The waters of the deep
fill my lungs-
consciousness almost gone.
The beast comes,
charging towards me.
Hands chained
feet chained.
I look as he draws closer-
evil joy in his eyes;
"Fuck You," I say.
I know I'm here for my sins
and I repented.
So do your worst.
I close my eyes
only to open them again,
because of His mercy,
which is shed upon me abundantly.
Luke 23:39,40,41,42,43
"...today shalt thou be with me in paradise."
2017 coming
I'm waiting on my King
who redeemed me
and will rescue me from the land of my captivity.
I know whose I am-
I am a child of God, Most High.
Shalam,
Zarach
The Israelite Abiding Movement has three objectives for the purpose of building up God's Holy People: 1. To lift up the Father and Jesus Christ, the Lord. 2. To Teach the Truth of God's Holy Word- the Bible 3. To gather the Flock or people of God together unto the Day of Christ-the Last Judgment.

Vision from the Past part 1
Eyes wide open
Looking up to heaven
Blue for miles
quite and calm.
But on this ship
only oppression
torture, pain,
horror, the sting of the whip
At the hands of the Devil
chained, helpless
made to witness evil
So inhumane, so in-human;
not of men, but of beast.
She cries out
because she had dignity
not willing to give up her honor.
Eyes look up to heaven
"mercy, oh God. Look and see
to whom you are doing this"
A captive with miles of
blue ocean all around.
Monsters swim by and wait.
I stand, chains on my hands
and around my ankles.
The noise of her screams, sickening.
Into the bottomless ocean I go-
Make it end now- take away this pain
In the jaws of your beast.

Israelite Awakening
I was traveling on the
road I thought was best
I believed I was doing
your work, O Lord.
But now I realize
that your wisdom far
exceeds my understanding( Prov. 21:30)
and what I thought I knew
I didn't know( 1 Cor. 8:2)
So, I give you
what has always been yours-
this life ( Ezekiel 18:4, John
17:6,7,8,9,10)
and ask only
for your divine guidance(Ps. 31:3)
on the road ahead,
the journey set before me.
I dedicate this love
contained in this vessel
to the cause You have called me on(
Luke 23:46, Ps. 31:5)
My father in heaven

From Revolution to Practical Wisdom
You stood up
when we needed a hero most
when our hope was broken
You said loud and proudly:
“Unlock all your God given
potential.”
“Stop being afraid, begin to think as
a collective body.”
“When you begin to speak their
language
they will stop their brutality. You
can't speak
peace, when a man knows only the
language of
war- Well good night.”
You were gallant, dashing, our manhood.
We woke up the next day
with a purpose and a rhythm
in our steps.
It wasn't because of Islam,
though you often said that
was my religion.
It wasn't because you
were the angriest brother out there
because of oppression.
No, we looked up to you
because you Cared-
genuinely cared about us;
our families, our communities,
our churches, our standing
in the land of our captivity.
You cared about our survival.
And we felt that.
So, you were very dangerous
to the machine,
an anomaly
that can cause the whole system to
crash.
So they sent in their technicians
to fix the problem;
So the machine would continue
to work as planned-
“ If the Negro returns to his origin,
if he finds out who, and what he is,
then our enterprise will not be a
success. Therefore, we must suppress
anything or person who attempts to
wake up this old lion.”
However, the stage is set
and hearts are in motion
and the minds of the thoughtful-
them who cry and sigh
for all the abominations committed
in the midst of Jerusalem, was opened.
Shalam,
Zarach
Brothers and Sisters
Brothers and Sisters
we have a journey
to carry on,
one we've walked thus far.
Look behind you
at the many 10,000s gone,
those of bygone ages.
There you will find
tales of heroes and saints,
men and women,
who were giants,
and still are;
for their memory will not fade
nor be blotted out
from our collective memory.
They are not celebrities or famous
men or women of a bygone era.
But they are apart of our legacy,
our collective memory,
our spiritual DNA.
A source we can reach back into
and reflect on
to derive the faith we will need
to face today;
guides for our journey,
lights we can look to
to find our way home
to Zion,
where the greatest of all
lights sit enthrone :
Christ, the Lord;
the author and finisher
of our faith.
Shalam,
Zarach

