Is Ever Merciful, ... And His Seed Is Blessed
May 27 through June 2, 2007, marks the beginning and end of our Feast of Weeks celebration as decreed by
for the children of Israel (Deuteronomy 16:16).
This Feast is celebrated to mark the end of the grain harvest, and begins the season of the offering of the first fruits. Harvest time is a time of joy and a time to celebrate the first fruits of our labor.
Moreover, the Feast of Weeks is also a time of giving thanks to the Lord,
, for a prosperous and bountiful harvest since the last Feast of Weeks. The results from the efforts put forth during the year are made evident at this festival.
Deuteronomy 28:1-2 makes it clear what our blessings are based on, and it reads: And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord,
, thy God, to observe and to do all His commandments which I command thee THIS DAY, that the Lord,
, thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth.
Comprehension of this requires a clear understanding of the words hearken and voice. Therefore, based on the integrity of The New Strong's Complete Dictionary of Bible Words, copyright 1996, on page 124, hearken (reference number 8085) in Hebrew is shama (pronounced shaw-mah), and it means "hear intelligently, listen, obey, or understand"; while voice is described as "proclamation"; a proclamation is defined as a "decree"; and a decree is synonymous to law (according to Webster's New World Dictionary & Thesaurus, copyright 1998, Computer Software).
With these facts, we can conclude that the blessed seed are those who will hear intelligently to the laws of
. To hear intelligently is to hear studiously, which means through study (according to Bartlett's Roget's Thesaurus, copyright 1996, on page 1058, reference number 48.26).
To hear through study means through acquisition of knowledge, extensive study, and research about the laws of
as taught by His Son,
(same source on page 1321, reference numbers 4.4 and 48.7). In addition, the blessed seed are also those who understand, listen to, and obey the laws of
.
When we do these things, all the blessings in Deuteronomy 28:1-14 shall not only come on us, but they shall even overtake us. But, however, only if we diligently acquire knowledge, do extensive study, and protracted research of the laws of
and, most of all, obey them.
As the blessed seed, we adhere to Deuteronomy 16:10, which reads:
And thou shalt keep the feast of weeks unto the Lord,Because our freewill offering must be according as the Lord,
, has blessed us, our Feast of Weeks freewill offering serves as an indication of how obedient we have been to His laws since the last Feast of Weeks. But, even more than that, it also serves as proof that
is a Man of His word; and He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and His seed is blessed (Psalm 37:26).
Join us--the blessed seed of
-in Montreal (Quebec), Canada, to celebrate The Feast of Weeks and to flaunt proudly your freewill offering you have received as a result of your obedience to the laws of
.

The Ten Plagues of Egypt, Part 15
This is the conclusion of the sixth plague of Egypt. Even after
told Moses and Aaron to turn to or devote themselves to a great number of volcanic eruptions to severely punish Pharaoh, it was divinely decreed that Pharaoh would remain pertinacious in his belief, and would not let the children of Israel go. For it was
Himself who again and again hardened the heart of Pharaoh, as written in Exodus, Chapter 9, verse 12:
And the Lord,The purpose of
hardening the heart of Pharaoh again and again was so that He could multiply His signs and wonders in the land of Egypt while, simultaneously, showing forth His divine power and absolute might. This is affirmed in Exodus, Chapter 7,verses 3 through 4:
[3] And I [Today,[4] But Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you, that I may lay My hand upon Egypt, ...
is hardening the heart of the President of the United States-George W. Bush-who is like unto Pharaoh of Egypt. President Bush has flagrantly refused to hearken unto the command of
to release His Firstborn Son,
, from the onerous restrictions that have been imposed upon Him by the U.S. Parole Commission. Therefore,
shall show forth His mighty signs and wonders in America by laying His hand upon her and by sending all His plagues upon President George W. Bush, his servants, and his people: so that President Bush may come to know clearly that there is none like
in all the Earth. This is declared in Exodus, Chapter 9, verses 13 through 14:
[13] And the Lord,Having established that fact, let us now see what[14] For I will at this time send all My plagues upon thine heart, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people; that thou mayest know that there is none like Me in all the earth.
