Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death
There is an interesting thing going on in the USA. The Democratic left is threatening to take away the gun rights of the citizens. In Virginia this situation is getting serious as the common people form militias to defend their constitutional right to bear arms.
The Second Amendment (Amendment II) to the United States Constitution protects the individual right to keep and bear arms.[1][2][a] It was ratified on December 15, 1791 as part of the Bill of Rights.
The amendment was ratified by the States and authenticated by Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson as:[40]
A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
Last Sabbath I began to think on this. Not the right to bear arms. No, I was thinking about just how passionate the Americans are for their Constitution.
The French and the Scottish also have a motto as do the Americans “Give me Liberty or give me death”.
In a very short while, the USA and the UK and all the Celtic nations will be reduced to just 10% of their former selves. In total, only about 50 Million will be left alive out of the approximately 550 Million today at the end of 2019.
If only they were as passionate about keeping Yehovah’s Torah! If only they were so zealous as to form militias to keep the Sabbaths and the Holy Days and the Sabbatical years! But they are not. They are zealous about manmade laws though.
When you get to your place of hiding during the coming tribulation, which code of conduct will you be enforcing?
The Code of Hammurabi is a well-preserved Babylonian code of law of ancient Mesopotamia, dated to about 1754 BC. It is one of the oldest deciphered writings of significant length in the world. The sixth Babylonian king, Hammurabi, enacted the code.
Perhaps the Magna Carta Libertatum which is Latin for “the Great Charter of the Liberties”, commonly called Magna Carta and is a charter of rights agreed to by King John of England at Runnymede, near Windsor, on 15 June 1215.
Now we are thinking about the American Constitution.
The Constitution of the United States is the supreme law of the United States of America.[2] The Constitution, originally comprising seven articles, delineates the national frame of government. Its first three articles embody the doctrine of the separation of powers, whereby the federal government is divided into three branches: the legislative, consisting of the bicameral Congress (Article One); the executive, consisting of the president (Article Two); and the judicial, consisting of the Supreme Court and other federal courts (Article Three). Articles Four, Five and Six embody concepts of federalism, describing the rights and responsibilities of state governments, the states in relationship to the federal government, and the shared process of constitutional amendment. Article Seven establishes the procedure subsequently used by the thirteen States to ratify it. It is regarded as the oldest written and codified national constitution in force.[3]
Since the Constitution came into force in 1789, it has been amended 27 times, including one amendment that repealed a previous one,[4] in order to meet the needs of a nation that has profoundly changed since the eighteenth century.[5] In general, the first ten amendments, known collectively as the Bill of Rights, offer specific protections of individual liberty and justice and place restrictions on the powers of government.[6][7] The majority of the seventeen later amendments expand individual civil rights protections. Others address issues related to federal authority or modify government processes and procedures. Amendments to the United States Constitution, unlike ones made to many constitutions worldwide, are appended to the document. All four pages[8] of the original U.S. Constitution are written on parchment.[9]
According to the United States Senate: “The Constitution’s first three words—We the People—affirm that the government of the United States exists to serve its citizens. For over two centuries the Constitution has remained in force because its framers wisely separated and balanced governmental powers to safeguard the interests of majority rule and minority rights, of liberty and equality, and of the federal and state governments.”[5] The first permanent constitution of its kind,[a] adopted by the people’s representatives for an expansive nation, it is interpreted, supplemented, and implemented by a large body of constitutional law, and has influenced the constitutions of other nations.
What about the Sharia Law that is soon going to be enforced around the world? WIll you fight for the rights it gives to the people? Oh yes, it is going to rule the world just as Yehovah has said it would and in your life time.
Our readership is around the world but the majority of them are from the USA. I am wondering what Yehovah thinks of all of these man made constitutions?
Isa 59:14 And justice is driven back, and justice stands afar off; for truth has fallen in the street, and right cannot enter.
Isa 59:15 Yea, truth fails; and he who departs from evil makes himself a prey. And Jehovah saw, and it displeased Him that there was no judgment.
Isa 59:16 And He saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor. Therefore His own arm brought salvation to Him; and His righteousness sustained Him.
Isa 59:17 For He put on righteousness like a breastplate, and a helmet of salvation on His head. And He put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and was covered with zeal like a cloak.
Isa 59:18 According to their deeds, accordingly He will repay; fury to His foes, deed for deed to His enemies. He will repay their deeds to the coastlands.
