The Holy Bible Is The Immutable Living Word Of The Eternal God
The Only Bible we Recommend Is The King James /
A.V. Bible.
Here's the reason, shocking but enlightening truth:
Leviticus 26:17
And
I will set my face against you, and ye shall be slain before
your enemies:they that hate you shall reign over you;
and
ye shall flee when none pursueth you.
Ezekiel 20:26 …… that
I might make them desolate,
to the end
that they might know that I am the LORD.
A Message From Peter
James
Treatment of Strangers In Our Countries
In the bible there are many very precise instructions
regarding how we should treat, what it refers to as strangers in our midst.
This might seem as a trivial matter, but it is not.
It is a very serious problem with the most unexpected
and tragic consequences.
We are in the very sad situation that we are unaware
how to treat our own.
If we despise our own how are we going to know how to
treat strangers?
Of course the answer is we cannot have any idea how
to treat them.
First of all I refer you to our document Israel,
Judah, Britain and America,
When I say the house of Israel, I mean the 12 tribe
house of Israel,
which includes the Jews and the English Speaking
people, plus other European nations.
We have to remember that the house of Israel had been
strangers in the land of Egypt for some 430 years. In the latter part of this
time they suffered terribly with harsh enforced labour. According to the Book
of Jasher, which is available here: Jasher,
if the number of bricks that had to be laid in a day
were not laid,
those at fault were not only beaten, but their
children were cemented into the spaces to make up for the missing bricks. This
was just a small part of the situation that existed.
It was in this environment that the Eternal God heard
the cries of the people, and He sent Moses to deliver the people from the
tyranny of Pharoah.
It was at the burning bush incident that the Eternal
God gave Moses the command to bring the people out of Egypt.
Exodus 3:7 ¶ And the LORD said, I have surely seen the
affliction of my
people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry
by reason of their
taskmasters; for I know their sorrows;
8 And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the
Egyptians,
and
to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large,
unto
a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the
Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the
Jebusites.
9 Now therefore, behold, the cry of the
children of Israel is come unto me: and I
have also seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them.
10 Come now therefore, and I will send thee
unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out
of Egypt.
11 ¶ And Moses said unto God, Who am I, that I should go unto
Pharaoh,
and
that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?
This
is very important background information for some of the statements we will see
in this message.
Leviticus 19:34 But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto
you as one born among you,
and thou shalt love him as thyself;
for ye were
strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD
your God.
The
Eternal God tells the house of Israel to remember that they were strangers, who
had suffered severely in Egypt. Of course they promptly have forgotten.
Now
we see that not only is the house of Israel rebellious, but they do not love
themselves, therefore they have no idea how to love anyone else much less the
stranger in their midst.
Deuteronomy 10:19
Love ye
therefore the stranger:
for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
We then see that according to the word of God, that many
of the practices which take place today are an abomination, and outright sin.
We are told that there must be one law for the
Israelite, and the exact same law for the stranger who lives in our midst.
Often when I speak about obeying the commandments,
many latch on to the ten commandments as if those are the only commandments in
the bible.
In any case it is worth mentioning that we tend not
keep these, however, the reality is that we have to obey ALL the commands of
the Eternal God, not only which are in
the Old and New Testament, but those that He might personally give to us.
Regardless of the perverse laws of the land for
example, rape is still rape, and a gross sin, with consequences, regardless of
what we might think, and how trivial mainly men will treat it.
Any commandment from the Eternal
God is very important, and to disobey is to sin. There will always be negative
consequences for sin, which cannot be escaped. Even if you are forgiven because
you repent, it is most likely that the repercussions from the sin remains.
This can easily affect our physical and mental
health.
See: Obedience.
Here are some of the direct commands from the Eternal
Exodus 12:49 One law shall be
to him that is homeborn,
and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you.
No
mention here about racial profiling.
No
mention here about stop and search because of race, colour or dress.
No
mention here about physical appearance.
No
mention here about sexism and ageism.
We
think it absolutely nothing to torture, imprison and kill the stranger
in
our “War on Terror”.
The
governments tell us that it is acceptable to lie, to torture, and to kill.
When
we go to war in other countries, we call those people insurgents,
and
terrorists.
These
strangers most times are not military personnel, but ordinary citizens, which
include many women and children, and often in the country of their birth.
This
happens all over the world, not only in the Middle East.
You
will see this in the Congo, which is a horrific catastrophy.
