The
Ulster Covenant 1912 - 2001
Some eighty nine years ago on 28 September 1912 some 450,000 Ulster Protestants,
men and women signed a Solemn League and Covenant never to allow loyal
Ulster to be detached from the United Kingdom or to become part of a priest-ridden
Irish state. Our ancestors were men and women of courage and determination.
They knew that “HOME RULE” really meant “ROME RULE”
and many signed the Covenant in their own blood to show their determination
to resist even unto death. They were not prepared to give up their precious
Civil and Religious Liberties. They committed their righteous cause unto
the Almighty and the Covenant stated - “humbly relying on the God
whom our forefathers trusted”. Not only the people, and their politicians
but also leaders of all the main Protestant churches signed. God heard
and answered the prayers of the Israel people in this corner of the Emerald
Isle.
But - we forget our God and His Holy Law and what a sad and sorry state
Ulster is in today. Our ancestors sacrifices and struggles are forgotten
and the representatives of murder and mayhem sit in the Government of
our Land.
Make - Ulster Day 28 September a Solemn Day of Prayer -fasting and Repentence.
JOEL
2:15 - l8 & 21

Wise
Words from C. H. Spurgeon January 1873
The sooner we let
Archbishops and Cardinals know, that we are aware of their designs, and
will in nothing co-operate with them; the better for us and for our Country:-
Of course we shall be howled at as Bigots, but we can afford to smile.
At that cry - when it comes from a church which invented the Inquisition.
“No Peace with Rome” is the motto of reason as well as Religion.

SURVEY: GERMANS CONSIDER FEW OF TEN COMMANDMENTS
IMPORTANT
(RNS)
- Few of thc Ten Commandments are important to most Germans, according
to a survey published by Der Spiegel magazine.
The commandment, “I am the Lord your God.You shall have no other
gods before me,” was found to be the least important one, with only
33 percent of those surveyed considering it important.
“Only four of Christianity’s Ten Commandments are viewed as
significant by almost all German men and women,” the magazine said.
“A much higher number of Germans find it important to honour their
parents than to be faithful to their spouse.”
Ninety-seven percent of those surveyed said they accepted thc commandment
“You shall not kill.” Other commandments that most acccepted
were those that addressed honouring parents and not stealing. But there
was less agreement on sexual morality. 75 percent said it was important
to condemn adultery. The magazine, whose findings were reported by the
Adventist News Network Bulletin, also said few people accepted the commandment
“You shall remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy.”
“Only
18 percent of Catholics and 5 percent of Protestants regularly attend
worship,” said Holger Teubert, spokesman for the Seventh.day Adventist
Church in Germany. “It is therefore not surprising that the observance
of the day of rest in this country today has only little importance.”
Ekkehardt Mueller, associate director of the Adventist Church’s Biblical
Research Institute, said he found the survey results “distressing.”
“God gave us the commandments to help guide us, and if we disregard
them, it will be our loss,” he said.
The Hamburg-based magazine, which means “The Mirror.” published
ihc results of a survey by the Emnid Institute in Bielefeld, Germany.
UNITARIAN
CHURCHES USING WICCAN RITUALS
Three
Unitarian congregations in the United States have begun using Wiccan rituals
and referring to a goddess in their services. The latest to do this is
Pleasant Valley Unitarian Universalist Church in Garland. Texas. They
light candles representing “the elements of earth, air, fire, and
water” and the sermons focus on natural and earthly themes.
“Brethren,
be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us
for an
example. (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you
even weeping that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: Whose end
is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their
shame, who mind earthly things.)” - PHILIPPIANS 3: 17-19
A
NEW SERVICE OF THE MODERN CHURCH
It was
covered on “Special Report,” a program on the Fox News Channel
(satellite and cable) on June 14, 2001, that the Episcopal Church had
recently established a new DIVORCE SERVICE for use by member churches.
A spokesman for the Episcopal Church stated that “people get married
in church and they should get divorced in church.” In the photo essay,
the pictures showed an ex-husband and wife and several children hugging
with a priest of the church standing behind the group. So much for the
sanctity of marriage in the modern church. Other church denominations
are considering a similar service.

