GET THEE OUT OF THY COUNTRY
PART III
Praise
Praise
All the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and majesty, belongs to the Lord,
: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is His; the kingdom is His, and He is exalted as head above all. Both riches and honor come from
, and He reigns over all; and in His hand is power and might; and in His hand it is to make great, and to give strength unto all. Now therefore, our God,
, we thank Thee and praise Thy glorious name (1 Chronicles 29:11-13). Thou art worthy, O Lord,
, to receive glory and honor and power: for Thou hast created all things, and for Thy pleasure they are and were created. He is our life sustainer and we must ask Him to forever keep us in His plans. Therefore, we must pray without ceasing, to God
, and we are much obliged to give thanks to Him everyday for any blessings that He has bestowed upon us. Praise
Praise
To become the saints of
, the elect of
, and the chosen of
we must believe, receive, and accept
as the Son.
speaks the words of
, therefore, the Father loves the Son, and hath given all things into His hands. He that believeth on the Son,
hath, everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of
shall abide on him (John 3:34-36).
Furthermore, whosoever denies the Son, hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledges the Son hath the Father also. I pray that all of you have accepted, this undeniable truth, and are awaiting His return. In that case, let us all look forward to our restoration from the lost sheep of the House of Israel to the Royal Priesthood with our Messiah,
, who shall reign as the Everlasting King of the Earth. Praise
Praise
For therein is the righteousness of
revealed from faith alone: as it is written, the just shall live by faith in
(Romans 1:17). If you believe there is one God,
; then you do well: the devils also believe and tremble. But, will you know, O vain man, that faith in
without works is dead? For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also (James 2:19-24, 26).
Hear ye, O Israel, as it is written you must not only have faith in
, you must also have works. Wherefore, the Son of Man shall come in the glory of His Father with His angels and He shall reward every man according to his works. In Revelations, Chapter 2, verse 26,
says, "And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations." Praise
Praise
Today, I am delighted to share my joy of being here at our Twenty-Eighth Annual Passover/Feast of Unleavened Bread 6011, in which we are engulfing our minds in the wisdom and knowledge pertaining to our great feast, and participating daily in the meditation of the laws of
through our profound family study sessions. Therefore, I welcome you to this joyous occasion and also to part three of this seminar entitled, "Get Thee Out of Thy Country." Praise
Praise
In the first and second parts of this seminar, we took a profoundly impassionate journey back into the time of our patriarchal father, Abraham, who proved himself by good works (James 2:21). The initial purpose of this seminar originated from our efforts to gain an understanding as to why
commanded him to get out of his country by decoding Genesis, Chapter 12, verse 1. To add to that, with great success, we pursued and uncovered some of the triumphs that Abraham was able to achieve and sustain by obeying the voice of
. Lastly, we began to draw a parallel between our father, Abraham's past journey and our present journey today as his children.
With that said, before we review what we acquired through our previous studies, let us take a moment to open our Bibles and turn to our foundation Scripture, Genesis, Chapter 12, verse 1. (We will replace the name Abram with Abraham since we know that
changed his name.) Let us read:
"Now the LORD,
, had said unto Abra[ham], Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will show thee":
From the decoding of this verse, in our previous seminars, we discovered that we have a direct lineage to our righteous father Abraham, as the so-called black man of America, who are descendants of slaves. Thereby, we are to inherit the land that
Himself promised unto us and primarily selected for our residence. Nevertheless, we shall receive this land as our inheritance only by leading godly, morally upright lives, outside of our familiar place or residence (America), away from our unrighteous relatives, and totally away from members of our family who worship the false gods of America.
