Erma Evans, a widow in the Church of God, served as a perfect example of what the apostle Paul called for from our senior women (Titus 2:3).
She touched the lives of many and was affectionately called "Mama Evans" by the young fellows of the Worldwide Church of God in Toledo, Ohio: Church singles whom she graciously would have over for a home-cooked meal every month.
Mrs. Evans knew all about southern hospitality since she was originally from Mud Creek, Kentucky. She would offer the meal, after we prayed, and would often then fall asleep on her couch, practically purring like a kitty, content as we fellowshipped and played board games or cards.
The following is a letter from "Mama Evans" that she sent me when I was living in Israel (August 1989), getting ready to begin a work-study program at Kibbutz Sdot Yam near Caesarea. It reveals a little more of this precious woman God blessed us with:
Dear David:
Just a few lines to say hello and that I miss you very much and get a thrill of thankfulness and joy when I can speak of having a son in Israel.
This must be a dream come true. All my life I have dreamed of going to all the far off places. I think I was born a wanderlust child.
Any place even as a little girl that I read or heard about it just filled me with desire to get up and go. Even today I feel the same way.
My Dad must have been the same way because his books of which he had many were about places all over the world.
He would talk to me even when I was 5 yrs. old about the far corners of the earth even China, but I never got any farther than Toledo.
But in the world tomorrow I hope to be able to flit from place to place. When I looked at the picture I could picture Christ walking on the shores of Galilee.
I pray for His Coming to rescue the world. It can't be too soon for me.
Everyone who knows you misses you. You are a special kind of guy. A little rebellious with a head full of dreams mixed with knowledge. There can't be another like you. I have a feeling you are very special to God.
Take care honey and don't forget all that you know of God's Truth.
Bye for now.
Love you,
Mom Evans
This letter shows how loving Mama was... She was always gentle but firm if necessary, but you never doubted she always had your best interests at heart. She used to say "a little love goes a long way, " "they need love the most who deserve it the least" and "tears purify the soul."
I was pleased to write this poem for her one Sabbath day (on the spur of the moment, wanting to help let her know how much we loved and appreciated her), and gave it to her at our Church of God services before I left, getting a big hug and kiss in return:
Mama Evans
Her warmth and love is known both far & wide
Her wonderful smile illuminates lives
Her sweet laughter uplifts many hearts
Helping both young & old she knows is her part
Giving hugs & kisses, making many meals
Veritable love feasts from a woman sincere
GOD BLESS OUR ERMA we need her so dear
Keep her close to your Kingdom
Help her bring You near.
Mama Evans, 89, died October 29, 1998. We know she rests in peace and awaits the First Resurrection.
Meanwhile, Mama lives on and shines through the eyes of those who remember her and have tales to tell of her from the heart.

Indians are not Bnei Menashe
"Historic: Bnei Menashe Permitted to Move to Israel"- so reports Israel National News, participating in the BIG LIE of Indian converts to Judaism pretending to be descendants of Bnei Menashe - the sons of Menashe (Manasseh, the son of Joseph) - while bearing none of the biblical birthmarks that prove Israelite identity.

Avraham My friend
(Isaiah 41:8)
Marcheshvan 13, 5769/November 11, 2008
The two Torah readings of Lech Lecha, (Genesis 12:1-17:27) and Vayera, (ibid 18:1-22:24), chronicle the life and travels (both physical and spiritual) of Avraham avinu - our father Abraham. Very revealing of who Avraham was is the fact that G-d's first words to Avraham, "Lech lecha" were spoken only after decades of spiritual search and discovery by Avraham taken upon his own, and only his own, initiative.
Avraham was troubled by the politically correct anthropocentric humanistic relative moralism of his day. In other words, he rejected the claim that man and man alone is the arbiter of right and wrong. Avraham lived in a world in which glorified thugs like Nimrod, the ruler of Ur (Babylon) and Pharaoh, the leader of Egypt, by virtue of their temporal powers, assumed the roles of gods, issuing decrees of life and death in accordance to their own convenience and sense of self aggrandizement.
Little wonder then, that, having left Ur for Haran, where he was able to pursue his search for the one G-d which he intuitively knew ruled all of creation, and where he was freer to teach others his new discovery, G-d commanded Avraham to travel onward to the land "that I will show you." (ibid 12:1) For the land of Canaan to which Avraham set out, was beyond the spheres of influence of both Nimrod and Pharaoah, Babylon and Egypt, the two super powers of the day. But G-d's call to travel westward was also a call to Avraham to redouble his efforts to attain a spiritual clarity of a world created by one G-d, and man's purpose in that world: "Lech lecha:" "Travel for your own sake," or perhaps, "Continue your spiritual odyssey into your own inner truth, ("that I will show you"), where you will merit a direct encounter with the Divine."
Still, it was Avraham who, through his searching, initiated his encounter with G-d, and it was G-d, who, without the fanfare of an attending vision or dream-state appearance, responded with the encouraging, "Lech lecha." For ten generations G-d had not actively engaged man, for man had grown surely and dismissive of G-d, attempting to drive Him from this earth. Avraham, unique in the annals of human history, courted G-d, as it were, and not the other way around. It was Avraham, as it were, who encouraged G-d to re-engage man in the task that He had originally intended for man: the perfection of creation through the emulation of G-d's loving kindness and the teaching of the knowledge of Him to all mankind. This was the measure of Avraham and it was Avraham's guileless give-and-take with the Creator of the universe that earned him the Scriptural sobriquet, "the friend of G-d."
In this light we can better understand the opening words of Vayera:
"Now the L-rd appeared to him in the plains of Mamre and he was sitting at the entrance of the tent when the day was hot. And he lifted his eyes and saw, and behold, three men were standing beside him, and he saw and he ran toward them from the entrance of the tent, and he prostrated himself to the ground." (ibid 18:1-2)
The verses plainly state that Avraham was engaged in a direct spiritual encounter with G-d, when he himself interrupted the prophetic experience for the sake of offering hospitality to three undistinguished wayfarers. This would seem to violate all the rules of proper etiquette. We would hardly behave in such a manner before an earthly sovereign, much less the Sovereign of the universe! Yet Avraham, the friend of G-d, knew that godliness was embodied in action, not in contemplative detachment from the world.
And again, in this light we can gain insight into Avraham's graceful and loving submission to G-d's word in the final and greatest of the tests he faced in his life: the binding of his beloved son Yitzchak. For, despite the seeming contradiction between all that he had come to understand concerning G-d and G-d's promise to him, and the immense task with which G-d had now entrusted him, Avraham remained true to the moral imperative that had been his guide throughout all his spiritual journeys: there is but one G-d in the world to which all knees bend and to which all wills submit. Only by remaining steadfast to this Avrahamic truth can we muster the courage and vision to measure up to the tests that G-d visits upon each and every one of us.
Tune in to this week's Temple Talk, as Rabbi Chaim Richman and Yitzchak Reuven discuss Avraham Avinu, the seeker of G-d and true citizen of the world. Tenaciously grounded in this world, Avraham reintroduced his fellow man to G-d and to godly behavior. By doing so, he changed the course of history, kindling in the hearts of his spiritual and biological progeny a love of G-d that burns brightly to this very day.
Today also features the new Light to the Nations teaching by Rabbi Chaim Richman, entitled, "Mystery of the tallit, part III: The talit - prayer shawl - and tzitzit - fringes - enable the worshipper who has enveloped himself within the talit to draw upon the holy light of G-d’s infinite being, known as the surrounding light, and to wrap himself within this light. This surrounding light enables him to pray in solitude even when praying in a quorum. This same light, as embodied in the talit, will accompany him into the next world, testifying to his good deeds."

