Edition 401

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:

Are you being led into all truth?

One of my objectives is to keep you well informed of things to come before they come! Forewarned is forearmed. That gives you the edge in terms of your spiritual warfare and growth.

Darkness is descending! These are dangerous days, especially for the uninformed and those with no spiritual insight. You need all available armour and spiritual weapons.

So many people are falling and failing fast.

Tragically, I’m seeing so many Bible teachers who were once producing good material, now shipwrecked producing dangerous deception. Some personal friends who were walking well with the Lord have fallen, and returned the world.

I’m very aware and conscious of: “But for the grace of God, there go I.” I’ve been taking numerous special precautions of protective prayer for myself, which is by default, also for you, dear readers.

If you have an end goal objective, clearly defined. An enemy would attack anything along the road to the objective. This is what we are seeing now. The attacks are arising and intensifying from the world system and the compromised church.

The strength of a building is directly related to the architect’s plans and the foundation laid. You can be a good looking “building,” but if not correctly built, you will soon be pulled down.

I just received an email from a friend who said: “It’s time to bow down before our Lord, or be pulled down by Him (shudder)!” How wise she is!

Numerous false beliefs and false doctrines are flooding in along the way to the goal of future glory. We cannot afford to let down our guard and compromise with the compromisers, entertaining devils and demons.

Many teachers in the church today are blind guides, with no revelation, only dead, intellectual understanding. They are “well” informed by the spirit of the world.

So many churches are not preparing their flock for a fast approaching spiritual tsunami!

There is coming a time soon when the antichrist himself will cast the truth down: He will obscure it, change and modify it, and many won’t know the difference.

Daniel 8:12 “Because of transgression...he (antichrist) casts truth down to the ground. He did all this and prospered.

But we are in the forerunner time, when the truth is being cast down even now already. (Isaiah 59:14) When the truth has been cast down, it does not leave a vacuum. When people will not receive the love of the truth, the only alternative is great delusion and deception.

There is a deep, dark, thick, ignorance like an ominous cloud over nearly the entire world in terms of Bible prophecy! (That statement may sound crazy, but it’s the absolute truth!)

So what is the god-given responsibility of church leaders and teachers in these days relating to truth and one third of Bible truth – prophecy?

The duty of the teacher:

I have compiled the following list, for your benefit entirely from Bible verses:

●“When you see these things, know (Lit= I command you to know) that it is near.” (Matthew24:33) ●“You also be ready.” (Matthew 24:44) ●“Eagerly wait for the appearing of the Lord.” (Hebrews 9:28) ●“Take heed to the prophetic word.” (2 Peter 1:19) ●“Take heed you are not deceived.” (Matthew 24:4) ● Concerning the gathering together, (rapture) be not deceived.” (2 Thessalonians 2:1) ●“Look for the blessed hope of His coming.” (Titus 2:13) ●“Look for, thus hastening the appearing of the Lord.” (2 Peter 3:10) ●“You are not in darkness that this Day should overtake you as a thief, - watch!” (1 Thessalonians 5:4-6) ●“Exhort one another as you see the Day approaching.” (Hebrews 10:25) ●“This hope of His coming purifies you.” (1 John 3:2-3) ●“The wise discern both time and judgement.” (Ecclesiastes 8:5) ●“A crown of reward goes to those that love His appearing.” (2 Timothy 4:8) ●“Let no one rob you of your reward.” (Colossians 2:18) ●”The wise servant watches and is ready, the unwise says, ‘The Lord delays His coming.” (Matthew 24:45-48). ●The wise virgins were ready, the unwise were not. (Matthew 25) ●“Hypocrites discern the weather, but not the times and seasons.” (Matthew 16:3) ●“If you will not hear Yeshua, the prophet, you will be destroyed.” (Acts 3:22)

The wonderful ancient, glorious truth is being shot to pieces and cast down. The tragedy though, is that truth sometimes lands up in the rifle-sights of blind guides of the church! Do remember that truth will have the last say – and you better be on the right side.