Understand
Let him that read
this understand, O Lord ( Matt. 24:15)
Open his eyes
that he may run
that he may speak truth
to your sheep
to save them that believe, O God
Give him understanding
and a spirit to draw
ever closer to you
before the midnight hour comes
when no man can seek you
in that final and dark hour.
O God, tell him to keep on
reading,
tell him to seek you
from evening to evening,
tell him that you will be waiting
and with all he gets, Lord,
give him understanding ( Prov.4:7).

Why
Why?
Why doesn't it work?
Why doesn't it move?
Why doesn't it respond?
"Everything I do
seems to break apart"
said the old Israelite.
" Maybe this movement is
better than that movement,
or perhaps this leader will do.
Now, we will have truth and
what we've been looking for."
But only disillusionment
was the outcome.
Why?
Why? said the old Israelite.
"I've seen all this before,
why can't we unlock this door?"
" Is not my righteousness sufficient?"
And God answered,
" For this thing I besought the Lord thrice,
that it might depart from me.
And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee:
for my strength is made perfect in weakness.
Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of
Christ may rest upon me (2Cor. 12:8,9)."

Madness
I read the poem
of a mad man
He cursed God and Christ,
Joseph and Mary
He cursed life and people
He cursed himself
being simple
Raging against the machine
Only if he would have stopped
and listened
then clarity would have come
things would have made sense
He would have realized
that all things are done by God, whether good or bad
to the intent that man
may know that he is not god,
but mere ashes and dust
He would have come to the knowledge
that liberty
is first a state of mind,
then a reality
at the last judgment

Curse
You tried to play the rescuer,
Yet, you needed to be rescued.
You tried to be the leader,
But you will never try that again.
wallow in the mire
from which you can't
get out;
like a boot to the belly
you're shocked back to reality.
Curse shall thou be in the city ( Deut. 28:16,17,19)
Curse shall be thy basket and thy store
Curse shall you be when you come in,
and Curse shall you be when you go out-
when the lights are put out.
All this
because you refused to worship
the only true God ( Deut. 28:15)
there ever was:
The God of heaven and earth,
and you chose wood, stone, animals,
the moon, the stars, and the sun,
along with a red skinned Edomite
imposter, claiming to be Christ (Job 9:24, Matt. 24:24).

At The Edge
I was standing
at the edge of the ocean
miles of blue
what's beyond the horizon?
I know what's behind me-
pain, tears, confusion, and torment
from the very first time
we stepped on these American shores
Now I'm Hoping for something Better

Lost
I stayed up all night
searching for you
I looked in the books
I searched the pages of
Bennett, Dubois, Cone,
Garvey, Means, King,
Douglas, X, Josephus, and Philo
But I couldn't find you there
I continued hoping to meet you
like I did when I was young
Everything you said then
was new- it moved me
my mind grew
and I wanted to do
what you said
" go into all the world and make disciples.. Matt. 28:19,20"
" Comfort my people! Speak comfortably to Jerusalem... Is. 40:1,2"
Then I lost my way along the path
Now I search for meaning
But little did I realize
that Truth and true meaning
was right here
with me all along
For you had written
your words on my heart and in my soul ( Deut. 30:11,12,13,14)
You are always with me...(Matt.28:20, John 14:18)

Time
Where did the time go
so young, so long ago
Has it been that long?
I just saw you yesterday, old friend
what happen to those dreams,
that spark of life,
that hope for tomorrow,
that energy we once had
for the future?
The yearning for Redemption
Freedom from broken homes,
Gunshots, abandoned buildings,
Mass incarceration, Church burnings,
and school closings.
Christmas smiles and Christmas greetings
in the Ghetto?
Our adversaries pursuing and accusing- Relentlessly
like a twisted plot from Shakespeare's Othello
Driving us to poverty and despair
We are robbed and spoiled
and none say restore (Is. 42:22)
Yet, the Lord, He alone
reached out his hand and strengthened us
God came near and said,
" Be thou healed"
"Now go and show the world
what I have done for you"
We are His witnesses
A testimony that God is Real

