By Rebbe Simon Altaf STATEMENT OF FAITH - African
STATEMENT OF FAITH We are true Y’sra’elites from all backgrounds, Yahudim of Sephardim, Ashkenazim, Middle-Eastern, South-Asian, Asian and African walks and ethnicities believing in Guarding of the Torah of Moses as the everlasting law of G-d which is subsequently illuminated through the prophets (Tanak) and fully revealed in the Messiah Yahushua (NT) who was also similar to the Hassidic Yahudim the son of Yosef but born of the right-ruling virgin Miriam without any physical sexual contact. The true faith has been and will always remain as (The Way), the Hebrew Israelite faith with Torah at its heart and soul. One is born a genetic Lewite but one cannot become a Lewite by conversion. However you can become an Israelite by conversion by your FREEWILL and choice. Rebbe Simon nor any of our rabbinic teachers do not in anyway support any political organization that supports the removal of innocent Palestinians from eretz Israel who want to live in peace and shalom. We do not support political Zionism that has no respect for our Torah and the laws in it on how to treat the foreigners equally nor do we support secular Zionism. We do not teach nor believe that the Ashkenazim are the true children of Israel they are not the chosen seed, never were, never will be (they converted in Khazaria near Caspian sea the sons of Japheth 8th century CE) and this is a deception fostered on the world by Europeans. The true chosen seed were and are African Shemites the colour of Black and Brown. Yes we may have some white mix but albeit small. Rebbe Simon will only stand for the agenda of the G-d of Y’sra’el and justice and not innocent massacres in the name of Zionism. Ignorant Christians alongside political Zionists are uprooting genuine Hebrew Bedouin people from the South of Israel in the guise of planting more trees. We do not support such types of activities. Any colour of skin can engraft into genetic Israel we can help you to become an Israelite even if you were not born one and you can have a guarantee for eternal life in the G-d of Israel by being born of above as long as you Guard and Do the commandments as outlined in the Torah, prophets and writings of the disciples by accepting the contracts therein. Tehilim (Psalm) 19:7 The Torah of YHWH is complete, converting the soul: the testimony of YHWH is trustworthy, making wise the simple. Where did it say the Torah is deficient needing the New Testament? Those are secular books and can never be called sacred or inspired text. Only the uneducated and ignorant in Torah will try to do that. By Rebbe Simon Altaf BM African-Israel, London WC1N 3XX, England (UK) It is right-ruling deed to stand and expose the lies and false statements of political Zionists who pervert justice in the land of Y’sra’el by their unruly deeds this is a mitzvah as our benevolent Rabbis also stated the following. Source "The Transformation" The Voice of Torah, pp 193-196 Rebbe Tsudik Ha-Cohen of Lublin. But the conclusion to be drawn from it is that if the Zionists gain dominion, they will seek to remove from the hearts of Is- rael belief in G-d and in the truth of the Torah. All the intention of these inciters and seducers is, to cast Israel into the infidelity which is destruction. Moreover, seeing that the Zionists and those among them who had at one time claims to sanctity, say that massacres—Heaven forbid—will follow unless their advice is taken, let us emphasize that we have the Divine promise that even though Israel is in exile, nevertheless the memory of Israel will never cease. the tzitzits under the shirts on the katan, while others wear them on their trouser belt loops which allows the commandment to be fulfilled. Tzitzits can be sown into the garment border as was ancient custom also. Women are not required to wear the tzitzits. Three times prayer is mandated in the Torah and prophets for morning, afternoon and evening. Read Deut 6, Ps 55 and Dan 6:10 for this. Women need only pray one times a day per halacha. I hope unto the Lord, my soul hopes for His word that the day of Redemption will come. I hope and stand in expectation of the feet of His anointed. Should three hundred scourges of iron afflict me, I will not budge from my place, now to go up there, and to be attached to the name of the Zionists. There is only one way of rescue/redemption because the G-d of Y’sra’el does not change his mind every few centuries and that is by obedience to YHWH’s voice, His Torah and accepting of the contracts therein. He gives his contracts and we must obey Him end of argument. Misquoting John 14:6 won’t help you. Failure to do so means no rescue or salvation. For me the matter is perfectly plain. The “Haskala” and the reformers who imperil the existence