Pray for Israel; Pray for Jerusalem. Eschatology unfolding…

Pray for Israel; Pray for Jerusalem. Eschatology unfolding…

Saturday, 07 October 2023, the Nation of Israel was invaded by Hamas Terrorists supported by Iran/Islam as Hamas proceeded to murder hundreds, if not thousands, of Israeli women, children, husbands, wives, grandparents, grandchildren…gunned down much like the Jews of the Holocaust, this time, by Islamist Nazis whose god is Satan.

Israel, blessed by Elohim,

A couple of decades ago, I spent some time in the Old City of Jerusalem, the Mount of Olives, Masada, the Dead Sea, Capernaum, Bethsaida, the Sea of Galilee, and I felt and appreciated the love of the Israeli people, Israeli hospitality, and I felt and internalized the hate of the Muslim-Islamist. Employed by a local government in the United States, maybe it was my demeanor, one Muslim said it was my walk…but I was followed, surveilled, through the Old City, I was pelted with fruit in the Muslim Quarter. I was scorned for my love of Israel and the Israeli people while visiting vendors in the Muslim Quarter.

I received information from the State Department to leave Israel…the threat to American citizens was too high. I did not leave but watched Israeli soldiers and police make every effort to guard against Islamist terrorism, the traffic stops, the bus inspections, the check points, the armed citizenry, the M-16’s carried over the shoulders of Israeli students and military trainees. I watched a van load of Islamists breech a gate at Jericho. I was almost arrested by Muslim security at the Eastern Gate for having trespassed in a Muslim cemetery as I prepared to climb the last 50-feet to the Gate’s base and touch the very place where my Messiah would enter the Old City of Jerusalem to initiate His Millennial Reign.

I had walked down the Mount of Olives, passed through the Kidron Valley and entered the Muslim Cemetery, tracing the footsteps that Messiah will take at His 2nd-Advent. I observed the Eastern Gate that has been walled over, closed and sealed, by Ottoman Sultan Suleiman in 1541AD with the intention of preventing Messiah Jesus from entering the Temple Mount at His return. No doubt, the Muslim cemetery that prevents access to the Eastern Gate is also an Islamist attempt to prevent Messiah’s entrance to the Temple Mount as the Islamist naively believes that no respectable Jewish Rabbi would traverse the grounds of a Muslim cemetery and defile Himself.

What is happening to Israel and the World?

First of all, understand the Islamist enemy of Israel is simply fulfilling prophecy. The hatred for Israel that is pervasive in the Middle East finds its origin in the adulterous sexual interlude between Patriarch Abraham and his servant named Hagar. This adulterous union produced the “wild donkey” of a man named Ishmael.

11 And the angel of the Lord said to her [Hagar],

“Behold, you are pregnant

and shall bear a son.

You shall call his name Ishmael,

because the Lord has listened to your affliction.

12 He shall be a wild donkey of a man,

his hand against everyone

and everyone’s hand against him,

and he shall dwell over against all his kinsmen.” Genesis 16 (ESV) (Emphasis mine)

Ishmael is the father of the Ishmaelites, a virulent enemy of Israel. The Ishmaelites are the progenitors of a 7th-Century demon possessed, nomadic, murdering, pedophile, thief, named Muhammad. Muhammad, in his demonism, plagiarized the Torah to create the Quran as Muhammad desired to proselytize the Jews in Medina with his new “religion” but the Jews and Christians rejected Muhammad which eventually led to the creation of the Islamic Caliphate that butchered via the sword many thousands of Jews and Christians until temporarily stopped in 1929.

The “Allah” of Islam,

The Allah of Islam is Satan masquerading as an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:14) via the Arabic moon god. Islam’s virulent hatred for Israel is demonically rooted and bolstered by Satan’s efforts to eradicate the Jewish people from the face of the Earth via Hitler’s Holocaust which initiated the “Never Again” movement by Holocaust survivors; in response, Israeli leadership initiated the rebirth of the Nation of Israel in 1948 and Israel, in the midst of Satan’s Islamic Empire, continually suffers today from Her demonically possessed and demonically motivated Islamist “neighbors.”

Israel’s struggle today,

Ultimately, what we’re observing today in Israel’s struggle to survive among Satan’s servants is the birth pangs of the Tribulation Era that will involve an alliance between Russia-China-Iran/Islam (an Islamist coalition) v. Jerusalem, Israel and a nuclear war foretold by the Holy Spirit through the major prophets Zechariah, Ezekiel, Isaiah, Daniel, the Apostle John, Messiah Jesus.

The final days of the Tribulation Era will initiate Messiah’s 2nd-Advent and Messiah’s Millennial Kingdom as Jesus, alone, will rescue Israel from Her demonic adversaries and Messiah will be victorious (Revelation 5:5).

The Revelation given the Apostle John by Messiah is a brief overview of a horrific nuclear war that will soon come upon the entire World as the Apostle John, from his isolation on the Island of Patmos in 90AD, makes every attempt to describe 21st-Century battle and sophisticated armament using 1st-Century knowledge and vocabulary.

