The Missing Key To Protestant End-Time Theology!

It is so frustrating. When you have the key and put it into place, and begin unlocking so many clues with scripture, filling in so many paradigm gaps, or, holes in theological programs, and the people you know and love won't believe you.  It truly is a worldview shift!

This key I am referring to, Protestants don't hold, because of the subtle antisemitism found throughout their theology.  If there is one group of people left on earth today that it is okay for Protestants to hate, it is the Jews, those "who put Messiah to death."  And so not only does this influence their one-time belief (ie, dispensationalism, pre-trib rapture, church replacement theology, etc...), it also colors their translation of scriptures.

So what is this key that I am referring to?  This divine clue to unlock the true meaning of the scriptures?  This is a revelation made by God, the Spirit of Elohim Himself!

"But when he—the Spirit of truth—comes, he will guide you into all the truth. For he will not speak from himself, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will proclaim to you the things to come."  (Jn. 16:13)

The key is Gen. 48:19.  That's it, the key to unlocking Biblical mysteries!  All glory and praise to Yhwh, for you have revealed this to babes, and kept it from the wise and learned!  It truly is about going back to Genesis!

In Genesis 48, we see Jacob/Israel, full of years, about to die, and here blessing Joseph's children.  He crosses his hands, and puts his right hand of blessing on the younger son, Ephraim.  What he says to Ephraim is translated in most Bible translations as "He shall be a multitude of nations."  This is indeed a valid interpretation, yet it can also just as well be translated, "the fullness of the Gentiles!"

Did you get that???  The Apostle Paul taught that all Israel shall be saved when the "fullness of the Gentiles comes in" (Rom. 11:25)!  Huh! what!?  You mean when one tribe comes in, all Israel will be saved? Well, not exactly!

If we continue on, Ephraim, having received the blessing of firstborn, along with Judah (don't pass over this too lightly!), became a banner tribe encamped around the tabernacle, and then later, as the firstborn, the entire northern kingdom (ten tribes) of Israelites were named after him.

But he was scattered for idolatry and not keeping Yhwh's Torah (instruction).  The Father actually divorced the ten northern tribes, and told them as we see in Hosea, "You are not my people, and I am not your God!" (Hos. 1:9).  He told the prophet to name his daughter, as a sign to Ephraim, Lo-ruhamah, for He would "no longer have compassion on the house of Israel."

The northern kingdom was also called the "house of Israel" while the southern kingdom was "the house of Judah," consisting of the tribes of Judah, Benjamin, and the Levites.

The Jews of today are those of Judah who did not depart from Torah.  They were exiled into Babylon for not keeping Shmitah, or the Sabbath year of rest, but then returned to the land of Israel (cf. Ezra, Nehemiah) 70 years later.  But the house of Israel never returned.  They were exiled into Assyria, then later were dispersed/migrated from there.

This, and the ensuing three millennia, have been the prophetic fulfillment of the words of Israel, and of Moses prospecting about the Israelites destiny and struggle with Yhwh's Torah.  Through the dispersion, Ephraim became "the fullness of the Gentiles."  And Moses prophetically pronounced:

“And then when all of these things come upon you, the blessing and the curse that I have set before you and you call them to mind among the nations there where Yahweh your God has scattered you, and you return to Yahweh and you listen to his voice according to all that I am commanding you today, both you and your children, with all your heart and with all your inner self, and Yahweh your God will restore your fortunes, and he will have compassion upon you, and he will again gather you together from all the peoples where Yahweh your God scattered you there. 

“Even if you are outcasts at the end of the heavens, even from there Yahweh your God shall gather you, and from there he shall bring you back."

Here we have the most complete pronouncement of what would occur to the Israelite tribes.  They would live in the land and experience the blessing of Yahweh, for obedience to His instructions (Torah) in the Mosaic Covenant.  But He knew that they were prone to sin, and would forsake His Covenant, though He were a Husband to them (Hos. 2:7).  The tribes of Israel would be exiled to the ends of the earth, a curse of disobedience to Yhwh's instruction.  They would forget their identities in the lands where they are delivered, and from there at the end of days, Yhwh would bring them back to the land He promised to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

The Prophets spoke of the fulfillment of this promise that God made to the children of Israel through the lips of Moses.  Ezekiel, being perhaps one of the most well-known passages, though not entirely understood by Gentile readers, speaks of the restoration of the two trees, or 'sticks' of Israel.

