________________________________________

The calls for a new world order and a new form of currency are growing almost daily now. What is happening is that this is "priming" the world to accept it when it becomes a major move of the devil. After all, look how often it has been spoken of and look at how many world leaders support it! Perhaps what is most shocking is that nobody so much as raises an eye- brow anymore. This says to me that, as in the days of Noah, untold millions or even billions are on the very brink of hell.

I outlined this in a previous edition, so I'll just briefly explain again. Building a new world order of peace is exactly what the Babylonians tried to do. God destroyed it than and will do so again, only this time the coming destruction will be a lot more widespread. The Bible shows that this new world order will work initially, but then all hell will break out further down the line. You need to build God's way and using His plans. Peace without the Prince of Peace at the helm will never endure!

The soon coming Temple:

Before we go on let me dismiss a myth being taught in many churches now. This dangerous deception is actually part of the whole "replacement theology" doctrine, which in a nutshell presumes that the church had replaced Israel and as such there is no place for Israel and the Jews besides them becoming part of the church.

No sir! God has a wonderful plan for both Jew and gentile that has distinctly different characteristics.

Many churches teach that God has no need of another temple, because we the church are that temple. They go on to teach that there is no need for the re-introduction of temple sacrifices, because our Messiah was the sacrificial lamb.

Yes true we are living temples and He was our once for all sacrifice, but we need to understand the prophetic scriptures. The Bible declares that God will bring the Jews back to the land of Israel first in their blindness and then this veil of blindness will be lifted and they will see that their Messiah has indeed paid the full price for redemption.

Besides this the re-introduction of sacrifices in the Temple may be a backward looking Holy convocation similar to our communion. We break the body and drink the blood of our Messiah in communion, but we do this as a convocation looking back to the full and complete work of our Messiah. No we don't believe that the actual breaking of bread and drinking of wine saves us. It was His sacrifice that saves us. In a similar way this could be what will be meant by the re-introduction of sacrifices in the coming temple.

Today there 12 groups working in preparation for the rebuilding. Even genetic line testing has been done to verify those that would become the priests. God anointed Aaron and his sons to be the priests. Aarons family name was HaCohen. Today the Cohen lineage has been traced back to Aaron!

They have already re-instituted the Sanhedrin, just recently. The job of the Sanhedrin will be to decide on the exact location of the new temple and to oversee the entire process.

Preparations for the coming temple to be built on the Temple Mount are well under way. In fact every item to be used has already been made and is simply waiting for the day. Here are some pictures from the Temple Institute of some of these items. On the left is David's harp, then is the pure gold Menorah (60kgs of pure gold) and inset is the pure gold crown (tzitz) just completed, to be worn by the High Priest in the temple. All the other temple items, implements, Holy vessels, garments etc have been made perfectly according to Jewish law. They can be seen on the Temple Institute's web site.

The Ark of the Covenant was the only object in the Holy of Holies in the temple. There are a dozen stories around of what happened to it. I think the most probable is that which is upheld by the Temple Institute, who say that after King Josiah had it removed fearing it's capture, it was hidden in a chamber deep beneath the Temple Mount. They maintain that its exact location is known.

An exact replica of the Ark of the covenant:

The Temple Mount: 

Could this be a before and after situation? Here is an artist's mock-up of the new temple (below). Note the golden gate at the extreme right of the wall. This is the gate which the Bible says will be closed until the Messiah comes and walks through it into the temple at His second coming. The golden gate has been sealed shut for hundreds of years. The Muslims did this believing that this would prevent this portion of scripture from being fulfilled! The top picture is of the current dome of the rock on the Temple Mount. The bottom picture is the artists impression of the soon-coming temple.

I think what is interesting about both of these pictures is that they have a very stormy sky! We are going to see a lot more big storms over this issue!

The current dome of rock has the words "God has no Son" around the inside, cast in stone.

Ps125:2,3 "The sceptre of wickedness shall not rest on the land allotted to the righteous forever."

