Volume 3, Issue 6 – June 2002 “I have set a watchman upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night. You that make mention of YHWH, keep not silence”. Isaiah 62:6
ONE NATION UNDER
‘gods’ S ay…
can you see the “godliness” of this nation??! How “godly” is a nation or a world that does not call on or KNOW the name of the Most High GOD [YHWH Elohim]? Men set in place holidays and celebrations that exalt other ordinary men and inert objects while the Holy Days of YHWH pass by unnoticed. They call on God in vain while following their own manmade laws that are upheld by man-made slogans from religious-political organizations and fraternities. Righteousness exalts a nation, but ‘pledging allegiance’ [dedication] to a man-made object called “Old Glory” instead of YHWH is complete idolatry. The arrogance of America is unbelievable but pride [and patriotism] will go before her fall. Proverbs 16:18 “Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.”
Evidence of the coming collapse of America is the recent ‘turmoil’ caused by the U.S. Court of Appeals’ decision rendering the pledge of allegiance to be unconstitutional because of the phrase phrase “under god”, reported USA Today. The words “the flag of the United States of America” replaced “my “my Flag” in 1924 on Flag Day in a pledge written by an American citizen. But, the pledge of allegiance was not adopted until 1942 and the words “under god” were not approved until ’54 by President Dwight D. Eisenhower to distinguish the U. S. pledge from similar speeches used by “godless communists”. God The W atchm an – The U nited Congregation of Israel
wasn’t in the picture before 1954 in the U.S. previously, so what ‘god’ was this nation built upon? Deuteronomy 29:17 “And ye have seen their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which were among them”.
Juneteenth Day
Like the mass worship to a false god commanded in the days of Babylon by King Nebuchadnezzar, the world celebrates man-made holiday after holiday, even making some up as the years pass while the Holy Days of YHWH remain unknown.
June 19th is bursting out all over, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported. Celebrated in Texas for more than 100 years, Juneteenth Day is gaining global significance among socalled African Americans who celebrate this day as the oldest known celebration of the ending of slavery of Negroes/Hebrew Israelites. Actually, this is incorrect!! The oldest known day of observance of the freedom from Negro slavery is PASSOVER and UNLEAVENED BREAD when the Hebrews were freed from Egypt; the first two of seven (7) HOLY DAYS given to Hebrews to celebrate throughout our generations. 2 Chron 2:4 “…on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the solemn feasts [Holy Days] of the LORD [YHWH] our God [Elohim]. This is an ordinance for ever to Israel.”
Juneteenth Day picnic in Atlanta near Ebenezer Baptist Church Juneteenth Day is an official holiday from Florida to Idaho in seven states. Why have we chosen a day when YHWH has given us an ancient day of celebration of liberation from slavery? Are HIS ways not good enough for us? The W atchm an – The U nited Congregation of Israel
Every other month there is a “pagan holiday” celebration. Last month on May 27, 2002, a CNN.com article carried a story naming Memorial Day as an American Day of remembrance. The president is pictured at an American Cemetery in [Normandy], France while Americans back home remember their dead with parades and prayers on Monday. After solemn prayer service, U. S. troops took time from their duties to hold a “barbecue.” Memorial Day is a day of celebration of the dead–prayers held in their memory and food sacrificed on their behalf but to whom, if not to YHWH?? Rev 2:14-15 “…thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication. So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate.”
Flay Day, Columbus Day, May-Day, D-Day, Thanksgiving Day, etc…every ‘god’ has a “day” in our modern world except the True and Living God, YHWH Elohim!
N OTES FR OM TH E ELD ER PR IEST Y A CH OV BEN ISR A EL (YHWH is pronounced Yahweh; He is The Most High, The True and Living God of Israel)
THE DAY THE SUN STOOD STILL “And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies…So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day… for the LORD [YHWH] fought for Israel.” Joshua 10:13-14
Men often wish to turn back the hands of time but, in the miracle of Joshua, the sun stood still for a WHOLE DAY! Being Sovereign and the Creator of all things, YHWH Elohim has the power to suspend the sun and moon at will; and He will use it to carry out His purpose and to aid His people [the Hebrews]. Scripture says, he listened to the voice [prayer] of a man [Joshua – Josh 10:12-13]. Since it was accomplished, we know Joshua’s prayer was in unison with the will of YHWH since He had already given them the commandment to subdue the heathen nations in that land – Josh 1:1-9]. Isaiah 38:8 “…I will bring again the shadow of the degrees…in the sun dial of Ahaz, ten degrees BACKWARD. So the sun returned ten degrees, by which it was gone down.”
