    ALL JUDGMENT is given to Yahshua Messiah , accord-ing to the very Words of the Savior,

    written in your bible. Yahchanan 5:22, 27, 30

    22 For the Father does not judge any man, but has committedall Judgment to the Son;

    27 And has given Him Au-thority to execute Judgment also,because He is the Son of Man.

    30 I will of My own self donothing; as I hear, I judge. And My

    Judgment is just; because I do notseek My own will, but the Will ofthe Father Who has sent Me.

    A well-documented case of whocan pass Judgment and how it canbe passed is also given to us by theSavior Himself in:

    Yahchanan 8:7So when they continued asking

    Him, He straightened Himself up,and said to them: He who is withoutsin among you, let him cast the rststone at her.

    He who is without sin? Sin is re-fusing to practice Yahwehs Laws.This is very plainly shown in:

    I Yahchanan 3:4, 7-8, 104 Whoever commits sin, trans-gresses also the Laws; for sin is thetransgression of the Laws.

    7 Little children, let no man deceiveyou; he who practices Righteousnessis Righteous, just as He is Righteous.

    8 He who commits sin is of thedevil, for the devil has sinned from thebeginning. For this purpose the Sonof Yahweh was manifested; that Hemight destroy the works of the devil.

    10 In this the Children of Yahwehand the children of the devil are

    manifest. Whoever does not practiceRighteousness is not of Yah weh, and he does not love his neighbor!

    The pope says, if a man whopractices sodomy is seeking theLord, who is he to judge the man?

    What could this mean? Does hemean the man is seeking a place in

    Yahwehs Kingdom or His House,

    like the Savior said?Mattithyah 6:33

    But seek you rst the Kingdomof Yahweh and His Righteousness,and all these things will be addedto you.

    These being the Words of the Savior, Yahshua, we need to remember Yah weh has g iven Yah shua Authority to judge mankind. Yahchanan 5:22, 27

    22 For the Father does not judge any man, but has committedall Judgment to the Son;

    27 And has given Him Au-

    thority to execute Judgment also,because He is the Son of Man.

    Now notice: Yahchanan 5:21, 25, 28-29

    21 For as the Father raises up thedead, and gives them life, so also theSon offers life to those whom Yahweh

    wills.25 Truly, truly, I say to you: The

    hour is coming, and now is, when the

    The pope is right about onething, he has no Scripturalright to judge anyone.

    Y is r a y l Ha w k i n s sa ys...

    Pope Francis made the followingstatement recently: Who am I to

    judge a gay person of goodwillwho seeks the Lord?

    dead will hear the Voice of the Son of Yahweh; and those who hear will live.

    28 Do not be astonished at thisfor the hour is coming in which all

    who are in the graves will hear HisVoice,

    29 And will come forth. Those whohave practiced Righteousness will beresurrected in order to live; and those

    who have practiced wickedness will

    be resurrected in order to be damned.

    Compare:Daniyl 12:2

    And many of those who sleep in thedust of the earth will awake; some toEverlasting Life, and some to shameand everlasting contempt.

    II Kepha 3:13Nevertheless we, according to His

    prom ise, look for new heavens and anew earth, in which Righteousnessdwells.

    Righteousness?Deuteronomy 6:25

    And it will be our Righteousnessif we observe to do all of these Lawsbefore Yahweh our Father, as He hascommanded us.

    I Yahchanan 3:4, 7-84 Whoever commits

    sin, transgresses also theLaws; for sin is the trans-gression of the Laws.

    7 Little children, let no

    man deceive you; he who practicesRighteousness is Righteous, just asHe is Righteous.

    8 He who commits sin is of thedevil, for the devil has sinned from thebeginning. For this purpose the Sonof Yahweh was manifested; that Hemight destroy the works of the devil.

    Revelation 21:27 And there will by no means enter

    into it anything that de les, nor worksabomination, neither a lie; but onlythose who are written in the LambsBook of Life.

    So, just who will be written in theLambs Book of Life? Notice:Revelation 22:12-14

    12 And behold, I come quickly, andMy Re ward is with Me, to give everyman according as his work will be.

    13 I am the First and the Last, theBegin ning and the End.

    14 Blessed are those who keep HisLaws, that they may have right to the

    Tree of Life, and may enter in throughthe gates into the City.

    So, who will not be allowed in?Revelation 20:11-15

    11 And I saw a Great White Throne,and Him Who sat on it, from WhoseFace the powers of the earth and thepowers of the heavens, the Gods(elohim), were driven away; for the

    verdict was reached that there is noplace for them.

    12 And I saw the dead, small andgreat, stand ing before Yahweh. Andthe books were opened; and anotherbook was opened, which is The Bookof Life. And the dead were judged outof those things which were written inthe 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 castinto the lake of re. This is the seconddeath.

    15 And whoever was not found written in The Book of Life was castinto the lake of re.

    Romans 1:26-3226 For this reason Yahweh gavethem up to degrading passions: foreven their women ex changed theoriginal use into that which is againstnature.

    27 And the men did the same thing:leaving the original use of the wom-an, they burned in their lusts for oneanother; men committing shamefulacts with men, and suffering in theirown bodies the penalty for their error,

    which is their tting retribution.28 And so, since they did not like

    to retain Yahweh in their knowledge,it came to pass that they were givenover to a reprobate mind, to do thosethings which are not proper;

    29 Causing to arise all unrighteous-ness, sex ual impurity, wickedness,covetousness, mali ciousness; full ofenvy, murder, strife, deceit, and mal-ice. They are great slanderers,

    30 Backbiters; slanderers, hatersof Yahweh, despiteful, arrogant, andboastful. They are in ventors of evil

    things, disobedient to parents,31 And without understanding.

    They are covenant-breakers, withoutoriginal affection, implacable; trucebreakers, and unmerciful:

    32 Who, knowing the Righteous Judgment of Yahweh, that those whopractice such things deserve death,not only continue to do these verythings, but also approve of those who

    prac tice them.I Corinthians 6:9-109 Do you not know that the unrigh-

    teous will not inherit the Kingdom of Yahweh? Do not deceive yourselves.Neither fornicators, nor godworship-ers (worshipers of elohim), nor adul-terers, nor men who com mit sexualperversions with boys, nor men whocommit sexual perversions with othermen,

    10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nordrunkards, nor revilers, nor extor-tioners, will inherit the Kingdom of

    Yahweh.

    So, when Pope Francis says, if a manis seeking the Lord, does he meanthe man is seeking justi cation? If

    so, notice:Romans 2:13

    For not the hearers of theLaws are just before Yahweh,but the doers of the Laws are

    justi ed .

    If he truly wants to be justi ed, he must repent of refus -ing to practice Yahwehs Laws ofRighteuosness. Notice the wordsof the Apostles. They are not hardto understand.

    Acts 3:19Repent therefore, and be converted,

    that your sins may be blotted out; thattimes of re freshing may come from thePresence of Yahweh.

    Your sins are not forgiven until

    you get on the straight and narrowpath by practicing Yahwehs Lawsof Righteousness. The wages ofsin is death.Romans 6:23

    For the wages of sin is death; butthe Gift of Yahweh is Eternal Lifethrough Yahshua Mes siah, our Savior.

    Pope Frances, the only pay you, oranyone else, have coming is death

    Your sins are not forgiven until you get onthe straight and narrow path by practicing

    Yahwehs Laws of Righteousness.

    unless, or until, you, and they,repent and convert to practicing

    Yahwehs Laws. You are living insin when you fail to repent, thenpractice and convert to YahwehsLaws of Righteousness. You setyourself up as a judge, but youare not appointed by Yahweh, theCreator, nor by Yahshua, the HighPriest. Your judgment is set. Yoursentence is set. The Savior is notlying. Read His Words again.

    Yahchanan 5:26-2926 For just as the Father has life in

    Himself, so He has given to the Sonto have life in Himself;

    27 And has given Him Authority toexecute Judgment also, because He isthe Son of Man.

    28 Do not be astonished at thisforthe hour is coming in which all whoare in the graves will hear His Voice,

    29 And will come forth. Those whohave practiced Righteousness will beresurrected in order to live; and those

    who have practiced wickedness willbe resurrected in order to be damned.

    These are the Saviors Words,Pope Francis. Those who practiceRighteousness will live. They willbe given Eternal Life. Those whopractice what you practice will bedamned. Unless you repent andconvert, your sentence is set.Revelation 20:15

    And whoever was not found writtenin The Book of Life was cast into thelake of re.

    Yahchanan 5:29 damned

    You know you are guilty of theProphecy in Daniyl 7 .Daniyl 7:25

    And he wil l speak great wordsagainst Yahweh, and will wear out;mentally attack to cause to fall away,the Saints of Yahweh, and think tochange times; Yah wehs Feast Days,and Laws; and they will be given intohis hand until a time, and times, andthe dividing of time.

    You are also guilty of the Prophecyshown in Revelation 17 . You rep-resent the city that sits on sevenhills that has brought lth uponthe earth.

