THE ATTACK ON AMERICA,
WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

YAHWEH'S Evangelical Assembly was honored to be able to host the Feast of Tabernacles this year at the Monroe Music RV Park near Texarkana, Texas. While the crowd may have been small by other’s standards (about 50-60), the prevailing spirit was one of joy and rejoicing. There were several anointed speakers present who served a variety of spiritual food. The list of speakers included Elder Frank Brown, Fred deAryan, Yohance Branch, Elder Willie Beard, Richard Jones, Jim Kneberg, Tony Clawson, Harold Watkins, Mike Kotak, Jim Meyer, Ted Defelise, Stan Fears and Elder Jerry Healan. All of the messages have been recorded and will be made available as soon as possible. We do want to thank each of the visiting speakers and rejoice at the variety of messages that were given. The variety of speakers and messages were truly like a many, many coursed spiritual meal.

We had brethren come from as far away as the Netherlands, New York, Missouri, Arizona, Florida, etc. We certainly appreciate everyone’s sacrifice in traveling such great distances and helping to make the Feast the success that it was.

While there were some negatives, which we will always have in this physical world, the overall impact was very positive.

One sad note is that our beloved sister Suzy Norman had a seizure a couple of nights before the close of the feast and she and Roger had to leave the feast early. Subsequent examination has revealed that she is suffering from cancerous brain tumors with a possibility of more in her liver. We certainly want to encourage fervent prayer on her behalf. Brother Roger and Sister Suzy have a very important ministry which promotes sexual abstinence directed toward teenagers, but which is important for all ages.

We also experienced a couple of heavy rainstorms with dangerous lightening strikes all around. One tree in the park was struck during the first rain storm which damaged a couple of microwaves in campers, but no other injuries were suffered.

Another major rain storm hit after services on the last day but many of the brethren had already left by that time. The few left behind simply knuckled down and endured it. There was another lightening strike in the park, but again, no one suffered harm.

Elder Frank Brown stated that this was his 39th feast and it was the best that he had ever observed.

Others commented: I wanted to thank both you and Fran for providing such a wonderful Feast, and for all the work you both put into it. I think it was the best Feast we've ever been to yet, and M... agrees.

I was wondering if you had a chance to look at next years Feast days yet? There will probably be early and late feasts, and I'm not sure which one we will be attending. We want to come to your feast site again. Please let me know if you have any info. on next years days.

We praise and thank YAHWEH and YAHshua for the opportunity that we had to be able to gather together to fellowship during the appointed Feast. We would like to extend an invitation to each and everyone of you to come keep the feast with us next year if conditions will permit us to host another one. JH

Elder Jerry Healan was honored and blessed to be able to travel to the McConnell Unit in Beeville, Texas in order to meet with and baptize 18 men on Sabbath Oct. 13, 2001. The meeting was very edifying and up-lifting.

Elder Healan went into detail concerning the purposes for baptism beyond the traditional understanding of entering a watery grave to be raised a new person. Baptism is specifically for the washing away of sins and the purpose of regeneration, but there are many other things accomplished in this ritual.

We are set aside as a chaste virgin in betrothal to the Messiah (2 Cor. 11:1-2). We are sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise (Eph. 1:13). We are also sealed with the name YAHWEH (Rev. 14:1). YAHWEH establishes His New Covenant with us (Heb. 8:8-12). We become inheritors of the coming Kingdom of Heaven (Col. 1:13). We become the sons of Elohim (1 Jn. 3:1-2), etc., etc.

We are made holy by the blood of the Lamb. Elder Healan explained that the word "holy" (Heb. = qodesh) means more than to be set apart. It means to be clean and/or pure. We must keep ourselves clean and unspotted from the world. Our conduct and activity must be pure and clean. We must serve our Creator with cleanness and purity. Therefore, we must not serve Him with the traditions and works of idolatry as the world does.

Elder Healan encouraged the men to remain faithful to the end. He encouraged them to grow in the grace and knowledge of YAHshua the Messiah.

The meeting took place from about 12:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. We all appreciate the fact that the chaplain allowed us to have extra time to fellowship, study into Scripture and discuss various topics.

Then on Sun. the 28th, Elder Healan was able to travel to the Coffield Unit at Tennessee Colony, Texas where four more men were baptized into the saving name of YAHshua.

The truth about the names is literally exploding in the Texas prison system. There are about 30 men involved in the names at Tennessee Colony, another 30 at Beeville, eight in Navasota, and many others in various other facilities statewide.

The problem we have is that the harvest is truly plenteous, but the laborers are few. We need volunteers who can go in to meet with many of the men on a regular basis so they can observe the Sabbath day by congregating together. No one has stepped forward to fill in the gap and help out. These men are literally hungering for the opportunity to meet together, to fellowship, learn and fulfill YAHWEH'S appointed Sabbath.

So many of them have written to other assemblies pleading for help, for baptism, etc. It seems that very few, if any, are willing to serve. We do understand that to serve these men is not profitable financially. But there are so many, many other benefits in serving them. The greatest and best reward for us is the many prayers lifted up before the throne of YAHWEH on our behalf. After all, it is more blessed to give than to receive. Besides, YAHshua said to serve those who can’t repay in kind. Therefore, we do hope to become much more involved in serving these men.

We would like to share a letter with you that we have recently received from one of the men:

Dear Mr. Healan,

Peaceful greetings to you in the matchless name of YAHWEH! We have never met and I’m sure you are very busy, but I must tell you a bit about myself before I get to the purpose of my writing.

I am 35 years old. I have been locked up since 11-98. Just a few days before my eighth wedding anniversary my wife left me and took our two children with her. This was my first and only marriage. I was deeply hurt and couldn’t understand why. I had been very active in churchianity and a ministry in Dallas that worked with ex-convicts called "One Day At A Time." I had control of an electrical company and was financially stable. My wife left in Sept. of 97 and by Oct. of 97 I was in shambles. I began to drink and became extremely angry with our Creator. I tried to kill myself twice by injecting heroin. The first time the EMT said I was clinically dead about seven minutes and the second about six. My lungs had collapsed and there was no pulse, only brain activity. I rode a very nice motorcycle and started to sell large amounts of cocaine. I moved a topless dancer in with me and lived in motels. I was shot with a .38 in the back and looked at by nine doctors at Parkland Hospital. None would attempt to remove the bullet because of its close proximity to my spinal cord. In Nov. of 98 I was arrested after thirteen months of sin and disobedience.

I went through serious withdrawals in Dallas County jail, alone! The last thing I wanted was a copy of the Sacred Scriptures or anything to do with our heavenly FATHER, may He forgive me!

On 5-17-99 I had a dream. In this dream I was not in jail, but at home sitting in my recliner with the Scriptures open. An arm came over my shoulder and I noticed as a finger pointed that I was in Job. Then it pointed out that I was at chapter 36. The hand then moved down the page and traced along verses 8-12. Then I woke up. Well, I didn’t even have a copy of the Scriptures so I went and borrowed one. When I read what it said I was shook up pretty good. (Note: Job 36:8-12, "And if they be bound in fetters, and be holden in cords of affliction; Then he sheweth them their work, and their transgressions that they have exceeded. He openeth also their ear to discipline, and commandeth that they return from iniquity. If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures. But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge.")

A few hours later I began to pray. I was overwhelmed with grief and deep sorrow over the past thirteen months of sin. My repentance was thorough and I have fallen deeply in love with Abba YAHWEH! I have never felt so in love with any human so I believe this love has been placed within me by our heavenly FATHER. He circumcised the sin nature from my heart and placed a love for Himself therein! Now I no longer seek to justify sin by a "grace alone" doctrine, but I try to learn what is pleasing to our Creator and do those things because I love Him! My vocabulary is too limited to express the love I have for YAHWEH our FATHER and His Son, our King, YAHshua! I pray you understand and have experienced this love yourself.

Mr. Healan, it is my understanding that I am in corrective captivity because of sin just like Israyl of old. And Though I am forgiven, I must endure my punishment for my disobedience (Psa. 99:8).

My reason for finding out your address and writing you is the situation I’ve encountered concerning the fourth commandment. I have been disciplined and punished for refusing to work on the Sabbath.