King Ahaz, received a prophecy of the Messiah’s birth, but Ahaz, himself was evil; so much so that his [sun] worship included the sacrifice of one of his own sons (2 Ki. 16:2-4). But the second king, Hezekiah, was not like his father, Ahaz. He had the idols cut down and worshipped YHWH. Hezekiah also received a prophecy concerning Yahshua's coming that pointed to the fact that evil had to reach its height before his return. Did Hezekiah understand? Hezekiah knew he was sick and would die. At this news he wept bitterly and The W atchm an – The U nited Congregation of Israel
prayed that YHWH would remember that he had been faithful. YHWH, through Isaiah, the prophet, told Hezekiah that he would live another fifteen years; protecting/saving him from death; both personally and nationally- saving the kingdom of Judah from death from the Assyrians]. As a sign of this, the “sun was to return ten steps on the “steps of Ahaz” (on the sundial he observed). Thus, turning back the evil [Assyria] and the hands of time! The sun AND moon [modulators of times] stood still because they had to!! The Almighty YHWH fought this battle for Israel. In spite of the meaning of this miracle, sun wheels [SunDay worship] are everywhere in Christian symbolism. From Ms. Liberty’s head to the altar inside the Catholic St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome; even the [so-called] halo, often depicted as a ‘saintly’ symbol over the heads of ‘religious’ believers, point back to sun worship since it cannot be found in scripture. Instead of men giving YHWH the glory for being the Sovereign and Almighty GOD that He is for having created such majesty as the sun, men worship the sun and objects dedicated to it. The prophecy of Hezekiah has a future fulfillment when Israel [Hebrew Israelites] will again be “saved” from the nations who will gather to war with them once they have taken back their land of Israel [Dan 7:18], Israel will pray and weep between the porch and altar [Joel 2:17, Joel 2:1-16]. But this one will be the ‘father’ of them all. The sun, moon AND stars will not only standstill, but YHWH forbids ANYTHING to shine! EVIL WILL HAVE RACED TO THE END OF TIME! …A day of clouds, gloominess and thick darkness – Joel 2:1-2. By this we know who’ll be fighting this battle as well. Isaiah 13:-9-10 “Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it...the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened…and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.”
CONTROVERSY IN THE CL0UDS The history of this country has a foundation of “mystical traditions” [i.e., numerous secret societies] so many so-called conspiracy theories have much “truth in the saying”. The issue of contrails is no exception. On March 7, 2001, USA Today.com went public with a story that federal bureaus, radio talk shows and internet sites were being flooded with emails, information and phone calls about a “new conspiracy” in which “contrails” are said to be “chemtrails”. [They say the water vapor that jets leave in the sky, called contrails, are actually a toxic substance the government is releasing –and some say intentionally- on an unsuspecting people during or as a part of their numerous experimentations”]. Proverbs 23:5 “Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.” The W atchm an – The U nited Congregation of Israel
The article was rife with “denials and expert testimony” that contrails make natural cloud formations, but the debate will not go away. The article also included the fact that many said they have personally seen aircrafts flying in erratic patterns [which alone is unnatural]. Philip Marie, Sr., a retired nuclear quality engineer from Bartlett, N.H. is one of many. He said the sky above his quiet town is frequently crisscrossed with “spray” trails. “This is blatant. This is in your face. No one will address it; EVERYONE stonewalls this thing”!! [Contrails form when hot humid air from jet exhaust mixes with environmental air of low vapor pressure and low temperature that results in turbulence. Clouds form by a mixing process similar to the clouds you see when you exhale and "see your breath"]. Contrails are a concern because jet aircraft traffic results results in increased cloud cover that changes the region's radiation balance. This results in surface cooling…that also reduces the terrestrial energy losses of the planet, resulting in a warming. [Haven’t news reports told us that “energy loss” is a major problem? And Global Warming is a constant “problematic subject at international conferences!! Job 22:14-16 “Thick clouds are a covering to him, that he seeth not; and he walketh in the circuit of heaven. Hast thou marked the old way which wicked men have trodden? Which were cut down out of time, whose foundation was overflown with a flood.” \
Contrails have been sighted over the U.S., the Persian Gulf [during the war], and over Afghanistan. Experts like Marie say governmental experiments: - dump certain chemicals into storms and hurricanes to control the weather. - use the cloud cover created to test the cloud’s cloaking ability of advanced war equipment against enemy radar. [The chemicals are said to make the cloud formation thicker and they last longer]. - thwart global warming and relieve drought. Asthma, upper respiratory infections, and unheard of levels of dangerous air quality are on the rise because man attempts to control the things of Yah and YHWH Himself. Nahum 1:3 “YHWH [the LORD] has his way in the whirlwind and in the storm; AND THE CLOUDS ARE THE DUST OF HIS FEET.