    Revelation 17:1-6, 181 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 ofthe great whore that sits upon many

    waters,2 With whom the kings of the earth

    have committed fornication; practicedidolatry: godworship (the worship of

    elohim), and the inhabitants of theearth have been made drunk with the wine of her forni cation.

    3 So he carried me away in theSpirit into the midst of godworshipers(worshipers of elohim); and I saw a

    woman sitting on a scarlet coloredbeast, full of names of blasphe my,having seven heads and ten horns.

    4 And the woman was arrayed inpurple and scarlet color, and decked

    with gold, and pre cious stones, andpearls, having a golden cup in herhand full of abominations and lthi -

    ness of her fornication.5 And upon her head was a name

    written: Mystery Babylon the great,the mother of the harlots and of theabominations of the earth.

    6 And I saw the woman drunk withthe blood of the Saints, and with theblood of the martyrs of Yahshua. And

    when I saw her, I wondered with greatastonishment.

    18 And the woman whom you saw,is that great city which reigns over thekings of the earth.

    Revelation 17:9 And here is the mind which has

    wisdom: The seven heads are sevenmountains on which the woman sits.

    You are not a Priest of Yahweh. ThePriests of Yahweh teach the Lawsof Righteousness.Malakyah 2:6-8

    6 Truthful teaching of the Laws wasin his mouth. Iniquity; perverseness,unrighteousness, was not found in hislips. He walked with Me in peace andequity; uprightness, and turned manyaway from iniquity; sin.

    7 For the Priests lips should keepknowledge, and they should seek theLaws at his mouth; for he is the Mes-senger of Yahweh.

    8 But you have turned from the way; you have caused many to stum-ble at the Laws; you have corruptedthe Covenant of Levi, says Yah weh.

    Now, you plan on moving the

    temple back to Jerusalem, Israel,because your plans are to destroymany, even Rome. You will takeyour seat in Jerusalem. There,you and your leader will nd yourrest. You know those Prophecies,dont you? Jerusalem and its people weredestroyed and burned. Now, Rome

    will also be destroyed and burned.How do I know this, Pope Francis?Because Yahshua, whose Nameyou replaced with Jesus and Christ,is High Priest over the Last DaysEstablished House of Yahweh.Micahyah 4:1-3

    1 But in the Last Days it will cometo pass that the mountain; promotion,of The House of Yahweh will be estab-lished in the chief of the na tions. It

    will be raised above all congregations;

    and all peoples will eventually ow toit.2 And many people will go and

    say; Come, and let us go up to themountain; uplifting, of Yahweh, andto the House of the Father of Yaaqob,and He will teach us of His Ways, and

    we will walk in His Paths. Because theLaws will depart from Zion, and the

    Word of Yahweh from Yerusalem.3 And He will judge between many

    people, and rebuke strong nations afaroff; and they will beat their swordsinto plowshares, and their spears into

    pruninghooks. Nation will not lift upsword against nation, nor will theylearn war anymore.

    Hebrews 10:21 And having a High Priest over The

    House of Yahweh.Revelation 22:16

    I, Yahshua, have sent My Messen-ger to testify to you these things inthe congregations of The House of

    Yahweh. I am the Root and the Off-spring of David, and the Bright andMorning Star.

    There are no winners in the wars you are ghting.

    Wars, not of your making butyou think you must fght themanyway.

    Yahwehs Way was taken frommankind because it was rejected.So Yahweh said that He wouldallow mankind to go his own wayfrst and show him what his endwould be.

    In this generation, anyonecan see what rejecting YahwehsLaws has brought to all nations.

    Yahwehs Laws teach health, joy,and peace, none of which arepresent in the world today. Why do we not have healthyminds and bodies? Why do we

    not have joyous living? Why areour lives being continuouslybombarded with sickness, dis-ease, cancer and STDs? Why arechildren being born with all kindsof deformities and diseases of allkinds that kill them young? The absolute truth is this,everyone in the world has allbeen taught the same thing -- toavoid the Laws of health, joy, and

    peace. I am now offering you theLaws that will bring you all three- health, joyous living, and lastingpeace. Please read this whole ar-ticle, or you will not understandthe Great Power behind thisPerfect Way that I will show you. I ask that you take a look atwhat you have accomplished

    thus far. What you have expe-rienced in the battles you havefought has only brought youheartache, and now sicknessthroughout your countries. Yourwomen and children are beingmolested and killed. You havewounds that will never heal, andthere will be more and greaterdestruction than you have al-ready suffered.

    Forced To FightI know you are somewhat famil-iar with the Inspired Writings ofthe Prophets of Yahweh. I alsoknow, from talking with manyof your representatives, that youdo believe their Writings were in-spired. Think about this, the frstmurder was committed by Cain.Cain murdered his Righteousbrother, Abel. Then Yahweh toldCain that what he had done wasto choose war.

    Choose War?Cain could, and should have, cho-sen the Peaceful Solution Char-acter Education Program that

    Yahweh offered. Cain thought he

    was losing out; so, out of desper-ation, he chose war as the wayto solve his problem. War, notonly brought a miserable futureto Cain, but to all those who fol-lowed him, which have been allnations, peoples, and languages. One of the twelve Disciplesof Yahshua Messiah, Yahdah byname, was inspired to write:

    Yahdah 1:11 Woe to them! For they have

    gone in the way of Cain, have rungreedily in the error of Balaamfor reward, and have perished inthe rebellion of Korah!

    For his act of choosing war,

    Yahweh said to Cain:Genesis 4:14

    Surely You have driven me outthis day from the face of theground; I shall not be seen by

    Your Face. I shall be a fugitiveand a vagabond on the earth,for there shall be continual war,vengeance, and retaliation.

    If you will read the rest of this let-ter with the above in mind, it will

    make sense. And if you acceptthis Promise from Yahweh, pro-tection and blessings will followyou and your families. At the spur of an angry mo-ment, Cain made his decisionthat has led the rebellious tocontinual war, vengeance, andretaliation. These are also thechoices you are being urged tomake by political leaders, who

    are led by religious leaders. Noneof them practice the PeacefulSolution Character EducationProgram . None of them keepthe Laws of Righteousness, as isshown by the Inspired Prophetsand Apostles of Yahweh.I Yahchanan 3:4, 7-8, 10

    4 Whoever commits sin, trans-gresses also the Laws; for sin is

    This letter is not only to Al Qaeda, but to all peoplewho desire peace; yet, feel they must ght to savetheir lives and protect their way of life.

    I am offering you help,

    straight from Yahweh, the

    Creator.

    the transgression of the Laws.7 Little children, let no man

    deceive you; he who practicesRighteousness is Righteous, justas He is Righteous.

    8 He who commits sin is of thedevil, for the devil has sinnedfrom the beginning. For thispurpose the Son of Yahweh wasmanifested; that He might de-stroy the works of the devil.

    10 In this the Children of Yahweh and the children of thedevil are manifest. Whoeverdoes not practice Righteousnessis not of Yahweh, and he doesnot love his neighbor!

    Revelation 22:12-14 12 And behold, I come quickly,

    and My Reward is with Me, togive every man according as hiswork will be.

    13 I am the First and the Last,the Beginning and the End.

    14 Blessed are those who keepHis Laws, that they may haveright to the Tree of Life, and may

    enter in through the gates intothe City.

    Yahdah 1:11 Woe to them! For they have

    gone in the way of Cain, have rungreedily in the error of Balaamfor reward, and have perished inthe rebellion of Korah!

    Notice the phrase, rebellionof Korah. Korah tried to turnthe twelve tribes away fromthe Peaceful Solution CharacterEducation Program that Yahwehwas teaching them throughMosheh at that time. However,

    Yahweh did not allow Korahs

    plans to succeed and Korahperished.

    Yahweh is offering thesame thing to you at thistime.

    Yahweh has started a Workof Peace , at this time, among AlQaeda sufferers, and those of allnations who desire peace insteadof war. There is a Protected Placeprophesied for this generation.

    Why protection, and from what

    will Yahweh protect us?Please study this carefully. Foralmost 6,000 years of manshistory, there were no automobiles,airplanes, rockets or bombs. Duringthose years, mankind traveled by

    wagon, horses, camels, or mules.I repeat, cars, planes, rockets,and bombs came into existencein my generation by permission of

    Yahwehs Prophets. Knowledge was not increaseduntil this generation. People werestill traveling and doing all kindsof 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. How-ever, Mosheh prophesied aboutthe nuclear bomb, and died about3,434 years before technology wasgiven to mankind to build such

    weapons of destruction. Mosheh was only a man. Man-kind does not have the power toforetell the future. Yahweh, the Creator, inspired

    Mosheh to describe the power that will destroy the largest percentageof mankind in history. This meansthat Yahweh controls the time thatthese devices of nuclear destruc-tion would be made and used. When will they be used? Man

    now has them. They were onlyable to make them in this genera-tion. But does anyone know whenthey will be used? Its all in thesame Plan of Yahweh, the Planthat shows technology knowledge

    would not be available to mankinduntil this present generation. Inthis same Plan of events is shownthe when. Read on.

