After the Tribulation, Connecting the Testaments

In the Gospel of Matthew, the now famous chapter twenty-four, verses 29-31, Y'shua tells us:

“And immediately after the tribulation of those days, 

‘the sun will be darkened 

and the moon will not give its light, 

and the stars will fall from heaven, 

and the powers of heaven will be shaken.’

And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man arriving on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect together from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other end of it.


Was Yeshua (Jesus) making a new claim, or reinforcing an old Israelite hope?
What did the Rabbi Shaul (aka apostle Paul), teach?  

We see in a letter to the believers in Thessalonica:

"For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout of command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who remain, will be snatched away at the same time together with them in the clouds for a meeting with the Lord in the air, and thus we will be together with the Lord always." 1 Thess. 4:16-17


Zechariah 8:2-8 ² "Thus says the LORD of hosts, 'I am exceedingly jealous for Zion, yes, with great wrath I am jealous for her.' ³ "Thus says the LORD, 'I will return to Zion and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. Then Jerusalem will be called the City of Truth, and the mountain of the LORD of hosts will be called the Holy Mountain.' ⁴ "Thus says the LORD of hosts, 'Old men and old women will again sit in the streets of Jerusalem, each man with his staff in his hand because of age. ⁵ 'And the streets of the city will be filled with boys and girls playing in its streets.' ⁶ "Thus says the LORD of hosts, 'If it is too difficult in the sight of the remnant of this people in those days, will it also be too difficult in My sight?' declares the LORD of hosts. ⁷ "Thus says the LORD of hosts, 'Behold, I am going to save My people from the land of the east and from the land of the west; ⁸ and I will bring them back and they will live in the midst of Jerusalem; and they shall be My people, and I will be their God in truth and righteousness.'


So we see, reading our Bibles contextually, that Y'shua did come to fulfill the Messianic hope.  He is both Messiah ben Josef, and Messiah ben David, still to come in glory and conquering power!  The Protestant and Catholic churches have been steeped in the tradition of men for so long that there is a difference, a separation between the first and the Renewed Covenant (Jer. 31:31-33), that for many, the Old Testament is not a serious object of inquiry (to their own destruction).


But in truth, the Bible contextually has one theme throughout, and Yeshua came to restore the lost ten tribes (Mat. 15:25, 10:6), to reunify the tribes of Israel (Ezekiel 36:22-28)) under Torah (Zech. 14:16: Is. 2:3; Mic. 4:2).


The Gentile Church is not a separate people from the Jews, nor should it be.  Any simple student of history can verify that Sunday observance by the Church shifted formally under the reign of Constantine.  The early church kept Sabbath, observed Yahweh's feasts (Lev. 23) and observed the teaching of the clean and the unclean.  Who the Gentiles are... is that they are now the prophetic fulfillment of Ephraim, who was prophesied by our father Jacob to be the "fullness of the Gentiles" (Gen. 48:19).  As the one who received the blessing of the firstborn (along with Judah), Ephraim was also known as the head of the ten northern tribes (the "lost tribes").


This is why, Jeremiah tells us, the New Covenant (Jer. 31:31-33) is for the house of Israel and the house of Judah (no one else is named).  But the tribes were to be dispersed through all the world and mixed with all the peoples (Hos. 8:7) so that they could be brought back in to Covenant with Yhwh, and walk in His commandments (1 John 2:6).


Y'shua lived a sinless life, by walking according to the words of life, Torah (Deut. 30:15,16).  All who follow Him are commanded to walk as He walked (1 John 2:6).

An Instance of Yeshua (Jesus) Teaching Torah

In the Gospels, if we read it with our eyes open, we can see clearly that Yeshua taught/clarified and explained Torah.  Here, in Jn. 7, during the Feast of Sukkot (Booths), Yeshua begins teaching mid-way through the feast.

"Now when the feast was already half over, Jesus went to the temple courts* and began to teach.* Then the Jews were astonished, saying, “How does this man possess knowledge, because he* has not been taught?” So Jesus answered them and said, “My teaching is not mine, but is from the one who sent me. If anyone wants to do his will, he will know about my* teaching, whether it is from God or I am speaking from myself."

The Jews were clearly impressed and amazed at his teaching.  He was not teaching to do away with the Law (Torah), otherwise they would have torn their clothes and decried him a blasphemer.  But this is not what happened (Jn. 7:19-24).