of our people, have been shown that through blatant unbelief they will not succeed in driving Israel from its faith and from its religion. Therefore they have thrown off their garment and put on a cloak of zeal, so that they appear to be zealous on behalf of Judaism but they are in fact digging a mine beneath our faith, and seeking to smuggle Israel from beneath the wings of the Shechinah. From all that has been said there emerges the fact that the Zionists and their rabbis are in error when they decisively assert that were it not for the Zionists, many of our brethren would have changed their faith. They lie to themselves. Because the heretics and the transgressors within the camp of Israel do more damage to us than those who have left the community. Can heretics be regarded as Gedoilim? May there not be many like them in Israel! As for us, we need the reocity of holiness and the spirit of self-sacrifice. (End quote) We wear head coverings of appropriate choosing by the individual, tzitzits or fringes on the four corners of our garments as commanded by YHWH, keep beards and circumcise our sons on the 8th day to enter into the Abrahamic Contract/Agreement. Those who do not circumcise have no part in the Abrahamic Contract with us. Females are not permitted to circumcise nor wear tzitzits. The new male reverts or converts to the Hebrew Israelite faith should circumcise within one year after their conversion and keep the basic minimum Torah laws to start with mentioned in the book of Acts such as kosher eating of animals to enable table fellowship with fellow brothers and sisters. Men and Women both should dress modestly with head coverings as mandatory during worship. Some of our members wear Deuteronomy 6:25 And it shall be our right-ruling, if we ob serve to do all these commandments before YHWH our Elo him, as he has commanded us. In these last days he sent Yahushua who we believe is the Messiah of Y’sra’el who has spoken the words that the Father has given Him. He died by being HUNG on a TREE and was raised by the Father to show that He was sent as the suffering servant Isa 42:1 and Isa 53:5 through whose death the ReNewed Contract given at Moab is ratified. Again its a contract and not utterance of foolish words. The action of DO Torah is important and stands forever. Deuteronomy 29:1, 9, 10 These are the words of the contract/ agreement, which YHWH commanded Musa (Moses) to make with the children of Y’sra’el in the land of Moab, beside the con tract/agreement which He made with them in Horeb. 9 Guard therefore the words of this contract/agreement, and do them, that you may prosper in all that you do. 10 You stand this day all of you before YHWH your Elohim; your captains of your tribes, your elders, and your officers, with all the men of Y’sra’el, Our hearts are circumcised by YHWH and no man has any part in this. This is by faith which is a belief of what YHWH has asked us to do. Deuteronomy 30:6 And YHWH your Elohim will circumcise your heart, and the heart of your descendants, to love YHWH your Elohim with all your heart, and with all your soul, that You may Live. The Contract/Agreement is with two parties identified as the House of Israel and the House of Judah collectively called Beyth Y’sra’el. There is no third party called the Church. It has no authority. The contracts require us to hold fast to the written Torah spoken and acted by the Messiah. All those who reject Messiah and simply hold to a name called ‘Jesus’ paying lip service to a Sunday Church without obedience to the commandments have no kingdom life and will not enter in the sacred places of Y’sra’el in the coming age ever. Our code of prayer - We pray 3 times a day as commanded in the Torah, morning, afternoon and evening. The Ten Commandments are to be recited twice daily with The Shema with the right heart attitude. The Amidah prayer alongside other petitions and homage paid to YHWH are illustrated in our African-Israel Siddur. We encourage our members to learn to wear the Teffilin on their arm and foreheads daily apart from the Sabbaths. This is a commandment. We agree with the 13 principles of the faith and the shemoni esri. All our petitions are to be done facing Jerusalem and if you are not sure to do the best possible by the individual and ask one of our Rabbis near you or rebbe Simon how to determine the direction of the Holy of Holies in the Temple of Jerusalem that will be built in the future. Bowing towards Jerusalem thrice, the real Jerusalem. If you are ashamed to pray to YHWH then you do not need to be part of Y'sra'el. We take our submission to YHWH seriously and discourage converts not fully ready. We extol and exalt Yahushua as the Messiah, any more than that is idolatry and entering into avodah zara holding fast to the Torah which grants us unmerited favour from Ha’Shem and eternal life with physical health. We reject Christendom’s man-made statements and catechisms as utter foolish acts of men. Shema Israel YHWH Elohenu YHWH Echad Debarim 6:4 (HTHS) Hear, O Y’sra’el: YHWH our Supreme One YHWH is Akhad: 1. The Great Ein Sof, the G-d, the Master of the universe, Adonai YHWH is the one and only true G-d. He is the Creator of all things, (Gen 1:1-31), and eternally revealing Himself in an Akhad (Unity of plurality) of the Father, Son, the Holy Spirit and the seven other Spirits of G-d, which are revealed in scripture. (Gen. 1:1, 26; Matt. 3:16; Deut. 6:4; John 12:28, 14:16, 17:5; Acts 5:3-4; Zech 3:9; Rev 3:1). 