Why are people aghast at the ideological LEFT, the Progressive, the Socialist, the Democrat, SUPPORT for Islamic terrorism and murder against the people of Israel?
Why are there protests in the streets of America’s major municipalities and municipalities around the World advocating for Islam’s butchering of the Israeli people, a hatred for Israel that mirrors their hatred for the United States who supports Israel?
Perhaps it’s a failure of education; perhaps it’s a result of historical revisionism? Truth be told, every ideological difference between the Progressive and the Conservative is SPIRITUAL at its root. Anyone who advocates for the murder of children in or out of the womb; anyone who advocates for unconscionable sexual perversion – gender confusion forced upon children; anyone who advocates for the horrors of Marxism; anyone who hates the Nation of Israel and Jacob’s children and revels in terrorist acts against them; anyone who advocates for the decimation of the American citizen through the horrors of open borders, legalized drugs, a weakened justice system; anyone who advocates for, supports, American terrorist organizations represented by Black Lives Matter; ANTIFA, Black Panthers, White Supremacist Clans, are servants of Satan and they do NOT know our Creator, Elohim.
Jesus said “You will know them by their fruits;” that is, you will know a person by the way they act, the things they support, their lifestyle, their affections (Matthew 7:15-20). The ideological “line in the sand” is distinct and irrefutable as those who LOVE Elohim love the things Elohim cherishes; those who serve the Devil advocate for the works of the Devil. Yes, one can put forth a sundry of logical arguments supporting one side or the other but those arguments are rooted in the SPIRITUAL and they too will be judged.
Christians support Israel because our Messiah is Jewish emanating from the Tribe of Judah and our daily lives and our eternity are wholly in His hands. Elohim chose Israel, Judah, to enter the Realm of Time and Elohim poured His heart into Jacob’s children. Israel, Jerusalem, is the Center of the Earth and Elohim’s sovereign choice concerning His eschatological plan for Time and Eternity; therefore, what Elohim loves, Christians love; what Elohim supports, Christians support.
Islam’s history – the World’s destiny explained with succinctness…
Islam’s Allah is Satan masquerading as an angel of light via the Arabic moon god (2 Corinthians 11:14). Muhammad is a 7th-Century demon-possessed nomadic pedophile murdering thief who plagiarized the Torah to construct the Quran.
Muhammad is a product of the Ishmaelites, a virulent enemy of Israel, whose progenitor is Ishmael, a “wild ass” of a man born of adultery between Abraham and Hagar (Genesis 16:12). Ishmael via Hagar is NOT the son of promise but only Isaac is the child of promise through Sarah and Abraham through whom the promise of Messiah was given (Genesis 12:3b; Genesis 22:2).
Islam is a demonically rooted religious cult of death and Hell and its presence within the Realm of Time represents the spiritual wickedness of Satan and his fallen angels.
The spiritual struggle between Israel – Christianity and Islam is a physical manifestation of the spiritual war that rages in both the Spiritual Realm and the Physical Realm (Ephesians 6), a spiritual and physical conflict that will NOT be concluded until subsequent Messiah’s Millennial Reign where the entirety of Elohim’s enemies will be destroyed by fire and Satan, the Beast, the False Prophet, the fallen angels, interned in the spiritual Hell, forever (Revelation 20).
This present Earth, peace, a New Heaven and a New Earth, Judgment, the Lake of Fire…
There will be no peace upon the Earth until Messiah’s 2nd-Advent to the Mount of Olives manifesting toward the conclusion of the Tribulation Era – 3.5-years of nuclear horror that ravages all of humanity and every Nation and tongue. This 3.5-year Tribulation horror will culminate with Messiah’s victory over Russia-China-Iran/Islam and Messiah’s majestic entrance into the Temple Mount and the initiation of His Millennial Kingdom; this, accompanied by the simultaneous incarceration of Satan and the fallen angels who are bound for 1000-years within the Spiritual Realm having no influence upon human kind in the Physical Realm (Revelation 20). This Millennial era will be a time of peace and joy in the majesty of Jesus our King as Jesus will receive the Kingdom denied Him at His first Advent.