We are not told all of what Yeshua taught here, though we are given a glimpse of some ( vv. 19-24), exhorting the Jews to follow Moses and KEEP Torah!  All His teaching had a point, we can safely assume it had something to do with the feast of Sukkot, and His role in fulfilling it (c.f.. Matt. 5:17-19).  The Apostle John points out in the beginning of his Gospel account, that the incarnated Torah (Word of God) became flesh and tabernacle (or "sukkahed") among us (Jn. 1:14).

"Now on the last day of the feast—the great day—Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me, and let him drink, the one who believes in me. Just as the scripture said, ‘Out of his belly will flow rivers of living water.’ ” Now he said this concerning the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were about to receive. For the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.)"

We see here that indeed Yeshua was teaching on how He is the substance of what the feast is pointing to.  He's not saying "Quit keeping the feast," but explaining how He is the fulfillment (Mt. 5:17).

Yeshua taught we are to keep His commandments, and the word (of His time, he did not supercede it, He WAS it) commands we observe Yhwh's feasts (Lev. 23; Mt. 5:17-19).

For the Devil So Loved the Nephilim...

This post was made back in 2013, and it was a popular read.  I think it is  a good, missed insight in the Church today, so I thought I'd repost it for you readers.  Shalom to you in the name of Yeshua!

****

While I was reading in the Bible in 1 Chronicles, and the Yhwh gave me an insight which I've never heard anyone point out before... but it's because the majority of U.S. preachers do not accept the reality of the Nephilim, the human-angel-animal-plant hybrids, so their Biblical worldview does not allow them to see it.  And it's not their fault... They were raised like the rest of us, in the 20th century scientific enlightenment worldview that largely rejects supernaturalism.  This is also what much of the signers of the American Declaration of Independence were, but that's an entirely different work, to which Chris Pinto has done an outstanding job with, if you're not already familiar with him and his Noise of Thunder radio program.

1st Chronicles ch. 20 is a most interesting chapter.  It tells of encounters the post-settlement Israeli army under king David had with the giants, the Nephilim, or, descendants of Anak.  The first account is of Joab leading the army into Battle against the sons of Ammon.  Now not much is said here to indicate anything strange, until we read that David took the king's crown, which weighed one talent of gold.  We're like, okay, cool.  It was a heavy gold crown.  I can totally see that.  But the Scofield Ref. bible, (which I was using the other day) translates the measurement of this unit to be 76 lbs!!!  :-O  I said!  You just don't wear a 76 lb. object around on your head everyday, unless you have really thick neck muscles!  But this could be easily explained if he were Nephilim, which many of the people groups descended from Ham and Canaan, which lived in the region were (Gen.9:25-26; 10:15).

Next in the chapter we are told about a giant, when the Jews battled the Philistines in Gezer, named Sippai, who was a descendant of Rapha, or the Raphaim (1 Chron. 20:4).  In v. 5, we're told there was another war with the Philistines, where Elhanan killed Lahmi, the brother of the the infamous giant Goliath (1 Chron. 20:5)!

Verse 6 tells us of a man of great stature, who had a total of 24 fingers and toes (1 Chron. 20:6).  It seems that many of the skeletons which were unearthed and many spirited away, reportedly had such features.  This giant was put to death by David's nephew, Shimea.  So all of these descendants of Anak, which Joshua had not entirely wiped out (Joshua 11:22), were finally dealt with.  The text doesn't tell us that the giants were totally wiped out, only that these mentioned were killed.  From evidential remains found around the globe, the activity on the fallen angels to deceive humanity was taking place on a global scale.  There are many sites that are exposing these facts, and they are asking questions, where are the remains at?  Why have they been kept out of the public's eye?  What purpose would the government have in withholding this sort of information?

The Bible gives us the explanation for that too.  It tells us that in the last days there will be a great deception on the earth so powerful that even the very elect would be deceived, if that were possible (evidently, it sort of sounds like it is ~ Mt. 24:24; Mk 13:22; 2 Thess. 2:3)!  But I think what Jesus and Paul are teaching here is that it will be very powerful, very deceptive, and the seeming "Christians" will be taken in by it, but not those truly called to salvation (2 Thess. 2:10-11).  But certainly, by those verses, those who do not know Jesus and His life-transforming/redeeming power will be given to the deception coming on the world.

But here's where the scriptural insight came.  Just when the Israelites have been wiping out the remaining giants living in the land of Israel, the children of the gods (the fallen angels), Satan has taken notice and come to put a stop to it, and attack King David!