I have about seven more years to do on my sentence. I would like to have TDCJ recognize the weekly Sabbath as a minimum worship requirement and honor that by placing me and others like myself in positions where we would have this time off. Would you be willing to write a letter to the Director of TDCJ-Chaplaincy, Mr. Don Kaspar testifying to the validity of the 7th day Sabbath and the importance of it as a minimum worship requirement? (NOTE: We have done this before and also again on behalf of this request.)

There are some very hard days ahead for the true worshippers (Jn. 4:23). I believe that due to the recent tragedy in New York that many Americans Constitutional rights are going to be violated under the guise of security for this nation. As I read Rev. 13:16, I see that it is not only the free but the "bond" as well who are deceived into giving themselves the mark of the beast.

Sir, though I do not know you, I respect your position and value your opinion. I think I read a proverb in the Scriptures, though I can’t remember where exactly, that says something like "A lie from a king is believed before the truth from a beggar." What I’m trying to say is that the words of a convicted felon are not listened to or respected as much as someone from out there in the "freeworld." Mr. Healan, thank you for your time and if at all possible, your help in getting TDCJ to recognize the Scriptural requirement of a ceasing from work on sundown Friday to sundown Saturday. May YAHWEH bless you and keep you! Shalom Aleichem. MWD

The prison ministry is very important. Please help us by writing a letter to the head Chaplain’s office:

BACK TO TOP

Our news media is so completely deficient in the news that is going on behind the scenes. The media that I am speaking of is that which we see on television, hear on the radio and read in the newspapers. The real behind the scenes news is kept to a hushed minimum. If one is reading and studying his Bible deeply enough, then he has the news in advance of that which is truly going on. Yes, the book that is hated and despised by the modern day world. That book that is looked upon as some kind of ancient history. That book that simply doesn’t apply to our modern day times.

In my own intense Bible studies, I have come to identify certain nations with the ancient peoples of old. For instance, the modern day Arabs are generally the descendants of Ishmael, the first son of Abraham by the Egyptian handmaid Hagar. While this may be nothing new to you (the Arabs themselves proclaim that they are his descendants), it may be somewhat new when I tell you that the Russians are descendants of Esau/Edom and Americans are descendants of Jacob/Israel.

Certain Biblical prophecies will bear this out and will also foretell the endtime plot by Esau/Edom/Russia to overthrow and destroy Jacob/Israel/America. From time to time we have warned about what is coming. We have warned about the intentions of China, Russia (Esau) and the Arabs (Ishmael).

The book of Psalms, chapter 83 is where we will start with the conspiratorial plot, "Keep not thou silence, O Elohim: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O El. 2 For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head. 3 They have taken crafty counsel (subtle conspiracy) against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones. 4 They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance. 5 For they have consulted (conspired) together with one consent: they are confederate against thee: 6 The tabernacles of Edom (Russia), and the Ishmaelites (Arabs); of Moab (Iran?), and the Hagarenes (Egypt); 7 Gebal (masons), and Ammon (Jordan), and Amalek (Iraq?); the Philistines (Palestinians) with the inhabitants of Tyre (Lebanon); 8 Assur (Syria) also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot."

The prophet Obadiah has this to say, "How are the things of Esau searched out! how are his hidden things sought up! 7 All the men of thy confederacy have brought thee even to the border: the men that were at peace with thee have deceived thee, and prevailed against thee; they that eat thy bread have laid a wound under thee: there is none understanding in him. 8 Shall I not in that day, saith YAHWEH, even destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mount of Esau? 9 And thy mighty men, O Teman, shall be dismayed, to the end that every one of the mount of Esau may be cut off by slaughter. 10 For thy violence against thy brother Jacob shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever. 11 In the day that thou stoodest on the other side, in the day that the strangers carried away captive his forces, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots upon Jerusalem, even thou wast as one of them. 12 But thou shouldest not have looked on the day of thy brother in the day that he became a stranger; neither shouldest thou have rejoiced over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction; neither shouldest thou have spoken proudly in the day of distress. 13 Thou shouldest not have entered into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity; yea, thou shouldest not have looked on their affliction in the day of their calamity, nor have laid hands on their substance in the day of their calamity; 14 Neither shouldest thou have stood in the crossway, to cut off those of his that did escape; neither shouldest thou have delivered up those of his that did remain in the day of distress."

Thus, prophecy reveals that there is a subtle conspiracy to overthrow the descendants of Israel (America and some of the western European nations along with South Africa, Australia, Canada, modern day Israel, etc.). Before I get into the news items that I have picked off of the Internet, I want to mention the fact that during the month of Abib (Mar.—Apr.) the Orthodox Jewish Rabbis declared that we had entered into the "times of Jacob’s troubles." The attack on the twin towers in New York City along with subsequent distribution of biological agents (anthrax, small pox, bubonic plague) has confirmed this.

Soviet Plan: Kill U.S. With Smallpox? Compuserve 8/24/01

Had the unthinkable ever happened and the United States and the Soviet Union unleashed nuclear weapons at each other, the U.S.S.R. had a secret plan to kill any American survivors with a smallpox plague, reports NBC News. The source is a new book called "Scourge: The Once and Future Threat of Smallpox," by Jonathan Tucker of the Monterey Institute of International Studies, who writes, "Smallpox biological weapons were intended for use against U.S. cities in a war of total mutual annihilation, with the aim of killing the survivors in the aftermath of a nuclear exchange." The book will be published next month by Atlantic Monthly Press.

The account has been confirmed by Kanatjan Alibekov, who was the chief scientist of the Soviet program. He defected to the United States in 1992 and changed his name to Ken Alibek. He told NBC News, "Believe me, depending on a specific scenario, of course, we would see very, very large numbers of infected and killed people." Over 20 years, at least four Soviet ICBMs based in silos near the Arctic Circle were equipped with special biological weapon warheads. The cold temperatures kept the smallpox germs viable. The U.S. suspected the Soviets had biological weapons, but couldn't confirm it until Alibek defected. Tucker notes that the ultimate effect of such an attack would have eliminated American society, "perhaps destroying it as a functioning society." --Cathryn Conroy

Tucker says the Soviet Union may have distributed the smallpox virus to other, nations including Iraq.

Friday, Sept. 28, 2001 WASHINGTON -- The U.S. population is vulnerable to a terrorist attack using smallpox as a weapon but the risk of it actually happening is reduced because of the difficulty in obtaining a sample of the virus.

The vulnerability stems from the eradication of the virus itself - the last case was found in Somalia in 1977 - with routine vaccinations ending in the United States 1972. Both the vaccinated and the unvaccinated are at risk, experts told United Press International, because the vaccination required periodic updates that did not occur.

The country also is at risk, these experts said, because of America's failure to upgrade and maintain its public health system and provide appropriate surveillance to quickly catch and contain any outbreak.

"The vulnerability absolutely is very high," said Michael Powers, a research associate with the Chemical and Biological Arms Control Institute in Washington.

"The United States is very susceptible to an outbreak of smallpox." Dr. Nils Daulaire, president and chief executive officer of the Global Health Council in Washington agreed although he said the actual risk is moderate.

"It would be low if we had big stockpiles of vaccine on hand," he said, adding that following the World Health Organization's declaration in 1980 that the deadly virus had been eradicated. "There was a sense of security. We did not need to maintain the relatively high cost to maintain a vaccine for a disease that no longer existed."

There are about 10 million doses of the vaccine in storage, but even if the United States had a huge stockpile from the 1970s, questions remain about its efficacy and whether its use would be acceptable today because of the side effects.

Daulaire said the vaccine causes a severe and sometimes fatal adverse reaction in people infected with humane immunodeficiency virus, which causes AIDS. That would mean it could not be used for all populations.

America's vulnerability, however, is counterbalanced by the difficulty in obtaining a sample of the virus. Jonathan Tucker, whose new book, "Scourge: The Once and Future Threat of Smallpox" comes out this month, said during a talk on his book that in 1976 the WHO urged the 75 laboratories around the world with stocks of the virus to destroy or transfer them to secure repositories at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta or to a site in what was then the Soviet Union.

In 1983, South Africa became the last country to destroy its stock of virus, said Tucker, who also is director of the Chemical and Biological Weapons Nonproliferation Program at the Center for Nonproliferation Studies in Washington.