~ FREEMASONRY ~ The Order of the Freemasons is one of many sources of this country’s foundational beliefs. A book entitled “Freemasonry, A Celebration of the Craft” is The W atchm an – The U nited Congregation of Israel
rich with information on America’s history. The book takes the history of the Craft of the Masons (and the versions thereof), then goes on to describe the significance of Freemasonry in British society but more so in American society (being an American publication). Who would have known, for instance, that the Statue of Liberty [with her sun-wheel-crown] was the brain-child of and designed by a Mason, (the Grand Master of New York) in a public Masonic ceremony? French sculptor, August Bartholdi, admired America’s stance of freedom against France. With a plan to symbolize American and French solidarity towards freedom, Ms. Liberty, was THE BOOK designed. His creation soon came to incorporate his own personal views through Masonic symbols like the book, the torch in her right hand and the 7-pointed diadem/sunburst on her head. But the Masonic Order is older than Ms. Liberty, the pledge of allegiance and old glory. According to The BBC News Photo Washington Monitor, Masons conduct a flag ceremony to which they recite pledges at their opening and closing sessions. George Washington was a member of the Freemasons, a secret and international fraternal society. And so were many of the political and military leaders of Washington’s era such as James Monroe, Andrew Jackson, Benjamin Franklin, and much later Albert Pike, who was a member of Pike a secret society called The Illuminati. [Illuminati, Greek Illumination, was the name given to those who submitted to Christian baptism. Those who were baptized were called “Illuminati” or “Illuminated Ones” by the Ante-Nicene clergy, on the assumption that those who were instructed for baptism in the Apostolic faith [a faith they know nothing about] had an enlightened understanding. Later, the title was used by this most secret “Secret Society” founded by Adam Weishaupt].
The History Channel documentary [entitled Secret Societies: Secret Order of the Brotherhood–available on video] indicates the following:
BBC News Photo
“There are approximately 5 million members worldwide, mostly in the United States and other English-speaking countries forming the largest secret society in the world. There is no central Masonic authority; jurisdiction is The W atchm an – The U nited Congregation of Israel
divided among autonomous national authorities, called grand lodges, use a holy book appropriate to the religion of the lodge's members, and maintain a vow of secrecy concerning the order's ceremonies. The lodge consists of three Craft, Symbolic, or Blue Degrees: Entered Apprentice (First Degree), Fellow Craft (Second Degree), and Master Mason (Third Degree). In the United States, the two most popular rites are the Scottish [Scottish Rite] and the York. Other important Masonic groups are the Prince Hall Grand Lodge, to which many [so-called] African-American Masons belong; the Veiled Prophets of the Enchanted Realm (the fraternal fun order for Blue Lodge Masons); and the Ancient Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine (Thirty-second degree Masons who, as the Shriners, are noted for their colorful parades and support of children's hospitals). There are also many subsidiary Masonic groups, including the Order of the Eastern Star (for Christian women).” Israel’s apostasy against YHWH should have been a lesson to the nations, but the nations apparently have not learned from the example YHWH made of Israel… Acts 7:43 “Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon.”
A BBC News article in May 1999 entitled The Craft stated that history claims that Freemasonry stems from the masons noted in scripture, particularly after Solomon’s reign. The masons of the bible were true stonecutters and bricklayers; laying foundations for buildings. 2 Kings 12:12 “And to masons, and hewers of stone, and to buy timber and hewed stone to repair the breaches of the house of the LORD, and for all that was laid out for the house to repair it.”
