| THE SABBATH
June 16,2001
To the Church of God: and to the saints in America, and in South Africa, and in the West Indies, and in the other regions of the world: and to all who are called to be saints of Christ: All Hail: Is it well with thee?: I am well in the Spirit of the Most High God. May Jah, Allah, and the Almighty (they all be the same): bless you, and keep you, and make His face to shine upon you. May He comfort you in your suffering: and heal you from your sickness: and redeem you from your sins: and bless you with the kingdom of heaven. May His Omnipotence endure forever and ever: and His Name be forever the Glory of Israel.
To my Hebrew brethren, and my Muslim brothers, and the Filipino saints, and the African saints, and the Spanish saints, and the Indian saints, and the European saints: May the Lord add a blessing to all who read and hear His Holy word. For the hour come, and now is, for all that honor the Lords Day on the first day of the week to repent, and keep the seventh day Sabbath as Jesus Christ kept the seventh day Sabbath. And if there be a man quoting Colossians 2:16, to justify his transgression of the Sabbath: let his voice be the voice of a fool, and of an ignorant, and of death with hell following. For the words of no man in the Holy Bible are greater, nor equal to, the words of Jesus Christ. And what did Jesus say, If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Fathers commandments, and abide in his love (St. John 15:10). So if Jesus kept the commandments of God, then we are to keep the commandments of God and Christ, as it is written.
Now I heard a man say, What commandments of God are we to keep? God commanded Noah to build an ark, so should we to build an ark? Listen to the ignorance of that man who thinks he speaks with intelligence. But here is wisdom: If God had commanded us to build an ark, then it would be necessary for us to build an ark: but God commanded Noah only to build an ark: but for all who are called to his house of prayer to keep the Ten Commandments. So it is necessary for us all, both Jew and Gentile, to keep the Ten Commandments of God. For the light given to the Gentiles, which is Jesus Christ, is the commandments of God and Christ. For Jesus said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me. If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself (St. John 7:16-17). So according to the word of Jesus Christ, the doctrine he brought was the will of God. And what be the will of God, but the Ten Commandments and the commandments of Christ. I see no need for the interpretation of the will of God: common sense tells us that the will of God is the commandments of God. And Jesus Christ himself said that he kept the commandments of his Father: therefore he kept the Ten Commandments.
If a man love God with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his mind, then he will keep the commandments of God. And if there be a man that say, The Ten Commandments were given to the Jews to observe and not the Gentiles. I say unto that man and all who agree, When the Lord opened His house as a house of prayer for all people, which was foretold by the prophet Isaiah, It was also said, The sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the LORD, to serve him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant; Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer (Isaiah 56:6-7). Thus, all people that seek the salvation of God must keep the Sabbath, which is Saturday and not Sunday: and must take hold of the covenant, which are Jewish customs and not Gentile customs. These words are not my own, nor is the interpretation: for there is no interpretation for that which is plainly written. There is nothing to debate: for if the word is God, then the word is Final and Strict.
Why say that I am twisting the Scriptures, when I only speak what is written? Why say that I am strict in my interpretations of the Scriptures, which I interpret not, but recite what is written? Why even say that I am strict in the Scriptures, when God is strict, and the Scriptures is God?
One of the things that lead to the confusion and misrepresentation of the Scriptures is the various versions of the bible. Let us put away all versions of the Holy Bible save the Authorized King James Version: for vital words have been changed in the other versions to alter the original meaning. Even the New King James Version, which they say was done to make the reading easier, comes with deceit and subtle changes. Here is an example: It is written in the Authorized King James Version, For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day (Hebrews 4:8). But it is written in the New King James Version, which they say was done to make the reading easier than old English, For if Joshua had given them rest, then He would not afterward have spoken of another day . Reading Hebrews 4:8 according to the New King James Version: replaces the name of Jesus with Joshua; also by capitalizing He and placing He in front of would, leads the reader to believe that God spoke of another day for rest. Beware my brothers and sisters: for Satan is filled with cunning ideas: such is how she has deceived the whole world. Let us therefore recite only from the Scriptures of the Authorized King James Version: for all other versions are not of the Holy Bible: because they come with spots and wrinkles.