"It was possible that countries did not declare (their stock) for various reasons, possibly for nefarious reasons," Tucker said, adding it now is believed from three to eight countries - Iraq and North Korea often are mentioned - actually may have samples of the virus. In 1994, Russia moved its secured virus stock to a laboratory in Siberia known as Vector and Tucker said many experts who believe work was done there to develop a smallpox weapon.

Tucker said scientists believe a "viral slurry" was created at Vector and that perhaps 20 tons of a smallpox weapon, suitable for use on warheads, was maintained. He said while there is no "smoking gun" to indicate any undeclared stocks of virus, "the evidence is sufficiently compelling to make government officials concerned."

Knowing samples exist is one thing, but getting one and making it work as a weapon is another. "There are very significant technological hurdles that would have to be overcome," Tucker said, including ensuring the sample still is viable, finding a way to disseminate it -- such as in aerosol form or by having suicide terrorists infect themselves and walk through large crowds.

He noted, however, the methodical, long-term approach terrorists apparently took in the planning and execution of the attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon.

"This is ominous if they apply the save methodological approach to biologics" especially if they have any help from other countries or organizations, he said.

Powers said the chance of terrorists acquiring a virus sample are low because "even those countries that support terrorist organizations have been less than willing" to provide them with the best technology and weapons. He added even if Osama bin Laden, considered by the Bush administration to be a "prime suspect" in Sept. 11 terror attacks in New York and Washington, is involved and if Iraq has a smallpox sample, there is "no great love" between bin Laden and Iraq's Saddam Hussein.

"I don't think the public should be worried about it [smallpox], but I think we have been a bit behind the curve in our planning and action in this," Daulaire said. He said the United States needs a surveillance system geared toward picking up relatively common but serious diseases so that smallpox surveillance can be easily be added to it.

Powers said the U.S. health care system is not geared toward early detection of smallpox, which has a 10- to 12-day incubation period before symptoms occur.

He said more government support is needed at the state and local levels to create an infrastructure that can detect, contain and eradicate any smallpox outbreak.

Tucker said should smallpox be released into the general population, each person infected could infect 50 others - or more - before a diagnosis is made, creating waves of smallpox occurring in about two-week cycles, each wave larger than the previous.

Prior to its eradication, smallpox killed hundreds of millions of people over the ages, throughout the world. Still today, there is no effective treatment, only containment of an outbreak and vaccination.

Bio Threat: Worse Than You're Told

Christopher Ruddy
Monday, Oct. 15, 2001

Let us agree on one matter: The attacks of Sept. 11 were not significant ones.

Anyone who believes these attacks were significant is foolish, delusional or both.

The death of 5,000 Americans is no small matter. But the casualty list of Sept. 11 is small compared to what could have happened, and what may happen.

I am baffled that in the wake of Sept. 11 the major media, and some government officials, continue to downplay the significance of ongoing events.

The media have given great coverage to such non-issues as racial profiling, Jerry Falwell's comments, how misunderstood Islam is, and other matters that don't deal head-on with the present crisis. The American people are very reasonable, as long as they have the facts. But that’s not what they are getting from CNN and the rest of the media pack. Here are some stories the heartland of America would like to see on CNN:

· The need for a stronger military that can deal with two regional wars at the same time (something we cannot do today)

· How rogue nations that back terrorists are building ballistic missiles, and why America needs missile defense to defend against future threats

· What went wrong at the CIA and the FBI, and the reforms necessary at these agencies to make sure Sept. 11 does not take place again

· The real and significant threat posed by weapons of mass destruction -- nuclear, chemical and biological ones

· The steps necessary to protect us from such threats, and the need for Americans to create their own civil defense system.

Such "rational" stories are not on the media’s radar screen.

Instead, as America faces the new biological threat of anthrax, the media are flooding the airwaves with experts and government officials saying "no need to worry folks, anthrax is hard to make, hard to deploy, can’t hurt you, no need to worry, yadda, yadda ..."

Recently, I spoke with Dr. Byron Weeks. Dr. Weeks is a retired Air Force colonel. He has the distinction of having been the youngest flight surgeon in the Air Force during the Korean War.

After years of military service, and after serving in several senior medical posts in the Air Force, including hospital commander at the U.S. Air Force Base, Bitburg, Germany, Dr. Weeks retired to private practice.

Since the late 1970s, Dr. Weeks has been specializing in biological warfare. He has lectured and written on the subject. He has also given many warnings about its dangers.

In my conversations, I found much of what he said startling. He says exactly the opposite of what we hear from the "don’t worry" p.c. crowd. For starters, Dr. Weeks believes America is woefully unprepared for an anthrax attack -- one that he says could kill millions.

Dr. Weeks has consulted with the former head of Russia’s bio-weapons program, Dr. Ken Alibek. He knows what capabilities the Russians developed over a decade ago -- and what Russian friends like the Iraqis likely have access to.

According to Weeks, the Russians developed a "weaponized" form of anthrax that is hearty, doesn’t break down easily in sunlight or heat, and can be easily dispersed.

But anthrax, Weeks said, is the not the greatest threat. He also talks about the danger of bubonic plague, easily manufactured and deployed. Also dangerous, he says, is smallpox.

As for the so-called government "stocks" of smallpox vaccine and antibiotics, Dr. Weeks dismisses these as insignificant. He told me what he believes will happen when a significant outbreak occurs, perhaps with 100,000 cases or more.

The reported antibiotic supply for 2 million cases will likely arrive too late to be effective -- amidst panic and other problems.

Dr. Weeks suggests that as the gravity of the attack sinks in among political and military leaders, they will decide NOT to dispense the stocks.

Why?

Because they know that once the small amount of antibiotics is used up there will be none for the U.S. military and for them, the political elites. The decision will be made not to deplete the stocks. The epidemic will rage, and many will die.

Two weeks ago, Secretary of Health and Human Services Tommy Thompson claimed that there was no need to worry about a biological attack because the antibiotic stockpile is set aside for 2 million cases. He said this was more than sufficient.

Fast-forward to this past week: Thompson announced he is seeking to increase the antibiotic stockpile to 10 million cases. If 2 million was enough just two weeks ago, why the sudden need for a supply for 10 million?

Weeks knows the truth: Even 10 million may not be enough for a country of 280 million souls.

Weeks advises directly -- and counter to what the talking heads are saying on TV: Make sure you have a supply of Cipro, the best antibiotic for countering anthrax, for you and your family. Don’t depend on the government.

One reason not to count on the government is how inconsistent the official line has been.

Consider what officials were saying about the threat of biological weapons before Sept. 11.

Last week, I came across a paper prepared for the U.S. Air Force’s Air War College by Lt. Col. Lansing E. Dickinson, entitled "Military Role in Countering Terrorist Use of Weapons of Mass Destruction."

In his brilliant and often prescient 68-page report published in 1999, Col. Dickinson lays out the facts about the threat of biological and other weapons of mass destruction.

Here is an excerpt from his Introduction:

The terrorist threat is real. Some say it is only a question of time before terrorists use weapons of mass destruction against our military forces. Secretary Cohen in the Report of the Quadrennial Defense Review concluded "the threat or use of chemical and biological (CB) weapons is a likely condition of future warfare, including in the early stages of war to disrupt U.S. operations and logistics. ... This requires that the U.S. military continue to improve its capabilities to locate and destroy such Chemical/Biological weapons, preferably before they can be used, and defend against and manage the consequences of CB weapons if they are used."

Another excerpt:

As for what the U.S. government really thinks about anthrax, Lt. Col. Dickson writes:

Others suggest dispersing agents with cropdusters or through building air ventilation systems. The OTA [Office of Technology Assessment] study sums up the biological threat by stating, "Standard biological agents for covert sabotage or attacks against broad-area targets would be relatively easy to produce and disseminate using commercially available equipment, such as agricultural sprayers."

I have reprinted these lengthy excerpts so that you may compare them to what the media talking heads are telling us today: Biological weapons are difficult to make, difficult to deploy, and difficult to die from.

You can believe the media if you like. I would tend to believe Dr. Weeks and Lt. Col. Dickinson. They don’t care if CNN invites them onto a show, they are just revealing the truth as they see it.

The same Russian government expert who predicted last July that America was about to suffer a "financial attack" –- and encouraged Russian citizens to cash out dollars and buy rubles and gold –- has again surfaced to make more stunning forecasts.

