Passover

Passover is the main holyday for Jewish people and others because the Lord commanded us “Make on this day to me Pesah (Fasika)”. But growing among multi cultural society, if not told by parents, even knowing the existing of such holyday seems not easy, May be I am wrong for saying that for some people living in some other country but in ours it is. Mixed with other people religion influence this holy day lost its main purpose of reminding people the meaning of its beginning. But when reading part of that story one would be reminded to acknowledge the power of the Lord.

That history is real for many of us but for others it is just symbolic and past. But without being told we have grown by looking some signs of its custom, bringing a lamb to father’s house, eating during midnight, reminding grandfathers eating and watching with children while looking as hurrying to go outside are very few to mention. May be that is mine memory.

My mom took me and my sister to my grand father home and eats standing while he covered his head with hat and holding stick in his hand, dressed well looked as if soon to go somewhere. He never said a word other than saying “eat fast eat” repeatedly. We never liked that because we were forced to eat too much in hurry. Smearing the blood on the doors or pouring blood on the earth was usually seen at some peoples home. However, no history told from the scripture for they have none in hand.

But, even though, no one said a word ….everything was spoken silently. Now after many years later that became the corner stone of memorize what it meant. My grandfather told me silently who he was. His action spoke too much than his word for the reason I couldn’t forget what he used to do that remained in my mind as a movie picture.
But still the doubt is great except memory, how come the Passover and the christen Fasika reconciled? Even shocked I was when I read the book that says “this should be your first month” that was not still for us the beginning of the year.

Any way we have no still our time counting method, we just live by others calendar? When you read and when you compare many things you will be found yourself in puzzles.. I am not saying about ours only even more? How Hillel (the Jewish scholar) set the Jewish calendar to determine as computed Passover at certain day. Almost Passover is set for ever. And the day is always different but Nissan 15. How Nissan 15 fall on mon, tue,wed, thr-----different days.

For sure there is some wrong.. or right that I don’t know. I feel Passover suppose to fall on Sundays.
Any way the day may not be the problem we will find out. The main thing is the Passover reminds us the power of G’d against Egypt. I mean Egypt the old one not of today. I think today if we have kings like Pharos and country like Egypt they wouldn’t miss to read that history and learn. But the scariest thing is if they think that is just symbolic and never works today anymore.

To be honest as a personal view I wouldn’t like what falls on Egypt at that time but to show the power of G’d I believe that was necessary. I may be dare to say the killing of Egyptian firstborn was unfair but when the killing continued against even Israelis his own people I gave up and said this Lord to be the same for everyone in judgment. The same for the King as well for street boy, everyone is judged based on the law. Power, power, power… that is what everyone having wish.

But power is belongs to the Lord who deliver the Israelis from the strong country by strong hand.
There was no a great lose one has at that time than the death of his first born. The gravest grieve of someone is losing someone who loved him too much. That is what happened when pharos lost his first born. Today if we love too much money than family that is how the Lord would punish people to remind them still his hand is not weakened.

I am the first born and I am a Jewish and this week is Passover and I have to eat only bread without yeast and I have to remind and retell the story about The Lords hand its delivery from strong hands and so on……. Well every one can read about past from the book but I have the story to tell happened in this generation….. When we read it let us know that the Lord is powerful and know the mercy of G’d for all is closer than we expected. I think no country would like to be like Egypt again.

Why being stubborn like Egypt for the Lord is not human being that we able to understand his knowledge, wisdom and power to compromise with us or seeking to regret for what he is doing. We don’t have chance except to follow what he commands us to do for now a day’s still his power hand rocking the world.
As testimony for this Passover I have to retell some of the events as signs that the Lord showed to me so that to tell the world to show his power and the coming of his Mercy.

The followings are 10 wondrous signs .