"24 For I will take you from the nations, gather you from all the lands and bring you into your own land. 25 Then I willsprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all yourfilthiness and from all your idols. 26 Moreover, I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; and I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. 27 I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will be careful to observe My ordinances. 28 You will live in the land that I gave to your forefathers; so you will be My people, and I will be your God."  (Ezek. 36:24-28) (bold and italics mine)

16 “And you, son of man, take for yourself one stick and write on it, ‘For Judah and for the sons of Israel, his companions’; then take another stick and write on it, ‘For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim and all the house of Israel, his companions.’ 17 Then join them for yourself one to another into one stick, that they may become one in your hand...  21 Say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God, “Behold, I will take the sons of Israel from among the nations where they have gone, and I will gather them from every side and bring them into their own land; 22 and I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel; and one king will be king for all of them; and they will no longer be two nations and no longer be divided into two kingdoms. 23 They will no longer defile themselves with their idols, or with their detestable things, or with any of their transgressions; but I will deliver them from all their dwelling places in which they have sinned, and will cleanse them. And they will be My people, and I will be their God."  (Ezek. 37:16-17, 21-23)

And I could on and quote from Hosea and Zechariah and Isaiah, and Jeremiah... but I want to leave a little for your own personal research and discovery, as you look to see if these things I have said are true.  We are living in amazing times of fulfillment of Bible promises, things promised in the beginning from the Creator God Himself, promises made to the patriarchs... about which times we are living in today.

This is the key that would both reshape and bring Protestant, indeed Biblical theology together.  It makes all the pieces fit.  And it explains why Ye'shua the Savior said:

“Do not go in the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter any city of the Samaritans; 6 but rather go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7 And as you go, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ (Mt. 10:5-7)

“I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” (Mt. 15:24)

Mt. 24 OJB - And having exited from the Beis - Bible Gateway

I love this!!!  The Orthodox Jewish Translation of the Bible, including the New Testament (B'rit Chadashah)!  Check out Matthew 24, one of the most apocalyptic, return of Messiah passages in its Jewish context, one which would have been the first and most close to heart of Yeshua and his disciples (followers/scholars/students).

Mt. 24 OJB - And having exited from the Beis - Bible Gateway

Tell us ad mosai (how much longer), when will these things be and what about the ot (sign) of the Bias Moshiach, of your Coming, and the Ketz HaOlam Hazeh?

4 And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said in reply to them, See to it that someone does not deceive you[!]

...

6 But you are about to hear about milchamot (wars) and rumors of milchamot. See to it that you are not alarmed, for it is necessary for this to happen, but it is not yet HaKetz (the End).

7 For there will be an intifada of ethnic group against ethnic group, and malchut against malchut. There will be famines, earthquakes in place after place.

8 But all these things are but the beginning of the Chevlei [Moshiach].

9 Then they will hand you over to tzoros and they will kill you and you will be hated by all the ethnic groups on account of the Name of me (Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua, Yeshua).

...

12 And because of the increased mufkarut (lawlessness, anarchy—Mt 7:23), the agape (love) of many will become cold.

13 But the one having endured to HaKetz (the End), this one will receive Yeshuat Eloheinu.

14 And this Besuras HaGeulah of the Malchut will be announced in kol haOlam (all the world) as an edut to all the Goyim, and then will come HaKetz (the End).

15 Therefore, when you see the SHIKUTS MESHOMEM [Mk 13:14] (Abomination of Desolation), the thing spoken through Daniel HaNavi, having stood in the Makom Kadosh (Holy Place, i.e., the Beis Hamikdash)—let the reader understand!

16 Then the ones in Yehudah, let them flee to the mountains.

...

24 For meshichei sheker (false Moshiachs) will arise, and neviei sheker (false prophets), and they will give otot gedolim (great signs) and moftim (wonders), so as to deceive, if possible, even the Bechirim (Chosen ones).

25 Hinei! I have told you beforehand!

26 If, therefore, they say to you, Hinei! He [Moshiach] is in the desert! Do not go out [there]. Hinei! [Moshiach] is in the secret cheder (room)! Do not have emunah [in that].

27 For as lightning goes out from the mizrach (east) and shines to as far as the maarav (west), thus will be the Bias HaMoshiach (coming of the Messiah, the Ben HaAdam, Son of Man‖DANIEL 7:13).

