Discussion

What many don’t understand these days is there are two different prophecies being pursued and fulfilled as we approach the soon return of Jesus Christ. The one many confuse for themselves, that is Christianity, is truthfully referring to the Jewish nation. This becomes clear if people look at the full context being seen within certain prophecies.

People need to sit back and think. They need to remember God made a promise to Abraham. God never breaks a promise. That is why people need to think when they read certain things from the Bible like what is to follow:

Romans 10:19-11:10 NKJV – But I say, did Israel not know? First Moses says: “I WILL PROVOKE YOU TO JEALOUSY BY THOSE WHO ARE NOT A NATION, I WILL MOVE YOU TO ANGER BY A FOOLISH NATION.” But Isaiah is very bold and says: “I WAS FOUND BY THOSE WHO DID NOT SEEK ME; I WAS MADE MANIFEST TO THOSE WHO DID NOT ASK FOR ME.” But to Israel he says: “ALL DAY LONG I HAVE STRETCHED OUT MY HANDS TO A DISOBEDIENT AND CONTRARY PEOPLE.” I say then, has God cast away His people? Certainly not! For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. God has not cast away His people whom He foreknew. Or do you not know what the Scripture says of Elijah, how he pleads with God against Israel, saying, “LORD, THEY HAVE KILLED YOUR PROPHETS AND TORN DOWN YOUR ALTARS, AND I ALONE AM LEFT, AND THEY SEEK MY LIFE”? But what does the divine response say to him? “I HAVE RESERVED FOR MYSELF SEVEN THOUSAND MEN WHO HAVE NOT BOWED THE KNEE TO BAAL.” Even so then, at this present time there is a remnant according to the election of grace. And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work. What then? Israel has not obtained what it seeks; but the elect have obtained it, and the rest were blinded. Just as it is written: “GOD HAS GIVEN THEM A SPIRIT OF STUPOR, EYES THAT THEY SHOULD NOT SEE AND EARS THAT THEY SHOULD NOT HEAR, TO THIS VERY DAY.” And David says: “LET THEIR TABLE BECOME A SNARE AND A TRAP, A STUMBLING BLOCK AND A RECOMPENSE TO THEM. LET THEIR EYES BE DARKENED, SO THAT THEY DO NOT SEE, AND BOW DOWN THEIR BACK ALWAYS.”

One of several key statements is made in these verses, that being:

“I say then, has God cast away His people? Certainly not! For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. God has not cast away His people whom He foreknew.”

They have purposely been blinded to the Truth. This does not mean they have been cut off. Any who says otherwise is a false teacher and should be shunned. God promises Abrahm something special for the people of Israel and He will allow them to fulfill it.

With this in mind. When it comes time to reading future events given to us in the Word of God. We must look at them from this perspective.

There are two things that need to be understood when looking at prophecy given in the Bible. Frist, where does Christianity end on the face of the earth during the tribulation. Second, where does the Jewish people’s greatest trails begin. When people come to understand these points, they awaken to the Truth found within the Bible when it come to the difference between these two groups. What will surprise most is that the answer to this riddle is basically the exact same time.

To be a born-again Christian Jesus Christ says this:

John 3:3-7 NKJV – Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?” Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’

To be born-again requires after accepting that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and that only through Him can you enter the kingdom of heaven.  First, you must be water baptized in His name. Second, you must be filled with the Holy Spirit.

If there is no Holy Spirit present none can become Christian. Yet, what do we learn from 2 Thessalonians.

 2 Thessalonians 2:6-7 NKJV – And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way.

It is the presence of the Holy Spirit on earth that now restrains the antichrist from being fully revealed. Therefore, once the Holy Ghost is removed is when all will know who the antichrist is which will be witnessed by the desolation of the third and last temple. When does this occur? The simple answer is given in the book of Daniel:

Daniel 9:27 NKJV – Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week; But in the middle of the week He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate, Even until the consummation, which is determined, Is poured out on the desolate.”

This leads us to these verses spoken by Jesus Christ:

Matthew 24:15-22 NKJV – “Therefore when you see the ‘ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION,’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place” (whoever reads, let him understand), “then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take anything out of his house. And let him who is in the field not go back to get his clothes. But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! And pray that your flight may not be in winter or on the Sabbath. For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened.