    Yes, Yahweh Offers You

    at this time

    Yahwehs Prophet Daniyl(607 to 531 BCE)

    Daniyl, the Great Prophet of Yah weh, l ived near ly threethousand years before thislast generation; yet, he wroteProphecies concerning this lastgeneration of mans governmentsof and by the people. Daniyl wrote of the greatesttime of trouble that would ever beallowed to be brought by mansgovernments 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 Abelto teach Yahwehs Just, Perfect Lawsto the children of Your People; and

    there will be a time of trouble, suchas never was since there was a nationto that same time. And at that time,

    Your People will be delivered, every-one who will be found written in TheBook of Life .

    2 And many of those who sleepin the dust of the earth will awake;some to Everlasting Life, and someto shame and everlasting contempt.

    3 And those who are wise will shineas the brightness of the heavens; andthose who turn many to Righteous-ness, as the stars forever and ever.

    4 But you, O Daniyl, shut up the words, and seal the book to the timeof The End; many will run to and fro,and knowledge will be increased.

    There are FOUR things I wouldhave you see in these verses.

    the greatest time of troubleyet to come

    the rst resurrection

    a turning to Righteousness

    I Yahchanan 3:4, 7-8, 104 Whoever commits sin, trans-

    gresses also the Laws; for sin is thetransgression of the Laws.

    7 Little children, let no man deceiveyou; he who practices Righteousnessis Righteous, just as He is Righteous.

    8 He who commits sin is of thedevil, for the devil has sinned from thebeginning. For this purpose the Sonof Yahweh was manifested; that Hemight destroy the works of the devil.

    10 In this the Children of Yahwehand the children of the devil aremanifest. Whoever does not practiceRighteousness is not of Yahweh, and he does not love his neighbor!

    The End, the last genera-tion is when all these takeplace

    You are about to see all four ofthem in this generation. In verse1, we see a time of trouble greaterthan anything in history. Verse 4 ,shows this Prophecy would notbe revealed until The End. Verse2 shows this to be the time of theresurrection of the dead. Verse 3 shows for that time period, whichis this present and last generation,there will be many turned toRighteousness. Notice:Daniyl 12:3

    And those who are wise will shineas the brightness of the heavens; andthose who turn many to Righteous-ness, as the stars forever and ever.

    Righteousness? Righteousness isnot what the religions of the worldare practicing today. In fact, theyhave all gone the way of Cain andhave rebelled like Korah, as youcan read in:

    Yahdah 1:11 Woe to them! For they have gone

    in the way of Cain, have run greedilyin the error of Balaam for reward,and have perished in the rebellionof Korah!

    Righteousness is:Deuteronomy 6:1, 5-7, 25

    1 Now these are the Laws, theStatutes, and the Judgments which

    Yahweh your Father has commandedme to teach you: so that you may

    observe them in the land you arecrossing over to possess;

    5 And you must love Yahweh yourFather with all your heart, and withall your soul, and with all your might.

    6 And these Laws which I com-mand you this day must be in yourheart;

    7 And you must teach them dili-gently to your children, and talk about

    them when you sit in your house, and when you walk on the road, and whenyou lie down, and when you rise up.

    25 And it will be our Righteousnessif we observe to do all of these Lawsbefore Yahweh our Father, as He hascommanded us.

    Christianity teaches that theSavior did away with the Laws ofRighteousness. But the Savior saidthe following, which proves themto be liars:Mattithyah 19:17

    But He said to him: Why do youquestion Me about Righteousness?There is only One Who is the Stan-dard of Perfection, and He is Yahweh;so if you would enter into Life, keepthe Laws of Yahweh.

    In the last Revelation given tomankind, the Savior said:Revelation 22:12-14

    12 And behold, I come quickly, andMy Reward is with Me, to give everyman according as his work will be.

    13 I am the First and the Last, theBeginning and the End.

    14 Blessed are those who keep HisLaws, that they may have right to theTree of Life, and may enter in throughthe gates into the City.

    The twelve Disciples called themliars too.I Yahchanan 2:4

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

    The Savior, Yahshua Messiah,in speaking of those who donot practice Yahwehs Laws ofRighteousness, said:

    Yahchanan 8:44-4744 You are of your teacher who is

    Satan the devil , and whatever she who is your teacher desires, you will

    do. She was a murderer from thebeginning, and remained not in theTruth, because there is no Truth in her.Therefore, when you speak your false-hoods, you speak her words, becauseshe 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, be-cause you are not of Yahweh.

    From the above, we see it is Satan who is leading the nations in war,as she led Cain in the very begin-ning. 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 hisbrothers were Righteous.

    13 Do not marvel, my brothers, ifthe world hates you.

    14 We know that we have passedfrom death to life, because we lovethe brothers. He who does not lovehis neighbor abides in death.

    15 Whoever hates his neighbor is amurderer; and you know that no mur-derer has Eternal Life abiding in him.

    Compare this with the Inspired Writings in:I Yahchanan 3:4, 7-8, 10

    4 Whoever commits sin, trans-gresses also the Laws; for sin is thetransgression of the Laws.

    7 Little children, let no man deceiveyou; he who practices Righteousnessis Righteous, just as He is Righteous.

    8 He who commits sin is of thedevil, for the devil has sinned from thebeginning. For this purpose the Sonof Yahweh was manifested; that Hemight destroy the works of the devil.

    10 In this the Children of Yahwehand the children of the devil aremanifest. Whoever does not practiceRighteousness is not of Yahweh, and he does not love his neighbor!

    The Prophet Daniyl was inspiredto foretell that the fourth beast,

    which all scholars know was, and

    still is, the roman catholic empireand church, would ght against theProphets of Yahweh and changethe times (Feasts) and Laws. They were the force that Satangave power to take Righteousnessaway from the people. They actuallytook the Inspired Scriptures awayfrom all nations, and made it adeath penalty to practice YahwehsRighteous Laws, for almost 2,000years.Daniyl 7:25

    And he wil l speak great wordsagainst Yahweh, and will wear out;mentally attack to cause to fall away,the Saints of Yahweh, and think tochange times; Yahwehs Feast Days,and Laws; and they will be given intohis hand until a time, and times, andthe dividing of time.

    Its plain to see that Satan is lead-ing all nations in the way of Cain atthis time. Yahwehs Prophets alsoforetold the time it would all end.Remember, Daniyl prophesied for atime when many people would turnto Righteousness, and Righteous-ness is keeping Yahwehs Laws.I Yahchanan 3:4, 7-8, 10

    4 Whoever commits sin, trans-gresses also the Laws; for sin is thetransgression of the Laws.

    7 Little children, let no man deceiveyou; he who practices Righteousnessis Righteous, just as He is Righteous.

    8 He who commits sin is of thedevil, for the devil has sinned from thebeginning. For this purpose the Sonof Yahweh was manifested; that Hemight destroy the works of the devil.

    10 In this the Children of Yahwehand the children of the devil aremanifest. Whoever does not practiceRighteousness is not of Yah weh, and he does not love his neighbor!

    Deuteronomy 6:25 And it will be our Righteousnessif we observe to do all of these Lawsbefore Yahweh our Father, as He hascommanded us.

    Then, Daniyl was told to seal therest of the information until thetime of The End.

    This is the time of THE END!

    In the same Prophecy for TheEnd, Daniyl said MANY WILLTURN TO RIGHTEOUSNESS .Remember, Righteousness iskeeping Yahwehs Laws.I Yahchanan 3:4, 7-8

    4 Whoever commits sin, trans-gresses also the Laws; for sin is thetransgression of the Laws.

    Daniyl 12:3 And those who are wise will shine

    as the brightness of the heavens; andthose who turn many to Righteous-ness, as the stars forever and ever

    The Prophet Malakyah shows theRighteous will greatly rejoice.Malakyah 4:2

    But for you who reverence MyName, the Light of Righteousness

    will arise with healing in its wings;and you will go out, leaping like calvesreleased from the stall.

    They are rejoicing in the sameLaws that the religions did away

    with, whose actions of rebellion arecausing continual war, as Cain, dueto hating Righteousness.I Yahchanan 3:12

    Not as Cain, who was of that wick-ed one, and murdered his brother.

    And why did he murder his brother?Because his works were evil, and hisbrothers were Righteous.

    Notice again for this generation:Daniyl 12:3

    And those who are wise will shineas the brightness of the heavens; andthose who turn many to Righteous-ness, as the stars forever and ever

    Daniyl 12:10Many will be puri ed , and made

    white, and tried; tested; but the wick-ed will do wickedly; and none of the

    wicked will understand, but the wise will understand.

    You nations that hate war canstart now to turn from war. There

    is prophesied Protection now forthose nations or people who desirePeace and Righteousness. Other-

    wise, 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 2:31-3231 The sun will be turned into

    darkness, and the moon into blood,before the great and the wonderfulday of Yahweh comes.