LOOK
UNTO THE ROCK
The Bible contains four
Divine Documents, the substance of which are our legal rights for expecting
the intervention of Almighty God in the affairs of deluded, frustrated,
frightened humanity
These Divine Documents, to which we call your attention, are the Abrahamic,
Mosaic, Davidic and the New Covenant.
These documents are concerned primarily with one family and their development
into nationhood. God selected this family for ultimate, service to all the
families of mankind.
"You only have I known of all the families of the earth
... For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God.. the LORD thy God
hath chosen thee to be a special people unto Himself above all people
that are upon the face of the earth... in thee shall all the families
of the earth be blessed ... thou, Israel, art My servant, Jacob whom I
have chosen, the seed of Abraham My friend ... Fear thou not, for I am
with thee: be not dismayed, for I am thy God. I will strengthen thee:
yea, I will help thee: yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of
My righteousness... I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and
will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant
of the people, for a light of the Gentiles . . . This people have I formed
for
Myself; they shall shew forth My praise ... I will also give thee for
a light to the
Gentiles, that thou mayest be My salvation unto the end of the earth.”
- (AMOS 3: 2; DEUTERONOMY 7: 6; GENESIS
12: 3; ISAIAH 41: 8,10; 42: 6; 43: 21; 49: 6)
God swore under oath that this one family, would become “a
great people” and “a
multitude of nations.” - (GENESIS
22:16-18; HEBREWS 6:13) God said, “Let
them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth. “
- (GENESIS 48:16)
Their beginning was in Palestine but, in the Davidic Covenant, the LORD
swore that He would move these people out of Palestine into their ‘appointed
place’ which was in the West.
“Moreover
I will appoint a place for My people Israel, and will plant them, that
they may dwell in a place of their own, and move no more ... and thou
shalt spread abroad to the west... ” - (
II SAMUEL 7: 10; GENESIS 28:14)
The Bible states that:
“the children of Israel shall abide many days without a king,
and without a prince, and without a sacrifice, and without an image,
and without an ephod, and without teraphim: Afterward shall the children
of Israel return, and seek the LORD their God, and David their king;
and shall fear the LORD and His goodness in the latter days ... Yet
the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea,
which cannot be measured nor numbered: and it shall come to pass, that
instead of that where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, there
it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living God. Then
shall the children of Judah and the children of Israel be gathered together...”
- (HOSEA 3: 4-5; 1:10-11)
The apostle Paul wrote from Rome to the Israelites
who had departed from Palestine and were, in his day, en route to the
‘appointed place’, that...“
blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles
be come in.” - (ROMANS 11:25)
You and
I are living in the generation witnessing the non-Israelite Gentile nations
coming into their own, as is obvious at the UN where they are now clamouring
for an authoritative voice in world affairs and whose voting power equals
that of US!
Every real student of His story knows from whence the Anglo-Saxon race
came. Originating as the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob Israel, they
were carried off into captivity by Assyria and Babylonia from which only
a portion returned from the Babylonian captivity to the land of their
fathers. (Read II Kings 17) Lost and absorbed among their captors, yet
ever migrating Westward under the Divine urge, they became known as a
people by such names as: “Saka, Scythia, Scythian, Beth-Omri, Bit-Kumri,
Sakai, Sacae, Sakasuna, Kimmerians, Cimmerians, Gimmirians, Danaoi, Iberians,
Hibernians, Goths, Normans, Saxons, etc.”
Most of us can trace our forefathers back to the Isles and Western Europe,
but where did their forefathers before them migrate from? (Israel always
migrated WESTWARD in accordance with God’s prophetic order.)
When Jesus Christ appeared upon the scene as Israel’s Redeemer, He
commanded His disciples: “... Go not into
the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye
not. But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” -
(MATTHEW 10:5-6)
Take
your own Bible in hand and trace the missionary journeys of Saint Paul,
noting that he moved Westward, as did Christianity!
The Apostle James addressed his epistle, NOT TO THE CHURCH, but to “..the
twelve tribes scattered abroad... ” -
(JAMES 1:1) The Apostle Peter wrote these same dispersed Israelites,
telling them of thcir NATIONAL REDEMPTION and PERSONAL SALVATION through
the “precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb
without blemish and without spot: Who verily was foreordained before the
foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you.
” - (I PETER 1: 19-20)
Peter addresses them as “strangers scattered
throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia.”
- (I PETER 1: 1) St Paul followed the Israelites
to Italy and over into Spain. - (ROMANS 15: 24,
28)
As Israel moved Westward, the glorious Message of her Saviour followed.
Did you ever stop to consider the fact that the religion of the Anglo-Saxon
world is CHRISTIANITY... not Roman Catholicism, but CHRISTIANITY?!!
Israel protested the ambitions of the religo-political leaders of the
Gentile system and refused to be held, or brought, into religious bondage.
The Anglo-Saxon nations of Western Europe PROTESTED and were henceforth
called ‘Protestants.’ They refuse to recognize any earthly
Vicar of Christ and know that there is ONLY ONE MEDIATOR between God and
mankind, even Jesus Christ our LORD.
The Gentile nations are, in most instances, yet in bondage to this religio-political
system, called in the Bible “. . . the great
whore that sitteth upon many waters: With whom the kings of the earth
have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been
made drunk with the wine of her fornication...MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT,
THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.”
- (REVELATION 17: 1-2, 5)
No Protestant nation in Europe has embraced Communism in order to escape
the religio-political oppression of this harlot system. Israel has refused
to deny her God. The HEATHEN NATIONS have refused to desert their idols
while the GENTILE NATIONS have been, for many years, the pawn in the hand
of those who would usurp Christ’s Authority and, in order to escape
this bondage, have fled into the darkness behind the iron curtain . .
. There was nowhere else they could flee, for Israel, God’s light-bearer,
had moved West and the light left behind had long since been extinguished
by Rome.
The hour has come when Modern Israel must RE-INVESTIGATE her FourDivine
Documents and RE-DISCOVER her destiny as a race! The whole world is even
now sitting on our doorstep waiting for us to rub the sleepy blindness
from our eyes and busy ourselves in finding out what God hath ordained
we, as His Servant Race, must do to lead the world out of the ever-increasing
dilemma.
I am sure we are all in agreement when I call your attention to the fact
God’s Word speaks freely about the great Empires and Kingdoms of
the past. Assyria, Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, Rome, Egypt and others
are all embraced in the Message of’ God’s Word. Didn’t
Almighty God foresee America? In power and wealth, we exceed the combined
resources of all these others. God gave to us as our appointed place a
most blessed continent all of our own, the shores of which are protected
by the greatest oceans of the seven seas. Our natural ‘resources
enable us to help feed, clothe and house much of the rest of the world.
Our institutions of learning, in both medicine and science, are sought
out by the future leaders of these fields from all countries.
We are the champions of the underdog. We are the saviours of humanity
in time of war, pestilence, plague or disaster. All others come to us
for help and assistance of’ every nature. The missionaries from our
churches have carried the Gospel of Jesus Christ and His Kingdom to the
remote corners of the earth.
America’s wealth and prosperity, and her position of influence in
the world have nothing to do with her cleverness or ingenuity The God
of Israel, who ‘watcheth over His Word to perform it’ has been
faithful to all that He has promised.
May His name be forever praised, His honour upheld, and His word declared,
that others may look and live.
"Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness,
ye that seek the LORD: look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, and to the
hole of the pit whence ye are diggcd. Look unto Abraham your father, and
unto Sarah that bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and
increased him.” - (ISAIAH 51:1-2)

