The daily life of the Christian v. Judaism v. Islam/religion…
No one is justified by the Law (Romans 3:20) and the Christian is NOT under Law but under grace through faith in Jesus (Roman 6:14); therefore, the Christian goes about their daily life NOT in enslavement to laws, rules, days, diets (Romans 7:6) but they walk in freedom and obedience to the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:16) and the Spirit employs the spiritual law written upon the heart (Romans 2:14-15) in combination with the redeemed conscience (2 Corinthians 5:17) to produce fruit and this fruit fulfills all law (Galatians 5).
Jesus said “You will know them by their fruit” (Matthew 7:15-20)…when Jesus mentioned “commandments” He was speaking to an audience under the Law as the New Covenant had not yet been enacted in His blood at Golgotha…it was a transitory period…Christianity is NOT about commandment keeping but about faith, grace, peace with the Father and walking in the Spirit, daily, producing fruits of righteousness that validates that saving faith as authentic; in this, there is eternal peace with Elohim (Romans 5:1).
30 What shall we say, then That Gentiles who did not pursue righteousness have attained it, that is, a righteousness that is by faith; 31 but that Israel who pursued a law that would lead to righteousness did not succeed in reaching that law. 32 Why Because they did not pursue it by faith, but as if it were based on works. They have stumbled over the stumbling stone, 33 as it is.
Torah Law v. New Covenant “Spiritual Law” & raison d’etre?
Torah’s sole raison d’etre or “reason for being” is Yeshua. The Pentateuch, the Historical Books, the Prophets, are all a roadmap, a path, to a specific eschatological destination and that Destination is Yeshua, our Divine Warrior prophesied to enter the Ream of Time via the virgin seed (ovum) (Genesis 3:15) for the primary reason of engaging in battle “to destroy the works of the devil” (1 John 3:8b) via a divine battle strategy revealed as “The Gospel of Grace,” a divine battle strategy ordained “before Time began” (2 Timothy 1:8-10); therefore, it is theologically accurate to conclude that Torah was simply an eschatological roadmap but was never intended to be the destination as Yeshua is the Destination concerning everything eschatological, redemptive, eternal (Matthew 5:17; John 5:39; John 5:46; Luke 24:44).
Torah Law is nothing new or novel but simply a fragmented codification of the “law of the Spirit of life” (Romans 8:2; Romans 2:14-15); Torah Law given specifically to Jacob’s children and sojourners seeking refuge in that theocracy; Torah Law, Elohim’s document of sanctification, instructions for a setting apart of Jacob’s children, etched in stone, scratched upon parchment via Moses in an effort to prevent a repeat, the catastrophic eschatological failures involving the Adamic and Noahic generations who had morally and ethically compromised with demonic paganism; defilement worthy of societal extinction by water save eight; two-generations of human kind having become sexually, morally, ethically, defiled to a point of complete impotency concerning Elohim’s eschatological plan relevant to the introduction of His Messiah.
Elohim’s eternal law,
Elohim’s eternal law, the “law of the Spirit of life” was infused within the human genome on Day-6 as human kind was uniquely created in the spiritual image of Elohim (Genesis 1:26-28) and thereby possesses certain divine communicable attributes of Elohim with the spiritual law being but one of those divine attributes; this, for eschatological purposes going forward; namely, the sustainability of human kind; the “law of the Spirit of life” given as a bulwark against societal implosion via unrestrained narcissism. Torah Law, introduced thousands of years later, was never intended as the destination but a roadmap to that destination; specifically, Yeshua.
The eternal law & the New Covenant,
Torah Law is not Elohim’s chosen arbiter of free will or covenant relationship but the “law of the Spirit of life” is the chosen divine legal – spiritual bulwark that differentiates Light from darkness, good from evil, life from death. The “law of the Spirit of life,” written upon the human heart at conception in the womb, is the law employed by the indwelling Holy Spirit in the New Covenant (Ezekiel 36:26; Jeremiah 31:33; Hebrews 8:10) in combination with the redeemed conscience of the faithful in Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:17) to produce “fruits of righteousness” against which there is no law as the fruit produced by the Holy Spirit through the redeemed in Jesus by faith fulfills all law, all commandments, those etched in stone, scratched upon parchment, written upon the human heart; therefore, the “law of the Spirit of life” is eternally superior to the fragmented, incomplete, Torah Law as the “law of the Spirit of life” will endure throughout Eternity as free will exists in the New Jerusalem by necessity.