    32 And whoever will call with theName of Yahweh will be delivered.For The House of Yahweh; those

    who keep Yahwehs Laws through thePriest who teaches peace, there willbe deliverance, as Yahweh has said,among the remnant who has escapedof those whom Yahweh calls.

    Yeremyah 23:1-21 Woe to the pastors; shepherds,

    who destroy and scatter the sheep ofMy Pasture! says Yahweh.2 Therefore, this is what Yahweh,

    the Father of Israyl, says against thepastors who feed My People: You havescattered My Flock, and driven themaway, and have not visited; attendedto, them. Behold, you are going to becalled to account for the evil of yourdoings, says Yahweh:

    Now get this Prophecy that is beingful lled.

    Yeremyah 23:3-53 But I will gather the remnant of

    My Flock out of all countries wherethey had been driven, and bring themback 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 willfear 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 aRighteous Branch, and a King willreign and succeed, and will execute

    Judgment and justice in the earth.

    This Prophecy is in action now, inthis generation, as prophesied.Mattithyah 24:14

    And this joyous Message of theKingdom of Yahweh shall be preachedin all the world from The Houseof Yahweh at Abel by the Witness

    Yisrayl; for Yahweh will be with him. He will preach this Message to allnations; and then The End will come.

    Ask for information on the Branchand King. Back to:

    Yeremyah 23:6-86 In His days Yahdah will be saved,

    and Israyl will dwell safely; and thisis the Name that He will proclaim tothem Yahweh Tsidqenu: YAHWEHOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.

    7 Therefore behold, the days come,says Yahweh, that they will no longersay; As surely as Yahweh lives Whobrought up the children of Israyl outof the land of Egypt;

    8 But they will say; As surely as Yahweh lives Who brought up and ledthe Seed of the house of Israyl into theProtected Place at Abel, and from allcountries where they had been driven;and they will dwell in their own land.

    Out of the Protected Place they will receive training and protectionfrom the great nuclear destructionthat is getting ready to hit all na-tions. Notice now the Prophecy ofthis great gathering that is actuallytaking place at this time.Revelation 7:1-17

    1 And after these things I sawfour messengers standing on the fourcorners of the earth, hold ing the four

    winds of the earth, so that the windshould not blow on the earth, nor onthe sea, nor on any tree.

    2 And I saw another Malak ascend-ing from the east, having the Seal of

    the Living Father; and he cried with aloud voice to the four messengers, to

    whom it was given to hurt the earthand the sea,

    3 Saying: Hurt not the earth, nei-ther the sea, nor the trees, until wehave sealed the servants of our Fatherin their foreheads.

    4 And I heard the number of those who were sealed: And there weresealed 144,000 of all the tribes of thechildren of Israyl.

    5 Of the tribe of Yahdah weresealed 12,000. Of the tribe of Reubenwere sealed 12,000. Of the tribe ofGad were sealed 12,000.

    6 Of the tribe of Asher were sealed12,000. Of the tribe of Naphtali weresealed 12,000. Of the tribe of Me-nasheh were sealed 12,000.

    7 Of the tribe of Simeon weresealed 12,000. Of the tribe of Leviwere sealed 12,000. Of the tribe ofIssachar were sealed 12,000.

    were sealed 12,000. Of the tribe ofBenyamin were sealed 12,000.

    9 After this I looked, and behold, agreat multitude, which no man couldnumber, of all nations, tribes, peoples,and tongues, standing before theThrone and before the Lamb, clothed

    with whi te robes, and with palmbranches; taught to keep Yahwehs

    Feasts, in their hands;

    10 And crying with a loud voice,saying: Salvation to our Father Whosits upon the Throne, and unto theLamb!

    11 And all the malakim stoodsurrounding the Throne, the elders,and the four living creatures; and fellbefore the Throne on their faces, and

    worshiped Yahweh,12 Saying: HalleluYahweh! Bless-

    ing, and Glory, and Wisdom, andThanksgiving, and Honor, and Power,and Might, belong to our Father for-ever and ever! HalleluYahweh!

    13 And one of the elders asked,saying to me: Who are these who arearrayed in white robes, and where didthey come from?

    14 And I said to him: Ruler, youknow. And he said to me: These arethe ones who come out of the GreatTribulation , who have truly puri edthemselves by forsaking God (thegods) and those who worship God(the gods), and who have repentedfrom their murders (bloodshed, war).

    15 Therefore, they are before theThrone of Yahweh, and serve Him day

    and night in His House. And He Whosits on the Throne will dwell amongthem.

    16 They will hunger no more, nei-ther thirst anymore; neither will thesun strike them, nor any heat.

    17 For the Lamb Who is in themidst of the Throne will feed them,and will lead them to Living Fountains

    of Waters. And Yahweh will wipe awayall tears from their eyes.

    War Is The Worst Way To Settle A Matter

    War does not make friends. I knowyou think you are being forcedinto war. President Barak Obama

    thinks the same thing. He, too,desires peace and would gladlyaccept it, but war is all he sees atthis time.

    There is a prophesied way to peaceand protection at this time. Thereis a prophesied way to stop all warsand never be forced into bearingarms again. The Prophecies areTrue. You have the increase inknowledge to prove it. You havethe automobiles, planes, rockets,bombs and computers to prove thisProphecy was ful lled, and provingthat knowledge was increased inthe very time period the Prophetsof Yahweh show it would cometo pass. The hatred is here. Thenuclear disasters are here. The dis-ease epidemics are here. All of thisproving, with not a doubt possible,this is the time of The End.

    Now you have the prophesiedProtection offered to you by Yahweh. I know you are thinkingif you dont ght you will die andthats the reason thousands aredying at this time. Prophecy showsyou 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 nothingsure in war, except death and de-struction. This Prophecy is sure.Its the only sure way of Peace andProtection. There is a way shown by

    Yahwehs Prophets that all nationscan have 100% peace. Prophecyshows that anyone, from anynation, will have His Protectionif they will follow His Last DaysProphesied Work.

    Contact me now and let me getyou started on a short program thatyou 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 inspiredHis Prophets to write, and thatthe prophesied future is also 100%sure, as stated. All you need to do at this timeis to call and get involved with theone Yahweh prophesied of and Hesent to bring peace in this genera-tion, and the Protected Place from

    which this Work proceeds.

    Excerpt from sermon given 12/15/12

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

    It seems kind of strange to be re- joicing in the House, but the fact is,

    the reason we rejoice before Yahwehis because He has a Plan to stop all ofthis trouble that we see taking place.So we have room to rejoice! In fact,He tells us to.

    You saw the news, you saw theshape the world is getting into. Andtheyre saying that the things that arefeared are now on the horizon and

    we can see that things more dreadfulthan these even are going to cometo pass. And of course, unless some-thing is done now, if it had been done

    when I rst brought out the causeof these school shootings, we couldhave had it turned around by now.

    But Yahweh says the world is goingto reject the cure for school shoot-ings, for wars, for hatred. The nextthing youll probably hear is disar-mament. And, of course, I agree withthat. I think we should start rst withthe military, and then we should go

    to the police force. The citizens then,they will disarm themselves. Theyll

    beat their swords into plowsharesand their spears into pruning hooksif well just do the other.

    The only thing thats going to helpthis is education.

    There are no answers in the world.There is an answer, and The Houseof Yahweh is the only one that hasthe answer. Its called education. Ed-ucation is the answer. Thats the an-swer, not what youre nding in theschools. Thats not the answer.

    Now we do know that educationin the Peaceful Solution Character

    Education Program starts to workimmediately on these minds. Even

    when theyre sick, it starts to workimmediately. This has been proven.Its been proven in the prisons, in theschools. Disorderly children, bully-ing, and so forth, its corrected all ofit in just a few short lessons. And theteachers are saying theyre absolutely

    amazed. It even stops stealing, theysaid, in the schools.

    Yahweh shows that what youchoose to practice changes the DNAin that direction. Your genes are inthis way transferred to your offspringand your seed.

    Yahweh, in the Last Days, has start-ed a Work that will actually turn thisaround. Its already in progress andits going to turn this world aroundand you wont be seeing anymoreschool shootings. In fact, Yahwehsays theyll actually beat their swordsinto plowshares and their spears intopruning hooks at that time.

    This is a reality. Its going to takeplace. Its already taking place. Thepeople who have the Peaceful Solu-tion Character Education Program ,the ones that are teaching this andthe ones who are practicing this, theysee the difference. They see the dif-ference in themselves and in theirchildren.

    Now, if youre training, and I readthis before, but I want to read itagain, if a farmer has been a farmerfor several generations, that goes intothe children, boys or girls, and morethan likely theyll be farmers. Some-times theyll break the gene, or some-times the gene is not there. Its nota concrete thing, because there are

    so many changes that Yahweh creat-ed that can take place. And you canchange your genes very easily withteaching or with practice.

