? I know they didnt keep christmas. I can tell you the pilgrims only served the Father as far as they would. Definitely, the pilgrims worshiped on Sunday and they definitely did not keep the Holy Feast Days as ordained in Leviticus Chapter Twenty-three. They did not keep the clean and unclean food Laws, as listed in Leviticus Chapter Eleven and Deuteronomy Chapter Fourteen. The pilgrims studied the bibles they had. Therefore, they would have read of Yahwehs Sabbaths, Holy Feast Days, and clean and unclean food Laws for themselves. Why did they not obey Yahweh by doing what He had commanded in Leviticus Chapters Eleven and Twenty-three and in Deuteronomy Chapter Fourteen? Like so many churches and denominations today, the pilgrims wanted to do it their way and not Yahwehs Way. Is it any wonder then, that the pilgrims were just as deceived as the churches and assemblies are today? The pilgrims held exactly a three day feast in the fall of 1621. This was the customary time span for the ancient pagan celebrations. Thanksgiving, by Robert Haven Schauffler, Dodd-Mead, 1957, pages xii-xiii says:
The harvest festival of ancient Greece, called the Thesmophoria was akin to the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles. It was the feast of Demeter, the foundress of agriculture and goddess of harvests, and was celebrated in Athens, in November, by married women only. Two wealthy and distinguished ladies were chosen to perform the sacred function in the name of the others, and to prepare the sacred meal, which corresponded to our Thanksgiving dinner. On the first day of the feast, amid great mirth and rejoicing, the women went in procession to the promontory of Colias and celebrated their Thanksgiving for three days in the temple of Demeter. On their return a festival occurred for three days in Athens, sad at first but gradually growing into an orgy of mirth and dancing. Here a cow and a sow were offered to Demeter, besides fruit and honeycombs. The symbols of the fruitful goddess were poppies and ears of corn, a basket of fruit and a little pig. The Romans worshipped this harvest deity under the name of Ceres. Her festival, which occurred yearly on October 4th, was called the Cerelia. It began with a fast among the common people who offered her a sow and the first cuttings of the harvest. There were processions in the fields with music and rustic sports and the ceremonies ended with the inevitable feast of thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving, by Applebaum, page 8, tells us:

A target shoot designed to demonstrate the power of English muskets was a major feature of the three-day-long harvest celebration held in Plymouth in the fall of 1621.
Yahweh has given us, through His Holy Scriptures, His Holy Feast Days. The Feast of Tabernacles is the Feast of Ingathering for the people of Yahweh. Yahweh tells His people to keep His Feasts in Leviticus Chapter Twenty-three. Yahwehs people do not defile themselves with the holidays of this world.
But if it seems evil to you to serve Yahweh, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve __whether the Gods (elohim) your fathers served on the other side of the River; Euphrates, or the Gods (elohim) of the Amorites, in whose land you now live... BUT AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSE: WE WILL SERVE YAHWEH! ~Yahshua 24:15