1-Sept. 11, 2001 attack on US soil caused worldwide political and religious impact. That day coincided with Ethiopian New year. That sign indicates me that the Lord uses that New Year as a sign for his followers to show that he to be the only ruler of the world. For that He uses Amos 9:7 to indicate that Ethiopians including me suppose to serve God for the benefit of his own Glory. And I claim that personally the Lord uses me as a sign maker to tell his followers he is the one who did it to encourage believing in him and admonishing non believers. Questions- Why it didn’t happen in another year rather than in the new millennium? Why in the big land? Why not another month? Why not another day? Why I came in 2000? Why only Ethiopian New Year differ in the world?

2-Feb 1, 2002 is the day that I was in the spirit of the Lord. And that is the only day I was being brutally beaten by the police as his sign in USA. (Don’t touch my servants)how come a person like me who never know the bible before 10 years fell having the spirit of the Lord, that happened only on that day and never before and never again till today.

3-Feb 1, 2003 was the exact day after a year of my arrest. After a year almost in the same hour in the same munities Columbia shuttle detonated. 7 astronauts killed. It was a new kind and very unique accident happened in the history of shuttle. I think that happened as a revenge to show that I am his elect and to tell his followers about his power. Question: why not another day, why not another hour and minute? That is because if he did it in any other day it wouldn’t be distinguished as a miraculous event. And we know that one year for the men is one day for the Lord and vice versa.

4-Feb 1, 2003 after the breaking news of shuttle Columbia the new disease called SARS not ever known before in the world being reported. It was a new kind and very unique scary disease in the world history detected in china. The Chinese scientist commented that the virus came from outer space. But later on because it was not obvious for the world to witness it like the shuttle later on the exact start date of SARS being changed. However it was reported by CNN on Feb 1 2003 after the breaking news of shuttle Columbia.

5-Feb 1, 2003 a very rare celestial alignment occurred in our solar system. New moon on that exact day aligned with Jupiter and Neptune and others. The full moon aligned also in very surprised situation. That shows how powerful our Lord is saying that to be the ruler of heaven not only the earth. (It is best to read the attachment) That coincided with my prayer on Feb 1, 2002 to the Lord in to heaven direction. To show me that he heard my prayer.

6-May 5 (Miazia 27) is my birth day. Historically, in this day many worldwide powerful events happened. But related with Ethiopia especially here are very unique co incidences.
May 5 Italians captured Addis Ababa. In this day the strong powerful enemy came on the land of Ethiopia.
May 5 Ethiopia liberated from Italia. Again on the same day the Lord chased away the enemy from Ethiopia.
On May 5, 2002 my birth day coincided with Ethiopian (Passover) day which it is extremely rare coincident. That is the year I was beaten when I was in the spirit of the Lord.
May 5 2003 again coincided with Ethiopian Easter days. This year is when the lord Avenges and shows the sign on heaven.
*May 5 2003 patriot’s day coincided with my birthday.
*The patriot’s day (liberation day) May 5 has been changed later to Apr 6 by the current Ethiopian Gov or some group. This shows the denial of the power of the Lord (similar to psalm 74:9) that says we don’t need to see the sign of the Lord and we never acknowledge any one as Lords prophet. Question: Why coincided with my birth date on 2002 and 2003 with Passover? Why not in another years? Why again coincided with 2008 in the new millenniums of Ethiopian that is to indicate me to tell you that he made me to be his sign maker.

7-Feb 1, 2004 In the worship place of Saudi Arabia 244 people killed by stamped. (See attached paper) after I saw what happened in Feb 1, 2003 then I waited to see if something going to happen against my enemies to be sure and confirm what happened on Feb 1, 2003 to be the hand of the Lord. And it happened almost on exact time on Feb 1, 2004. In that I became surer to tell you this story that made me to fear what would come next on Feb 1, leave alone then about what happened in September’s hurricanes like Katharina.

8-Feb 1, 2019 (yet to happen but could be avoided by doing his will) – In July, 2002 (the year I was beaten) an asteroid discovered to be the most threatening object yet detected in the space. A preliminary orbit suggests that 2002 NT7 is on an impact course with earth and could strike the planet on 1 February, 2019 although the uncertainties are large. Question: why detected on 2002? Why it would be on Feb 1st? Why not on the other day?