1 Chronicles 21:1  Then Satan stood up against Israel and moved David to number Israel. (emphasis mine)

So you see, the chosen people of Yhwh had been destroying whom I believe you can demonstrate scripturally are the seed of the serpent.  And while that curse (Gen. 3:15) ultimately is fulfilled in the individual seeds of Christ and the Anti-Christ, I think it is also played out in a larger scale between the children of Adam and Eve and the fallen archangel Lucifer.  And as the people of Yahweh God are killing the human-angle hybrids, the fallen angels wanted vengeance for their off spring being killed.

Surprising Insights on the Gospel from "Christmas" Prophecies Taken In Context

It cracks me up how hypocritical we are in the Church, yet, it is so sad!  Hypocritical that is, about properly interpreting the scriptures (i.e. exegeting the scriptures) only when it suits our denominational interests.  Don't get me wrong.  I think and believe that there are many godly people out there who delight in Yhwh's word, and seek to follow Him and live in obedience to the scriptures... but our entire theological outlook is all discombobulated, that's a good word for it!

The other morning I was reading in the book of Isaiah, chapters 7-11, and it was a good refresher, having forgotten a number of good verses that are found in this section of chapters.  In chapters seven and nine, these contain some very famous and well known Messianic prophecies oft quoted by Protestants and Christians around Christmas time.

Is. 7: 14 Therefore the Lord himself will give youf a sign. Look! the virging is with child and she is about to give birth to a son, and she shall call his name ‘God with us.’ 

Is. 9:6 For a child has been born for us;

a son has been given to us.

And the dominion will be on his shoulder,

and his name is called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,

Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

7 ⌊His dominion will grow continually,

and to peace there will be no end⌋h

oni the throne of David and overj his kingdom,

to establish itk and sustain it

with justice and righteousness

now and forever.

The zeal of Yahweh of hosts will do this.

These Messianic prophecies, foretelling the coming of Messiah Yeshua are indeedi incredible and powerful prophecies fulfilled by (and to be fulfilled) Yeshua the Messiah.  These are oft quoted, laminated, put on posters, web pages, books, Sunday school materials... but then we don't look into the context of which the verse is foiund... or we do, and miss the context, because we miss the distinction of the two houses of Israel!

And this is one reason why Protestant Christians' theology is so messed up!  This is why so many believe there will be a Pre-Trib Rapture, is because they see the Church as being separate from the Jews (or/and, having replace the Jews in God's plan, a sublte form of anti-semitism), never mind that the Church began as being completely Jewish, but then being overwhelmed later by the mass number of Gentile believers.  And contrary to the clear teaching in the Newer Testament (Brit Chadashah), that the Gentile believers are ingrafted into the tree of Israel, and their root supports us, the Gentile Church!  In fact, Rabbi Paul uses some rather strong language to warn us against having such arrogant thoughts as replacing the Jewish church (Rom. 11:17-24)!

But when one begins to read the passages in Isaiah, keeping in mind the eventual dispersion of the ten northern tribes of Israel (circa 722 B.C.), and noting that most of the prophets, in the Tanakh (Old Testament), are prophesying during the time shortly before, or shortly after (relatively speaking), the dispersion of the ten tribes into the nations, where they no longer kept Torah and were mixed with the Gentile inhabitants wherever they went, thus fulfilling Yhwh's promise to Abraham:

Gen. 17:5 Your name shall no longer be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham, for I will make you the father of a multitude of nations. 6 And I will make you ⌊exceedingly⌋f fruitful. I will make you a nation, and kings shall go out from you. 7 And I will establish my covenant between me and you, and between your offspring after you, throughout their generations as an everlasting covenant to be as God for you and to your offspring after you. 8 And I will give to you and to your offspring after you ⌊the land in which you are living as an alien⌋,g all the land of Canaan, as an everlasting property. And I will be to them as God.”

Many times, we see the beginning of chapter 9 quoted ":2 The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; light has shined on those who lived in a land of darkness."  But the verse is often cut off from the preceding verse, alienating it from its context, or, not having the context left or explained.  "In former times hec treated the land of Zebulun and Naphtali with contempt, but in the future he will honor the way of the sea beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations."

Zebulun and Naphtali were tribal regions in northern Israel, which along with the other eight northern tribes, were eventually conquered by Assyria and deported to Gimera, in Assyria, coming to be known as Gimeroi, or Cimmerians, later on as they begin their migrations.  The ten northern tribes were given into the hands of the king of Assyria by Yhwh, because they did not keep His word.  (If you have not begun, the migration of the "lost tribes" of Israel makes a fascinating study, and believe it or not, there is quite a bit of info about it!*)

This is what makes the Messianic prophecies in Isaiah 9:6-7 so powerful!  We westerners in the Church do not fully understand the meaning of all that we read, and thus end up neglecting much of the theological import.  The verses speaking of the rule of Messiah, and of the increase of His government, but that's where we stop.  But the verse continues... 

oni the throne of David and overj his kingdom,

to establish itk and sustain it

with justice and righteousness

now and forever.