Finally,
The Christian does not pursue laws etched in stone or scratched upon parchment (Romans 7:6), the remnants of a bygone Covenant that defined sin but provided no form of atonement and lasting peace with Elohim (Romans 3:20); therefore, Christians walk daily in sanctification through obedience to the indwelling Holy Spirit and “law of the Spirit of life” written upon their heart where their walk is pleasing to the Father through the production of righteous fruit which fosters intimacy and peace with the Father, eternally (Galatians 5:16; Romans 5:1).
Question was asked: “How can one claim to be a Christian if they don’t obey the Law? Their religion is useless.”
If you’ve been redeemed by faith in Jesus (John 3) you have received the indwelling Holy Spirit as Guarantor of that New Covenant relationship with the Father (Ephesians 1:13-14) and it is the indwelling Spirit that employs the redeemed conscience of the faithful (2 Corinthians 5:17) and combines that redeemed conscience with the spiritual law written upon the heart (Romans 2:14-15; Romans 8:2) and the Spirit then produces fruits of righteousness (Galatians 5) through the redeemed believer and this fruit fulfills all law; in fact, there are no laws against the “fruit of the Spirit.” Jesus said “You will know them by their fruit” (Matthew 7:15-20).
If one desires to live a life that is pleasing to the Father, they must first comply with the Father’s will by faith in Jesus as their Messiah (John 6:29) and live by the Spirit, daily, as the Holy Spirit methodically and patiently prepares them for service in the New Jerusalem (Galatians 5:16).
Law is relevant in the New Covenant but that law is not etched in stone or scratched upon parchment but the Christian lives by the “law of the Spirit of life” and NOT “the law of sin and death” (Romans 8:2).
The spiritual law AKA “the law of the Spirit of life” (Romans 2:14-15; Romans 8:2) is that law which has been relevant subsequent the creation of the angels as the spiritual law is Elohim’s arbiter of free will.
The spiritual law was infused within the human genome on Day-6 as human kind was created in the spiritual image of Elohim possessing certain divine communicable attributes of Elohim, one of those communicable attributes being the spiritual law essential as a bulwark against societal extinction by buffering unrestrained narcissism.
It is the spiritual law that judged the Adamic and Noahic generations of wickedness, vileness, worthy of death by water save eight (Genesis 6).
That same spiritual law is the root of the Code of Hammurabi and foundational to the Sinai Commandments. Torah Law is nothing new or novel but simply a fragmented codification of the spiritual law given specifically to Jacob’s children and sojourners with them for the eschatological purposes of sanctification, a setting apart from demonically rooted paganism that inundated the Tribes, demonic paganism – the worship of pagan gods (Baal – Molech) that relentlessly sought Israel’s compromise; demonic compromise that would have thwarted Elohim’s eschatological plan concerning the Messiah who was destined to enter the Realm of Time via the Tribe of Judah in order “to destroy the works of the devil” (1 John 3:8b) via a battle strategy known as “The Gospel” which was ordained “before Time began” (2 Timothy 1:8-10).
That same spiritual law is employed by the indwelling Holy Spirit in the New Covenant (Ephesians 1:13-14; 1 John 2:27) to guide the redeemed conscience of the faithful in Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:17; Galatians 5:16)) during sanctification where the Spirit produces fruits of righteousness through the redeemed; fruit, against which there is no law (Galatians 5; Matthew 7:15-20).
That same spiritual law will judge the condemned and their works at the Great White Throne Judgment (Revelation 20:11-15) and that same spiritual law will remain relevant throughout Eternity as free will is extant in the New Jerusalem by necessity.
Concerning the spiritual ignorance, the spiritual darkness, that under girds antisemitism and the divine conveyance, the eschatological imperative, relevant to the Nation of Israel, its existence within the Realm of Time…a response…
In the Biblical Wars, the spoils of war go to the victor…those defeated had no rights…they were slaves-indentured servants or ostracized or deceased. Considering the truism that Elohim is omniscient, it is logical and reasonable to conclude that the Land known as “Israel” was foreordained as the property of the Jew before Time began. There was no Palestine until the Roman occupation of Israel who named Israel’s property as “Palestine” to offend the Jewish people who loathed the Philistines. Yasser Arafat, a demon possessed Chairman of the Palestinian Liberation Organization, popularized the name of “Palestine” for propaganda purposes.