2. Abbah YHWH is perfect in set-apartness, infinite in wisdom, measureless in power (Deut. 32:4; 2 Chronicles 16:9). He is the head of all in heaven and earth, the supreme authority/ power (John 8:29) and his personal name is YHWH (Exodus 3:14) un- 3. Yahushua the Messiah (Jesus of Nazareth) is the image of the invisible G-d, which is to say, He is Himself the word of G-d. He became like men with a special body prepared in heaven (Ps 40:6; Exo 24:10), being conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Miriam in the likeness of men, the suffering servant. He died upon the Tree as a one time special substitution sacrifice for the sin of the House of Y’sra’el. He arose from the dead on the third day in the body in which He was impaled. He ascended into Heaven in that body, which was glorified, where He is now our interceding High Priest. He will come again personally and visibly and in his own glorified body to set up His Kingdom and to judge the living and the dead with Torah (Psalm 2:6; Matt. 1:18-25; I Peter 2:24, 25; Luke 24; Acts 1:9-11; Matt. 25:3146; Rev. 11:15-17; Rev. 20:4-6; Rev. 20:11-15). Note, all those who reject Torah have no part in the world to come. The Messiah did not come to setup a new religion but He came to fulfill the prophets Matt 5:17 and to continue in the faith of Ju daism through Torah. If you have not noticed He was and is still a Yahudi (Hebrew man). He did not change His status when He went back to heaven to become a European gentile idolater!!! Right now most of them live in idolatry, therefore will not even get the first resurrection and have no rights into the Gates of Jerusalem because of their idolatry. 4. The Ruach Ha Kadosh (Holy Spirit) is to esteem the King Messiah Yahushua as Her representative Son on the earth (John 14:16, 26) and to teach us the truth of Abbah YHWH's Torah by convicting mankind of sin and to pursue right-ruling living. She illuminates Gd’s Word to the believers (Prov 8; John 16:13). The Holy Spirit reveals the feminine aspect of G-d of the heavenly family, who imparts a new nature to those who believe in the atoning work of Messiah of the House of Israel and places them into Messiah's Body engrafting them into spiritual Israel, by an act of spiritual and physical baptism (Matt 28:19-20) provided they swear to uphold the contracts/ agreements in the Torah. The immersion is taken physically under oath to uphold the Torah. The seed of G-d is planted by the Holy Spirit received from Abbah YHWH to place inside us a spiritual act known as the birth from above, Deut 30:6, John 3:3, Luke 8:11. Yahushua is the Middle-Pillar doing the tikkun olam (Repairing the breach) allowing us to the kingdom that He is the head of. 5. Adam was created in the image of G-d and by the direct act of G-d (Gen. 1:26-27; 1 John 5:2; 1 John 4:4). We are all the children of Adam but not the children of G-d unless we have the new birth through Torah. We do not convert to anything but to continue in the Torah of Moses if we are wayward Hebrews genetically and if a gentile then one needs to accept the Torah and uphold it and believe in the Messiah. We agree with Judah’s decrees established while they were in Babylon and in the first century with the precepts of the school of Elder Hillel, the more we do the more we get practiced. This means Abrahamic-Faith members at least adhere to halacha setup by the sages such as Elder Hillel, Judah ha Nasi who codified it etc and are continuously learning where by the Messiah helps us show things for right-ruling living through the Tanak our Sacred text. We are in no conflict to believe in Yahushua as the Messiah. While we believe Yahushua is our Messiah and Adon (Master). This is in no way contravening any Torah law but upholds Torah for the prophet to come Deut 18:18. 6. Heaven is the place of G-d's dwelling. G-d is coming down to dwell with us here on the earth. We do not go up but He will come down In Y’sra’el as His kingdom will be established there in the future. 