Christians Should Support Constitutional Government

Christians Should Support Constitutional Government
By Chuck Baldwin
October 30, 2007

I was honored to speak before the National Committee of the Constitution Party on Thursday, October 25, 2007 in Council Bluffs, Iowa. Today's column is a condensed version of that address.

Daniel Webster is regarded as perhaps America's most notable jurist. Webster said, "Hold on, my friends, to the Constitution and to the Republic for which it stands. Miracles do not cluster, and what has happened once in 6000 years may not happen again. Hold on to the Constitution, for if the American Constitution should fail, there will be anarchy throughout the world."

He also said, "The hand that destroys the Constitution rends our Union asunder forever."

Please remember that this is the same Daniel Webster who said: "If we abide by the principles taught in the Bible, our country will go on prospering and to prosper; but if we and our posterity neglect its instruction and authority, no man can tell how sudden a catastrophe may overwhelm us and bury all our glory in profound obscurity."

You see how Daniel Webster (like most of America's founders) was a man with deeply-held Christian convictions. He believed the Bible. He was a devout believer. And he found no contradictions between the Bible and the Constitution. In fact, he believed (as do I) that the Constitution is the best safeguard for Christian liberty that we have.

When any constitutionally-elected officeholder assumes office, he or she promises to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States. They don't promise to represent "conservative principles" or to be "loyal to a political party," etc. The Constitution is the contract between "We the people" and our civil magistrates.

When you or I hire an electrician or plumber to do work for us, we sign a contract for specific work to be done. And at the end of the day, I really don't care whether he claims to be a Christian or where he goes to church or how religious he claims to be. When the work is finished, I want my lights to turn on and my toilet to flush. In other words, I expect him to live up to his contract.

When we elect people to public office, we should expect only one thing: that they uphold their contract to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States.

You see, adherence to the Constitution protects our freedom of speech and assembly; our freedom of worship; our right to keep and bear arms; our right to a trial by jury; the right to be secure in our own homes against police overreach; our right to witness for Christ in public, as a Christian; the right to own property; the right to not be deprived of life or property without due process of law; the right to face our accusers, and the right to keep government local and limited.

In fact, keeping government local and limited is the cornerstone doctrine of American government. In most nations, the federal government holds power over virtually every area of the lives of its people. Not so in America--at least, not in the America that was originally crafted.

Most of the problems that we are now dealing with socially, culturally, financially, etc., stem from America abandoning the basic founding principle that "the government that governs least governs best."

Accordingly, America's commitment to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness has been (and is being) systematically stripped from us--not by State legislatures, but mostly by agencies of the federal government.

Consider how it has been federal courts that have banned prayer in school, and legalized abortion and homosexual marriage. Even in the liberal State of Massachusetts it was the courts (along with a compliant liberal governor, Mitt Romney), that forced acceptance of homosexual marriage upon the people.

Today, we have federal departments and agencies almost without number. We have the Department of Education, the Department of Transportation, the Department of Energy, the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Agriculture, the Department of Commerce, the Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Department of Justice, the Department of Labor, the Department of State, the Department of the Treasury, the Department of the Interior, etc., etc., ad infinitum, ad nauseum.

Each and every federal department and agency, in its own way and for its own purposes, to one degree or another, ignores or violates constitutional government. And as a result, they contravene and strip away the rights and freedoms of States collectively and of the people individually.

The result of this gargantuan federal monstrosity includes back-breaking taxation and over-regulation, which fuel inflation, stymie productivity, and invite foreign influence.

One only has to observe how President Bush is now appealing to the U.S. Supreme Court on behalf of an illegal Mexican alien who raped and murdered two Houston, Texas teenagers, arguing that his death sentence should be overturned and that he should be given a new trial. Bush's reason? Illegal aliens should be under the authority of a UN "world court" instead of the State of Texas' authority.

Observe how Bush is pushing for amnesty for illegal aliens. See how he has merged these United States into a regional government by signing onto the Security and Prosperity Partnership agreement with Canada and Mexico. See how he is pushing for a NAFTA superhighway. Observe how he and other globalists are planning to replace the U.S. dollar with a regional, multinational currency called the Amero.

Furthermore, virtually every administration for the last fifty years has engaged in an aggressive nation-building foreign policy. (Can anyone say, "Iraq"?) In addition, in contradiction to the stated warnings of our nation's founders, they have actively pursued entangling alliances with unfriendly governments. The past three administrations in particular have deliberately steered our country down a path of multiculturalism, globalism, and elitism.