9-In year 2003 Iraq war was started. That is the unique and strong war that causes the life of many people and that still not finished. Iraq was a fierce enemy of Israel and Sadam was the enemy of the Lord to be ashamed and confused of. Who are sponsored many Arab terrorist to kill the believers in Ethiopia.

10-In year 2003 the great black outs occurred in US and in other main cities. That was a unique incident that happened in the history of the world. (Read the 4th testimony and see the attached proves). Millions of people were left in the dark in the New York City and other main cities in east coast but not in Dc area. Then after a week later in Europe especially in Italy the worst black out ever happened in the history occurred. As you may read the full story later, my father (Berhanu=his light)who gave my name was working in Ethiopian light and power authority as executive officer which means symbolically to be the control of electric power. It was wonderful that his name was called light and was working for Ethiopian light and power authority.

But that was not limited to Ethiopia when I discovered that unique Black outs happened in big cities to show us that he to be the giver and the taker of light and power from any big country. Question- why in 2003? Why unique? http://www.camworld.com/archives/001236
http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/europe/09/28/italy.blackout/index.html
This is not about me or some group but all. In this I conclude about the 10 Signs to let you know that we are in an important time to do the right thing for the sake bringing Mercy.
For some reason or (blocked this truth) never read in Ethiopia and that brings problem for the world at large.

The unique way

My English is poor to select the right words but i don't think i miss to reach people what i am trying to say. The reason i mentioned that is because i may misspell or misrepresent what i am trying to say correctly. If that is the case consider what i said, about my proficiency of this language that found only much from experience than from school. After saying that i would like to cut it short my follow up story and come to the point and go to the next important chapter ----OK then--what next?
Here is the story to follow from the discovery of self to My thought and comes understanding and decoding etc. Then to testimony. But may be I am just "complainer? false accuser? a liar? I don't think so.
For good reason to be the sign of the Lords work to tell this story i was -----beaten and suffered too much till something happens suddenly as a revenge. Who avenges for help less? only G'd.Well i may not claim the word that says "don't touch my prophets or servants? Because who knows me as a young no one would accept me as even a deacon leave alone some one better? Grown as a city boy, playing foot ball, telling jokes, these are not that much bad? may be more..... So what i am trying to say is when i tell you the next huge things those all are happenings because of me -----yes i know similarly the Hollywood writers are already wrote it or played it. Not with out reason but to challenge the miracle. Well that is irrelevant, let us forget it now but who can remind the miracle written in the book that says "the water gushed out from from the stone. Who can believe today if some one hit the stone by the stick and the water to come out of it? Yes! that was a huge miracle ? Why? because stone is life less but water. Forget the philosophy or the
the silly interpretation. Stone is stone and it is hard expecting the water to come out from it. And the same thing happened to me to be changed form some one old to the new me as if the water gushed from the stone i also got that change in me. That is truly miracle....... Then in the middle many things happened from unknowing to knowing G'ds word.

Let me cut it as follows and summarize it all what happen?

The following is the real story....for the world

I read from the scripture that G’d made different signs and miracles to teach people about his wisdom and power. When we see unusual things happening in the world today we witnessed that reality. Since I came to USA that was what I realized observing the Lord doing something new to warn people or punishing them. In the last 10 years that is what I think has happened.
As i said I am the interpreter of the sign of the Lord and was born in miracle. My grandparents were Ethiopian Jewish. After they married each other prayed to the Lord to give them the first born child as a Son. Rather the Lord gave them the first child as a daughter. But the Lord never forgot their prayer. A child was born soon from that young woman to be me. Before I was even born the Lord to make my birth miraculous he gave me his own name to carry it as a sign. My father was killed in accident before even I was born.
Then my mother was in big trouble. But the Lord brought her a man having unique name to help her. And form that day on I was called in that name as his son till today. Because of that meaningful names i became to be called lord, my light, born (created), the work of promise. That gives the meaning saying this is the son I promised to you. In that I knew after 60 years the Lord heard their prayer to know that I was the one whom my grandparents were expected to be born as first child being a Son.