In
fact we have lying and killings down to a fine art.
We
lie and then we kill.
This
is the classic strategy of Satan who is a liar and a murderer.
John 8:44 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.
Please
be aware this is not simply poetic language but a statement of fact.
It
does not matter if you run into a church every Sunday, and wave a bible around.
The
truth is that if you lie and kill, you are not a follower of Christ period.
You
can see from this statement that many of our leaders in politics, religion,
business, and entertainment are actually Satanists. That is what that verse
says.
If
your father is Satan then you are a Satanist, regardless of your title or your
position.
Does your President, Prime Minister, Pastor, or leader tell
lies ?
Now you know who is running your country.
Are
you now beginning to understand what is happening in your country?
Now
you can see why nothing makes sense anymore.
That
is why justice is a far distant faded memory.
By
our deeds we clearly show that we are Satan’s children.
Here
is what we are commanded to do.
Exodus 22:21 Thou shalt neither
vex a stranger, nor oppress him:
for
ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
Exodus 23:9 Also thou shalt not oppress a stranger:
for ye know the heart
of
a stranger, seeing ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
Deuteronomy 24:17 Thou shalt not pervert the judgment of the stranger,
nor
of the fatherless; nor take a widow’s raiment to pledge:
We
have not stopped to consider that exactly as we treat strangers,
is
exactly how we will be treated when we are once again strangers in
a
foreign land.
Think
of our Presidents, Prime Ministers, and the members of your government.
How
do you think that they are going to bare up when it is their turn
to
suffer horribly at the hands of others?
I
am fully aware that most leaders think that it will never happen to them,
indeed they feel that it cannot happen to them.
They
can even be so deceived that they believe that they have taken the necessary
steps to protect themselves. Somehow they believe that not only they will
escape, but they certainly will not be punished.
Wrong, Wrong, Wrong.
Ezekiel 11:21 But as for them whose heart walketh after the heart of
their
detestable
things and their abominations, I will recompense their
way upon their own heads, saith the Lord GOD.
Similarly
most young people, and teenagers also think that they are some how invincible,
and will not die. In time they will learn that death is inevitable.
Galatians 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man
soweth, that shall he also reap.
I
do hope that the monitors of the Internet read my messages.
I
do hope that my messages end up on the desks of the leaders,
as
someone has to warn them.
The
churches, who should be doing this certainly are not doing so.
In
fact most are encouraging our leaders to go down the wrong path to destruction.
We cannot expect any better as they are lost themselves.
Ezekiel 33:7 So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a
watchman unto the
house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word
at my mouth,
and warn them from me.
8 When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely
die;
if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way,
that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require
at thine hand.
9 Nevertheless, if thou warn the
wicked of his way to turn from it;
if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his
iniquity;
but thou hast delivered thy soul.
A
Multi cultural society where we accept the religions of others,
and
political correctness is going to be our undoing.
I
make this statement, as a member of a minority group, therefore
I
cannot be accused of being prejudiced.
Many
Christians believe that a multi cultural society with political correctness, where
we allow all people, who become resident in our country are free to practice their
religion, whatever that might be, is the right course of action.
We
are told that we should be tolerant of the beliefs of others,
that
should be the Christian attitude.
In
fact this is one of the goals of those hoping to implement a ‘New World Order’.
Under this system every sort of perversion is acceptable, and cannot be
condemned.
That
is why someone who steals a large sum of money can get a very long prison
sentence, and someone who rapes another, can get a minimal sentence if any.
At
present in Germany, if a woman is getting unemployment benefit, and she is
unable to get work for a year, she then has to take any job which she is
offered, otherwise she will lose her social benefits.
The
jobs which she is obliged to take include prostitution.
As
we stated above we are clearly told to love the stranger in our midst
as
ourselves. Absolutely nowhere are we told that those who take up residency in
our country should practice their religious beliefs without any constraints at
all.
Neither
are we told that we should force our beliefs on anyone else,
and
we certainly should not be aiming to kill those, whose beliefs are different as
the Roman Catholic Church, the False Jews, and Muslims have done many times.
The
prophet Jeremiah was told that the nations, which means those not
of
the house of Israel, do not go around changing their gods for the God
of
Israel.
They
simply do not do this.
In fact the opposite is the case, if you go to some countries, and try
to convert their nationals to Christianity you can easily find yourself in prison and even sentenced to death. In the house of Israel, however, we let people carry out whatever religion they desire, however, in the nation of Israel
in Palestine, where the Talmud
is of
supreme importance, Christ and Christianity are regarded
as
an abominations.