Pastors, especially, should fight for constitutional government! Do you preachers really think that there will be any room for the old-time Gospel when the globalists and elitists in the federal government have finished with their diabolical schemes?

Already, President Bush repeatedly tells us that Christians and Muslims--and all other religions--worship the same God. How long will you preachers be able to preach the narrow message of salvation, that Christ is the only way to Heaven, when Bush's doctrine of Universalism is the accepted religion? And make no mistake about it: Universalism is the national religion of the United Nations, the European Union, and the emerging North American Union.

The Department of Homeland Security is already holding seminars for pastors, instructing them how they should ask their congregants to turn in their firearms in the event that the President declares a national emergency. How many of you pastors are prepared to become an instrument of gun confiscation for global government?

This is what happens when we abandon constitutional government.

It is not enough that a candidate says he is a Christian. Every politician I know, or have ever known, says they are a Christian--at least every four years. It is not enough that a candidate carries a giant-print Bible to church. It is not enough that he says he prays or says that "faith is important."

The truth is, if the candidate is a sincere Christian, he or she will all the more readily obey his or her oath to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States. After all, does not our Lord tell us that our yea is to be yea and our nay is to be nay? In other words, genuine believers are to be true to their word. How, then, could a true Christian make a promise before God and the
American people to preserve, protect, and defend the U.S. Constitution and then turn around and ignore that promise? He couldn't.

Therefore, a professing believer who is elected to public office and then ignores his or her promise to the Constitution proves that he or she is not a true Christian but a phony who only uses a religious testimony to dupe Christians.

Take the issue of abortion, for example. Ron Paul proposed the "Sanctity of Life Act of 2005" (and 2007), which would require that "human life shall be deemed to exist from conception, without regard to race, sex, age, health, defect, or condition of dependency"

The bill also provides that "the Congress recognizes that each State has the authority to protect unborn children..." And that "the Supreme Court shall not have jurisdiction to review ...the performance of abortions; or the provision of public expenses of funds, facilities, personnel, or other assistance for the performance of abortions."

In other words, Dr. Paul understands that Article. III. Section. 2. of the U.S. Constitution gives to Congress the authority to rein in an abusive judiciary and take the issue of abortion (or homosexual marriage or fill in the blank) out from under the jurisdiction of the Court. This means that should Congressman Paul's bill become law, abortion on demand ends and Roe v Wade is overturned.

So, please tell me why, after having control of both houses of Congress and the White House for six years, did these "pro-life" Republicans in Congress and a "pro-life" President not pass Dr. Paul's bill? Why? Because they really do not give a hoot about abortion, but only use pro-life rhetoric to dupe conservative voters.

In addition, those conservatives who have followed President Bush's preemptive war doctrine are the ones who have abandoned historical conservative principles. Before G.W. Bush changed the landscape, conservatives--especially Christian conservatives--mostly subscribed to Augustine's "just war" theory regarding accepted protocols for the conduct of war. Today, however, many professing conservatives have foolishly followed Bush's "preemptive war" theory, which, before now, was practiced mostly by pagan emperors. As Christians, however, we should still subscribe to "just war."

In concert with "just war" philosophy (not to mention American history), Christians should agree with Ron Paul's approach to dealing with terrorists. He authored H.R. 3076, the September 11 Marque and Reprisal Act of 2001. According to Paul, "A letter of marque and reprisal is a constitutional tool specifically designed to give the president the authority to respond with appropriate force to those non-state actors who wage war against the United States while limiting his authority to only those responsible for the atrocities of that day. Such a limited authorization is consistent with the doctrine of just war and the practical aim of keeping Americans safe while minimizing the costs in blood and treasure of waging such an operation."

This is precisely what President Thomas Jefferson did when America's ships were confronted with Barbary pirates on the high seas.

If the United States government had listened to Ron Paul, we would not have lost nearly 4,000 American soldiers and Marines, spent over $1 trillion, and gotten bogged down in an endless civil war from which there is no equitable extraction. Furthermore, had we listened to Dr. Paul, Osama bin Laden would no doubt be dead, as would most of his al-Qaeda operatives, and we would be less vulnerable to future terrorist attacks, instead of being more vulnerable, which is the case today.