This verse just strikes me to the core as I watch the Australians flee to the water from the fires that chase them.
Isa 59:19 So they shall fear the name of Jehovah from the west, and His glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of Jehovah shall make him flee.
Isa 59:20 And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and to those who turn from transgression in Jacob, says Jehovah.
Isa 59:21 As for Me, this is My covenant with them, says Jehovah; My Spirit that is on you, and My Words which I have put in your mouth, shall not depart out of your mouth, nor out of the mouth of your seed, nor out of the mouth of your seed’s seed, says Jehovah, from now on and forever.
The Lord’s Day of Vengeance
Isa 63:1 Who is this who comes from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah, this One adorned in His clothing, bending down in His great power? I who speak in righteousness, great to save.
Isa 63:2 Why is Your clothing red, and Your garments like one who treads in the winepress?
Isa 63:3 I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the peoples there was no man with Me; for I will tread them in My anger and trample them in My fury; and their blood will be sprinkled on My garments, and I will stain all My clothing.
Isa 63:4 For the day of vengeance is in My heart, and the year of My redeemed has come.
Isa 63:5 And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was no one to uphold; therefore My own arm has saved for Me; and My fury upheld Me.
Isa 63:6 And I will tread down the people in My anger, and make them drunk in My fury, and I will pour their juice to the earth.
Eze 22:26 Her priests have broken My Law and have defiled My holy things. They have put no difference between the holy and the common, and have not taught between the unclean and the clean, and have hidden their eyes from My sabbaths, and I am defiled among them.
Eze 22:27 Her rulers in her midst are like wolves tearing the prey, to shed blood and to destroy souls, to get unjust gain.
Eze 22:28 And her prophets have daubed themselves withlime, seeing vanity and divining lies to them, saying, So says the Lord Jehovah; when Jehovah has not spoken.
Eze 22:29 The people of the land have used oppression and practiced robbery, and they have troubled the poor and needy. Yea, they have oppressed the stranger without right.
Eze 22:30 And I sought for a man among them who should wall up a wall for the land, and stand in the break before me, that I should not destroy it. But I did not find one.
Eze 22:31 Therefore I have poured out My fury on them. I have burned them up with the fire of My wrath. I have given their way on their heads, says the Lord Jehovah.
How Did We Get To This Mess?
In my very first year of this web site I shared the following News Letter. It was and is 5843-037 1136. It is from the year 2007 represented by the year 5843. It was the 37th newsletter that year and it had a readership of 1136 at that time.
In Newsletter 5843-006 I explain how the 76 years difference between the date I am claiming this year to be 2007-2008 (5843 years after the creation of Adam) and the year the Jewish community claims it to be, which is 5768 starting with the Feast of Trumpets in the fall. This happens as a result of four kings being removed from the list of Kings of Judah. This is why there are 76 years difference between the Jewish Calendar and our Calendar date.
To see if what I am saying is true or not just go to Matthew. Here is where you see the four Kings that are not mentioned. But you would not notice it just from reading Matthew. You have to know your history to understand that there are indeed four missing.
Mat 1:7 And Solomon fathered Rehoboam, and Rehoboam fathered Abijah, and Abijah fathered Asa.
Mat 1:8 And Asa fathered Jehoshaphat, and Jehoshaphat fathered Jehoram, and Jehoram fathered Uzziah.
Mat 1:9 And Uzziah fathered Jotham, and Jotham fathered Ahaz, and Ahaz fathered Hezekiah.
What I did not tell you was how these kings became so corrupt. It is in understanding this corruption that we are able to understand why Yehovah had Israel removed. It is also the clue needed to know who Israel became and where they went during that captivity that followed. It should also tell you just how corrupt we have now become again.
Like the frog in the pot of water we don’t even know how corrupted we have become, because we do not know how righteous the laws of Yehovah truly are.
We shall begin this series of studies by looking at what very few have looked at. The Statutes of Omri, and we shall then go on and look at what is written in the stones of History to show you exactly who is Israel and Who is Judah today and where they each went.
It is only when this is done that we will be able to discard one of the main planks in the Messianic teachings which is a false teaching. When this is not known dangerous and false teachings are brought in. What you don’t know can hurt you. So please read on and learn.