The Kingdom War in the Realm of Time,

For all intents and purposes, what we’re observing today in Israel is a physical manifestation of the Kingdom War initiated by a rebellious cherub angel before Time began, a Spiritual War that was removed from the Kingdom and placed upon this temporary Earth to be dealt with by Elohim here, apart from the Kingdom and partially constrained by Time and physics…a Spiritual War in which humanity is uniquely and intimately involved.

Jesus told us that as we observe these things coming to pass, we who are redeemed by faith in our Messiah, we are to look up and know that our redemption is drawing near (Luke 21:28-31). MARANATHA!

Do you really believe people go straight to Hell for not believing in Jesus?

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).

Law and Righteousness with the Father v. the insidious foolishness of legalism…

Law and Righteousness (a right standing) with the Father and the persistent, insidious, demonically rooted, foolishness of legalism…

Faith establishes the impotency of the law to save and redeem (Romans 3:31) as the law only defines one’s sin void atonement (Romans 3:20); in fact, the law curses and condemns anyone seeking righteousness through it (Galatians 3:10) as the law demands absolute perfection (James 2:10) and we’re all sinners already condemned by the law (Romans 5:12; Romans 3:23); therefore, anyone who seeks the law to please the Father concerning righteousness is a legalistic fool as they serve the devil, not the Holy Spirit through faith in Messiah Jesus (Galatians 3).

Anyone who desires eternal life, a pardon from the second death in Hell, will NOT attain same through vain attempts to keep a law or a day or a diet or a tradition. If YOU desire eternal life you must first comply with the Father’s will (John 6:29); you must first repent-turn away from your rebelliousness toward the Father’s will for your life and believe-trust in Jesus as your Messiah who died for you (Luke 13:3; John 3). It is ONLY by faith in Jesus that you will enter into New Covenant relationship with the Father through the imputation – gifting of Jesus’ righteousness over your life by faith (John 14:6; 2 Corinthians 5:21). It is only through the New Covenant Gospel that the words of eternal life are clearly and unambiguously articulated and firmly established; this, by grace through faith in Jesus, NOT LAW (John 3; Galatians 2:16).

A righteousness that pleases the Father,

Once you have established New Covenant relationship with the Father through faith in Jesus as your Messiah and received the Holy Spirit as Guarantor of that covenant relationship (Ephesians 1:13-14), it is the indwelling Holy Spirit who methodically walks you in daily sanctification and guides your redeemed conscience (2 Corinthians 5:17) via the law written upon your heart (Romans 2:14-15) to please the Father through the production of fruits of righteousness that actually honor and glorify the Father as opposed to works of self-righteousness through enslavement to letters etched in stone or scratched upon parchment; letters that can never save the soul from death in Hell (Galatians 5; Galatians 2:16; Romans 7:6; Isaiah 64:6).

Theological error existing in Judaism & Islam concerning the origin of law…

A Theological Error emanating from Judaism and other religions that do not impart life… “Law finds its genesis at Sinai with Moses via Torah” “Law finds its genesis with Allah through Muhammad via the Quran” 

The Holy Spirit tells us that where there is no law there is no sin (Romans 4:15; 5:13); therefore, how was Satan judged, adjudicated, convicted of sin i.e. covetousness and extricated from the Kingdom for that sin if the law was initiated at Sinai?

How were the Adamic and Noahic generations judged of defilement worthy of death by water save eight if there was no law prior to Sinai?

How did Elohim differentiate the righteous by faith (Hebrews 11) and the wicked by disobedience (Romans 1:18-32) prior to Sinai lest a form of law existed to provide a differentiation between good and evil?  

There is a theological error that abounds throughout Judaism and other religions that Sinai/Moses or Allah/Muhammad was the genesis of Law when Sinai is NOTHING NEW or novel but simply a fragmented codification of the moral aspects of the law of the Spirit (Romans 8:2; Romans 2:14-15) that has been relevant as an arbiter of free will subsequent the creation of the angels. Sinai, the Law of Moses, was given Israel for sanctification – eschatological purposes and its relevance is but a moment in Time when compared to the eternal spiritual law of the Spirit of life (Romans 8:2). 

Islam’s Allah is Satan masquerading as an angel of light via the Arabic moon god (2 Corinthians 11:14) while Muhammad is a 7th-Century demon-possessed nomadic pedophile, murdering, thief, who plagiarized the Torah to construct the Quran.  

Elohim (Genesis 1:1), the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, IS the origin of Law; this, before Time began.

Concerning the Tanakh and Jewish obsessions with same…

Concerning the Jew, Israelite and Hebrew Roots fanatic that pesters me about the Tanakh and their loyalty to same…

Jesus entered Time through the Tribe of Judah and came to a people under the Law Covenant and made every attempt to redeem those people for the Father’s eschatological plan for Time and Eternity but those people were stubborn and arrogant and clung to the Law through self-righteousness while rejecting faith and belief in their Messiah…the Tanakh failed as did Jacob’s children as are you. The Tanakh is a roadmap, not the destination. You weary me. The Judgment of Messiah against you will be righteous and dreadful.