How can anyone say with a straight face that they are fighting a war on terrorism while at the same time doing absolutely nothing to secure our borders and ports?!

I submit that every true American, especially conservative Christians, should enthusiastically support constitutional government. I further believe that a President who would take his oath to the Constitution seriously would bring a new birth of freedom to America the likes of which has not been seen since 1776. May God give us such a man!

Is Michael Medved paranoid about Ron Paul?

Your Presidential campaign has drawn the enthusiastic support of an imposing collection of Neo-Nazis, White Supremacists, Holocaust Deniers, 9/11 “Truthers” and other paranoid and discredited conspiracists.

Do you welcome- or repudiate – the support of such factions?
*****************
If discredited and paranoid Michael Medved is so concerned about it, let him actually follow his Judaism to the Jewish Homeland of Israel and take the treacherous ACLU and its liberal ilk, and every other self-hating, defeatist, godless group and loathsome organization with him. What's he got to lose, especially if he fails to believe the Israeli oligarchy is under German-Jesuit control and guilty of murdering Yitzhak Rabin?

Once there, may God grant such swine repentance that they may lead holy lives in the holy land and confess and repent of the destruction they've wreaked around the world or drown in their own perdition.

I'm voting for RON PAUL, along with a diverse group of people who support his common sense.

God is Love (not a sadist)

God is not the sadist too many misrepresent Him to be, but He is Just and He is Love: Those who foolishly or wickedly reject His offer of eternal life through Yeshua will perish, will suffer the second death, will be reduced to ashes - completely destroyed (both body and soul in Gehenna Fire) - just like the Bible teaches.

What Jews under 35 feel towards Israel goes beyond apathy to outright resentment.

What else can be expected when rabbis have failed to teach that Judaism requires Jews to make the move to the Jewish Homeland, and that, at the very least, it hastens the coming of Mashiach?

If Jewish folks don't want to make aliyah they will die in the wilderness of exile physically and spiritually, as many already appear to be numbered among the living dead as Eretz Yisrael fails to enliven them with meaning and purpose to become a holy people and a "Light to all nations" - just like too many who live in Israel but whose hearts are far away, despising their biblical call and holy inheritance that Ishmael claims and the German-EU covets.

Christian Zionists

Christian Zionists believe and support the fulfillment of the many prophecies that foretold the restoration of Jews from all over the world to the Promised Land of Israel. Christian Zionists oppose those who would seek to undermine or destroy the Jewish Homeland for the myth of Palestine that is against the Word and Will of God.

Christian Zionists put many Jews and Israelis to shame, especially those who remain in a self-imposed exile contrary to the clear teachings of Judaism and those like Shimon Peres who are out in left field and would surrender Jerusalem to sworn enemies if the price is right.

Thankfully, the Two Witnesses (in the spirit of Elijah) will comfort captive Israel and Judah who will be humbled by the Time of Jacob's Trouble/the Great Tribulation (which includes Jerusalem's occupation for 3 1/2 years) and be prepared to receive Yeshua, Israel's King.

Barely a fortnight before, the Israeli establishment was shocked by the poll which revealed that:

Poll carried out last week by Teleseker of a representative sample of
500 Adult Israeli Jews for Maariv the week of 5 October 2007 and
published in Maariv on 8 October 2007. Statistical error 4.4 percentage points.

Percentage believing Yigal Amir's claim that he was not behind the murder: General population 28% Religious 46%

**
And how did the murdering mafia react? In the midst of an electronic barrage which attacked cable tv and the airport, the spin doctors wasted the dying nation's last resources by going into high gear to cover the truth. And it's not working. The latest poll of Israel's Right show that 71% believe in MY conspiracy thesis and only 15% still believe the government. (see Notes). Still they try. Oh how they try!
First, Maariv's Weekend magazine, put patsy Yigal Amir on its cover with a satirical jab at the poll results. All that did was prove, through the back door, that Israel did not believe its mafia governors. So the same paper was utilized to publish "an expose" that the police found explosives at the Amir home on the night of Rabin's murder.
And it only took 12 years to publish the "findings."
Hebrew readers and listeners, enjoy the coverup. Actually, even those ignorant of the holy tongue will enjoy photos of the event. The text proves the snitching cop was employed by the Secret Service (Shabak) from the night of the murder to whitewash it, but, unless you plan to learn Hebrew to read the site, you're stuck believing me. URL two is the government's tv station rehashing the big lie:

http://rotter.net/cgi-bin/forum/dcboard.cgi?az=show_thread&forum=gil&om=5856&omm=36&viewmode =

http://media.iba.org.il/?type=tvRecorded&site_code=0



Then, the Shabak called out its usual guns. Even if no one believes them anymore. It seems an unnamed American millionaire is backing a new movement, called, most originally, The Committee For Democracy, to rush to Amir's aid. Now, this committee believes Amir knocked off Rabin, but that's good as far as it's concerned. For years, I have been called a radical "Right Winger" by the Israeli media, even though many of my views actually reflect a leftist or centrist view. The reason is Shabak manipulation of the Rabin murder into a Right Wing cause. In fact, to understand Rabin's demise, one has to believe in the objective truth cause.

The new committee is composed of three "activists." We will skip Noam Federman who may be a minor patsy. But the other two committee members are dangerous operators. For an in-depth investigation of their activities, buy my book Bye Bye Gaza. If you keep reading, you'll get the details.

Avigdor Eskin organized a highly publicized reading of a death curse, The Pulsa Dinara, outside Rabin's house a month before the murder. On Amir's 30th birthday, he brought a birthday cake to Beersheva Prison where, somehow, most fortunately, media film men were there to record him pummeling a cab driver who objected to his birthday celebration.

But most frightening, Eskin was the matchmaker between Amir and his lovely screwball bride, Larissa Trimbobler.

Amir never married Larissa There was never a rabbi, a witness, nor a ring in prison.There is no license at City Hall... Just like Jonathan Pollard's "marriage" to Esther. But because some Rabbi somewhere found a loophole, he decided he was married. But that does not give him any legal right to conjugal visits. He is watched 24 hours on camera, so HOW did he get Larissa knocked up?

Yes, we now learn, he did so because he wants to be at his son's brit (circumcision.) Someway, he impregnated his lovely "bride." Leave it be said, without high level cooperation, this pregnancy would not have happened. And it certainly stops unsightly gossip of how he agreed to betray his "friends" as a Shabak stoolie.

The story of Larissa is weird. She left her hubby and 4 kiddies with his blessing to "marry" Yigal. But at last report, she lives in the same home as her "real" family. Such is domestic bliss in Israel.

Committee "activist" two is Itamar Ben Gvir. He was used to deflate any resistance to the pullout of Jews from Gaza. In doing so, he left some 400 people incriminated by the police. Two of the victims, Daniel Pinner and Shimshon Cytryn, who faced serious assault charges, are still too dumb to understand that they were had by him. Others now know it. As Jonathan S., a former Hebron "radical" tells me, "I'm really not surprised. I always suspected he was. His actions are just too provoking and counterproductive to be for real. He's never actually done any serious actions that have accomplished anything, just got his picture taken in the newspaper enough times."

After his role in defeating the Jews of Gaza was exposed, numerous sources named Ben Gvir as a Shabak agent, including the newspapers Hatsofe, Makor Rishon, activist Nadia Matar, Knesset Member Arieh Eldad, and me. He threatened to sue Hatsofe but satisfied himself with Eldad and me. Eldad issued a public and humiliating apology, but I refused. So in preparation for my trial, I contacted a close associate of Eldad's, who lives in Efat. He agreed to tell me: "Arye was a sitting member of the Knesset Committee on Security And Foreign Affairs. So was, then, Shabak head Avi Dichter. He stood up and told Dichter, 'How dare you plant a lowlife agent like Ben Gvir in the National Camp.' Dichter rose and answered, "I swear he's not one of ours. He works for Police Intelligence.'

And out they rolled, after Maariv revealed that almost a third of secular Israelis and half the religious, told pollsters they believe Rabin was rubbed out in a conspiracy, by inference, of Shabak head Carmi Gillon, bodyguard Yoram Rubin and led by President Shimon, Feh, Ich, Peres.

With me temporarily out of the picture, the Rabin murder truth is run in Israel by egotistical hacks, each hoping to gain a little notoriety with wrongheaded ideas about what happened. But I'll be in New York on the evening of Nov. 3 with the facts on paper and videotape. Join me.

Australia's John Howard

Is Australia’s John Howard the last of the West’s true statesmen?

Most Israelites aren't Jews

"DID YOU KNOW THAT....."