Please do not think I am attacking the Messianic movement. I am not. But just as I have shown in past News Letters, errors in other group’s teachings, I must now also, show one that some in the Messianic movement hold dear to them. If they ignore the truths we are about to learn in the next few studies it will get them killed. So yes this is important to know.
In 2 Kings 8:26 we read of Ahaziah that His mother’s name was Athaliah the granddaughter of Omri, king of Israel.
I showed you in News Letter 5843-006 how these four kings were so evil that they were removed from the list of descendants, in Mathew 1:8, of the Messiah. These four were of the line of Judah. But we are now talking of the kings of the line of Israel which is not Judah.
We know they are different because it says Judah and Israel warred against each other. It is important that you understand that Judah was one tribe of the nation of Israel. But Israel was never Jewish. The nation of Israel was made up of the other ten tribes. The northern ten tribes.
In 2 Kings 17, we read how Israel was removed from the land and why. It is important to read this, starting in 18
Therefore the Lord was very angry with Israel, and removed them from His sight; there was none left but the tribe of Judah alone. 19 Also Judah did not keep the commandments of the Lord their God, but walked in the statutes of Israel which they made.
Here we are told that even after Israel had been removed from the land, that Judah also walked in the same statutes of Israel. They did not learn. Notice that the statutes were of Israel and that Israel made them.
We need to learn what those statutes were that corrupted Israel and Judah. Trouble is, there is nothing or very little written of them.
I began my search with the bible commentators comments on the,
Statues Of Omri
http://bible.cc/micah/6-16.htm
Mic 6:16 For the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the works of the house of Ahab, and you walk in their counsels, so that I should make you a ruin and its people a hissing; therefore you shall bear the shame of My people.
(m) You have received all the corruption and idolatry with which the ten tribes were infected under Omri and Ahab his son: and to excuse your doings, you allege the King’s authority by his statutes, and also wisdom and policy in so doing, but you will not escape punishment. But as I have shown you great favour, and taken you for my people, so will your plagues be according as your sins; Lu 12:47.WES 6:16 The statutes – The idolatrous worship was set up by Omri in the royal city. Ye – O house of Israel. That I should make thee – This will be the event. Thereof – Of the land. The reproach – The reproach threatened in the law, if my people forsake me.
MHC 6:9-16 God, having showed how necessary it was that they should do justly, here shows how plain it was that they had done unjustly. This voice of the Lord says to all, Hear the rod when it is coming, before you see it, and feel it. Hear the rod when it is come, and you are sensible of the smart; hear what counsels, what cautions it speaks. The voice of God is to be heard in the rod of God. Those who are dishonest in their dealings shall never be reckoned pure, whatever shows of devotion they may make. What is got by fraud and oppression, cannot be kept or enjoyed with satisfaction. What we hold closest we commonly lose soonest. Sin is a root of bitterness, soon planted, but not soon plucked up again. Their being the people of God in name and profession, while they kept themselves in his love, was an honour to them; but now, being backsliders, their having been once the people of God turns to their reproach.
Many assume that the statutes of Omri were religious and against the teachings of Yehovah. This would be a false assumption in my opinion. They were the small end of the wedge that over time grows much larger. Being off course 1 degree at the start is not very much. But after while when someone checks, then they see just how far away from the true heading they have become.
The following article deals with the facts as we know them, concluding that it was false religions that the bible is talking about. The next article, after this one, I believe, is more closer to the truth of the matter. That the wisdom of the Torah was replaced by political manipulation and compromise. This is where Israel began to prostitute herself with other kingdoms, relying on them and not Yehovah for her protection and welfare. It strikes me that nothing has changed, and our current political arena is exactly the same as in the days of Omri. You will see why at the end of this series of studies.

om’-ri (`omri; Septuagint Ambri; Assyrian “Chumri” and “Chumria”):
(1) The 6th king of Northern Israel, and founder of the IIIrd Dynasty which reigned for nearly 50 years. Omri reigned 12 years, circa 887-876 BC. The historical sources of his reign are contained in 1 Kings 16:15-28; 20:34, the Moabite Stone, Assyrian inscriptions, and in the published accounts of recent excavations in Samaria. In spite of the brief passage given to Omri in the Old Testament, he was one of the most important of the military kings of Northern Israel.
