Edition 12 - The Prophetic Scroll

This website is distinctly Messianic, comprising the Abrahamic expression of faith, which is to the Jew and the Gentile with a Hebraic character. We affirm the fullness of absolute truth contained in the Bible, embracing the cross and identifying with the convocations of the Lord as seen in the Feasts, the Sabbath and Passover. We reject the legalism of many in the Messianic movement. We reject the Babylonian Pagan traditions of the church. We consider all people Jews and Gentiles and those in all churches who are truly born of the Spirit of the living God to be one family. We reject institutional organised denominationalism (division). We foresee a great falling away of much of the church in these days, while at the same time a great restoration of part of the church. We affirm and identify with God's plan and call to the Jewish people in these days and will support and stand with them as future brothers and sisters. We stand happily with pre / mid/ and post tribbers. Our slant is cautiously pre-trib, but hey, post tribber...you're still family! Today much error has been added to Christendom and much truth has been removed. The Prophetic Scroll's aim is to deal with these issues and assist you on your road to glory.

I was saved in 1976 and became extremely interested in Bible prophecy, being an ex war-correspondent and photographer. My calling and aim is to share the dramatic and all-important issues of prophecy relating to our day. This is a calling to unfold and share the wisdom of God as contained in His word. There is also much teaching in these pages for your heart. It’s not all prophecy! Please study these things further yourself and understand that the format is non-exhaustive. Please search the scriptures to “see if these be true.” This is a "watchman" and Bible prophecy teaching website.

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:

Critical times:

All rebellion to God is sin. All unrighteousness is sin (1 John 5:17). All that is not of the faith is sin. (Romans 14:23) So, all rebellion to God is sin. But here is the shocking comparison:

Rebellion is as witchcraft. (1 Samuel 15:23) Rebellion to God is the religion of unredeemed Adam. It occurs in its most dangerous form of witchcraft, hidden in the church. Church witches...yikes!

If you as a believer remain in rebellion to the legitimate authority of God you will come under the spell of witchcraft.

Witchcraft is the attempt to control people by the use of illegitimate means.

There are only two sources of power in the universe. One is of God and the other is the illegitimate power of the devil. There is no third force.

The cross is the only sin-killer known to man. There is no other. The cross of Calvary is the only sin-killer and power-giver, wrapped up in one! The cross kills sin at its root and gives resurrection life and power.

It is Satan who tries to remove or obscure the cross so that his main characteristics and fruits – sin, can rule. If you get rid of the cross, you can’t get rid of sin. You can only deny its existence or presence by renaming it and calling it, acceptable.

Satan, in the form of the mass-media is an expert at this. He renames sin as good, right and okay. He renames and re-defines error as truth. He is the god of disguised error and sometimes not well disguised at all! Satan is the god of all deception.

The big danger in being a victim of deception is that it marks you. Satan knows that you now have that door open. If you have been badly deceived before you are a potential victim for the next round, when it comes around.

Have you fallen victim to the numerous teachers who present “truth” with extreme manipulative power and their predictions don’t come to pass? Have you fallen victim to new “truths”? If you have, that door is open.

truth-tree

There is nothing wrong with being caught in a deception-trap and then getting out of it. There is nothing wrong with being wrong on something here or there, and then getting right. That’s the key – repentance.

The western world is reaping the fruits of their rebellion to authority on many fronts. Anything goes is the modern mantra! “Discipline”? We don’t need discipline – “Who do you think you are telling us to be disciplined”?

The results of rebellion are no barriers or borders in your life and the devil walks right in. There are no closed doors and you are on a wide road. No restraint opens a million doors to Satan.

The way to safety is through the fear of the Lord! The Bible declares that the “fear of the Lord is clean.” (Psalm 19:9) Many reject the fear of the Lord because they love dirt. They are the true scum of the earth, revelling in the dirt, in rebellion – unrestrained.

This is no small matter. Billions literally, are totally deceived. They live under the power of massive deception. The masses of the poverty-struck nations of Africa, Asia, the Middle East and others nations worship a disguised Satan – the cause of their poverty.

China has the highest percentage of atheists, Japan the second, followed by France, Austria and Iceland and Germany. All the ex-socialist / communist states are largely atheistic.

The masses of these nations usually have a host of other gods that they serve – demon gods.