The days that are beginning to unfold are:

Some of the following things occur in the tribulation period and some just before:

It’s a time of wrath, war, trouble, peril, fury, lawlessness, homosexual advance, martyrdom, deception, heresy, false prophets, departure from the faith, demonic days, times of mockers and scoffers, “multitudes in the valley of decision”. It’s a time when the wild olive branch (part of the church) is cut off. It’s a time when part of church knows the “depths of Satan”. It’s a time when the lukewarm church will be “spat out”. It’s a time when the nations and the counterfeit church will stumble over Jerusalem. It’s a time of “fishers and hunters” for Israel’s return, and the Second Exodus! It’s a time when Israel is brought back in blindness, to have her eyes opened to our Lord.

So, now you tell me; should the church be interested in prophecy, and being informed by their leaders and teachers? If not, WHY?

Those who don’t preach end-times preach no end time! In so doing they contribute to the unholiness of the church in these days. God rebuked Israel for not knowing the time of her visitation. (Luke 19:44).

Rebuke the prophecy naysayers, I say!

Know your watchmen!

If you hire a guard to watch over your property, you would not employ someone with a history of house breaking and theft, would you?

Likewise – know your watchman. Far too many people blindly trust anyone in the guise of a watchman. Your soul is valuable. Be careful whom you receive from. You need to totally reject some!

A true watchman is an offshoot of the ministry gift of the prophet. He must be called, equipped and anointed. This would be seen in his extremely thorough knowledge of the word, led by the Spirit. He is consistent and accurate in applying prophecy.

He will be one who hears from Lord, which will be evident in his words coming to pass.

You will know your watchman because he will never shut up about watching! He will never shut up about Israel until they are saved. (Ezekiel 3:17).

There are many so-called watchmen spreading deception and error, and some are spreading a curse that is in them to others. This is a spiritually charged area...be careful. Some I know personally have all the hallmarks and traits of a curse on their lives, delivered to them by teachers.

Thankfully, there are many who continue to produce solid, good material. If you are Spirit led, you will be able to discern that they are right with God and safe to trust.

† Shalom...Joel.

Edition 401: January 23^rd 2018

What will give Jews sight?

eye-Messiah

Introduction:

What will be the big thing that will cause the Jews to awaken to their Messiah? What will be the reason for the veil lifting, blindness departing, and hearts softening?

This is all a very important issue, because it is directly related to the coming rapture of the church, the tribulation period, and the Second Coming.

In looking for the one big reason for the Jews awakening, we need to look at the main reason for their blinding in the first place.

The mystery:

Romans 11:25-26 “I do not desire brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that hardening in part has happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. And so, all Israel will be saved.”

The word “mystery” is Strong’s G3466 “Myterion.” Meanings: Hidden from the ungodly.

This amazing verse above covers so much in just a few words! When God says that He does not desire that the brethren be ignorant of something, it’s always because they are!

Here He is saying that we should not be ignorant of a “mystery.” This is the same word used to describe the true church, the church age and the kingdom of God.

But this “mystery” (Israel’s hardening) is temporary. It will last until the last Gentile has come in; then salvation goes to the Jews like a flood.

John 12:40 “God has blinded their (Jews) eyes and hardened their hearts, lest they should see with their eyes, and understand with their hearts, lest they should turn and I should heal them.”

Matthew 23:38-39 “See! Your house is left to you – desolate. You shall see Me no more until you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’”

Here we see that God blinded the eyes of the Jews because they in fact, blinded their own eyes first. They hardened their own hearts by rejecting the Messiah.

The Suffering Servant will suffer no more!

The Rabbis are not keen on Isaiah 53! They call it the “forbidden chapter.” Christians say it reveals the “Suffering Servant” succinctly!

Isaiah 53 Records the entire dramatic tragedy of the rejection of the Messiah and His cross by the Jews. Here is a compilation of the main points, I’ve strung together for easy reading:

“He (Messiah) is despised and rejected by men, a Man of sorrows acquainted with grief. And we hid our faces from Him, we did not esteem Him. Surely He has bone our grief’s and carried our sorrows, yet we esteemed Him stricken, smitten by God and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions and bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed...God has laid on Him the iniquity of us all...He was led as a Lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before its sheerer was silent...He was cut off from the land of the living and they made His grave with the wicked. He bore the sin of many, and made intersession for the transgressors.”