7. here is only one sacred text and that is the Tanak, the rest of the books of the NT fall in the category of secular. The book of Yashar, Enoch and others pseudoepigrapha fall in the important list for us to study and our part of our history. We believe G-d’s word is without error in the original language of Hebrew and Aramaic. By G-d's sovereign grace, the manuscripts which are accepted by Orthodox Judaism have been preserved to this day without substantial error, so that the Scriptures available to the believer today may be relied upon to be G-d's sacred Word. G-d’s word does not change and or gets abrogated (Mal 3:6). He does not send more books through unknown people unverified by the Temple authorities as many believe today. 8. The Body of Messiah is spiritual Y’sra’el to be manifested into one Body one flock (House of Jacob) of which Messiah is the Head (John 1 0 : 1 6 ; 1). The mission of the Body of Messiah is to gather the lost sheep of the House of Y’sra’el as instructed by the Messiah (Matt 10:6; Matt 15:24) and the true state of Israel to be established in the future. Present Israel is not conforming to G-d and is in direct Torah violation of taking the land by force to establish a state by human hands is forbidden although Jews are allowed to stay in the land on voluntary basis but have no part with the secular government that is Torahless. [ 9. Feasts and sacred days - The weekly Sabbath the original Enochian Calendar with the day falling on a sunrise to sunset, the new moons, the seven annual feasts, the seven yearly Sabbaths and the Jubilee are fundamental commandments, must be believed and kept to the best o four ability wherever we are in the world. The Jubilee is suspended as all the 12 tribes are not yet back in the land and it will be restarted when the Messiah returns. We reject any form of lunar Sabbath or any other manmade Sabbaths such as Saturday, Sunday, Monday or Tuesday but only believe in the Sabbath sunrise to sunset as decreed and agreed by our forefathers which were also practiced by the Tzadokian Lewite priests (Essenes) in Judea and the Messiah. In the year 2013 Hebrew new year beginning March 17 annually they fall on Saturday’s all this year. The Lewites are the forever teachers of YHWH and they instruct rightruling Yahudah how to conduct the laws of the Torah for the rest of Y’sraél. All must submit to the laws or they can walk out and stay out. Mal 2:4-6 And you shall know that I have sent this commandment to you, that my Contract/Agreement might be with Lewi, says YHWH of Armies.5 My Contract/Agreement was with him of life and shalom; and I gave them to him for the fear wherewith he feared me, and was afraid before my name. 6 The Torah of truth was in his mouth, and iniquity was not found in his lips: he walked with me in shalom and equity, and did turn many away from idolatry. 10. Future events are taught in Scripture. These events include the return of King Messiah as the express agent of Abbah YHWH (Jer 23:5-6) (The Body of Messiah spiritual Israel manifesting as physical Israel in the Land of Israel), the judgment of the nations, the restoring of the twelve tribes to the land fully with the House of Ephraim (the northern bride) to be gathered so both Judah and Ephraim become one flock and the establishing of the literal earthly kingdom of the King Messiah for one thousand years as promised to the nation of Israel (Deut 30:3; Isaiah 24:23; Zech. 14:4: Rev. 20:4), followed by the resurrection and judgment of the unruly and the ushering in of the eternal state (Rev. 20:7-15; Rev. 21). We believe the time now is short for the return of Messiah. chal Marriages, the ancient pattern of our Fathers. We believe G-d is restoring the ancient patterns that our forefathers such as Abraham, Isaac and Jacob established and believed in and freely practiced. They placed two wives in the north/south divide and the ruling son was taken from the Northern wife to rule the land. This lifestyle is acceptable for all believers. We reject any people that practice Replacement Theology that they now replace Israel. After careful scriptural consideration we do not think present Israel is yet fulfilled bible prophecy of its inception because G-d will not build a land on six million Jewish lives killed in the holocaust in which the Zionists have their hands. Their blood cries out of the ground for right-ruling justice. G-d also promised to take all the tribes back to Israel which has not yet happened so therefore we wait for the exile not to violate the three oaths that our Yahudim forefathers took not to go up to the land and take it by force and not to fight unruly wars with the gentiles. Our function in the exile is to teach the Torah and illuminate the Messiah until He re turns and takes us home. The majority of the ten tribes are still in eastern Muslim lands