America on the other hand, has the highest percentage of people, 80%, who claim to be Christians. How true that number is, isn’t the issue. The fruit is a historically rich nation. Smaller nations like Botswana and South Africa have much higher numbers who claim to be Christian, but also have very high levels of witchcraft practice and belief among the unbelieving masses. The UK is down now to 37% who claim to be Christian.

Many people don’t know that they are ignorant or deceived, because there is always a darkness and blindness around them. They need a light to shine in so that they can see. This is where the gospel comes in, evangelism and the true, one and only “Light of the world.”

We are on the verge of some great things. Evangelism will go into high gear. Many will grow hungry for the living God, like never before. The veil of blindness upon the Jews to their Messiah will lift more and more.

But deception will go into high gear too. You need to check your roots, your fruits and your growth! You need to keep devil-doors closed.

There is a powerful, still - invisible connection between the Revelation 12 sign, Nibiru, Israel and the Jews, and these end times. It is only beginning now to take shape. This will involve a new, great deception with the 144,000 of the Revelation, the satanic rod of authority and the supernatural and much more.

I will be shedding light on these as we go forward into these exciting times. I will be warning and fighting many people again.

If you are not a scoffer at error you are in danger of receiving and falling for it. Please do scoff at error, and debunk it, but not from a pride point of view.

Being able to influence the beliefs of others can be a form of control, which makes you feel important. The spiritually weak, who should not be in ministry, do this all the time!

Being able to change people is profoundly serious and gravity-filled. It affects them, obviously, and you if not done the right way. If it is done correctly, all glory goes to our Lord as He is the one who effects the change in people’s hearts.

Truth is a treasure trove of immense value, pure and clean. The truth-tree has deep roots.

There is lasting, enduring strength and power in our Lord only. Obedience to His correctness leads us to increasing perfection.

Shalom † Joel.

●The Glory to be revealed in the creation itself

The Glory which shall be revealed

glorycrownsml

In the late 1600s George Frederic Handel composed one of the most powerful pieces of music ever written and titled it "The Messiah" it contains an incredible track "And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed" He took the title from Isaiah 40:5

Romans 8:18-21 "For I consider that the sufferings of this present age are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us, for the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God...for the creation itself shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God"

Introduction:

In this edition I would like to discuss perhaps the most exciting prophetic subject of all. It is our being changed in a moment in a twinkling of an eye into people of eternal glory...and it's not far off.

These words should bring you hope, encouragement, purpose and reason for living, meaning to life and inspire you to move on, forward with our King of Great Glory!

The greatest regret of all time will be when many people one day find out about these things and how close they were and yet they rejected it all in favour of rebellion to God. The world today including many believers, has no peace, because they are rebels in the face of fast approaching GLORY.

The glory to come:

Firstly, I don't have much to say about the glory of God. It is simply indescribable. Language can't do it justice and the human mind is far too limited to imagine it.

All human beings will get a resurrection body, but only true believers will be able to share Gods glory with Him. All unbelievers will be eternally imprisoned in hell. The bottom line is...whose neighbourhood are you going to hang out in forever?

●The glory to be revealed in believers:

You may wonder why I've chosen those ugly guys in the image below to represent believers. Well, it's simply because salvation gets offered to all. The completion of our salvation transforms us physically into something glorious, wonderful, spectacular, beautiful and new.

2 Corinthians 4:17 "For our light affliction which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory."

It's often good to set your sights into the future, if only for a short while. It gives you perspective. A little while ago I was in one of the most amazing deserts on this earth...the Namib on the west coast of Africa. (There are some pictures of it in the "Gods Garden" section. One night I lay for many hours in the dunes just looking at the night sky and imagining the glory that is to come. It was an incredible experience!

1Corintians 15:40-44 "There is one glory of the sun and another of the moon and of the stars, all differ from one another, so also is the resurrection of the dead"

This verse (above) makes it very clear that we will all differ from each other in the resurrection. Some will scrape into a Godly eternity by the skin of their teeth, others will have a reward state that will be spectacular. Our rewards which will set us apart from each other for ever are described as wood, hay, stubble or gold, silver, precious stones, which are all hit by the fire of Gods judgement. The first three will leave a puff of smoke while the others are refined by fire and will live on.

Yes of course we will all be equal in terms of salvation, but what you and I do with our lives now in respect to Gods plan for us, will determine our eternal glory!!

