KEEPING THE CUSTOMS AND TRADITION OF THE LAND (7) BY PROPHET GOODNEWS ADOLPHUS

THE NEW COVENANT BETWEEN THE GODS AND THE HOLY ONE


The gods of the land carry on their evil and good activities through their priests ministering to them in their shrines. Although you may destroy those shrines and kill those priests yet you are wasting your time. Your can kill those priests but not the gods of the land. They will continue to exist as it happened in Israel as all attempt to wipe them out failed beginning with Prophet Elijah and the prophets of Baal which he killed. So the worshiping of other gods in Israel continued until God scattered them to various parts of the world for his jealousy for worshiping foreign gods in their land. So it is not possible to completely destroy the gods because they are immortal beings. LET NO MAN DECEIVE YOU!.

Therefore this war between the religious leaders and the gods cannot not continue forever  because both of them are working in the land for the same course in order to sanitize the land but each religious groups are proving to be very superior to the gods and calling them demons and Satan. 

Therefore, the end-time Elijah who had dealt with those gods in Israel will return with a new plan to unify  both parties so that the war between them will end. Therefore Prophet Malachi mentioned of his arrival and said he will come before the terrible and great day of the Lord and will turn the heart of the fathers to the children and the children to their fathers. 

Based on this development, the fathers are the gods and the ancestors of the land and the children will now follow the customs and tradition laid down by their fathers. While Jesus said, Elijah will come and shall restore all things. This will include the former customs and tradition of the land which had been condemned by religious group. (Mal. 4:5-5 and Mat, 11: 7-15). 

Now the big question is who will become the broker of peace between the gods of the land and the religious group? This will involve the two great biblical Supper Stars that have dealt with the gods in the land of Israel historically. The first was King Solomon and the other was Prophet Elijah. End-time Prophet Elijah is to reinforce the customs  and tradition of the gods in conformity with the holy laws of Moses while King Solomon will become the King of the gods of the Land based on the holy laws because he had dealt with the gods in Israel a great deal. Let us go into science to find out the answer before we continue.

Here the Hydrogen Atom can become the peace broker between the religions group and the gods of the land. Based on fact that Hydrogen is the most common gas available in all elements in the Universe. It is the best neutralizer, (See uses of Hydrogen in search engines). It is the first and the last, the beginning and the end, the ALFA and OMEGA in terms of Atomic weight and number which represent “Jesus Christ”. He is known as the “SON OF GOD”. Is the best mediator of peace in the whole universe. He was first called “King Solomon” meaning peace - thus he is the Prince of Peace.

He will team up with Prophet Elijah to make peace between the gods of the land and the religious groups in the end-time based on the fact that most of the gods of the land are saints like the angels in heaven. So they are going to team up with Elijah to fight the war of Armageddon and Prophet Elijah of old also known as the Archangel Michael will become their Commander General in the war of Armageddon. Where he cannot reach the gods will be there anywhere in the universe. They represent the dry bones that rise again in the prophecy of Ezekiel chapter 37.

King Solomon the Son of God was the first peace broker between the gods of the foreign nations and the God of Israel during his reign and through him there was peace between the nation of Israel and those foreign nations and their gods for forty years although the God of Israel was very jealous about his interaction with those foreign gods in Israel as a Jew. Yet he brought peace between all the nations warring with Israel because he is the prince of peace. (See the book of kings and chronicles for more details).” What has been is what will be; there is nothing new under the sun”(Eccles. 1:9). 

Being the Son of God, he had authority over all the demons and all manner of evil spirits because they all know him as the “CHOSEN ONE” whose name is called "Jesus Christ" the Son of God in the New Testament. All the demons called him the "HOLY ONE" and "SON OF THE MOST HIGH GOD" (Mat. 1:24,5:7 (Revelation chapter 5) Therefore based on this name “HOLY ONE” will the new covenant be established between the gods of the land and the Holy One based on the following terms:

1.Based on this new covenant, all shrines must be pull down and all trees  associated with the those gods be bunt off and be uprooted out. A new Temple shall be built on that same place like the new shrine of Gideon (See the book of Judges).

2.Each land has a chief of the gods; therefore the name of the head god will become the name of the new temple. Prophet Daniel was called by the name of the god of Babylon instead. The name become the link between the Holy One and the gods of the land based on the fact that the name of God vary from one language to another and from one tribe to anther and from one nation to another and from one religion to another before the arrival of the bible and the Koran.

3.The cross of Jesus will become the symbol of the Holy One on which he was crucified and that will be shown to the whole world in the sky during his second coming to remind them of all the sufferings he went through and any eye that see that cross coming in the sky amidst the cloud must cry out like a child in the hand looking as if he was crucified on that same day. For more details, see my article “REVELATION OF HIS SECOND COMING”. There shall be four crosses on the side of the shrines. On at the front, one at the back and one on each side facing east, west, south and north. This shall be the shrine of the "HOLY ONE".

4. All images of the gods shall be removed and be destroyed and the picture of the Holy One  shall replace the image of the gods instead. The HOLY ONE shall be called by the name of the chief god of the land according to the language of the people of the land ascribed to God. Therefore the Holy One become the head of all the gods in that land like the case of John the Baptist and Jesus Christ. John was the founder of the church which Jesus came and took over as the high priest because he was baptized by John the Baptist. Therefore the church is the Baptist Church which he attended and was baptized at the Jordan. To begin, the priest must be baptized by one of the Church Priests, and must take a holy communion with the HOLY ONE according to the normal church communion practice and must use the holy books such as the holy bible or the Koran in the new temple.