But I didn’t know since my birth day my enemies were pursued me. But the Lord always saved me from their hand. Then in Feb 1, 2002 the spirit of the Lord was upon me. On that day I was beaten and arrested by the police. But In Feb 1st, 2003 exactly after a year the whole world was shocked. On that day shuttle Colombia detonated, the new disease called SARS started, then in 2003 unique black outs occurred in big cities, and the Iraq war started. On Feb 1 2004 on the same hour another incident happened. But later I read In July, 2002 an asteroid was discovered to be the most threatening object yet detected in the space to hit the earth on Feb 1, 2019. That Sign warned me when I follow the trend of Feb1 to be realistic danger if not done the right thing.
Since that day I started to discover all of those mysteries to be one of the Sign.
At the end I confirmed that the Lord did all those unique things to help me provide realistic evidence to tell this story to the world.

The followings are the 10 big signs out of many taken from the book how the global events related with my personal life to prove my election by the Lord as sign maker. The signs are related with my own personal history as his elect to witness his power, not about the country I lived or the people in general because neither the country called Ethiopia nor the majority of the people doing the right thing including myself better than any other people except very few. Thus this tells about me as sign maker to the work of the Lord to show you the unique way. The detail will follow if asked to analyze it.

My thoughts

2009-04-03T13:46:00.000-07:00

Continiued from discovering self, My thoughts

My knowledge of the scripture grew fast and deep. However that was not the end of the sudden change of my new life rather my inner feeling continued nagged by some force to feel something strange and sensed unusual about myself very soon.

specially when I remembered and thought about the persecution that happened against me with out reasonable cause and the denial of justice I had experienced for that made my life miserable the book when I read it and interpreted gave me personally lots of meanings.

Then I have started spending more time to research and study with prayer more about Biblical subjects that has the relationship with historical events that may gives any kind of clue, connection and relation with the reality of our time.

I also bought Quran (the Islamic scripture) and read most of the parts to find some useful information in it however it has little value at all regarding historical consistency except mentioning the name of some same prophets that found in another book. In that kind of sane situation I spent almost two and half years.

But then one day I felt very deep strange thought as to begun born in my mind, I sensed vaguely as if G'd gave me some kind of mysterious sign, but I was not able to explain it how that happened and started, But again sooner another idea was born which I can't remember it now but struck my head sharply.
Then, I became fully suspicious about that G'd did something special about me. I guessed he was trying to indicate me some kind of message, but how that happened I didn't know. Till today the subject of the idea was confusing to be explained. It was lots of puzzle mystery that dragged me in to asking myself with out some bodies help to answer difficult questions which was the beginning of the pang of sign.

I used to ask myself, could the thought in me today had been known by the other outer part in advance before I think it today? If I were someone who is important how come I didn't know about myself before any body knows me in advance, specially my enemies?

How is that possible then what I am thinking now could be known by some one else even before I am existing today? Or could the thought of some power that I couldn't share my ability to control it organized my body to arrange and install his thought in me to work his thought as my thought with out his presence?

Or is that possible to arrange such kind of things? Technologically and scientifically, if so, the idea of my thought would have been more pro technological or materialistic than spiritual, which completely the opposite is.

Even when it come respect wise for the knowledge of some one I do believe the real believer in cloister would be better to me than the person in the sophisticated laboratory.

It depends though; if some one is wrong in his worship in the cloister than the scientist in the lab I do appreciate more the scientist than the one who found in cave. But generally speaking I am tending to love the righteous pious individuals than the arrogant proud individuals even though I am from the city that had grown in the violent world.

How come then? I rejected the idea. I thought that was craziness to think like that? Or is my suspicious idea realistic message that has supposes to solve something in the future? But who arrange this thing.

From starting point I know I am not, or somebody else whom I know, If am not who is the one who can do that? Is it G'd? How even then that can happen since I didn't know even the worship of G'd in any sense before? If so, why me an ordinary person? When there are many holy priests and other godly people who are exists today.