According to the Bible ten out of the twelve tribes of Israel split away (1-Kings 12:19), formed their own kingdom of "Israel" (1-Kings 12:20) and were exiled by the Assyrians (2-Kings 17:18). They forget their identity (Hosea 1:9 7:8 Isaiah 49:21) and became the Lost Ten Tribes. In the future they will re-unite with the Jews (Ezekiel 37, Isaiah 11:13 Jeremiah 3:18) of "Judah", but until then they have a role of their own to fulfill. They were destined to be situated at the continental extremities of the earth such as North America, the British Isles, Scandinavia, the Netherlands, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa (Deuteronomy 33:13 Isaiah 24:16 26:15 41:8-9 49:6), to be the richest (Genesis 27:28 49:25 Deuteronomy 33:13-16 Hosea 2:8), and most powerful (Numbers 24:8-7 Micah 5:7-9) nations on earth and to control major international strategic bases (Genesis 22:16-17 24:60). All of these points together with numerous others show that descendants of the Lost Ten Tribes can only be found amongst Western Nations especially the English-speaking ones. The correctness of our interpretation of the relevant verses, and your destiny, may depend upon this information. You need to know! www.britam.org

Sneak Preview of the Kingdom of God!

Sneak Preview of the Kingdom of God!

If I may, as God is my Witness and Judge, when I was only 17 years young, God UNEXPECTEDLY gave me a VISION while I was in prayer. I was within that vision as a glorified Spirit-Being, whiter than glistening snow and like a brilliant white cloud with the sun shining on it, appearing smooth, dressed in a white robe - even my hair was that brilliant white - holding a Book in my hands and teaching two flesh and blood mortals who were sitting on the ground, in an outdoor setting like a park or meadow.

I was leaning over near them, showing them something from the Book. Mind you that this MIRACLE occurred before I had ever heard of Herbert W. Armstrong and his biblical teaching that we're to become glorified Priest-Kings, teaching in the Kingdom of God, immortals ruling over mortals with but under Christ! (Revelation 2:26, 3:21, 20:6).

The Kingdom of God is the Royal Family of God administering the Government of God, with God's Word as the foundation for every family and standard for all nations (Isaiah 9:7, Daniel 7:18, 27).

At that time I still believed in the traditional born again and Heaven and Hell myths, so I didn't really know what to think of the vision. Over a year later, when I attended one of my first Sabbath services with the Worldwide Church of God (1978), the minister was preaching about how we'll be God-Beings teaching human-beings. I about fell out of my chair! It was as if he was describing the very vision God had given little ol' me!

That inspiring sermon was further confirmation to me that this Church of God (with its God-given Sabbath and holy days, special recognition of Northwestern Europeans and Anglo-Saxons as the "Lost 10 Tribes," the Gospel of the Kingdom, etc.) was indeed God's Church and not like the baptized paganism of traditional Churchianity! (It's sad to say the WCG went astray after Herbert Armstrong's death, but thankfully the faithful Church of God members left that organization of deceitful men to remain true to God and the plain truth of the Bible rather than return to Egypt).

My following minister, George Kackos, whom I later told about the vision, and who baptized me on the Sabbath day, June 9, 1979 (12 years after Jerusalem's liberation), told me that the vision was biblical and that God has also given a "sneak preview" of His Kingdom to Peter, James and John, with their VISION of the TRANSFIGURATION:

Matthew 17:1-9
1 Now after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, led them up on a high mountain by themselves; 2 and He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light. 3 And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him. 4 Then Peter answered and said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here; if You wish, let us make here three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” 5 While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them; and suddenly a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear Him!” 6 And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces and were greatly afraid. 7 But Jesus came and touched them and said, “Arise, and do not be afraid.” 8 When they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus only. 9 Now as they came down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, “Tell the VISION to no one until the Son of Man is risen from the dead.”

I dared to declare to Mr. Kackos that my vision was actually greater because God had showed them a glorified/transfigured Christ, Moses and Elijah, but mine was more personalized because God revealed ME in His Kingdom!

I am an eyewitness to the Kingdom of God and know what it means to be in the Kingdom of God, both from the Bible and personal experience! (2 Peter 1:16-18). Flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom, but at the Resurrection we'll be BORN AGAIN as GLORIFIED SPIRIT BEINGS - just like our older Brother, Jesus Christ (Romans 8:29, I Corinthians 15:49-52, Philippians 3:21).