This is all compiled from Isaiah 53, which is in the Old Covenant. And the Jews can’t see the Messiah here!!! There is only one explanation for that, which is a supernatural blinding.

Here are some other prophecies of our Lord from the Old Covenant:

●He will be born of a virgin. (Isaiah7:14) He will be born in Bethlehem. (Micah 5:2) ●He is God (Isaiah 9:6-7, Psalm 2:7) ●His bones will not be broken and His garments will be divided and gambled for. (Psalm 22:17-18) ●He will enter Jerusalem on a young donkey. (Zechariah 9:9). ●He will be pierced. (Zechariah 12:10) ●He will rise from the dead. (Psalm 16:10)

Why the Jews reject Yeshua today.

The central teaching of the Rabbis, filtering through to the Jews at large is contained in this short discourse below:

They say Yeshua could not be Messiah because:

●Yeshua did not fulfil all the Messianic prophecies. ●He did not bring world peace, which they were expecting. ●He did not build the Third Temple in Jerusalem. ●He did not complete the return of Jews to the land. ●He did not unite the world in the knowledge of God and make all humanity one. ●He was not made king over all the world. ●He did not bring King David back to rule Israel. ●They believe their Messiah must be a descendant of King David’s line. ●Yeshua could not be their Messiah because He was born of a virgin and therefore not of David.

Other major stumbling blocks include the belief by Jews that Hitler was Christian and therefore a Christian mass-murderer of Jews. All the popes, particularly in the Middle Ages were vicious mass-murdering anti-Semites, showing mass Christian hatred for the Jews!

Much of the modern church adheres to the terrible, satanic doctrine of replacement theology, which is a detestable abomination to the Jews, and has driven a horror-wedge between that part of the church and the Jews, causing them to reject anything “Christian” including Yeshua.

The traditions and convocations of Babylon, brought into the church by Constantine, re-characterised the church and made it unacceptable to the Jews.

One of the influential factors these days, in Jews coming to salvation in Yeshua comes from Christian Zionists, who in many cases, love the Jews more than own Rabbis do! Jews have a deeply, ingrained caution and resistance to most Christians because of all the hatred and damage the church has done to them.

The answer to their objections:

The answer to all the objections above is really very simple. The Jewish Messiah has come. But He came to set up a kingdom, which at this stage is invisible. It is a spiritual kingdom awaiting the full physical manifestation.

We who are believers are in the same boat. We have been saved through the new-birth, but we await the full manifestation of it in our bodies.

At the Second Coming and through into the Millennium, all these things will manifest, although they have been achieved and done already, in spirit.

Beloved brethren, these are the things that will very soon begin to manifest. We are already seeing the veil lifting partially. Many of the churches of replacement theology and outside the fullness of the Spirit are perhaps the greatest hindrance to the work of God in this regard. Great, exciting times lie right ahead for the true church.

The spectacular Samson, David & Goliath:

Samson was Hebrew Nazirite, which means, “separated and dedicated.” Although he was a bit of wild radical, he is a type of Israel, and is in fact counted as one of the righteous heroes of faith in Hebrews 11:13, with David, Noah, Joseph and others.

Samson was a Hebrew but he broke the covenant vows and married a non-Jew – twice.

Samson’s mother, Manoah was barren and unable to reproduce. One day God appeared to her and promised to give her a son. This son, Samson, would be the one to deliver the Jews from the Philistines (a type of the modern Palestinians). He made a vow with God never to drink wine or reveal the secret of his strength.

He then married Delilah, a Philistine who was tasked by her people to find the hidden secret to Samson’s strength.

●The name “Delilah” means “feeble” and also “night or darkness.”

●The name “Samson” means “sun child” or “child of the sun.” (Strong’s H8123) It means the one who brings light into the darkness. So here we have “darkness” married to “light.” Not on! (John 1:5, John 12:35-36)

Interestingly, as soon as Delilah deceitfully discovered the source of Samson’s power – his long hair, and cut it off, his power was gone. He then had his eyes gouged out by the Philistines, leaving him blind and powerless.

The blind man, Samson sees God one last time and brings the house down!