What kind of power can know any how the thought of some one before the person him self became at the age to think about it? Or before he was born? It is not me, nor my mother, it is some one who did that but I didn't know how and why?

My questions in me were going around and around and my mind was thinking in circular motion. But at the end of all those thoughts for many months I hadn't even get the least clue how to resolve the mystery that was created in my mind.

I couldn't find anything that makes me to believe or not to believe what I was thinking was to be right or to be wrong and I couldn't convince myself if I were not even insane, like someone who is confused, crazy, psycho or idiot to think about what I was thinking at that time.

However to the contrary, to consider myself to be crazy, health wise I was feeling rather well to be normal. For long time the conflict of these ideas in my mind persisted severely but then at the end of all that confused period of time I decided to take one step in the history of my life.

I decided to ask my mother, who knows me better than I knew my self in childhood,
I wanted to know about what I didn't know about, to clear even the simplest doubt I had.

I decided to ask my mother for the first time about my childhood age and some other suspicious question having which was nagging my brain about my father. Is my father really my biological father? Who really is my father?

The complicated idea is created within me because according to the sign I have got from God that I shouldn't be the child of two tribes or from two different kind of people; the reason for that was not because I thought it is a sin or anything like that, but it was for the reason to be his sign (if I were) from the feeling I got.

I studied and understood that my mother could be possibly a Falasha (Jewish mother) from the situation I remember that make it closer to be the sign of being a Jewish mother; but I still didn't know for sure if I had the Jewish blood even from the starting point.

The reason is nobody talked in our family about that matter or in general about race and I never thought about it in my life except very recently after the idea bopped in my mind suddenly.
Very slight instinct doubt started in my mind if I may probably myself to be a Jewish person (felasha). I had no even any proof to say that. According to my intensive study my father whom I have the name from him is a little bit far from being part of the Jewish family. But someone whom I thought to be for the last 30 years of old age could be someone else?

That was the big question and the critical one. Either God would have made some kind of positive trick about me or I was crazy to think about that? Or the devil tricked me?

At the end I wrapped up my thought together and at the conclusion of my deep thought I decided to write a letter to my mother without my direct bold questions, to ask something shady, to invite her to say something. I wrote the letter and the reply came after a month later. Then I translated the letter as follows for readers.

Discovering self

2009-04-02T17:19:00.000-07:00

This part of story tells about
how I came first into the knowledge of the true God,
It was year 2000, after passing through continues and intensive suffering of my 30 years of age, I started to search deeply the cause of my passed complicated life history. Kowledge wise as a young I used to read different kind of books thinking that could give me different knowledge that would give an explanation about what i don't know.

To please myself I did try many things like many of us because I thought it could nourish my mental satisfaction. Well tried, unlikely to me everything was terrible.

None of them have worked effectively. For that reason most of the time I was living in the confused environment, in wrong life style but always i felt that was not mine. Since my young age till 30th to the point of its end I used to live for long time in that way. But begin from one miraculous night everything has been changed forever.

One day I was sitting lonely in my single room with in deep anguish thought more than any time finding myself in a very great distress situation that came from years of affliction and persecution by my unknown enemies. So drastic were the torment and the strange disturbing feeling I had that forced me to seek at that time something that I never thought before.

Thus, I think for the first time in my life I pleaded earnestly my Creator or some one or some thing that I didn't know for sure to do something about I don’t know for sure. Actually I didn't know to whom even my supplication was forwarded.

Any how with out mentioning the name of any god and with out any voice, with no clear meaningful speech with dry tears, in agony I prayed silently but loud inside to help me some power (with out knowing who).

However, since my childhood, naturally, I have the faith to believe in the Creator but I hadn't specific way to have my connection with him. I never prayed at any time before that day consciously in my life. Even at that day I know I am sure I didn't say anything in a word to demand particular things for the reason that I didn't know what I needed, but prayed something without my conscious knowledge.