Freemasonry is different! In recent news, our attention has been turned to Europe (the Mother of America and the place from which her sons and all their evils have come). On June 26, 2002, the BBC News reported that doors of Masonic Lodges all throughout the British Isles were opened to the public in The W atchm an – The U nited Congregation of Israel
an attempt to dispel the myths about their secrecy. [It’s the occultic rituals of the Masons of the highest degrees that are secret to which even lower Masonic members are not privy to]. But opening their doors is consistent with the advice or “tips” they received from the public relations firm they consulted in 1999 on managing their image. The article said, for many people in the United Kingdom, the word “Freemasonry” is shorthand for shady-goings on and secret agendas “for self-serving white middle class males”. It’s “a “a pseudo-religion, and a cult” going from “freemasonry” to having transformed to ‘Ε-Masonry”; [which it has been all along as evident by the allseeing eye worn on their aprons. Masons were under investigation for having broad “net-works” that cover the actions of police and judicial officials officials who are members. The inquiry and its report are entitled Freemasonry In Public Life. As documented by the BBC News as well as the History Channel, many concordant organizations of higherdegree Masons are expected to believe in ‘a supreme being‘. They were quoted as saying it could be the Christian god, the far-east god, Buddah; or the Muslim god, Allah. […In other words, SATAN!!] Surely, we can see one thing, they do not serve the True and Living GOD of Israel, YHWH Elohim. John 12:31
“NOW IS THE JUDGMENT of this world…”
JEZEBEL…Thou Art Loosed
Revelation 2:20 “I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.”
The W atchm an – The U nited Congregation of Israel
From the annals of the ancient histories of the Euro-Gentiles and other pagan lands [like Africa], are heathen customs like idol worship [deified false goddess Cybele pictured above with the sun disc in her hands], and female priestesses and prostitutes in [so-called] religious temples. These are modern-day customs still with us today and are found among YHWH’s people who don’t know their true identities so they cannot know the significance of their own customs]. In recent news, Christian preacher T.D. Jakes, is said to be the next Billy Graham and is popular for instructing women to be ‘loosed’ from things that bind. In the Hebrew customs among women, they were bound [covered – body covered with truth and obedience], and wrapped [“with “power on her head”] because of the angels. Thus, ‘The Velcro Bishop’ with another gospel keeps women, shackled, blind and ‘loose’ [walking naked without truth]. He’s compared to velcro because he makes his man-made doctrine stick like velcro. Micah 3:11 “…and the priests thereof teach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money: yet will they lean upon the LORD, and say, Is not the LORD among us? none evil can come upon us.”
The plight of women and children being sold into sex slavery around the world was highlighted as a part of International Women’s Day, said CNN.com/WORLD. On this man-made holiday for women, it was announced that 2 million women and children are sold into the sex trade annually. Instead of teaching women the Hebrew customs [which includes keeping YHWH’s law like the righteous females in scripture], our beautiful sisters maintain the ways of Jezebel…leading men instead of being led by righteous men. Thus, bed-snatchings, kidnappings and rape are common place, but many enslaved women are brought to “the land of the loose” to practice these sins. That means there is a growing market for sex, prostitution and pornography in America. Isaiah 3:16-17 “ …the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet: Therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the LORD will discover their secret parts.”
Queen Jezebel met her death like she lived her life…scripturally out of order and in disobedience to YHWH. She maintained a defiant attitude towards YHWH by “painting her face and combing her hair” upon awaiting her death. While married to the Hebrew King, Ahab, Jezebel refused YHWH and the Hebrew laws for the false god, Baal. Ahab was content to follow her lead. [Baal means ‘lord’]. Forging his name, she even plotted murder to obtain land as a gift for him. Ahab followed her lead. But, Adam was made in the image of Elohim while Eve was made FOR Adam and from his ribs. The woman is man’s HELPMEET and is the “glory of the man”. Thus, females [including female preachers] follow the ways of Jezebel when they walk outside of their roles. The spirit of Jezebel is upon our females. The W atchm an – The U nited Congregation of Israel