My Friends: Satan is playing mind games with subtle words such as Christianity, which if the truth be known is anti-Christian traditions, because true Christian traditions are Gentiles observing Jewish traditions. Also, Colossians 2:16, which was written by Paul, was written because the saints in Colosse were beset with paganism, which are the traditions of men that Christianity honor; including Sunday worship. So Paul gave the saints in Colosse leniency, as he gave all converted Gentiles leniency, to preserve their sainthood. For the apostle Paul was not sent to minister the new testament by the letter (II Corinthians 3:6) to the Gentiles: because if he had followed the new testament by the letter, then lives would have been condemned instead of saved. Surely Paul did not teach the Gentiles to break one of Gods commandments: For Jesus said, Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: (St. Matthew 5:19). Paul did no such thing: but as he was so commanded by God, to teach the spirit of the new testament to the Gentiles, and the letter of the new testament to the Jews. For the Gentiles were a genealogy of heathens: so by the grace of God they were given leniency like the Jews were given mercy, until perfect come, which is the hour at hand. For I Cornelius, a servant of the Lord, who is as weak as a soaked piece of bread without the Spirit of Christ, am sent in the Spirit of Truth, and as the Holy Ghost in flesh, to preach the true gospel (perfect) of Christ to all nations, that the nations of the earth might repent from the traditions of men, and from their fables.
Let the true worshippers come forward and make themselves known: for I am given the mind and the blood of Christ, to teach the true gospel of Christ, and to spill the blood of Christ for the remission of sins. And I am not sent to overlook any flesh, neither any man. I am sent to preach in places where I am not welcomed, that one among them might be saved. I am sent in love and in hate: in love for all of Gods creatures: and in hate for the deeds and traditions of Christianity, which are lies in the name of Christ, and cunningly devised fables (Santa Claus and Easter Bunny).
I tell you no lie, the Gentile (the Devil) is candid with the people of the earth: for what be their abbreviation of Christmas, but X-mas. I ask you, Why would the Gentile cross out Christ in his abbreviation of Christmas, which according to them is the greatest day of the year, unless he hate the name of Christ. Surely the Gentile is candid and bold before the inhabitants of the earth: for I even see a day for fools on his calendar.
Now let us open our Holy Bibles, which be the Authorized King James Version, and let us Read and Hear the last word of Paul, which in the New King James Version is listed as an unknown author: but we know better: because we have read the Stone of Truth: so we read only from the Authorized King James Version, which names Paul as the author of Hebrews.
This is my Sermon my brethrens on this day of rest, which is the only day of rest that the Lord has made as a day of rest: thus, let us open our bibles to Hebrews 4:1-11 and Read: LET us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works. And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest. Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entereth not in because of unbelief: Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts. For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day. There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. Let us labor therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief .
For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day. There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God .
This Scripture need no interpretation: It is clear: Remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labor and do all thy work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath day of the Lord thy God, and a day of solemn rest.
So Repent! : And come out of Sunday School and enter Sabbath School: for the seventh day is Saturday; even on the Gentile calendar.
I tell you no lie: the earth has been hoodwinked by the cunningness of the un-repenting Gentile, who preach the love of Christ, but with the customs of paganism: this thing called Christianity, which be the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes, and the doctrine the Lord hate (Revelation 2:15).
If this be the first of my Sermons heard by a man, let him read the Sermon Archives and the Stone of Truth with open eyes and common sense, and the truth shall set him free from the indoctrination of Christianity, which the ministers of Satan indoctrinated on all the earth. I speak only the Truth: so humble yourself to the Truth and repent. For why call Jesus, Lord, and do not what Jesus say?