As a final example to the faithful angelic creation observing the horrors of sin and disobedience upon the Earth, Satan will be released and ravage-deceive the Nations once again who will rebel against Elohim, once again; but ultimately, the rebellious, demonically persuaded, of humanity will be annihilated by fire culminating in the Judgement of the Condemned (Revelation 20:10-15) where all of the unfaithful in humanity will be adjudicated “guilty” and suffer the “second death” and their resurrected mind, body, soul, will be completely annihilated in the “Lake of Fire;” a “Lake of Fire” that is the burning and purification of this Earth and the Heavens (2 Peter 3:10-14) as Elohim purifies the defilement of this Earth and forms a New Earth and a New Heaven and subsequently places His eternal Kingdom, “The New Jerusalem,” upon that New Earth and the resurrected righteous in Jesus will serve their resurrected Creator-Messiah, forever (Revelation 21-22; Philippians 3:21).
Do you really believe people go straight to Hell for not believing in Jesus?
Anyone who denies Jesus as Messiah will NOT enter the Kingdom of God (John 14:6). From Adam forward, those who die rejecting Elohim by faith and those who die in the New Covenant rejecting Messiah as Lord are currently interned in Sheol-Hades/torments awaiting the Judgment of the Condemned (Luke 16; Revelation 20:11-15; John 5:28-29).
Subsequent Messiah’s Millennial Reign, there will be a Judgment of the Condemned (Revelation 20:11-15) and those who have rejected the Father’s offer of a pardon from death in Hell due to sin will be judged and adjudicated guilty and lose both resurrected body and soul in the Lake of Fire, a place of eternal death created for the Devil and his angels (Revelation 20:10; Matthew 25:41).
We are in the midst of an unfathomable spiritual war and we have but two-options concerning our alliance…Jesus or Satan. If you choose Satan by rejecting Jesus as your Messiah, you will not be provided a place in the coming Kingdom; therefore, your resurrected mind, body, soul, must be eliminated as a participant in the Great Kingdom War…there will be no place for you, your reality will be annihilated as your defilement will NOT be permitted to enter the Kingdom…there is no place for the rebellious and arrogant (Revelation 21:27); therefore, you are commanded to choose this day whom you will serve. That choice has eternal ramifications.
Concerning those who believe Israel is exempt from Messiah as Lord and repentance is sufficient for the Father’s grace…
You can repent till your dying exhalation but unless that repentance is coupled with faith in the Messiah, believing that Messiah Jesus died for you, you will perish in Hell (John 3; John 14:6; 8:24). The Father has provided ONE STANDARD for righteousness and covenant relationship with Him…Jesus the Messiah as one’s Lord and Savior; that is, one must receive the imputed-gifted righteousness of Messiah Jesus over their life by faith in Him as their Messiah who died for them (John 3; 2 Corinthians 5:21). No one enters the Kingdom of God based on genealogy or heritage. Jew, Israelite, Gentile, must all pass through the same Portal…Jesus the Messiah by faith (Acts 4:12).
Seeing that the Christian is not under law but under grace (Romans 6:14) how does the Christian reconcile the instructions, the commandments, of Jesus with the freedom from enslavement to law received through the Holy Spirit in the New Covenant (Romans 7:6); after all, Jesus did say “If you love me you will keep my commandments” (John 14:15)?
First of all, if you desire to know and understand and internalize what Jesus taught; if you desire to honor Messiah’s commandments articulated during His Earthly ministry, you must first enter into New Covenant relationship with the Father by faith in the Son, trust fully in Jesus as your Messiah who died for you (John 3) and receive the indwelling Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13-14) who will bring to your remembrance all that Jesus has said (John 14:26) and this with spiritual understanding and the anointing to make Messiah’s teaching, His commandments, applicable to your personal life (1 John 2:27).
Second, walk in obedience to the indwelling Holy Spirit given you as Guarantor of New Covenant relationship with the Father when you have trusted in Jesus as your Messiah (Galatians 5:16; Ephesians 1:13-14); it is the indwelling Holy Spirit who employs the spiritual law written upon your heart (Romans 2:14-15) in combination with the redeemed conscience (2 Corinthians 5:17), a new creation received from your New Covenant relationship with the Father, and through you the Spirit will produce fruits of righteousness against which there is no Law and that fruit fulfills all Law (Galatians 5). Jesus said “You will know them by their fruit” (Matthew 7:15-20).