The zeal of Yahweh of hosts will do this.

These prophecies foretell the coming rule of the Messiah ruling on the "throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it and sustain it (David's kingdom), the restoration and fullness of the kingdom of all Israel... not just the Jews (the southern tribe, Judah).

In Isaiah ch. 10, it contains some prophecies yet to be realized for the restoration of both houses of Israel (the house of the northern ten tribes, called Israel, and the house of Judah), which has significant import for us to know and understand today.  

20 And this shall happen: on that day, the remnant of Israel and the survivorsq of the house of Jacob will not continue to lean on the one who struck it

but will lean on Yahweh, the holy one of Israel, in truth.

21 A remnant will return—

the remnant of Jacob—to the mighty God.

22 For though your people Israel was like the sand of the sea,

only a remnant of it will return.

Annihilation is determined,

overflowing with righteousness.

23 For the Lord Yahweh of hosts is about to make a complete destruction

and a determined end in the midst of all the earth.

Rough times are upon us, and the are foretold in the pages of scripture.  I don't want you to be on the wrong side, or supporting the wrong group.  False teachers abound today, wolves in sheeps' clothing!  Knowing Yahweh's word is all that will protect you and guide you into coming kingdom of the Real New Age.  Yeshua already told us that the supposed "New Age" being brought about by the "rulers" of this world will be like "the days of Noah" (Mt. 24:37).  So we see it is not a "new" age being brought about, but an old one, which existed before the Flood.

Yeshua said to the Jews who had believed in him, "if you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth ad the truth will set you free." (John 8:32)

Having Your Blessed Life Now!

Much controversy has sprung from Joel Osteen's book, "How to Have Your Best Life Now!"  But believe it or not, the Bible actually does tell you how to have your blessed life now!  Right here, in the last times, with the coming of the pseudo-Christ and the worst period of deceit and persecution in human history, that we are warned about in the pages of the most Holy Book, the Bible.

The Bible is full of pages of scriptures where the Hebrew Prophets, Psalmists and Apostles tell us that we can have our blessed life now!  Now, note, I didn't say "best life," but rather "blessed life," and I think that your blessed life is quite possibly the best life you can have.

One example that I want to use from the pages of scripture is from the very first chapter of the Psalms.  The Psalmist tells us:

Blessed is the man who does not walk in the advice of the wicked;

nor does he stand in the way of sinners;

nor does he sit in the assembly of mockers.

2 Instead, in the law of Yahweh is his delight,

and on his law he meditates day and night.

Here you have it. It really doesn't get any simpler than this. How can you have your blessed life in a world that is filled with persecution, anti-Semitism, trans-humanism, invasion of demons who were let loose after being bound for 70 generations? How can you have your blessed life living among nations where there is a growing consensus against Judeo-Christian values, where the Church looks and sounds like the world, the number of demon-possession cases is on the rise?


The Psalmist tells us that the have to have your blessed life now, is "to come out from them and be separate!" Not to walk in the advice of the wicked, or to stand in the way of sinners, or even sit in the assembly of mockers, but to DELIGHT yourself in the TORAH of YHWH, to meditate on it day and night! 


And so here you have it!  It's really a quite simple concept.  But it's something that Christians have been taught (at least the last century) that "We are free from the Torah!", and thus doing away with the foundation and support for the B'rit Chadasha (aka New Testament).

And if we DO do this, we meditate (think about or on) the Torah (first five books of the Bible), the Psalmist goes on to tell us what our life is going to look like.

3 And so, he is like a tree planted by streams of water

that gives its fruit in its season;

its leaf also does not wither.

Therefore all that he does prospers.

And this is how you can have your Blessed life Now!



The Apostasy - Millenia old?

 2 Thess. 2:3 Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction,4 who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God. [from www.biblegateway.com]

The great apostasy, which Rabbi Paul told us would happen before the coming of the Torah-less one! You say, "Chris, you are being so extreme calling the Antichrist the Torah-less one!"  Am I?  In English Bibles, the word translated to denote God's revelation of His ways and His character to man was translated as Law in the English language, to convey the depth and overarching supremacy of Yhwh's commands and their reach within and throughout creation.