Elohim’s unconditional covenant with Abraham and the Land of Israel,
As I have written recently, the “unconditional covenant” that Elohim made with Abraham concerning the Land of Israel (Genesis 13) is concerning property rights guaranteed by Divine Authority and the current spiritual condition of the inhabitants (the secularized Jew) is wholly irrelevant as the Land itself is of supreme eschatological relevance, geographical relevance, and the Land of Israel will remain in custody of the Jew prefacing the Tribulation and throughout the Millennial Kingdom.
Israel and the Tribulation,
Also relevant is the truism that Elohim will destroy the enemies of Israel (Russia-China-Iran/Islam) and redeem a “remnant” of Jacob’s seed during the Tribulation Era and this redeemed seed will accompany Yeshua into His Millennial Kingdom and faithfully serve Him there (Isaiah 10:22; Romans 9:27). Elohim’s glorification of Israel’s Land and the redeemed remnant is NOT for Israel’s glory but for the glory of Elohim in the presence of His faithful angelic creation – an eschatological imperative concerning the defeat of Satan and restoration of holiness and peace to the Eternal Kingdom, holiness and peace defiled by a rebellious cherub angel.
Israel and genocide?
Israel is NOT committing genocide, Islam, the servant of Satan, is guilty of genocide and the United Nations, their antisemitic opinion, is wholly irrelevant. HAMAS violated “international laws” and “warfare protocol” and “moral laws and ethics” and the Palestinians are complicit and culpable as they, with volition and vote, chose HAMAS as their governing authority.
What is Islam? Ishmael v. Isaac
Islam is demonically rooted, a religion of death. Islam’s Allah is Satan masquerading as an angel of light via the Arabic moon god (2 Corinthians 11:14). Muhammad is a demon possessed product of Ishmael (the Ishmaelites) who was born via adultery between Abraham and Hagar. Ishmael is NOT the son of promise but only Isaac is the son of promise through Abraham as Abraham’s “only begotten son” (Genesis 22:2-18; Genesis 25:5-6).
Who is Muhammad?
Muhammad is a 7th-Century demon possessed, murdering, thieving, pedophile who plagiarized the Torah to construct the Quran in hopes of convincing the Jews in Media to follow his new “religion.” Muhammad is the progenitor of the Islamic Caliphate who murdered and raped and pillaged in the name of Allah and this demonic behavior continues to this very day; therefore, when you support these demons of Islam, you cast a dark shadow on your soul and highlight your lack of wisdom in this matter; in fact, you make yourself an enemy of Elohim irrespective of your spiritual ignorance evidenced by your prejudice against the Jewish people and their Divine Right to occupy the Land of Israel (Matthew 12:30; Genesis 12:3; Genesis 25:5); tragically, you are warring against Elohim’s divine eschatological will.
Israel-Christianity & Islam, the spiritual war that identifies and differentiates Light from Darkness…
The free will choice of servitude to Elohim or enslavement to Satan has been exponentially magnified by the current war between Israel and HAMAS/Palestine/Iran.
Those who support Israel and Israel’s right to exist as a democratic Nation in the Middle East possess a heart that seeks the Truth of Scripture as they honor the Author of Scripture, Elohim.
Those who support Islam are enslaved to Allah AKA the Devil and they are his servants (John 8:44).
Those who obfuscate and claim a position of neutrality honor Allah, the Devil, as well (Matthew 12:30).
Thank you Elohim for this irrefutable clarification.
Hell – the Lake of Fire – Gehenna – Valley of Hinnom; Spiritual or Physical or both? What can we garner from Scripture?
Currently, the region of Hell is spiritual, existing in the Spiritual Realm, as it was created for Satan and the fallen angels (Matthew 25:41) and only the most vile of demons are interned there at this juncture in Elohim’s eschatological plan; this, as a result of their deception, their unconscionable defilement, within the Adamic and Noahic generations that ultimately led to the extinction of humanity by water save eight (Jude 1:6).
It is important to note that the physical Hell AKA the Lake of Fire, manifesting in the Physical Realm subsequent Messiah’s Millennial Kingdom, is not relevant for humanity until subsequent the Judgment of the Condemned (Revelation 20:11-15). Currently, all unrighteous dead from the Adamic generation forward who are not redeemed by faith and have died in body are interned in Sheol/Hades-Torments (Luke 16), a spiritual internment within the Spiritual Realm, awaiting the “resurrection of the condemned” and the final Judgment before Jesus Christ (John 5:28-29). These unrighteous condemned possess total situational awareness, they are fully cognizant of their surroundings in Sheol/Hades and are in torment due their defilement and rejection of Elohim. These defiled who rejected covenant with Elohim by faith will be resurrected in a body of corruption and stand before Jesus for adjudication concerning works done in body within the constraints of Time; this judgment will manifest immediately subsequent Messiah’s Millennial Reign (Revelation 20:11-15).