As reported recently, the Moslem Wakf which administers the Temple Mount, for decades openly acknowledged in its own self published GUIDE BOOK TO THE TEMPLE MOUNT, the historical connection between the Temple Mount, the Holy Temple, and the Jewish nation. The Temple Institute website features facsimiles of the 1925 and 1950 guide books, verifying this. The Temple Institute has now gained access to a copy of the 1965 SUPREME MOSLEM COUNCIL GUIDE BOOK TO THE TEMPLE MOUNT.
In the 1965 edition the two unequivocal acknowledgments of the first and second Holy Temple have been completely expunged from the text. Inserted into the text (page 78) is a completely false account of Israel mortar shelling of the Al Aksa Mosque causing damage to the Mosque and killing an innocent worshipper. Although the mortar attack may have in fact taken place, its source would have been the Jordanian legion, which was heavily shelling the Jewish quarter adjacent to the Temple Mount. The nascent Israeli army was bereft of the ability to launch an attack of this nature. To learn more and to see a facsimile of the relevant pages of the 1965 guide, please click here.
Avraham Avinu was tested ten times by G-d throughout his life. The final and most awesome of the trials was the binding of his son Yitzchak, (Isaac). He faced these trials with equanimity and love. We, too, are tested throughout our lives by G-d. By meeting our own personal trials with the love exhibited by Avraham we, too, can experience G-d's profound love for us.