The wine represents the blood of the HOLY ONE and the bread represent the flesh of the HOLY ONE. The priest and those working with him must take this communion after a fasting of seven days was observed before the temple is declared opened. THE COMMUNION TAKEN IS THE SIGNATURE OF THE COVENANT BETWEEN THE PRIEST AND THE HOLY ONE FOR WHICH THE GODS ARE THE WITNESS AND MUST ABIDE BY THIS COVENANT.

5.There will be no more evil rituals, witch craft, murder, robbery, husband snatching, love portions, and anything as evil assignment to hurt someone or block some  success,  casting spell on someone, hypnotism – no more form of evil sacrifices. If the priest of the gods does that he will be struck down by the gods with any form of sickness and could led to his dead.

6. He should not pour libation, offering blood sacrifice involving human beings and animal or births. The Holy One has concluded that sacrifice on the cross once and for all. The Priest must dress as the priest of the Holy ONE and must not mar his face with paint or look like a monster.

7 In praying, he must include the name of the Holy One and names of all the gods of the land according to their assignment and capabilities and in your songs. You must recognize them as you recognize a king with his elders working with him. You must not neglect to mention the names of the gods of the land and that is the glory they receive from the people they serve. The church must take the form of  Pentecostal, Anglican, Roman Catholic and similarity.

8. A king is honored or feared because of his great armies. Therefore, you must mention the names of the gods of war and the great heroes of the land such as the God of Abraham, God of Elijah, God of King David, etc. You must mention the notable heroes of the land of the past as your ancestors and the gods of the land.

9.The gods will police the land and remove all forms of abominations that that defile the land and the gods will arrest the offender either by sickness until he confess or face dead and to maintain the virginity of the young women before marriage. The marriage must be recognized by the priest of the gods of the land and the Holy One after the approval of their parents. There must be no prostitution in the land. The gods policing the land will wage war and strike the offenders both men and women alike.

10. The priest of the gods in the new temple must be holy as the priest of the HOLY ONE. He must not be a drunker, adulterer, fornicator, one who practice witchcraft to hurt someone even if they offer him huge some of money, he should reject it. He will be attacked by the gods immediately because he has violated the covenant of the Holy ONE. So he must not attempt to do any of those evil practices.

11. There will be great manifestation of the power of the Most High in terms of healing, signs and wonders of the HOLY ONE to be praised during the prayer and music sections in the temple of the HOLY ONE.

12. Tithes, offerings, seed offerings and vows should be given out in the temple by the people of the land and there shall be blessed according to their faith.

KEEPING THE CUSTOMS AND TRADITION OF THE LAND (6) BY PROPHET GOODNEWS ADOLPHUS

THE WAR BETWEEN THE GODS AND RELIGIOUS BODIES

Nothing good comes during war times. An enemy is an enemy. Good days are gone and nothing good will come out until the war is over between the gods and the religious bodies in the end-time.

The religious bodies claims that they can sanitize the society more better than the gods who are called “demons and Satan. But the gods of the land wants to prove to them that they are their superiors and they are immortal beings but the are mortal beings that disappear into the dust of the earth to join them but they as the gods of the land will exist forever.

Therefore the gods stand on their feet to defend their land. TheY now form association with anything called evil as their weapon to fight against the religions bodies. Instead of providing security for the land and sanitize the society against abominable behavior, they are now in full support for any kind of criminal activities in order to frustrate the effort of the religious groups. They have penetrated into the churches and mosques and falsify the whole religious system by stopping the preaching of holiness but rather prosperity and riches backed up with signs and wonders and with suicide bombardment all in the name of religion.

Therefore the gods are winning while the religious bodies are on the loosing side. The gods are in full support of ritual killings, armed robbery, witchcraft, cultism and forming various evil groups in the whole world. They say "LET US SEE HOW THEY CAN SANITIZE THE LAND WITHOUT US". Just as the churches and mosques are spreading likewise they are also spreading their network all to fight against the religious bodies and they are getting upper hand. The religious bodies cannot withstand them because they use both physical and spiritual weapons to fight them.

THE DEFENSE OF THE ANCIENT TRADITIONAL AND CUSTOMS

As you read from article 1 to 5, you will see how I have used the bible to exposed to you how the ancient Judaism was born out of the pagan religions involving idolatry and human sacrifice and how it relates to the ancient pagan religion. Pagan religion involve idol worshiping and human sacrifice which is part of ancient Judaism which is being refined into Christianity and Islam to exclude human sacrifice in as much as Jesus is involved in both religion and that makes the big difference from the ancient Judaism.

Except the exclusion of human sacrifice, it is now evident that all religions are one all over the world. See my article, "MIDDLE EAST CRISIS: ISRAEL MUST FOLLOW KING SOLOMON PEACE PLAN" ‘JUDAISM , A MODIFIED EGYPTIAN RELIGION” and “JUDAISM AND HUMAN SACRIFICE” in search engine.

THE CUSTOMS AND TRADITION OF THE YUROBAS

The Yoruba tribe of Nigeria are by far the richest Nigerians in terms of religion and professionalism based on the fact that they combine the heavenly factor and the earthly factors together mentioned in part 1`of this article. The political and economic power lies in their hands as one of the key power brokers in Nigeria. The city of Lagos is the busiest commercial city in Nigeria tagged “The City of Excellence”

The land of the Yorubas is a fertile land in Nigeria based on the fact that it combined the two factors mentioned above. Today Yorubas rule the whole world in Christianity and the have the biggest churches in the whole world as Yoruba indigences. Some of these mega churches include, The Redeemed Christian Church of God, The Living Faith Bible Church, Deeper life Bible Church, The Synagogue Church of all Nations, Logos Ministries, Cherubim and Seraphim, Celestial Church of Christ and several others in the Yoruba land with a global presence.