28 Wherever the place of the Geviya (Corpse) is, there will be gathered together the nesharim (vultures, eagles [popularly]).

29 Immediately after the Tzarah (Tribulation Mt 24:21) of those days, the shemesh will be darkened, and the levanah will not give its light. And the kokhavim will fall from Shomayim, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

30 And then will appear the Ot Ben Adam (the Sign of the Son of Man) in Shomayim. All the tribes of kol haaretz (all the earth) will see the Ben HaAdam Moshiach and his Bias, his Coming, on the ananim of Shomayim (clouds of glory of Heaven) with gevurah (power) and great kavod (glory).

YNet News: Hello, Iran Speaking

At YNetnews, Iranians tell of the view they have of their government, and of its policies towards Israel and the U.S. at http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4206671,00.html.  It's a very refreshing, enlightening read.

The Timing of the Return of Christ

It has become apparent to me that there is some confusion as regards my teachings as to the return of the Lord Jesus Christ. Now certainly I'm no Harold Camping, but I do believe that the signs outlined in scripture, evidenced all around us, bear witness to the fact that Jesus' return is near in God's redemptive plan. As a one who was called into ministry by the LORD, I have a burden for people to know and understand the word of the LORD.

How near is near? It is evangelical belief that the rapture is imminent (meaning nothing has to happen, it could happen now, or next month or in 7 years at the end of the tribulation. Now Jesus, at his first coming, fulfilled the four prophetic Jewish spring feasts. He fulfilled the feast of Passover, crucified as the Passover Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world (Jn. 1:29, Matt 26:2, Lk. 22:7ff). He fulfilled the feast of Unlevened bread (Lk. 22:7) when He was buried and raised three days later (Lk. 24:2). He fulfilled the feast of firstfruits when He rose on the third day from the grave, as a firstfruits (1 Cor. 15:20) of those resurrected to eternal life. And He fulfilled the feast of Pentecost, when He poured out the Holy Spirit on believers who confess His name (Acts 2:1ff).

In 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17, it says the Lord will descend from heaven with a shout, the voice of an archangel and the trumpet of God. Mark Bilz, a Messianic Jew and founder of El Shaddai ministries explained in an interview on prophecyinthenews.com http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=isj-eumZnuQ about the feast of Trumpets.

The Feast of Trumpets begins at the sighting of the news moon at the beginning of the month of Tishri, which is late September on the Gregorian calendar we follow (Lev. 23:24). Six pm tonight (Sept. 28, 2011) begins the month of Tishri for the Jewish calendar, where their days run from 6 pm to 6 pm. Since the beginning of the festival begins on the sighting of the new moon, as Pastor Biltz explains, the Jews have a saying, that "no one knows the day nor the hour" of its starting. And when it is sighted, people awake the next morn, their day half over, but the must keep the festival a full day, often running into the 2nd of Tishri, being one long day, so "no one knows the day or the hour" of its coming.

Do we know if the LORD is to return this week, tomorrow, which will be the first, going on the second of Tishri? I believe the LORD's return for the Church in the rapture is imminent. It could happen any time, but when my Messianic Brother teaches these facts about the fall feast of trumpets, I take heed. As believers we are not to despise prophetic utterances, but to examine everything, and hold fast to that which is good (1 Thess. 5:20-21).

I believe that the formation of the one world government prophesied in Dan. 7, which tramples and devours the whole earth (Dan. 7:7-8) is very near. The groundwork is being laid around us, and has been for decades. The groundwork for the battle of Ps. 83 and Ezek. 38 are in the works and appears likely a war will break out in the Middle East, knowing that God's word is truth, and He has declared the end from the beginning. (for a great study resource, see http://www.arewelivinginthelastdays.com/)

Ezek. 39 teaches that it will take Israel seven years to clean up from the destruction of the battle when Russia, Iran and the other countries come against it for battle (Ezek 39:9), and it will take them 7 months to bury all the bodies (Ezek. 39:12). Crises are mounting in the Middle East as we hear of wars and rumors of wars. We have seen Isaiah 19 begin to be fulfilled as the sons of Egypt have turned against one another (Is. 19:2) and it appears that a hard king is coming to rule over them in the likes of the Muslim brotherhood (Is. 19:4)

Is Christ’s return near? Emphatically, I say YES!. Is it going to be this week, tomorrow? I HOPE SO! I’m ready to leave this world of sin and strife, of physical pain, suffering and sorrows. I’m ready to go and be with the LORD forevermore!