Jerusalem and the Third Temple
Will Rome learn from history and receive instruction from the Bible or harden their hearts and be destroyed like pharaoh and Babylon?
A House of Prayer For All Peoples?
Jewish guards prevent Christians and Jews from exercising their religious right to pray on the Temple Mount? That's right! Only Muslims have unlimited access to Judaism's most holy site. Only the Koran is permitted within. The Tanach (Jewish Scripture, known to much of the world as the "Old Testament") and Christian Scriptures (the New Testament) are forbidden. Yet Israel claims to respect the religious rights of all people.
Major Upheaval in Israel?
Will an EARTHQUAKE shake Israel to its foundations and rock the world? Would the destruction of the Western/Wailing Wall and the demolition of the "Dome of the Rock" and Al-Aksa mosques—by an ACT OF GOD—serve further notice that it's time to build the Temple?
Third Temple Coming Soon to Jerusalem!
"And let them make me a Sanctuary that I may dwell among them" (Ex. 25:8). This holy command in the Scriptures seems clear enough, so what's the problem? Why has Israel tolerated Jerusalem’s "abomination of desolation" — a Temple Mount without a Temple? Why haven't the religious leaders encouraged the people to do what they can in fulfilling this mitzva?
The Temple of God in Holy Jerusalem
Paul, speaking of the imminent Third Temple, the holy TEMPLE OF GOD (the Temple of God - not just of the Jews or any other conspiracy theory that contradicts Scripture), that Europe's wannabe divine emperor will pollute, coveting it since Satan knows (even if some religious folks don't) it is the TEMPLE OF GOD...
Jews Must Demand Rights to Temple Mount
During a 1995 Root and Branch lecture in Jerusalem, Professor Nahum Rakover, author and then Deputy Attorney General of Israel, publicly agreed with me that it isn't illegal for Christians or Jews to pray upon the Temple Mount, even though it is forcibly prevented by the police.
The Issue of the Temple Mount
The common knowledge of our time is that the vast majority of Rabbis of this generation have prohibited the Jewish people from entering the Temple Mount (Har HaBayit), the holiest site in Judaism. The Temple Mount is the site of where the Beit HaMikdash (the Jewish Temple) once stood and the place where the Moslems have erected one mosque, the al-Aqsa and a site of pilgrimage, the Dome of the Rock.
Restore Israeli Sovereignty Over Temple Mount
The Wakf, the militant Muslim authority that oversees Jerusalem's Temple Mount, Judaism's holiest site and Islam's alleged third holiest site (following Mecca and Medina) continue to show blatant disregard for Jewish, Christian and biblical history and non-Muslim sensitivities.
Where's the Temple On the Temple Mount?
Something's missing. Rome is synonymous with the Vatican, Mecca with the Kaaba, and Jerusalem's known for its Western Wall. But why should we stand before the wall, letting it obstruct our vision, when we could be praying in a Temple? Why should Jews continue to bow before an illegitimate Gentile decree that tells them where to pray? (Isaiah 10:1).
The Vatican Must Return the Temple Treasures
The Jews have prayed for 2,000 years to again see the Temple upon the Temple Mount. It's past time for prayers alone: ACTION is necessary to put faith into practice!
G-d Doesn't Listen to Jewish Prayers at the Western Wall
Gershon Salomon warned Israel and its leadership that as long as the shameful situation on the Temple Mount continues, and as long as they do not obey the call of G-d, peace will not come to the land. The enemies of Israel will continue to desire her land and will pressure those in power to divide it. Obedience to the call of G-d will bring peace, all of Israel's enemies will be removed and no one will wish to divide or desire the land.
Why Edward Abington, Jr. Must Be Investigated!
"The American Diplomat in Arafat's Corner," published in The Jerusalem Report, came as no surprise to me. It was referring to Edward Abington, Jr., the United States' former consul general in Jerusalem who is now "guiding the Palestinians through the labyrinths of Washington. And his firm is being paid $2.25 million for his expertise."
Israel's Unjust Deportation of David Ben-Ariel
As a Christian-American member of the Temple Mount Faithful Movement, I had been privileged to participate in their legal demonstrations during my 10-month stay in Jerusalem awaiting dual citizenship. Israeli television often showed me with my Jewish friends carrying Israeli flags throughout the Old City.
Blow Up the Mosques or An Expired Visa?
Once again, an attempt to spread DISinformation about my unjust deportation from Israel, only provides me with another opportunity to clearly state my case and continue to highlight the plight of the Temple Mount suffering under a Nazi-Muslim occupation...
From Toledo to Jerusalem
You could say I have a God-given love for the Jews and the nation of Israel (Isaiah 62:6-7). That sacred bond has been strengthened over the years by the fact that I've been blessed to have lived all over Israel, getting to know its land and people quite well.
Dangerous Ideas?
During my brief appearance before Israel's High Court, the prosecution charged that I hold "dangerous ideas." I suppose the short-sighted prosecution would ban the Bible if he could since it contains the "dangerous ideas" that millions believe in! What are those "dangerous ideas?"
American Detained in Jerusalem's Russian CompoundNobody arrested me. I was detained when I faithfully reported to the police office at 9 a.m. Monday morning, January 9, 1996 (day before my birthday) the day after The Jerusalem Post published on their front page an article shedding light on what they were doing in the dark: "GSS Seeks to Deport American Citizen for Plot to Blow Up Al Aksa Mosque."
STILL AT LARGE!
The Jerusalem Post, Jan. 8, 1996, had a front page story about how the GSS sought my deportation for alleged involvement in a "plot to blow up the Al-Aksa mosque."
And now for the rest of the story:
IF the Israeli authorities truly suspected me of being involved in such a dangerous activity, they would have NEVER RELEASED ME with only my passport in their hands. As for those others allegedly involved in some plot, that were "still at large" - THEY'RE STILL AT LARGE to this day, twelve years later, because they don't exist! And, just like twelve years ago I protested my innocence, I continue to this day doing the same, consistent, honest and true, as God knows, and as they very well know.
They had a computer disk with Beyond Babylon on it back then, and now Beyond Babylon is professionally published, and it says now, as then, that it is the GOVERNMENT of Israel's responsibility to remove the mosques and prepare for the Temple. Gershon Salomon, chairman of the Temple Mount Faithful, has been stating that fact publicly since he helped to liberate the Temple Mount in 1967 during the Six Day War. What we say is LEGAL and BIBLICAL, although some would trample our rights to express ourselves and practice our religion, in a vain attempt to appease the Nazi-Muslim beasts.
Thankfully, the Temple will soon be REALITY upon the TEMPLE Mount and the mosques will be history!

The one time The Traveller did run a political piece, it ruffled feathers with the local authorities.