In the Talmud those who possess books called the Gospels are
heretics. Schabbath (116a)
The Talmud teaches
that Jesus Christ was illegitimate and was
conceived during
menstruation; that he had the soul of Esau;
that he was a fool, a conjurer, a seducer; that he was crucified, buried
in hell and set up as an idol ever since
by his followers.
It is also worth noting that Christians are regarded
as Amalekites and, like them, they should be wiped out.
Jeremiah 2:11 Hath a nation
changed their gods, which are yet no gods?
but my people have changed their glory
for that which doth not profit.
I
have heard Hindus on BBC radio who sound more like Christian ministers,
than
Christian ministers. It is a dreadful shame. It is all part of the goal
to
have a common worldwide religion. They speak of the ‘lord’, we then think that
mean Christ.
How
could it? They are Hindus.
Unfortunately
we have a serious, and even insoluble dilemma, and we will pay the penalty for
our rebellion.
Consider
the following scenario.
There
is a very well educated professional dentist from the far East,
who
wants to come and live in the UK. He has heard that there
is
a desperate shortage of dentists.
He
wanted to do everything absolutely correctly. He knew the English language, but
he invested his time wisely, so he learnt to speak and write fluently.
He
had learnt English grammar, about which most have no clue.
He
knew that the bible was the basic book of the religious community.
He
read it very carefully, and decided that he was going to do as it said.
He
was going to give his Hindu religion, and become a Christian.
He
had absolutely no difficulty getting residency in the U.K.,
as
he was at the top of his profession.
Having
settled in, he earnestly sort to become a Christian.
He
was surprised to see that he could join the very same religions he had just
left.
There
were Hindu temples all over the place.
He
found he could get a degree of witchcraft from the university.
As
he was a persistent person he started visiting the various churches.
Week
by week his dismay only increased.
He
found that everywhere he visited, there were meetings that had very little to
do with the God, whom he had read about in the bible.
What
he was seeing was the very same witchcraft that he had carefully avoided in his
own country.
Even
worse he found that there was no official place that he could
go
to get information that would enable him to carry out what he clearly saw the
bible required.
He
had come face to face with confusion, Babylon.
He
found that the morals, and ethics which he had known, and practiced were
superior to that which he was experiencing. He was seeing mere children having
babies. He was constantly reading of burglaries, drunkenness, immorality and
violence.
It
appeared to him that he was swimming in a cesspit of sex, violence and
immorality.
Hopefully
our stranger learnt that he did not need to attend a church, which had lost its
way, in order to have a close personal relationship with the Eternal God.
The
laws which originally governed the land of Israel, applied to all areas
of
living. The stranger was supposed to do exactly as the natives did.
We should be telling the stranger,
this is the way walk in it.
The
stranger would then be blessed, as we are being blessed
The truth is we do not know the way ourselves,
therefore how can we tell anyone else the way?
The Weekly Sabbath
Exodus 23:12 Six days thou shalt do thy work, and on the seventh day thou shalt
rest: that thine ox and thine ass may rest, and the son of thy handmaid, and the stranger, may be refreshed.
We
see that the stranger was obliged to obey the commandments of the Eternal God.
It
was not a matter of choice.
Exodus 20:10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of
the LORD thy God:
in
it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy
daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
The Passover.
Numbers 9:14 And if
a stranger shall sojourn among you, and will keep the passover unto
the LORD; according to the ordinance of the passover, and according to the manner
thereof, so shall he do: ye shall have one
ordinance, both for the stranger, and for him that was born in the
land.
Eating Blood
Leviticus 17:12 Therefore I said unto the children of
Israel,
No soul of you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger
that
sojourneth among you eat blood.
How
are we going to do that when we do that ourselves?
The Land Sabbath
Leviticus 25:6 And the
sabbath of the land shall be meat for you; for thee,
and
for thy servant, and for thy maid, and for thy hired servant,
and for thy stranger that sojourneth with thee,
Righteous Judgment
Deuteronomy 1:16 And I charged your judges at that time,
saying,
Hear
the causes between your brethren, and judge
righteously between every man and his brother, and the stranger that is with him.
Unrighteous Judgment results in curses.
Deuteronomy 27:19 Cursed be he that perverteth
the judgment of the stranger, fatherless, and widow. And all
the people shall say, Amen.