Today the world's attention is pointing to and zooming down from Israel to Jerusalem to the Temple Mount. This will be a growing centre of conflict, ultimately resulting in the manifestation of the Glory of God

There is of course one remaining major issue at stake, with the potential for a major conflict and this is the exact location of the new temple. This will be a major obstacle, because of Muslim domination of the Temple Mount today, but it's worth remembering that God has worked side by side with Israel on many occasions in the face of major odds and obstacles. The story of David and Goliath comes to mind.

Goliath the 666 enemy:

Oh, and by the way that story is very interesting. Goliath was six cubits tall, had six pieces of armour and had a sword weighing six hundred shekels. In terms of type and shadow, Goliath who represents the satanic enemies of Israel was therefore attached to 666, while tiny (in comparison) David, who represents Israel won the victory, with God's help. The modern David and Goliath battle has not ended, but I know won and who wins in the end!

All that remains of the last temple (above)...the Western Wall on the side of the Temple Mount.

What the Bible says about the coming third Temple:

Amos 9:11,12 and repeated in Acts 15:16 (relating to the restoration of Israel in the last days) "I will raise up the tabernacle of David which has fallen down and repair its damage. I will raise up the ruins and rebuild it as in the days of old. vs15 "I will plant them in their land and no longer shall they be pulled up from the land I have given them, says the Lord."

Revelation 11:1,2 speaking of the soon coming tribulation period, "Rise and measure the temple of God and the alter and them that worship therein, but the court that is outside the temple do not measure it, for it has been given to the gentiles and they will tread the holy city underfoot for forty two months"

2Thes 2:1,4 Let no one deceive you by any means, for that day will not come unless the falling away comes first and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition...who sits as God in the temple of God showing himself that he is God." vs 8 "And then that lawless one will be revealed whom the Lord will consume with the brightness of His coming"

Isaiah 2:1-3 "Now it shall come to pass in the latter days, that the mountain of the Lords house shall be established on the top of the mountains and shall be exalted above the hills and the nations shall flow to it, many shall say come and say let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob..."

The Bible teaches that the antichrist will declare himself as God in the temple. It also teaches that our Lord, at His second coming will go straight to the Temple and destroy the antichrist. Believe what you like, there will be a temple on the Temple Mount soon...one of the great signs of the soon coming of our Messiah.

What is very important here is that we are not far off from these things being fulfilled. As with previous editions, I am drawing your attention to the urgency of the time. You can disregard all of these things...at your own peril!

It really is amazing how so many things are dove-tailing together and starting to fall into place like a giant jigsaw puzzle. The picture is becoming more and more clear and the time is getting shorter. Please go back and look at previous editions and note how many prophetic things are lining up.

The world today is being primed for the soon arrival of its lord and god, Satan himself, who will manifest as the antichrist  god of peace. Thankfully there are more and more believers being primed for the soon arrival of our great God  King and Saviour!

The powers of deception are great and growing. We are fast entering a period which will see a growing  outpouring of the spirit of antichrist and the Spirit of our Lord, King and Saviour. I appeal to you from the bottom of my heart, don't underestimate the evil powers at work and do soften your heart to our Lord and His word and ways.

Kind regards and many blessings...Shalom and hang in there!

●Israeli PM Netanyahu to make major policy speech within days. Hamas to make major policy announcement next week.

●Ahmadinejad wins Iran election.

Iran: The Iran election results were no surprise. Ahmadinejad is now back at the helm and ready to fulfil his ill-fated destiny. He believes that he is the forerunner to the coming of the Islamic Mahdi who will unite the Islamic world and form an army to defeat all the enemies of Islam.

His mystical pre-occupation with the so-called coming of the Mahdi and his desire to eliminate Israel places him in the same position as the Nazi dictator. This makes him an extremely dangerous character who could trigger all sorts of prophetic events.

Iran's Ahmadinejad seen skipping through the fields after his election win:

The headlines I have chosen above are only a small snippet of thousands all declaring much the same thing. When you see one or two headlines you may miss the significance and if you don't know at least the basics of Bible prophecy, you will definitely miss the significance.