Aba, Father
Father, you have honored me
and caused me to share that precious
title that you only deserve: Father
You have blessed me
with sons and daughters
and they call me father
a title rightly yours'
for you alone, O Lord, are the father
of us all
You provide for all our needs
By you we have our being
You defended us when the world
was against us
You instructed us, giving us
not only wisdom
but your very soul
and through you we have
received the remission of all sins
For you loved us with a never
ending love- the love of a true Father
so you redeemed us
Lord, cause me to follow your example
that I may encourage, comfort, and
direct
the children you have given me
A prayer of Zarach
Rest
You give rest
to the weary soul
the troubled mind
the downtrodden
and the oppressed
You call out
to all that have ears to hear
Your voice is from the beginning
If we would just stop and listen
we would hear you say,
“ Come out of darkness,
wake up and live, you
who sleep among the dead!”
Shalam,
Zarach
Praise to the Most High
I awake
as out of a dream
to the reality of you, O God
you are everywhere
your Spirit is in all things
for you are the giver of life
and without you nothing
would live or truly live
I open my eyes
as for the first time
and beheld the beauty
you have created in the heavens-
the stars, the moon, and the sky
now I realize
you are the maker of all things
and I am your child
for your Spirit leads me

Living Water
Flowing like liquid

Fluid
moving in secret

My mind's eye
open to behold
the hidden mysteries ( Matt. 13:11)
the Scriptures unlocking
by His Holy Spirit ( Gal. 1:11,12)
verse upon verse
scriptures upon scriptures ( Is.

I no Le-go
I hold on to this
vibration
moving from the sole of my feet
to the crown of my head ( Matt. 5:6,
Is. 61:1, Acts 4:31)
I step to the rhythm
of a cool beat and a steady pace
Walking on water

The wandering Jews of Africa
From Alexandria
to Cyrene, to Carthage
We wandered
down to the Sahara
among the descendants of Ham
to Ghana, to Mali, to Timbuktu
We attempted to make a home
a place of our own
but the old jealousy and hate
would not abandon us
it perused us, it was relentless
unable to die
in every generation it seems to grow
stronger
till the wars of Africa came
First the Portuguese, then the
Spaniards,
the British with the Ashanti
to part us from our lands
they all were strengthen by the hands
of
the sons of Ham and Ishmael
Stuffed in the bottom of cargo
slave-ships
Only to emerge 500 years later in a
strange land
to proclaim His holy name
in the Hebrew tongue:
Yahawah, our power
in Christ the Lord
Nothing they can do, can stop us
We are unstoppable
We are the children of God,
of the Day,
of the Light

In The Temple
The world seemed
so far away
with it's twist and turns
But right here
in this place
all is still
A peace not of this world
nor what it calls peace
A quietness of mind
and assurance only
God can give
A peace only God
can create
and received by
those that believe
in this place
better than wine
and more pleasant than sweet incense
an aroma better than
the most exquisite garden
with all sorts of flowers
and fruit trees in bloom
This place is none other than the Temple of God (Gen. 28:16-17)

Endurance
From the Spanish Ships of 1492
to struggling for survival
at the bottom of the slave ships
Let the Devil and his angels know-
This ya man, nuh de go nowhere
I'm going the stay
right here
This body you may destroy
but my soul can no man or
demonic force stop
It rises
it overcomes
it stands
at the end of the ages
as a witness of GOD
For He was and is with me
" If God be for us who can be against us?" (Rom. 8: 31)
"It is God the justifieth" (Rom. 8:33)

