“WEEPING AND WAILING”

Volume 3, Issue 9 - September 2002
“I have set a watchman upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their
peace day nor night. You that make mention of YHWH, keep not silence”. Isaiah 62:6
“WEEPING
AND
WAILING”
“And Yahshua went out, and
departed from the temple: and his
disciples came to him for to shew
him the buildings of the temple.
And Yahshua said unto them…
verily I say unto you, There shall
not be left here one stone upon
another, that shall not be thrown
down.” Matthew 24:1-2
A ccording
to the BBC News, the
wailing wall in Jerusalem [also called the
western wall] has sprung a leak. Israeli
authorities speculate that the wall is
‘weeping’ in a miraculous display of grief
over the “controversy” of the Dome of the
Rock between Israelis and Muslims. But
according to bible scripture, [spoken by
Yahshua the Messiah], the walls of the
temple were completely thrown down, so
what’s the story of the “wailing wall” that
we are told by the Israelis are the walls to the temple?? Can the so-called “people of GOD” [the
Israelis] truly be the people of GOD [Elohim] while their “beliefs and traditions” disagree with the
WORD of GOD? More importantly, how can believers in Christ [the Anointed One] claim to be
believers while disbelieving those words spoken from his mouth??
“…The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat…[interpreters of the law]; But all their works
they do to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their
garments…”. Matthew 23:2-5
At the western wall with a phylactery on the head [the encasement holding slips of scripture], this

Through The Jerusalem Temple Conference held annually,
many news sources are updated on the progress being
made in the rebuilding of the temple; for it must be re-built to
fulfill the prophecy that the “man of sin” will stop the daily
sacrifice and sit in the temple of GOD [Yah], claiming
that he IS GOD [YHWH – Dan 11:31]. But the largest
controversy identified at the conference is the precise
location of the temple! Thus, many have become aware of
Dr. Asher Kaufman’s research which summarizes that the former temple may have stood about
100 meters to the north of the Dome of the Rock toward the east side. Another possibility,
and the best, is from the popular research of Tuvia Sagiv, that the temple lies 1000 yards
toward the south on the east side from the Dome – but not neither possibility supports the
west!
Kaufman, a Professor at The Hebrew University, has largely based his research on The
Mishna. The Mishna was the [so-called] oral law which was forbidden to be written down until
approximately 230 AD. Thus, through the verbal tradition of the Pharisees, they directed and
controlled actions of the people; much like the Christian preacher’s interpretation of scripture
today.
“Whereas Edom saith, We are impoverished, but we will return and build the
desolate places; thus saith the LORD of hosts, They shall build, but I
will throw down..” Malachi 1:4
True Israel [so-called Negroes] were cast
off from the land, taken captive then sold
as slaves just [as prophesied] during the
destruction of Jerusalem in 70-73 AD.
Thus, the land laid as a “desolate place”
– Josephus Flavius, Wars of the Jews,
III. 5. The prophecies spoke first on this
fact.
The W atchm an – The U nited Congregation of Israel
“…Thus saith the LORD unto the king's house of Judah…..I will make thee a
wilderness, and cities which are not inhabited..” Jeremiah 22:6-8
The photo above was taken in 1936, showing the condition of the Temple Mount in a state
of disrepair and desertion. Beginning with the occupation of Jerusalem and its destruction by
the Romans, Jerusalem was invaded and controlled by many nations to the degree that there is
insurmountable evidence that the wailing wall is as Josephus said…the site of a Roman
military fortress called Antonia which housed the 10th Roman legion. It was named in honor
of Mark Anthony, a Roman soldier, by King Herod [an Idumean, a descendant of Esau]. Herod,
an appointed king by Rome, was hated by the Jews because he was a Roman vassal. He
rebuilt and expanded the temple site. Fort Antonia was said to be a “massive structure” of
Roman military might that was the only structure left standing in a display of Roman
superiority. [Encyclopedia Judaica, Jerusalem History, Second Temple Period, Herodian
Period, Josephus War V.5,8].