In Nigeria, the Yoruba land has become the land of Canaan and Lagos has become the New Jerusalem to other indigenous Pentecostal churches located outside the Yoruba land. More than ninety percent of indigenous Pentecostal churches pay tithes to this big Yoruba churches and their Pastors as their Mentors. Some even carry sand from the Yoruba land and pour on their church's premises for their church to grow like them.

The secret of their success is that they respect and observe their ancient customs and traditions as laid down by their ancestors. Evidently, they observe their annual cultural and traditional festival. Each year they will fly from all over the world to celebrate it and show it openly to the whole world live in the television and in cable satellites quite unlike any other tribe in Nigeria. The are not ashamed of the abuses they receive from others Christians although more than ninety percent of them actively involved in those customs and traditions are Christians from various churches.

These annual customs and traditions festival they observed are condemned by few Christians and from those big Yoruba Pastors regarded it as demonic and satanic instead. However, they are now a blessing to the whole of the Yoruba kingdom like the case of Judas who betrayed our Lord and is a blessing to all Christians and the whole world because if not him, we would not have preached about his dead, resurrection and his second coming. These annual festival the Yoruba perform, makes the gods of the land happy because they seems to be only tribe in the African regions that project them to the whole world; so they in return project them to the whole world because they are gods of the land and can do anything to lift you up and bring you down.

THE BENINS OF NIGERIA

These are people from the Edo State of Nigeria and their cultural and traditional activities looks like the Yorubas and they also perform annual traditional festivals as well according to a television programme called “GOGA AFRICA”. Similarly, they have some of the biggest churches spreading across the world. In this region, we have the Founder of the Church of God Mission late Arch Bishop Benson Idahosa the father of the modern Pentecostalism in Nigeria and reformist. Also from this very region, came Pastor Chris of the Christ Embassy based in Lagos - a church with a global presence and several other churches from this region.

THE IGOBS OF NIGERIA

The Igbo also known as “Ibos” are known to be the best film actors and best gospel artists in Nigeria. They are the Pioneers of Nolly Wood of Nigeria. They project their cultural activities through firm acting and educate the world about the ancient culture and tradition of the Ibos and Africans. However, their activities are being over influenced by Christian religions in their acting. They should as well show the positive side of the ancient cultural and tradition and how it sanitized the community against criminal activities and the virginity of the young women before they got marriage. They dominate the export and import trade in Nigeria and great international preachers of the gospel emerged from this regions.


THE AFIK OR CALABAS OF NIGERIA

Here the whole of Akwa Ibom and Afik people are all Calabas of Nigeria. They are also very proud of their tradition and culture and are very loved by Nigerians because they are very simple and loving people. From this region comes the Brother Hood of the Christ and Star - one of the ancient Church founded by Leader Olumba, Olumba Obu. It is a church with a presence in all continents of the whole world. Amazingly, the church have a very wonderful choir that uses their mouths as their musical instrument. Recently, they won the first price at the Rivers State choir competition. In 2010, Calabar hosted the biggest choir festival in the whole world according the Guinness Book of Record. It is a region of several Pentecostal churches and some with cable satellite television stations.

THE KALABARIS OF RIVERS STATE OF NIGERIA

The people of Kalabri of Rivers State of Nigeria are one of the people known to have loved their culture and tradition like the Yorubas of Nigeria. The have some of the well known indigenous Churches that spread without Yoruba’s mentorship unlike other Pentecostal churches in Nigeria. This includes Greater Evangelism World Crusade of Apostle G D Numbere, a church with an international presence. The other is the Christ Army Church of Nigeria of Prophet Gerick Braide also with international presence and among other churches in this regions.

THE POWER BEHIND THE IMAGE

The spiritual image of a person or angels can be manipulated into different function and usages depending on the believe and faith someone has already developed on the original person during his life time on earth and his past action and character. The caved image does not speak, sees and walk but the spirit behind the image sees more than as you can see and also speaks and walk as you do.

Therefore, image is the symbol of the spirit being which is worshiped and not the image based on the fact that whenever you mention the name of that image of the angel or ancestor anywhere by faith, it works according to your faith and believe.
Evidently, Moses Ark carried the image of the two angels. As he went in to pray, he had the voice of God above the two carved image of the angels called the “Cherubim”. Now if someone sees Moses alone with the Ark carrying the image of the two angels, he is seen as worshiping idols or image of angels in the real sense because the voice is not visible to see but the image of the two angels like wise the priests of other gods hears the voice of their oracles or spirits and not their caved image that speak. Angels are called “LORD”, “GOD” “ JEHOVAH” in the bible. So the angels represent the image of God; so Moses was worshiping God’s image as angels.

Evidently, the bronze serpent of Moses did not heal the wounds of Israel but the spirit behind the image and that image on the pole represents the Messiah who shall be hung on a pole or cross in the New Testament of whom Prophet Isaiah said, “…by his stripes we are healed…” ( Isaiah chapter 53 and John chapter 3).
The two angels on the Ark carved did not perform the miracles but the spirit of the two angels which represent the two witnesses namely Moses and Elijah whose angelic names are Gabriel as Moses the introducer of the law, Michael as Elijah the re-enforcer of the law which was kept in the Ark of the Covenant carrying the caved image of the two angels.

Moreso, the image of the Blessed Mary does not perform those miracles but the spirit of the Blessed Mary, the Goddess and Queen of the Universe and the Mother of God the Son.