Will it be this week? MAYBE. Jesus said Matthew 24:33-34 33 so, you too, when you see all these things, recognize that He is near, right at the door. 34 "Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place.

This generation He was speaking of began in 1948. That was almost a generation ago. But Jesus, the Truth, said this generation will not pass away. The time is close.

Now what happens if Thursday is not the day of the Lord’s return for His people. Then we didn’t understand fully the teaching of the LORD. The evangelical church, who hold to a view in the pre-seven year (in place of “tribulation”) rapture of the church must believe it is coming soon, for the world stage is being set, and the people are being conditioned to accept a “savior” to deliver humanity.  I appears from the events scripture lays out, the coming battles of Ps. 83 & Ezek. 38, that for Yhwh to turn back his focus to the Jews for the 70th seven ("week" or "shabua"; Dan. 9:27) the church will be raptured at least by the timing of the battle of Magog (Ezek. 38).

But if this teaching doesn’t pan out, some believe Christians will live into the time of the seven year treaty heralded by the antichrist. We will applaud the two witnesses when they come to earth from heaven and testify in Jerusalem. We will either be put to death as “domestic terrorists” or will starve to death, not being able to buy or sell because we refuse to take the mark of the one-world leader.

Regardless of which theological, eschatological (end-time) position you hold, hard times are coming. The LORD's prophecies concerning the last days are being fulfilled.  Those who remain upon the earth are going to see the judgments of God poured out upon earth as never before. They are going to see terrors that will literally frighten them to death, and make the drop in their tracks, according to God’s word (Lk. 21:26).

Those who are in Christ? We belong to the Lord, and are looking for the blessed hope and glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us to redeem us from every lawless deed, and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good works! Amen, even so, come Lord Jesus.

Egypt's Crisis Unfolds

It seems that the demonstrators amassed to celebrate Mubarak's resignation, though it may not be as free a governement as the people's want.  In Is. 19:2, Yahweh states that He will incite Egyptian against Egyptian. and that they will fight one another.  We have seen this take place in fulfillment of God's word.  It goes on to say that they will be placed under the hand of cruel masters, and a strong king will rule over them (hcsb).  The military has seized control of Egypt, supposedly until elections can be set in place.  We're going to see how this plays out, and if this is indeed the sceneraio that Isiah 19 is speaking of, and I believe it is, then the Muslim Brotherhood would be a good candidate for seizing control, in fulfillment of scriptures (Is. 19:4).
*update 02/19/11: reuters reports on the rising Islamist role in the uprising in Egypt



But another interesting development is taking place, with Iran sending military ships down the Suez canal to gain a presence in the Meditteranean offshore of Israel.  That's not too scary.  Especially since they want to wipe Israel off the face of the earth! 


Isaiah 19 goes on to speak of the drying up of the "sea," "the streams" and "the Nile."  Could this action of an Iranian controlled military using the Suez and other water sources in Egypt be a factor in the drying up of Egypts's waterways? 

Let's pray for the inhabitants of Eygpt, and most of all, that they will receive the true deliverer, as Isaiah 19:16-25 declares.

Time Is Running Out

As I’ve stated on the top of this site, this blog is about looking forward to the return of the rightful ruler, the Lord Jesus Christ. He told us in Matthew 24 of some of the signs that we could look for in identifying the season for His return and the establishment of His literal reign on earth.


I haven’t blogged as much as some may have hoped, not as much as I had expected, but I got caught up in life and my family with a wonderful wife and two precious boys. I don’t want to sacrifice that, as I know that my family is my primary ministry, to my wife and my sons, raising them to be godly young men.



But as I’ve noted before, Israel is God’s Timeclock. And time is drawing to a close for the Obama Administration to facilitate a peace treaty between Israel and the PA (Muslims). Israel has bent over backward to give concessions in order to show goodwill towards peace. Abbas has done little to make goodwill gestures to the Jewish people.