    Native Americans and Northern Europeans More Closely RelatedThan Previously Thought. Using

    genetic analyses, scientists havediscovered that Northern European

    populations--including British Scan-dinavians, French, and some East-ern Europeans--descend from a mix-ture of two very different ancestral

    populations, and one of these pop-ulations is related to Native Ameri-cans... So through these genes nowthey can actually tell you this, and bytheir occupations.

    This research was published inthe November 2012 issue of the Ge-netics Society of Americas JournalGENETICS .

    According to Nick Patterson, rst author of the report, There isa genetic link between the paleolith-

    ic population of Europe and modern Native Americans. The evidenceis that the population that crossedthe Bering Strait from Siberia intothe Americas more than Twothousand. years ago was likelyrelated to the ancient population of

    Europe Heres how they know--DNA.

    To make this discovery, Patter- son worked with Harvard MedicalSchool Professor of Genetics David

    Reich and other colleagues to study DNA diversity, and found that one ofthese ancestral populations was the

    rst farming population The rstfarming population. of Europe,whose DNA lives on today... This isso beautiful because it shows exact-ly what Yahweh shows in the HolyScriptures.

    in relatively unmixed forms inSardinians and the people of the

    Basque Country, and in at least the Druze population in the Middle East.

    said Mark Johnston, Edi-tor-in-Chief of the journal, GENET-ICS . This relationship betweenhumans separated by the AtlanticOcean reveals surprising features ofthe migration pattern of the ances-tors and reinforces the truth that all

    humans are closely related. Well, what I want you to see is thatteaching puts in the body this genetic

    eld that were seeing. Like breedinga bird dog, you take the best traitsthat you want in the bird dog and youcross it, cross those two with maleand female and you keep getting abetter breed thats easier to train andso forth.

    The same thing in Righteousness.From the Righteous genes of one per-son, it can help the person and keepthat person from getting on the wrongtrack. Now, by teaching you can alsohelp the person get off of the wrongtrack and onto the right track. Thats

    what character education is all about.This is accomplished with teachingand practice, of course. Practicing,like I Yahchanan 3 and verses 4, 7,and 8. I Yahchanan 3, no use in turn-ing there, Im going to come rightback here. I Yahchanan or I John ifyou have a King James Version. Sin

    is the transgression of the Laws.But now verse 7 says he who prac-tices, he who practices. Now this ischanging the genes. He who prac-tices changing your genes. Well, ifyoure practicing Righteousness,youre changing your genes to Righ-teousness. What is Righteousness?Thats the Laws of Yahweh. Sin is thebreaking of those Laws; Righteous-ness is keeping them.

    And then He says, dont let anyman deceive you. Dont let any mandeceive you, he who practices Righ-teousness becomes Righteous justas Yahweh is Righteous. The worldis only educated in vocation. Theyspend all their lives in this, vocationand thrills.

    And the vocation that the childrenare learning right now, its nothing.It amounts to nothing in Righteous-ness. It doesnt teach anything about

    Righteousness. It teaches you howto work for a corporation, thats all.The skills that you learn could easilybe jerked out from under you. Thatshow uncertain it is.

    Thats whats been going on in the world now since about 1941. And what youre seeing, the results is rightnow, they cant see around the cor-

    ner, they cant see over the hill. Andtheyve got a problem here in front ofthem that is eating them up and theydont know what to do. They dontknow how to study out the problem.They dont know any solutions be-cause they havent been taught any-thing except vocation, trade, or someskill or something.

    Thats all thats going on in theschools. Theres no Righteousnessbeing taught there. You cant evenhang the Ten Commandments on the

    wall in a school. Its illegal. Its illegalto teach Yahwehs Way to your chil-dren. Yes, and thats in America.

    Well, in teaching this and not teach-ing a person character education,how to make the right decisions, howto get over a problem when you havea problem, how to get by it. Some-ones bullying you? Character edu-cation has the problem solved. It hasthe answer to the problem. It has theanswer to every problem. Education

    is the answer.Disarmament? Yes, but that wontgo very far. Take the guns away. Twen-ty people in Japan were stabbed withknives. Youre gonna have to educatethem because if you take one away,theyre gonna get a weapon from theother unless you educate them in thefact that they dont need weapons.

    Our government in the UnitedStates needs education in that eld.

    While theyre talking about peace,theyre improving their bombs thatthey want to use on other countries.

    Well, what are the other countriesdoing? They see this. And they said,Well, do you mean this treaty thatyou signed dont mean anything?Oh, yeah, were gonna disarm. Youdo it rst though and then we will.

    Well, this is the confusion that were facing now, all over the world.Religion, what do they teach? They

  • 8/13/2019 Yisrayl Hawkins Says - The Pope Is Right About One Thing...

    18/23

    The Prophetic Word 11/2013Page 18

    teach you the same thing the mov-ies teach you, how to kill, that youshould be patriotic to your country. Ifthey want you to murder, go out andmurder, but do it according to theirguidelines. Dont just go out thereand murder, do it according to theirguidelines. They tell you to go dropthis bomb, go drop the bomb. Thats

    what they tell you.The movies are teaching our chil-dren more than the parents are. Thetelevisions, the computer, theyregetting it all from that point rightthere. Thats the reason their atten-tion spans are zilch, just dots hereand there. Theyve got a problem athome, with a brother, with a dad,

    with a mother, they dont know any-thing about how to solve it.

    Its a sad thing. Its a sad, sad thing.But Yahweh says that Im going to letthem go their way and nothing is gon-na be withheld from them. They dont

    want to retain this Knowledge, thenlet it be taken from them. Well, theyquickly pushed it aside and they de-

    veloped these reprobate minds, fullof anger like Cain. All the world hasgone the way of Cain. Thats what

    Yaaqob said. All the world has gone the way of

    Cain. And thats what were seeing inthe world today.

    What were facing right now, itsnot going to stop. They dont haveany answers to what is taking placein the world. They dont have any an-swers for the nations either. Theyreas confused as they are about theschool shooting that just took place.The only answer there is, is educa-tion. But not in trades, unless youconsider the teaching of the Peace-

    ful Solution Character Education Program a trade. But that is the onlything thats gonna solve this prob-lem; education.

    If they would start, now I said thisabout thirty years ago, if you wouldstart now to teaching this, you wouldbe putting in your childrens genesthis Righteous character that Yahwehactually proved through the twelvetribes. He shows it. Well get deeperinto because I want to tie all of thisin with this shooting because this

    is causing this. Its also causing thedroughts, the unnatural disasters totake place, so well get deeper intothis. But, if you would have startedthirty years ago this boy who wastwenty would have had ten yearsof genes that would have went in--Righteous genes being forced into hisbrain. So when he was born he would

    have had that to work with. As it is now, there are still no chil-dren in the world that are receivingthe power to make Righteous de-cisions. Its not being taught. Theyteach them in everything there isexcept the Peaceful Solution Char-acter Education Program . And theeducation is in front of them all thetime here. From the time they get upof a morning, this stupid television

    where theres nothing but lies thatare brought forth on it.

    The movies, even the churches areteaching the same lies. They haventgot sense enough to change. They ha-

    vent got sense enough to say, This isa lie in my right hand, Im not goingto do it anymore. Santa Claus didcome down my chimney last night.I saw him ying his sleigh throughthe sky. They showed it on television.Hes being pulled by the same rein-deers. 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 alittle time in the world, get the char-acter education program that Imtalking about and start teaching yourchildren. If we got this to all the na-tions right now, think of this, if ourgovernment would take the moneyfrom one bomb that theyre tryingto build, one bomb, they could reachall of these nations over there, alltheir educational ministers with the

    Peaceful Solution Character Edu-cation Program . He, in return now,

    would want this for all of his people.Once he reads this and sees what itlldo, hell want it for all of his people.Think about that now.

    If President Barack Obama rightnow would say lets take this moneyand put it in a character educationprogram and lets get it to all thenations, lets introduce it to all the

    schools here and let them start teach-ing it, and lets give it a test. Lets giveit 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 whenshe rst started teaching this in herclass, a big class, large class, she

    wrote to us a few weeks later and

    said, I cant believe it but this is therst time in all of my teaching andIve been teaching for twenty years,and she said this is the rst time thatI can honestly say that there is nostealing taking place in my classroomanymore.

    Now, you world leaders that aregetting this and I know you are. Iknow youre checking me out, I seeyou checking my internet site out,so I know youre checking it out, ifyou would just try it for six monthsyoull see school shootings stop. Andthe people, what you can put in theirminds in six months, theyll startsaying hey, we dont need this war.

    We could have a prosperous econo-my right now if we would just followthese lessons right here. Thats whattheyll be saying.

    We dont need to take those peo-ples property. We dont need it, wegot this. We could have wealth galorein just a little while. If we just put

    away everything else and go to thisright here, we would have wealth thatyou wont believe, unimaginable. Allfrom this one program, the PeacefulSolution Character Education Pro-

    gram . As this ad that I saw so manytimes says...