On top of that, we determined that we must mentally prepare ourselves by diligently keeping the laws of
, as taught by
, so that we may walk with Him as His friends. Then and only then, at the appointed time of
, will He guide us into the land
promised unto our forefathers. Moreover, this land of promise--identified as being filled with goodly cities, unlimited natural resources, and flowing with milk and honey--shall be presented only to the righteous individuals who are identified as the friends of
and His Son,
. Praise
Praise
Further on, we confirmed that if you truly believe in
, and in the teachings of His Son,
, and look forward to leading a godly, morally upright life in your own land, then you along with all righteous souls, will continually and without fail keep the laws, statutes, judgments, and commandments of
, akin to our father, Abraham. And, through times past, Abraham's steadfast faith in the instructions he received from
allowed him and righteous members of his family to have a safe journey to the land
revealed unto him. Provided that Abraham followed the precise instructions and special information of our benevolent Father,
, he was promised something in return. Respectively, let us read Genesis, Chapter 12, verses 2 through 3, to find out what it was. Please read:
2 "And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed."
Praise
Praise
This is the point where we shall begin our seminar study today. During this seminar, we shall focus on the first of the two Scriptures. Hence, let us begin with the first phrase in Genesis, Chapter 12, verse 2, which reads, "And I will make of thee a great nation,...."
Based on the well acclaimed Random House Webster's College Dictionary, copyright 1999, Computer Software, the word and is defined as, "then." Then is described "as a consequence." And the Webster's New World Dictionary and Thesaurus, copyright 1998, Computer Software, classifies a consequence as, "a result of an action."
These supporting facts denote that as a result of Abraham carrying out the action of immediately departing from his usual place of residence, to the land of his inheritance,
promised that He ... "will make of him a great nation, and He will bless him, and make his name great; and he shall be a blessing." Now, let us take a moment to decipher the word will in this Scripture.
In conformity with The American Heritage Dictionary, copyright 2000, Computer Software, will is defined as, "a desire especially of one in authority." Accordingly, our Omnipotent God,
, who is the highest in authority, power, and rank has a desire to make Abraham a great nation. Even more, His desire is described in the Noah Webster's Dictionary, copyright 1828, Computer Edition, as a, "passion excited by the love of an object and its attainment." Love means, "to delight or take pleasure in." An object is a, "purpose"; and attainment is synonymous to, "fulfillment" (according to the Webster's New World Dictionary & Thesaurus, copyright 1998, Computer Software).
Based upon these facts, we can state that as a result of Abraham's swift departure out of his country to the land that
selected for his inheritance, our most powerful God,
, revealed that He would take pleasure in making him a great nation. Moreover, it shall be a delight to God,
, because He is very passionate about the fulfillment of His divine purpose for Abraham. Let us turn to and read Isaiah, Chapter 46, verse 10:
"Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure":
Therefore, if
declared that He shall make Abraham a great nation, then it shall stand and He will do His pleasure. That being the case, let us find out why it is pleasing and delightful to
to make Abraham a great nation in the land of his inheritance. Let us turn to and read Genesis, Chapter 26, verse 5:
"Because that Abraham obeyed My voice, and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My law."
Let us also read Genesis 17, verse 7:
"And I will establish my covenant between Me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee."
These Scriptures give credence to the fact that our father, Abraham, kept all the laws, statutes, judgments, and commandments of
. He also, carried out the divine charge from
by immediately departing out of his country, to the land that
selected for his inheritance. For these reasons,
was delighted to establish this covenant with him. By the same token,
was so pleased with Abraham obeying His voice that as a result, He blessed him, and additionally established this same covenant with his seed and the generations after them forever.