The vision appeared to emphasize the big difference between mortals and immortals; the great contrast between flesh and blood and brilliant Spirit. And, as I later used during a Worldwide Church of God Spokesman's Club speech on serving in the Churchill Room at the Hillcrest in Toledo, Ohio, I mentioned this vision and noted that even though we're to be given THRONES (which I did not see), those thrones are to enable us to use our positions for GREATER SERVICE, out of love for God and mankind.

God did not show me merely sitting on a throne, but out serving others, teaching, helping, explaining. Mr. Kackos then gave his usual round up speech/mini-sermon, on the importance of tempering authority with humility, and said that, amazingly, I had done just that. I had related the vision as a fact, but wasn't boasting about it.

I look forward, by God's grace, to entering His wonderful Kingdom and meeting those two people I saw in 1977! It'll truly be BACK TO THE FUTURE!

David Pack & the Restored Church of God


I'm aware of David Pack, Pastor General of the Restored Church of God. I also remember clearly how he didn't even know me when he was with the Global Church of God (that I visited once) but said most people who change their names are off-the-wall (something to that effect) and felt I should take my former name of David Hoover back and should seriously consider it as he contacted his superiors (they must have told him to back off as he never brought it up again).

After I thought and prayed about it - rejecting David Ben-Ariel for David Hoover as David Pack sternly suggested - I rejected the notion and questioned how anybody inspired by the Holy Spirit would make such a demand, as I honestly consider David Ben-Ariel my God-given Name, as I've written.

I also remember clearly how David Pack said to me, when I was being honest about my past, troublesome times when I was backslidden in some areas, that he thought I was never converted! Unlike Jesus who offers constructive criticism, who encourages you with the good and calls upon you to change for the better, all David Pack did was tear down and seek to destroy! That was not the Holy Spirit of God working through him.

Before this experience, David Pack had come at my request and visited with me and several other friends who had gathered to hear what he had to say in Toledo, Ohio. We were invited to the one service of his we attended in Ohio. He brought a box of materials the Worldwide Church of God no longer printed to make a statement. We all felt Gerald Flurry had already made that statement and was the first to do so, even though we hadn't yet attended with the Philadelphia Church of God.

When four of us visited with the Global Church of God, my friend Carl gave him a copy of his booklet against abortion and I gave him one of my booklets (either God and the Gays - the first of its kind in the Church of God, or "Religion in America - the REAL Danger" now incorporated into Beyond Babylon: Europe's Rise and Fall) he acted very interested, but later told me he never met a more proud person than Carl! Carl didn't appear proud at all and was merely happy to do whatever he could to help expose and end the evil of abortion.

When David Pack said something to the effect that the Global Church of God was not for me, I asked him why he invited me then and he then acknowledged he only invited me along with the others because he felt they were good candidates for membership. In other words, he was being deceitful. Since then I've heard horrible stories about his pack of lies and hope it's not true but suspect that it is, due to my own eye-opening experience with him.

I trust there are true Church of God members among the Restored Church of God flock, as with the other groups of scattered brethren, and I hope God spares them from such wolves and that they maintain, first and foremost, a personal relationship with the Shepherd of our souls, and not trust in any man for salvation.

I've seen some of the attractive literature the Restored Church of God offers, but doubt that I will link to it. I hope David Pack has repented of his sins that God may restore him and help him heal those whom he's sickened and be reconciled with both God and man.

God-given Names

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.

It also required that I take out a small ad in a newspaper announcing my intentions 30 days beforehand. I placed my ad in the Bowling Green Sentinel. I also had to appear before a judge (it depends on what county you were born) for him to privately question my motivations. He was assured by my lawyer that I wasn’t running from the law or trying to escape some outstanding debt, but that my reasons were religious in nature.

The judge accepted that but wanted to impress upon me that I could have "trouble" with that name in America, without elaborating. I felt he meant because it was Jewish and/or could be difficult for some to know how to pronounce. I told him I wasn’t concerned about it since I planned on moving to Israel anyway.

My reasons for changing my name were religious in nature. Why? Because I honestly feel that Ben-Ariel is a God-given name. And why would I feel that way? Because after a Hebrew class where my teacher mentioned how many people change their names when they move to Israel, I went home wondering what surname I would have in Israel, knowing my first name is already Hebrew.