1. His Accession:
Omri is first mentioned as an officer in the army of Elah, which was engaged in the siege of the Philistine town of Gibbethon. While Omri was thus engaged, Zimri, another officer of Elah’s army, conspired against the king, whom he assassinated in a drunken debauch, exterminating at the same time the remnant of the house of Baasha. The conspiracy evidently lacked the support of the people, for the report that Zimri had usurped the throne no sooner reached the army at Gibbethon, than the people proclaimed Omri, the more powerful military leader, king over Israel. Omri lost not a moment, but leaving Gibbethon in the hands of the Philistines, he marched to Tirzah, which he besieged and captured, while Zimri perished in the flames of the palace to which he had set fire with his own hands (1 Kings 16:18). Omri, however, had still another opponent in Tibni the son of Ginath, who laid claim to the throne and who was supported in his claims by his brother Joram (1 Kings 16:22 Septuagint) and by a large number of the people. Civil war-followed this rivalry for the throne, which seems to have lasted for a period of four years (compare 1 Kings 16:15, with 16:23 and 29) before Omri gained full control.
Omri’s military ability is seen from his choice of Samaria as the royal residence and capital of the Northern Kingdom. This step may have been suggested to Omri by his own easy conquest of Tirzah, the former capital. Accordingly, he purchased the hill Shomeron of Shemer for two talents of silver, about ,352.00 in American money. The conical hill, which rose from the surrounding plain to the height of 400 ft., and on the top of which there was room for a large city, was capable of easy defense.
2. The Founding of Samaria:
The superior strategic importance of Samaria is evidenced by the sieges it endured repeatedly by the Syrians and Assyrians. It was finally taken by Sargon in 722, after the siege had lasted for 3 years. That the Northern Kingdom endured as long as it did was due largely to the strength of its capital. With the fall of Samaria, the nation fell.
Recent excavations in Samaria under the direction of Harvard University throw new light upon the ancient capital of Israel. The first results were the uncovering of massive foundation walls of a large building, including a stairway 80 ft. wide. This building, which is Roman in architecture, is supposed to have been a temple, the work of Herod. Under this Roman building was recovered a part of a massive Hebrew structure, believed to be the palace of Omri and Ahab. During the year 1910 the explorations revealed a building covering 1 1/2 acres of ground. Four periods of construction were recognized, which, on archaeological grounds, were tentatively assigned to the reigns of Omri, Ahab, Jehu, and Jeroboam II. See SAMAIAS and articles by David G. Lyon in Harvard Theological Review, IV, 1911; JBL, V, xxx, Part I, 1911; PEFS, 1911, 79-83.
3. His Foreign Policy:
Concerning Omri’s foreign policy the Old Testament is silent beyond a single hint contained in 1 Kings 20:34. Here we learn that he had to bow before the stronger power of Syria. It is probable that Ben-hadad I besieged Samaria shortly after it was built, for he forced Omri to make “streets” in the city for the Syrians. It is probable, too, that at this time Ramoth-gilead was lost to the Syrians. Evidently Omri, was weakened in his foreign policy at the beginning of his reign by the civil conflict engendered by his accession. However, he showed strength of character in his dealings with foreign powers. At least he regained control over the northern part of Moab, as we learn from the Moabite Stone. Lines 4-8 tell us that “Omri was king of Israel and afflicted Moab many days because Chemosh was angry with his land. …. Omri obtained possession of the land of Medeba and dwelt therein during his days and half the days of his son, forty years. ”
Omri was the first king of Israel to pay tribute to the Assyrians under their king Asurnacirpal III, in 876 BC. From the days of Shalmaneser II (860 BC) down to the time of Sargon (722 BC), Northern Israel was known to the Assyrians as “the land of the house of Omri.” On Shalmaneser’s black obelisk, Jehu, who overthrew the dynasty of Omri, is called Ja’uaabal Chumri, “Jehu son of Omri.”
Omri entered into an alliance with the Phoenicians by the marriage of his son Ahab to Jezebel, daughter of Ethbaal, king of the Sidonians. This may have been done as protection against the powers from the East, and as such would have seemed to be a wise political move, but it was one fraught with evil for Israel.