The golden image of the king of Babylon did not give him the power to rule the whole world under heaven but the god or spirit behind the image of whom Prophet Jeremiah said God had given him dominion over all nations including animals and birds to serve him and that Israel must submit and bow to him if not he will come an invade their land. Not only to serve him but to serve his gods and bow to them as well. In that case, they were not worshiping those images but the spirits of the gods of Babylon behind the image as Moses as earlier predicted in accordance with the prophecy of Jeremiah about the 70 weeks of years in Babylon as interpreted in the prophecy of Daniel (Jeremiah chapter 27 and Daniel chapter 9).

Therefore, right in the wilderness, the whole nation of Israel were worshiping the caved image of the two angels positioned on the Ark of the Covenant that was kept in the Holy of Holiest performing great signs and wonders which lead them into the battle field and returned with victory just as the gods of other nations do to their people such as the Egyptians, Assyrians, Babylonians, Meia-Persian, Greece, Rome and other great kingdoms that had ruled. They all believe in the spirits and angels which they called “gods” and made image for them as well.

Therefore both Israel and other nations did not worship those images in the real sense but the spirit and power behind those images like the carved image of the Blessed Mary and the crucifix of Jesus whose names they mentioned in prayers and they get instant result like the Roman Catholic churches and others.

THE IMPORTANCE OF THE ANCESTRAL SPIRITS

In Matthew chapter 17, the two ancestral spirits of Moses and Elijah that appeared to Jesus Christ on the mount of Transfiguration implies that ancestors has a great rule to play in the lives of their people by giving them the right direction to follow based on the customs and tradition of the land. The law is that you must not invoke out the spirit of the ancestors or angels for consultation but they can appear to their people either in person or through vision and dreams when they pray for revelation or direction through their prophets or Priests. It is an abomination to invoke a spirit out and send it to do harm. Just lay down your request and the gods will do it for you in the manner it seems right in their own eyes. This will be detailed in the last article of this message.

The ancestral spirits do appear and give warning when there is danger ahead or when people are going contrary to the customs and tradition of the land. That is their responsibility as Moses and Elijah did to Jesus Christ. He did not invoke them out to consult them but they appeared on their own as the two witlessness to encourage him about what he was about to face in Jerusalem as the last assignment because he is their leader and if he fails they whole universe will be disappointed. So spiritually, they did not leave him alone even in the Garden of Gethsemane one of them still came down and encouraged him in the night he was arrested.

The same way your mother or father who is late would come to you in the dream even physically in disguised manner to warn you of the danger to come if you are doing what is not right and that depend how she passed her life during her life time. The wrong person would appear to tell you to do sacrifices to him or her else he or she will deal with you. This is a bad spirit but the right spirit will always remind you of the ways of the Lord and to encourage you to continue and never give up as they did to Jesus Christ. That is the difference between the two spirits.

A spirit is like the negative of a photograph which can be reproduced into millions of copies from the same image and can be manipulated into several styles and designs like in the electronic media showing the recoded or live images of persons performing one thing or the other and transmitted into several television sets . This is the same omnipresence factor of the spirits. Thus it is written “ I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh……” (Joel chapter 2:28-29). The spirit is released and possesses people with various gifts known as spiritual gifts but all is from the same spirit being .

The main spirit being lives in heaven but releases his spirit and possesses millions of persons at the same time performing different functions and assignment based on their individual gifts given by the same spirit being. For example, you can hear the sound of an engine of a motor car but as you open the brunet, you could see all kinds of metal, wire, oil, fuel etc all performing different factions in order to make the car moving.

In science, there are certain elements whose atomic structure can cooperate to form electrovalent bond while other elements do not agree to come together to form a specific function. So there are different group of elements. Also in human being not every man and woman would come together in marriage to produce children unless they are of the right genotype and blood group although they are all human beings even though they look alike in appearance.

Now if you are the good type and you die, your image will still function in the spirit world to be giving good advice to others as an ancestral spirit as a Saint while your real soul leaves in Paradise with God. In the same way if you are bad, you image will function in doing evil to others but your soul is tormenting in the lake of fire burning with brimstone after you have died.

They can invoke your spirit if you are bad to do all kinds of wickedness but they cannot invoke the good spirit of yours to do evil because your are not of the same group. The appearance of the spirit as image of the dead is known a familiar spirit – meaning something that looks alike or very familiar. The evil spirit is what the bible called “unclean spirit” in order to differentiate it from the good spirit. Consequently, when King Saul sinned, the good spirit of God departed from him and evil spirit from God possessed him according to the book of 1 Samuel chapter 16.
In another development, the spirit of a leader can posses his followers when he is still alive and after dead. For example, the spirit of Moses possessed the Seventy Elders of Israel and Joshua before and after his dead. The same applies to Prophet Elijah and Elisha after his ascension. Jesus gave power to his Apostles to heal the sick before and after his ascension and the very spirit was passed on to the church till today.

More evidently, the gift and attitude of a church founder also possesses the members who also perform like him because his spirit is in them so they possess his image in their action like father –like- son.

REINCARNATION

Reincarnation itself is the reflection of the image of the original person displaying similar character and action in another person but is not the original person. Therefore John the Baptist came in the spirit and power of Elijah but was not the real Elijah but reflected the same image of Elijah in actions, character and lifestyle just like Prophet Goodnews Adolphus does. Therefore in that sense John the Baptist was the re-incarnate of Elijah as Jesus testified (Matthew chapter 17).