I had always liked the Hebrew last name of Ben-Ammi, after reading it in Leon Uris’ book Exodus, since it means "son of my people," but while thinking about it and wondering what name my father would’ve given me, if he would’ve given me a Hebrew name, I didn’t know. I then knelt down in prayer and asked God what name, IF ANY, would He give me since He's my Heavenly Father, and I couldn’t ask my dad because he died when I was twelve.

I expected God to perhaps lead or guide or influence me to like a particular name, but immediately ARIEL flashed into my mind and immediately I rejected it. Why? Because it means "the Lion of God" and I felt such a name only belongs to Jesus Christ, the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. While wondering about the name of Ariel, I remembered that Israel’s defense minister was Ariel Sharon (whom I’ve since met in Jerusalem and Hebron). I reluctantly decided to keep the name in reserve (since it was really impressed upon me!) until God or circumstances might lead me to accept another, and went to bed.

The Bible mentions MANY INCIDENTS where God chose to change someone’s name or to name them before their birth. It is unusual but it’s not unscriptural. There was Abraham, Sarah, and Isaac (Gen. 17:5, 15, 19); Ishmael (Gen. 16:11); Solomon (I Chron. 22:9) and Solomon’s nickname Jedidiah (2 Sam. 12:25); Cyrus (Isa. 44:28; 45:4); John the Baptist (Luke 1:13); Jesus (Matt. 1:21); Peter and the two brothers James and John whom Jesus nicknamed "sons of thunder" (Mark 3:16-17); just to name a few. God promises to give us each a new and unique name in the Kingdom, either in place of or in addition to our current one (Rev. 2:17), as well as sharing Jesus’ new name and bearing the Father’s name as Priest-Kings (Rev. 3:12, 14; Ex. 28:36; Lev. 8:9).

God has many name or titles, descriptive of His wonderful qualities and characteristics (Isa. 9:6). The Jews even teach that God’s Hebrew name Elohim (literally Gods) is plural due to the fact that God is too great to be constrained to one name, and is used in the sense of the royal "We." That’s why Elohim said "let us...." We understand that it’s also because there’s presently two God-Beings in the one Kingdom of God, like Adam and Eve were two separate people who both shared the surname Adam as one family unit (Gen. 2:24; 5:2; John 10:30).

God has His reasons why He would change someone’s name and who are we to question Him? The April 1980 issue of The Good News magazine (published by the Worldwide Church of God) carried an article called "History of the Church" that helps us to understand why Jesus changed Simon’s name to Peter: "...and He gave him a surname prophetic of the moral and spiritual strength he would eventually demonstrate. Jesus bestowed upon him the new name, before he had earned it that it might be an incentive to him to realize what Jesus had expected." After going to bed, about to fall asleep, Isaiah 29:1 flashed into my mind. What’s amazing is that I had never memorized that Scripture! It reveals that Ariel is a nickname for JERUSALEM!

I now understand why God the Father had chosen Ariel for me. Anyone who knows me knows that Jerusalem is always on my mind (Jer. 51:50), especially after my first visit there to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot) in 1980. God has shown me that He’s stirred me up and given me a burning desire for Jerusalem and Israel (Isa. 62:1, 6-7). I finally realized that God was calling me a "SON OF JERUSALEM."

I got out of bed, got down on my knees with tears in my eyes, and thanked God for truly knowing us inside and out, just like His Word says, and embraced the new name God had given me! I also accepted it as a SPIRITUAL GOAL: to live worthy of one named after holy Jerusalem and all that it ideally represents. I end my prayers facing Jerusalem every night with "Yerushalayim shel Zahav" (Jerusalem of Gold), a plea for Jerusalem to fulfill its calling (2 Chron. 6:38-39; Dan. 6:10).

Later, I began to understand how Ariel can also refer to Judah and King David. Since my family tree is traced back to the British and Scottish Royal Families (the Royal House of David) it’s also befitting that Ben-Ariel can mean "son of David" and "son of Judah" (whose tribal emblem is the lion). I’m convinced that the God of the Bible, the God of Israel, and the God of my forefather David, has blessed me with the name of Ariel. Even if I chose Ariel for myself -- which I did not, I originally objected to it -- there wouldn’t be any harm in that since such a practice is Biblical: "One shall say, I am the LORD’S; and another shall call himself by the name of Jacob; and another shall subscribe with his hand unto the LORD, and surname himself by the name of Israel" (Isa. 44:5).