Given these essentials, we identified in our previous seminars, with Scriptural and documented evidence, who the seed of Abraham is this day. Our findings testified the whole story, that the so-called black man of America, who are descendants of slaves from the tribe of Judah, are the blessed seed of Abraham, which is you and I who are here this day. On this account, we can express that we must be as our father, Abraham, and keep the laws, statutes, judgments, and commandments of
this day. Beyond that, we must also obey the voice of
, and carry out the action of immediately departing out of America, to a land that He shall guide us to for an inheritance. The end result shall be that,
, shall with great delight and pleasure perform the oath which He passionately swore unto our father, Abraham, and make us [his seed] a great nation, as well. Praise
Praise
With that said, let us consult the authorities on the word make to uncover how
shall fulfill his promise to Abraham and make us a great nation in this day. In accordance with the New Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible, copyright 1990, under the reference number 6213, the Hebrew expression for make is
(Ayin, Sin, Hey), pronounced ah-sah. Two of its meanings are, "bestow and appoint." We shall first explore the word bestow. To bestow, under the reference number 5414, means, "to ordain." Ordain in the Webster's New World Dictionary & Thesaurus, copyright 1998, Computer Software, is equivalent to, "predetermine and predestine." The word bestow professes that,
predetermined that we would become a great nation. He also predestined our existence, here this day, so that He might take pleasure in the fulfillment of this promise to our father, Abraham.
Moving on to our second meaning for the word "make,"
shall also appoint us to become a great nation. Appoint in the Encarta Reference Library, copyright 1993-2003, Computer Software, declares that
shall "select a group of people for an official position to do a particular job; while, Webster's New World Dictionary & Thesaurus, copyright 1998, Computer Software, official denotes, "a position in authority." Authority is equivalent to, "royalty, headship, and throne." We can affirm from these facts that
delightfully predestined and selected all of us who keep His laws to be placed in royal positions that shall be directly under the throne of
. He also predetermined that as a great nation, our headship positions will consist of one particular job. This particular job is defined within the word authority.
In The American Heritage Talking Dictionary and Thesaurus, copyright 1997, Computer Software, to have authority (from the word appoint) further delineates, "the power to enforce laws and exact obedience." This is to say that, the particular job that
selected for us, as the seed of Abraham, from the tribe of Judah, shall be to enforce His laws. Moreover, He predetermined that He shall endow us with the power to exact obedience to His laws in all the earth (Psalm 60:7).
So plainly stated, we shall be the authorities. However, in the aforementioned source to be an authority also means that we shall be "specialist" in the laws of
. That being so, in order to be a great nation of rulers and law givers under the throne of
,
requires us to specialize in or "master" His laws. And, to master the laws of
implies that we must, "learn (them) thoroughly, acquire skill in (them), become proficient in (them), and lastly we must know (the law) inside and out," (according to the Synonym Finder by J.I. Rodale, copyright 1978.) Praise
Praise
At this point, we have established that it would please
to see the fulfillment of His divine purpose for Abraham and his seed, which is all of us here this day. Because of Abraham obeying the voice of
,
predetermined our destiny as the tribe of Judah to become a great nation of rulers and lawgivers. We can only become this great nation by us mastering the laws of
and by the covenant that He made with our father, Abraham. Again, let us look at the word make from another perspective in the phrase, "And I will make of thee a great nation...."
In the New Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible, copyright 1990, under the reference number 6213, the word make also means to "grant." Thus, before
fulfills His desire and places us in rulership positions as a great nation, He revealed unto Abraham that He would first grant something to us. Contingent on The American Heritage Dictionary, copyright 2000, Computer Software, our definition of grant, means "to transfer property by deed." Revolving on these facts,
promised our father, Abraham, that before we become a great nation, He will transfer our property (the land we are to inherit) by deed.
Deed in the Webster's New World Dictionary & Thesaurus, copyright 1998, Computer Software, is defined in Law as a, "document under seal which, when delivered, transfers a present interest in property." Now, I have two questions: First, what book contains documents (such as: records, Scriptures and chronicles) that have been sealed? [The Bible!] And, who is worthy to open the book (Revelation 5:5)? [ ] Praise
Strictly speaking, the Holy Bible was sealed and when
prevailed to open the book He also delivered something. Delivered in the aforementioned source means, "to utter or express in words." It also means, "sent by messenger." Therefore,
opened the book and simultaneously uttered or expressed in words a message that was sent by
. This message that
uttered transferred a present interest in property. Interest means, "claim to something." So, in agreement with all these facts,
gave us a message, sent by
, that transferred our documented claim to the property He gave to our father, Abraham--the Promised Land. Please turn to Malachi, Chapter 3, verse 1, to uncover, the divine message that
sent:
"Behold, I will send My messenger, and He shall prepare the way before Me: and the Lord,
, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to His temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, He shall come, saith the LORD,
, of hosts."