chronicles,

Works, War
VI.1.1, he
stated, “they
cut down all
the trees that
were in the
country
adjoined to the
city for about
90 stadia round about” [for nearly ten miles]. Continuing on, he provided details on the
thoroughness of the Roman’s destruction of Jerusalem stating that they “dug up” the ruins of
houses, buildings (particularly the temple) and their walls looking for plunder. Having set the
temple and the city on fire, gold and precious metals became molten and melted down into
crack and crevices of the rocks. This resulted in the Romans having their Jewish captives to
overturn every rock to acquire this plunder; [for it was a Hebrew custom to hide gold and
valuables in the walls of the home. In addition, the Hebrew Temple was also the site of
the Hebrew National Treasury]. Thus, the digging continued for several months in search of
gold and silver [according to Josephus; which basically cripples the theory of the temple being
located north of the Dome of the Rock]. This is the suggested position of Dr. Kaufman’s research which he based upon the fact that the area north of the Dome was chiseled down to the
bedrock. All of Jerusalem was overturned!! This is not a viable theory!!

“And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones
and gifts, he said… As for these things which ye be-hold, the days will
come, in the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that
shall not be thrown down.”
Luke 21:5-6
Another eyewitness in the accounts of Josephus, that of Eleazar, a Hebrew priest,
indicated the temple site was “demolished to the very foundations, and hath nothing left
but THAT MONUMENT preserved, I mean the camp of those (The Roman Legions) that
hath destroyed it, which still dwells upon its ruins”. War, Vol 2 8,7.

At the Fourth Annual Temple Conference, Tuvia Sagiv’s popular presentation [evidence of the
temple’s location on the southeast side] continued to resurface. First, reviewing several
traditional sites for the temple, turning to technology, he used 3-D computer studies and
heat-sensitive aerial photography that has revealed a pentagonal structure beneath the
Dome of The Rock that would be consistent with a part of the Antonia Fortress. A similar
structure, called Strato’s Tower, was a part of the Roman buildings at Caesarea on Israel’s
Mediterranean coast. Wars of the Jews, III. 5.

These studies have lead to the discovery that there are 37 cisterns [interior waters for Roman
ritualistic purposes] throughout the Haram al-Sharif [Antonia]. Cisterns are underground receptacles

for collecting water conveyed to it. The scarcity of springs in
Palestine made it necessary to collect rainwater in reservoirs and
cisterns [Num. 21:22]. Corroded cisterns are consistent with the
“leaky wailing wall” while the precise location of the temple can
be proved according to scripture!! Scripture is hardly silent on
the subject of the location of the temple!

In a book entitled The Temples That Jerusalem Forgot, Dr. Ernest
Martin, a 40-year historian, took great pains to research and document
Jerusalem’s history during and after the Diaspora. His research
strongly agrees with the accounts of Josephus and the historical
records from the nations who controlled the land.
The Gihon Spring