The big lesson in this story is that God’s plans for Israel will endure. Israel / Samson’s sin of breaking covenant led to blindness. The Philistines / Palestinians want the secret of Israel’s success. Israel is in covenant relationship with God – not the offspring of Esau. (Arabs)

Israel’s ultimate success will be to bring the house down on the Palestinians. They will receive God’s spiritual sight and power too, to complete the final act.

Breaking God’s covenant leads to spiritual blindness. Israel will break covenant and make a new one with the antichrist, causing many of them to serve Satan in their blindness.

It will take seven years (the tribulation period) for the whole “house to be brought down.”

Israel / Samson will finally destroy the Palestinians / Arabs. (Esau.)

Jews will be fooled by the greatest false prophet ever and annul the covenant of peace that exists between God and themselves with a new seven-year covenant made with Satan. That act is one of the main causes of the tribulation period. But at that time our Lord will open the eyes of the repentant, remnant Jews.

There is so much more in the story of Samson relating to end-times and the Jews. But there is also much with profound meaning in the story of David and Goliath.

● “David:” Strong’s H1732 means “beloved.”

● “Goliath:” Strong’s H1540 “Golyath,” Meaning: “Splendour”

He found favour with his world who thought he was “splendid” in his killing and making war.

Goliath, the Philistine came from Gaza. He was six cubits tall. He had a spear weighing six hundred shekels. He had six items of armour = 666

Interestingly the world has sided with the “splendid one” (666) against Israel. What a stupid world!

This “splendid” evil man had one objective, which was to destroy the children of Israel. That didn’t work out too well for him did it!

Israel, here comes the answer:

Jeremiah 15:19-21 “If you return (repent), then I will bring you back. You shall stand before Me and I shall take out the precious from the vile, You shall be as My mouth. Let them return to You, but you must not return to them. (Nations) I will make you, to this people, a fortified bronze wall, and they will fight against you, but they shall not prevail against you, for I am with you to save you and deliver you, says the Lord. I will deliver you from the hand of the wicked and I will redeem you from the grip of the terrible.”

Isaiah 42:16 “I will bring the blind by a way they did not know; I will lead them in paths they have not known, I will make darkness light before them and crooked places straight.”

Ezekiel 36:31 “You (Israel) will remember your evil ways and your deeds that were not good; and you will loathe yourselves in your own sight, for your iniquities and abominations.”

This verse above speaks of repentance coming to Israel. That will be the big thing that will cause the veil to lift. It will bring spiritual light and sight!

tele-mix-words

The nation born in a day:

The “nation born in a day” (Isaiah 66:8) is a reference to Israel becoming a nation in a day in 1948. But it has prophetic implications and a double reference to Israel being saved in a day or at least very quickly in the near future.

Isaiah 66:7-10 “Before she travailed, she gave birth; before her pain came, she delivered a male child. Who has heard of such a thing? Shall the earth be made to give birth in one day? Shall a nation be born in a day? For as soon as Zion travailed she gave birth to her children. ‘Shall I bring to the time of birth, and not cause delivery?’ says the Lord. Rejoice with Jerusalem and be glad with her...”

Zechariah 3:9 “...I will remove the iniquity of that land (Israel) in one day.”

Isaiah 26:17-18 “As a woman with child is in pain and cries out in her pangs, when she draws near the time of delivery, so have we been in Your sight, O Lord...we have as it were, brought forth wind; we have not accomplished any deliverance in the earth, nor have the inhabitants of the earth fallen.”

These three verses above all speak of Israel and not the church as the Revelation 12 signers teach! All you have to do is read them and the surrounding context!

Romans 10:19-21 “I will provoke you (Jews) to jealousy by those who are not a nation. I will anger you by a foolish nation...I was found by those who did not seek Me (church): I was made manifest to those who did not ask for Me (church), but to Israel He says: All day long I have stretched out My hands to a disobedient and contrary people.”

I’ve mentioned this many times, but because it’s relevant now, here’s the short version: What could it be that makes the Jews jealous and angry at the same time? The church is most certainly implied in the verse.

Could it be that the rapture of the church makes the Jews suddenly jealous and angry? I don’t know what else fits the bill!

They call themselves, and rightly so, God’s chosen people. And at the rapture God leaves them behind! That will make them jealous and angry at the same time!

