The purpose of knowing the Truth, for this article comes from the understanding that We are in trouble.
\nThe \u201cWe\u201d being the Children of Israel, The Jews, The Land of Israel, The Nations round about, All Flesh upon the Earth, are very new the last day. Statements about the Last Day have been made for a couple thousand years at least.<\/p>\n
Is it now apparent that we really need to know what the truth is? I understand that the truth should be based on something that we can hold fast(Securely). We seem to be in a world of upside down, right and wrong; with statements by many that we cannot know the truth or right and wrong. I am here to tell you, that not only is it important to know the Truth, Your own Soul(Spirit of GOD), the future of it, hangs in the balance of your actions.<\/p>\n
There is no way to KNOW when your time will stop! Dead; done; no more options.<\/p>\n
Seeking to know the Truth should be one of the Highest Priorities for any person.<\/p>\n
So how can we KNOW the Truth?<\/p>\n

So Baruch is sent to read these words, in the fifth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah. But the LORD tells Jeremiah to write again the Words, Saying: 28\u00a0‘Take thee again another roll, and write in it all the former words that were in the first roll, which Jehoiakim the king of Judah hath burned. 29\u00a0And concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah thou shalt say: Thus saith the LORD: Thou hast burned this roll, saying: Why hast thou written therein, saying: The king of Babylon shall certainly come and destroy this land, and shall cause to cease from thence man and beast?<\/p>\n This time a pronouncement against king Jehoiakim is made by the LORD, now included in the writings.

Mark Twain: Here again is the point. We need to be able to discern the Truth, even in the Torah and Tanakh, so that we can know these:<\/p>\n 1) Is there a GOD in ISRAEL?<\/p>\n 2) What Does HE want?<\/p>\n 3) Why is HE angry?<\/p>\n 4) What do I need to change in me?<\/p>\n 5) What is going to happen to me if I do not change?<\/p>\n 6) How can I change?<\/p>\n Please Donate, if you Can, use the button in the Left Column.

\nSo we need two or more witnesses to determine the TRUTH of any matter.<\/p>\n
\n%%%%%%%
\nThe What:
\n%%%%%%% Announced and Witnessed in the Announcement.<\/p>\n
\nThe Witnesses:
\n%%%%%%%<\/p>\n
\n1\u00a0And I said: Hear, I pray you, ye heads of Jacob, and rulers of the house of Israel: is it not for you to know justice?
\n2\u00a0Who hate the good, and love the evil; who rob their skin from off them, and their flesh from off their bones;
\n3\u00a0Who also eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them, and break their bones; yea, they chop them in pieces, as that which is in the pot, and as flesh within the caldron.
\n4\u00a0Then shall they cry unto the LORD, but He will not answer them; yea, He will hide His face from them at that time, according as they have wrought evil in their doings.

\nWe Are Warned About What Is Coming But Will Not Hear.
\n%%%%%%%<\/p>\n
\n8\u00a0Yet will I leave a remnant, in that ye shall have some that escape the sword among the nations, when ye shall be scattered through the countries.
\n9\u00a0And they that escape of you shall remember Me among the nations whither they shall be carried captives, how that I have been anguished with their straying heart, which hath departed from Me, and with their eyes, which are gone astray after their idols; and they shall loathe themselves in their own sight for the evils which they have committed in all their abominations.
\n10\u00a0And they shall know that I am the LORD; I have not said in vain that I would do this evil unto them.<\/p>\n
\nThe Return
\n%%%%%%%<\/p>\n
\n38\u00a0And ye shall perish among the nations, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up.
\n39\u00a0And they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in your enemies’ lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them.
\n40\u00a0And they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, in their treachery which they committed against Me, and also that they have walked contrary unto Me.
\n41\u00a0I also will walk contrary unto them, and bring them into the land of their enemies; if then perchance their uncircumcised heart be humbled, and they then be paid the punishment of their iniquity;
\n42\u00a0then will I remember My covenant with Jacob, and also My covenant with Isaac, and also My covenant with Abraham will I remember; and I will remember the land.<\/p>\n
\n1\u00a0And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt bethink thyself among all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath driven thee,
\n2\u00a0and shalt return unto the LORD thy God, and hearken to His voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul;
\n3\u00a0that then the LORD thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the peoples, whither the LORD thy God hath scattered thee.<\/p>\n
\nThis is Chapter is like Leviticus 26 and Deuteronomy 30 regarding the departure and return. . . .
\n18\u00a0Then shall ye again discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth Him not.
\n13\u00a0Only acknowledge thine iniquity, that thou hast transgressed against the LORD thy God, and hast scattered thy ways to the strangers under every leafy tree, and ye have not hearkened to My voice, saith the LORD.
\n14\u00a0Return, O backsliding children, saith the LORD; for I am a lord unto you, and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion;
\n15\u00a0and I will give you shepherds according to My heart, who shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.<\/p>\n
\nWe Do Not Want To Hear!

