Subject: HHMI Update

  
      Dear Mishpochah (family):

      As I mentioned in the last HHMI update, I went to NY June 16-19
and also June 23-30, 2000. I also mentioned in the last HHMI update
that because of my new demanding schedule, in order to continue the
newsgroup, I needed to purchase a notebook computer for the ministry
so that I could continue to do the functions of keeping up with the
newsgroup in my travels. I asked our newsgroup members to prayerfully
consider helping the ministry to purchase this computer. Based upon
the money received prior to my June trips to NY, the ministry was still
considerably short of the money needed to purchase a notebook
computer.

       It was my intent /desire to have a notebook computer by the
middle / end of July for my July trips to NY.  Therefore, because it
would take 7-10 days to receive a notebook computer ordered over the
Internet, I decided to purchase the notebook computer on June 30
WITHOUT KNOWING how much money the ministry would receive from
our members for the notebook PC.

      From February 15 - May 15, 2000 (excluding the love gifts
received when I did a total of 3 "For the Love of Zion" seminars in
WA, Arkansas and KS), the ministry received a total of $249 in
donations.

      But, I have a PRAISE REPORT !!!!!

   The LORD is good and His MERCY endures FOREVER !!!

      Remember, ALL blessings come from the God of Israel. Most of
the time, His blessings come to people when He stirs the hearts of
his people to do His Will and to be a blessing to others.  When I got the
ministry mail after returning from NY on June 30,  there was enough
donations from members of the Hebraic Heritage
newsgroup to:

#1) Buy a notebook PC
#2) Pay for the airfare to NY on June 16-19, June 23-30 and two of my
upcoming trips on July 15 and July 22

      I ordered a Dell Computer on June 30. Because I work for a
large Fortune 500 company, I was able to get a 10% discount on the
notebook PC. I hope to receive the delivered notebook PC this week.

      I would like to extend a THANK YOU to all those newsgroup
members who made contributions large and small to help purchase this
notebook PC and to support the work of the ministry in NY. I am in
the process of making VCR copies of the Father's day service at the
church in Long Island of a "Prophetic Word" to the Pastor given by an
invited worship leader who has his own ministry which CONFIRMED
the Lord's heart to use the Pastor and
the church to be a "lighthouse" in the Brooklyn / Long Island area to
carry out His Will in these last days for the NY area as it pertains
to the embracing the Hebraic roots of Christianity and God's love for
the Jewish people. I am planning on sending a copy of the video along
with a newsletter to all those members who supported the ministry to
buy a notebook PC and has a heart to support the work of the ministry
in the NY area. I hope to do this by the end of July.

      BEFORE the ministry opened up a bank account in 1995/1996, the
Lord spoke to my heart and impressed upon me that it was His Will
that the ministry tithe 10% of it's income to Jewish organizations ./
synogogues / ministries. The money received from May 15 - July 9, 2000
was EQUAL to the cost of the notebook PC, the June trips to NY and
two of the upcoming July trips to NY and make a 10% tithe donation to
Jewish organizations / synogogues / ministries in the NY area. Therefore,
your love and  support of the ministry will also be a blessing to the Jewish
people in NY !!!
 
     The Lord promised that if we would be His servants to do His
Will that HE would supply all our NEED. The money received through
July 9 was equal to the NEED with just a few dollars left over. 
Doesn't this make you so excited to witness the LORD'S faithfulness?
Furthermore, because the money received equalled the NEED with just a
few dollars left over, this is evident that those whose hearts were
stirred to support the ministry in these endeavors were OBEDIENT to
hear the voice of the Lord and to give the EXACT amount the HE put
upon your heart to give toward the notebook PC and the trips to NY.
Those whose hearts were stirred to give small gifts were faithful and
obedient just like those who were stirred to give larger gifts
because the total of both the small and larger gifts equalled the
NEED! When we give, we are to give to the LORD (as HE directs us to
support the work of HIS KINGDOM). Therefore, once again, I would like
to say THANK YOU to those newsgroup members who were sensitive to
what the Lord was speaking to your heart regarding supporting the
work of Hebraic Heritage ministry for the glory of HIS KINGDOM.