Then, after a moment later I moved to my bed and there I found suddenly a Book that comes from nowhere sat at my pillow. I knew I never had it before, because I never read that kind of Book in my life before and nobody lived or entered in my room but me, no visitor came to me in the past two days to think that they left the BOOK of the Lord in my room. Despite all of that, at the time I was not even interested to look at it and I never thought it would have been the help from God or from anyone else.
Anyhow, I just picked it up and stretched my hand intended to put it aside at the table miraculously that never happened. It clings in my hand and reluctantly opened it and started to read it just smoothly for that was to be my first day in the history of my life to read the Book of the LORD.

That happened at the end of 1998. But unlike my disinterest in the beginning every word in it started to make perfect and meaningful sense to me.
Surprisingly begin to that night the way of my thinking and my actions have been dramatically changed.

And from that day on I never missed a day with out thinking about it or if possible with out reading some part out of it. Then again even though I was started late to read that Book compare to many people, my knowledge of the scripture was surpassed its usual norm, and I thought I become lightened suddenly.

That moment makes me different from many of my friends.
There fore I started to see things differently. However, believed by the idea that this kind of character change would always exists among the new believers I was not considered my self to be selectively enlightened with the knowledge of the book of the Lord. I had assumed that the different between me and other friends might be the reason only that I grasped the knowledge very fast with out being preached by any one before but they are. So I thought it was normal.

Don't be decieved

2009-04-02T14:38:00.000-07:00

Don’t be deceived

I think the above commandment is the most important law given by the Lord to Israelis and others to remind us what to do and not to do in our daily life. Yet we are not sure how much this commandment is important for it is mentioned only in few chapters and never preached that much in public. But if we contemplate well we will find this commandment to be the most important guide to lead us into the right direction. But which right direction are we speaking about?

It would be very scary today to know whether we are deceived or not. Of course this law came from the Bible and that meant it is to be the word of G’d. So Endatetalel means don’t be wronged by the other laws, guide, precept, advice etc, on the other hand saying that keep or remind the law of G’d day and night. But today it seems completely the most difficult part of our life for most of us enable us to live in that precept by elevating the law of G’d more than the others.

It may not look like that but if the law Endatetalel is the standard as a mirror to remind us how important is to keep the entire law of G’d then I would tend to say we failed already and being deceived. But we may not the first people to fail, it was the same law given to Adam and Eve to keep the first commandment that says “eats all in the garden but neither eat nor touch the one in the middle”. They failed. The reason is Eve was deceived by Satan. And Adam was seduced by his own wife, part of his own flesh.

That may be the main reason why our flesh tends to fail while our spirit is not. However, this Adams performance must be an example to teach us how important is to remind and to do the law of G’d rather than take it as an excuse for acceptance of our failure as the seed of Adams to be cleansed later by the blood of Jesus to be free from keeping the entire law.
In today’s world we are in the same boat like before or may be in worse. We compromise the law of G’d with other laws in every ways. More over that we are elevating and adoring the law of man (most of its source not known) and we disregards the law of G’d. That may not be because we are doing it intentionally but because we are deceived. So do we have an excuse to be unpunished because we are being deceived like Adam or Eve? I wish we can be free from that but based on the law of G’d it should be paid by punishment.

I wouldn’t like to be rough by sayings that but I have no choice because it is written as such. What do we expect if Adam was lost his paradise because of just hearing his wife rather than contemplate and remind the word of his Creator, just for the sake of breaching one commandment? Do we have a chance to go free without reprimand for many commandments we trespass? No!
But I think there is only one way we can escape from that danger or minimize it. And that is only by his mercy. But mercy is also not attained free; it needs a lot of doings. For that we should remind his words and admit being deceived. And we acknowledge that being deceived is to be a sin.
And know that if we pray for the sake of our sin we would be cleansed by mercy and after that when we do the right worship as written in the book rather than accepting interpreted from different theological philosophy we would have the maximum salvation and redemption. Now days the book reached almost worldwide and billions of people are able to read it. So, as the book depicts it, there is no contradiction between Moses given book and the teaching of yesus. Yet we have millions of theologians and preachers as Jews, Christians and Muslims at least around the globe to tell us stories about the salvation of individual soul and the world at large.
So the point of Endatetalel comes here? Is there a law that tells us how to choose a teacher (prophet) or not? How do we know who the right teacher is and which religion to be the right one? Leave alone from the other people but do all Israelis have access and are able to be a teacher of his word? How do we know which law is to be right or wrong?

