Edition 240

This ministry has a distinct kingdom, Messianic vision, identifying with God’s call and plan for the Jewish people and the church. My position is pre-trib! Personally: I was saved in 1976 while working as a war correspondent, journalist, photographer, artist and environmentalist. My calling is to share these great end-time dramas, to stand as a watchman and above all, to glorify my God.

Israeli election: The final result is still up in the air, but it seems like Netanyahu will be able to put together a coalition favouring Likud and himself, as at 21st September.
Oil wars have the potential to cripple the world economy. When the US attacks Iran, Iran will attack Israel and "pop goes the weasel!"
New US imposed sanctions on Iran's banking fraternity will further cripple their collapsing economy. = Hooks in jaws? (Ezekiel 38:4)

These will change on Sundays or as the Lord leads.

Job 42:5-6 “I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye (spiritual) sees You, therefore I abhor myself and repent in dust and ashes.”

Job 15:8 “Have you heard of the counsel (secret) of God? Do you limit wisdom to yourself?

Proverbs 3:32 “His secret counsel is with the upright.”

Isaiah 66:2 “...On this one will I look: On him who is poor and of a contrite spirit, and who trembles at My word.”

Shabbat (Sabbath) begins on Fridays at 6pm and ends on Saturdays at 6pm. The purpose is to help the church and Israel become reconciled in Messiah and to identify the rift, and the needed restoration. There is much in the church that needs to change before it can be fully reconciled with the Jew. Likewise, changes in Jewish thinking are also needed.

Shabbat Shalom to all!

The exciting wait:

We remain in an impasse relating to the Israeli election outcome, and many other prophetic developments.

It’s as though God has put His finger on the pause button. It won’t be for long!

Don’t you just wish things would get moving and hurry up?

We must not try to ‘move’ things ourselves, in our time instead of looking to God to move in His time. But to be fully on His side, we need to grin and bear it!

I do expect things to suddenly escalate, perhaps in a most unexpected and dramatic way. Once the ball does get rolling, it is likely to roll very fast. One thing I do know for sure is that at the end of the day, everything will have worked out God’s way exactly and in His exact time. So we can rest (impatiently) in that!

Iran:

The recent Iranian attack on Saudi oil Installations needs to be addressed.

Why did Iran hit Saudi Arabia? These two nations have been at each other’s throats for years. They have a deep rooted ancient hatred for each other’s brand of Islam. It is primarily a religious conflict.

Saudi Arabia was the home of the queen of Sheba in the Bible. It is identified as the land of Sheba and Dedan (Ezekiel 38:13), which is WW111 also called Gog and Magog. (Dedan is Yemen today)

Interestingly, the Ezekiel prophecy aligns Sheba (Saudi Arabia) with a group of nations which can be identified as the major western nations including the USA of today. This alliance is Israel-friendly as revealed in that prophecy, as they come to Israel defence.

What is so interesting about this is that only a few years ago this sort of alliance (Saudi Arabia, the US, Israel) would be so far out of the question!

The point is that Iran with pre-loaded religious hatred for the Saudi’s, now sees this alliance with whom they call the “great Satan” and the “lesser Satan,” the US and Israel.

Add to this Iran’s attempts to hit the world economy through its lifeline of black gold – oil.

Add to this the consistent, repeating statements of extreme hatred for Israel by Iran. If you have an arch-enemy who repeatedly says he is going to destroy you, that should raise you to action.

And then finally, what Iran really hates is the fact that Israel has been chosen by God for His purpose and that the US has been chosen by God to stand with Israel. So it’s a conflict with strong spiritual undertones as well.

Now, let’s add to this the fact that Bible prophecy has a 100% fulfilment record. I think it’s not a good idea to own property in Iran now!

So, looking at all of these factors, I hope you see how volatile, unsettled, unstable and explosive it is.

Israel:

In these days particularly, we are in desperate need of prophetic glasses. We need to see, know and understand what the ancient scriptures have to say. If not danger of deception lurks!

scroll glasses2

Israel is the real target. That’s not surprising.