    TRY IT! YOULL LIKE IT!

    HALL WEEN! Modern Day Sacri ces Of The Dead

    The Laws, Statutes and Judgmentsof Yahweh were not given just to beignored. Mosheh was not ignorantof the worship of the pagan nations.They worshiped demons, which areled by Satan the devil. The worshipof these demons were practices ofappeasement. These Gods had to befed during licentious feasts of lust andsexual excesses. These Gods also hadto be fed the lives of the worshipersown children . The ancient Babylonians had aGod called Samas , as we nd in The

    Encyclopedia Judaica , Volume 5, page1020....for example, before going out to battlewith the Babylonian king Kastilias, theAssyrian king accuses the latter of betrayaland violation of the treaty between them,and as proof he reads the treaty in a loudvoice before the god Samas.

    The Encyclopedia Judaica , Volume14, page 719 says:Samael, from the Amoraic period onwardthe major name of Satan in Judaism.

    Jewish legend says Samael-Samielis the angel of death and the head ofthe devils. The Greek rendering of the

    word, Samael is Sammane....includes the name, although not in the

    Halloween!The Yearbook of English Festivals, byDorothy Gladys Spicer, 1954, pages153-157, show us the ancient mean-ings of Halloween, All Saints Day and

    All Souls Day. All of these are part ofthe ancient sacri ces of the dead.

    ALL HALLOWS EVEOctober 31. All Hallows Eve or All HallowEen, with its tradition of witches, ghosts,hobgoblins and sprites, its games andincantations, still is a gay time for pranksand parties in many North Country homes.Transplanted to New World soil, the oldpractices have become revitalized and cur-rently are observed with more enthusiasmthan in the country of their birth. To ancient Druids the end of Octobercommemorated the festival of the waningyear, when the sun began his downwardcourse and ripened grain was garneredfrom the elds. Samhain , or SummersEnd, as this feast to the dying sun wascalled, was celebrated with human sacri-

    ce , augury and prayer; for at this seasonspirits walked and evil had power oversouls of men. Not until the fourth century did the pa-

    gan vigil for the god of light give way to AllHallows, the mass for Christian saints; andnot until the tenth, did the Druids deathfeast become All Souls, the day of prayerfor souls that had entered rest. Cakesfor the dead were substituted for humansacri ce , fortune-telling for heathen augu-ry, lighted candles for the old Baal resGradually, the last night of October rsta Druid feast, then a Christian holy dayemerged as a night of gaiety, when youngpeople played games and read fortunesfrom simple objects, such as apples, cab-bages, or nuts. Indeed, nuts became such a favorite

    means of divination, that All Hallow Eenwas known as Nutcrack Night.Next to nuts, apples feature in All Hallow

    Een divinations. Apple-bobbing still is aspopular in the North Country as in ruralAmerica. Even pips and parings come infor their share of attention.

    Though many old All Hallow Een cus-toms have disappeared, survivals of AllSouls (November 2), as will be seen, stillexist in many communities. Soulers, notvery unlike American Halloween mummers,still make village rounds and beg for soul

    cakes, instead of something for Hallow-een.

    ALL SAINTS AND ALL SOULSNovember 1 and 2 The early English Church called AllSaints, the feast to commemorate all the

    saints, All Hallows. Hallow Een, All Saintsand All Souls (October 31, November1 and 2, respectively) share a commontradition. The three festivals concern re-membrance of departed souls. Hallow Een,as already noted, is celebrated with gamesand divination rites, since people oncebelieved spirits of the dead walked abroadon this night. All Saints and All Souls, onthe other hand, are popularly observed withsouling customs and plays. Originally,these demonstrations were intended tohonor the faithful departed and to easethe pain of the bereaved. Souling, or Soul-caking, is thecustom descended from pre-Reformationtimes, of going about on All Saints or AllSouls and begging for cakes, in remem-brance of the dead. The Soulers, singingverses inherited from a remote past, arerewarded with soul cakes.

    Once soulers of certain villages begantheir rounds with services in the parishchurch, the cakes householders gave werein exchange for prayers for the dead, acharity for the departed. In other words,soul cakes were intended as a bread doleto the community poor. Bon res, to lightsouls out of purgatory, and the ringing ofchurch bells, also characterized old-timeobservances.

    In The Book of Festival Holidays ,1964, by Marguerite Ickis, pages 123-

    125, we are shown the meaning behindthe traditions of halloween.The custom of holding a festival at harvesttime goes back over two thousand years.The last day of the year on the old pagancalendar, October 31, served the triplepurpose of bidding goodbye to summer,welcoming winter and remembering thedead . The Irish built tremendous bon reson hilltops to offer encouragement to thewaning sun and to provide a warm welcomefor visiting sprites and ghosts that walkedabout in the night. People of the British Isles had the quaintcustom of tossing objects, such as stones,vegetables and nuts, into a bonfire tofrighten away any spooks that mightbe near. These symbolic sacri ces werealso fortune telling props, still widely usedat Halloween parties today. If a pebblea man ung into the re at night was nolonger visible the following morning, peo-ple clucked sympathetically, believing theman wouldnt survive another year. If thenuts tossed by young lovers exploded inthe ames, theirs would be a quarrelsomemarriage, etc. More fearful of spooks than spouses,

    folks began hollowing out turnips andpumpkins and placing lighted candles in-side to scare evil spirits from the house.

    It was the Irish, too, who initiated thetrick or treat system hundreds of yearsago. Groups of Irish farmers would gofrom house to house soliciting food for thevillage Halloween festivities in the name ofno less a personage than Muck Olla (an-cient god of Irish clergy). Prosperity waspromised to cheerful givers and threats

    made against tight sted donors. It was thecustom for English children to dress up ineach others clothes (boys donning girlsout ts and vice versa) and, wearing masks,to go begging from door to door for soulcakes. From The Book of Holidays , 1958, by

    J. Walker McSpadden, pages 149-153are displayed here:Halloween, in spite of the fact that ittakes its name from a christian festival(All Hallows or All Saints Day), comesfrom pagan times and has never taken on

    a christian signi cance. There were two different festivals in theearly world at this time of year, and theyare both represented in our own Halloweenactivities. When you duck for apples, orthrow an apple paring over your shoulderto see what initial it makes on the oor, youare doing as the Romans didhonoring Po-mona, the Roman goddess of orchards andespecially of apple orchards. And when youlight a candle inside the jeering pumpkinface, you are in a small way imitating theCeltic Druids of northern Britain (describedin the chapter on Saint Patricks Day), wholit a re to scare away winter and the evil

    spirits who were waiting to come rushingin when summer was over. On that night between October andNovember , the Druids kindled great reson the hills as a barrier against the evil tocome. (These Halloween res still burnevery year in many places, but especiallyin Scotland and Wales). By waving burningwisps of plaited straw aloft on pitchforks,people tried to frighten off demons andwitches, but just in case this didnt work,they also put on grotesque and terrifyingcostumes. For if you dressed in a horribleenough fashion and went trooping aroundwith the spirits all night, they would thinkyou were one of them, and do you no harm.This is where the persistent Halloween cus-tom of dressing up and wearing masksoriginated; and among the children whocome to the door on Halloween, callingtrick or treat, the most alarming cos-tumes are still considered the best.

    When one studies the origins of thecustoms of the christian religion,one comes to the conclusion thatthe pagan worship was not banished

    from the world. The strongest paganreligions were just incorporated intochristianity. The book, Strange Stories,

    Amazing Facts , 1980, by the ReadersDigest Association, corroborates thisconclusion.

    Although Christianity has swept theworld in a relatively short time, as thehistories of great religions go, the early

    missionaries faced an uphill task. The pa-gans were reluctant to give up their falsegods and ancient practices. So the missionaries, unable to convertthem easily to an entirely new code ofworship, did the next best thing. Theytook the pagan festivals as they were andgradually grafted the observances of thenew faith onto these festivals and the ritesand customs surrounding them. December 25 was not called Christmasuntil the ninth century. Until then it hadbeen the Midwinter Feast, a combinationof the Norse Yule Festival and the RomanSaturnalia, both of which took place in late

    December. Like Christmas and Easter, the festivalof Halloween originated in a pagan cele-bration, even though its name derives fromthe Christian festival of All Hallows or AllSaints Eve. It was introduced in the seventh centuryto commemorate all those saints and mar-tyrs who had no special day to themselvesand was held on May 13. But in the eighthcentury All Hallows Day was moved toNovember 1, to counteract the pagancelebrations held on that date. October 31, the eve of November 1, wasthe last night of the year in the ancientCeltic calendar and was celebrated asthe end of summer and its fruitfulness. Itwas a festival that the Celts of northernEurope marked with bon res, to help thesun through the winter. Winter also called to mind the chill andblackness of the grave, and so it was a timewhen ghosts would walk, and supernaturalspirits, warlocks, and witches would holdtheir revels. Only since the late 18th and early 19thcenturies has Halloween developed into afestive time for children, with costumes,lanterns, and games. Before then it wasregarded 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 inweird masks and costumesto go fromhouse to house, singing and dancing tokeep evil at bay, or to go about as repre-sentations of the ghosts and goblins of thenight. The Halloween lantern, made from a hol-lowed-out pumpkin or turnip with a candleinside it, is a relic from the days when foodofferings were made to the spirits of thedead.