Danny Ayalon in the guardian.co.uk notes:

Palestinians have quietly been allowed to regress from the conventional positions, many of which they formerly accepted, that are essential for any peace process. For example, the murder of four Israelis by Palestinian terrorists on 31 August, on the eve of negotiations, did not induce Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel's prime minister, to withdraw from peace talks. Yet the construction of a few apartments in Judea and Samaria, also known as the West Bank, has been viewed by many as a justifiable excuse for the Palestinians to walk out.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2010/oct/15/palestian-rejectionism-obstacle-to-peace; accessed 10/22/10.



Evidently, even the lady who shattered the glass ceiling is giving up on the idea of negotiating peace between Israel and the Muslim parties in control.

"As much as the United States and other nations around the world want to see a resolution to this conflict, only the parties themselves can take the difficult steps that will lead to peace. That is why the Obama administration is working so hard to support direct talks that offer a forum for both sides to grapple with the core issues in good faith. There is no substitute for face-to-face discussion and, ultimately, for an agreement that leads to a just and lasting peace. That is the only path that will lead to the fulfillment of the Palestinian national aspirations and the necessary outcome of two states for two peoples."

http://www.state.gov/secretary/rm/2010/10/149766.htm



What’s interesting about this is that this is setting the conditions that will be met as spelled out in the Bible, that the small ‘horn’ or ruler that arises out of the global government will make a strong (Hb. Gabar) covenant for seven years (Dan. 9:27, 11:28, 30, 32), a peace treaty in the Middle East, which no one has been able to establish. For this the world will follow this leader.



With the human governments of this world concluding that they have done all there is to do, and seeing the pressure intensify between the Jews and all the Muslim countries which surround them, the time is soon approaching.



Daniel 7:25 25 'He will speak out against the Most High and wear down the saints of the Highest One, and he will intend to make alterations in times and in law; and they will be given into his hand for a time, times, and half a time.

God Gifts and Callings

“God’s Gifts and Calling are Irrevocable.”




26 And in this way all Israel will be saved, as it is written: The Liberator will come to Zion; He will turn away godlessness from Jacob. 27 And this will be My covenant with them, when I take away their sins. 28 Regarding the gospel, they are enemies for your advantage, but regarding election, they are loved because of their forefathers, 29 since God’s gracious gifts and calling are irrevocable.

Romans 11:26-29 (HCSB)

IN the days of the great falling away, there are many heresies. One of those spoken to already in this blog is Preterism. Another is known as Replacement Theology. Replacement theology is a broad term that describes different views which assumes the Church has replaced Israel’s place in the covenant blessings (not curses though) of God. This view has effected much of the Gentile Church since the days of Martin Luther.

Preterism, a more dastardly Marxist theological view, says that the Lord returned in 90 A.D. and resurrected his people. The believers left on earth are left to do their best to get things in shape. Their only real hope is the departure to heaven when they die.


Both of these views teach that the Gentile Church has replaced God’s purpose for the Jews. This is based on a serious misunderstanding of scripture and voids many of the prophetic passages dealing with God’s dealing with the nations and in particular, the Jews in the last days.


Romans is a jewel in the midst of the New Testament, so rich with theological jewels and precious jewels. It’s the closest we have to systematic theology of the New Testament. Martin Luther himself (who was converted by the illuminiation of Rom. 1:17 – “a righteousness is revealed, that is by faith from first to last”) said in it is “the purest gospel… it should be read every day.” Oh, had we given heed to his words! We might have been spared the theological and damnable heresies in our day. But who can contest the will of God? 17 Why, O LORD, do You cause us to stray from Your ways And harden our heart from fearing You? Isaiah 63:17.



The apostle Paul writes in this passage found near the end of Romans in this great treatise on election and predestination (chapters 9-11), which is centered on the nation of Israel and God’s choosing and calling Israel to be his chosen people. This is where God says that his gracious gifts (the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the temple service, and the promises-Romans 9:4 (HCSB) and His calling (to be a blessing to all nations, to bring salvation to the earth, et al.) are irrevocable.



So let’s look at the above passage. Paul says “and in this way all Israel will be saved.” Many assume by a quick reading through the passage that Israel will be saved by the preceeding text of this verse, the salvation of the Gentiles. But that is not what Paul means at all.



Paul is saying in effect, “And in this way, all Israel (that is, all those chosen to receive the gift of salvation Jn 15:16) will be saved.” And the next sentence, he quotes from the prophet Isaiah, “And the Liberator will come to Zion; He will turn away godlessness from Jacob. 27 And this will be My covenant with them, when I take away their sins.” It is in this way that Israel will be saved. Not by passing the gospel baton on to the Gentiles.