Church
in Bad Shape?
When Jesus started His church, the Pastor (Jesus Himself) was being executed.
The chairman of the board (Peter) was out cursing and denying that he
was any part of that church. The treasurer (Judas) was committing suicide.
Most of the rest of the board members (the apostles) had run away Only
a few ladies from the Women’s Fellowship were about the only ones
that showed much faithfulness.
Your church can’t be in that bad a shape-so pitch in and help get
it going.

READ
THE BIBLE THROUGH
Yes, I thought I knew my Bible
Reading piecemeal, hit or miss
Now a part of John or Matthew
Then a bit of Genesis
Certain chapters of Isaiah
Certain psalms, the twenty-third,
First of Proverbs, twelfth of Romans.
Yes, I thought I knew the Word
But I found that thorough reading
Was a different thing to do
And the way was unfamiliar
When I read my Bible through.
You who like to play at Bible
Dip and dabble here and there
Just before you kneel all weary
Yawning through a hurried prayer.
You who treat this crown of writings
As you treat no other book
Just a paragraph disjointed
Just a crude impatient look.
Try a worthier procedure
Try a broad and steady view!
You will kneel in awesome wonder
When you read the Bible through.

Worth
Thinking About
A
quiet moment spent in prayer refreshes us in mind. A cleansing of the
spirit’s needs can help us all to find that precious strength of
will to cope with
all the day may bring, for if we have life’s inner strength we have
life’s everything.