Tragically, and unbeknown to them, the churches of replacement theology are allies of Iran and enemies of God’s plan for Israel. Many churches are silent on the issue. Silence is tolerance and compliance!

Baa, baa black sheep have you any wool? Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full – all full of deceptive disease. That’s the state of many ministries today relating to Israel!

So, how do you think it will all play out? The Bible tells us.

The Jews have a chilling chant relating to the Holocaust – “never again” but tragically, the Bible does reveal that a new holocaust, very different to the original will occur on Israel’s way to glory. The world has learnt nothing and neither has much of the church!

Israel please know and understand that there is a fast growing community of Christians who love you, and God’s plans for you, who stand with you and for you, and pray and fast for you regularly.

Iran is stirring in her final hatred for Israel. Iran has said numerous times that it wants to wipe Israel off the map. Well, guess who gets wiped off the map?

Jeremiah 49:36-37 “Against Elam (modern Iran) I will bring the four winds from four quarters of heaven and scatter them towards those winds. There shall be no nation where the outcasts of Elam will not go. I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies and before those who seek their life. I will bring disaster upon them, My fierce anger says the Lord; and I will send the sword after them, until I have consumed them.” (Ezekiel 38:5 = parallel.)

And here is a message to Iran about Israel from God:

Isaiah 61:7 “Instead of your shame (Israel) you shall have double honour, and instead of confusion they shall rejoice in their portion. Therefore in their land they shall possess double; everlasting joy shall be theirs.”

That's God’s “final solution:” Iran get's wiped off the map and Israel gets double honour!

Jeremiah 24:7 “Then I will give them (Israel) a heart to know Me...”

Do you hear the trumpet? Do you hear the knocking at the door of your heart to be ready?

✡† Shalom...Joel.

Edition 240. December 31^st 2014

False end - time doctrines:

False end – time doctrines:

Introduction:

As we head into what will be an extremely critical year for the world, there are many things we must take heed of in our preparation for our Lord. No, I’m not saying the rapture / tribulation will begin in 2015 although it most certainly could, I am saying the time is very short. If it’s not this new-year it won’t be more than a few more.

This edition is not about false doctrines in general, but those that have specific relationship to these end days. They are not all outright heresy or error. Some are just twists in the truth as you will see.

There are a number of false doctrines that have specific relevance to the end-time scenario. These are the big ones of our day that will intensify and become deadly and dangerous.

I’ll first of all list them and then we can speak about them.

Today we are in a dangerous world of the arising of billboard Jesus – another Jesus – your own personal sponsor for your own life. This billboard Jesus in not holy and pure, and is full of error. He is a creation of the modern church – just for you. He can fit in nicely without interference.

There are so many churches that can’t change even if they wanted to. Their ways are so deeply entrenched in the ways of the world; they are one with it and its god.

The call and cry for repentance and a return to the pure undefiled gospel is falling on deaf, dead ears.

1 John 4:6 “We are of God. He who knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. By this we know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of error.”

The list of false end-time doctrines:

●Deception today is no different from the past and no big deal if you’re saved.

●Satan is not the god of this world, Jesus is!

●The world will continue as always.

●Jesus is coming back to offer love and forgiveness.

●You can help create a world of peace now.

●Doctrine is not important, just love one another.

●Jezebel in the church.

●Israel is of no consequence. The Palestinians must have half of Jerusalem and the land of Israel.

●You do not need the baptism in the Spirit and the gifts of the Spirit to see and deal with demons.

●Jesus was married.

Identifying last-days deceptions, heresies and false doctrines:

The false doctrines of our day will relate to the important biblical doctrines of our day.

Satan is the god of confusion says the Bible, and of course he is going to obscure himself and his operations and spread confusion in the things of God’s prophetic word.

Revelation 12:12 “Therefore rejoice O heavens and you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows he has a short time.”

The verse above will intensify incredibly in the tribulation period, but we are in the labour pains now and forerunner period to the tribulation. We are in a spiritual environment of intensifying battle.