         Recently, a newsgroup member asked me a question regarding
supporting the work of the ministry in the NY area.

>
>Dear Eddie,

>As you know, the worker is worth his hire. Please forgive me for the
>following "plain speaking." Why do not the people of this new church
>in NY simply hire you to go there full time as a staff person? Or
>alternatively, provide your airfare at least, considering what you
>will be doing for them?
>

           This is a VERY GOOD and REASONABLE question. First of all,
I am NOT going to NY for "THEM". I would only go to NY for one and
only one reason and that is to do the WILL of the LORD and to do the
work of HIS KINGDOM and HE directs the ministry.

           Secondly, if we are to think HEBRAICALLY / JEWISHLY, the
Jewish people see themselves as a COMMUNITY of people who share a
common heritage even if they live in different cities or in
different countries. The NT speaks of the COMMUNITY of believers in
Messiah as His BODY. Within Christianity, we generally DON'T think in
terms of being a BODY (although we TALK about being the BODY of
Messiah). The God of Israel has ONE BODY of people and ONE FAMILY who
consist of a multitude of nations, languages, races and people all
over the WORLD. The work in NY is for the building up of the BODY of
Messiah for the glory of HIS KINGDOM according to HIS WILL.
Therefore, what benefits the KINGDOM benefits the BODY of Messiah and
as a BODY of believers in Messiah we are ALL seek the HEART of God to
do HIS WILL for the glory of HIS KINGDOM and work TOGETHER as a
FAMILY and see ourselves not as individuals or individuals churches
but as a BODY or COMMUNITY of believers in Messiah who work toward a
a COMMON vision and purpose and HE Wills for HIS body.

             Therefore, because the work in NY is the LORD'S work, I
believe that it is only appropriate for the members of Hebraic
Heritage Ministries to be given an OPPORTUNITY to be a PARTNER in
God's end-time prophetic work in NY as it pertains to churches
growing in their understanding of the Hebraic roots of Christianity
while at the same time reaching out the Jewish people. By accepting
the OPPORTUNITY to be a PARTNER in what GOD is doing according to HIS
WILL, you have the OPPORTUNITY to reap ETERNAL rewards.

              When I had this conversation with the Pastor in NY in
the last few weeks, he said to me, 'So does that mean that you are
depriving me and this church of this blessing by not allowing us to
do more?". I said to him, 'No, you are doing and being faithful to
what the Lord has called you to do.". You are being obedient to what
the Lord spoke to you 2 years ago and have invited me to come to NY
to be used by God through the help of the Holy Spirit to take this church
and to be used to influence others churches in the Long Island / Brooklyn
area of NY to embrace the Hebraic roots of Christianity. You are taking
care of my lodging and my food on a weekly basis and I would like to
give the newsgroup members the OPPORTUNITY to support the work of NY
on a monthly basis and be a partner in ministry so that they can be
blessed also through what the Lord does in the NY area.


                        WHY NY AND WHY NOW?

     I began to study Bible prophecy in the late 1970's and early
1980's. I learned Bible prophecy base upon the traditional
"evangelical" point of view. We have been taught for YEARS from this
traditional evangelical Christian point of view that the tribulation
would begin when Israel signs a peace treaty with her Arab neighbors.
He anyone noticed that Israel is NOW negotiating a "final status"
agreement which is supposed to agreed upon by September 13, 2000?
We have been taught that when Israel does sign the Daniel 9:27
agreement that it will be with THE anti-christ (one person). However,
as I explain in my latest book, "Restoring the Two Houses of Israel",
ALL of Israel's peace agreements with her Arab neighbors beginning in
the late 1970's with Egypt continuing through the present agreements
with the PLO have been based upon UN Resolutions 242 and 338. When
Israel signs this final peace agreement, it will be based upon these
two UN resolutions. The way you say United Nations in Hebrew is "Brit
Ha Goyim". The gamatria value of "Brit Ha Goyim" is 676. Both the
words "Brit" and "Goyim" contain the Hebrew letter YUD which has a
numerical value of 10. If you take God (symbolized by the YUD) out of
the covenant or if you take God (symbolized by the YUD) out of
authority to govern and rule over any nation in the world (Goyim)
then you have 676 - 10 = 666.