My brethrens, and all who are called to be saints of Christ: let us not labor on the Sabbath day: but give rest and relaxation to the Lord our God. And if a man be forced to labor for the sake of employment, let the faith of his religion stand as the reason to change his day off. But if he still be forced to labor on the Sabbath, then let that days salary be given to charity (let a man read the sermon on charity). For Jesus said, It is lawful to do well on the Sabbath days: such as charity and to save life (St. Luke 6:9). For charity is indeed greater than faith (I Corinthians 13:13): and to save life is the wisdom of the law.
So if a man volunteer his labor on the Sabbath, he has not transgressed: but if a man labor on the Sabbath for a salary, and do not give that salary to a charity that benefit the saints that are in need, then that man has transgressed.
And if a man labor on the Sabbath for a salary to pay his debts to the Gentile, then he labor without faith and trust in the Lord. For Jesus said, Seek not what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. For all these things do the nations of the earth seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things. But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you (St. Luke 12:29-31). And what say the Disciples Prayer: And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors (St. Matthew 6:12).
Now I know it is hard for a man to carry that faith: but such is the faith needed to find the kingdom of God. For one may break the Sabbath by laboring on the Sabbath and keeping the days salary for food on his own table or the payment of his own debts: but that food on his table nor those paid debts will get him into the kingdom of God.
And you may keep the Sabbath by not laboring, or by laboring and giving the days salary to a worthy charity (a charity that benefit the saints in need): but in the hour of the great tribulation, which hour is nigh, you receive the mark of the beast, because you did not hold the faith of Luke 12:29-31 to the end: You cannot enter the kingdom of God; because no man can enter the kingdom of God with the mark of the beast.
Surely your road to the kingdom of God is one of great tribulation: unlike any the world has seen. Unless a man hold fast to Luke 12:29-31, he shall not prevail: for all who are called to be saints of Christ must first be tested as gold is tested before they can be refined as silver is refined. How can a man endure the days of the beast, which are forty and two months, when he cannot sacrifice a days pay?
Surely the sacrifice into the kingdom of God is not the blood of animals: but the blood of ourselves: and the faith of Christ (Luke 12:29-31).
Think not that you can hide your thoughts or your actions from God because you might with men. For it is written: The word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do (Hebrews 4:12-13). Amen.
All things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do .
How powerful are those words my brethren: All things are naked and opened to the eyes of God. Therefore not even your thoughts are secret from God, whos will we have to do to live forevermore. Yea for sure: the Lord God our Father has sent me with the last will and testament of Jesus Christ: which is life for those that obey the commandments of God and Christ: and death for those that obey not.
I tell you this: no man shall walk with me save he that hold the faith of St. Luke 12:29-31. For the disciples of Jesus came from the earth to be in heaven: but the apostles of the Lamb come from heaven to be on the earth. Thus, they are like unto me: without doubt and filled with faith to endure longsuffering. For many are called to stand beside me, but only a few are chosen by the Lord to fulfill that honor. For the twelve apostles of the Lamb are holy men, that will not linger in my death, but continue in their own footsteps, which is to preserve the tribe bestowed upon them. And they shall not consider the thought to deny the name of Christ, nor my name, nor the name of any saint: for these are faithful men without doubt: that lay down their life for the gospel of Christ, and for their friends.
If a man follow me, he follow not me, but Christ. If a man turn away from me, he turn not from me, but Christ. If a man speak against me, he speak not against me, but the Holy Ghost. If a man slay me, he slay not me, but that which be dead already. If a man fear death, death shall overtake him. If a man fear the beast, the man is not worthy of Christ.
I Cornelius, Son of man, stand in the midst of beasts: surrounded by them that dwell with the ideas of the devil, who are patiently waiting for me to make a mistake, and deliberately misleading the reader in their effort to discredit me. Do they not know that I have no hypocrisy in me: neither any errs from my mouth or actions? But like hyenas wait for scraps to fall from a kill in a tree, so do they wait; but in vain. For I have not suffered so long, and endured so many days, to fail now that the hour is at hand. Verily, I shall not be among them, that shall not taste death till they see the kingdom of God (St. Luke 9:27), which come not with observation, but is within you (St. Luke 17:20-21).
