It is
imperative that West African, Americanized, Black, Emancipated, Freed
Chattel Slave Citizens of the United States of America Stand With US-Eretz Israel, which is the
Return of Abraham's Seed to the Blessed Promised Land...the only Jewish State in
the world in over 2,000 years.
After the longest
flight of my life which was (13 hours) from Los Angeles to Israel, I landed at
the world famous
Why I Journeyed to Eretz Israel Ben Gurion
Airport in Tel Aviv on the evening of December 21st, 2009 to begin the
ten day visit arranged for me by my host at Stand With Us. Walking
in a state of wonderment, I would often tell folks who acknowledged my
presence that it was first journey to Israel, all of whom said that I
would be blessed. Of course, they were right.
As we traveled from
Tel Aviv up the mountains to Jerusalem where I would reside in a hotel
only a block away from the Prime Ministers House, my assigned taxi
driver was inundated with a barrage of question from me about everything
that was seeable in the night, including certain armor vehicles as
memorials to the Six Day - Lightning War of June 1967.
What really struck
me that night and often throughout the journey was the little villages
or towns on the top of hill shining their lights at night and gleaming
with Jerusalem sand stone buildings in the day. Such beautiful
sights, those little towns! It was then that I began to
understand what Jesus Christ meant when He spoke of "city set on a
hill"...wow!
However, the other
excitement that I experienced that first evening was actually traveling
up the mountain. The driver told me that Jerusalem was set
on the top of a mountain. Of course, I thought....because the
Bible often speaks of Jerusalem and Zion as being a mountain of
mountains, etc. Then the realization hit that all my short life,
though knowing what the Scriptures says, I thought and imagined that the
land around Jerusalem was flat. Another huge misconception.
It is like when I thought that it was the Democratic Party that freed
Blacks in America from slavery.
Then I had dinner
with a STW staff member in a small restaurant club near my hotel that
was bustling with life (kiam) of mainly young folks twenties and
thirties and learned that seven years ago a homicide-suicide bomber
exploded his miserable life in it and killing twenty (22) people.
Nevertheless, I was
told that instead of closing and being depressed, the owner courageously
reopened the club and started anew, not allowing the evil taunt-curse from the Islamafascist "Death to Israel" to be a reality,
therefore their terrorist attack upon the children of Israel back-fired.
I was awed to be there. In fact, I ate several meals there and
became friends with the manager as well as some of the staff.
The next day the STW
staff began leading me on my epic journey by first visiting YAD VASHEM -
"Holocaust Martyrs' and Heroes' Remembrance Authority" located at the
foot of
Mount Herzl on
the Mount of Remembrance in
Jerusalem,
is
Israel's official
memorial to the Jewish victims of
the Holocaust.
The origin of the name is from a Biblical verse: "And to them will I
give in my house and within my walls a memorial and a name (Yad
Vashem) that shall not be cut off." (Isaiah
56: 5)'
Though my visitation
to YAD VASHEM was to pay homage to the martyrs, I also sensed that my
presence there was for another but very special and mysterious reason.
However upon returning to Los Angeles and ruminating over the visit, I
believe that now I understand my visit at YAD VASHEM. Please visit
Warning At
Admonishment at YAD VASHEM (+)
Later we visited the
Biblical Mount Olives where I had the opportunity to look to the east
side towards Jordan and Dead Sea to the south. It is from this
direction coming eastward out of the sky that Jesus Christ says that He
will return to Earth at the Mount Olives from whence He also lifted into
Heaven 50 days after His resurrection. Please visit The Sign of
the Son of Man (+)
Then we went to the
West side of the Mount and look westward towards the familiar sight
known around the world as Old Jerusalem featuring Dome of the Rock
Shrine; the Al Axah Mosque; the Tower or citadel of King David; the
Eastern Wall showcasing the East or Golden Gate that Jesus passed
through and by which the Jewish Messiah will pass upon His coming and
entrance into Jerusalem.
Interestingly, I was
told that the Islamic community has buried thousands of their dead in
front of the Golden Gate entrance and along the Eastern Wall in crazed
notion to prevent the Jewish Messiah from entering the city because He
won't defile Himself by death, subsequently go away and thereby ending
the prophecies of the Hebrew Holy Scripture. Note I said "crazed"
See View West Side of Mount Olives (+)
From the Mount of
Olives we went into the Old City pausing at the gate by which the young
soldiers of Israeli Defense Forces of the June, 1967 Six Day or
Lightening War" cemented a masuzza into the wall which says, "Shama
Israel, Adonai, Ele Haehnu, Adonai Echad - Hear O Israel, the LORD our
GOD is One LORD" See the Sham at the Gate (+)
Then we passed
through the narrow, Old City streets to the Kotel, or Western or Wailing
Wall. This, the most sacred place on Earth to Jews is where
the spot that I journeyed for all my life to arrive at.