Gihon means “to gush”
Isa 25:2 “For thou hast made of a city an heap; of a defensed city
a ruin: a palace of strangers [Herod/Edomites] to be no city; it shall
never be built.”
Many Jews who fled the city after its sack in 66 CE– 73 CE,
eventually tried to regain entrance back into the city to observe the Holy Days commanded in the
bible. The Roman Emperor Hadrian, "determined to stamp out this aggressive Jewish nationalism,"
ruled that Jewish traditions such
as circumcision, the Sabbath,
reading of the law - in fact, the
beliefs of Judaism itself - were
illegal and "forbidden. Jews were
denied entry into Jerusalem on
the pain of death."
Furious over the Roman edict, Jewish Leader, Simon Bar Kochba and 200,000 rebels recaptured
Jerusalem and many "strong-holds and villages throughout the country." [Ibid., pp. 621-622,
Encyclopedia Britannica, vol. XX, p. 622]. This Second Revolt, in the end, failed and led to the
completion of the banishment of Jews from Jerusalem and all of Palestine (thus, further scattering
of Jews to the four corners of the earth). In 135 CE the Roman Emperor Hadrian ordered that
Jerusalem be rebuilt as the city of Colonia Aelia Capitolina. [The layout selected is the basis for the grid
of main streets as they are today in the Old City. Temples to Roman gods were erected everywhere
and the treasures of Zion were installed in their pagan places of worships [Joel 3:5].
The W atchm an – The U nited Congregation of Israel
When the Romans moved their legions from Antonia, transferring the 10th legion, Josephus recounts
that the Holy Mount of YHWH was “plowed like a field ”.
Mic 3:12 “Therefore shall Zion for your sake be
plowed as a field, and Jerusalem shall become
heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high
places of the forest.”
In 614 CE, Palestine fell to the Persians [Arabs],
only to be re-conquered in 629 by Christians and
lost again in 634 CE to the [Muslim] Arabs two
years after Islam was born [in 632 CE]. Under the
rule of the four [so-called] "rightly guided caliphs" of
Islam [632-661 CE] Jews were permitted to return
ARCH OF TITUS – TEMPLE VESSELS
to Jerusalem under Islam; always faring better
under Muslim rulers than Christians. Jerusalem
remained under Muslim rule until the Christian Crusades began in 1095 CE. Bloody warfare in the Holy
Land continued until 1099 when the Christian Crusaders captured Jerusalem. In 1187 CE, Saladin
(Muslim) recaptured Jerusalem back from Crusaders, but it was the Muslim Ottoman Turks, who ruled
this area from the year 1516 to 1917 who regarded Jerusalem as part of Southern Syria. The land, later
referred to as "Palestine", was divided into three separate districts.
According to an article entitled, Islam’s Stake by Time.com, it was during time of the Ottoman Empire
[and the records from their chronologies] that document that the Jewish Temple site was left in ruins
[after the Byzantine period] and was still being used as a “garbage dump”. Many people began to
migrate to Palestine during this period converting to both Judaism and Islam. By the 16th century,
under Ottoman Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent it was recorded that “no one knew the location of
the temple so he conducted an official search
for it.” Ultimately he permitted the Jews to make
the Western Wall their official holy place. Leading
this conjecture was a powerful Jew-‘ish’ “mystic”
of the [Babylonian] Kabala named, Rabbi Isaac
Luria who selected the site in 1570. They
surmised that the Western Wall area was
important enough to Christians to have once
erected their church there, so the Western
Wall must be the location of temple!!
Defeating the Turks in 1917, the beginning of British occupation of Palestine resulted in The Balfour
Declaration that was made on November 2, 1917 promising the establish-ment of a “national
homeland” for the [so-called] Jews. But as they migrated to Palestine and began to restore the land,
the Arabs became furious [1936]. After a royal commission to study the issues, Britain finally issued the
Arabs a White paper in 1939 [to appease them] which promised that Palestine would become an
Arab state with a Jewish population limited to 30%, and limited Jewish immigration and the right
to own land. The White paper was signed by Britain and backed by the United States and the
United Nations. The decision by the Jews to fight the White paper threw Britain into a panic and at
their request, the United Nations passed a resolution to partition Palestine on November 29, 1947
The W atchm an – The U nited Congregation of Israel
allowing the mass immigration of [so-called] Jews. On May 14, 1948 Britain pulled out of
Palestine, Israelis were declared to be the [so-called] Jews/Palestinians, and the following day,
Arab hostilities broke out and continue to this day!!
Isaiah 1:7-8 “Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it
in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers. And the daughter of Zion is left as a
cottage in a vineyard…as a besieged city.”
The wailing wall is not the location of the Holy Temple of Jerusalem according to scripture or secular
history. All who persist in their own agendas, (the “controversy of Zion”, there will be weeping and
gnashing of teeth [fire], “but the Children of Israel walked upon dry land in the midst of the sea
[nations]; the waters [YHWH] were a wall unto them..[the “spiritual” temple] - Exodus 14:29.