The Shepherd
Where is my shepherd
and who will deliver me
from this body of death? ( Rom. 7:24)
Many have come
and tried to heal me
But their balm provided to remedy
healing was only slightly
but never completely
Why does the song say,
"I feel like a motherless child"
When will I be home again
with you, O Zion?
Only God knows
Yet am I hopeful
For it is God who promises,
who has said-
"I take the solitary and place them in families"
"I cause them to inherit the Land, so they
may become a multitude as the starts of heaven
and like the sand by the seashore"
So I walk
with the struggle behind me
and the battle before me
But like Christ who overcame in the garden
I too will walk with Him
Filled with Hope
Led by His Spirit ( Gal. 5:18)

Remove the wicked
cast out the unclean spirit
Turn from the road to nowhere
Let no man deceive you
Let no one take your crown

When my spirit was broken
When no one would care
Food, shelter, clothing
Uncertain
Love was nowhere
For miles and miles around
Only the sounds
and noise of the city
All walked by

But you stopped
you reached out
your hand
And offered me a cup of water
Your eyes were warm
like a mother
or a caring sister
I heard you say
in the sweetest voice
like a melody

The Seal of God Session 1
Shalam,
Brothers and sisters, Tune in to I-Witness Ministry video Bible study sessions and let us grow together in the word of God.
"faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God...Romans 10:17"
The cool of the Day
When my soul
was overwhelm
with pain and sorrow
and all seemed
meaningless
When my life hung in doubt
as I walked by
the strange fruit on
the willow tree
tears ran down
all through my face
I sat alone
among the grass of the open field
and wept
because of the curse
then you came
in the cool of the day ( Gen. 3:8)
and said,
“ This is the path you must follow.
Come and I will show you
the way to Zion.”
Do you believe? (Heb. 11:6)
“Come Jacob, take my hand
and I will walk with you
Through the fire
through the flood
and through the noisome pestilence (
Is. 43:1,2)
So you may see the city I have prepared
for them that love me.” ( Heb. 11:16)
Shalam,
Zarach
Crushed
My life is crushed
to the ground
No one stands
on my behalf
and who cries for Jacob
the light of my soul
is snuffed out
as a lamp
who stands for me
who stands for Jacob
none acknowledge me
nor pity my soul
my hands are tied
behind my back
as my soul leaves my body
who do I have on earth
but you O God
so come and rescue me
avenge
your darling
the blood of your saints
Resurrect me
Free me
from this prison
so I may stand
among your righteous ones
and sing praises to your holy name

Don't Wait too Long
Deliverance and rescue
comes from you alone
O God
So don't wait too long
all my enemies
speak against me
saying, “ When will he die,
and his soul return to Him who gave
it.”
Make haste, O Yahawah
and don't take too long
come and rescue me
send help, escape, and healing
send your faithful Word
that the judgment written
may be executed
on all who seek
my hurt and pain
Don't take too long
O God
Let me see your
Redemption
and turn all this rain
into sunshine

New Epoch
It starts with Israel and ends with
Israel
70 AD marks the beginning of
the new epoch
leading to the end
to that time of
great confusion and much tribulation (
Dan. 9:26, Dan. 12:1)
The prophecy of the Bible
First Jerusalem fell ( Luke 21:24)
then came the end
of the churches of the apostles ( Acts
20:28,29,30,31, Jude 1:4)
next came the birth of an organized
state religion under Rome ( Rev.
13:13,14,15)
mixed with good and evil (1 John
2:18,19)
which in the end only
produced evil
as the apostle Paul said-
He will continue, that man of sin,
till he be taken out of the way
He who opposes all that is called God
“so that he as God sitteth in the
temple of God,
showing himself that he is God (2 Thes.
2:4)”
Think Caesar Borgia and a white Jesus
and the unanimous disregard of Jesus
Christ,
the black Hebrew, of the Bible
and His message of
Redemption, Freedom to the oppressed,
and judgment of the wicked,
followed by the establishment of
His Holy Kingdom on earth (Luke
4:18,19)
verses the pie-in-the-sky
Christianity we have today ( Luke 21:8)
that send their armies and police
forces
across the world and through cities
to crush the poor
Ask the people they called Indians
If I lie
concerning their religion and arms
But he, this son of perdition,
will go no further
Neither he nor his followers,
who love not the truth of this gospel
But believe in a lie
the delusion of their own minds
Whom God will take away
with the spirit of His mouth
and the brightness of His coming
( 2 Thes. 2:8,9,10,11,12)