This passage along with our facts verifies that
sent
as the Messenger of the Covenant that He made with our father, Abraham. Now, I would like everyone to hold up their Bibles. What we are holding in our hands contains the documents of our legal entitlement and deed to the Promised Land, where we shall become a great nation. By all means,
predetermined and predestined everything all the way from the beginning and it is all for His pleasure. He even made sure that the covenant made with our forefather was documented or written in past times, for proof and evidence of it, today. Praise
Praise
On that note,
not only promised our father, Abraham that he would give us the Promised Land through His divine covenant, but He further promised that afterward He would make us a "great nation." In addition, to us becoming a great nation, He shall give us royal power and full authority to enforce His laws. However, this will only take place if we positively master all of the laws, statutes, judgments, and commandments of
. In that regard let us do a detailed study to describe the "great nation" that
has predestinated us and also promised Abraham that we shall become in the Promised Land (as found in Genesis, Chapter 12, verses 2 through 3).
Therefore, let us begin with the word great, then the word nation. Documented in the New Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible, copyright 1990, under the reference number 1419, the word great means, "high and mighty." The Noah Webster's Dictionary, copyright 1828, Computer Edition, describes the word high as, "having risen or being above the earth." The earth is representative of "all the peoples of the world," (according to The Synonym Finder by J.I. Rodale, copyright 1978). Henceforth,
has all ready predetermined that we shall be the rulers and the law givers. Plus, with these new found facts we can assert that in the land of our inheritance we shall be a nation that shall rise or be above all people of the world.
In relation to these facts, to be a mighty nation of people, deriving from the word great, in the same source means that we shall be, "eminent in intellect." While, eminent is synonymous to, "outstanding." Intellect is defined as, "minds or intelligent persons, collectively," in the Webster's New World Dictionary & Thesaurus, copyright 1998, Computer Software. According to these truths, we can see that
has additionally, predetermined that we must become a nation outstanding in minds and intelligent persons that act collectively or with one accord. Evidently, this shall cause us to rise above all nations and all people of the world.
The word intellect also connotes our, "ability to learn, reason, and to think profoundly," as referenced in The American Heritage Talking Dictionary, copyright 1997, Computer Software. All things considered,
has already determined that, in our own land we shall fulfill His divine purpose and the promise He made to Abraham. After all, because our forefather showed, by example, the manner in which we are to keep the laws of
,
revealed to him that He would absolutely delight and take pleasure in selecting us (his seed) for rulership positions. Be that as it may, our mastering the laws of
will provide us with the superior ability to learn, reason, and think profoundly forming righteous judgments, and this shall qualify us for rulership. Besides, before time
decided that we as one nation shall be full of intelligent minds and people. In fact, our ability to process and think showing deep insight and understanding, shall be profoundly above all persons on the earth. Praise
Praise
With that said, let us continue with our studies of Genesis, Chapter 2, verse 3, on the phrase, "And I will make of thee a great nation." Seeing that
promised Abraham that He would select and predestine his seed to be the one nation of people that shall rule the earth and all the nations thereof, let us elucidate on the word nation. A nation is relative to a "tribe," and a tribe is the same as "family," (according to the Webster's New World Dictionary & Thesaurus, copyright 1998, Computer Software). As the matter stands,
declared to our father, Abraham, that his family shall be the one family, on the entire earth, that shall rule all people of the world with superior insight and understanding. And, that family or group of people shall be you and I, whose divine lineage runs down from Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. More specifically, the descent from the tribe of Judah, the so-called black man of America, who are descendants of slaves (Jeremiah 14:2; 13:19 and 1 Chronicles 28:4). Praise
Praise
This is the same lineage and family that the Messiah,
, descended from. Proof of this fact can be found in Matthew, Chapter 1, verses 1 through 2. Let us turn to and read these Scriptures:
1 "The book of the generation of Christ,
, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
2 Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Juda[h] and his brethren;"
Praise
Praise
All things considered from the words great and nation, we are the one family of people who
chose to rule all the people of the world with superior insight, profound reasoning, and absolute righteous judgment. What's more, our royal lineage stems from Adam down to our Messiah,
. Praise
Praise
In all, because our farther, Abraham, obeyed the voice of
,
blessed him with a divine promise that would carry on through (us) his seed if we keep the laws like him. By virtue of these truths,
also revealed within His covenant that in the Promised Land, He would not just cause us to be rulers and lawgivers, but, He further promised to bless us, as well as, make our name great, and we shall be a blessing.
