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.

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 deception debacle:

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...having their conscience seared.”

In the last week alone, I’ve had some incredible dealings with some of the most shocking deceptions ever – all in one week! Some of them are popular beliefs which are spreading.

●There is a growing group of insane Christians who believe that the earth is flat.

●There are a growing number within the Messianic community who believe that Yeshua / Jesus is the antichrist.

●There is a growing group of insane Christians, who believe the Nibiru deception. They have re-appeared after being in the background for a while.

Christian Flat earthers think it’s their basic rights to believe the earth is flat. Not in my presence they don’t! They must repent fast or get totally out of my life in all ways in an instant. The problem with them is, not only do they believe in a flat earth, but mock and come against us who believe that the earth is a sphere. I tell you – some people need to be smacked right off their feet!

The big problem with flat earthers is that they make a mockery of the gospel and Christians. You do not have a right as a believer to believe what you like.

Jesus is the antichrist. This is an infuriating deception going around. The story is: This group within the Messianic community believe that we must come under the law (Torah). In the Bible, these were the Judaisers and sought to kill our Lord because He did not obey their law their way. For them the law has become sacrosanct and equals salvation.

No one who mixes law and works with faith and grace is of God. It always produces legalism (which is as witchcraft) and deception.

Yeshua offers salvation without keeping a string of legalistically imposed laws. So, in their eyes, He has replaced the law and is therefore the antichrist! What cursed blasphemy and deception. To further explain their cursed heresy, they believe that Yeshua was a good man but not God in the flesh!

If you want more on this subject, see the link on the right hand side headed “Salvation” and the section, “Under the law or not” in the “Teachings” button at the top.

The Nibiru deception, a brief explanation (again): They believe that this mysterious, nowhere to be found planet will suddenly appear and strike the earth. Amazingly, they know this without knowing where the planet is, what its speed or trajectory is. So if they know that it will hit the earth, they must have outside sources of information, apart from science, and astronomy and mathematics.

And they do! If you look it up you’ll see the source is pure witchcraft – Satan himself. The story is that this planet visited the earth long ago, offloaded a group of beings, who became the human race, and is now about to re-appear and hit the earth.

Many occultists are involved in all of this. I think the most insane thing I saw, was from a pure Jezebel with a YouTube ministry who predicted that Nibiru would hit the earth this last Christmas day, but that it would be okay because the rapture would happen just before on that day.

Interestingly, she has not repented, nor apologised and still puts out bucket loads of cow dung! She is a modern false prophet – to be avoided at all costs.

Yes, the Bible speaks of meteors and asteroids hitting the earth, but well into the tribulation period and they are not called Nibiru!

Many people can’t see their own deception, because they don’t want to. They believe their lie.

Here are a few shocking verses:

1 Corinthians 11:19 “There must (will be) factions among you, that those who are approved (genuine) may be recognised (identified) among you.”

2 Timothy 3:13-14 (Amp) “Evil men and imposters will grow worse and worse, deceiving and leading astray others, being deceived and led astray themselves. But as for you continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them...”

And another shocker:

Matthew 18:7 “Woe to the world because of offences! Offences must come, but woe to the one by whom the offences come!”

The word “offences” here is Strong’s G4625, “Skandelon”, meaning: Trap in sin, snare or stumbling block.

Curses at work:

A person prone to deception is generally under a curse. That doesn’t mean every bit of error or minor, temporary deception is a result of a curse. I’m referring to people who constantly fall into deception. They are attracted to it like a magnet.

False doctrine and deception go hand in hand, feeding off cursed sources.

There is always a domino effect with false doctrines. They knock-on and affect other doctrines.

People under a curse generally can’t or won’t take correction. They attack you when you try to correct them. They attack the hand the feeds them help.

Galatians 4:16 “Have I now become your enemy because I bring you the truth,”

Defending deception makes you one with it. You must flee from it – absolutely. Otherwise it will get worse and more deeply entrenched, because that’s the way a curse works.

Here are some of the evidences of a curse at work in a believer’s life:

●They are prone to deception and false doctrine and the inability to see it. ●They are unstable and lack of endurance. ●They have recurring mental or physical sickness. ●They have a regular breakdown in relationships. ●They consistently fail in employment, finances and provisions. ●They suffer from depression, stress and torment. ●They participate in the occult. ●They are involved with idolatry and have idols in their home ●They are involved with various forms of witchcraft, divination, and fortune-telling...And much more!

A person under a curse will often think he is a perpetual victim and that everyone is always against him trying to obstruct him, when in reality it’s the individual himself who is to blame.

Proverbs 28:1 “The wicked flee when no one pursues.”

Here is a very powerful, simple, but enormous truth: If you want to find our Lord, and be safe from deception, believe first! You must believe then you will see. If you come looking for truth within a huge pile of other “truths” and errors – you will never find the truth. You will forever be half-baked. Set your heart and mind to believe the truth as you come looking for it.

For example: 2+2=4. If you set your heart to believe that the answer is truth even before you find it, you will find it. If you believe that 2+2 may =4 or 5 or 7. You will always be a doubter.

Hebrews 11:6 “Without faith it is impossible to please God, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”

The original words of the verse below are wonderfully insightful! “Inclining the ear” means to bow down to the source of the sound, so you hear it clearly! There is action involved. It’s like cupping your hand on your ear, so you can hear clearly.

If you bow your ear and your head and your heart to our Lord’s voice, exclusively – you will hear!

Proverbs 22:17-18 “Incline your ear and hear the words of the wise, and apply your heart to my knowledge; for it is a pleasant thing if you keep them fixed upon your lips, so that your trust may be upon the Lord...”

Shalom † Joel.

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"