But today that meaning has been lost.  In our lands of laws and rights, or lack thereof, we have come to see the Biblical word Law in a negative light, and so much so that a key Christians motto is "Christ has set me free from the Law!"  Let me suggest that the reason this is so is because Christians were separated from the Jews and therefore no longer understand the context of the Biblical authors in which they wrote.  The Biblical authors, inspired by the Holy Spirit, wrote out of a Hebraic theological context.

So many of us, who discuss the importance of interpreting scripture "in context" and "knowing the context" are missing the very deepest, and first and foremost context of all, the Hebraic worldview of the children of Abraham!  

 This issue is of first relevance when we come to the description of the arch-rebel against Yhwh, who has been working throughout all of human history to create an army of rebels, and destroy the Elohim's creation, and steal his praise (Is. 14:13-14).  Rabbi Paul describes him as the (as conveyed in the English text) the "lawless one."  I already dealt with this in a previous post.  To the mind of a Jewish rabbi (a "Hebrew of Hebrews" Phil. 3:5), certainly this meant "Torah-less one"  that is, one without and opposed to the revealed will of Yhwh Elohim.  

Now today the church says, "I am not under the Torah!  I have been set free from the Torah!"  Is this not the spirit of the Antichrist already, the son of perdition?  So we see that the spirit of the Antichrist is already in the Church, and most of "the Church" is ready for , and indeed, already under, the great deception!

So this brings us to the title of our post.  The apostasy, the great falling away... did it recently begin historically, as America banned bibles from school in the 60s, and the country saw a massive increase in sexual immorality and crime?  Or did it begin with the advent of human science ('knowledge'), discovering all it could learn about reality apart from the revealed will of the Creator?  Or did it begin, and this is what I think, when Christians were separated from their Jewish brethren in Messiah, and from the tribes and customs of the teachings of the Torah?

For what is the greata falling away supposed to mean?  Falling away from the ways of Yahweh, and from sound doctrine?  In the minds of the Hebrew authors of scripture, what denotes sound doctrine (2 Tim. 4:3)?  The Tanakh, the Torah.  

2 Tim. 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, (emphasis mine)

This is the Bible Adonai Yeshua used.  And again, He affirms it in John 17:17 when He says, "Yhwh, sanctify them by Your truth, Your Word is Truth."  

As Christians, followers of Messiah, we find ourselves in a bind.  We claim to follow the Truth, the person of Messiah Yeshua, who claims to be the Word in the flesh (Jn. 1:14), but yet we also claim to be free of the "Law," the Torah, found in the Tanakh, which Yeshua believed to be the Truth!  And what part of scripture is most often contested and rejected or so poorly taught in Christian churches today?  It's what Christians know as the Old Testament, which is really the Former Testament, or Covenant (that's still very much in force and validity, except where Messiah satisfied its requirements for our justification (Rom. 3:23-25).

So I propose, the great falling away did not begin only recently historically, but began ages ago... as the apostle John said: 1 John 2:18 Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have appeared; from this we know that it is the last hour. 

Go back, and read your Bibles anew with this new understanding, that Yeshua came to reveal to us the Tanakh, and the Torah (the instruction)!  We were not set free from Elohim's instruction (His Torah), but only from the curse of the Torah (for disobedience, the torah of sin and death).  Apply this understanding to your Bible study, and you will find a whole NEW BIBLE, one you have most likely never seen before!!!

The Lawless One - His true Character

All of us have an idea in our head about the Lawless One, mentioned in the Bible as coming in the last days, setting up his world-wide empire to rule.  But is he really Lawless, in the modern sense of the word?  Is he going to be this Anarchist Anton Levay look-alike with horns on his head?  Probably not.

But isn't that the meaning of the word, "Lawless", i.e., without Law?  Sure, in the modern English venacular.  But is that really what the Bible is telling us?  In scripture, the word Law had a deep and rich heritage, being translated from the Hebrew word Torah, which was that great and lofty revelation given to Moses by God on Mt. Sinai via angels.

In fact, from some of the things that the Bible tells us concerning the Lawless One, we conclude that he is really not all that lawless of a guy.  In fact, Confirming a 7 year peace treaty (Dan. 9:27), being the leader of three regional world empires and controlling armies (Dan. 7:20-21) and the world economic system of the last days (Rev. 13:17).  Revelation tells us that he will require everyone who is on the earth to take the mark of his name, or be put to death by beheading (guillotines?) (Rev. 13:16,17).