A physical Hell, the Lake of Fire, often compared to the fire of Gehenna (Valley of Hinnom), will manifest in the physical Realm of Time subsequent the Millennial Reign of Messiah as the “Judgment of the Condemned” (Revelation 20:10-15) will run concurrently with the destruction of the Earth and the Heavens by fire…this will be the “second death” for all whose names are absent the Lamb’s Book of Life…they will be dissolved in fervent heat, consumed in fire and their death will be the “second death”…an eternal death as the Earth is purified by fire and remolded, restructured, into the New Earth and a New Heaven which will be foundational for the Heavenly City, the New Jerusalem (Revelation 20-21-22).
The Spiritual Hell and the Physical Hell,
The Lake of Fire within the Spiritual Realm will be eternal for Satan and his angels as they are spirit and they will not die (Revelation 20:10; Luke 20:36); therefore, the “Hell” of the Spiritual Realm will be eternal suffering; the Lake of Fire for rebellious humanity, the Physical Hell, will be the fire of purification concerning the old Earth and the old Heavens dissolved by unconscionable heat…this is the second death and these will be as if they never existed; this, due our Lord’s mandate that “nothing impure will ever enter” His Kingdom (Revelation 21:27).
In closing,
It is only the purity, the sinless perfection, of Jesus Christ gifted – imputed into our life by grace through faith in Jesus as our Messiah that opens the Door to the Kingdom (John 10:9-16) as only the sinless purity of Jesus over our lives by faith initiates eternal covenant with the Father that results in covenant promise of forgiveness of sin (John 3; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Hebrews 8:12); therefore, without Jesus as our Intercessor before the Father and the indwelling Holy Spirit as Guarantor of covenant, there is no hope, only Hell, the second death, nihilism, awaits (Ephesians 1:13-14; Acts 4:12).
2 Peter 3: The day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up… the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will melt with fervent heat?
What does it mean that Elohim chose Israel? Differentiating between Elohim’s “conditional” and “unconditional” covenants and their relevance in the current Israel v. Iran/Islam war…
Israel was “chosen” as a Nation of sanctification, a setting apart for Elohim’s eschatological purposes. It’s eternally relevant that Elohim’s sovereign “choices” concerning the introduction of His Messiah into the Realm of Time; this, concerning the destruction of the works of Satan (1 John 3:8b), has nothing to do with the responsibility of Jacob’s children concerning their individual responsibility to trust in Elohim by faith, faith being the KEY to establishing a covenant relationship with the Father; this, from Adam forward. There is a prevailing misnomer and misunderstanding concerning Jacob’s children as Elohim’s chosen; yes, Elohim has set-apart a people group concerning His sovereign eschatological purposes but it’s the “physical Nation of Israel” that received an “unconditional covenant” from Elohim, not the individual Jew or Israelite.
Elohim’s covenant concerning the “Nation” of Israel itself is “unconditional;” that is, Elohim will keep this covenant irrespective of the faithfulness or unfaithfulness of Jacob’s children (Genesis 13:14-17) as Elohim’s covenants concerning the Nation of Israel are of eternal relevance concerning eschatology and the culmination of all things through Messiah; the establishment of a New Covenant providing blood atonement for sin and access to the Kingdom; the defeat of Satan at Golgotha; the Great Commission; the Tribulation; the Millennial Kingdom; the Judgment of Satan and the Condemned; the purification of the Heavens and the Earth by fire; the creation of a New Heaven and New Earth and ultimately the placement of the New Jerusalem and eternal service to Elohim via the resurrection.
These eschatological prophecies must come to pass and the Nation of Israel is a major player in these eschatological events; therefore, be cautious when suggesting that the Jewish-Israeli people are “chosen” when it is the Nation of Israel that Elohim has “unconditionally chosen” as those who are of Jacob’s seed are individually responsible for their personal, intimate, covenant relationship with Elohim which is attainable only by grace through faith; this, as Jacob’s seed has received NO special salvation dispensation apart from the prerequisite offered the Gentile from Adam forward; that is, grace through faith (Hebrews 11).