For example, in music production, the master tape which is the original tape of the composer, can mass produce into millions of copies likewise is the spirit of the ancestors depending on the group he belongs either good or bad. Similarly, Jesus Christ was the reflection and image of King Solomon the very Son of God and likewise the very spirit of the Son of God reflects in the life of other world religious founders such as Moses of Judaism and other world religious founders and their own history would look alike like the lifestyle and character of Prophet Elijah and John the Baptist case. Moses had the same character with Jesus Christ (Number chapter 12) same as King Solomon of old who was given the title “SON OF GOD” and the Prince of Peace from the root of David while Moses was of Levi. Therefore the real Son of God was King Solomon the son of David which was reflected in the image of Jesus Christ the Son of God being the son of King David in conformity with the prophecies.
.
Also for an example, the spirit of an ancestor is like the broadcaster in a television station facing the cameras and his image is transmitted live into millions of television sets in their living rooms but the quality of each television set vary from one manufacturer to another. Some televisions are made of a very high quality standard showing very bright pictures, good audio and powerful reception but other do not have the same quality like them but all are television sets. Also on each product we have best and largest producers in the whole world. Therefore, the spirit of the Son of God reflecting on world religious founders may be called by different names in several world religions such as Avatar, Messiah, Christ, Inman Madi, etc. to appear again in the end-time. In all these, Israel has produced the world most famous and popular religious leader called “Jesus Christ” founder of Christianity followed by Prophet Mohammed of Saudia Arabia founder of Islam.

KEEPING THE CUSTOMS AND TRADITION OF THE LAND (3) BY PROPHET GOODNEWS ADOLPHUS

IMAGE WORSHIP AND SIGNIFICANCE


The Jews were not allowed to worship the image of other gods in their own land based on the laws of Moses but their own gods or deity. The laws of Moses says that you must not worship other gods in the likeness of any image both in heaven and on earth (Deuteronomy chapter 4. Therefore worshiping the image of a Jewish god is not a sin according to the Mosaic laws.

Consequently, the ark of God containing the images of the two angels ( the two Cherubim) stands as the image of the GOD (gods) of Israel. This miracle box containing the ten commandment had been performing great signs and wonders carrying the images of the two angels since every “GOD” or “Lord’ mentioned in the bible is an angel. This miracle box divided the River Jordan, crumbled the wall of Jericho, invaded the lands of the philistine when it was captured and it was Israel prime source of victory in war times according to the book of 1st Samuel.

More evidently, the image of the Blessed Mary called the “Black Madonna” had performed great signs and wonders in Poland and in other parts of the world and won victories for that nation in several battle field like the Ark of the convent bearing the two images of the two angels in the days of old. The signs and wonders of the image of the Blessed Marry are acknowledged all over the world (see search engines for more details).

In another development, the caved imaged of Jesus as statue is bleeding blood on the areas he got his inquiries such as his palms, feet and side during crucifixion from time to time and his image has been mysteriously appearing on several objects around the world. The crucifix of Jesus Christ has been performing miracles in several parts of the world and resists demonic attacks. In India, the statue of Apostle Thomas do breed out blood from time to time at the place he was killed because of the gospel.

Therefore, people use the image of spirits or angels and worship as gods including ancestors as a channel to the Almighty Creator according to their belief and faith. Other nations also worship the images of spirits and human beings as gods and they got their results based on their faith according to the customs and tradition of the land.

Therefore, when the Jews abandoned their God (gods) and worship the image of other gods for help and for other purposes, it becomes idolatry worship and is regarded as sin based on the laws of Moses. However, foreigners are free to worship those images of other gods in Israel in the fear of the Lord as detailed in part 1 of this article but must not join them unless is one of the spirits of the gods of Israel because the God of Israel is a Jealous God.

Evidently, in Judges chapter 17 and 18, an image belonging to one of the Jews from the tribe of Ephraim by name Micah was worshiped and had a Levitical Priest that was promoted from being a Priest and a father to Micah to become a priest to a whole tribe of Dan because the image gave them victory in the battle field and gave them directions through the Priest as a link to Jehovah God because it was not a foreign image but was caved by Micah himself in the likeness of one of the gods or ancestors; therefore it was considered sacred and worshiped as a Jewish god.

Therefore Prophet Daniel in Babylon was right to worship the golden image with all the Jews because it was one of the gods of Babylon that gave the king victory in all wars including the defeated of the entire Judah. Therefore he dedicated all the holy vessel he captured in the temple of Jerusalem to the temple of his gods in Babylon according to Daniel chapter 1. But Daniel and the Jews in Babylon will never try that if they lived in Israel unless is consider to be one of the Jews images or idols as Micah did and like the two angels of the Ark and like the image of the blessed Marry and the crucifix of Jesus Christ,

The Jews were not accused of worshiping their own idols or images hut of the foreign images in Israel. The bible always specifically mentioned the owners of those images they worshiped like in the case of King Solomon idols which included the names of those idols and their country of origin and as mentioned in the book of 2nd kings chapter 17 and other kings that worshiped those idols. Significantly, the bronze serpents lifted up by Moses in the wilderness is considered as a Jewish idol or image which healed them from the wounds of the snake bites. It was Moses that gave them the laws of not worshiping other gods but this one was Jewish so it was not an abomination unless it was a foreign bronze serpent.

Their serving of foreign gods on exile was the fulfillment of the prophecy of Moses in Deuteronomy chapter 4 which Daniel have used to advice the entire Jews in Babylon so that they do not perish by the anger of the King. God allowed them to serve foreign gods in foreign lands based on the fact that the customs and traditions of those people in those counties will not be the same with the customs and tradition of the people of Israel.