The deadly false doctrines of today will glorify Satan in disguise, cast down God’s eternal truths and exalt the things of the devil.

The devil attacks the Christian through the world system, the flesh-nature and the demonic. The big heresies of today will most certainly include error relating to these three things.

clocks deception

●Deception today is no different from the past and no big deal if you’re saved.

On the Mount of Olives our Lord warned five times of end-time deception during His discourse with the disciples. If you blindly accept everything and you do not question and search for biblical truth, you must be, will be, and deserve to be deceived.

2 John 1:7 “Many deceivers have gone into the world who do not confess Yeshua the Messiah as coming in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.”

Revelation 13:14 “And he (Satan) deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs which were granted him...”

2 Thessalonians 2:9 “The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs and lying wonders.”

Matthew 24:4 (Description of end times) “Take heed that no one deceives you, for many will come in My name saying I am the Christ and will deceive many. Verse 11: “Many false prophets will arise and deceive many.”

Psalm 119:118 “You reject all those who stray from Your statutes, for their deceit is falsehood.”

2 Timothy 3:13 “Evil men and imposters will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.”

2 Timothy 3:1-5 “In the last days perilous times will come, for men will be lovers of themselves...having a form of godliness but denying its power...From such people turn away.”

So, just in these few dramatic verses above, and there are many more, we see a pattern, a very dangerous, deadly pattern! It’s all about end-time deception.

If your church is not teaching you about deception and warning you of its danger – be careful of that church! Be careful of any church that does not teach on God’s enemies, who, by default, are your enemies.

Revelation 12:9 speaks of the “beast that deceives the whole world.” This is a tribulation verse but do you see that immense power here?

We are in a time period of increasing deception - not the other way around.

This is the urgent message of the day. It is urgent. It is happening even right now.

●Satan is not the god of this world, Jesus is!

For God so loved the world He would never harm a flea! Sounds funny, but that is the exact lie a growing number of people believe. They believe that Satan is in hell or out there somewhere, or something, anything – just not that Satan is the god of this world. (2 Corinthians 4:4)

“How can Satan be the god of my world to have fun in?” This is the unwritten question of most people today!

Satan has power and authority in this world system. He is its god.

According to 2 Corinthians 4:4 God has blinded the eyes of the world. Do you know that? Do you understand that? The world is blind. It is blind to its demise. All of its ways emanate from spiritual blindness. It’s heroes, celebrities, leaders are all blind. The world can’t receive the Spirit of truth. Its works are all evil, it is at enmity with God. We are “not to love the world.” We are to come out of its domain and be separate.

If they could see into the spiritual realm for 1 minute, they would all fall on their faces in repentance!

By the way, the earth is not the world. The world is the socio-political, economic area and the dealings of man. We could say that the earth is adorned or dressed with the world. The earth, although it still has the curse upon it will continue, later restored and glorified. The world will be destroyed soon, never to arise again.

The great end-time deceptions and heresies relating to the world will be those that obscure Satan, keep him hidden, concealed and out of the picture. It is this world that we as believers are commanded to “hate” and “die to.” (John 12:25, Galatians 2:20)

A great coming heresy will be taught by many churches, especially all the orthodox churches. It will be that the world can come together as one in peace and make world peace. This will all be the work of Satan in disguise.

●The world will continue as always.

2 Peter 3:3-4 “Scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, saying ‘where is the promise of His coming? All things will continue as they were from the beginning of creation.’”

It is the end-time scoffers who believe that world will continue as always. That’s actually quite logical if the Lord is not coming back to judge the world, it must continue as always.

If the world will continue as always, there has to be a very strong focus on preserving it, saving it and making it a better place. None of these things are part of the great commission for the true disciple of Messiah.

If nobody knows the time of the coming of the Lord, you must have the world as your playground. There will be little division between the world and the kingdom of God in your view.

This is exactly why so many churches are full of worldly heresy.

●Jesus is coming back to offer love and forgiveness.