Following this line of thought, in our reference Scripture Genesis, Chapter 12, verse 2, let us reveal how
shall bless us as this outstanding family of rulers and lawgivers. On the approval of the Merriam-Webster's 11th Collegiate Dictionary, copyright 2003, Computer Software, bless means, "to confer prosperity." In other words, in our own land,
has additionally vowed to confer unto us prosperity, which is an (over) abundance of resources, wealth, comfort, luxuries, opulence, and riches (as referenced in The American Heritage Talking Dictionary and Thesaurus, Copyright 1997, Computer Software). For more particulars let us read Deuteronomy, Chapter 8, verse 18, starting after the colon:
"...: for it is He [God,
] that giveth thee power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day."
Praise
Praise
For that reason, as it is this day,
has predetermined that He shall give us the power, through our divine intellect and acquired through our mastering His laws, to become the wealthiest family on the earth and establish the covenant that He swore unto our father, Abraham. However, surpassing even His divine blessing, our benevolent God,
, promised to change the current state of our name (as the so-called black man of America--descendants of slaves) to one that is great and thereupon, we shall be a blessing.
In light of these testimonies, let us disclose what a name that is great signifies. Documented in the Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible, copyright 1990, under the reference number 8034, the Hebrew transliteration of name is, (Shin, Mem-Sofet) and it is pronounced, "shame." Shame is defined as, "renown and report." Substantiated in The American Heritage Talking Dictionary and Thesaurus, renown is delineative of, "reputation." Reputation is described as, "the general estimation in which a person is held by the public." While, report in the Encarta Reference Library, copyright 1993-2003, Computer Software, means, "character." Report also means to, "tell people news using media; to find out facts and tell people about them in print or a broadcast: BROADCASTING PRESS."
Hanging on to these definitions, we can calculate that
is going to change our present reputation in the eyes of the public to something that is great. And He will also change the general estimation that is held of our people--the so-called blacks of America--by all other nations that is printed, broadcasted, and displayed constantly by this wicked world's Broadcasting Press. In the book, Now Is the Judgment of This World, copyright 1996, on page 29,
states that, "Without the knowledge of
, we have a reputation around the earth of being a dishonest people: of being liars and thieves, robbers and muggers, a people of ill-repute. That is our reputation around the planet earth. All people are warned to stay away from us, and stay away from our neighborhoods because that is the mark we carry as a people." Priase
Praise
Let us turn to our Holy Scriptures to find out what
advises will change this type of reputation. Please turn to Proverbs, Chapter 14, verse 34:
"Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people."