\nThe LORD tells Jeremiah to<\/p>\n
\n3\u00a0It may be that the house of Judah will hear all the evil which I purpose to do unto them; that they may return every man from his evil way, and I may forgive their iniquity and their sin.’
\n4\u00a0Then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah; and Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the LORD, which He had spoken unto him, upon a roll of a book.
\n5\u00a0And Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying: ‘I am detained, I cannot go into the house of the LORD;
\n6\u00a0therefore go thou, and read in the roll, which thou hast written from my mouth, the words of the LORD in the ears of the people in the LORD’S house upon a fast-day; and also thou shalt read them in the ears of all Judah that come out of their cities.<\/p>\n
\nking Jehoiakim did hear about these words and then they were read to him, but before the fourth or ffifth column was read, the king cut it up and burned the book, not wanting to hear the words. The king went so far as to: 26\u00a0And the king commanded Jerahmeel the king’s son, and Seraiah the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel, to take Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet; but the LORD hid them.<\/p>\n
\n32\u00a0Then took Jeremiah another roll, and gave it to Baruch the scribe, the son of Neriah; who wrote therein from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the book which Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire; and there were added besides unto them many like words.<\/p>\n
\nRemember Your Evil — you can not change what you are unable to acknowledge.
\n%%%%%%%<\/p>\n
\n42\u00a0And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall bring you into the land of Israel, into the country which I lifted up My hand to give unto your fathers.
\n43\u00a0And there shall ye remember your ways, and all your doings, wherein ye have polluted yourselves; and ye shall loathe yourselves in your own sight for all your evils that ye have committed.
\n44\u00a0And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I have wrought with you for My name’s sake, not according to your evil ways, nor according to your corrupt doings, O ye house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.’<\/p>\n
\n31\u00a0Then shall ye remember your evil ways, and your doings that were not good; and ye shall loathe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations
\n32\u00a0Not for your sake do I this, saith the Lord GOD, be it known unto you; be ashamed and confounded for your ways, O house of Israel.
\n33\u00a0Thus saith the Lord GOD: In the day that I cleanse you from all your iniquities, I will cause the cities to be inhabited, and the waste places shall be builded. (Israel 2015 this IS Israel now!)
\n34\u00a0And the land that was desolate shall be tilled, whereas it was a desolation in the sight of all that passed by.(Witnessed by Mark Twain 1863)
\n35\u00a0And they shall say: This land that was desolate is become like the garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are fortified and inhabited.(Israel 2015, Israel now.)
\n36\u00a0Then the nations that are left round about you shall know that I the LORD have builded the ruined places, and planted that which was desolate; I the LORD have spoken it, and I will do it. (Not yet done.)<\/p>\n
\n2\u00a0‘The LORD hath been sore displeased with your fathers.
\n3\u00a0Therefore say thou unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts: Return unto Me, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will return unto you, saith the LORD of hosts.
\n4\u00a0Be ye not as your fathers, unto whom the former prophets proclaimed, saying: Thus saith the LORD of hosts: Return ye now from your evil ways, and from your evil doings; but they did not hear, nor attend unto Me, saith the LORD.<\/p>\n
\n6\u00a0For I the LORD change not; and ye, O sons of Jacob, are not consumed.
\n7\u00a0From the days of your fathers ye have turned aside from Mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto Me, and I will return unto you, saith the LORD of hosts. But ye say: ‘Wherein shall we return?’<\/p>\n
\n17\u00a0And they shall be Mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in the day that I do make, even Mine own treasure; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.
\n18\u00a0Then shall ye again discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth Him not.<\/p>\n
\nOn Palestine
\n\u201c …[a] desolate country whose soil is rich enough, but is given over wholly to weeds-a silent mournful expanse….A desolation is here that not even imagination can grace with the pomp of life and action….We never saw a human being on the whole route….There was hardly a tree or a shrub anywhere. Even the olive and the cactus, those fast friends of the worthless soil, had almost deserted the country.\u201d