Temple Mount Faithful Succoth and Hanukkah 2008
With the Help of G-d
The Temple Mount Faithful Feast of Tabernacles Celebration - 5769/2008
In the midst of a critical time of redemption in Israel -- and during a very complicated time of trouble all over the world, the Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement held one of its most exciting events in its campaign to build the Third Temple in our lifetime. Now, more than any other time in the past, our materialistic generation needs the G-d of Israel to dwell in the midst of our daily lives. This generation needs the light of G-d to shine into the darkness that is now spreading to the four corners of the earth. As was prophesied through the prophets of Israel, G-d chose this time to bring about His plans with Israel in order to begin the endtime redemption of the entire world.
In a time when so many people in the world are searching and seeking after materialistic achievements and serving the "Golden Calf", the Faithful Movement has been involved in intensive endtime activities. We have been seeking the spirit, the morals, the values and the word of the G-d of Israel. We have been demonstrating for the rebuilding of His Holy House in Jerusalem and for the coming of Mashiach Ben David in our lifetime.
This most recent event took place on Thursday, 17 Tishrei 5769/October 16, 2008, during the Feast of Succoth -- the Feast of Tabernacles.
The Succoth Festival is one of the most exciting holidays in the life of Israel. It is one of the three festivals during which G-d commanded Israel to make a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, to His Holy Temple. He called Israel to come that they would know His love for His people, and that they would show their love to Him. In this festival G-d calls His people to be filled with joy in the land that He gave them in an eternal covenant. As we marched to the Temple Mount on this day, we felt the Spirit of G-d covering us with great love. We felt like we were in heaven when we walked on the Holy Ground, the most holy place in all the world. This is the same place where Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, King David, King Solomon and all the prophets of Israel, along with many millions of Israelites, walked to show their love to their Father G-d. This is also the festival during which King Solomon completed the building of the First Temple. He dedicated and anointed it in an exciting ceremony, during which the Ark of the Covenant was brought up from the Tent of David and located in the Holy of Holies, on the Holy Rock of Abraham and Isaac (1 Kings 7:51; 8:12).
On the Temple Mount we could feel that time is short. We knew that the day of the rebuilding of the Temple is soon to come. Gershon Salomon called on the people of Israel to prepare themselves for this great day. He called upon them to stop praying and worshiping in the front of the Western Wall. He said to the people of Israel that G-d can no more accept the prayers outside of His Holy Hill.
He called the leadership of Israel to remove the pagan Muslim enemy and his shrines from the Holy Mountain of G-d, and to do it without delay. This is the call of G-d at this time, and we must answer His call without delay.
From the Temple Mount the Faithful, together with many Israelis and friends from outside of Israel, marched to the ancient City of David. We marched to the historic Pool of Siloam that was re-discovered a year ago. This pool and the accompanying tunnel were dug by King Hezekiah 2,800 years ago. This march renewed an exciting event that was celebrated by our forefathers during the Feast of Succoth, in the time of the First and Second Temple. At that time, thousands of pilgrims marched from the Temple to the Pool of Siloam to draw the Holy Water from the pool, while offering prayers to the G-d of Israel. They then marched back to the Temple to pour out the water on the altar, and to pray for a blessed year with much rain for the crops. This exciting event is described in the historical sources as the most joyful and most exciting event in the lives of the people of Israel:
"All the streets of Jerusalem were lit up with many lights. The High Priest and all the other priests, dressed in their beautiful garments, walked in front of the pilgrims, together with the King of Israel. The priests were followed by the Levities playing on the musical instruments, playing and singing songs. Jerusalem was emptied of people as they joined the marchers and danced all the way from the Temple to the pool."
The Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement renewed this exciting event. The City of David, which again is being settled by Israelis, experienced this joyful and exciting event after being destroyed almost two thousand years ago. The surrounding mountains were once again witnesses to great godly events carried out by the children of Israel. They watched as the G-d of Israel regathered them back to the Holy Land and to Jerusalem, to rebuild His House and His Holy Kingdom.
The traditional ceremony at the Pool of Siloam started when a priest with the Faithful Movement drew the water using vessels that were especially made for use in the soon coming Third Temple. This was then followed by prayers, songs of the psalms and thanks to the G-d of Israel Who gave us the privilege of living in such an exciting generation.
After this joyful ceremony the Faithful marched again to the Temple Mount, carrying the water that was drawn from the pool, just as our forefathers had done. The water was poured on a large group of heavy stones which had been thrown down by the Romans when they destroyed the Temple in 70 CE. This is only a temporary measure; we will do everything we can to make sure that on the next Feast of Tabernacles the water will be poured on the altar in the rebuilt Temple, exactly as our forefathers did.
The Revival of the Holy Assembly of "Hakhel"
One of the most holy events held in the Temple was the "Holy Assembly of Hakhel". This assembly was held every seven years on the Feast of Tabernacles, after the "Smitah" year was finished ("Smitah" is the sabbatical year of the ground, when fields are left fallow every seventh year). It was a very exciting and holy event. Hundreds of thousands pilgrims, along with all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, gathered on the Temple Mount and inside the Temple. They would listen to the High Priest as he read the Commandments of G-d from the book of Deuteronomy, in the Holy Torah.
The event of "Hakhel" was one of the most exciting events during the times the Temple stood. Every one could feel the presence of the G-d of Israel so strongly, just as if G-d Himself was speaking to His beloved people Israel. The desire today of the people of Israel for the rebuilding of the House of G-d is also an expression of desire to once again experience this most exciting godly event.
From its very beginning, the Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement decided to renew the events that are connected with the worship in the Temple so that we shall be ready to fulfill all of them when the Temple is rebuilt. The event of "Hakhel" was an important step towards this fulfillment. Because we could not do it this year on the Temple Mount, we held the event in front of the walls of the Temple Mount and the stones of the Temple itself. Our faces were directed to the Holy of Holies as we read the Commandments of Deuteronomy with great excitement. Two thousand years after the destruction of the Temple, the G-d of Israel could hear His People Israel reading His Word, with prayers that came from the bottom of their hearts. These were prayers for the rebuilding of the Temple in our lifetime, and for holding this exciting godly event next year in the right place, in the rebuilt Temple. We would like to present some of the Commandments that were heard at the Holy Hill of G-d on this special event of the Faithful Movement. Hopefully, this will express the godly atmosphere that covered us with love and blessed our hearts:
"You stand this day all of you before the LORD your GOD; your captains of your tribes, your elders, and your officers, with all the men of Yisra'el, your little ones, your wives, and thy stranger that is in thy camp, from the hewer of thy wood to the drawer of thy water; that thou shouldst enter into the covenant of the LORD thy GOD, and into his oath, which the LORD thy GOD makes with thee this day: that he may establish thee today for a people to himself, and that he may be to thee a GOD, as he has said to thee, and as he has sworn to thy fathers, to Avraham, to Yizhaq, and to Ya'aqov. Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath; but with him that stands here with us this day before the LORD our GOD, and also with him that is not here with us this day" (Deuteronomy 29:9-14)
"Hear, O Yisra'el: The LORD our GOD; the LORD is one. And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thy heart: and thou shalt teach them diligently to thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thy house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thy arm, and they shall be as frontlets between thy eyes. And thou shalt write them upon the doorposts of thy house, and on thy gates." (Deuteronomy 6:4-9)
"For if you shall diligently keep all these commandments which I command you, to do them, to love the LORD your GOD, to walk in all his ways, and to hold fast to him; then will the LORD drive out all these nations from before you, and you shall possess greater nations and mightier than yourselves. Every place whereon the sole of your foot shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness to the Levanon, from the river, the river Perat, to the uttermost sea shall be your border. There shall no man be able to stand against you: for the LORD your GOD shall lay the fear of you and the dread of you upon all the land that you shall tread upon, as he has spoken to you" (Deuteronomy 11:22-25)
"For thou art a holy people to the LORD thy GOD: the LORD thy GOD has chosen thee to be a special people to himself, above all peoples that are upon the face of the earth. The LORD did not set his love upon you, or choose you, because you were more in number than any people; for you were the fewest of all peoples: but because the LORD loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn to your fathers, has the LORD brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Par'o king of Mizrayim. Know therefore that the LORD thy GOD, he is GOD, the faithful GOD, who keeps covenant and troth with those who love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations; and repays them that hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him that hates him, he will repay him to his face. Thou shalt therefore keep the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which I command thee this day, to do them" (Deuteronomy 7:6-11)
This Word of G-d has a special significance at this time for all the nations in the world that still do not recognize and accept the godly event of the rebirth of Israel in the Land of Israel. These nations do not accept that G-d gave Israel this land by an eternal covenant for an eternal purpose: to be a holy nation, a kingdom of priests and a light to the nations (Exodus 19:5-6). This is the answer to all of those who want to divide the land of Israel and Jerusalem, and to establish a foreign anti-godly so-called "Palestinian State" of terror that will destroy the kingdom of Israel. This is also a lesson to the people of Israel to not trust any nation, power or human being; instead they must trust only in G-d, exactly as He called them to do. He promised to stand and protect them and to give them eternal life.
The Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement will continue her godly campaign to build the endtime Temple of G-d on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem; and to remove from the Temple Mount -- without delay -- the pagan enemy of G-d and the people of Israel. The Faithful Movement will continue to educate the people of Israel to be a biblical nation in order that it will fulfill the mission that G-d gave them. Everyone in Israel and all over the world is called at this godly and critical time to give his hands, help, and support, and to stand with and participate in the historical campaign of the Temple Mount Faithful Movement.
SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: Hanukkah 2008
On Hanukkah, December 2008, the Temple Mount Faithful Movement will hold a very special and exciting event. This event will start at the ancient city and tombs of the Maccabees in Modi'in (25 miles from Jerusalem) and continue all the way to Jerusalem and the Temple Mount. We shall bring to mind the heritage of the Maccabees, who liberated the Temple Mount, Jerusalem and all of the Land of Israel from the control of the pagan Greeks. They purified the Temple and renewed the Holy worship to the G-d of Israel. This will be a lesson to the people of Israel and to all the world. More details and date will be shared later. Everyone that would like to participate in this important and exciting event is called to keep in touch with us and will be welcome and appreciated very much. Don't miss it!