    THANKSGIVING D Part Of The Ancient P agan Harvest Festivals

    From the propaganda of public schoolsevery American knows how thanks-giving originated. In 1620 the smallband of pilgrims of Plymouth Colonybraved the perilous North Atlanticin quest of religious freedom. Theylanded in November and faced winter

    with meager supplies of food that dwin-dled rapidly. Fifty-five of the originalone-hundred two people who came onthe Mayflower died before spring. Be-cause the summer was blessed with rainand the autumn harvest was plentiful,the pilgrim colony, appropriately grate-ful, established a day of thanksgivingand invited the local Indians to sharetheir bounty. Supposedly, this is theorigin of the holiday known as thanks-giving and it is so pure and holy thateveryone can now observe this thanks-giving day with a clear conscience, forsurely this is pleasing to Yahweh. However satisfying it would be topoint 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, spring-ing up full grown, completely armed

    with roast turkey and cranberry sauce,from the mind of a pilgrim father. This

    American holiday gradually grew up inthe unique culture of Puritan New En-gland, an origin more complex than thelegend the public schools have nurturedfor generations.

    The Harvest Home

    The Encyclopedia Britannica, 1980, Vol-ume 5, tells of harvest home :Harvest Home, also called Ingathering, traditional English harvest festival, celebrat-ed from antiquity and surviving to moderntimes in isolated regions. Participants cel-ebrate the last day of harvest by singing,shouting, and decorating the village withboughs. The cailleac, or last sheaf of corn,which represents the spirit of the eld, ismade into a harvest doll and drenched withwater as a rain charm. This sheaf is saveduntil spring planting.

    The ancient festival also included thesymbolic murder of the grain spirit, as wellas rites for expelling the devil.

    Observations on the Popular Antiquities of Great Britain, by John Brand, GeorgeBell and Sons, 1908, pages 16-33 gives acomplete 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 Hea-thens, the heads of families, when they hadgot in their harvest, were wont to feast withtheir servants who had laboured for them intilling the ground. In exact conformity to this,it is common among Christians, when thefruits of the earth are gathered in and laid intheir proper repositories, to provide a plenti-ful supper for the harvest-men and the ser-vants of the family. At this entertainment allare, in the modern revolutionary idea of theword, perfectly equal. Here is no distinctionof persons, but ruler and servant sit at thesame table, converse freely together, andspend the remainder of the night in dancing,singing, and etc. in the most easy familiarity. Bourne thinks the original of both thesecustoms is Jewish, and cites Hospinian, whotells us that the heathens copied after thiscustom of the Jews, and at the end of theharvest offered up their rst fruits to thegods. For the Jews rejoiced and feasted atthe getting in of the harvest. This festivity is undoubtedly of the mostremote antiquity. That men in all nationswhere agriculture flourished should haveexpressed their joy on this occasion by someoutward ceremonies has its foundation inthe nature of things. Sowing is hope; reap-ing, 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 failof imparting an enviable feeling of delight.Festivity is but the re ex of inward joy, andit could hardly fail of being produced on thisoccasion, which is a temporary suspension ofevery care. The respect shown to servants at thisseason seems to have sprung from a gratefulsense of their services. Everything dependsat this juncture on their labour and despatch.Vacina (or Vacuna, so called as it is said

    a vacando, the tutelar deity, as it were, ofrest and ease), among the ancients, was thename of the goddess to whom rustics sacri-

    ced at the conclusion of harvest . Newton, in his Tryall of a Mans owne

    Selfe, 1602, p. 54, under Breaches of theSecond Commandments censure, theadorning with garlands or presenting unto anyimage of any Saint, whom thou hast made

    speciall choice of to be thy patron and advo-cate, the rstlings of thy increase, as corneand 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 offeringsare made on the altars of her tutelar gods,while thanks are returned for the collectedstores, and prayers are made for future easeand rest. Images, too, of straw or stubble, headds, are wont to be carried about on thisoccasion; and that in England he himself sawthe rustics bringing home in a cart a guremade of corn, round which men and womenwere singing promiscuously, preceded by adrum or piper. In a Journey into England, byPaul Hentzner, in the year 1598, ed. 1757,p.79, speaking of Windsor, he says: As wewere returning to our inn, we met somecountry people celebrating their HarvestHome; their last load of corn they crownwith owers, having besides an image richlydressed, by which perhaps they would signi-fy Ceres: this they would keep moving about,while men and women, men and maid-ser-vants, riding through the streets in the cart,shout as loud as they can till they arrive atthe barn. Hutchinson, in his History of Northum-berland, ii. ad nem, 17, says, I have seenin some places, an image apparelled in great

    nery, crowned with owers, a sheaf of cornplaced under her arm, and a scythe in herhand, carried out of the village in the morn-ing of the conclusive reaping day, with musicand much clamour of the reapers, into the

    eld, where it stands xed on a pole all day,and when the reaping is done, is broughthome in like manner. This they call the Har-vest Queen, and it represents the RomanCeres. An old woman, who is a respectableauthority on a subject of this nature, at avillage in Northumberland, informed that,not half a century ago, they used everywhereto dress up something similar to the gureabove described at the end of harvest, whichwas called a Harvest Doll, or Kern Baby.

    This northern word is plainly a corruption ofCorn Baby, or Image, and is the Kern supper,which we shall presently consider of Cornsupper. In Carews Survey of Cornwall, f. 20b, an ill-kerned or saved harvest occurs.

    The American Book of Days , by Jane M.Hatch, 1978, page 1053, tells us:

    Although Thanksgiving is one of the mostpopular holidays in the United States,the idea of setting aside a day to ex-press gratitude for good fortune did notoriginate in this country. In ancient timesmany peoples held special festivals in theautumn to give thanks for bountiful har-vests. The Greeks honored Demeter, theirgoddess of agriculture, with a nine-daycelebration, and in a similar fashion theRomans paid tribute to Ceres (identi edwith Demeter). After the crops had beengathered, the Anglo-Saxons rejoiced at aharvest home, which featured a heartyfeast. In Scotland the harvest celebrationwas known as a kirn and included specialchurch services and a substantial dinner.

    Celebrations: The Comprehensive Book of American Holidays , by Robert J. My-ers, 1972, pages 271-272, tells us:

    The harvest festival, with its attendantrites, seems to have spread out from arelatively small area of land, from Egyptand Syria and Mesopotamia . The rst orthe last sheaf of wheat was offered tothe Great Mother, or the Mother ofthe Wheatfor the earth-power wasessentially a feminine force. Astarte wasthe Earth Mother of the ancient Semites;to the Phrygians she was Semele; underthe name of Demeter she was worshipedby the Greeks at the famous EleusinianMysteries; Ceres, the Roman goddess ofcorn, presided over the October Cerelia.

    Our Wonderful World , by Grolier In-corporated, New York, 1966, Volume17, page 220, tells us of the harvestfestivals.

    From Rome to the New WorldThe Christians took over the Roman holidayand it became well established in England,where some of the Roman customs and ritu-als for this day were observed long after theRoman Empire had disappeared. In England the harvest home has

    been observed continuously for centuries.The custom was to select a harvest queenfor this holiday. She was decorated withthe grain of their elds and the fruit of theirtrees. On Thanksgiving Day she was paradedthrough the streets in a carriage drawn bywhite horses. This was a remnant of the Ro-man ceremonies in honor of Ceres. holiday islikely to continue, the world over, as long asmen obtain their food from the earth. Colliers Encyclopedia , 1980, Volume13, page 309, tells us of Isis, an ancient

    Egyptian Goddess who absorbed theattributes of Ernutet (Thermuthis), theharvest Goddess:ISIS [aisis], an ancient Egyptian goddesswhose name may indicate that she wasoriginally a dei cation of the royal throne.In early myth she was regarded as thedaughter of Geb (earth) and Nut (sky) andboth sister and wife of Osiris, to whomshe bore Horus. The Egyptians identi ed

    their Pharaohs with Horus; accordingly,the Pharaoh was considered the sonof Isis and the legitimate heir of Osiris.Isis absorbed numerous other divinities,especially the harvest goddess Ernutet(Thermuthis), and was frequently equatedwith the cow-goddess Hathor.