Paul affirms Isaiah, and states that the Liberator will come to Zion and turn godlessness away from Jacob. This is the covenant God has made with Israel when He takes away their sins. They are saved by grace through faith, and that not of themselves. It is the gift of God, not of works, so that no one can boast (Eph 2:8,9).



Zechariah prophesied of the same thing when he was speaking of the return of the Messiah to defend his people against the nations of the earth, which had gathered against her in the great confrontation known as Armageddon.



"In that day a fountain will be opened for the house of David and for the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for sin and for impurity. 2 "It will come about in that day," declares the LORD of hosts, "that I will cut off the names of the idols from the land, and they will no longer be remembered; and I will also remove the prophets and the unclean spirit from the land.”

Zechariah 13:1-2



And this is when the LORD cleanses his people of their sin, at the end of the 7 year reign of the one world ruler, the man of lawlessness, whom “the Lord will slay with the breath of His mouth and bring to an end by the appearance of His coming” 2 Thess. 2:8. The people of Israel will “look on Me whom they have pierced” (Zech 12:10). At this point the Messiah will establish His rule upon the earth, and His chosen ones shall be ministers upon the earth for the thousand year rule of the Messiah (Rev. 20:6).



So the testimony of scripture is that God is indeed not finished with the Jews. In fact, they are the only nation on earth that has remained intact and reassembled after 1800 years of dispersion among the nations of the world. One of the greatest miracles was the recognition of the Jewish state in 1948, and even up to today Jews continue to make aliyah and return to their homeland.



God’s gifts and His callings are irrevocable. We are so shortsighted, and don’t recognize the work of the LORD. As followers of the Messiah, followers of the One who claims to be the Truth, it behooves us to stand with Israel.

Preterism: A Marxist Theological Tool

I was just encouraged and refreshed, reading a blog exposing the fallacies of Preterism, which I first became acquanited with by a member on here, who held the eschatological posiiton of Preterist.


Many observant onlookers have noticed the various degrees and doctrines of compromise running amuck in the Christian Church today. Joel Richardson, author of Islamic Antichrist, has a post on his blogsite www.joelstrumpet.com titled, Preterism: The Marxist's Favorite Theological Tool.

To give you a taste, I'll post a couple of excerpts of this excellent little blog here:

********
But beyond “social justice”, there is another foundational theological element to this equation that must be exposed. But first, it is important to briefly review the primary hope, expectation and message of the Bible. From start to finish, the unified, cohesive message that every Biblical prophet and apostle proclaimed is the coming of the messianic kingdom of God on the earth. Whether Jewish or Christian, the pole star of hope for every believer has always been the Messianic Kingdom. This vision of heaven and earth fully redeemed together as one, has always been the ultimate hope of the people of God. This message is most often called “the Gospel”. Proclaiming this message, in word and deed, has always been the primary calling and mission of the Church.

...

When examining the various Messianic expectations that have been trumpeted by the prophets and apostles from ancient times, Preterism emasculates the Christian faith of nearly every essential future expectation. In its most extreme forms, Preterism holds that Jesus Christ has already returned, (spiritually), that the Antichrist has already come, that the resurrection of the dead has already taken place (again, spiritually), and that what we are seeing and experiencing now; that’s all there is folks.


...

This time around however, the Marxists are trying an entirely new tactic. They are attempting to infiltrate the Churches, and by altering a few key eschatological doctrines, they believe that they can reconcile Christianity with Marxism. Why the need to eradicate Christians when they can just as easily be converted and utilized as useful idiots for the Marxist cause? It’s far less bloody after all.

But in order for the Marxist conversion to take place, Christians must first abandon their traditional messianic hopes through the deconstructive vehicle of Preterism. In my latest DVD set, Understanding the Times, I discuss this issue in detail. Consider the implications:


Richardson goes on to write six implications that the Marxists achieve through this Satanic denial of God's word. To read the rest of the blog, click here: http://www.joelstrumpet.com/?p=2438#more-2438 .

May the LORD help His people discern and stand in the Truth for such a time as this. Christian, carpe diem!


"Enter through the narrow gate.  For wide is the gate, and broad is the path that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.  But the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and only a few find it."  -Jesus,  Mt. 7:13-14
