Circumcision
By Tennessee Elijah

EWNR – In the quietness of my solitude with the Master as I rest at the right hand of the sandek, those who think of me as the angel of the covenant are grateful to Malachi for his inspiration. Even so, let a boy child be circumcised with my spiritual presence in remembrance of those days when Jezebel fought against the God of Israel. Let every soul of pure intent join together
in these days to salute male offspring – doing it not for me, but letting it be done as a gift to the Creator of Life for judgment against my enemies. The greatness of His Love for these our children is far beyond anything I have ever desired in flesh -- or have ever done according to the will of the Spirit.

Do not, I pray of thee, brothers and sisters of sacred blood, forsake the covenant of the Lord which has been a protection and blessing, generation upon generation. Put false tradition aside when it breaks the holy bond set between Jehovah God and His chosen people. Though it has been said that I come to sit in places reserved for me, it is the Father who comes to witness the ceremony performed when a precious child is given on a chair to Him. Though you have made me welcome when standing humbly before my friends, let honor go only to the One who is worthy.

It is with sadness that I look into the hearts of my brothers who have known circumcision as an innocent child. It has been thought that they have done a good thing, presenting themselves as a sacrifice before the Lord. Why have these many through the centuries taken it upon themselves to behave in a manner contrary to forefathers? By what reasoning have many chosen to break the covenant, not knowing which God they serve or from which tribe they were born? Have children of Abraham forgotten their heritage?

Is manhood like a mantle to be worn with pride
by those who come from the veins of Isaac?

"And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him."

Is servitude to a false god, something to covet
by those who come from the veins of Ishmael?

"And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation."

Who are the children of Isaac and Ishmael? For what purpose has circumcision and coveting set them apart from Gentiles who honor God
with baptism and charity? To which father of which child has the will of the Almighty been confirmed or denied? Is this not the generation when all things will transpire as prophesied – even though many are less than ready to receive what is to come?

Has there been one father among millions who has chosen to stand against the Maker of souls, refusing to obey commandments, thinking himself to be more righteous or more powerful? Has there been one son who has chosen
to stand with an evil father, refusing to repent of sin, thinking himself to be worthy of inheritance when instruction has failed him?

There will be no sorrow in judgment for loyal children who have obeyed, and there will be no joy for infidels who rebel. Children of Isaac and Ishmael who have transgressed the Law and have not shown respect for holy ways, you will be punished, according to the promise of God. Children of Isaac and Ishmael who fought against the man Jesus of Nazareth and who took to the ways of Satan in a struggle against the God of Israel are destined to battle each other. There will be no covenant as promised for the evil seed
of Isaac -- or a great nation as promised for the evil seed of Ishmael.

"And Jacob said unto Joseph, God Almighty appeared unto me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me, And said unto me, Behold, I will make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, and I will make of thee a multitude of people; and will give this land to thy seed after thee for an everlasting possession."

Who are the degenerate children of this day
who argue and fight against Jacob?

"If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, saith the LORD of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart. Behold, I will corrupt your seed, and spread dung upon your faces, even the dung of your solemn feasts; and one shall take you away with it. And ye shall know that I have sent this commandment unto you, that my covenant might be with Levi, saith the LORD of hosts. My covenant was with him of life and peace; and I gave them to him for the fear wherewith he feared me, and was afraid before my name. The law of truth was in his mouth, and iniquity was not found in his lips: he walked with me in peace and equity, and did turn many away from iniquity. For the priest's lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth: for he is the messenger of the LORD of hosts. But ye are departed out of the way; ye have caused many to stumble at the law; ye have corrupted the covenant of Levi, saith the LORD of hosts. Therefore have I also made you contemptible and base before all the people, according as ye have not kept my ways, but have been partial in the law. Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us? why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, by profaning the covenant of our fathers? Judah hath dealt treacherously, and an abomination is committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah hath profaned the holiness of the LORD which he loved, and hath married the daughter of a strange god."
Malachi 2:2-11

Search your own hearts, fathers, brothers, sons,
daughters and mothers who know history – then
tell me which child of Abraham will be blessed
and which child of Abraham will be cursed?

"This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, truce breakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth." 2 Timothy 3:1-7

How many have been deceived into believing that blessings will come to those who follow after the ways of Satan? Has deception flowing out of the enemies of Christ been received by rebellious children of Isaac or Ishmael?

"Therefore rejoice, ye heavens (realm of the Spirit), and ye that dwell
in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea (all living creatures)! for the devil (Satan incarnate) is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time (until midnight sunlight). And when the dragon (Satan) saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman (descendants of Isaac) which brought forth the man child (Jesus). And to the woman (Israel) were given two wings of a great eagle (aircraft), that she might fly into the wilderness (sea islands), into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent (political, religious and economic persecution). And the serpent (Satan) cast out of his mouth water (evil spirits) as a flood after the woman (Israel), that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood (deceptive enticements). And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood (evil spirits) which the dragon cast out of his mouth. And the dragon (Satan/EU/UN) was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed (Christians in nations supporting Israel), which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ." Revelation 12:12-17

What relevancy will circumcision, repentance of sin, baptism, bowing down before Muhammad, chanting, speaking in tongues, visiting Holy Land shrines or worshiping on the Temple Mount have for Christians, Jews and Muslims when nations are fighting the final war in the fields of Megiddo?

"And I stood upon the sand (earth) of the sea (humankind), and saw a beast (European Union) rise up out of the sea (nations in Europe), having seven heads (economy) and ten horns (military), and upon his horns ten crowns (world leaders), and upon his heads the name of blasphemy (monetary identification honoring Satan as God). And the beast (EU) which I saw was like unto a leopard (African entities), and his feet were as the feet of a bear (Russian entities), and his mouth as the mouth of a lion (British entities): and the dragon (Satan) gave him his power (WMD), and his seat (UN), and great authority (endorsed and supported by political, religious and business leaders worldwide). And I saw one of his heads (politician honored as King of Jerusalem) as it were wounded to death (live on TV); and his deadly wound was healed (live on TV): and all the world wondered after the beast (EU). And they worshipped the dragon (Satan) which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? And there was given unto him a mouth (Satan incarnate assumes control of EU) speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him
to continue forty and two months. And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle (Body of Christ), and them that dwell in heaven (Angels loyal to God). And it was given
unto him to make war with the saints (on earth), and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations (including America and Israel). And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb (Jesus) slain from the foundation of the world. If any man have an ear,
let him hear." Revelation 13:1-9