Dr. Tatyana Koryagina gained some credibility in the Russian media because of her prediction that an unusual catastrophe was about to hit the U.S. She said it would take place on Aug. 19 and would collapse the U.S. economy.

Koryagina is a senior research fellow in the Institute of Macroeconomic Researches subordinated to Russian Ministry of Economic Development (Minekonom). She is reportedly close to President Putin’s inner circle.

On July 12, 2001, Pravda published a Page One story on her predictions entitled "The Dollar and America Will Fall Down on August 19? -- That's the Opinion of Dr. Tatyana Koryagina, Who Very Accurately Predicted the August Default in 1998."

In her July interview Koryagina told Pravda "The U.S. has been chosen as the object of financial attack because the financial center of the planet is located there. The effect will be maximal. The strike waves of economic crisis will spread over the planet instantly, and will remind us of the blast of a huge nuclear bomb."

Late last month, Pravda re-interviewed Dr. Koryagina to get her take on the events of Sept. 11.

Koryagina made the following key points in an article entitled "Who Will Strike America in Its Back?":

New Strikes Will Come. In the near term, she said, "the powerful group" that masterminded the events of Sept. 11 will make new strikes against America –- of a financial nature and otherwise. She said they will "strike America in the back" and bring it down.

She noted that Americans are consolidating around their government and preparing retaliatory strikes against the "terrorists." However, Americans are trembling about spending. When they understand, after the upcoming new strikes, that their government can guarantee them nothing, they will panic -- causing a collapse of their financial system.

Didn’t Make Serious Mistake. About her forecast of July 12, Dr. Koryagina said, "I did not make a serious mistake. Indeed, between August15 and 20, the dollar started trembling under the pressure of multiple bad news about the U.S. and world economy. And within weeks, the Manhattan skyscrapers fell down. As a result, a significant part of the world financial network was paralyzed. This strike was aimed at destabilization and destruction of America and [in domino fashion] all the countries making countless billions of dollars."

The Powerful Group. Who is behind these strikes? Koryagina claims the U.S. is painting a false picture. She said the operation was not the work of 19 terrorists but a larger group seeking to reshape the world. She claimed a group of extremely powerful private persons, with total assets of about $300 trillion, intends to legalize its power and to become the new world government. The Sept. 11 strikes showed that this group is afraid of nothing -- human lives have zero value for them.

Koryagina again encouraged Russian citizens to cash out dollars. The Koryagina claims are not easily dismissed, especially her clear indications in the interview before Sept. 11 that the attacks on America’s financial system would be of an unusual nature. Her comments also mirrored similar warnings issued by Russian officials.

Still, this story raises other questions. Did the Russian government know in advance and what was their involvement?

On Sept. 28 the Washington Times reported that "U.S. intelligence agencies have uncovered information that Russian criminal groups have been supplying Osama bin Laden and his al-Qaida terrorist network with components for chemical, biological and nuclear weapons."

Of course, the Russian mafia has very close ties with Russia’s intelligence agencies.

It is important to note that Russia is a significant backer of almost every state sponsor of terrorism, some with links to bin Laden’s group. These include Iraq, Iran, Syria, Libya, North Korea and Cuba.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- On the advice of President Vladmir Putin, Russian officials and prominent Russian citizens have been canceling travel plans to the United States.

The advisory prompts concerns about whether the Russian government knows of more terrorist attacks planned against America.

Former Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev has postponed a U.S. speaking tour at the urging of President Putin's office, citing security concerns, the Palm Beach Post reported Wednesday.

"Russian President Vladimir Putin apparently is prohibiting nearly all government officials from flying to the United States during the next three weeks," the Omaha World-Herald said Oct. 10.

Omaha is another city where Gorbachev has canceled a planned speaking engagement.

NewsMax.com's Russia expert Col. Stanislav told us: "It's very interesting and could mean that Russian intelligence received information about new terrorist attacks against America, which could come anytime soon and include attacks against U.S. civilian airplanes as well as Americans in the areas which could be visited by Russian and other officials.

Lunev, the highest-ranking spy ever to defect from Russia's GRU Directorate (military intelligence), noted that Putin promised, in the aftermath of Sept. 11, to fully cooperate with the U.S.

The advisory suggests, Lunev said, that Putin may have information not being shared with the U.S. government. His advisory also undermines international confidence in the U.S.

A spokesman for the Russian Embassy in Washington told the Post he had no idea why Gorbachev's visits were canceled.

Cities on the itinerary included West Palm Beach -- near the anthrax infections at American Media Inc. in Boca Raton -- and Omaha and Lincoln, Neb.

Gorbachev's booking agents in New York City tried but could not persuade him to go ahead with the trip, the World-Herald said.

Lunev noted that the idea Russia has advanced of significant knowledge of terrorist acts should come as no surprise. Russia has been the key backer for almost all nations identified by the State Department as state sponsors of terrorism, including Iraq, Iran, Libya and Syria.

Reports in several papers have already tied bin Laden's network to Russian "mafia" groups. Lunev believes that such groups are merely fronts for Russian intelligence agencies.

Another indication of Russia's knowledge of terrorist acts was the Pravda report this July revealing the prediction of a key economic adviser in Putin's circle who claimed the U.S. would collapse after a "financial attack."

After Sept. 11, the same adviser warned of new and unusual attacks that would further weaken the U.S. economy.

"One more point," stated Lunev. "According to the Russian press -- ORT channel on Oct. 16 -- limited acts of bioterrorism in the U.S. could be considered as a field test of anthrax’s combat use by terrorists, who began their preparations for a massive attack against America by biological weapons.

"They will learn lessons from the present field test and could use anthrax and other weapons of mass destruction in the U.S. ORT also didn't exclude the possibility that terrorists are using anthrax because they do not have any other biological weapons in their arsenal, as well as because practical use of anthrax is the simplest technically."

The Soviet Union produced hundreds of tons of anthrax at its sprawling biological weapons plants, the Associated Press reported Tuesday.

Gorbachev told CNN the same day: "I would like to refer to today's statement by Russian officials, the minister of public health and another official in charge of chemical weapons -- it's very important what they both said -- that there are no programs for the development of biological weapons in Russia. There is only research for medical purposes."

Gorbachev also said he hoped that from the present crisis a "new, international world order" would be created.

Expert: Russia Knew in Advance, Encouraged Citizens to Cash Out Dollars

Dr. Alexandr Nemets
Monday, September 17, 2001

Russian press accounts and other activities by the Russian government this summer indicate that the Russian knew in advance that something would happen to America, including a "financial attack" against the U.S.

During the past three months, Russian media and officials have encouraged citizens to cash out of U.S. dollars pending an economic collapse there after an "attack."

Currently, the dominant view of the media is that the terrorist actions in New York City and Washington were just a "thunder bolt from the blue sky."

Could it be? Yes, a well organized group accomplished these dastardly acts. But just how well organized was it?

Obviously, President Bush and Vice-President Cheney are targeting the powers behind these terrorist groups, the states that give them safe harbor and backing.

Sponsors of state terrorism include Iran, Iraq, Libya, Cuba, North Korea, Sudan, and Syria.

Did you know that all of these countries have very close ties with Russia and her military/intelligence agencies?

Could it be that the Russians actually expected this in advance and even counted on it, discussing the possible consequences?

My suspicions were raised this July and August as I scanned and sifted through all of Russia's major newspapers.

Considering Russia's close ties to these terrorist countries, Russian activities need close scrutiny.

Pravda Wrote of Financial 'Attack' on U.S.

Consider the July 12, 2001 page-one report in Pravda - still considered the establishment voice of Russia's old guard communists who control the military and intelligence agencies.

The Pravda article was entitled "The Dollar and America Will Fall Down on August 19? - That's the Opinion of Dr. Tatyana Koryagina, Who Very [accurately] predicted the August Default in 1998."

This article struck me for several reasons. Major newspapers so closely aligned with the government do not attempt to create panic or fear in the public -- unless the government wants this information to be publicly aired.

Also, a major newspaper would be reluctant to print a major prediction for which it could be held accountable.

This Pravda article was published about the same time as another strange event that took place in early July in the Russian State Duma.

The Duma held a conference entitled "On the measures to provide the development of Russian economy in the environment of destabilization of the world financial system."