The Day Of Atonement
Leviticus 16:29 And
this shall be a statute for ever unto you: that in the seventh
month, on the tenth day of the month, ye
shall afflict your souls, and do no work at all, whether
it be one of your own country, or a stranger
that sojourneth among you:
The Feast Of Tabernacles
Deuteronomy 16:13 Thou shalt observe the feast of tabernacles
seven days, after that thou hast gathered in thy corn and thy wine:
14 And thou shalt
rejoice in thy feast, thou, and
thy son, and thy daughter,
and
thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite, the
stranger,
and
the fatherless, and the widow, that are within thy gates.
15 Seven days shalt thou keep a solemn feast unto the LORD thy God
in
the place which the LORD shall choose: because the LORD thy God shall bless
thee in all thine increase, and in all the works of thine hands, therefore thou
shalt surely rejoice.
Once
again the majority of Christians have no clue whatsoever about any
of
the festivals mentioned.
They
are unaware that they will all be observed when Christ returns.
See:
Isaiah Chapter 66, and Zechariah Chapter 14.
I
am not saying that today we should kill those who blaspheme,
however,
you can see the seriousness of this sin as the native and the stranger were to
be killed. Today blasphemy is normal and acceptable.
It
is even considered natural, and it is used in comedy!
Blasphemy
Leviticus 24:16 And he
that blasphemeth the name of the LORD,
he
shall surely be put to death, and all the congregation shall certainly
stone him: as well the stranger,
as he that is born in the land,
when
he blasphemeth the name of the LORD, shall be put to death.
Solomon prayed that the prayer of the stranger to the
Eternal God would be heard.
2 Chronicles 6:32 Moreover concerning the stranger, which is
not of thy people Israel, but is come from a far country for thy great name’s
sake, and thy mighty hand, and thy stretched out arm; if they come and pray in
this house;
33 Then hear
thou from the heavens, even from thy dwelling
place,
and
do according to all that the stranger calleth to
thee for; that all people of the earth may know thy name, and fear
thee, as doth thy people Israel, and may know that this house which I
have built is called by thy name.
Leviticus 18 gives many details of sins which
should not be committed either by the house of Israel nor by the strangers in
their midst.
Sadly
it seems that the strangers in our midst seem to be far more moral that we are.
This is a small sample.
Leviticus 18:22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind:
it
is abomination.
23 Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith:
neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is
confusion.
24 Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these
the nations are defiled which I cast out before you:
25 And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof
upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her
inhabitants.
26 Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall
not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own
nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you:
Verse 25 states that if we, and the strangers in our midst
disobey,
the land will vomit us out.
The stranger was prohibited from becoming part of the priesthood, as this was the specific duty of the Levites. There are evangelists in South America and Africa, who have come here because they feel that the UK is in need of religious direction.
Sincere
though they are, I know of none that mentions
what I have mentioned above.
The reason is the very same that none of the local
people mention it.
They believe and teach that the Old Testament is no
longer relevant today.
We have seen one repercussion for rebellion and that
is the land will vomit us, and the strangers out, but that is only one
consequence.
The guilty will be destroyed.
Leviticus 18:29 For whosoever shall commit any of these
abominations,
even
the souls that commit them shall be cut off
from among their people.
30 Therefore shall ye keep mine ordinance, that ye
commit not any one of these abominable customs, which were committed
before you, and that ye defile not yourselves therein:
I am the LORD your God.
We
should notice that the punishment for the natives of the house of Israel and
the stranger within, was exactly the same.
Having
allowed the stranger in, and rebelled against the word of the Lord,
what
will happen?
The
stranger will prosper and we will be diminished.
Deuteronomy 28:43 The stranger that
is within thee shall get up above thee very high; and
thou shalt come down very low.
44 He shall lend to thee,
and thou shalt not lend to him: he shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail.
You
need to ask yourselves who owns the banks in your country?
Who
owns the critical life dependent resources, such as water and utilities,
such
as gas and electricity, the banks etc. etc.
In
the U.K. many small supermarkets, small Post Offices, and Newsagents are owned by
industrious Indians.
We
were also told that we should not charge those of the household of Israel
Interest on loans.
This
could only be charged to the strangers.
It
was not a must. It was something that we might do.