People of the world are blind spiritually, uninformed, falsely taught and in all error. They believe that Jesus was some Gentile, gentle guy who was full of love for everything and everyone. Hell is foreign to them.

You would be shocked to know how many intelligent, educated people believe that if this Jesus is coming back again, he will come back as Mr. Nice Guy in love, forgiveness and compassion.

Let me tell you this. Yeshua, the Jewish Messiah, the King of all Kings is returning in love. He is returning to destroy the entire world polluted by Satan, and all its unsaved people, who will be cast into hell. This is pure love in action. Setting up a new world order, a universe of holiness, purity with no sin or evil in absolute glory – is an act of incredible love.

More sure than anything you can imagine, is the coming judgement. It is coming to every human being that ever lived. Every unbeliever will be judged to hell. Every believer will be judged and assessed for reward and loss of reward.

The idea that no judgement is coming or it will be a picnic is an evil heresy.

●You can help create a world of peace now.

The apostate church will remove end-time teaching and all that relates to Israel, Jerusalem and the Jews. It will remove all things relating to end-time judgement, severity, destruction, doom and terror.

With all teaching on the rapture, the tribulation and the second coming, all neatly removed, the Inter-faith world-church will push for world-peace in a big way. Satan will be the driving force.

They will draw in most churches. Already there is a big move in this regard. The stage is being prepared even now.

As in the times of Babylon and all the other fallen world empires, they will think they can build a world of peace.

The push for unity amongst all religions and churches will be a major end-time heresy. Be careful of having anything to do with it. World-peace is coming – God’s way. It is called the Millennium and it is coming on the destruction of all that is not of God and has not gone though the cross of Messiah.

Anything and everything to do with multi-faith is to be avoided. It is ultimately doomed!

●Doctrine is not important, just love one another.

Acts 20:27-28 “I have not shunned to declare to you the whole counsel of God. Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock...for I know that after my departure, savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock.”

2 Timothy 4:3 “The time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers and turn from the truth to fables.”

Isaiah 59:14 (End-time context) “I looked and saw the truth cast down in the street”.

2 Thessalonians 2:10 “Because they did not receive the love of the truth, God will send them strong delusion. (End-time context).

2 John 1:10-11 “If anyone comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into your home nor greet him.”

1 Timothy 4:1 “The Spirit expressly says that in the latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons.”

The verses above need no explanation. They are powerful indeed. Today we are in an environment where doctrine is being sidelined and replaced with, “Just love one another.”

●Jezebel in the church:

This is one of the many deadly, evil spirits in the end-time church. The Jezebel spirit is all about illegitimate domination and control, designed to bring down or nullify church leadership. The tragedy is that few church leaders these days are even aware of this demon spirit.

It attacks families and anywhere where God’s authority structure is found as well.

You do not make peace with Jezebel – you kill her violently. (Not the individual but the spirit).

I have done an entire edition on this subject which you can find HERE. (It is the most hated edition so far.)

●Israel is of no consequence. The Palestinians must have half of Jerusalem and the land of Israel.

This will become the big issue of the end-times. Many churches teach that because Israel rejected our Lord, God has rejected them and is finished with them.

Of course God did reject them, but that’s not the end of the story.

God brings the Jews back into their land in spiritual blindness and when this is complete He lifts that blindness and completes His original call and work with the Jews.

If God is finished with the Jews, then the Palestinians have a legitimate right to the land in terms of democracy and internationalism.

The false doctrines around this issue will spark the next Holocaust and be the dividing fence between heaven and hell for many people.

●You do not need the baptism in the Spirit and the gifts of the Spirit to see and deal with demons. (Yes you do!)

Please be very sure of one thing. Satan does not operate alone. He has a host of multitudes of demons working with him. Because you can’t see them does not mean they are not there.

You need spiritual equipping, certain tools and weapons to see and deal with unseen demons.

The baptism in the Spirit supplies these weapons of spiritual warfare.

The baptism in the Spirit is also for your edification, to speak mysteries to God, to magnify God, for assurance of faith, unity, protection, discernment, stability, power, authority, endurance, self control, prophetic insight and more.