Therefore, those being warned here are not Christians, but Jewish people. This is seen in how He spoke these words and the fact that the antichrist is now fully revealed. Since the antichrist is revealed that means the Holy Spirit has been removed. Any who had been filled with the Holy Ghost had been removed due to His presence within them.

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 NKJV – Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.

Knowing these things brings into balance these verses found in the book of Revelation:

Revelation 7:1-14 NKJV – After these things I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, on the sea, or on any tree. Then I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God. And he cried with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was granted to harm the earth and the sea, saying, “Do not harm the earth, the sea, or the trees till we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.” And I heard the number of those who were sealed. One hundred and forty-four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel were sealed: of the tribe of Judah twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Gad twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Asher twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Naphtali twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Levi twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Issachar twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Zebulun twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Benjamin twelve thousand were sealed. After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, saying, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!” All the angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four living creatures, and fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, saying: “Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom, Thanksgiving and honor and power and might, Be to our God forever and ever. Amen.” Then one of the elders answered, saying to me, “Who are these arrayed in white robes, and where did they come from?” And I said to him, “Sir, you know.” So he said to me, “These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

Before the Holy Spirit is removed from the face of the earth. The 144,000 are sealed and protected from harm by God. These are only Jewish people as shown in these verses that were just read. Then we see the uncountable. The billions that are from every nation and race standing in white before God. These are the last of the temples of the Holy Ghost removed from the face of the earth. The 144,000 stays upon the earth and will witness what is to befall their fellow Israelites. The ones that were warned to flee from Jerusalem when the antichrist is revealed.

Consequently, it is very clear that there are two different prophecies being followed and fulfilled. Each with a purpose. Each with a definitive goal in mind. The salvation of both the Jews and the gentiles.

Why the Jewish nation has to endure through the harshness that is to follow once the antichrist is fully revealed is all due to their rejection of Jesus Christ as the Messiah.

One of the most important aspects that occurred in Jesus Christ’s ministry was the Sermon on the Mount. Here he put forth several of His principles and commands, which a majority rejected outright. It is soon after this point that He started teaching parables. It is the fact that He started teaching in parables that shows that Christ recognizes the fulfillment of prophecy of His rejection by the children of Israel. Which is why they must suffer through nearly the entire tribulation.

It must also be noted the wording of what will become the rapture of the Jewish people. So, let us look to these verses:

Daniel 12:1-3 NKJV – “At that time Michael shall stand up, The great prince who stands watch over the sons of your people; And there shall be a time of trouble, Such as never was since there was a nation, Even to that time. And at that time your people shall be delivered, Every one who is found written in the book. And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, Some to everlasting life, Some to shame and everlasting contempt. Those who are wise shall shine Like the brightness of the firmament, And those who turn many to righteousness Like the stars forever and ever.

“And at that time your people shall be delivered.”

This is why Israel must endure the tribulation. For it will cause them to finally accept the will of God and that the Messiah was and is Jesus of Nazareth.

Therefore, understand these things. There are two groups of events proceeding side by side at this very moment. One is for the gentiles, which have the Christians within them. The other is for Israel to fulfill the promise made to Abraham.

We are now witnessing events that show we are in the last days before the return of Jesus Christ. His first appearance will not be on the face of this earth but in the sky above and will be accompanied by the blast of a trumpet two times. On the second blast millions, not billions will disappear from the face of the earth. Just so you understand the sorrow of this last statement is that there are over 2.5 billion people that profess to being “Christian.” However, only millions will vanish in the twinkling of an eye. What will follow is the mandatory order to take the mark of the beast. This will take the form of a chip implanted in the hand and/or a tattoo. There are even indications that retinal scans may be introduced with something on or in the forehead. It is here that the others that are of the 2.5 billion still left upon this planet must decide. The mark or death. Then at the midpoint of the tribulation the Holy Spirit will be removed including those that are filled with the Holy Ghost. These will be in the billions.

It is at this point that the tribes of Israel will encounter their final trials to redeem themselves in the eyes of God. As witnessed in the wording of the book of Daniel. As the last part of the last three and half years near their end they will receive their rapture as promised to them in the book of Daniel.