       Is it POSSIBLE that if Israel signs an agreement this fall
that it will BEGIN Jacob's trouble?

       A PRESENT WILL BE BROUGHT TO ZION

      In Isaiah 18:1-2, 7 it is written:

"Woe the the LAND shadowing with wings (the symbol of the USA is the
bald eagle), which is BEYOND the rivers of Ethiopia. That sends
ambassadors by the sea (a merchant country), even in vessels of
bulrushes upon the waters, saying, Go, ye swift messengers to a
nation SCATTERED and peeled to a people terrible (awesome) from their
beginning hitherto: a NATION meted out and trodden down who LAND the
rivers have spoiled ... In that time (a term for the end of the age)
shall a PRESENT be brought unto the Lord of hosts of a people
scattered and peeled and from a people terrible (awesome in Hebrew)
from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden under
foot, who land the rivers have spoiled, the the place of the name of
the Lord of hosts, the MOUNT ZION"

      Is it POSSIBLE that these verses describe the USA? Is it
POSSIBLE that the PRESENT is in NY that will go to ZION? Only time
will tell. Only God knows.

       In Zechariah 3:8-10 it is written:

"Therefore, wait ye upon me, saith the Lord, until the day that I
rise up to the prey: for my determination is to gather the nations,
that I may assemble the kingdoms to pour upon them mine indignation
even all my fierce anger for all the earth shall be devoured with the
fire of my jealousy. For then will I turn to the people a pure
language that they may all call upon the name of the Lord to serve
him with one consent. From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia my
suppliants even the DAUGHTER OF MY DISPERSED shall bring mine
offering."

         COULD these verses (because of the lateness of the hour
regarding the peace process) be possibly talking about the days in
which we live? COULD this be a reason for WHY NY and WHY NOW?
Only time will tell. The watchman of the wall will surely be able to
discern if such is the case or not when the LORD fulfills HIS WORD by
HIS SPIRIT for the glory of HIS KINGDOM.

                  EDDIE'S JULY TRAVEL SCHEDULE

        I will be travelling to NY July 15 and returning to Ohio on
July 19. I will work 4 days and then fly back to NY on July 22. I
will return on July 26. I will work 4 days and fly back to NY on July
29. I will return to Ohio on August 1.

        This is my current schedule. Because of our members love and
support of the ministry, the ministry has already received the funds
to fly to NY on July 15 and July 22. I am flying to NY on SW Airlines
so I am able to save between 40% (regular price) and (60% through
Internet specials) from the other major airline carriers who fly from
Ohio to NY.  The Lord requires those in ministry to be faithful and
wise stewards.

       Thank you for those whom God has spoken to your heart to
support the ministry and the work of NY on a monthly basis. May the
Lord bless you in your faithfulness and your giving to HIS WORK. As
you know, the rewards are ETERNAL.

      For those whose hearts are stirred to support the work in NY on
a monthly basis, please make your checks out to (Hebraic Heritage
Ministries Int'l) and send to:

      Hebraic Heritage Ministries Int'l
      PO Box 81
      Strasburg, Ohio  44680

      I will be going to the bank on July 10 to cash the checks sent
to the ministry for the notebook PC and the work in NY for the month
of June.  Thanks again for your love and support of the ministry.

      Yours for the restoration of our Hebraic Heritage in Messiah,