Deuteronomy 23:20 Unto a stranger
thou mayest lend upon usury;
but
unto thy brother thou shalt not lend upon usury: that the LORD thy God may
bless thee in all that thou settest thine hand to in the land whither thou
goest to possess it.
What
has happened now is that everyone without exception incurs crippling interest
charges, that are managing to destroy us, and give us all many sleepless
nights. As we mentioned in our previous document, there is an objective, and it
is our destruction.
Ezekiel 20:25 Wherefore I gave them also
statutes that were not good,
and
judgments whereby they should not live;
That
means that the statutes and judgments will ultimately kill us.
There
is now fear about the hundreds of thousands of Eastern Europe which will
descend, and overwhelm the United kingdom. These figures make ‘black
immigration’ appear miniscule.
Deuteronomy 28:32 Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given unto another
people, and thine eyes shall look, and fail with longing for them all
the day long: and there shall be no might in thine hand.
33 The fruit of thy land, and all thy labours, shall a nation which thou knowest not eat up; and thou shalt be only
oppressed and crushed alway:
34 So that thou shalt be mad for the sight of
thine eyes which thou shalt see.
Joshua 23:15 Therefore it shall come to pass, that
as all good things are come upon you, which the LORD your God promised you; so shall the LORD bring upon you all evil things, until he
have destroyed you from off this good land which the
LORD your God hath given you.
The
ultimate punishment is that once again the house of Israel will themselves
become strangers, under a very severe yoke of bondage.
Ezekiel 11:9 And
I will bring you out of the midst
thereof, and deliver you into the hands of
strangers, and will execute judgments among you.
The
wheel seems to keep turning continuously, rebellion, slavery and captivity.
When
will we learn?
Leviticus 26:38 And ye shall perish among the heathen,
and the land of your enemies shall eat you up.
39 And they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in
your enemies’ lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they
pine away with them.
40 ¶ If they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their
fathers,
with
their trespass which they trespassed against me, and that also they have walked
contrary unto me;
41 And that I also have walked contrary unto them, and have
brought them into the land of their enemies; if then their uncircumcised hearts
be humbled, and they then accept of the punishment of their iniquity:
42 Then will I remember my covenant with Jacob,
and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I
remember; and I will remember the land.
43 The land also shall be left of them, and shall enjoy her sabbaths,
while she lieth desolate without them: and they shall accept of the punishment
of their iniquity: because, even because they despised my judgments, and
because their soul abhorred my statutes.
There is one bit of hope and that is we are told that
we will not be utterly destroyed. The sad thing is that it does not need to be
this way at all.
Leviticus 26:44 And yet for all that, when they be in the land of their enemies, I
will not cast them away, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and
to break my covenant with them: for I am the LORD their God.
In
the New Testament, we are told that even widows were supposed
to
consider the welfare of the stranger.
1 Timothy 5:10 Well reported of for good works; if she have brought
up
children, if she have lodged strangers,
if she have washed the saints’ feet, if she have relieved the afflicted, if she
have diligently followed every good work.
Once again we see that we should treat brethren and
strangers the same.
3 John 1:5 Beloved, thou doest faithfully whatsoever thou doest to the brethren, and to strangers;
We can see that strangers are an important way of
life.
Many pictures of ‘angels’, give us the impression
that they always have huge white wings on their backs. The reality is that this
is not the case at all.
They often appear as normal people.
Hebrews 13:2 Be not forgetful to entertain strangers:
for
thereby some have entertained angels unawares.
We
can also see that Christ took this a stage further by saying when you did
things for His people, in whom He dwelt, you were doing them to Him personally.
It is clear that these righteous ones had no clue that they were being counted as
righteous because of what they did for strangers, who were not ordinary
strangers at all.
Matthew 25:43 I was a stranger,
and ye took me not in:
naked,
and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
Matthew 25:44 Then shall they also answer him, saying,
Lord,
when
saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick,
or
in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
Many
Christians are caught up in the materialism in the world.
We
would be very wise to remember that we are actually only pilgrims and strangers
on the earth at this time.
Hebrews 11:13 These all died in faith, not having received
the promises,
but
having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them,
and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims
on the earth.
Finally
the good news is that genuine believers, and followers of Christ, are no longer
strangers but part of the household of
God.
Ephesians 2:19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers
and foreigners,
but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of
God;
The only way out of our dilemmas is Jesus
Christ.
He is the only way of escape.
Praise the Lord.
Come soon Lord Jesus.
Amen.