Brethrens of mine: The kingdom of God is at hand: let us put on the armor of God, that we may be able to stand in that great day of the Lord, which reapeth Judgment on all the earth. Let the Stone of Truth be in one hand, and the Seven Keys in the other, and the Lambs book of life in the forehead, and the faith of Jesus Christ as the heart: and you shall pass through the fire like Jesus walked on water.
Let a man repent and obey the Sabbath: for today is the day to enter into the rest of the Lord. So if I wash my car today; or paint my house today; or plant in my garden today; or cut my grass today; then I have broken the Sabbath. But if I wash the feet of another today as I wash my body today, I have not broken the Sabbath, but saved a life with the armor of baptism. Let wisdom be applied to all things: for it is not unlawful to eat or drink on the Sabbath, neither to do any emergency labor, nor any charitable work. But let the charitable work be the work of good things for the Lord: and let the emergency be an emergency and not that which can be put off till the next day. And let it be known, that, it is not unlawful for children to play on the Sabbath: but it is unlawful for the supervisors of their activity to receive pay.
Now if a man should say, Jesus broke the Sabbath. I say unto that man and all who agree, How can Jesus break the Sabbath when the Son of man is Lord of the Sabbath (St. Mark 2:28)?
Now if a man should ask, Must I enter a church on the Sabbath? I say unto that man and all who seek an answer: The temple of God is the body and the church of God is the mind. If a man seek a building on the Sabbath for the sake of assembly, let it be an assembly of true saints, which are the saints of the true doctrine of Christ: or let him fellowship in his own house, or in the house of a fellow brethren, with the reading of Scriptures and a testimony for Jesus Christ in the Spirit of Prophecy. For we are not living in the days of the prophets; nor of the apostles; but the regeneration of Jesus Christ.
To the tabernacles of the Prophet Crowdy in the land of America: Though you keep the Sabbath and recite the Seven Keys, you shall not receive your reward without the Lambs book of life in your forehead: for without the book of life you shall in no wise be free from the second death, which is perdition.
To the tabernacles in the Cape Colonies of South Africa that keep the name of Jesus Christ: I know you keep the Sabbath, and of your faith in Prophet Enoch J. Mgijima, and of the Bulhoek Massacre of 1921, and of the memorials built at the Massacre site near Queenstown. Nevertheless, your current leadership is not without fault: Therefore not I, but Christ, command Bishop Jehu Mzimkhulu to repent: for your homosexuality is not hidden from his sight. And to the African Diocese for the tabernacles of the Prophet Crowdy: Bishop S.J. Ntshangase: You did not speak against me to my face: but read the Lambs book of life and held the thought that I might come from the sanctity of heaven. Thus, not I, but Christ, charge you to lead the disciples of Truth throughout the land of South Africa, that even the heathen in the hills might hear the True Gospel of Christ.
To the tabernacles of the West Indies, which is overseen by Bishop Long of Kingston: I sent you the Lambs book of life, yet, you responded not. So I shall treat you as I treat any that respond not to the voice of Truth. Think not that your place is safe because you keep the Sabbath and hold the Seven Keys: For without the Lambs book of life there is no strength to turn the keys that open the gates of heaven.
To the so-called black people in America, and in South Africa, and in the West Indies, that worship as gentiles, but are Jews: Repent; and come home to the Church of God and Saints of Christ, which is where I stand, which is the foundation of the prophets and the apostles with Jesus Christ as the chief cornerstone. For as a gentile you cannot stand: neither a Gentile that remains a Gentile.
To all the Gentiles of the earth: Repent from Sunday as the Sabbath: for the true Sabbath begin at sundown on Friday and end at sundown on Saturday. And that a man might know how hallowed be the Sabbath: Jesus said, But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day (St. Matthew 24:20).
Surely I have not come to baptize any in a church without spot or wrinkle. So I send no man to a building save one that has been cleansed of its spots and pressed of its wrinkles. And where be that building: for if there be one: such has not been made known to me.
May Jah, and Allah, and the Almighty; for they all be the same: add a blessing to the hearer and doer of His Holy Word. Amen. And let one say: So be it.