In response to your faith in Jesus as your Messiah, the Father has gifted-imputed the righteousness, the sinless perfection, of Jesus into and over your life (2 Corinthians 5:21) and by covenant promise the Father has declared you “not guilty” (Hebrews 8:12) and you have become a member of Elohim’s inner circle as His family and that fruit which the Spirit produces through you via your obedience, the Father is blessed and pleased and ultimately glorified.
Nine of the Ten Sinai Commandments, those reinstituted into the New Covenant by Messiah are what we define as “moral” law which are eternal and govern behavior vertically and horizontally, forever. The 4th-Commandment is a civil-ceremonial law that was made applicable to Israel’s children specifically and sojourners with them beginning in Exodus 16.
The Sinai Commandments are but a mere fraction of the spiritual law (Romans 2:14-15) that has been relevant subsequent the creation of the angels as an arbiter of free will.
Sinai’s purpose,
The Commandments were given Israel as an eschatological bulwark against compromise with paganism that inundated the Tribes, a pagan ideology that relentlessly sought Israel’s compromise with Baal and Molech…a paganistic compromise that would have thwarted Elohim’s eschatological will through Jacob’s children concerning the Messiah through Judah, much like that same form of paganism destroyed both the Adamic and Noahic generations and their ability to produce the Messiah foreordained “to destroy the works of the Devil” (1 John 3:8b).
The Sinai Commandments were given for a Time and a specific purpose but they represent only a fragmented, incomplete, codification of Elohim’s law just as Jacob’s children represent a miniscule fraction of societal totality.
Sinai and the Christian?
The Christian, reborn spiritually by faith in Messiah and sealed by the indwelling Holy Spirit (John 3; Ephesians 1:13-14), does NOT live daily contemplating Sinai or its mandates but the Christian lives through obedience to the indwelling Holy Spirit and the “spiritual law of the Spirit of life” written upon the human heart and not the “law of sin and death,” a written code seeking perfect compliance from the old-sin nature (Romans 8:2).
The Christian life and law,
The Christian lives daily through the anointing of the indwelling Spirit who produces fruit through the redeemed conscience that honors the Father and fulfills all law, fruit, against which there is NO LAW (2 Corinthians 5:17’ Galatians 5); therefore, Sinai and Torah Law are relatively insignificant concerning sanctification of the Christian via the Holy Spirit in the New Covenant; the Holy Spirit who prepares the Christian for eternal service in the New Jerusalem via the spiritual catalyst of the eternal spiritual law and the redeemed conscience for the production of divine “fruit,” NOT letters etched in stone or scratched upon parchment. Jesus said that “You will know them by their fruit” (Matthew 7:15-20), divine fruits of righteousness that fulfill all law.
If you love me you will keep my commandments…
Yes, Jesus said to a Jewish audience, “If you love me you will keep my commandments.” (John 14:15) but those dying in legalism and enslavement to a written code don’t contemplate the words of Messiah that immediately follow v.15,
“And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever— the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you.” John 14:16-17
In conclusion,
What the legalist and the lost Jew and Israelite don’t understand is the truism that void the indwelling Holy Spirit, there is no pleasing the Father through obedience as the Holy Spirit, gifted the redeemed in Jesus by faith (Ephesians 1:13-14), is the Teacher of the Spiritual Law written upon the heart, a Spiritual Law that is eternally superior to Sinai or any written code as the Spirit methodically addresses every moral decision that confronts the Christian moment-by-moment while the written code is far too often the subject of obfuscation, rationalization and compromise by the old sin-nature; therefore, if you desire life with the Father and obedience that actually pleases the Father, you must first believe in the Son, Jesus Christ, receive the Holy Spirit and walk in daily sanctification via the Spirit’s tutelage (Romans 7:6), the Spirit of Truth (John 16:13) and the One who reminds the Christian of all that Jesus taught (John 14:26).