Therefore,
promised our father, Abraham, that He shall change our terrible reputation and sinful character in the eyes of all nations into one that is full of righteousness and greatness. This means that our reputation as a people shall be one that is of nobility, grandeur, majesty, and honor. You can even envision that
shall make our repute celebrated, highly regarded and honorable. This shall, in turn, cause us to be exalted and praised in all the media, on every airway, and in all the broadcasting and printed press. In truth, our constant display of righteousness, wisdom, and knowledge concerning the laws of
shown in our behaviors, actions, and lifestyles shall be an example that all nations shall follow. We shall be so righteous, that our enforcement of His laws through our rulership shall be a blessing to the nations. For the law of
is perfect in converting [every man's] soul (Psalms 19:7). Praise
Praise
Therefore, let us delve into the word blessing to discover what else being a blessing to the nations truly entails. To be a blessing to all nations means that we are a gift bestowed by God,
, that brings happiness to the world (according to the Random House Webster's College Dictionary, copyright 2004, Computer Software). Even more, in the Collin's Cobuild English Dictionary, copyright 2003, Computer Software "a blessing is something good that you are grateful for." So, in essence,
promised our father, Abraham, that our righteous rulership under His laws shall be a good gift that all nations of the earth shall be grateful for. An example can be found in Isaiah, Chapter 55, verse 5, which reads in part,..."nations that knew [us] not shall run unto [us] because of the LORD,
, [our] God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he hath glorified [us].
Respectively, all nations shall run to us because we have the Holy One of Israel,
, our God, in our midst and He has glorified us. Without doubt the nations shall come, because in times past we were not a people, but in the Promised Land we shall be the people of God,
. And we had not obtained mercy, but now in this day have obtained mercy through our keeping the laws of
.
revealed all this to our father, Abraham, because He predetermined that we, like Abraham, would obey His voice and thereby He shall fulfill His divine covenant that He established also with us (you and I who are alive this day). Praise
Praise
On that note, in conclusion of the whole matter of this seminar focusing exclusively on Genesis, Chapter 12, verse 2, we can state definitively that our God,
, made a covenant with our father, Abraham. In this covenant
promised that He would bless him and his seed after him because our father, Abraham, obeyed His voice and kept his charge of immediately departing out of his country, to the land that
selected for his inheritance. Even more, our righteous forefather diligently kept all of the laws, statutes, judgments, and commandments of
and, as a result,
revealed unto him that he would delight and take pleasure in making him a great nation.
Unquestionably, as the seed of Abraham we determined, that at the appointed time of
, we must obey His voice and perform the action that our father, Abraham, did and immediately depart out of our familiar place (America), away from unrighteous relatives, and totally away from members of our family who worship the false gods of America. Furthermore, at the appointed time of
, He will guide us to the land we are to inherit. And, when we depart we must have our title--the Bible--in hand, which is the recorded deed to the land promised by
to us as the seed of Abraham. Our following the command of
shall make way for the fulfillment of the covenant that He made with our forefathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (Israel) today. We shall be the rulers of the nations and lawgivers only if we obey the voice of
as our father, Abraham, did as well as, all of our forefathers in the past.
We can summarize, that we shall also be the only family on earth that is outstanding in all wisdom, knowledge and understanding. Be mindful, that for these reasons all nations shall look to us for righteous judgment and they shall say, "Surely they are a wise and understanding people" (Deuteronomy 4:6). Moreover, with a deed from God Himself to the Promise land, we shall dwell in the land that He gave to our forefathers. And, in the long run, on our land
shall cause us to have the highest luxuries, wealth, and opulence. For in that day,
shall cause us to be on every broadcasting station of the world and all nations shall surely see that the Lamb of
,
, dwells with us and He shall rule as the everlasting King of the earth and we shall rule with Him. However, under the throne of
we shall have the specific job to give and enforce obedience to the laws of
. Praise
Praise
Before we end, let us read Genesis, Chapter 12, verse 3, to find out what
shall do for all nations once we become the rulers over the whole earth. Genesis, Chapter 12, verse 3, please read:
"And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed."
Praise
Praise
It has been an honor to share these studies with those of you who shall be the future rulers (kings and queens) of the earth. I pray that you enjoyed this seminar and will take hold on your duty to master all of the laws of
, so at the appointed time that
, the Bridegroom, cometh, you might be ready for rulership (Matthew 25). Lastly, I urge you to enjoy in the remainder of our 28th Annual Passover/ Feast of Unleavened Bread 6011 with an open mind and heart. Praise