4. His Religious Influence and Death:
Although Omri laid the foundation of a strong kingdom, he failed to impart to it the vitalizing and rejuvenating force of a healthy spiritual religion. The testimony of 1 Kings 16:25,26, that he “dealt wickedly above all that were before him,” coupled with the reference to “the statutes of Omri” in Micah 6:16, indicates that he may have had a share in substituting foreign religions for the worship of Yahweh, and therefore the unfavorable light in which he is regarded is justified. Upon his death, Omri was succeeded upon the throne by his son Ahab, to whom was left the task of shaking off the Syrian yoke, and who went beyond his father in making the Phoenician influence along with Baalism of prime importance in Israel, thus leading the nation into the paths that hastened its downfall.
I have placed this chart in here so you can see exactly who King Omri was. Let me explain about the missing 76 years here so you can see the points I am making. This is taken from our article on the missing 76 yeasr.
What was it that these kings did to anger Yehovah so? We can read in Duet. 29:20 where Yehovah threatened to blot out the names of those who served other gods.
Deu 29:20 Jehovah will not be willing to forgive him, but then the anger of Jehovah and His jealousy shall smoke against that man, and all the curses that are written in this book shall lie on him, and Jehovah shall blot out his name from under heavens.
And in Exodus 20:5 it says
Exo 20:5 You shall not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them. For I Jehovah your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the sons to the third and fourth generation of those that hate me,
What wicked King could this be?
2Ch 24:7 For the sons of Athaliah, that wicked woman, have broken up the house of God. And also all the dedicated things of the house of Jehovah they have given to Baals.
Because of this blasphemy, the city of Libnah revolted against Joram (2 Kings 8:22).
2Ki 8:21 And Jehoram went over to Zair, and all the chariots with him. And he rose by night and struck the Edomites who were all around him, and the commanders of the chariots. And the people fled into their tents.
2Ki 8:22 Yet Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah to this day. Then Libnah revolted at the same time.
2Ki 8:23 And the rest of the acts of Jehoram, and all that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Matter of the Days of the Kings of Judah?
Libnah was one of the cities of the Aaronic Preists (Joshua 21:13). Obviously they objected violently to Joram’s desecration of Solomon’s temple. For Joram’s blasphemy, Yehovah judged not only his wife Athaliah, but his son Ahaziah, and grandson Jehoash, and great-grandson Amaziah.
2 Kings 8: 24 So Joram rested with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the City of David. Then Ahaziah his son reigned in his place. 25 In the twelfth year of Joram the son of Ahab, king of Israel, Ahaziah the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, began to reign. 26 Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Athaliah the granddaughter of Omri, king of Israel. 27 And he walked in the way of the house of Ahab, and did evil in the sight of the Lord, like the house of Ahab, for he was the son-in-law of the house of Ahab.
Look at the chart above. Ahab is the Israelite King and son of Omri. Athaliah was the Grand Daughter of Omri and the mother of Ahaziah, and grandson Jehoash, and great-grandson Amaziah.
2 Kings 11: 1 When Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the royal heirs. 2 But Jehosheba, the daughter of King Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him away from among the king’s sons who were being murdered; and they hid him and his nurse in the bedroom, from Athaliah, so that he was not killed. 3 So he was hidden with her in the house of the Lord for six years, while Athaliah reigned over the land.
This is one evil woman who is now murdering her own children and others so that she can be Queen over Judah. We then read about her death in vers 20.
2 KIngs 11:20 So all the people of the land rejoiced; and the city was quiet, for they had slain Athaliah with the sword in the king’s house. 21 Jehoash was seven years old when he became king.
2 Kings 12: 1 In the seventh year of Jehu, Jehoash* became king, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem.
2 Kings 14: 1 In the second year of Joash the son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel, Amaziah the son of Joash, king of Judah, became king. 2 He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. 19 And they formed a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem, and he fled to Lachish; but they sent after him to Lachish and killed him there. 20 Then they brought him on horses, and he was buried at Jerusalem with his fathers in the City of David. 21 And all the people of Judah took Azariah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king instead of his father Amaziah.
This Azariah was also called Uzziah in 2 Kings 15:13 and is the Ozias of Mathew 1:8.
We have now shown where the 76 year went missing.
Keep in mind we are looking at King Omri and his legacy and the statutes he created.
The next study I have found compares the days of Omri with today’s politicians. Although I found the article most insightful at explaining what Omri did I don’t agree with the political perspective the author puts forward, but I include the article in its entirety.
Omri The Merger King by Wilfred Hann
Please now read this great article at this link.