KEEPING THE CUSTOMS AND TRADITION OF THE LAND (2) BY PROPHET GOODNEWS ADOLPHUS

It is a now clear that Prophet Daniel was among the Jews that worshiped the golden image of Babylon except Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego his three friends. According to Deuteronomy chapter 4 verse 27 to 31, Moses predicted that the Jews on exile will serve foreign gods wade of wood and stones that cannot see, hear or smell. This prophecy fulfilled as the king of Babylon gave his decree that everyone in his kingdom must bow and worship his image and whosoever that refuses will be thrown into the furnace of fire. Prophet Daniel was one of the famous figure of the king's palace and was among the royal dignitaries that was present during the great occasion. Evidently, his name was not mentioned with his three friends that had refused to bow down to the golden image.

It appears that there was a misunderstanding between him and his three friends on this matter. As humans, like Joseph and his brothers, they too had envied him sowing jealousy as their friend and class mate in the Babylonian school who suddenly jumped up far above them and became famous throughout the whole of Babylon as the first of the three presidents appointed by the king of Babylon. Prophet Daniel must have warned them of the danger ahead but they refused to listen to him but insisted that even though if the God of their fathers fails them, they will not bow down to the golden image and would prefer to die by fire instead.

So these three Hebrew youths were alone among the thousands of the Jews that worshiped the golden image including Prophet Daniel himself. According to the book of Daniel, he was very loyal to the king his master in all aspect and there was no fault in him. What provoked the God of the three Hebrew youths was the statement of the king who said “Let me see the god that will save you from my hand” as they refused bowing to the golden image. According to their faith, they were saved by the God of their fathers who sent his angel and delivered them from the furnace of fire. The king saw the angel of the Lord as one of the sons of the gods.

However, Prophet Daniel and the rest of the Jews that bowed down to the golden image were right based on the fact that they should not have worshiped any other gods except the God of their fathers and this law only applies to the land of Israel and not in another country they lived because the culture and tradition of Israel is not the same with those in another country(ies). Daniel knew this mystery with much more deeper understanding than his friends and must have educated all the Jews in Babylon as their Ambassador in Babylon about the prophecies of Moses on this regard but his three friends claiming equality with him resisted him thinking he had been overtaken by the pleasure he had been enjoying in the kings palace and in fact they took him to be like King Solomon of old who had fallen from the faith and worshiping idols. By his divine wisdom, he saved the rest of the Jews from the furnace of fire just as Queen Esther did in Babylon. More so, he was not answering his real name rather he was called by the name of one of the gods of Babylon given to him by the king himself because of his outstanding wisdom.

The Jews are to keep those customs and tradition in their own land as stated in the laws of Moses and not in foreign countries because if they go against those customs and tradition, they will all perish in those countries because as they say “ If you go to Rome you must behave like the Romans. Those people living in Israel were allowed to practice their own religion which is the culture and tradition of their countries that quite agrees to the culture and tradition of Israel. But the law of Moses forbid Israel from serving other gods in their own county Isreal but strangers could serve their own gods instead in Israel as it happened in ancient Israel as stated in part 1 of this articles. In the same way, they could introduce their religion to those countries they lived as well, but the God of Israel being very jealous did not allow them to serve other gods in their own land. Therefore, the Jews must obey the customs and tradition of those people in the countries they lived as they scattered abroad as Apostle Paul also remarked (Romans chapter 13)

Although Prophet Daniel worshiped those Babylonian gods as predicted by Moses in respect of the Jews on exile, his heart was also set to worshiping the God of his fathers in Israel. In Daniel chapter 9, he was fasting and praying for the nation of Israel and was referring to the prophecy of Prophet Jeremiah about the 70 weeks of years termination. Thus he was combining the two religion. One is the religion of their father in Israel and the religion of Babylon. If he was not deep in astrology as part of the Babylonian religion, he cannot receive and interpret astrological revelation relating to the constellations of the stars and their Zodiac signs such as the vision of the He goat, the Ram etc.

His combination of his two religion, made him the famous and wisest man throughout the whole kingdom of Babylon. His exaltation as the head of the whole of Babylon sparked off jealousy and as a result his fellow wise men set him up to be killed. They could now find any fault in him but for one thing, they knew him as someone who always worship the God of his father. Evidently, he was caught worshiping another god after the king had signed a decree that whosoever that does it shall be cast into the Lion’s den.

Evidently, Daniel was caught of worshiping other god and not that he refused to worship Babylonians gods unlike his three friends. Yet the God of his fathers that he served delivered him from the lions den. Read the book of Daniel for more details. Continue to part 3 of this article.

KEEPING THE CUSTOMS AND TRADITION OF THE LAND (1) BY PROPHET GOODNEWS ADOLPHUS

Christianity and Islamic religion are spreading all over the world but yet cannot sanitize the society contrary to what they preached both from the holy Koran and the holy bible unless they incorporate their teachings into the original customs and traditions of the land with modification in each nation then there will be total sanity in the land. It is written, “Do not remove the ancient land marks which the fathers have set” (Prov. 22:28).

Those teachings in Christianity and Islam condemn most ancient customs and traditions that sanitize the land in terms of good moral behavior as recommended by the gods of the land which they regarded as “DEMONIC AND SATANIC” in their teachings.

 The very Christians and Moslems do not love themselves. We can see Moslems killing Christians and Christians killing Moslems, Christians killing Christians and Moslems killing Moslems in the quest for religious supremacy and political power. Since most Christians and Moslems do not practice what they preached, although they have the largest followership world-wide, they make no positive impact in the society based on the fact that the more the mosques and churches are spreading, the more the society become full of immorality and all sort of criminal activities and they called it “Signs of the end-time”.

Although Jesus will suffer in the hands of Jews and Romans but woe to the man through whom the Son of man is betrayed according to him and was referring to Judas. So both the Christians and Moslems who are Ambassador of God on earth must give account of all what they preached either wrongly or correctly and in all their activities on the day of judgment.