It is time to decide your own fates. Time is running out. Do you wish to be in the millions or the billions or the damned? It is all up to you. Decide now. Downsize now and give it to the poor and the needy.

God Bless

Confessions of a screwed up middle aged man: misconceptions

Christian, General, Guide, Life, Relationship, Thoughts, , , , Leave a comment

A few months back I was able to have a discussion with a Jewish agnostic. They called themselves an atheist, but after some of our exchange I realized the person was really agnostic.
One of the things that this person kept bring up was my desire to have them quit being a Jew and to leave their heritage. This I must say was the furthest thing from my mind.
Would I have liked this person to have accepted Jesus as their Savior? Yes, but that would not require this person to stop being Jewish.
In fact I would have encouraged them to be proud of being a descendant of Jacob.
You see being Jewish and being Christian, or as it is called a Messianic Jew, is the greatest thing to strive for and is only able to be obtained by coming from one of the twelve sons of Jacob.
For it is said within the Bible that it is for those that God has the greatest of plans compared to the rest of those that live upon this planet.
Am I jealous of this? By all means no.
To me the greatest thing I could ever do for God at this time would be to help someone become a Messianic Jew.

Confessions of a screwed up middle aged man: The most compelling evidence yet

Christian, General, Guide, Life, Relationship, Thoughts, , , , , Leave a comment

Today as I was coming to the end of the book “The Case of Christ” by Lee Strobel I came across some of the strongest evidence of the reality of Christ’s resurrection. Now you have to understand. I have been a born again believer since 1985. I have had my ups and downs as is unfortunately normal for this day and age due to the weak society we live within. To hear this evidence worded in such a manner just deepened my belief and faith in God and His Son Jesus.
In the last chapter of the book Mr. Stobel is talking to Dr. J. P. Moreland. Here Dr. Moreland brings up the change that took place within thousands of Jews within Jerusalem. For thousands of year and to this day there were and is still a Jewish people. All other nations that existed since before Joseph led the Jewish nation into Egypt and their eventual enslavement have ceased to exist in their original form or are no longer even thought of. In that time the Jewish people have continued to exist. Many of those traditions are still in use today save the sacrifice and burnt offers. Yet soon after Christ’s crucifixion thousands of Jews abandoned these tradition. Why? Because many had seen the risen Christ and others were witness to the miracles performed by His disciples as well as seen the fires of Pentecost and heard the disciples talking in many languages which many of the Jew understood having come from far parts of the world upon pilgrimages to Jerusalem. This caused them to turn from their traditions to embrace Christianity.
You have to understand this. The world two thousand years ago was nothing like the world we now live within. Today those in this world are weak minded. Going to this fad or that fad. This bit of happiness over here and then a few days later running to this happiness over there. Face it we as a people are weak compared to those that lived not even a hundred years ago due to Television and other devices of technology. So it is hard for many to understand how people can turn away from their cultural foundations and wholeheartedly change literally overnight and stay that way the rest of their lives even under the threat of a torturous death.
God is real. Jesus is real. An eternal life is real and is for all of us. You, me, the person next to you. It is something that is truly worth dying for.
The disciples had run away from Jesus. They had thought Him killed, gone. Then within days after His death they suddenly were literally willing to die for their belief that Jesus rose from the dead, because He did and they attested to that till their deaths, many of which were horrifying.
Think upon that for a while.