Brethren did you see what we just read taking place on the very news right now. Does Omri and Ahab not sound like Donald Trumps policies for the USA? Has not the Church leaders all surrounded him in a bid for prestige and enfluence in future policy? And I too like President Trump and the things he has done.
Do not forget that in the last day that Elijah must first come.
Mal 4:5 Behold, I am sending you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of Jehovah.
Mal 4:6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the sons, and the heart of the sons to their fathers, that I not come and strike the earth with utter destruction.
How does Elijah do this. He teaches the people the Sabbath, the Holy Days of Lev 23 and the Sabbatical and Jubilee years. When the people start to keep these things they are turning towards the Father. And the heart of our Father will be turned to us when we obey.
Do not forget what Athaliah did in the days of Elijah. A new Athaliah will also come and kill all the prophets of Yehovah except Elijah. The martydom of the Saints is coming. Is this Athaliah going to be the great whore of Babylon? We wait and watch.
Let me now quote to you from Rev Wm. Pascoe Goard in his book The Post Captivity names of Israel.
King Omri was to Israel what the great lawgivers were to Greece and to Rome. What Malmutius was to the ancient Britons: and what Alfred the Great- the great Saxon Law giver_ was to the Saxons; and what Henry VII and Elizabeth were to the modern British world as statute makers and reformers, that and more King Omri was to Israel. They all codified existing law. Omri invented the system of Statutes making and established it in Israel. From that has come the legislative system of Democracy.
The Indictment of the Lord
Mic 6:1 Hear now what Jehovah says: Arise, contend with the mountains and let the hills hear your voice.
Mic 6:2 Mountains, hear Jehovah’s case, and the constant foundations of the earth. For Jehovah has a quarrel with His people, and He will plead His case with Israel.
Mic 6:3 O My people, what have I done to you? And in what have I made you weary? Testify against Me!
Mic 6:4 For I brought you up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of slaves; and I sent Moses, Aaron, and Miriam before you.
Mic 6:5 O My people, remember now what Balak king of Moab planned, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him from Shittim to Gilgal, so that you may know the righteous acts of Jehovah.
What Does the Lord Require?
Mic 6:6 With what shall I come before Jehovah, to bow myself before God the Most High? Shall I come before Him with burnt offerings, with calves of a year old?
Mic 6:7 Will Jehovah be pleased with thousands of rams, with ten thousands of rivers of oil? Shall I give my first-born for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
Mic 6:8 He has shown you, O man, what is good. And what does Jehovah require of you but to do justice and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God?
Destruction of the Wicked
Mic 6:9 Jehovah’s voice cries to the city, and in sound wisdom one will see Your name. Hear the rod and Him who has appointed it.
Mic 6:10 Are the treasures of wickedness still in the house of the wicked, and the short measure that is hateful?
Mic 6:11 Shall I count those with the wicked scales pure, and those with the bag of deceitful weights?
Mic 6:12 For its rich men are full of violence, and its people have spoken lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.
Mic 6:13 Therefore I also have made you sick by striking you, laying you waste because of your sins.
Mic 6:14 You shall eat, but not be satisfied; and your casting down shall be in your midst. And you shall take hold, but shall not deliver; and that which you deliver I will give up to the sword.
Mic 6:15 You shall sow, but you shall not reap; you shall tread the olives, but you shall not anoint yourself with oil; and sweet wine, but shall not drink wine.
Mic 6:16 For the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the works of the house of Ahab, and you walk in their counsels, so that I should make you a ruin and its people a hissing; therefore you shall bear the shame of My people.
Seek the Lord and Live
Amo 5:1 Hear this Word which I take up against you, a dirge, O house of Israel.
Amo 5:2 The virgin of Israel has fallen; she shall rise no more; she lies forsaken on her land. There is none to raise her up.
Amo 5:3 For thus says the Lord Jehovah: The city that went out by a thousand shall leave a hundred, and that which went out by a hundred shall have ten left in the house of Israel.
Amo 5:4 For so says Jehovah to the house of Israel: Seek Me, and you shall live.
Amo 5:5 But do not seek Bethel nor enter into Gilgal, and do not pass to Beer-sheba; for Gilgal shall surely go into exile, and Bethel shall come to nothing.
Amo 5:6 Seek Jehovah, and you shall live; lest He break out like a fire on the house of Joseph and devour it, and there be none to put it out in Bethel.