The universe is made of natural laws and all elements are governed by those laws including humans and spirit beings. Those natural laws governing all elements are what we study in both chemistry and physics and we cannot invent anything without following those natural formulas and their applications else we cannot invent anything out of this earth. 

Christianity and Islam should not in anyway destroy the original natural laws and custom of every nations, tongues and tribes else they will be immorality and natural disaster which prayers and fasting cannot help because it against the law of nature as we can see it happening today based on the fact that we have over Christianized and Islamized all the nations of the world by making them abandoning their original customs and tradition and the oracles of the gods of the land which are regarded as demonic and satanic even though they sanitize the society and provide security to a great extend in the days of old prior to the arrival of the Bible and the Koran.

Now let’s takes for an example, in the production of food crops, the natural laws that governs farming must be observed else there will be starvation as no crop can grow. In farming, the natural laws are of two factors; one is the earthly factors and the other is the heavenly factors. The combination of the two factors produced the food we eat from the ground. This I mean, the earthly Factor" is the ancient customs and tradition of the land introduced by the gods of the land and the heavenly factor is the religion we study both in the Bible and the Koran. So the combination of these two factors will produce peace, prosperity and security in the land and sanitized the society.

In farming, the earthly factors to be observed include, the location of the soil and the kind of crops to be grown on that particular soil in order to ensure bumper harvest else the farmer will labour in vain. The soils may be loamy soil, sandy soil, humus soil, clay soil etc. This I called the “ Earthly Factor"referring to the customs and tradition of the land introduced by the gods of the land or the oracles of the land” .

In farming observing the earthly laws is not enough to ensure bumper harvest; it must be combined with the heavenly factors. These heavenly factors include the weather condition and the sunlight based on the fact that different types of crops are grown on different types of soil,  seasons and the weather condition which is the heavenly factor. This exclude those none seasonal crops that can withstand heavy rainfall and short drought period .

 As part of the heavenly factor, the plant require air including the soil in the ground; it requires the air to breath, in order to survive and the presence of sunlight to produce what is known as Photosynthesis and Chlorophyll to enhance greenish color and makes the food or crops matured before harvesting.

Above all, the sun stands as the king of the heavenly factors because without it nothing can grow on earth. Evidently, if you plant on a very rich soil and close the doors and windows, without air and sunlight your crop will not be greenish because there is no sunlight and air to breath in and will surely dry and riot in the ground even though you pour water on the crops every day. Therefore, if we only obey the earthly laws no crop can grow and if we only obey the heavenly laws in our religions no crops can grow. So we must combined both of them in order to ensure a bumper harvest.

The sun consists of Hydrogen atom that represents the God of the three world religion which includes, Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Therefore,  we can grow our crops if only we obey both the earthly laws and the heavenly laws in combinations because in as much as the sun remain the king of the heavenly factors, those earthly laws introduced by the gods are all part of the heavenly laws because they cannot exist without God and are given power and dominion to rule over every tribes and nations of the world to ensure peace, prosperity and security of their people before the arrival of Christianity and Islam including those ancients world powers that had ruled the world before our time.

Both the traditions of the gods and those of the world religion much be combined as one and modified in order to ensure peace, prosperity and security in the land else there will be no peace on earth. 

The gods of the land are the best security experts because they are committed to do so since from the foundation of the earth and not the heavenly factors that governs the heavens. The ara of the gods limited criminal activities such as stealing, armed robbery, adultery, maintains young girls virginity before marriage, killing of the innocents persons except killing for religious proposes like in ancient Judaism which required modification. The gods arrest and punish criminals more effectively than our modern police men; so the ancient people feared the gods of the land a great deal. The primary functions of the gods of the land had been mis-interpreted by both Christians and Muslims preachers regarding them as demonic and satanic.

Now there are two kinds of spirits that rules the universe; one are the spirits that controls the earth and the others are the spirits that controls the heavens. In the ancient times, before the bible arrived, the angels are known as gods or watchers (See Daniel chapter 4 and 5). “Angel” is the English word for spirits beings with wings and is called by several other names in other languages.
For example in my native language “OKRIKA” the name of angel is “FINIBESO” meaning “ONE IN A BIRDLY FORM”. As the bible came they began to call them “Angels”.

Under Polytheism, (worshiping of many gods) they are called “gods” and under monotheism it is one god as “God” or “Lord” according to the bible and Koran but the Koran always give the expression “WE” “US” in most of the prophecies of Prophet Muhammed implying “gods” and in Genesis the bible says “let US make man in our own image” and still in Genesis the bible also reveals during the building of the tower of Babel with the expression “LET US CONFUSED THEIR LANGUAGE” All this implies to the “gods” still drawn from the ancient polytheism worship from which Judaism, Christianity and Islam metamorphosed from the ancient Egyptian religion of polytheism.

Evidently, angels, are known as the "LORD" OR "GOD" in most portions of the bible which is gods in polytheism. In the bible angels are addressed with capital letters as "LORD" OR "GOD" showing very superior to other gods according to our bible authors and translators but all are the same as angels in other religion and the same as spirit beings and are called by different names in other languages before the bible arrived. (See again see Daniel chapter 4 and 5).

So this angels or spirit beings introduced the culture and tradition of the land which has been in existence since from the creation of the world.

Now let us go into the bible to see how those laws, customs and traditions are very necessary and to be observed.

In the book of Genesis chapter 4, the land refused to produce crops for Cain based on the fact that he shed innocent blood by killing Abel his brother and the land forbids shedding of innocent blood. Consequently, Cain was cursed from the ground that refused to produce her yield that he will become a vagabond and not by God. Instead, God told him the reason why the land refused to produce her yield and placed the mark on his face so that no one can kill him.