Renewal
We made the covenant
with God at Sinai
Before the mountain of fire
When man heard the voice of God
and lived
Yet we all wandered away
and chose different paths
form the original
Renew
Now
your
Vow
to God
To be his people,
his ministers
to be his mouth
to speak to the people
to set the example
of a true saint of the Most High God
For all to follow
as we all draw closer
to God's arrival,
That faithful day: Judgment Day
Now is the time
and today is the day
to turn again
and renew your vow
to the Most High God
Who alone doth wonders
and work miracles
Hebrews 12:25,26,27,28,29

The Man In The Clouds
You alone art God
You change times and seasons
You do miracles
none can compare to you, O God
You change the state of a man
from morning to evening
by your word,
your most precious word,
From defeat, to victory
From confusion of faces, to clarity
From despair, to hope
From death, to life again
I lift up my hands to heaven
in awe of you
You came near, and said
“ Have no fear, nor be troubled,
just listen and hear;
For it is the time of Jacob's trouble (
Jer. 30:7).
And the end is drawing closer”
Come now and I will send you
to tell them what I tell you
in the ear ( Matt. 10:27)
Echo it
On the sound-waves in the clouds
On the wires under the sea
and On the mountains
that all the world
may hear and declare the majesty of the
Most High God
Isaiah 43:9
Shalam,
Zarach
A Raisin Scorched By The Sun
What happens to a man
that follows the desires of his own
heart?
Does he rise to the top?
Does he mount up with eagles wings?
Or does he sinks to the bottom?
Does he wanders about like a bird
that has left his nest?
Search it out,
ask the wise men
they will tell thee
“ He who gives himself the desires
of his flesh
is the laughingstock of his enemies”
“ He fails little by little,
till he enters the grave”
Only by turning from his error
will he be free
Only by confession of his sin
will he be pardon
Only by never going in that path again
will he overcome
But if he refuses and rebel
he shall be count to the sword
Isaiah 1: 16,17,18,19,20

Middle Part 2
Below it's to Dark to see
miles and miles of Darkness
the Abyss
I recall to remembrance
your faithfulness
and acts of kindness ( Ps. 77:11)
How you rescued
your saints
from deep waters
and brought them
to rest on the mountain top
above the waters
and I remember
how you restored them
with your Word (Ps. 111:9)
for you alone art God, Yahawah
great in power and mighty to save
So come and rescue me now, for I believe
Titus 2:11,12,13,14,15
Titus 2:11,12,13,14,15
Shalam,