There are no words here, other than I went to the Wall and began a
series of three discussions with GOD about His business with my Black
peoples in the United States and around the world. Please see
GOD - Solomon Covenant (+)
All of these
experience on this my first day in Eretz Israel from YAD VAHEM to the
Mount of Olives to the Wall is on video and being prepared for a
documentary, therefore at a latter day you will be able to see in
greater detail what occurred set the course for the rest of my epic
journey.
The next nine days
the staff escorted me from the borders of Syria and Israel on Golan
Heights, to Nazzereth the boyhood town of Jesus, to the Sea of Gallilee,
to the Valley of Megiddo, to Jaffa and Tel Aviv, to the Gaza-Israel
border and Sdorot - see Gaza Hamas Rockets (+), to Sheba Medical Center
at Ted Hashomer near Tel Aviv, to the Dead Sea, to Massada - see Massada
(+), to the Little Village of Peace in Dimona consisting of a community
of transplanted, ex-patriot American Blacks, to Bethlehem.
All along the
journey, I saw, met, spoke with and interviewed all kinds of people in
Israel, including Muslims who were dressed in their full Islamic custom
regalia, all of whom spoke well of Israel except on occasion in
Bethlehem square.
Israel is
ethno-racial-religious composite of three religions which are Judaism,
Christianity and Islam. I met and saw Jews who are
Ashkenazi-European (White), Sephardim Arabian and Persian,
Black Ethiopian and Sudanese.
Also, I learned that
the majority of Israelis are not from Europe as mythic tale goes, but
rather Arab nations.
Whatever, the
religious beliefs, ethno-racial identity, social class, etc, I learned
most importantly the people of Israel love each other like not other
folks that I have known, including my own. In fact, while their
are some in-yo-face- moments between them around various issues like
traffic snarls, I could actually sense the love that Israelis have for
one another.
This narration is a
quick overview of my journey to Eretz Israel. However, you will
find the rest of my report establishing my reasoning for standing with
Israel. I hope that our Heavenly Father will reveal to you what HE
has graciously shown to me.
In the meantime,
happy reading and Shalom in
Jerusalem - Bless Bethlehem
The
primary reason for my epic
journey to Eretz Israel, was/is to capture a general “snap-shot” photo
of Israel and his varied peoples, faiths, customs and apparent destiny
in documentary form American Black US citizens, i.e. the
Emancipated Slaves, as well as Christians of all sectors or
denominations and peoples, ethno-racial nations throughout the earth and
religious Beliefs.
It
is my wish, desire and intent to move Blacks in the United States to
Stand with Israel especially in these, his “Time of Jacobs Troubles”.
As seemingly
prophesied in the Hebrew Holy Scriptures (Bible) that prior to the
coming of the Messiah Jew and David's Kingdom, the GOD of Abraham would
bring all nations against Jerusalem, Zion and the Jewish State of Israel
for chastisement.
As a nation
within a nation forged by GOD through the dreadful experience of
slavery, and struggle to full Civil Rights in America, it is imperative
that when the dark and
bright day
of the LORD does come, we, as Blacks are found Standing as it were within the walls
of Jerusalem with the Children of Israel.
We must not be found in the
sight of GOD
as a participant of the notorious Nimrod-rebellion rabble of nations outside
the Walls of Jerusalem cursing and attacking the inhabitant thereof.
Love of Self?
Admittedly, such a
position is love for self, however, it is the only hope that my
people have to escape total destruction being cause by our own hands.
Subsequently, while
such a stance with Israel in Jerusalem seems selfish, it nonetheless
follows the admonition of Jesus Christ when He commands us all to love
GOD and our neighbors as ourselves, because upon these two
commandments rest all the laws and prophets.
The LORD clearly
reveals that love of another is impossible without first loving oneself,
thereby making all other pretenses of such, phony.
It is time that we West
Africans slaves who were emancipated into jurisdictional US citizenship
learn to cease the ancient, hateful, multiethnic quarrels of our
ancestors which originate in the land from where we were exiled.
In these dark and bright
days, we must end the raging war within our wounded souls to finally
love ourselves even as we are love of GOD.
Approaching Abraham and his
children in such a manner just may be the remedy to ourselves by the
Healing Wings-Light Rays of the Sun of Righteousness as prophesied in the
last book of the Hebrew
Holy Scriptures of Malachi 4:2.
Indeed, such salvation is why
and what the chosen people of GOD and the Holy Land that HE promised to
Abraham's Seed are there for, so that all nations may find Love.
* "The Skirt of A Jew" (+)
“Salvation is of
the Jews”
According to the Solomon Covenant with GOD made during the dedication of the
first
Temple, the ancient King of Israel requested that when the “stranger who is not
of Israel” come from a far country to the House that has the LORD’s Name
on it for the sake of the seeking pilgrim’s suffering peoples, that HE
would hear and stretch forth HIS Might Arm to deliver them from their
self-destructions, that HIS Name may be among them as well.
This is precisely
one of the main reasons that Jesus the Jew says, “Salvation is of the
Jews”.
It is my
understanding and faith that salvation is of Jews because they being the
Promised children of Abraham who is the Friend of GOD, are thereby the
sole Witnesses or servants, of HIS Existence and Will for all the
nations of humanity.