Later he departed from that land he defiled and relocated to another land called “Nud” and there he planted and grown crops and was very prosperous because at that land he did not shed innocent blood and built a city as the first prosperous man on earth before the flood of Noah. If God had cursed him, he could not have prospered anywhere else he went rather he was cursed by that land in which he shed the blood of Abel.

In Leviticus chapter 18, the children of Israel were told to keep to the laws and traditions of the land of Canaan; that if they refuse, the land itself will vomit them out as it did to the people of Canaan that were in the land before them. Therefore, before the people of Israel arrived, the people of Canaan had been informed of the laws and traditions of the land by their gods or oracles which they refused to keep and so defiled the land which vomited them out upon the arrival of the people of Israel. If it were today, both Christians and Muslims will regards those Canaan laws and tradition as both satanic and demonic as they do to the ancient customs and tradition of the people all over the world. Evidently, the people of Israel were also driven out of their land by the gods of the land because they also defiled the land like the people of Canaan as God earlier warned them.

In the book of I Samuel chapter 5 and 6, the Ark of God that was invading the land of the Philistines, was sent out of their land after consulting their oracles. The pagan priests of the Philistines perfumed the rituals for the Ark of God to get out of their land and the Ark of God obeyed and moved out of their land to a mountain where it was taken by the Priests of Israel.

That shows that the God of Israel quite accepted the sacrifice of the pagan priests of the Philistines because they performed those rituals in accordance with the customs and tradition of their land after consulting their gods or oracles and the Ark of God moved out of their land. If it was today, both Christians and Moslems will regards the sacrifice of the pagan priests as satanic and demonic with the hope that the holy Ark of GOD cannot move. Therefore, not every religion or denomination they see should be regarded as satanic and demonic as some of them are formed by the very God they worship as well and he is involve in many religion they do not know or believe in.

In another development, in book of 2 Kings chapter 3, prophet Elisha instructed the two kings of Israel to go and fight the King of Moab and they did great exploit from the beginning but reaching the end they failed based on the fact that the king of Moab offered a superior sacrifice by using his elder son as bunt offering to his gods and the God of Israel leading them in the battle saw this superior sacrifice and was very jealous based on the fact that perhaps Israel only offered animal sacrifices to HIM but this king used human sacrifice. So out of jealousy, he turned against Israel with great indignation and they scattered and fled from capturing the King. This was how the king saved himself and his people and were victorious. The same thing Jephatan did and became victorious when he vowed to offer human being as bunt sacrifice and it turned out to be his only daughter which he did according to the book of the Judges.

That means that, the gods in all religion are one including the God of Israel although each claim superiority against one another just as we human being do. In most cases, Israel looses several wars like other nations as well. For the Christians and Muslims, they may consider it as an abomination for the king of Moab to offer human being as a sacrifice thinking that God will totally destroy Moab and her king but the revise was the case. Therefore in as much as offering of human being is available in all religions of the ancient time before Christianity and Islam, all religion was one and from the same root founded by the gods of the land which required modification to exclude the offering of human beings and animals but those laws, customs and tradition of the land must remain but with some amendment and modifications.

More interestingly, in 2 Kings chapter 17, as the people of Israel were on exile as a result of the Assyrian invasion, they were carried to other countries and they brought other people to occupy the land of Israel; but these strangers did not know the laws, customs and tradition of the land of Israel so lions went up and killing them. They reported the matter to the captain of the Assyrians soldiers that the gods of the land are waging war against the people of the land by killing them with lions. Then the captain sent for a Levitical priest to come down from one of those countries to teach them the laws of the land which he did. But the people in the land did not stop practicing their religion but keeping the laws of the land of Israel and practicing their religion as well and building shrines in the high places. CONSEQUENTLY THEY BEGAN PRACTICING THEIR RELIGION IN THE FEAR OF THE LORD. Here the fear of the Lord implies that they no longer perform those evil rituals such as killing innocent person with charms and other evil practices they did in their own counties. They stopped doing those evil. Therefore, their religions were modified as they practiced them in the fear of the Lord and then the Lion stopped from killing them.

Therefore, the ancient laws, customs and traditions of the people should be modified through Christianity and Islam by removing those evil practices but still maintaining them so that the gods of the land will continue perform their invisible functions such as arresting and punishing criminals, waging war against adultery,  murder, keeping the virginity of young women before marriage or face punishment by the gods, and other immoralities which the ordinary eye cannot see.

Today, lions and other wild beast are invading several parts of the world. Both villagers and city dwellers are not safe any more. They are living their forest and attacking human beings including farm lands because the gods are angry as the whole land is defied with all sort of abominations that could result to the termination of human beings and animals themselves either by natural disasters or by world wars. So their attack is to give warning to all human beings as those wild animal did to those people that took over the land of Israel in the days of old.

Similarly, prophet Isaiah predicted of the unification of all religion world –wide. As his prophecy implied that all the Arab nations, Canaanites and Israel will worship one God with Israel in as much as the ancient Middle East is the foundation of the world religion that is spreading across the whole world. (Isaiah 19:18-25).

In another development, Prophet Zachariah gave his predication about the unification of the religion of the world which will include the Canaanites gods and Israel. He mentioned that the native ports made of clay used in religions activities will become holy unto the Lord. These holy vessels will be sanctified in the house of God and will be used in their homes for holy rituals. Native ports made of clay is commonly use in African, Asian, Arabs, and other countries for ritual proposes. They will be served for holy ritual and not for evil proposes any more. In every door it will be written ‘ HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD’ (Zec. 14: 20-21). WATCH OUT FOR THE PART 2 OF THIS ARTICLES