alongside Europe and America and Africa. Many of these are as originally the black Shemite people today who belong to ancient Israel. The twelve tribes have a special place in G-d's heart and G-d loves the true Yahudim people of colour as the contract/agreement peo ple (Malachi 1:2-3, Deuteronomy 7:7-8) and the other 10 dispersed tribes, which He will yet gather to Himself as the divorced wife that needs to return. Kul Y’sra’el is to practice the Torah lifestyle and not to formulate gentile marital contracts which are forbidden in the Torah Deut 7:1. A person should practice marriage using the Torah only patterns. We reject all gentile marriage patterns of serial monogamy. We do not encourage the practice of asceticism because the very first commandment in Torah is to "Be fruitful and multiply", howcould this be done by remaining ascetic? We discourage this practice and believe it is for some people for a short duration of time only but the Torah does not mandate it. We do not teach to mutilate of flesh which is forbidden such as male castration or any forms of such gentile behaviors. 15- 11-G-d has made an eternal contract/agreement with the twelve tribes. (E.g. Genesis 17:7; Jeremiah 31:35-37). These were all people of colour. Ashkenazim became converts to our faith in the 8th century CE in Khazaria near the Black Sea fulfilling the prophecy in Gen 9:27 of taking over the land and calling themselves chosen. Torah instruction is for our increase and right-ruling living as in structed by Messiah Matthew 5:17-19 and to become His disciples it is essential John 8:31-31, because it sets us free from the world ly bondage of human laws. 12- We believe that Yahushua is the Messiah is the eternal spoken and demonstrating Torah and it is through the Torah that we come to know Him thus the Torah stands forever, without Torah G-d cannot judge sin and without Torah the Messiah cannot be known and without Torah there is no right-ruling and no salvation. Torah not only reveals sin but also reveal right-ruling and how to live it. Deut 4:6 and Deut 30:19. Torah is life. If you reject Torah you have accepted DEATH. 13- We believe G-d has revealed the end from the beginning Isaiah 46:10 so we cannot discard Torah, the law and the beginning and call it only for the Yahud only, this kind of theology is not acceptable to us because G-d has declared that "My Council stands." The contract/agreement on Mount Sinai was made with the twelve tribes and subsequently renewed at Mount Nebo Deut 29:2, which our sages recognize as the NEW contract/agreement. 14- We believe attested by the Tanak that Israel’s lifestyle was only Patriar- The Torah will be taught by the King Messiah right out of Jerusa lem through His teachers that is us who understand anything of Torah and He will correct us where we are wrong in the Millen nium and hence it is good instruction for our living, yet we must do Torah for declaring our right-ruling state. Isaiah 2:3 "Many people shall come and say, "Come, and let us go up to the mountain of Adonai, to the house of the G-d of Jacob; he will teach us His ways, and we shall walk in His paths.'' For out of Zion shall go forth the Torah and the word of YHWH from Jerusalem" 16- All those people that do not believe in the salvation on offer will be destroyed at the end just like Noakh’s flood– terminated!!!! John 3:15 and Matt 10:28. 17- There is a resurrection of the dead but there is NO Rapture. This is a false teaching that has enveloped many churches today of Christian denominations to which we have no part. Christians should learn to walk according to scriptures more accurately be cause they are going to have to do a lot of walking when the rap ture does not arrive and they will have to walk back to Israel. Be prepared and do not be deceived. Jeremiah 50:4 "In those days and in that time,'' says YHWH, "The children of Israel shall come, they and the children of Judah to gether; with continual weeping they shall come, and seek YHWH their Elohim. 18- We believe in protecting G-d’s most sacred name when we are in an unfit or unclean state ritually and not to profane it by speaking it to the gentiles, who do not yet know how to handle it. How ever we use it freely in our worship. When we disobey Torah we are also then profaning his name, this practice is discouraged, while many Christians practice this then they will reap the re wards of such practice. 19. We reject Paul as an apostle since he has been revealed as a deceitful apostle in Revelations 2:2 alongside two others but many still do not recognize this and continue to follow his anti Torah teachings. We need to discern a true prophet versus a false prophet and discernment is a rare gift few have. We tell the truth as it is. Let those who have ears hear, hear.