Amo 5:7 You who turn judgment to wormwood and leave off righteousness in the earth,
Amo 5:8 seek Him who created the Pleiades and Orion, and who turned the deep darkness into the morning and He darkened the day into night. Seek Him who calls for the waters of the sea, and pours them out on the face of the earth; Jehovah is His name;
Amo 5:9 who causes destruction to flash out against the strong, and destruction comes against the fortress.
Amo 5:10 They hate him who rebukes in the gate, and they despise him who speaks uprightly.
Amo 5:11 So, because of your trampling on the poor, and you take tribute of grain from him; you have built houses of carved stone, but you shall not dwell in them; you have planted desirable vineyards, but you shall not drink wine from them.
Amo 5:12 For I know your many transgressions and your many sins. They afflict the just, they take a bribe, and they turn aside the poor in the gate.
Amo 5:13 So the understanding ones shall keep silent in that time; for it is an evil time.
Amo 5:14 Seek good and not evil, that you may live; and so Jehovah, the God of Hosts, shall be with you, as you have spoken.
Amo 5:15 Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate. It may be that the Lord Jehovah of Hosts will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.
Amo 5:16 So Jehovah, the God of Hosts, the Master, says this: Wailing shall be in all streets; and they shall say in all the highways, Alas! Alas! And they shall call the tiller to mourning, and those who are skillful in mourning to wailing.
Amo 5:17 And there shall be wailing in all vineyards; for I will pass through you, says Jehovah.
Let Justice Roll Down
Amo 5:18 Woe to those desiring the day of Jehovah! What isthis for you? The day of Jehovah is darkness and not light;
Amo 5:19 as if a man fled from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house and leaned his hand on the wall, and a snake bit him.
Amo 5:20 Shall not the day of Jehovah be darkness and not light? Even very dark, and no brightness in it?
Amo 5:21 I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not delight in your solemn assemblies.
Amo 5:22 Though you offer Me burnt offerings and your food offerings, I will not be pleased. Nor will I regard the peace offerings of your fat animals.
Amo 5:23 Take the noise of your songs away from Me; for I will not hear the melody of your stringed instruments.
Amo 5:24 But let judgment roll down like waters, and righteousness like a mighty stream.
Amo 5:25 Have you offered sacrifices and offerings to Me forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?
Amo 5:26 But you have carried the booth of your king and Kiyyun, your images, the star of your gods which you made for yourselves.
Amo 5:27 So I will cause you to go into exile beyond Damascus, says Jehovah, the God of Hosts is His name.
I want to wrap this up before I move on. And it will upset some of you.
The Statutes of Omri was the constitution of Israel at that time. It is what they began to live by. They had good meaning behind the laws. The same as the Talmud does in explaining the Torah. All of these statutes eventually lead people away from the truth. Over time the constitution gets twisted by certain people in the very same way both the Democrats and the Republicans twist the American constitution for their own gain.
Mic 6:16 For the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the works of the house of Ahab, and you walk in their counsels, so that I should make you a ruin and its people a hissing; therefore you shall bear the shame of My people.
When we flee and are together in what ever place we are in, it will not be the American consitution that rules us. Nor any other set of statutes devised by man. It will be Yehovah’s Torah and it alone. Each person must learn it and then practice it in their own house and then on the streets as they walk.
President To Launch ‘Evangelicals For Trump’ Coalition
When I was sent this article I saw the Christain groups falling in line behind President Trump for his support and unfunding of Planned Parenthood. He is stopping the deaths of many more babies. And this is good. But if he is assassinated this year of 2020 by the left from within the USA or the liberal left outside the USA, then the lines are drawn between the two factions. The LGBT liberal left-leaning pro-abortionists, anti-gun lobbyists ANTIFA groups and those in favour of open borders and asylum cites will fight against the conservative pro-life 2nd amendment Christian right and they will be chased down and killed by Athaliah. Into this frey will come the German-led EU under the guise of NATO to help. Islamic enclaves will develope and grow. Chaos will be everywhere.

Key to Northwest European Origins
We shall look at other not so well known facts about our history in upcoming News Letters. This study has shown you that those of us from England or Northwestern Europe of Anglo Saxon or Celtic descent are in fact from the supposedly lost Ten Tribes of Israel. But wait, I have more to come. So do not be convinced by just one piece of evidence.