The chairman of the Duma Commission on Economic Politics, Dr. Sergei Glazyev, headed the hearings.

Some prominent foreigners, including Lyndon Larouche from the U.S. and Malaysian Ambassador in Russia, Yacha Baba, were among the participants.

Tatyana Koryagina made a statement at the end of hearings - as a Russian expert in the shadow economy, shadow politics and conspirology.

She is a senior research fellow in the Institute of Macroeconomic Researches subordinated to Russian Ministry of Economic Development (Minekonom). The main theme of the Duma hearings was the rapidly approaching economic crash of the U.S.

The hearings focused on preparing recommendations for President Putin as to what Russia should to do to soften the consequences of this coming catastrophe.

Pravda also detailed its own interview with Dr. Koryagina.

Here is an excerpt:

Koryagina: Some fluctuation in this date is possible. Serious forces are acting against THOSE WHO ARE NOW PREPARING THE ATTACK ON THE UNITED STATES. August, with very high probability, will bring the financial catastrophe to the U.S. . . .The last 10 days of August have especial importance from a religious-sensible point of view.

It is important to note this story was not an isolated one, or a cute, human interest story as one may find occasionally on the cover of the Wall Street Journal.

It was a serious news report, and story, discussed widely in Russia, including on national TV programs. The thrust of the story was that Russian officials were strongly encouraging its citizens to cash out of the U.S. dollar.

It is also important to understand that Dr. Koryagina is one of the leading economists in a Russian social group which, from the very beginning, has fiercely opposed "radical economic reform" in Russia. She is a firm supporter of President Putin.

She and her network actively support Putin, especially his foreign policy aimed at the diminishing America's global role.

In particular, they support Putin's policy of engagement of Iran, Iraq and other nations of concern. Dr. Koryagina herself should be considered as an insightful, well-connected and well-informed person.

Dr. Koryagina says much about the invisible and unstoppable "international mystical-religious forces" preparing an attack on the U.S.

It looks like she knows the real nature of these forces and tries to disguise them in a "conspiratorial fog."

She is sure that such an attack or strike of some kind - sudden and effective enough - will really take place, and will cause panic and an ensuing crash of the U.S. financial system and the world financial system, already unstable. However, Dr. Koryagina evidently does not know the exact mechanism of the attack.

Duma Warned Citizens to Cash out Dollars

The hearings in the Duma, which has become a rubber stump for President Putin, have been inspired without doubt by the Kremlin, "taking the necessary healthy measures" in advance of a U.S. crash and world crisis.

The Kremlin clearly is thinking how it should operate in the "new world" after the expected U.S. crash.

It is my belief that the Kremlin provided Dr. Koryagina with a very small part of its information on the forthcoming attack against the U.S.

Another article on this same theme was published by Pravda on July 17, 2001.

It was an interview with the Chairman of the Duma Commission on Economic Politics Dr. Sergei Glazyev--indeed, one of the most prominent Russian economists.

The article was entitled "The Dollar and the U.S. Could Fall at Any Moment."

Dr. Glazyev, in his answers, did not mention the forces preparing an attack on the U.S. and its financial system.

He merely discussed the forms and scales of the forthcoming financial catastrophe in the U.S. and its consequences for Russia - mostly, beneficial ones if the necessary measures are taken in advance.

In particular, like Dr. Koryagina, Dr. Glazyev advised the Russian public to change dollars for rubles and predicted that "the ruble will become the reserve currency for Eurasia, particularly in trade with China and India."

Third Article, More Media

Pravda published a third article on this theme on 31 July - 1 August 2001. This article was called "The Dollar and the U.S. Will Fall" and compiled in the form of an interview with the Malaysian Ambassador in Russia.

Other Moscow newspapers published articles of this kind also.

As a result, New York's Russian-language TV channel in early August was forced to state that "the Moscow rumors are ungrounded." Within a few days the public forgot all about this story.

The tone of Moscow economists predicting the crash of the U.S. financial-economic system is confident and somewhat delightful: "Finally, it is going to happen!"

They are not only discussing the future, they are evidently trying to issue a self-fulfilling prophecy transforming this future into the present. This is because the prospects described in the above articles are extremely attractive for the Russian elite for the following reasons:

(a) It will become possible to pay off Russia's huge foreign debts with devalued dollars; it would be really easy enough if oil prices jumped to $100 per barrel or more.

(b) Russia would become really equal among a weakened G-8 group of nations.

(c) Investment conditions in Russia would become really attractive - in comparison to the bleak global background. Russia could become the goal of huge foreign investment.

(d) If the U.S. military might is undermined (and it might be, if the financial system collapses), Russia will regain its control over the former Soviet republics, spread it to the Balkans and will reacquire its former super-empire status.

Such a prize, such a temptation for the criminal Russian "elite"! One small push, and such great booty! While reading these articles, it is almost possible to visualize how they are licking their lips with excitement.

So, those in Moscow had very serious reasons not to share information with the U.S. about the coming attack on the latter - if they indeed had such information.

Very likely, they did, and the maximum amount of information was concentrated in the Kremlin. According to numerous statements published by prominent U.S. economists after the tragedy, the time and places of the attacks were chosen--more precisely, pretty well calculated, as if the terrorists or those backing them had tried to do their best to undermine the U.S. financial system and political system and to cause a financial-economic crisis in the U.S.

There is some evidence that one jet, a TWA plane at JFK Airport, did not take off and perhaps another crash was thwarted. Was it intended for the New York Stock Exchange?

"It wasn't a healthy economy to begin with, and this could be just enough to push us into a mild recession and render a blow to consumer confidence," one of these economists told the UPI.

He continued: "There has been a complete disruption of passenger flights. Besides the airline industry, tourism, retail and the shipping sectors will feel the negative effects of Tuesday's attack. Tougher security measures now in place at the nation's airports will increase shipping and travel expenses that will be passed along to the consumer."

And the consumer confidence index, low already, declined additionally.

However, those in Moscow very probably waited for much greater effects.

Remarkably, immediately after the events in New York and Washington -- at approximately 6 P.M. Moscow time -- the dollar exchange rate in Moscow street exchanges fell from 29 rubles to 15-20 rubles--as if the Moscow financial experts had awaited the strikes or expected greater panic and collapse.

It is important to note that such a great fluctuation in the exchange rate happened in no other world capital. The next day, the dollar in Moscow gradually returned to its previous exchange rate.

A network of terrorists groups -- mostly in the U.S. and Middle East -- were merely the fingers implementing the terrorist strikes.

After all, Arab terrorists groups are supported by rogue nations --Libya, Syria, Iran, Iraq, Sudan.

These countries are "hands."

U.S. Needs to Look at Source

Now, if the U.S. and NATO forces carry out retaliatory strikes on Afghanistan, the "hands" will be punished.

And where is the body, the heart of the beast?

And who provides the advanced military technology--including that needed for "special actions"--to these nations of concern? Who supports them in the UN? After all, who demonstrates daily the desire to diminish or undermine America's global influence? Moscow and Beijing. And Moscow, probably, is even more evil and impudent. Let us think about the Moscow rulers. Yes, of course, Putin immediately sent condolences to President Bush and the American people.

It should be taken into account here that, in September 1999 Putin consummately used the apartment explosions in Moscow and Volgodonsk (KGB-organized actions, in the opinion of most of the Russian media and in the opinion of the author) to gain supreme power in Russia.

Now the Kremlin is making state ments about a "joint struggle against world terrorism," about "the ties between the actions in New York and the actions in Moscow in September 1999."

Indeed, these are probably closely tied to one another, and the same forces are remaining behind the actions in New York and in Moscow. But what is the real name of these forces? The investigation should go to the bottom of the barrel and provide the proper answer.

Sunday November 4 7:02 PM ET

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States, fearful of a bioterrorism attack similar to the anthrax scare sweeping the country, said on Sunday key front-line medical workers were being vaccinated against smallpox.

While stressing there were no present signs of a smallpox outbreak, officials for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said a crash training program was also under way to teach doctors and other health workers nationwide about a disease eradicated throughout the world in 1981.

The smallpox precautions briefly took the spotlight off anthrax contamination that has killed four people since it first surfaced a month ago in Florida.

``We have been, for several years, trying to upgrade our capabilities for bioterrorism and those of state and local health departments,'' CDC Director Jeffrey Koplan said.