Who doesn’t believe there is a current war on

But do we really understand what we are
seeing?
Which chicken would you prefer to eat?
Matthew 13:13 “Therefore speak I to them in
parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.”
The world has received warnings about mercury in fish, foot-and-mouth disease in beef, the genetic
manipulation of corn and rice, high content of fat in fast food. The list goes on and on. As a result, a new
“health-conscious” fast food chain has taken the world by storm. The Healthy Bites Grill, owned by Health
Express USA, is expanding with field requests for establishing restaurants in Japan, Canada and Kuwait. The
fries are not fried, burgers are made of lean buffalo meat, there are veggie pockets with soy cheese, wheat
grass juice, and farm-raised chicken. A new restaurant is opening in Ocean Park, FL [south of the 4-year Boca
Raton restaurant], with it’s traditionally high-end price tags of sandwiches, burgers and wraps with a drink and
side dish costing from $6 to $9. The issue of this day and age is, “Can we rely upon men to raise farm animals
with healthy feed or food? Or, can we rely upon men maintain the conditions of a “healthy” farm that will remain
that way? How can we be sure these genetically manipulated foods and modified or mutant-animals do not
make it into our shopping carts?
Ezekiel 16:27 “Behold, therefore I have stretched out my hand over thee [Hebrews/Negroes], and have diminished thine
ordinary food, and delivered thee unto the will of them that hate thee, the daughters of the Philistines [Africans – Son of Ham,
Gen 10:14], which are ashamed of thy lewd way.”
Our forefathers did not follow the laws ways of YHWH [which included dietary commandments of what they
should and should not eat- Deut. & Lev.]. Thus we [their descendants] are suffering under the pronouncement of
YHWH’s judgment for that disobedience. And, the world is following the poor example of our forefathers. This
generation is experiencing the same curse through the food we eat!!
According to the BBC News, scientists at The Hebrew University in Israel are producing a featherless chicken
which they say is growing faster and would improve the quality of meat and save producers money.
The W atchm an – The U nited Congregation of Israel
Claiming that the bird is not a genetically modified chicken, Professor Avigdor Cahaner, who led the project, told
the BBC that the featherless chicken [above left] “comes from a natural breed whose characteristics have
been known for 50 years. I am just transferring that to fast growing boiler chickens. It’s a normal
chicken, except for the fact that it has no feathers”. WHAT DID HE TRANSFER??!! Anything other than
the normal reproduction or growth process of the chicken is manipulation!
Proverbs 30:8 “Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for
me”.
There are stories implying that the fast food restaurant, KFC [formerly Kentucky Fried Chicken] changed it’s
name because of the modified poultry they serve. KFC was outraged at such “rumors”….and there are many,
but there are many denials as well, coming from various other sources calling such “speculation ridiculous”. But
there is some information to consider in all of this. According to the BBC article, animal welfare researchers
warn that chicken with a lack of feathers are subject to disease and are exposed to parasites, sunburn,
and in cooler climates, would likely die from exposure. In addition, “the males might not be able to
mate”. So what is normal or healthy about this bird??!!
Joel 3:13 “Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, get you down; for the press is full, the
fats overflow; for their wickedness is great.”
Man is eventually going to find himself in the position where he will be forced to turn to the ways of YHWH or
suffer [and possibly die] under his hand. This is particularly true for the Hebrew Israelites who have a holy
legacy and calling to fulfill in his ways.
Ezekiel 11:19-20 ”I will give them one heart and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take
the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh: That they may walk in my
statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their
God.”

Vicious Vaccines
The U.S. Army is investigating the possibility
that four recent murders at Fort Bragg, N.C.
within a 6-week span, may have had some
connection with the malaria drug, Lariam. [3 of
the 4 Special Operations soldiers returned home
from Afghanistan and murdered their wives.]
Doctors warned those taking the drug advising
that they could suffer from “vivid dreams, paranoia, depression, hallucinations and psychotic
behavior”, according to CNN.com.
On the tail of this news, The Center for Disease Control has sent a manual to all 50 states with
instructions on vaccinating the entire population against smallpox within a week of an outbreak.
The vaccinations, they say, “are required” to stop the spread of an outbreak. It also notes, they
are to be administered voluntarily. Those refusing must be “closely monitored” by doctors. [Or
is that quarantined in camps]? Vaccinations, are created by growing pathogens in cell tissue from
animals and rodents. Not only filthy and against Yah’s laws, they are known to cause death. If
the entire population in the U.S. is vaccinated, they expect more than 350 deaths to occur.