One of the rewards, that never ceases to amaze me is the 'crown of righteousness' given only to those that "look for His coming"...Don't you dare ever tell me not to get into this end time stuff!! Actually, I have nothing but the utmost contempt for all those pastor / teachers out there who are in love with the ways of the world and anti -eschatology!

Philippians: 3:21 "He will transform our lowly body, that it may conformed to His glorious body..."

The above verse indicates that the sort of body we will be given will be similar to that of our Messiah after His resurrection. How exciting is that! He could travel at the speed of thought, walk through walls, appear here or there. You could touch Him, He could eat and on top of this we will have full, complete knowledge of all things just like Him. Ahhhhh the pain in my back, knee and neck will be gone forever!

We will be able to be and exist in the dimensions of the physical as well as the spiritual. We'll be able to transcend the dimensions of time and space.

The most outrageous, farfetched and stretched science fiction will have nothing on this, nothing at all. This puts that to shame in comparison.

Colossians 3:4 "When Christ who is our life appears, then we also will appear with Him in glory". Bring it on, bring it on!

●The glory to be revealed in Israel:

Isaiah 35:1-5 "The desert shall bloom as a rose...the eyes of the blind shall be opened"

It's interesting that the land of Israel is one of the most successful from an agricultural point of view and yet it is water-scarce and full of rocks! Many people (including myself) would say that something supernatural is on the go. It's just the start though.

Isaiah 62:2-4 "The Gentiles shall see your righteousness and kings your glory and you will be called by a new name... You will also be a crown of glory in the hand of our Lord. You shall no longer be termed forsaken"

Unfortunately the above verse will come about after much suffering, but it's coming. In fact we are now in the early stages of the new birth of Jews.

Isaiah 44:23 "Sing O heavens for the Lord has done it...break forth into singing you mountains, forest and every tree. For He has redeemed Jacob and glorified Himself in Israel."

The above verse is yet future in its complete fulfilment, but we are in the fore-runner period now...exciting times indeed!

●The glory to be revealed in nature:

Romans 8:21,22 "The creation itself will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God...The whole of the creation groans with birth pangs of labour together until now"

I am a mad bushman at heart and have spent much time in some of the most beautiful wild places on this earth. But there is always a sense in me that this was not the way it was supposed to be. I can only imagine what the natural world will be like after the curse on nature is lifted. It was lifted from a positional point of view on the cross, but nature's full salvation, like ours, still lies ahead.

Isaiah 51:3 "The wilderness shall be like Eden"

The earth will be restored to the way it was in Eden, before the fall of man. Adam's fall brought down all creation with it. The millennium period will see all of this completed.

Isaiah 11:6-9 "The wolf shall lie down with the lamb, the leopard shall lie down with the young goat, the calf and the lion together and a young child shall lead them...for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea."

On many occasions I've watched a lion tear into its prey and devour the poor animal. It's quite a sight. This is normal now, but according to the verse above, a big change is coming!

Isaiah 32:15 "The wilderness becomes a fruitful field, then justice will dwell in the wilderness."

I have a passionate hatred for cruelty to animals or injustice on any level to the indefensible. Thank God for the above verse!

Job 39:8 "The range of the mountains is His pasture and He searches after every green thing"

God is green, declares the above verse! Yes I know the green movement is new age and filled with all sorts of evil, but there is a truth in the midst of 'green'! Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater!

Revelation 22:3 "And there shall be no more curse..."

The cow dung choice:

If I were to slap you in the face with a hand full of hot steaming cow dung I don't think you'd be too happy! The verse below compares the things of the world with cow dung (original word). This is the desire of the world...pure cow dung in comparison to the coming glory!

Philippians 3:8 "I count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ...for whom I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as dung, that I may gain Christ."

2 Corinthians 4:4 "...whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who did not believe , lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them."

What an incredible tragedy that the world at large is blinded, misguided and deceived by its god into a life of futility, while right before them, so very close is glory indescribable.

I always think of this when seeing a funeral of an unbeliever. There is so much dark, gloomy, hopeless despair, while a funeral of a true believer although sad for the moment has an air of victory to it!

Conclusion:

Revelation 21:4,5 "And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying and there shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away...Behold I make all thing new"

Revelation 5:12 "Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power riches and honour and glory and blessing"