What does it mean that faith establishes the law?

What does it mean that faith establishes the law?

Romans 3:31 KJV

“Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.”

The Law establishes the need for “faith” as the KEY element of salvation; that is, the initiation of New Covenant relationship with the Father, as the law demands absolute perfection (James 2:10) if righteousness (a right standing) with the Father is to be attained through law-keeping – BUT – there is a very relevant problem, all of humanity is under the curse of sin (Romans 5:12; Romans 3:23); therefore, humanity has already violated the law; therefore, the law curses anyone seeking righteousness through obedience to it (Galatians 3:10); fortunately, the Father did for us what we could not do for ourselves through vain attempts to keep the law; that is, the Father commissioned the Son, Jesus Christ, to enter the Realm of Time born of the virgin seed thereby bypassing the sin-nature of Adam; therefore, Jesus walked in sinless perfection before the Father and in doing so, Jesus fulfilled every jot and tittle of the law’s moral mandates and through His sinless perfection, Jesus made Himself the spotless Lamb of Elohim who takes away the sin of the World (John 1:29-32; 1 Peter 1:18-19; 1 John 2:2) as Jesus provided you and me acceptable blood atonement for our sin as mandated by Leviticus 17:11; therefore, anyone who believes in Jesus by “faith” in Him as their Messiah who died for them (John 3; Romans 10:9-10), that person so believing receives the indwelling Holy Spirit as Guarantor of Covenant with the Father (Ephesians 1:13-14) and that person is declared “not guilty” by covenant promise (Hebrews 8:12); this, by faith in Jesus as Messiah which is something the law could never do as the law is weakened by the sin-nature (Romans 8:1-6).

Faith establishes the impotency of the law to save (Romans 8 ) and faith establishes the truism that no one is justified through law as law simply defines sin but provides no form of acceptable atonement (Romans 3:20); therefore, the Father’s standard for righteousness (a right standing) with Him is absolute perfection (James 2:10) and that perfection can only manifest in our life via the imputation-gifting of Jesus’ righteousness over our life by FAITH (2 Corinthians 5:21); therefore, the law has become a tutor to point us to our need for Jesus by faith (Galatians 3:24-25); therefore, we walk by the Spirit, we serve through the Spirit by faith and not in oldness of the letter (Galatians 5; Romans 7:6).

So God did what the law could not do. He sent his own Son in a body like the bodies we sinners have. And in that body God declared an end to sin’s control over us by giving his Son as a sacrifice for our sins. 4 He did this so that the just requirement of the law would be fully satisfied for us, who no longer follow our sinful nature but instead follow the Spirit.

In the Beginning God – Why?

 

 

in-the-beginning

In the Beginning, God – Why?

Causation for our entire creation is founded-rooted solely in Elohim’s response to a rebellious cherub angel and those who followed that angel in the Great War manifest in the Kingdom…a war that Elohim elected to remove from the Kingdom and place upon a temporary Earth to be dealt with apart from the Kingdom, a spiritual war partially constrained by Time and physics, thereby minimizing further defilement of purity and holiness, Elohim’s Kingdom where nothing impure is permitted to exist (Revelation 12; Ezekiel 28:11+; Isaiah 14; Luke 10:18; Luke 8:44; Ephesians 6; Revelation 21:27; John 18:36).

This spiritual war having manifest in the Kingdom is why the first created spiritual character introduced in the creation narrative is Satan, the old Serpent that deceives the whole World (Revelation 12:9; John 8:44) and this is why war between the Serpent and the Son, a Son manifesting from the seed of the woman, is declared in Genesis 3:15 and why the Gospel, as a divine battle strategy, is first pictured in Genesis 3:21 (redemption through the shedding of innocent blood and a robe of imputed righteousness denying the works of man’s hands relevant to righteousness, a right standing, with Elohim) and this is why the Adamic and Noahic generations were judged and eradicated due to satanic possession-influence thwarting Elohim’s eschatological plan and this is why Elohim began anew with Noah and set-apart a people group we know as Israel and this is why Messiah manifest in Time through Judah; specifically, “to destroy the works of the devil” via a battle strategy known as “The Gospel,” a battle strategy that was ordained “before Time began” (1 John 3:8b; 2 Timothy 1:8-10).

Therefore, had Satan not rebelled and introduced sin into the Kingdom, there would be no reason for Elohim to have created a physical realm, suffered a potentially rebellious and defiled human genome (Genesis 6) and there would be no reason that Elohim would have manifest in flesh and suffered and died in the presence of the faithful angelic creation simply to restore order and holiness and peace and dignity to His Kingdom. One of mankind’s greatest errors is a failure to recognize our “reason for being” and the very temporary nature of our existence in Time and Elohim’s eschatological purposes for same.