Middle Part 1
Will I get to the top
Will I get to the pinnacle
where God is
Will I overcome
and reach the top
of this ocean
above me
100's of feet
to reach the surface
Will my breath last
Will I be strong enough
to climb up
to the top
I can see the light
just above my head
the sun and the clouds
the breath of life
and the sweet music of life
awaits
To breathe again
To fill my lungs
with the air you give
the breath you send that gives life
Shalam,
Zarach
The Block
To all my extended Family
may the lamp of God
guide your steps
as you walk down
lonely streets
full of people,
and down subways,
and along the highways
with trains above ground
may the light of the Most High
shine from behind
dark clouds
and the beauty
of all that you are come forth
like a rose rising out of ashes
may all our eyes be open
on that day
when our brokenhearts are mended,
the prison doors opened,
and out of confusion clarity comes,
when the cruel hands
of the oppressor loses its' power
and only liberty stands.
Because the true Gospel is preached to
the poor (Luke 4:17,18,19)
Shalam,
Zarach
Tomorrow
Tomorrow
I will soar
above the highest mountains
tomorrow
will bring better days
when the sun rises again
all things will be made new
again (Rev. 21:1)
Tomorrow I will be walking
up that road (John 14:4)
where better days await me
I'll be stronger then
my mind will be clearer
I'll know for sure
cause Tomorrow
I wont be the same
my conversation will be
of another fashion (1 Cor. 15:49)
I'll have on that new look
Tomorrow
will be my turn
They'll see me as I truly am
Shalam,
Zarach
Time
Why do I feel
so uncertain
at this time
maybe it's
the American in me
never truly content
always reaching for more
never resting
till every door is open
some say it's the spirit of progress
the elders say,
“know that you are exactly
where you are suppose to be”
or maybe
it's the uneasiness
of the silver across my head
and upon my face
to be of yesterday
a very un-American thought
in a world where 21 equals freedom
and everything else is less than
“every man dies, but not every man
truly lives,” they say
Hosea 7:9,10
Shalam,
Zarach
Change
Change can happen
in a moment
from sunrise to sunset
By God's will
in my soul
in my situation
and in my position and perspective
Leading to the true path,
correct judgment,
and unto righteousness
In choosing to
return to Him
Shalam,
Zarach

How Do I Get To Zion?
It's over here
No, It's over there
many fingers
point in many directions
Some say, " Come and see" ( Matt. 24:23)
But I know
it's a road that not many go on.
The road to Zion
is narrow,
full of hardship
with the hope
of everlasting joy
at its' end (Matt. 7:13,14).
But to get there my friend,
is the price of the ticket;
that is the struggle-
to get up each and everyday
even with mishaps and setbacks
failures and defeats
and with the memories
of good friends we've lost along the way ( 2 Cor. 4:16,17).
But thou art with me, O Lord ( Ps. 23:4)
and so I march
through the ups and downs,
the tears and pain,
in the rain, in the sunshine at noonday
I lift my head up
for you hold me up
If it were not for your love and mercy, O God
I would have fallen
never to get up again
I would have gone down
to the pit whole ( Ps.18:28, 32)
But now
I press forward
reaching for the prize ( Phil. 3: 13,14)
realizing this is my marathon
and the fight for the championship ( 1 Cor. 9:24, 26)
and You, God, said I could
Win ( 1 Cor. 15:57)
" By faith all things are possible"...
Mark 9:23

Compare & Contrast
They are wild by nature( Rom.11:24,25)
We were born to be free (2 Cor.
3:17,18, Rom. 8:15)
of sin and death
Living in the discipline of wisdom
They are nutty by nature ( Deut. 32:32)
We are holy ( Lev. 19:2)
Therefore, we are a peculiar people (
Deut. 14:2, 1 Peter 2:9)
Their wisdom produces
weapons of mass destruction (Is. 14:20,
Rev. 11:16,17,18)
Our wisdom produces
genius and creativity,
giving joy and bringing life to the
world (Prov. 8:12,15,16, 19,20,21)
We are salt and light ( Matt. 5:13,14)
We seek a heavenly
kingdom on earth ( Matt. 6:9,10)
where righteousness and immortality
dwells ( 2 Peter 3:13, Gal. 5:5, 1 Cor. 15:53)
They seek a new world order
where all are enslaved to them
A world full of destruction, tears, and
pain
to the masses ( Dan. 7:23, Rev. 13:7,8,
Dan. 12:1, Is. 14:5,6)
At their fall all creation rejoices
and praise the God of heaven and earth
( Is. 14:7,8, Prov. 29:2)
For our rising all creation waits
for the manifestation of the sons of
God (Rom. 8:19, 1 John 3:1,2)
For the spirit that is in us is
wonderful
and doeth miracles ( Luke 4:17,18,19,
John 14:11,12, Is. 8:18)
“...Just because we are magical, does
not mean we are not real...”