``However, since September 11, we've certainly accelerated that,'' Koplan told CNN's Late Edition.

``We have increased the number of people we have who are capable, trained and ready to go out to investigate smallpox outbreaks should they occur.''

CDC officials said dozens of medical workers were receiving smallpox vaccinations.

The New York Times put the number at about 140.

Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Dr. Anthony Fauci said those being vaccinated were people who would be called on to go into action at the first sign of a smallpox outbreak.

``You vaccinate what we call the first responders, the people that are going to have to go out into the field, do the examination, do the isolation, do the quarantine. You've got to get them vaccinated,'' Fauci told Face the Nation on CBS.

``We must be prepared for the use of smallpox as a bioterrorism weapon,'' Fauci added.

The smallpox virus, a highly infectious disease characterized by a rash and high fever, is known to exist only in laboratories in the United States and Russia.

But intelligence services suspect some other nations including Iraq and North Korea may also have stocks.

Asked if there were plans for a wider vaccination against smallpox, Koplan replied: ``Not at this time. Our intention and the Department of Health and Human Services' intention is to have enough vaccine available so, should we need to use it, anyone who would need it could get it.''

Editor's note: NewsMax columnist, Col. Stanislav Lunev, has warned of Russia's plans against the U.S. NewsMax has just published his audiotape set called "CIA Files."

There are so many other news reports that could be entered here to reveal the outright hatred and despite that Russia (Esau), China (Magog) and the Arabs (Ishmael) have for America (Israel) and the modern day country of Israel (Judah), but space is very limited. They have hatched a sinister plot with which they do plan to eliminate the descendants of Jacob (Israel). Scripture reveals that YAHWEH will allow this scheme to be successful in the latter days in the period that is called "the time of Jacob’s trouble."

We need to prepare ourselves for the inevitable. We need to be seeking our Creator YAHWEH, walking according to His ways, proclaiming His name, His Son, His righteousness, and His kingdom. JH

            Should a New Testament Believer 
Observe  HALLOWE’EN?

They come in droves on the evening of every October 31st. They are dressed up in various costumes and disguise. Many of them are dressed as some kind of goblin, a witch, a ghost, a devil or whatever else may suit their fancy. It is not a costume ball, it is Hallowe’en. On this night the children dress in their costumes and roam the streets knocking on the doors. When the householder opens the door he is met with the famous cry, "Trick or treat!" The householder usually is stocked up with all sorts of candies to pass out to the expectant children.

Hallowe’en is a modern day tradition of the Christian church. Many of the churches sponsor parties with all sorts of contests, apple bobbing, etc. on this night. It is made to appear as if it is a harmless, innocent observance especially for children.

But where does Hallowe’en come from? Is it Biblical? Is it an acceptable tradition to the great Creator YAHWEH and His beloved Son YAHshua?

The World Book Encyclopedia has this to say about Hallowe’en: "On October 31, a night to play at being witches, ghosts, and fairies. It is the eve of the Christian festival of All Saints. The name means Holy Eve, a time originally set apart to honor the memory of all saints.

The building of bonfires, cracking of nuts, bobbing for apples floating in tubs of water, and telling of fortunes and ghost stories, which are now Hallowe’en customs, are all relics of paganism. About thirteen centuries ago, pagans celebrated November 1 as All Spirits’ Day, when spirits, both good and evil, were believed to be on earth. The Druids also celebrated their harvest festival about that time, and many strange ceremonies were performed. Even after the pagans adopted Christianity, they still observed many of their old customs, including those which have survived as the Hallowe’en diversions of to-day." (Volume 8, p. 3022).

The Encyclopedia Britannica also has this to say: "HALLOWE’EN or ALL HALLOWS EVE, the name given to Oct. 31, as the vigil of Hallowmas or All Saint’s Day, now chiefly known as the eve of the Christian festival. It long antedates Christianity. The two chief characteristics of ancient Hallowe’en were the lighting of bonfires and the belief that this is the one night in the year during which ghosts and witches are most likely to wander abroad. History shows that the main celebrations of Hallowe’en are purely Druidical, and this is further proved by the fact that in parts of Ireland Oct. 31 is still known as Oidhche Shamhna, ‘Vigil of Saman.’ This is directly connected with the Druidic belief in the calling together of certain wicked souls on Hallowe’en by Saman, lord of death. On the Druidic ceremonies were grafted some of the characteristics of the Roman festival in honour of Pomona (a Roman goddess of fruits and fruit trees) held about Nov. 1, in which nuts and apples, representing the winter store of fruits, played an important part. The custom of lighting Hallowe’en fires survived until recently in the highlands of Scotland and Wales." (Volume 11, pp. 102-103)

Notice it once again, Hallowe’en observance long antedates Christianity. Hallowe’en is an observance taken from paganism. Pagans and heathen were idolaters, worshippers of polytheistic deities.

Today’s custom is for the children to go from house to house trick or treating. Where did this custom come from? Here is what Anne Ross and Don Robins reveal, "On the Eve of Samain it was customary throughout the Celtic world to put food out for the dead. The dead were not regarded as benign, but frequently held to be tricksters and to possess potent powers of evil like the fairies, who were themselves sometimes regarded as the dead." (The Life And Death Of A Druid Prince, p. 141)

Isn’t it amazing! Children are dressed up to represent witches, goblins, ghosts, the dead, devils, etc. and are allowed to go from house to house demanding food (a treat) or threatening a trick. This is all in the spirit of Samain/Saman, the sovereign (lord) of the dead.

The Celtic World Edited by Miranda J. Green also says under the caption of Samain, "The Celtic New Year began on the eve of 1 November. It was the most dangerous and the most portentous of all the calendar festivals. At this time the gods moved freely in the world of mankind, and played cruel tricks on unsuspecting people." (p. 434)

Don’t all of these customs and traditions that we have covered so far continue to be practiced in some manner even today, especially on Hallowe’en?

The next question would be How does this practice relate to the Scriptures, the Heavenly FATHER or His beloved Son YAHshua the Messiah?

As Israel was about to enter the land of promise YAHWEH commanded them, "When thou art come into the land which YAHWEH thy Elohim giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations. There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all that do these things are an abomination unto YAHWEH: and because of these abominations YAHWEH thy Elohim doth drive them out from before thee. Thou shalt be perfect with YAHWEH thy Elohim. For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, YAHWEH thy Elohim hath not suffered thee so to do," Dt. 18:9-14.

What are all of these things that YAHWEH forbade the Israelites to imbibe? One that uses divination is one who casts a lot or utilizes a magic scroll, or exercises witchcraft in order to make a determination. This would be similar to using a horoscope in order to determine what would happen on a certain day in order to plan that days activities or future events.

An observer of times is one who practices magic, a sorcerer or is a fortune-teller. An enchanter is one who can whisper a magic spell or a prognosticator, one who is able to foretell events or seeks to control future events through magic spells. A witch is also a sorcerer, someone who practices magic, inchantments, witchcraft, etc. A charmer is one who is able to utilize spells to join with something (the spirits of the underworld?). A consulter with familiar spirits is one who mumbles, prattles, is a ventriloquist or consults with the spirit world. A wizard is one who is able to conjure up ghosts (spirits). A necromancer is one who inquires of the dead. (All definitions come from Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance and The Interlinear Bible.)

A witch or sorcerer was such a hated thing with YAHWEH that He commanded, "Thou shalt not suffer a witch (can also be translated as sorcerer) to live," Ex. 22:18.

YAHWEH also commanded, "He that sacrificeth unto any elohim, save unto YAHWEH only, he shall be utterly destroyed," Ex. 22:20.

Ancient Israel disobeyed YAHWEH'S commands concerning these things and was eventually utterly removed from the land. Truly, such things are considered to be deadly to YAHWEH, and clearly against His commands.

The Apostle Paul wrote, "What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing? But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to YAHWEH: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils. Ye cannot drink the cup of YAHWEH, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of YAHWEH'S table, and of the table of devils," 1 Cor. 10:19-21.

Paul also encourages, "Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry," 1 Cor. 10:14.

Previously he had written, "Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them (Israel); as it is written, ‘The People sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.’ Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand," 1 Cor. 10:7-8.

Again, he writes, "This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are manifest which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revelings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in the past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of Elohim," Gal. 5:16-21.