Therefore, knowing
this to be true, seeking the LORD of the Hebrew peoples by the Solomon
Covenant, including blessing them according the Promise made to
Abraham, is my only option, especially considering the state of
existence of Blacks in the USA, Africa and abroad.
The salvation of my
people via terrestrial contemporary powers whether:
political-governmental, economical; military, para-military,
revolutionary; or even religious, is beyond our reach, due to the horrid
circumstances and lack of time it would take to save them, is gone.
The Power On and Of Mt. Zion
Therefore, I went
(and still am there in Spirit) to the Promised Land of the holy peoples
thereof, to the House on Mt. Zion, where the Name of The LORD Is, to the
Wall of Wailing at the Temple Mount in the city of "old" Jerusalem to
speak with HIM about our plight and to offer my blessings to Abraham's
Seed.
However, such “faith
without works is dead”, therefore, I propose the following actions to
gain salvation for my Black peoples, they are:
Admonish or call
Blacks to taking public stances with Israel
For too long, Black
folks, especially Christians, have taken sacred pilgrimage to the Holy
Land seeking the Promised Blessing of Abraham of his seed-children,
literally freely eating at their table.
Taking It To The Streets
In returning home to America or Africa,
or from wherever they hail on the earth, the Seed of Ham and Cush tend
to keep their Abraham Promised blessings to themselves within the walls of
their churches, etc., instead of being the witnesses of GOD’s Presence
in the Holy Land and verifying HIS prophetic commands, that Israel is
the Jewish State of ancient King David.
It is for Blacks, especially those who
physically visit the Eretz Isael, seeking and receiving the blessings of
Abraham’s Seed, that they publicly, beyond the walls of their churches,
bless Abraham by speaking up for his returned Seed to the Promised Land
as GOD has fore sworn HIMSELF to for the sake of Abraham.
As Blacks, who boldly stomp into the
LORD’s House, brazenly set our selves at HIS Holy Table with HIS
children, even casting them aside instead of acknowledging, showing gratitude for who they are and represent, we have fallen into a
state of omission in our duty to HIM Who saved us from African
originated slavery.
Drinking From The LORD’s Holy Vessels
We must not be as the drunken, reveling
King of Babylon, BEL-SHAZZAR, son of Neb-u-chad-nezzar, (Daniel 5:1-31) who dared to liquor himself and his fellow revelers by
drinking their intoxicating mixtures out of the House of the LORD’s Holy
Vessels, whereby he and his whole kingdom was destroyed by the Will of
HIM whom he had offended.
We Blacks, tend to this sort of shameful
behavior as we too, however. Led by our ministering shepherds, we
travel to
Israel for the special blessings; or we get
joyful blessings and releases from GOD as we shout and sing HIS praises,
etc; we are thrilled by the powerful messages preached to us from the
Hebrew Holy Scriptures, etc.
Yet, while we eat, drink at the
Children’s Table of the LORD and “enjoy ourselves” in church, we sit silent to the
global oppression of Israel, the Returned Home in his Time of Troubles.
We must not join the violent, blood crazed with jealousy antics of Esau,
the twin brother of Jacob-Israel in his quest to do fatal violence to him by standing-by and
encouraging his calamity, as is noted in Obadiah 11.
"In the day that you stood on the other side, in the day that the
strangers carried away captives his forces, and foreigners entered into
his gate, and cast lots upon Jerusalem, even you were as one of them."
Rather, we must now stand with
and not against him in
the prophesied Jacob’s Time of Trouble
Note, "When the enemy comes in like a
flood the LORD Will raise up a Standard against him…from beyond the
rivers of Ethiopia, I my suppliants"
(Hebrew
Holy Scriptures - Isaiah
59:19 and Zephaniah 3:10)
In fact, some Black folks have mustered the
audaciousness to even encorage Israel’s destruction, even by supporting
terrorist organizations, wholly disregarding the warning that though
Israel may be in chastisement and/or calamity, the LORD GOD clearly
remains true to
HIS Promise to Abraham-Israel, “Whoever touches you,
touches the apple of MY Eye”
(+)
Also, all that is left of the Temple of
the LORD there in Jerusalem on Mt. Zion is the foundation leaving only
the Western Wall or Wailing Wall for Jews, Christians and the nations to
come commune with the GOD of all the Earth.
This may be a metaphor of what the LORD
says to ancient Israel concerning the condition of HIS House left in
ruins that they must repair it or the prosperity that they gain will
continue to be lost. (Haggai 1:2-12)
In
Spirit, the House of the
LORD Is HIS peoples in the Holy Land and abad who are in desperate
need of assistance during this their “Time of Jacobs-Israel’s) and the
period when the bones, sinews, flesh, skin, shake together into the
returned Israel who is about to breath full life (kiam), it is our duty
to be in the “wind” of GOD to support and welcome them in their home.
"From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia my suppliants
(intercessors, praisers and worshipers), even the daughter of MY
dispersed, shall bring my offering."
(Haggai 3:10)