Steven Plaut outburst against David Ben-Ariel
Rabin Day - Parts I and II (Steven Plaut's outburst)
****************************
Wow! Your hateful and murderous rant must leave you foaming at the mouth! The old SHOOT THE MESSENGER tactic rather than focus on the message - Shimon Peres came to power over Rabin's deady body.
How much does Shabak pay you to spew your distortions against those who love Israel and expose those who betray the Jewish homeland? 30 shekels? Don't you know they'll use you and then throw you away?
The Jewish Press has cheapened itself by permitting your Shabak propaganda to pollute their name, and honest folk, objective individuals, can clearly see you're not reputable when you're in denial of my legal name, David Ben-Ariel, you hysterically accuse me of being a terrorist (utterly refuted in From Toledo to Jerusalem), and other cheap shots that expose a desperation and an obsession.
Be very careful, Mr. Steven Plaut, or you might come up missing like their other agent provocateur Avishai Raviv who goaded patsy Yigal Amir to have his part in their plot: the staged assassination of Yitzhak Rabin whose blood still cries out for justice.

The Mystery of MELCHIZEDEK Solved!
"And Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine; he was priest of God Most High. And he [Melchizedek] blessed him [Abraham] and said, 'Blessed be Abram by God Most High, maker of heaven and earth; and blessed be God Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your hand!' And Abram gave him [Melchizedek] a tenth of everything" that is, a tithe of all, for a tithe means a tenth (Genesis 14:18-20, RSV).
THE SIN OF INTERRACIAL MARRIAGE
This world says the cause of racial problems is segregation, when in fact the opposite is the case.
Just What Do You Mean...Kingdom of God?
Is it the CHURCH? Is it something "setup in the hearts of men"? Is it the British Empire? Is it "the good within you"? Is it "the Millennium"? Each of these is widely taught - yet none is right!
Herbert W. Armstrong Was Ahead of His Time!
Mr. Armstrong was ahead of his time. The principles of prophecy he spoke of remain absolutely true: a final revival of the unholy Roman Empire is prophesied and the EU is forging ahead with that Frankenstein Monster now.
The Plain Truth About Herbert W. Armstrong and the Worldwide Church of God
Herbert W. Armstrong was courageously teaching the plain truth around the world, announcing the good news of the Wonderful World Tomorrow, the Kingdom of God that will soon be established with the return and reign of Christ.
Was Herbert W. Armstrong Elijah?
Was Herbert W. Armstrong the prophesied individual to come in the power and spirit of Elijah, as taught by the former Worldwide Church of God and still believed by many of the branches of the Sabbath-keeping Church of God?
Herbert W. Armstrong and the Worldwide Church of God Mentioned in Israeli Newspaper
One of the Worldwide Church of God beliefs is that there will be a politico-military mess that will take place by next year. In their opinion, Germany, and maybe even Italy, will attempt to conquer the world. That attempt will ignite a world war that will take two thirds of the world's population, but that afterwards there will begin a true peace for planet Earth. The members of the Worldwide Church of God will be among those that survive and they believe that eventually their beliefs will be accepted by all the Earth.
Is All Animal Flesh Good Food?
Were all animals made clean? What about the unclean animals shown to Peter in a vision? Here is a straightforward Bible answer, giving the New Testament teaching. This subject is important to your health and well-being!
Accusations Against Herbert W. Armstrong
Those who truly are Christians understand that the Christian thing to do, especially in light of the fact that the worst accusations against Herbert W. Armstrong would be thrown out of court, dismissed for lack of evidence, is to give Herbert W. Armstrong the benefit of the doubt, as we would want, knowing we're to love our neighbor as ourselves...
Israelis ready for a king?
Re: Time for Israel to appoint a king, scholar says
When, since its founding in '48. did they ever have a monarchy?
Who is it, do you propose that they install as king (Queen)?
Those with a biblical view consider the revival of the nation of Israel, presently the Jewish homeland of Israel (held in trust for all Twelve Tribes of Israel), as the continuation of the Kingdom of Judah, capital Jerusalem. So for us to call upon the Jews to restore their monarchy in Israel is only logical and not troubled by time or space.
Am I a prophet? I'll leave that to their sages to determine, so help them God.
Of course, as prophesied, a scion of King David continues to rule over Israel in the Isles today: Her Royal Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
Would to God QEII would remember her Hebrew roots and return to the Faith once delivered to Jerusalem and forsake Babylon, setting a sterling example for every British- Israelite to follow.