Wouldn’t Paul’s warnings here be the same as a New Testament command? It certainly is a very strong warning. To practice idolatry and witchcraft will cause one to lose out on the blessed kingdom of heaven which is to be established at the end of this age!

The Savior YAHshua did not come in order to approve of such things. He rather came to obey the commands of the Heavenly FATHER (Mat. 5:17—20).

YAHshua set an example for us that we should walk in His steps (1 Pet. 2:21-22).

Saman is the lord or sovereign of death. Death came through the Devil’s lie, "Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it," Jn. 8:44. Saman is none other than Satan.

The serpent Satan originally deceived Eve in the garden of Eden as is revealed by the very first book of the Bible (Genesis). The very last book of the Bible (Revelation) reveals that he is still in the process of deceiving the whole world (Rev. 12:9).

If Christianity is practicing the rites and rituals of paganism and heathenism, which is idolatry, then Christianity has also become deceived by the serpent Satan. The Apostle Paul also warned that such was beginning to happen even in his day, "Would to Elohim ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed bear with me. For I am jealous over you with a pious jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to the Messiah. But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in the Messiah," 2 Cor. 11:1-4. The word "simplicity" could also have been translated as purity or cleanness.

Satan is the prince and elohim of this world (Jn. 14:30, 2 Cor. 4:4). He has no part in the true Savior YAHshua nor does Hallowe’en.

To paganize the faith of YAHWEH and the Messiah YAHshua is to hold them in idolatry, impurity and uncleanness. Such is forbidden in both Old and New Testament Scriptures. It is time to repent of these abominable practices, turn and worship the FATHER and Son in the acceptable commanded way of the Scriptures.

Old Testament Israel was an example for the New Testament believer. "Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; and were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; and did all eat the same spiritual meat; and did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them (that they were on the same road with): and that Rock was the Messiah. But with many of the YAHWEH was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness. Now these things were our examples (types), to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted," 1 Cor. 10:1-6.

Israel was destroyed and utterly removed from YAHWEH'S sight because of their idolatrous behavior.

The same thing will happen to the New Testament believer if they do not repent and change their way.

Not only was the northern kingdom of Israel cast out of the land for their unrepentant wickedness, but the southern kingdom of Judah suffered the same fate. In His judgment against Judah and Jerusalem, YAHWEH proclaims, "Son of man, say unto her, ‘Thou art the land that is not cleansed, nor rained upon in the day of indignation. There is a conspiracy of her prophets in the midst thereof, like a roaring lion ravening the prey; thay have devoured souls; they have taken the treasure and precious things; they have made her many widows in the midst thereof. Her priests have violated My law, and have profaned Mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they shewed difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from My sabbaths, and I am profaned among them. Her princes in the midst thereof are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, to get dishonest gain. And her prophets have daubed them with untempered morter, seeing vainty, and divining lies unto them, saying, ‘Thus saith the Sovereign YAHWEH,’ when YAHWEH hath not spoken. The People of the land have used oppression, and exercised robbery, and have vexed the poor and needy: yea, they have oppressed the stranger wrongfully. And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before Me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none. Therefore have I poured out Mine indignation upon them; I have consumed them with the fire of My wrath: their own way have I recompensed upon their heads, saith the Sovereign YAHWEH," Ez. 22:24-31.

How like our own nation, its political and so-called spiritual leaders and people are these verses! The Spiritual leaders are failing to distinguish between that which clean and unclean, that which is holy and profane. Nay, rather they delight in incorporating the evil works of the flesh into the worship of the Heavenly FATHER and Son. The end result will be the same! The end result is already coming upon us!

YAHWEH not only condemned the Levitical ministry and priesthood for their failings, but they will suffer future consequences for their iniquities as the prophet Ezekiel was inspired to write, "And YAHWEH said unto me, Son of man, mark well, and behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears all that I say unto thee concerning all the ordinances of the house of YAHWEH, and all the laws thereof; and mark well the entering in of the house, with every going forth of the sanctuary. And thou shalt say to the rebellious, even to the house of Israel, Thus saith the Sovereign YAHWEH; O ye house of Israel, let it suffice you of all your abominations, In that ye have brought into my sanctuary strangers, uncircumcised in heart, and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, to pollute it, even my house, when ye offer my bread, the fat and the blood, and they have broken my covenant because of all your abominations. And ye have not kept the charge of mine holy things: but ye have set keepers of my charge in my sanctuary for yourselves. Thus saith The Sovereign YAHWEH; No stranger, uncircumcised in heart, nor uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of any stranger that is among the children of Israel. And the Levites that are gone away far from me, when Israel went astray, which went astray away from me after their idols; they shall even bear their iniquity. Yet they shall be ministers in my sanctuary, having charge at the gates of the house, and ministering to the house: they shall slay the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they shall stand before them to minister unto them. Because they ministered unto them before their idols, and caused the house of Israel to fall into iniquity; therefore have I lifted up mine hand against them, saith the Sovereign YAHWEH, and they shall bear their iniquity. And they shall not come near unto me, to do the office of a priest unto me, nor to come near to any of my holy things, in the most holy place: but they shall bear their shame, and their abominations which they have committed. But I will make them keepers of the charge of the house, for all the service thereof, and for all that shall be done therein," Ez. 44:5-14.

The Levitical priesthood will still be serving at the altar and with the physical things of the temple, but they will not be allowed to take part in the holy and spiritual aspects! They will bear their shame and iniquity.

Ezekiel is inspired to further proclaim, "But the priests the Levites, the sons of Zadok, that kept the charge of my sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from me, they shall come near to me to minister unto me, and they shall stand before me to offer unto me the fat and the blood, saith YAHWEH: They shall enter into my sanctuary, and they shall come near to my table, to minister unto me, and they shall keep my charge. And it shall come to pass, that when they enter in at the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen garments; and no wool shall come upon them, whiles they minister in the gates of the inner court, and within. They shall have linen bonnets upon their heads, and shall have linen breeches upon their loins; they shall not gird themselves with any thing that causeth sweat. And when they go forth into the utter court, even into the utter court to the people, they shall put off their garments wherein they ministered, and lay them in the holy chambers, and they shall put on other garments; and they shall not sanctify the people with their garments. Neither shall they shave their heads, nor suffer their locks to grow long; they shall only poll their heads. Neither shall any priest drink wine, when they enter into the inner court. Neither shall they take for their wives a widow, nor her that is put away: but they shall take maidens of the seed of the house of Israel, or a widow that had a priest before. And they shall teach my people the difference between the holy and profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean. And in controversy they shall stand in judgment; and they shall judge it according to my judgments: and they shall keep my laws and my statutes in all mine assemblies; and they shall hallow my sabbaths. And they shall come at no dead person to defile themselves: but for father, or for mother, or for son, or for daughter, for brother, or for sister that hath had no husband, they may defile themselves. And after he is cleansed, they shall reckon unto him seven days. And in the day that he goeth into the sanctuary, unto the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, he shall offer his sin offering, saith YAHWEH. And it shall be unto them for an inheritance: I am their inheritance: and ye shall give them no possession in Israel: I am their possession. They shall eat the meat offering, and the sin offering, and the trespass offering; and every dedicated thing in Israel shall be theirs. And the first of all the firstfruits of all things, and every oblation of all, of every sort of your oblations, shall be the priest's: ye shall also give unto the priest the first of your dough, that he may cause the blessing to rest in thine house. The priests shall not eat of any thing that is dead of itself, or torn, whether it be fowl or beast," vv. 15-31.

It is obvious that these sons of Zadok are a new priesthood. It is the priesthood of Melchizedek which has replaced the Levitical priesthood (Heb. 7:12).

YAHshua the Messiah is made the Heavenly High Priest after the order of Melchizedek. Melchizedek means "King of Righteousness" (Heb. 7:2). Melchizedek is a combination of two Hebrew words. The first word is "Melek" (king) and the second is zedek (from Zadok which means "righteous). Thus, the sons of Zadok are the faithful ones in the Messiah.

The great problem exhibited by the followers and especially the ministers of Christianity is that, just as the Levitical priesthood failed to distinguish between the clean and the unclean, the holy and the profane, and the Sabbath days, they have also done likewise. Therefore, YAHWEH being no respecter of persons, will visit their iniquity upon their own heads in like manner.