Many Bible prophecy "experts" think the end is near, but still believe its 15-20 years down the road.  I think it is much closer, even before the year is out!  My fate is with the LORD, Most High, and He laughs at the powers that be (Ps. 2)!  Many (all) who are reading this blog will see these things come to pass.  Now I'm not one to try and propagate fear.  That is the evil one's agenda, and how he has been passing his legislation, and setting armies in place, through fear, and in the name of safety!

So from what scripture tells us of the Lawless One, he doesn't really sound that lawless.  In fact, using secular language, I think he is going to be a little overly lawful, oppressive, to carry out Satan's destructive scheme, to turn Yhwh's Creation into his own mutant, hybrid creation, bowing in worship to him instead of to the only true God!

The Lawless One, described in scripture is indeed not lawless, as most English Bibles spell out, but rather, he is Torah-less, as our churches have been since the fourth century A.D. anyway.  Was that the great deception, the great falling away?

The Law Filled Full

PITN: UFO Deception

We must grasp what is happening around us today, if we are to understand the reality of these end times.  In the word of the Almighty, whose words were divinely superintended by Him, we are told:  "That which is has been already and that which will be has already been, for God seeks what has passed by." Ecclesiastes 3:15



These strange beings, reptilians, shapeshifters, giants, etc., all were here before the flood and after (Gen. 6:2-4).  As the historical book of Jasher reports:  18 And their judges and rulers [aka: Watchers, Fallen Angels, Titans, gods] went to the daughters of men and took their wives by force from their husbands according to their choice, and the sons of men in those days took from the cattle of the earth, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the air, and taught the mixture of animals of one species with the other, in order therewith to provoke the Lord; and God saw the whole earth and it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted its ways upon earth, all men and all animals.



As pastor Gary and pastor Gary report, these beings are aboutto pull off trhe deception of the ages... and Yhwh's word tells us that all who did not believe the Truth (about Messiah Yeshua who was crucified and raised for the forgiveness of our sins and the reconciliation of Creation Rom. 3:25; Heb. 2:17; 1 Jn. 4:10) will be given over to the delusion (i.e. the lie). (2 Thess. 2:11-12).



Only those who cry out to Yeshua (Jesus Christ) in faith (belief) in repentance (sorrow and turning away) for the forgiveness of sins, will find forgiveness from the almighty, and new life in the Messiah!  And you shall be saved from the coming destruction that is to be poured out in judgement upon all the earth from the Most High.



Acts 3:19  19 "Therefore repent and return, so that your sins may be wiped away, in order that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord;



Revelation 3:10   10 'Because you have kept the word of My perseverance, I also will keep you from the hour of testing, that hour which is about to come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.



Romans 10:11-13  For the Scripture says, "WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED."  12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, abounding in riches for all who call on Him;  13 for "WHOEVER WILL CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED."

Nine Tiny, Unopened Dead Sea Scrolls Found In Israel Antiquities!

Could the reason these scrolls were not "discovered" until 2014, is that they are going to play a role in the great deception, and the apostasy that will overtake the world???  Stay alert.

The 'Son of God, Catholics, Protestants, and the New Age

With the new movie that was just released, 'The Son of God,' I have noticed a few things that make me concerned.  Now I have not seen the movie itself, and would like to.   It's not that I don't think we shouldn't have a movie depicting the life of Messiah... and I know Roma Downey and Mark Burnett's vision and desire to create this epic.  I say praise God for their desire to get this move, as far as it's a re-creation of the Biblical true-story account of Yeshua.

When I was serving in missions in Africa, the missionaries I was visiting had a time when the showed 'The Jesus Film' to the people group they were working with.  Of course the missionaries had been there for over a year, and others before them, teaching them the word of God and stories of the bible, using the method of Biblical 'storytelling,' where the stories are memorized and taught to the pre-literate tribes.  But on this occasion, The Jesus Film was shown to the people, and after the people saw it, many decided to ask Yeshua into their heart and began a new life in Yeshua (2 Cor. 5:17; Jn. 3:3).  

One danger that I see with the movie, not having seen it, is that they are usually made through Gentile eyes, with less emphasis and detail on the Jewish Feasts that are so integral to Jewish Life (framed by the Creator Himself) and the coming of Messiah.  We Gentiles miss the significance and much of the miraculous aspects of the feasts, an their fulfillment.