Yitzhak Rabin Memorial marred by liberal hate
by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu
(IsraelNN.com) Labor party chairman Ehud Barak told tens of thousands at the annual memorial rally for Prime Minister Yitzchak Rabin in Tel Aviv Saturday night that "extremists" are a "cancer" and that "we will remove this evil from our midst." Kadima leader Tzipi Livni was also was invited to speak.
President Shimon Peres complained of the absence of "part of the nation that does not see itself as a part of this memorial event," referring to nationalists. National Union Knesset Member Uri Ariel later commented to the media, "When the speakers invited to the memorial event are the head of Labor and the head of Kadima, and when they exploit the opportunity by making political speeches, half of the nation feels excluded and unwanted at the event."
During the rally, which organizers proclaim as a memorial for democracy and peace, signs of Peace Now activists read, "No settler is my brother." Zionist student movement leaders complained that police attacked them and confiscated a sign stating, "End Peace Now's incitement."
The memorial was held on the eve of the 13th year since Herzliya resident Yigal Amir murdered Rabin after a mammoth rally backing the Oslo Accords.
The Foreign Ministry announced the anniversary with a listing of Rabin's biography and "key speeches" by Rabin.
However, it omitted one of his last and most important speeches, the "Ratification of the Israel-Palestinian Interim Agreement,” before the Knesset on October 5, 1995, one month before he was murdered.
Rabin stated in the speech his opposition to a new independent Arab state acting as a sovereign authority inside Israel's current borders. He stated at the time, "We view the permanent solution in the framework of State of Israel which will include most of the area of the Land of Israel as it was under the rule of the British Mandate, and alongside it a Palestinian entity which will be a home to most of the Palestinian residents living in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank.
"We would like this to be an entity which is less than a state, and which will independently run the lives of the Palestinians under its authority."
Rabin also declared, "We will not return to the 4 June 1967 lines. The security border of the State of Israel will be located in the Jordan Valley, in the broadest meaning of that term."
In response to inquiries, nationalist leaders from all factions have distanced themselves from conspiracy theorist David Rutstein who is now claiming that President Shimon Peres was responsible for the Rabin assassination.
**************
Have the Nationalist leaders distanced themselves from David Rutstein and/or from the compelling evidence that Barry Chamish brought to light in Who Murdered Yitzhak Rabin? that Shimon Peres is as guilty as sin as an accessory?

O JERUSALEM!
Jews - the Beast and False Prophet - and Rome's Destruction
If the Jews fail to take their warnings seriously about imminent EU occupation of Jerusalem and Europe's wannabe divine emperor polluting the Third Temple, the Temple of God will be desecrated by the son of perdition, the so-called Antichrist.
Two Witnesses to Testify in Jerusalem Against Europe
Two controversial figures, referred to in the Book of Revelation as two witnesses, two olive trees, two candlesticks and two prophets, will boldly declare GOD'S JUDGMENTS and proclaim the LORD'S CONTROVERSY (Micah 3:8; 6:1-2), delivering a BLISTERING MESSAGE and a SCORCHING CONDEMNATION -- just before NUCLEAR FIRE AND BRIMSTONE RAINS DOWN upon those who've rejected GOD'S ULTIMATUM (Isaiah 41:27; 30:27).
Jerusalem's Fall, Division and Liberation
Christ is not working backwards, but Flurry has got it backwards! Zechariah 14 clearly states international opposition against Jewish sovereignty over Jerusalem, leading to the European Union seizing the whole city -- "THE CITY shall be taken" -- and following that, undoubtedly trying to appease the Arabs, the European Union forcibly divides Jerusalem.
Conflict in Jerusalem
They've placed barbed wire all around their "yard," freshly tarred their roof, have an Israeli flag flying & are still clearing out all the junk the Arabs threw in there for the past 7 years. It was exciting to drive through that Palestinian village as they looked on. Earlier, being hot as usual, I started to roll down my window when they reminded me it's better to be hot than get a stone in the face!
Exposing the German-Vatican Plot to Occupy Jerusalem
The one time The Traveller did run a political piece, it ruffled feathers with the local authorities. In 'Will Jerusalem become an international city?' by American writer David Ben-Ariel, readers were warned about a German-Vatican plot to take over Jerusalem, urged to take back the Temple Mount and dislodge 'as symbols of foreign occupation' Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock.
Paint Israel Black: Jews to Lose Jerusalem!
Israel's rejection of their 1967 miracle will result in their loss of Jerusalem. Let Israel lower its flag and mourn and paint the country BLACK since Orange was crushed under "just following orders" soldiers doing their sworn enemies' dirty work....
Woe to Ariel! (Jerusalem to Suffer EU Occupation)
Isaiah 29:1
Woe to Ariel, to Ariel, the city where David dwelt!
Carl Sandburg, an American writer warned: "If America forgets where she came from...if she listens to the deniers and mockers, then will begin the rot and dissolution." The same principle applies to our Jewish brethren in Israel.
Europe to Take Out Iran For Jerusalem
As the United States called upon Israel to become their virtual protectorate during Operation Desert Storm, the European Union will offer Israel guarantees of peace and security. Europe, not the overextended and highly inflated United States, will take out Iran.
Mount Zion Under Siege: Who Will Be King of the Mountain?
The Vatican has its evil eye on Jerusalem! What better place to start their siege against the Holy City than Mt. Zion? Watch for them to fortify their position and launch an all-out attack to undermine Israeli sovereignty, enlisting Jewish traitors and the international community.
Grand Master Turns Up the Heat on Jerusalem
The cauldron that is Jerusalem is having the heat turned up by a series of planned events, the concerted efforts of Roman wolves in sheep's clothing, orchestrated by the Vatican. The Roman Catholic Cult, the Babylonian Mystery religion, covets the Holy City and aims on wresting control of Ariel (Jerusalem's nickname) from Israeli sovereignty by any means necessary.
UN Resolution 181: Blueprint of the Beast?
As Hitler clearly outlined his plans in Mein Kampf (and furiously put them into practice his first opportunity), so the United Nations passed an ominous resolution in 1947 concerning the fate of Jerusalem: UN Resolution 181 demands the Holy City submit to the status of an "international city." That's a glorified term for ENEMY OCCUPATION!
From Toledo to Jerusalem
Why would a blond, "non-Jewish" American want to emmigrate to Israel? What's the connection? Especially when so few Jews in the United States are willing to make the move. What force would drive someone to travel to Israel 11 times, serve in 8 kibbutzim and even stay there during the Persian Gulf War, complete with gas mask, with his room designated as cheder atoom - "sealed room" - that other volunteers had to run to whenever the eerie sirens sounded that another Scud Missile was headed for the Promised Land?
International Opposition to Jerusalem's Liberation
The world will oppose the Return of the King of the Jews, Israel's King, but the Prophets foretell such vain opposition will literally melt away. Both the Bible and the "New Testament" reveal demonic international opposition will be raised against King Messiah to foolishly fight against His return to Jerusalem, liberating it from Gentile EU occupation. They will be history - in a flash!
God-Given Names
I was born David A. Hoover on January 10, 1960 in Bowling Green, Ohio. However, I legally changed my name to David Ben-Ariel (with the help of my Jewish lawyer) during the Spring of 1989. It cost me $300.00.