These attributes and more can be found in the following verses:

Acts 1:18, Acts 19:1-7, Acts 2:38-39, Acts 10:44-47, Acts 2:18, John 14:16, Acts 2:3-4, 1 Corinthians 1:7, 1 Corinthians 14:4, 1 Corinthians 12:12, Romans 12:2.

Many who come against the baptism in the Spirit use the following verse. They say, “You see tongues will cease” But the question is when. The verse is very interesting. It indicates that tongues will cease but knowledge will vanish away. In the original, the word for ‘cease’ means an immediate cessation, while “vanish away” means over a time period.

This verse actually implies a pre-tribulation rapture. That is when tongues will cease in an instant.

1 Corinthians 13:8-13 “Love never fails, but whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues they will cease; whether there is knowledge it will vanish away. When that is perfect is come, then that which is in part will be done away with...For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know as I am known.”

These last days are a time of immense spiritual conflict. If ever there is a time for the full equipping of God’s provision it is now.

►By the way, I distance myself from the ministries that abuse the gifts and have turned them into a lying, magic circus performance. The likes of Benny Hinn and others – I stand completely aloof from.

●Jesus was married.

This may seem somewhat obscure, but it may also be very important. The Dan Brown heresy centres on one main theme, which is that Jesus was married and had kids.

If that were so, there would be people around today who have pure undefiled blood in them with no Adamic curse. The one thing that did make our Lord Yeshua different from all other human beings is that He was born of a virgin with no earthly father, thus sidestepping the curse of the sin-nature that came to us all through Adam.

The logical conclusion of Brown’s deception is that there are people now with the pure blood, Arian, Christ-blood in them. This then makes them divine and equal with the deity of God. Do you see where this is going?

This is important in that sometime soon an individual will arise claiming to be God in the flesh. This will be the antichrist. He will be able to demonstrate in some way that he is pure and has no Adamic curse in him and therefore he will have the ability to be as God, including miracle working.

So, Dan Brown, did you know that you were preparing the way for the devil himself? By the way Dan, I have never and never will read one of your cursed words.

Those who have the unredeemed blood of Adam in them see those with the redeeming blood of Messiah in them as the evil enemy.

There is a similar evil doctrine in the Catholic church.

The Catholic church claims Mary was conceived without original sin. On the Catholic feast of so-called Immaculate Conception, the Catholics repeat the blasphemous phrase; “Oh Mary, our mother, today the people of God, in celebration, venerate you, the immaculate, preserved from the contagion of sin from the beginning. The full story is Here.

Catholicism has thousands of fathers, many are homosexuals wearing frocks. It has a mother who is not a virgin. None of them – not one is my father or mother. I reject them all – every one! (Matthew 23:9)

How to prevent deception:

You can’t in your own strength. You can’t as a compromised Christian. You can only do so through the power of the cross and the shed blood, together with the full equipping of God and the use of His provisions and gifts.

You must know your Bible very well under the leading and guiding of the Spirit of God. If you feed your spirit with the good food of God’s word it will begin to dominate your life. If you feed your spirit with the cursed garbage of the world – it will dominate your life.

The good news:

Very soon Satan will be cast out and bound. The future universe will go through one more brief rebellion at the end of the Millennium, but for all true believers, the second we step into eternity – that’s it! Our glorious future is signed, sealed and delivered forever.

Personally, it is an accomplished fact now, but the full manifestation is at the salvation or glorification of our bodies.

If you want to get a brief glimpse of the glory that awaits us please have a look at edition 197 entitled “The glory of the future universe”. Click Here.

Final thoughts:

Proverbs 1:28-29 “Then they will call on me, but I will not answer; they will seek Me diligently, but will not find Me, because they hated knowledge (of God) and did not chose the fear of the Lord.”

There is one big issue with the coming of the Satan. He is and will try to delay the coming of the Lord and he will do everything in his power to neutralise his biggest enemy – the word of God and those born of the blood and Spirit of God.