How do we choose which church or synagogue to be right or wrong and which denomination ?which doctrin?? Does the angle of the Lord have another speaker than himself? Is Satan stopped deceiving people? There would be a lot of questions to answer. But to me I think I would claim to have many evidences to be elected as a teacher of my own , at least for myself, if not for others.

Yet, I said that, this is not because of simple reasons rather huge. And I may be disagree with many teachers that founds in many synagogue, churches and mosque etc. because I think we need to have one real house of worship as written rather than many houses because we couldn’t assure their legitimacy as the house of the Lord without filtering them by the word of G’d. For that I could give my testimony to strength the law of G’d as to be a live important law than considered to be an ancient legendary or symbolic that many people would like intentionally disregard it because we are being once deceived and never know how to reconcile it with the ancient law of G’d in today’s modern world.

Yes the law is still viable to guide us to worship as ancient time and we are able to reconcile it with the world we are in because the world is always belonged to the Lord. And still things are the same. We are still human beings and nature is still exists as before that enable us to do the will of G’d. And we can do it that together with two people or with millions or billions.

But for that i know we need strong proves to strength our faith. And that would be an important element not to be deceived. For that it would be helpful to read the following short story that tells us about the doing of the Lord in this generation and know why I said I am elected to be my own teacher rather than allowing others to be mine.

Nevertheless if anyone has signs and miracles that surpass mines I would like them to be my teachers. If not i don't know how to choose my teacher and the worship place better than I suggest. Therefore I am very cautious only to learn from G’d that teaches me in a way I chose because i don't want to be decieved, endaletalel.

2009-03-27T09:37:00.000-07:00

How do we claim who we are by ourselves?

Today is almost 60 years since Israel as a country being created or recreated. But the controversy of the legitimate of Israel as a holy land is still the hottest issue which confused and disturbed not only the Middle East countries but also the whole world. The surrounding Arab countries are crying day and night lauder for the destruction of Israel with other country together to see the undo of Gods work. But Israel has become as a nation stronger than ever and ever that seems because of its enemy pressure than its own pre plan.

But the most confusing regarding this matter is what many people in the world never know that there are also Jews who opposes the establishment of the land of Israel. And they are neither atheist nor seculars. Rather these groups of Jews are very religious and speak as they are the most adherent followers of Moses law (at least as they say). Most of them are Hasidic Jews. But they have very different concept of Israel based on Torah and they claim to be the true defender of that religion and the identity of Israel as a nation chosen by G’d. And these people don’t want the existing of Israel as it is now. They reject the Political map of Israel. And that make it very different from the other Jews.

To me that is awkward to swallow it but I presume that it is not unfair at least if they base their argument by the Torah which is or should be the most authoritative law for the land of Israel than other. I said this for good reason for I will explain it later. That is as simple as that. But the argument should be open for other Jews to respond based on their understanding of Torah because now a day for no one seems better than the other.

But the most intriguing concern I found to be is the rejection of their rabbis about the Ethiopian Jews as being real. Why is that the most known and religious rabbi in this modern time refused to acknowledge the Ethiopian Falashas (Beth Israel) as Jews in the past? And who is the one able to say you are or not jews? For that we seems to have different analize how to cliam being jews, specially when we have the sign from G'd that is the most confirming evidence. In that in the next blog i will put my own pesonal evidence as to be a jew.

Bete Abraham and their Freedom

Bete Abraham and their freedom is not hidden anymore but real and obvious in its time.
And to me seeing or hearing the wonder of God is not a new phenomenon but the news about the inauguration of having the house of prayer to Beth Abraham community in Kechene was special. I was amazed by the work of the Lord. How it became possible having such a prayer house in Ethiopia that never seemed ever existed before in the history. There might be much speculation about its happening from different perspective but to me it is just purely miracle.