Acts 24:14
14 But this I confess to you, that according to the Way which they call a sect, so I worship the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the Law and in the Prophets.
How can folks fail to see that the chosen few, the little flock, the true followers of Yeshua, have always been hated and despised and maligned by the religious majority? The former Worldwide Church of God was an association of such true Christians, but the present organization that pollutes that name is apostate and to be avoided (having returned to traditional vomit and Babylonian bile).
Quote:
a white supremist religious group
A "white supremacist" group that had Black and Mexican and Asian brethren as ministers, evangelists, pastors, elders, deacons, deaconesses, etc.? Surely you don't have a clue what you're talking about. Why not let the truth set you free from hateful misconceptions and murderous slander? Satan is the instigator of such lies against, and confusion about, the holy Sabbath-keeping people of God.
Quote:
teaches that the white British people are the real Jews
Like Yeshua and Paul's accusers, you've mixed some truth with error. The Sabbath-keeping Church of God members know and understand and recognize the British-Israelites are descendants of Joseph, are Joes- not Jews. The Jews are the Jews! Don't you know there are TWELVE TRIBES of Israel? We make the proper distinction the Bible does and respect our God-given tribal differences. Why don't you start to do the same?
Quote:
white people are the true rulers of western civilization
They're not? Who is then? Blacks? Asians? Mexicans? All those various races and ethnic groups clamoring to get into our blessed White Israelite countries basking in Joseph's Birthright Blessing? Why remain in denial? It's racist to be so hateful against the facts some dare to share.
Quote:
which is why he so much condemns the election of Obama to the presidency.
Yes, as a Bible believing Christian, I condemn the sin of White Israelites voting for a Gentile (even if he was worthy of a vote, which he wasn't) since the Bible condemns it. Do you deny, before both God and man, that the Bible forbids Israelites from empowering Gentiles to rule over them? That part of the curse to come upon our White Israelite peoples was Gentile domination over us? (Deuteronomy 28:43, Daniel 9:11).
Deuteronomy 17
15 ...you shall surely set a king over you whom the LORD your God chooses; one from among your brethren [your own kind, your own people, your own ethnic group] you shall set as king over you; you may not set a foreigner over you, who is not your brother [not your own kind, your own people, your own ethnic group].
For the record, I speak against such national sins and the various Sabbath-keeping Church of God groups need to start to cry aloud and spare not and show My People their sins while we still can - not just the sins of idolatry and immorality (which they do expose and condemn), but the sins of interracial marriage and electing Gentiles.

Actually all of Europe did this for 500 years. When no suitable so called 'blue blood ' could be found in their own land it was normal to get one from a neighboring country.
That is less than ideal, but I trust they were still of their kind, of their race, even if not immediate members of the family (so to speak).

The nation's founding fathers sure left a bitter cup with slavery.

The black slave traders in Africa have sown the wind (their black brothers and black sisters), but it appears they reaped whirlwind profits. Doesn't God judge the non-Israelites as strongly?
Abraham Lincoln (United States/Manasseh) proposed sending the blacks back to Africa where they belong (repatriation not reparations), but failed to follow through on it or was unable to due to his death. As far as our British-Israelite brethren go, Churchill (Ephraim) had excellent ideas about restricting non-white immigrants but he also failed to implement them and now our half-baked countries are adulterated and overrun with foreigners.
Ephraim has mixed himself among the peoples; Ephraim is a cake unturned. Hosea 7:8

Chromosomes and Character
So there were 8 who lived. Only Noah was mentioned as upright in the sight of the Lord.
Yes, that's true. And Noah is mentioned as one of the three most righteous men who ever lived. He was righteous and his descent pure, unadulterated.
Genesis 6:9
This is the genealogy [ethnic/racial/family line] of Noah. Noah was a just man, perfect in his generations [ethnic/racial/family line - generations is plural - chromosomes]. Noah walked with God [his character].
Ezekiel 14:14
Even if these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they would deliver only themselves by their righteousness,” says the Lord GOD.
Ezekiel 14:20
even though Noah, Daniel, and Job were in it, as I live,” says the Lord GOD, “they would deliver neither son nor daughter; they would deliver only themselves by their righteousness.”