Another thing that concerns me concerning the film, is the ecumenical support that was given to it.  At my work their is a TV in the corner, and I saw a commercial about the upcoming movie, and it featured many Catholic Fathers and some Protestant Celebrities such as Joel Osteen, Rick Warren... and I can't recall now if who else it featured.  But this alone was alarming.  The Catholic Church pronounced Anathemas against all wjho believed that we are saved by grace through faith, apart from any meritorious works of our own (Eph. 2:8-9; Titus 3:5).  The Catholic church' s position is that that teaching, of salvation by grace through faith, apart from self-works of righteousness, is Anathema!  The Mormons teach a very similar belief, and that is what sets Biblical Christianity apart from all other religions, the Bible teaches that one is saved by faith in the crucified and resurrected Jewish Messiah when one turns from their sin and to Yeshua in faith for salvation and everlasting life (Rom. 10:9-10).

How then can Protestant Pastors and Catholics come together on this?  And these particular Pastors mentioned are false teachers... and they should be recognized as that.  Joel Osteen is much like the Pope... "who am I to judge someone's sin?"  Well, you're a pastor aren't you?  At the very least, you should guide the people into finding out what the Bible teaches about sinful lifestyles and behaviors (lust, fornication, adultery, murder, homosexuality, magic, witch craft, Gal. 5:19-21; 1 Cor. 6:9-10), and leading them to repent and place their faith in Messiah Yeshua.

Rick Warren uses business growth models to grow his churches... and many undiscerning pastors who translate big numbers as "success" and blessing from God have adopted his methodologies... resulting in the leading astray of many in the church, the focus of the Church on Man-centered methodologies, instead of believeing that by simply focusing on relationship with God, and serving one another, living a Spirit-filled life, that God adds to the numbers (Acts 2:46-47).

Examining these crucial differences in belief on salvation, it is apparent that Catholics and true Protestant Pastors CAN NOT come together in a theological work/teaching for the populace.  And this is part of what makes me nervous.  The Pope has reached out to Pentecostals, and to Kenneth Copeland to "come togther."  Never mind any renouncing of anathemas!  This concerns me because their is a push for merging the world religions, of bringing unity... that is, with all but one group, the Protestant Evangelicals, or as they might otherwise be called, Truth Activists, or the Anti-Hypocrisists, or the Anti-Sin party, if the liberal media were to introduce a new term to demonize us, or "spin" the truth... but actually, it will probably be something like the Anti-humanists, or the Anti-Peace or Anti-Unity or Anti-Globalists.

Christians are taught in God's word to love those who hate them, and to pray for those who persecute them (Mt. 5:44).  But all those who are of the god of this world (2 Cor.4:4) will seek to demonize, to accuse those whom they hate.  This is very much the tactic of the Satan, as Yeshua explains:

John 8:44

You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from thebeginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

The time of the New Age is on us, and truly, it is not a NEW AGE, but an old one, that existed before the days of the Global flood, through which only Noah and Seven others were saved (2 Peter 2:5), to which Hitler pursued to bring back, as did Nimrod/Gilgamesh when he built the Tower of Babel (Gen. 10:8-12, 11:1-9).

Ultimately, we will see how this movie portrays the Son of God, as revealed in the Bible, God's inspired, revealed truth (2 Tim. 3:16-17).  Will it be the same, to the praise and glory of God, a sweet offering offered up, or will it be a tool used in the hands of the evil one (1 Jn. 5:19), to accomplish his ends?  Let us not be naiive!

And so, with the closing words of John, from his first epistle:

18 We know that no one who is [o]born of God sins; but He who was [p]born of God keeps him, and the evil one does not touch him. 19 We know that we are of God, and that the whole world lies in the power of the evil one. 20 And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding so that we may know Him who is true; and weare in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.

21 Little children, guard yourselves from idols.

Come on Pat, Don't Be Ridiculous!!!

Recently, Ken Ham of the Back to Genesis Creation Institute held a debate with Brian Nye the science guy.  Afterwards Pat Robertson criticized Ham, who through years of study, has used science to demonstrate how in fact it does support a literal 6-day creation and 6,000 year old timeline.

Robertson argued that there’s too much scientific evidence in the world to assert the world is thousands, and not billions, of years old. He said, “To say that it all came about in 6000 years is just nonsense, and I think it’s time we come off of that stuff and say this is impossible.”

He implored fellow believers in God, “Let’s be real, let’s not make a joke of ourselves.” Robertson made it clear he still doesn’t believe in “so-called evolution,” but it doesn’t shake his faith one bit to have “progressive evolution” under the control of God.