Israel – Elohim – Allah/Islam – Satan’s motives revealed…
Also note, Israel’s children and their relationship with Elohim as a “Nation of Israelite’s” (blessing and cursing) was “conditionally” predicated upon “National Obedience” as per Deuteronomy 28 and though Jacob’s children failed to maintain covenant with Elohim as per these mandates, Elohim is “unconditionally” obligated to Israel as a Nation, a Nation that is the “focal point” of all eschatology going forward; this, but one reason Satan through Islam fervently seeks to erase the Nation of Israel from the Global geographical map. Islam’s Allah is Satan masquerading as an “angel of light” via the Arabic moon god (2 Corinthians 11:14); therefore, understand that Islam’s obsession with the complete annihilation of the Nation of Israel and “wiping Israel from the map” is purely spiritual as Satan seeks to nullify Elohim’s unconditional promises thereby making Elohim a liar; this spiritual motive of Satan also under girding the Jewish Holocaust as Islam allied with Hitler to formalize and enact the “final solution.”
Unconditional v. Conditional Covenants,
Differentiating Elohim’s “unconditional” and “conditional” covenants concerning Israel and Jacob’s seed is eternally relevant as Jacob’s children are currently under divine judgment for their rejection of the Great Commission; their rejection and conspiratorial murder of Messiah; their insistence that Messiah’s blood be upon them and their children (Matthew 27:25); Jewish-Israeli continued rejection, unbelief, in Messiah Yeshua (Isaiah 10:22; Romans 9:27; Romans 9-11) yet Elohim WILL sustain the Nation of Israel NOT due His conditional covenants with Jacob’s seed but due His “unconditional covenant” concerning the Nation of Israel, its strategic location and eschatological relevance going forward; therefore, pray for the Nation of Israel, pray for peace in Jerusalem and pray for the individual Jew and Israelite that they might trust in Yeshua as their Messiah who died for them and thereby LIVE by faith and not in self-righteousness through Torah Law.
Israel will survive; Israel will be victorious; Man’s opinion is irrelevant…
Israel represents the ONLY people in the Middle East willing to provide the Palestinians a place of refuge…NO ONE in the surrounding Muslim majority Nations want the Hell that comes with Palestinian Islamic radical ideology.
Israel IS the Bible and Elohim’s eschatological focal point in Time…you can accept this or deny it but your opinion is IRRELEVANT as Israel will survive and Islam will burn as will Satan who is Islam’s Allah.
Israel is the undeniable chasm that divides the Light from the darkness. Those who advocate the Light, Jesus Christ, defend Israel as the Light is Israel (John 8:12); those who defend the false light (2 Corinthians 11:14); that is, Islam’s Allah, join themselves with the darkness that will be judged by fire.
Light v. Darkness revealed in the United States
This current conflict between Israel and Palestine’s governing authority, HAMAS, has brought to light the spiritual divide in the United States as those who defend Israel ally with Elohim; those who defend Palestine advocate for the Devil, Allah, and this chasm in America is relevant concerning every aspect of our declining Nation as the servants of Satan-Allah are in authority and the people suffer in immoral filth.
Those who support Israel’s battle with Islamic terrorism v. those who support Islam, the Muslim World. What is the differentiating LINE IN THE SAND?
With succinctness as the objective, the LINE IN THE SAND dividing support for Israel v. support for the Islamist – the Muslim is wholly SPIRITUAL. Those who advocate for Israel’s right to exist and support Israel in their response to Islamic terrorism understand Elohim’s eschatological objectives, they believe Elohim is our Creator and Israel is His eschatological representative in Time and they therefore support Israel’s right to exist as a sovereign Nation given Jacob’s children via an unconditional covenant between Elohim and Abraham, Isaac, Jacob (Israel) and realized through Moses and Joshua.
On the other hand, those who support Islam, Palestine, the Muslim World deny Elohim’s sovereignty concerning Israel; therefore, those who advocate Islam’s terrorism against Jacob’s children are aligned with Satan and Satan’s objective of destroying Jerusalem, Israel and Jacob’s children thereby thwarting Messiah Yeshua’s future Millennial Reign.
The struggle between Israel and Islam is the struggle between Elohim and Satanic forces, a war that rages in the Spiritual Realm and manifests itself in the Physical Realm through the struggles of Israel/Christianity v. Islam-Satan.
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).