Abraham’s Burial Site
Gen 25:9 "...and his sons Isaac and Ishmael
buried him (Abraham) in the cave of
Machpelah in the field of Ephron, the son of
Zohar, the Hittite, which is before Mamre."
Hebron Tomb of the Patriarchs
(Hebron in Arabic means “friend of GOD, a
name given to Abraham by YHWH himself)
For 714 years, entering the Hebrew forefathers' grave had been forbidden by law
to all non-Muslims -and once again it is so.
But in 1981, Dr. Seev Jevin, Director of
the Israel Antiquities Authority, forced himself through a narrow opening in the underground
grave chamber of the Machpela cave, where Abraham, Isaac and Jacob were believed to
be buried. He did this under strict observation by the Islamic Waqf. Behind bolted doors in
Yitzhak Hall, the secret entrance in the southeast wall was opened. Jews had long suspected
that the entrance to the real burial chamber must be here. The discovery that Dr. Jevin made
in 1981 was concealed from Muslins for political reasons. However, now that Hebron has been
handed back to the Muslims, he has recounted to News From Israel how he forced himself
through a narrow entrance, went down 16 steps and crawled along a 20-meters long, 60-cm high
and 100-cm wide tunnel in order to finally reach a 3.5 x 3.5 meter room. The chamber, tunnel
and steps were all made of the same worked stones of building materials belonging to
Herodian-era construction; identical to those used in the Jerusalem temple. Dr. Jevin determined that plaster covering the black walls in the grave chamber dated from a later time and
The W atchm an – The U nited Congregation of Israel
was designed to hide the original Herodian stones. "This is a customary tactic of the Muslims
by which they attempt to cover up original findings particularly of Hebrew origin," said Dr.
Jevin. Behind broken-off plaster, he discovered Latin script, dating to Crusader times,
containing the names Jacob and Abraham.
It was obvious Christians regarded this location as a holy place since the Byzantine Christians
overlaid part of the Hebrew structure and made a basilica out of it. [Even modern-day St.
Peter’s Basilica in Rome, constructed by the Roman Catholics [Christians] is said to be
built over the bones of Peter]. Could this room be the true burial chamber of Abraham,
Isaac & Jacob?
Isaiah 41:8 “But thou, Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham
my friend.”
Jevin was commissioned by the Waqf to examine the already-known chamber to determine
whether or not foreigners had caused damage. When he explored the tomb in 1981, he was
prepared to break off his search when he stumbled on a floor plate. Suspecting a hollow space
underneath, he lifted the plate, found a hole and slid through the narrow opening, Dr. Jevin
found himself in a 3.5 x 4 meter room from which a passage to a second smaller oval room led.
He re-called Hebrew history regarding two caves and recalled that the name "Machpela" itself
means "double cave." In a nearby chamber in the cave, their wives Sarah, Rebekah and Leah
would be resting according to scripture - (Gensis 23:16-20).
Genesis 49:30-31 “In the cave that is in the field of Machpelah, which is before Mamre, in the land
of Canaan, which Abraham bought with the field of Ephron the Hittite for a possession of a burying
place. There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife; there they buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife;
and there I buried Leah.”
In the 12th century, the Crusaders made a church out of the site, and 150 years later the
Mamelukes made it a mosque once again and added two minarets, wall decorations, and a marble
facade. For 700 years, from 1267 to June 8, 1967, the
Muslims forbade Jews and Christians access to the
Machpela cave. During this time, Israelis/Edomites
could only approach the steps on the east side and only
to the seventh step. The archeological finds being
discovered in Israel support bible scripture from
Genesis to Revelation. But we also know by those
same scriptures, that treating the location of the
dead as a holy place is an act that defies scripture.
Genesis 15:6
“And he believed in the LORD; and he
counted it to him for righteousness.”
Abraham was totally OBEDIENT to YHWH, having
full faith and trust in him, that it was counted as righteousness. Would he have erected
a holy place over the dead [defiled]?!!