Pat, what you have just done is drawn a line buddy in the Evangelical camp.  There is a great "scientific deception" (i.e., creation by E.T.s on big UFOs), and you have just given those who don't believe God's word is literally true, the green light to attack Christ-followers who do!  Even God, the founder of our faith, incarnated as Yeshua ben Josef, said, "Your Word (i.e. the Jewish Tanakh) is truth" (Jn. 17:17)

Pat has come out and shown His true colors!  He does not believe in a literal six-day creation, but rather a (non-scientific) belief in punctuated evolution where God steps in a points and directs our evolution!  Pat... in all your profound wisdom, you have set yourself up to agree with the "Aliens" of the occultic History Channel's  Ancient Aliens!  They claim to BE OUR CREATORS!  They teach, through the likes of so-called Ancient-Astronaut "experts," that they planted our seed on this planet, and stepped in at various times throughout human history/evolution to "direct our evolution."

You have opened the trap door for all the Christians and "Christians" who follow you to fall into Satan's age-old deception coming on the earth!  Way to go!

Yes, Pat's comments have got me hot!  Millions of believers done through time have given their lives in defense of God's literal word, and belief in it.  In just a couple of minutes you undermined and cast scorn on all of the Protestant Reformers and have aligned yourself with the Apostate Whore of Rome, which thinks it can change the eternal, unchangeable Word of God!

Now, let's look at some of the Biblical reasons what you said is beyond Ridiculous Pat!  First off, what is Science?  Science is the Latin term for knowledge, which begs the question, "Who's knowledge?"  Well, mankind's.  Based on Men's observation of nature and the laws through which it operates.  

The supposed scientific "enlightenment" came about when men (no longer enslaved to the spirits behind trees and rocks and nature) realized that they could learn and discover facts about the world around them through the study and observation of nature.  This is still true today.

What is knowledge?  Things that we can know.  Scripture tells us that the beginning of knowledge is the fear of the Lord (Prov. 1:7).  Modern academic Science, taught in our schools to our children, operates apart from (that is, starts without) a belief in or knowledge of the God of the Bible.  "Science", or "man's knowledge" has led to be one of the greatest stumbling blocks to faith in Creation and Christianity, this salvation.  The Apostle Paul tells us that "knowledge makes arrogant (puffs up) while love (agape, based on God's True revelation) builds up!

Evolution, punctuated or not, teaches that life developed (though the scientific law of Entropy totally refutes Macro-Evolution) through billions of years of suffering and death, while God's revelation teaches that Man was created by God on the sixth literal, 24 hour day of creation, and that death and suffering were no where to be found, until Eve was deceived by that  crafty Quetzl-Coatl, Lucifer, who deceived her by appealing to the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the boastful pride of life (Gen. 3:1-6; 1 John 2:16)

The Bible says that the Wages of Sin is Death (Rom. 3:23)!  Sin and suffering were not part of God's creation! That would mean that God created a world that was filled with death, suffering, abortive evolutionary attempts and violence for millions (or billions, depending on whose guessing scale of measure you use) of years.  That is not compatible with a Biblical Faith Pat!  You need to check yourself!  You are worshiping an edifice of Man, and not the God of the Bible!

Not only that... if that is not enough, it also informs knowledgeable people of faith in Romans 5:12:

 through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned—

Not only that, but Yeshua Himself believed in a literal 6 day creation and a literal Adam and Eve who were IN THE BEGINNING!  (Mk. 10:7-9).  You have the genealogy of the GOSPEL of Luke, which teaches a literal YOUNG-EARTH, 6,000 year record (Luke 3:38).  

Romans 5:14

Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who had not sinned in the likeness of the offense of Adam, who is a type of Him who was to come.

1 Corinthians 15:22

For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive.

1 Corinthians 15:45

So also it is written, “The first man, Adam, became a living soul.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.

1 Timothy 2:13

For it was Adam who was first created, and then Eve.

1 Timothy 2:14

And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression.

Jude 1:14

It was also about these men that Enoch, in the seventh generation from Adam, prophesied, saying, “Behold, the Lord came with many thousands of His holy ones,

So Pat... do you not believe the Word of God??? Through your simple and rash statement, you denied much of the teaching of the New Testament. Believe in a Theistic Evolution and a Biblical Faith ARE NOT COMPATIBLE! The Bible says so itself. Only Science (i.e. knowledge) that starts with Yhwh as the Creator (Pr.1:7) and the first building block, can be viewed as true to reality in God's order!

Ken Ham through his life and work defends Biblical Truth and Inerrancy, and his ministry is pleasing to God!  Your mistaken notions have and are leading many astray, and are being used of the Evil One to bring about this great deception on planet Earth, and set the stage of a great persecution of Biblical believers by so called Christians!  But we will all stand before God!