Welcome to Progressive-America

I had actually called this posting “Welcome to Nazi-America” but it didn’t work, so I had to change it.
Yes. That is what I said: Nazi-America. I was awakened from my sleep to write this post as the realization that hit me in a dream. In the 1930’s Germany, Antisemitism was on the rise, which led to churches denying association with Jews. This ultimately led to the holocaust and the death of 13 million innocent lives.
Now in the USA, we have the Presbyterian Church denying its association with Israel as well as other measures that separate this “church” from God.
Now in the USA, we have colleges protesting against the Jews and the nation of Israel.
Now in the USA, we have the news media reporting against Israel defending itself from terrorist and we have this same news media supporting the terrorist. In addition, the news media does not presenting facts but opinion, which is not what the fourth estate was designed to do.
Now in the USA, we have the White House siding with those that are against Israel throughout the Middle East.
You never hear the news talk about white supremacist anymore, yet that are acting just like them as they defame Israel and the Jews within America. This to me says that the Liberals and the Nazis in America have joined forces. Two groups that were supposedly at opposite ends of the spectrum have joined forces completely a circle, a circle with a swastika within it.
It is time for those that call themselves Christian to step forward and make themselves heard. For those that truly follow God know that they are the thirteenth tribe of Israel. So in reality when people protest against the Jews and Israel they are also protesting against Christianity.
In Germany it was the Nazis which starting reducing the Church and the Jews. Now it is the Liberals. In Germany, the Nazi changed the educational system and rewrote history to make the Jews a pariah. Now it is the Liberals. In Germany, it was the Nazi that opinionated the news. Now it is the Liberals.
This must stop before there is another holocaust. This must change now. It is time to remove Liberals from power. It is time to place people that honor and respect God in public office. It is time to kick career politicians out of office and replace them with people that truly wish to help those that they represent. It is time to remove career government employees with people that are without jobs. IT IS TIME TO RETURN AMERICA TO GOD!!!

What happened to supporting Israel? (The United States of America under Baal)

(Special Note: What is to follow may sound like fire and brimstone, which I try to avoid doing, but you have to understand I do not plan these posting. They are spur of the moment and come from a burden upon my heart and may just be inspired but the Holy Spirit at times or they may not. Take it as it was meant to be given, something for you the reader to think about.)

There have only been two nations formed under God. The first was Israel. The second was the United States of America. Since these two nations are in essence both children of God, they have supported each other both publicly and through our government.
Now though the government is not supporting Israel and there is evidence they are in actuality supporting the enemies of the founding nation under God. Admittedly, Israel has turned their back on God several time through the centuries, which resulted in the nation being destroyed by the Romans. Nevertheless, God promised them they would return and so they have, and who was their biggest supporter when this took place? The USA, but now those in the government are siding with the enemies of Israel. This is wrong.
We have had God forced out of our schools. We have had God forced out of the public light. Now we do not even have God in the government. Enough is enough. It is time for Christianity and Jew alike that lives within the United States to stand up and make our voices heard.
Do you not realize that God has punished the United States before because it lived in sin? The Civil War was God’s punishment for slavery and still that took nearly one hundred more years to fully correct.
Now we have abortion, which in most cases is nothing more than human sacrifice to the god Baal because it is being uses as a method of escape from responsibility instead of used in dire need. Meaning the threat to the life of the mother, a case of rape or a onetime accident, but is instead used to remove child after child just so the parents can continue to live in sin.
We also have God being forced out of our schools and public places. Now we do not support Israel and people think God will not act upon this?
Israel did much the same and they were taken from their homeland for hundreds of years. All because they forgot that God is God.
Well America has forgotten that God is God and if we do not act to correct our sins then God will do it for us and that is something I do not want my children and grandchildren to have suffer because of our sins.
We are being selfish, and from selfishness all other sins come from. Theft, murder, greed, gluttony, war all stem from selfishness and at this time the United States of America has never been so selfish.
People sit at home collecting money from the government not working out of selfishness.
People go to abortion clinics to murder a child because they are so selfish they do not want to be a parent.
They are so selfish they do not watch the news and realize that their nation is in so much jeopardy that it is on the brink of collapse.
To not know the name of our leaders throughout history. To not know what our nation has had to go through to allow them to have the freedom. To be so selfish and self-centered is an abomination before God and you do not think God will do something about it.
It is time not only from prayer, but also for action from those that call themselves Christian and Jewish alike. We need to make our voices heard. We need to contact those in power and get them to know that they are wrong to ignore Israel. We need to vote them out of office if they do not listen or even recall them before their term is up and replace them. Do not sit at home thinking someone else is going to do it because they are thinking the exact same thing.
If they support the murder of unborn children then they need to be voted out anyway. I have no problem allowing women the free-will to choose to keep a child or not, but they need to be educated in a way not to use abortion as a way to continue to live in sin.
This nation is very close to receiving a judgment from God, and it is not going to be good for any of us, including myself.
It is time to realize that God made this nation. It is time to realize that God keeps this nation. Therefore, if God is not happy with this nation it is within His power to remove this nation from the world at large. He has done it before and he will do it again.