Well, some people could say that, it may not be a new kind of synagogue since there existed before somewhere else? I don’t dispute about that but this one is very different in this time according to my own experience.
At least the world community never heard about the existence of the Jewish community (the moretes) ever before in Ethiopia leave alone they are having now the worship place in Addis. If there were maybe that was before Italian invaded Ethiopia? If we try to read the books they tell us about the Falashas who lived in Gondar that they were numbered, as they wrote, once from 300 thousand to 7000 and vise verse, always to be the wrong guess. To me we never allow to know the amount of our people at any time except to say that they are many or few. But no one mentioned about the bête Abraham community at any time before. And if they were known, it was not even by their own childrens but others that kept it hidden. Or God did it on purpose for this time?
Nevertheless, as far as I know, in less than a year the progress accelerated having the prayer place was not succeeded without huge courage by the young member of that community. Knowing their history shunned by ignorant slanderers was to became an end. Not to mention how they were being treated in the remote village they lived but in a city in these generations being insulted by their own neighbors was not compatible for the world we should have. I think the community never takes it as an offence but as contempt for those who tried to defame their religion and their identity as evil people. Any way the spearing and the contempt should stop.

The bête Abraham community as being among the tribe of Israel, from the house of Jacob never been better or worse than any other human being but they are treated as dirt and as sinful people who were cursed by God because as others claim they disobey the Law of God. But who is not disobeyed? If we make the law of God the standard of our righteousness who is gone be counted as sinless? I think no one. If we see our resemblance in the mirror of Torah or the whole Bible even the Quran we wouldn’t be the judge upon others.

Let everyone read his own bible or Quran or whatever and confront his own innocence than jumping upon blaming others work and faith. The Jews in general or if we speak specifically about the bête Abraham believe in one God the creator is known. And they believe in the Law given to Moses that to be their clear freedom to follow. In that they should be legitimate to worship as they feel appropriate based on the Book they have which is to be found worldwide as testimony.

But for being Israeli, I think ,do they need their religion and faith to be the strong test as long as we have atheist and communist Jewish citizens or strangers in Israel?
Well, we talked about the new house of prayer in Addis Ababa compare to the rest of the world? We have in Maryland more than 30 and in Ethiopia just 1. Do you know how many people served in the Mukrab (synagogue)? 50 congregants in Ethiopia verses (200-300) x30 in Maryland. So if we try to visit the new community and its synagogue I think you better forget to see how small and ugly it looks from outside comparing it with other churches or mosques that found around it.

But inside we have strong young and adult worshipers who chose God than fear who are few like gold’s than many like clays. That shows or telling us something that Beth Abraham is to be courageous real Jewish people for they are contempt by others even worse than the sorcerers and devil worshipers that found in every place. So I think regardless of the benefit of the doubt we may have worth’s to visit and support that community and encourage their struggle not for their righteousness but for their strong stand declaring having their religious freedom in the place no one dare to say I am ayhude(jewish).

Beth Abraham

2009-03-11T12:54:00.000-07:00

Beth Abraham is the community that lived dispersed in many region of Ethiopia. Originally the Beth Abraham might come from the northern part of Ethiopia, namely from Gondar and Gojam border which is near Tana. Historically, because of the difficult time and persecution these people encountered by other religion followers and wandered from place to place to protect themselves from attacks. There was also the possibility these people had been scattered and expanded to many areas near Gonder in every direction.

For that reason there is huge assumption that most of the time these people have entered in to mountainous terrain to hide themselves from attack. In Ethiopia, for many centuries these people never got a chance to live in peace with having their real identity exposed. Most of these people are having their own unique culture and religion. Still that trace never lost. Today the place called Kechene shows that sign. That hated part of region in Addi's Ababa yet with most skilled and smart people remained to be the poorest region in the city with having its own merit. Dwellers among them hate them for their identity but never shun their skill of handcraft and their trading habit that made them prosperous for that still among them lived other people.