Rather than “spiritually understanding” our “legacy” as a nation of priests
to YHWH, the chastisement of the He-brew/Negro, brought on by YHWH
[enslavement & captivity], does not bring about the holy imagery of Yahshua, our high priest,
[or the priests of the Old Covenant]. Instead we are reminded of slavery – servitude and
bondage - [a “curse” that continues to “plague” our people for breaking YHWH’s law].
Yahshua was also a servant to his disciples; a humble one [Phil 2:8]. He was lashed,
nailed and spit upon; being made sin for us. As our High Priest, he stands in the
“breach” as mediator and servant for us this day!! [Heb 6:20]. The New Covenant
depiction in scriptures, [describing the attire of a holy soldier dressed for spiritual
warfare], should remind us of our true legacy [that of a nation of priests] and the images of
our suffering in the worst holocaust in the history of mankind, should remind us of our
purpose on earth –- to stand in the breech as holy servants and warriors for YHWH, and
as servants to our own people. But in replacing the custom of hanging slaves, it was Willie
Lynch, a southern businessman during 1712 who taught Euro-Gentiles strategies that would
give Hebrew slaves self-perpetuating negative images and “forms of inferiority” to use on
one another. This ‘curse’ has kept us bound and shackled for 400 years. Thus, with these
“unclean spirits” [adultery, fornication, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred,
variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings [JEALOUSY and
competition], murders, drunkenness and reveling–Gal 5:19-21], the Hebrew nation has been
successfully “spoiled” and the noose still hangs visibly from our necks. These things are
manifestations of works in the flesh that lead us away from our inheritance [the
kingdom]!!
“Is Israel a servant? is he a home-born slave? why is he spoiled”? Jeremiah 2:14
Reminders of our suffering should bring about images of the individual warrior. Our own
“rottenness” is an exact depiction of the spiritual condition of our nation. A warrior and
servant who uses the Spirit [the WORD/bible–standing in the breach], with feet clad with
the gospel of peace will allow the words [spoken by the tongue] to cut away the foreskin of
the flesh from the heart as it swings back cutting away the dross from our own.
“Ye have brought into my sanctuary strangers, uncircumcised in heart, and uncircumcised in flesh, to
be in my sanctuary, to pollute it…” Ezekiel 44:7
It is important for us to see that the “WORD” is a two-edged sword that cuts rather than
The W atchm an – The U nited Congregation of Israel
using the “cutting” little member [the tongue] that is described as always “boasting of great
things” -- Jam 3:5. The tongue is a marvelous example of always being exactly what it
is….FLESH!! THESE ARE THE CHAINS THAT BIND [suppress] US.
“The word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword,
piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and
marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” Hebrews
4:12
The keys to unlocking these “shackles from our minds” is learning the ways of Yah……to
interact with one another with “love” and the “peace” of “humility” as a “lamb” [walk in his
laws]. The “righteous” cannot afford to forget that charity [love] does begin at home.
But what is love???
2 John 1:6 “And this is love, that we walk after his commandments.”
YHWH has 613 commandments [laws, statues and judgments] stated in the Old Testament
that the world does not follow, and most do not know they exist. Our nation is being
called to labor and bring forth the “good fruit” of righteousness in the midst of our pain.
Will we learn of our own legacy… a [righteous] nation of priests or continue in the legacy
of ‘Lynch’ and all of it’s sorrow and death??
“Be in pain, and labour [work] to bring forth, O daughter of Zion [Negroes]…for now shalt thou go forth
out of the city [Zion], and thou shalt dwell in the field [wilderness purging], and thou shalt go even to

thine enemies.” Hear O’ Israel. Micah 4:10