    Isis was identified with Hathor, thehorned cow Goddess. The Yearbook of

    English Festivals, by Dorothy GladysSpicer, 1954, page 145, shows:Most pleasing of all the decorations arefour spirally woven straw cones hangingfrom the pulpit stand. Each cornucopia istasseled with ears of wheat. Those arehorns of plenty, the old vicar explains.Each year they are loaned as harvestdecorations. They are more than harvest decora-tions, I thought, as I inquired for their own-er. Two old farm hands had fashioned thecornucopias many years before, I learned.Once, I was told, the straw cones wereslipped over the horns of oxen competingin local ploughing meets, suggesting thatthese horns of plenty may have beenassociated originally with fertility rites.Maybe the old countrymen unconsciouslypaid honor to the Corn Spirit by plaitingsymbols from the last sheaf bound at theend of the harvest. Colliers Encyclopedia , Volume 8, page74, tells us of Demeter, the Greek ver-sion of the Egyptian Goddess Isis.

    DEMETER [demiter], one of the chiefdeities in Greek cult; in mythology, thedaughter of Cronus and Rhea and thesister of Zeus. She was the corn goddess,and her name has been explained asgrain-mother or earth-mother. Themother of Persephone by Zeus, Demeterleft Olympus when her daughter was

    carried off to the underworld by Pluto;lighting torches from Mount Aetna, shesearched for Persephone throughout theworld and the earth grew barren fromneglect. On her wanderings she came toEleusis near Athens, where, in the guiseof an old woman, she was received bythe family of Celeus. According to oneversion, she then attempted to makeTriptolemus, the son of Celeus, immortal;but when prevented by the frightenedmother, Demeter limited her favor toteaching the child how to use the plow

    and sow corn. When Persephone wasrestored to her for two thirds of each year,the earth again became fruitful for thatperiod. The center of Demeters worshipwas at Eleusis, where the EleusinianMysteries were held in honor of the twogoddesses. The disappearance and returnof Persephone, symbolized the deathand rebirth of vegetation; later, initiatesread into the ritual a promise of theirown immortality. The Romans identi ed

    Demeter with Ceres. See also Ceres;Eleusis; Persephone.George E. Duckworth and H.J. Rose

    The story of Demeter going into theunderworld to find her kidnapeddaughter, Proserpina-Persephone isrehearsed through the Eleusian mys-teriesthe ancient mystery fertilityreligion. Colliers Encyclopedia, Volume16, pg. 349-350, tells of the mystery reli-gions of the great mother.

    The mystery religions furnish an ancient

    example of a missionary movement.Originally they were magical ceremoniesdesigned to induce bountiful crops. Theydramatized the annual decay of vegeta-tion in the autumn as the death of a divineyouth over whom a goddess mourned.Later they celebrated with ecstatic joythe return of verdure in the spring as thecoming to life again of the departed youth.Participating in these rites was believed tocleanse the devotee of his sins and unitehim mystically with the god. They werecrude and orgiastic but they had a dynam-ic quality which led to their expansion. In spite of the protests of such menas Euripides and Plato the mystery reli-gions continued to make converts becausethey supplied something which neither thereligion of the Olympic gods nor the phi-losophers of Greece could offer. This wasespecially true of the Eleusinian mysterieswhich may have had their origin in Egypt.In these ceremonies, Demeter, the god-dess of agriculture, was represented asweeping over her daughter Persephone,who had been carried off by Pluto, godof the nether world, to become his bride.She reappeared, however, in the springand spent six months (according to someaccounts, eight) with her mother beforereturning to Pluto. By a natural develop-

    ment, these mysteries came to teach that, just as the vegetation was reborn in thespring, after its death in the autumn, sothe initiates might be reborn after death. Though the details of these rites areunknown, because they were secret, itis evident that the drama which the initi-ates saw enacted was a source of greatcomfort to them thereafter, attracting atAthens alone thousands of candidateswho thronged to be initiated. The Syrian mystery religion in whichthe goddess Astarte wept over Adonis

  • 8/13/2019 Yisrayl Hawkins Says - The Pope Is Right About One Thing...

    23/23

    was carried by Phoenician sailors andtraders to various ports in the Mediterra-nean at an early date. Later, when this seawas controlled by the Ptolemies, Egyptiansailors and traders carried the mysteryreligion of Isis to Cyprus, Sicily, Italy,Gaul, and Spain. This religion, transformedconsiderably from its Egyptian prototype,had great popularity in Rome, and held itsown for 500 years. It was at one time aformidable rival of Christianity.

    Men and women offered up sacrificesand prayers to these mysterious forcesof the mystery religion, which they be-lieved controlled the workings of natureon their behalf. Their hope in offeringthis worship was to ward off catastro-phe, to ensure fine hunting, to obtainbountiful harvests, and to live againbeyond the grave. The mystery worship was set in thecycle of sun worship. In the spring ofthe year, man sought fertility for him-self and for his land. Bountiful crops

    would assure food for himself and hishousehold. It was during this springtimeof the year, at the vernal equinox, thatthe Goddess he worshiped was fertil-ized by the God he worshiped. In the summer of the year, the hot,arid land he lived upon became brownand barren. At this summertime, direct-ly on the summer solstice, the Goddesshe worshiped went into the underworldto remain until the time for vegetationto begin growing in the fall of the year. At autumn of this yearly cycle thesun started dying. The days grew short-er as the nights grew longer. At thefall of the year, directly on the autumnequinox, the Goddess man worshipedbegan to weep for the lost (or murderedin other mythologies) Goddess (orGod).

    At the winter solstice the sun startedto come back to life as the days startedgrowing longer and the nights shorter.Life would be assured for another year.

    The Goddess who had been fertilized atthe previous vernal equinox gave birthto a son at the winter solstice. The Godhad been reborn.

    Such was the cycle of the primitivefertility religions portrayed throughcute stories which effectively hid the

    vile, hideous meaning behind them.Thanksgiving day worship is merely theancient fertility rites veneered with therespectability of christianity. However,the fact still remains, that it is ancientfertility worship.

    You may ask, werent our pilgrimfathers Righteous? Didnt they keepmany of those old Laws? I know theydidnt keep christmas. I can tell youthe pilgrims only served the Father asfar as they would. Definitely, the pil-grims worshiped on Sunday and theydefinitely did not keep the Holy FeastDays as ordained in Leviticus ChapterTwenty-three . They did not keep theclean and unclean food Laws, as listedin Leviticus Chapter Eleven and Deu-teronomy Chapter Fourteen .

    The pilgrims studied the biblesthey had. Therefore, they would haveread of Yahwehs Sabbaths, Holy FeastDays, and clean and unclean food Lawsfor themselves. Why did they not obeyYahweh by doing what He had com-manded in Leviticus Chapters Eleven and Twenty-three and in DeuteronomyChapter Fourteen ? Like so many churches and denom-inations today, the pilgrims wanted todo it their way and not Yahwehs Way.Is it any wonder then, that the pilgrims

    were just as deceived as the churchesand assemblies are today?

    The pilgrims held exactly a threeday feast in the fall of 1621. This wasthe customary time span for the ancientpagan celebrations. Thanksgiving, byRobert Haven Schauffler, Dodd-Mead,1957, pages xii-xiii says:

    The harvest festival of ancient Greece,called the Thesmophoria was akin tothe Jewish Feast of Tabernacles. It wasthe feast of Demeter, the foundress ofagriculture and goddess of harvests, andwas celebrated in Athens, in November,by married women only. Two wealthyand distinguished ladies were chosen toperform the sacred function in the nameof the others, and to prepare the sacredmeal, which corresponded to our Thanks-

    giving dinner . On the rst day of the feast,amid great mirth and rejoicing, the womenwent in procession to the promontory ofColias and celebrated their Thanksgivingfor three days in the temple of Demeter.On their return a festival occurred for threedays in Athens, sad at rst but graduallygrowing into an orgy of mirth and dancing.Here a cow and a sow were offered toDemeter, besides fruit and honeycombs.The symbols of the fruitful goddess werepoppies and ears of corn, a basket of fruitand a little pig. The Romans worshipped this harvestdeity under the name of Ceres. Her fes-tival, which occurred yearly on October4th, was called the Cerelia. It began witha fast among the common people whooffered her a sow and the rst cuttingsof the harvest. There were processions inthe elds with music and rustic sports andthe ceremonies ended with the inevitablefeast of thanksgiving.

    Thanksgiving , by Applebaum, page 8,tells us:A target shoot designed to demonstratethe power of English muskets was a ma-

    jor feature of the three-day-long harvestcelebration held in Plymouth in the fallof 1621.

    Yahweh has given us, through His HolyScriptures, His Holy Feast Days. TheFeast of Tabernacles is the Feast ofIngathering for the people of Yahweh.Yahweh tells His people to keep HisFeasts in Leviticus Chapter Twen-ty-three . Yahwehs people do not defilethemselves with the holidays of this

    world.

    But if it seems evil to you to serve Yahweh, then choose for your-selves this day whom you will serve __ whether the Gods (elohim)your fathers served on the other side of the River; Euphrates, orthe Gods (elohim) of the Amorites, in whose land you now live...BUT AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSE: WE WILL SERVE YAHWEH !
