THE ROAD TO HAPPINESS, WHERE DO WE FIIND IT'

by Charles Voss
Shalom Brethren,
You know we live in very trying times. Our cities are awash with violence and crime. Many people cannot find meaningful work. Children are dying of disease and starvation. There are wars in many lands. In Iraq, where "the war is over" soldiers are still dying every day and talk now is to increase the number of troops to Afghanistan and Pakistan. Surely, this is not the life that our CREATOR wants us to have!
Did you know that ETERNAL our SOVEREIGN CREATOR tells us of 'the road to happiness' that will lead us to tranquillity? Compare that with the life you lead today! In addition, did you know that each time ETERNAL sends a ‘Watchman’ to point out this road to happiness, that most people reject it saying, "We will not!" Notice, from the Tanakh:
Jeremiah 6:16-18 (Tanakh). Thus said ETERNAL: Stand by the roads and consider, inquire about ancient paths: Which is the road to happiness? Travel it and find tranquillity for yourselves. But they said, "We will not." And I raised Watchmen for you: "Hearken to the sound of the horn!" However, they said, "We will not."
...6:19-21. Hear well, O nations and know, O community what is in store for them. Hear O earth! I am going to bring disaster upon this people, the outcome of their own schemes; for they would not hearken to My words and they rejected My instruction. What need have I of frankincense that comes from Sheba or fragrant cane that comes from a distant land? * Your burnt offerings are not acceptable and your sacrifices** are not pleasing to Me. Assuredly, thus said ETERNAL; I shall put before this people stumbling blocks over which they shall stumble--fathers and children alike, neighbor and friend shall perish.
*These items are used in false worship services.
**There is one false sacrifice that nearly the whole world kowtows to.
What is the ancient path that ETERNAL calls on us to consider, look upon, and travel? It is the same path that the Patriarchs, our fathers, took. Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, and Moses all took the ancient path of obedience to ETERNAL; that enabled them to find tranquility.^ Not that every day in their lives, was tranquil; but they lived in obedience and were blessed overwhelming by ETERNAL. If this is not your current life experience, you have not yet put your feet upon the ancient path that will lead you to happiness.
^If you check in your Scriptures, Genesis 26:5 you will see that Abraham was obedient to ETERNAL some 435 years before the Ten Commandments were finally written on stone.
ETERNAL explains that people and nations that reject the ancient path will experience disasters brought about by their own schemes and plans, which contradict the will of ETERNAL. This is a simple choice: do it ETERNAL’s way and find happiness and tranquillity, or choose some way of your own and experience disasters.
All around us we can see stumbling blocks that keep us off the ancient path, just as ETERNAL promised! Any other religion that keeps you off the ancient path of obedience only to ETERNAL is a stumbling block--it will cause you to perish.^^ Anything that keeps you from keeping the Sabbath is a stumbling block. If you make anything more important than the clear instructions of the CREATOR of the Universe you will perish.
^^This includes all the well known names such as "buddhism," "christianity," islam, judaism, and so on.
Why not, this very day, choose to walk the ancient path of obedience to ETERNAL and achieve happiness and tranquillity? The alternative is a series of disasters and stumbling blocks.

That is a good question. Why not choose to follow the ancient path of obedience today? Well one reason is that the world is full of paths, so which is the ancient one? Another reason is that modern religiosity has paved them all, so that they all look alike. In addition, modern religiosity has switched all of the way-markers and substituted names of confusion on the ancient path. But not to worry, you can still find it, we will help you. The key is, to Quest for the Ancient of Days and that Quest will lead you to the ancient path called the 'Road to Happiness.'
In order to truly understand CREATOR's Word and the 'Road to Happiness' in these latter days of confusion, it is necessary to know Him. To know Him you must "Quest for the Ancient of Days." Let us help you with your Quest, stop by our web site at , and see for yourself. We will leave the light on for you.
May our loving CREATOR grant peace and understanding.