shall do unto President George W. Bush as a result of him continuing to harden his heart. Exodus, Chapter 9, verse 15 reads:
For now I will stretch out My hand, that I may smite thee and thy people with pestilence; and thou shalt be cut off from the earth.In this Scripture,
Himself-not Moses and Aaron-is strongly admonishing President George W. Bush that in return for him continuing to harden his heart against the release of
, the Son of
, even after the sixth plague, then He shall "stretch out
'His' hand." According to Webster's New World Dictionary & Thesaurus, copyright 1998, Computer Software, the expression stretch out means "to extend"; while extend in the same reference source means "to prolong." Prolong is depicted as "to lengthen in time: continue" (as referenced in the Merriam Webster's 11thCollegiate Dictionary, copyright 2003, Computer Software). Also, the word hand, in The Oxford Universal Dictionary, copyright 1955, on page 860, is "denoted as control." On page 385, control is described as "the ability to rebuke"; and rebuke is "to express sharp disapproval of (someone) because of their behavior or actions."
Hence, this can be deduced to mean that
shall continue to express His sharp disapproval of President George W. Bush because of his arrogant behavior and unfavorable actions against the release of. Subsequently, the manner in which
shall continue to express His sharp disapproval of President George W. Bush is by smiting not only Him with pestilence, but also all His people.
The word smite means "to deal with harshly or to greatly trouble" (as documented in the Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary, copyright 1953, on page 799). So what exactly is pestilence? The Chamber's 21st Century Dictionary, copyright 1996, on page1035, describes pestilence as "a virulent epidemic." Virulent, on page 1585, means "an extremely rapid spreading disease." Even more, the Microsoft Encarta Premium 2006, copyright 1993-2005,Computer Software, clarifies that an epidemic is "an outbreak of contagious disease affecting an unusually large number of people or involving an extensive geographical area." It also states this under the word epidemic: " ... since the 1970s, a number of new diseases, including acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), Ebola hemorrhagic fever, hepatitis C, and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) have been identified. New drug-resistant strains of influenza, tuberculosis, meningitis, and cholera have also appeared, causing a resurgence in the number of cases of these diseases."
Based upon the veracity of these definitions, a plausible assertion can be made that the clause, "... that I may smite thee and thy people with pestilence ..." means this:
shall deal harshly with President George W. Bush and His people that He may greatly trouble them with outbreaks of extremely rapid spreading, contagious diseases that shall affect an unusually large number of people and involve an extensive geographical area. All this shall be done that the remainder of Exodus, Chapter9, verse 15 may be fulfilled:
"... and thou shalt be cut off from the earth."The phrase cut off means "to bring to an untimely end" (as referenced in The Cassell Concise Dictionary, copyright 1998, on page 358). The Webster's New World Dictionary & Thesaurus, copyright 1998, Computer Software, defines untimely as "premature." Premature is equivalent to "early"; while early means "sooner than expected or anticipated." The word end is synonymous to "death." In a simplified way, "...and thou shalt be cut off from the earth," means that all of these extremely rapid spreading, contagious diseases shall come upon America and bring death upon millions and millions of people sooner than the time expected or anticipated.
All of the above facts support the conclusion that
shall continue to express His sharp disapproval of President George W. Bush because of his arrogant behavior or unfavorable actions against the release of
. Consequently, shall deal harshly with President George W. Bush and the American people by greatly troubling them with outbreaks of extremely rapid spreading, contagious diseases. These rapid spreading and contagious diseases shall affect an unusually large number of people and shall also involve an extensive geographical area.
Even more than that, rapid spreading and contagious diseases-such as acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), Ebola hemorrhagic fever, hepatitis C, and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), and many more that we do not yet know about- shall widely affect not only President George W. Bush but also the American people. Moreover, there shall be a resurgence of old diseases with new drug resistant strains like influenza, tuberculosis, meningitis, and cholera, to name a few. All of these diseases shall overtake America and shall bring millions upon millions of people to early deaths-meaning deaths that shall happen sooner than expected or anticipated-"if" President George W. Bush remains insensitive and unresponsive to the decree of
concerning His Son,
.
shall bring all of these SIGNS and WONDERS upon America so that President Bush can come to the realization that it is in the best interest of him and the American people to release
, the Son of
, from the onerous restrictions that have been imposed upon Him by the U.S. Parole Commission. These great SIGNS and WONDERS shall prove to President George W. Bush that there is absolutely NONE LIKE UNTO
IN ALL THE EARTH.
Be on the lookout for our next article, as we shall begin to decrypt the seventh of "The Ten Plagues of Egypt." This will be one that you do not want to miss.
