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.

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:

Securing your foundation:

Matthew 24:25 (Relating to deception) “See I have told you beforehand.”

The purpose of The Prophetic Scroll is not to make you happy, but to lead into all truth and right relationship with God and a right attitude to the word. Then everything falls into place. We are fast approaching great danger for believers. Without a solid foundation you will not endure the stroms.

Today many churches and ministries are highly dangerous, full of deep deception and should be avoided. The plague of error and deception is prophesied to get worse and worse.

Many churches today have inoculated the world against Christianity by trying to be just like the world. Sameness is not of God!

Satan wants worship, but he also wants to steal worship from those who give it to God.

So, be aware of his devices and his roaring as a lion. Stop him in his tracks. You, with the active word in you is no match for his attacks.

What is going on in this crazy world? Wherever the presence of God is revealed: Salvation, the true church, the promised word of salvation to the Jews, family and state, Satan attacks, trying to remove God in these things, and replace God with himself and his ways.

Exodus 32:6-8 (Moses and golden calf people) “The people rose early on the next day and offered burnt offerings and brought peace offerings, and the people sat down to eat and drink and rose up to play. And the Lord said to Moses, ‘Go get down! For your people whom you brought out of the land of Egypt, (type of salvation) have corrupted themselves. They have turned aside quickly, out of the way which I have commanded them. They have made themselves a moulded calf and worshipped it...”

This portion of scripture above is a tragic foreshadowing of the backslider and much of the church today, who in their superficiality have nothing but the spirit of “play” in them. They are corrupted by the world and its ways in the form of social activity, entertainment and even in some of what passes for worship.

Here is the great, evil, satanic pattern: (Genesis3:1-7)

Adam first questioned God’s authority and word in heeding Satan’s word. He then rejected God’s word receiving Satan’s word. He then came against God’s word. That is the pattern so evident in so many today. Amazing! Nothing has changed!

It is the pattern in numerous individuals, many who have become false teachers, and all replacement theology in the church.

God’s word to Satan is: “It is written.” (Matthew 4:4) Satan’s word is “Has God said?” (Genesis 3:1) We are not to debate or undermine God’s word. That is the way of witchcraft. That is the way to destroy your own foundation.

Those who reject or interfere with God’s word are legally under Satan’s authority and word.

Those who in the fear of the Lord, accept without question, the word of God are full of wisdom and are eternally safe.

pot-widom-scroll4

There is a great danger today in many elevated ministries. They have elevated themselves and they manipulate the masses with lies and false authority. This is especially seen where the gifts are turned to a circus performance.

Acts 4:16 “A notable miracle was done through them, which is evident to those who dwell in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it.”

This, above, is the only valid type of miracle!

Of course I believe in the gifts, but I reject the superficial games some people play.

It’s time to check that your foundation has no cracks in it.

The way to change and be at peace with God is to shift your focus to the unseen, eternal realm. Here we have “no continuing city.” (Hebrews 13:14)

The Bible speaks in numerous places of the futility of things “under the sun.” Yet this is the focus of most.

Psalm 17:15 “As for me, I will see Your face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied when I awake in Your likeness.”

2 Corinthians 4:16 “We do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day.”

I love this incredible verse above. The outward is perishing and the inward is being renewed. So many have that the wrong way around and are trying to prop up and beautify the outward all the time. There’s nothing wrong with the virtuous girls looking good, but don’t neglect the inner life.

The big tragedy is for both to perish!

It is the tension between the perishing and renewing that causes us to “groan.”

2 Corinthians 5:4 “For we who are in this tent (body) groan, being burdened not because we want to be unclothed, but further clothed that morality may be swallowed up by life.”

We groan with the animals and with all nature for the glory that is coming. (Romans 8:23) The funny thing is that even the duck-billed platypus is groaning, awaiting the coming of the Lord, but most churches full of apparently intelligent people are not, because they love self and the world!

Finally:

Hey you with the funny face! Yes you! Why do you have such a funny face? With many people you can actually see their bitter hearts in their face. Buy many times you can actually see their funny, happy, glorious, radiant faces reflecting from their heart.

Psalm 34:5 “They looked to Him and were radiant, and their faces were not ashamed.”

You may have a funny face because you’ve been eating words out of the Bible! Well, if so that’s just excellent!

Jeremiah 15:16-19 “Your words were found, and I ate them, and Your word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart; for I am called by Your name, O Lord God of hosts. I did not sit in the assembly of mockers, nor did I rejoice (with them). I sat alone because of Your hand, for You have filled me with indignation.”

Dearly beloved, please be one of those whose faces will not be ashamed by the glory of God when you stand before Him, because your face will be full of glory!

† 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.

I created this image from a number of bits and pieces of art work blended into one. The theme is the cross with death on one side of the cross and life on the other.