This will be part of the reason for the great veil-lifting. Their hearts will very quickly be broken and soften in repentance!

A possible scenario:

Romans 11:25-26 “I do not desire brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery (dispensation change) lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. And so, all Israel will be saved.”

Think about this: When the last Gentile has come in, that’s the end of the church dispensation and the start of Daniel’s final seventy weeks (years). That of course, would presume a pre-tribulation rapture.

What does the term, “has come in” mean? It is Strong’s G1525, “Eiserchomai.” One of the meanings is: “Entrance into a new sate or condition.”

Do you see it? Is this verse, which has been simply read over so many times, also speaking of a pre-tribulation rapture and the close of one dispensation to start another?

I think so!

Is this verse saying that the salvation of the Jews will go into high gear as soon as the rapture has occurred? It most certainly could!

Israel will have to repent for the covenant they will make with the antichrist:

***Isaiah 28:15 “We (Israel) have made a covenant with death, and with Sheol (hell) we are in agreement. When the overflowing scourge (tribulation) passes through it will not come near us (peace treaty) for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood we have hidden ourselves.”

This verse above is one of the most profoundly tragic utterances of a people ever! It is an admission of total defeat, being totally deceived, paving their way to hell by their own word! The Jews thought that by making a new covenant with this deceiver, they would escape the tribulation and have peace!

Here is God’s reply:

***Isaiah 28:16-18 “Behold I lay in Zion a stone for a foundation (Messiah), a tried stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation...Your covenant with death (verse 15) will be annulled and your agreement with Sheol (hell) will not stand; when the overflowing scourge passes through, then you will be trampled down by it.”

Amazingly, our Lord says that the covenant they made will be annulled, but they will go through the tribulation and suffer greatly.

You don’t make peace with the devil!

There are many in Israel who will not repent for breaking God’s covenant and making a new one with Satan, but many will and they will be that “remnant” who will be saved in the tribulation.

The speed of recovery of sight!

Taking numerous verses into account we see that the restoration of “sight” to the Jews of their Messiah happens initially very quickly – in one day. It then continues through the tribulation period.

●We see a “nation born in a day.” (Isaiah 66:8) ●We see: “I will remove the iniquity of that nation in one day.” (Zechariah 3:9) ●We see: All Israel will be saved as the last Gentiles comes in. (Romans 11:26) ●We see something occurring suddenly to cause the Jews to be jealous and angry at the same time. (Romans 10:19-21)

The rapture of the church would most certainly fulfil all of these requirements in a flash!

That would cause instant repentance amongst the remnant Jews and then God completely removes the veil of blindness.

Remember the speed of the rapture? Well that’s how quickly this whole stage will change.

They will be clean:

Ezekiel 36:25-27 “I will sanctify My great name, which has been profaned among the nations, which you (Israel) have profaned in their midst. The nations shall know that I am the Lord, when I am hallowed in you before them. I will take you from among the nations and gather you out of all countries, and bring you into your own land. Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean; I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols. I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you...I will put My Spirit within you...”

Ezekiel 36:33-35 “Thus says the Lord God, ‘On the day that I cleanse you from all your iniquities, I will also enable you to dwell in the cities, and the ruins shall be rebuilt...So they will say, ‘This land has become like the garden of Eden...”

Jeremiah 33:8 “I will cleanse them from all the iniquity by which they (Jews) have sinned against Me, and I will pardon their iniquities...”

The shock-effects of the rapture combined with the repentance of the Jews will be their greatest, most important event ever. It will change them, empower them and set them on fire for our God and Saviour.

The power of repentance will create sudden cleanliness and holiness.

Finally

Isaiah 25:8 “He will swallow up death forever and the Lord God will wipe away tears from all faces. The rebuke of His people, He will take away from all the earth. The Lord has spoken.”

Amos 9:9 “I will shake the house of Israel among all nations as grain is shaken in a sieve, but not one kernel will fall to the ground.”

Bear in mind that Christian Zionists and those with a heart for Israel, are working with God to bring sight to the Jews, while the churches of replacement theology are working with Satan, in their own blindness to keep the Jews blind!

Beloved brethren, we are on the verge of dramatic times. Yes I know I’ve said that so many times, but it is drawing ever closer!