We are very close to the end of the age. While many of the leaders of this world are working behind the scenes to bring forth a new world order, YAHWEH is, Himself, working behind the scenes to bring forth His own Kingdom.

The Apostle Peter cried out, "Repent and be baptized everyone of you in the name of YAHshua the Messiah for the remission of sins and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." The Holy Spirit will lead you into the truth and obedience of the Scriptures and not into the abominations of idolatry.

If Christianity is to continue as any kind of viable ministry, then it must repent greatly! It will have to forsake the observance of the abominable Halloween, but even more than that, it must forsake the observance of Sunday, Christmas, Easter, Valentine’s Day, the Roman calendar, the false names, etc., etc. While some may come out of it, it appears that the overall great preponderance of mainstream Christianity will remain unrepentant until the end and will have to suffer the wrath and indignation of Almighty YAHWEH.

There is an assembly named Thyatira. This assembly has the spirit of Jezebel, the evil queen of Israel who led the people into idolatrous Baal worship, in her midst. YAHWEH gives the idolatrous space (time) to repent. Those who don’t repent will suffer the great tribulation and be slain with death (Rev. 3:18-23).

Thus, we must distinguish between the works of idolatry and the clean, righteous works of YAHWEH. We must repent of the works of uncleanness, profanity and idolatry.

The time to ACT is now before it is too late! By Jerry Healan

The following message was emailed to me on 9/18/01:

Interesting information from a Kabbalah website: the date 9/11 = 9+1+1= 11. Sept. 11 is the 254th day of the year...2+5+4= 11. On Sept. 11 there are 111 days left to the end of the year. 119 is the area code to Iraq/Iran 1+1+9= 11. Two towers resemble the number 11. The first plane flight to strike the towers was flight 11. New York is the 11th state added to the union. New York City has 11 letters. Afghanistan has 11 letters. Flight 11 had 92 persons on board; 9+2= 11. Flight 77 had 65 on board. 6+5= 11.

Does anybody know what the number 11 signifies? I know that the Kabbalah teaches that numbers have significance...but eleven??? Is it just coincidence? What’s the point? Anybody know?

This email stirred me to do a little research. I have an E. W. Bullinger Companion Bible which contains 198 appendixes. These appendixes have many important notes and items concerning the Scriptures. I refer to it frequently.

Appendix 10 is entitled "The Spiritual Significance Of Numbers." According to Mr. Bullinger, the number eleven denotes disorder, disorganization because it is one short of the number twelve.

Shouldn’t this be very important and significant to us? Look at the disorder and disorganization that has ensued since Sept. 11. Our financial markets have become disordered and disorganized since that time. Even our military is in disorder. People’s lives have become disordered and disorganized. Hundreds of thousands have lost their jobs. The airlines have become disorganized.

While we accuse Osama Bin Laden for the disaster, we really don’t know just exactly who is behind the whole thing. Of course, this author believes that Iraq, Iran, Libya, Syria, the PLO, the Muslim world, and yes, Afghanistan are all behind this disaster. But we can’t leave out other enemies who would be delighted to experience our demise, especially Russia and China. Read some of our news items and you will see why.

I have seen a couple of photographs of the two towers and the flames and smoke issuing forth from them when they were first hit. In both of these photographs there are demon like images. They were both exhibited on the internet. But if we just stop and think a little bit, we might also discover that Satan is the author of confusion and disorder. Thus, it would be no small matter to understand that he is the mastermind of the whole thing.

It appears to us that we have now been given into the hand of Satan the devil for the purpose of bringing about chaos, confusion, disorder, disorganization, etc.. Why? Well...let’s take the number eleven (11) and do the same thing with it that we did with 9/11. 11 = 1 + 1 = 2.

Here is what Bullinger has to say about the number 2 (two): Two denotes difference. If two different persons agree in testimony it is conclusive. Otherwise two implies opposition, enmity, and division, as the work of the Second day (the second day of the creation account in the book of Genesis.)

What Bullinger is referring to here is the separation of the waters from the waters, "And Elohim said, ‘Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.’ And Elohim made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. And Elohim called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day," Gen. 1:6-8.

Water is a type of spirit, "In the last day, that great day of the feast, YAHshua stood and cried, saying, ‘If any man thirst, let him come unto Me, and drink. He that believeth on Me, as the scripture hath said, out of His belly shall flow rivers of living water.’ (But this spake He of the Spirit, Which they that believe on Him should receive: for the Holy Spirit was not yet given; because that YAHshua was not yet glorified.)" Jn. 7:37-39.

Thus the waters under the firmament would be typical of and represent the earthly spirit while the waters above the firmament would represent the Holy Spirit.

As we very well know and understand, the carnal mind under the influence of the earthly spirit is enmity against YAHWEH, for it is not subject to the law of YAHWEH, neither indeed can be. (Ro. 8:7)

Thus, we can understand exactly what Mr. Bullinger is speaking of here when he denotes that the number two represents opposition, enmity, and division. This is truly the situation that exists between us as a nation and people and our great Creator YAHWEH.

We are going to have to repent of our opposition and enmity toward Him if we are ever going to overcome our own enemies and even ourselves. When we get right down to the nitty gritty, we have been our own worst enemies.

Bullinger has this to say about the number 13, "Denotes rebellion, apostasy, defection, disintegration, revolution, &c. The first occurrence fixes this (Gen. 14:4 ["And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of nations; that these made war with Bera king of Sodom, and with Birsha king of Gomorrah, Sinab king of Admah, and Shemeber king of Zeooiim, and king Bela, which is Zoar. All these were joined together in the vale of Siddim, which is the salt sea. Twelve years they served Chedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year they rebelled."]); and the second confirms it (Gen. 17:25, "And Ishmael his son was thirteen years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin."). It, and its multiples, are seen in all numbers, and in the Gematria (see above) of all names and passages that are associated with rebellion, &c.

King Solomon spent 7 years building the temple, the house of YAHWEH, but according to 1 Ki. 7:1, he spent 13 years building his own house. Solomon rebelled against YAHWEH later in his life.

When the American colonies obtained to the number thirteen, they rebelled against the king of England. Isn’t it also interesting that when our children enter into their 13th year, they generally become rebellious.

Our nation was built on rebellion, a thing of which most people are very proud. But the problem is that we not only were at odds with the king of England, but we have been and are also at odds with our Creator and heavenly King YAHWEH.

It is our rebellion that has caused a difference between us and our Creator which, in turn, leads to disorder and disorganization. Our disorder and disorganization will now continue until we are totally consumed except we repent and turn to our Creator YAHWEH.

Twelve denotes Governmental perfection. It is the number or factor of all numbers connected with government: whether by tribes or apostles, or in measurements of time, or in things which have to do with government in the heavens and the earth.

There were twelve tribes of Israel which originated from the twelve sons of Israel. There were the twelve apostles of YAHshua the Messiah. When YAHshua was slain, resurrected and ascended into heaven, there were only 120 adherents to the faith. 120 is 12 x (times) 10.

Thus, the government that belongs to YAHshua the Messiah contains the 12 tribes of Israel, the 12 apostles and the 144,000 firstfruits.

Ten denotes Ordinal perfection. Ordinal perfection has to do with perfection of order. We count from 0 through 9. Ten is another new first because after the 9th digit, numeration begins anew.

The 120 believers represented the numbers 12 and 10. There were 12 apostles representing governmental perfection. There were 10 times 12 representing ordinal perfection. YAHshua has begun building His perfect government for rulership in the kingdom of heaven.

144,000 = 12 x 12 x10 x 10 x 10. The 144,000 firstfruits are Mount Zion (Rev. 14:1). They are the most perfect governmental body for they are Governmental perfection multiplied or squared (12 x 12) and Ordinal perfection cubed (10 x 10 x 10).

Amazingly, 144,000 is also the product of 120 x 1200! Thus, YAHshua originally began with 12 apostles (perfect governmental organization). They in turn were multiplied by 10 (ordinal perfection) to obtain 120. Finally, the 120 are multiplied again by 1200 or 12 x 10 x 10, more numbers symbolic of governmental and ordinal perfection. As stated, this is Mount Zion which is YAHWEH'S hill and government.

This is the government that we need to be looking and praying for because there will be power, holiness, light, faithfulness and truth. There will be no huge inept governmental bureaucracy.