Blessed be Avram to the Most High G-d
(Genesis 14:19)
Marcheshvan 8, 5769/November 6, 2008
Elections, insurrections, national emergencies, insurgencies, earthquakes, hurricanes, markets crashing, budget slashing... These are but some of the headlines capturing our attention these past weeks and months. What does it all mean? In what direction are they pointing? Or is it little more than a lot of surface noise, upending lives for sure, but shedding little light for those of us seeking an insight into where man is heading, straining our ears to hear what G-d is saying?
These may be questions better left to historians to answer once the roar of events has died away and the dust has settled. But below the surface, far beneath the roiling events of the day, in the very tectonic plates that shape the eons, G-d has orchestrated the movements of man's past, his present, and his future. And Torah, G-d's gift of love and guidance, provides us with the tools and the body of knowledge to explore and behold and understand where G-d is leading us.
There seem to be no two characters in the book of Genesis more dissimilar than Noach and Avraham. Noach appears taciturn and introspective. Avraham is outgoing, embracing man, pursuing G-d. Noach succeeded in bringing aboard the ark just his immediate family, whereas Avraham, already busy "making souls" while in Haran (Genesis 12:5), has created an entirely new community, a fellowship of seekers devoted to walking before G-d. Yet midrash tells us that these two righteous individuals each performed a crucial role in a chain of events that began more than a millennium before their time and would continue to shape the destiny of nations for millennia to come.
"And the dove returned to him at eventide, and behold it had plucked an olive leaf in its mouth; so Noach knew that the water had abated from upon the earth." (Genesis 8:11) Midrash teaches the following insight: Noach stretched out his arm for the dove to alight on. He then gathered the olives that were attached the the leafy branch that the dove had delivered. He pressed the olives into pure oil, poured the oil into a cruse and sealed it. He presented the sealed cruse of oil to the eldest of his three sons, Shem.
The midrash picks up again in this week's Torah reading, immediately after Avraham led his allies to victory in the war between the kings of the Plain: "And Malchizedek the king of Salem brought out bread and wine, and he was a priest to the Most High G-d. And he blessed him, and he said, 'Blessed be Avram to the Most High G-d, Who possesses heaven and earth. And blessed be the Most High G-d, Who has delivered your adversaries into your hand,' and he gave him a tithe from all." (Genesis 14:18-20) Midrash teaches that Malchizedek and Shem were one and the same: Shem, the first born of Noach, had assumed his destined role as High Priest. And what did the tithe contain that he gave to Avraham? The single cruse of pure olive oil that Noach had previously given to him. And what did Avraham do with the cruse of oil? He bequeathed it to Yitzchak (Isaac), who handed it down to Yaakov (Jacob), who brought it along when he fled from his brother Esau. The midrash surfaces again when, returning to the land of Israel, Yaakov finds himself alone on the banks of the Yabbok river, where he wrestles throughout the night with an unnamed foe. Midrash teaches us that the foe was none other than Esau's guardian angel. And what were they fighting over? The single cruse of pure olive oil that Yaakov had returned for before entering the land. And what does Yaakov do with the cruse of oil? He returns to the very place where he had laid down his head to sleep and dreamed of a ladder stretching from the heavens to the earth, declaring upon wakening that this was the place of the House of the L-rd. There he hides the cruse.
And there the cruse remained dormant for centuries until one day a triumphant army of Maccabee warriors enters the Holy Temple, removes the desecration left by the Greek armies of Antiochus and re-purifies the Holy Temple. Looking for still pure olive oil to kindle the lamps of the golden menorah, they discover the very same single cruse of pure olive oil pressed by Noach, entrusted to Shem - Malchitzedek - and diligently cared for by Avraham, Yitzchak and Yaakov.
We are taught further that the light of the golden menorah is the very same pure light of creation that G-d had hidden away at the beginning of time for the righteous to enjoy in the world to come: The light contained in the olive, plucked by the dove, pressed by Noach and handed from righteous to righteous throughout the generations.
Literal truth? Proven fact? Certainly not the stuff of today's headlines and lead stories, but the message alluded to by Torah is the unassailable incontrovertible truth of G-d's presence in history and His will that all man will come to worship Him in His house upon His holy mountain. The righteous throughout the generations have worked faithfully and selflessly to make His promise to mankind come true. New names and new faces appear each evening on our TV screens and each morning in the newspapers delivered to our doors. Many promise change. Few deliver. Some swear to serve G-d in the name of justice and right. Others swear to confound Him. But whether we find ourselves overcome with elation or plunged into despair with the news of the day, we must always remember that it is the righteous on this earth, working quietly and asking no reward, who are the true bringers of change. May we merit the day when Noach's cruse of pure olive oil will once again be used to kindle the seven lamps of the golden menorah, flooding us all with light: a light to Israel, a light to the nations.
Tune in to this week's Temple Talk, as Rabbi Chaim Richman and Yitzchak Reuven discover Noach's magnanimous gesture to mankind, appreciate Avraham's uncompromising fight with the politically correct idolatry of his day, and his pursuit of truth and the one G-d.

Young Avraham Avinu takes on the entire civilized world of his day, rejecting their idols and their self-serving culture of I, me, and mine. G-d was so moved, as it were, He personally rescued Avraham from the fiery furnace of Ur. Click here to view Rabbi Richman's short teaching on parashat Lech Lecha (Genesis 12:1-17:27).