God surnamed me Ariel back around 1982, however it wasn’t until 1989 that I finally changed my name legally. I knew that even though God had given me the name that I didn’t necessarily have to change my name. I was also hesitant to do so because I am the only son and the only Hoover males alive (that I’m aware of) were my grandfather and myself. I didn’t want the name to die out, not that I’m married and have any sons anyway (although God assures His "eunuchs" that we’ll be given excellent and eternal names - Isa. 56:5). I began to see that Hoover was possibly an Anglicized form of the German Huber (since many immigrants changed their names upon arrival in America). I also didn’t want to hurt or offend my grandfather (Arthur Hoover of Risingsun, Ohio) or possibly get disinherited, but I made up my mind that since I was about to seek citizenship in Israel, starting a new chapter in our family history, I was going to take the lead and change my name. My grandfather ended up dying about four months before the fact, unaware of what I planned to do. So now I’ve been David Ben-Ariel for years and my family and friends are used to it.

My God-given name is ESTABLISHED BEFORE GOD who mentions Jerusalem twice in it: the City of David and Ariel.

"The Real Truth" can't handle the plain truth

Apparently the plain truth I posted (Hope for Zimbabwe: Restore Rhodesia!) is too hard to handle for "The Real Truth" who had the chutzpah to respond with demands and outdated information (my God-given Name is David Ben-Ariel), further exposing their failure to teach the Word of God courageously.

The God of the Bible says those who hold back their sword from bloodshed are cursed, and "the righteous are as bold as a lion." Certainly such a Great God, the God of Jacob-Israel (is that racist - too ethnocentric?), doesn't want to be associated with those who are more fearful of what the PC cult thinks about them than God. And they're miffed that a lowly lay member isn't afraid to expose their emperor (magazine, leader and organization) has no clothes.

David Hoover:

Kindly remove our author’s byline and promo from your website. We do not want to be associated with the incredibly amateurish, ignorant and racist tripe you disseminate on your blog.

Your presumption to be some sort of teacher is ridiculous. Anyone who would describe Jesus Christ’s gospel of the kingdom of God as “pie in the sky”—never mind with an expletive!—could not possibly understand even the fundamentals of Scripture or Christianity.

David, do not write us ever again.

"I will never return to South Africa"

Zimbabwe is in ruins because of black misrule and the sins of white Israelites that empowered them. Whites are only to rule or manage those countries God has given us as part of our biblical inheritance. Rhodesia is one of those. South Africa is another.

Amanda said...

I am a white South African living in the States, my family and I are seeking asylum as we feel so strongly that we have to run from our home or suffer a horrible fate. I have three beautiful children who deserve to live in safety, get a good education and have bright futures. South Africa can offer none of these things, I lived with my head in the sand for many years in the hope that things would improve. I was a fool.
I pray that God bless all the homes of fellow white South Africans and may he keep you all safe from harm.
As for me and my family I pray that God will hold us tight and deliver us into our new home where ever that may be.
(I will never return to South Africa.)

German Originality

A Welcome Letter from

The German Ambassador

With the launch of the Web site germanoriginality.com, the German Information Center USA, the German National Tourist Office and all their partners now make it more exciting than ever before to discover America's German heritage.

German-Americans comprise the largest ethnic group in the United States: More than 42 million Americans, almost 15 percent of the population, claim German ancestry. As America celebrates the 400th anniversary of the Jamestown settlement, we remember that Germans were among the first courageous pioneers to arrive in 1608.

Today, germanoriginality.com extends an invitation to Americans from all walks of life to come visit and learn about the contribution Americans of German ancestry have made to the social fabric, culture and economy of the United States – and to discover Germany "as it was… and is today."

Hope for Zimbabwe: Restore Rhodesia!

By Kevin D. Denee

As Zimbabwe teeters on the verge of total collapse, millions of lives are at stake—yet there is still hope for this African nation.

******************

"Pie in the sky" bullshit. The author could have revealed cause and effect - loss of white Israelite rule due to sin and/or persecution - and call for national repentance and the restoration of Rhodesia with proper Israelite rule (Dan. 9:11, Malachi 4:4).

Such idiotic articles are an insult to the power of the Word of God that has inspired others to make history, exercising faith and works, God blessing their efforts - not just passively waiting for the Kingdom of God to do everything for us. God helps those who help themselves.