I have deliberately chosen and presented these headlines like this, because they make the significance a lot clearer. It is not just this presentation though, there are so many other things all dove-tailing together now, that the situation is becoming a little more than URGENT. (Have a look at the headlines in previous editions as well, they add more weight to these issues).

America, be warned your days are numbered! "Mene, mene, tekel, upharsin" These strange words became known as the "writing on the wall " from God warning of Babylon's soon demise. Daniel interpreted them as, "God has numbered your days and brought you to an end, you are weighed in the balances and found wanting" Mighty unsinkable Babylon came to an end just after this.

Aspects of America could be described as modern Babylon. It's judgement is long overdue because it's modern Christians have become tolerant of all things evil. In the name of tolerance tyranny now awaits them. There has been one and only one reason why the USA has remained largely free, prosperous and secure in the face of their evil, and this is simply because they have been a bit more than a friend to Israel. They have the stood by Israel in their six wars since independence and in many other ways. God has blessed America for being Israel's primary friend and He has stayed long overdue execution for all their incredible evils. (God says if you bless Israel you will be blessed and if you cures Israel you will be cursed)

Now the story is changing before our eyes and it is changing fast! The one thing that has been the salvation of the USA is now being eroded. America, the writing is on the wall, for you now!

America's Obama is shifting allegiances in the name of world peace. He is not only turning his back on Israel, as he tries to befriend the Arab world, he is actually obstructing Israel's own future.

Another thing worth remembering is that peace means different things to different people. Peace to the world of Islam means, an Islamic world. Peace to Islam means surrender of everything that is not Islamic. Islam believes it is the final work of God and He is now finished with Moses and Jesus and therefore the Jews and the Christians have no legitimacy. You don't believe me? I dare you to research it!

Peace with the true, living God comes from knowing Him, being known by Him and following Him and His ways.

Don't get me wrong, I love America. It has done more for the world in terms of science, technology, medicine, evangelism, and just about everything you can think of, it's evils aside. But all of this is about to come crumbling down as they run headlong into the fury of God. No it won't happen in five minutes, but time is short!

The Bible declares that Gods anger will arise as the nations try to divide the land of Israel. This will bring war and not peace! (Joel 3) and dividing or "moving" Jerusalem will bring all nations into conflict (Zachariah 13)

It's not just America though, in fact they are late arrivals. Most of the nations of the world are now on this deadly road as they unite to pressurise Israel into a satanically inspired soon coming disaster. The nations of the European Union were the main instigators of the world's roadmap to peace, and have now been joined by the US.

Isn't it interesting that the EU headquarters as seen from above is in the shape of the satanic broken cross or so-called peace sign:

If you don't already know, let me remind you that this sign is not the peace -sign it is the hell-sign! It originates from satanic worship and occult practices where the arms of a cross are broken, representing rejection of the true cross and it's meaning.

The roadmap to peace is the roadmap to war:

Why then is the world's "roadmap" the path to war and not peace for the Middle East? Well, it's simple...God's word declares the land of Israel (all of it) was given by Him in an "eternal" covenant to the Jews. The covenant, which includes the blood line of our Jewish Messiah comes through Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and not Ishmael (Arabs). Part of the plan of God for the close of the age involves the Jews in their land, coming to salvation and being the bearer of truth that they were originally called to be.

There is a often miss-applied portion of scripture in Romans 11 which speaks of the calling of God being without repentance. The correct application and context (derived from previous verses) is referring to the calling of God to Israel. It will be completed!

In the Bible we see the Abrahamic, Davidic covenants and others all with reference to the Jewish people in their God-given land and it's all for God's own grand purpose. Modern man's roadmap to peace is perhaps one the greatest deceptions of our day and flies in the face of God's choice.

Just have a look at these incredible portions of scripture relating to the land of Israel and Gaza! Talk about throwing a cat amongst the pigeons!

Joshua 15 speaks of the inheritance of the children of Judah which includes Gaza!

Amos 1:6,7 speaks of the destruction of Gaza because they (Philistines) tried to take it captive. vs13 widens this to include other Arab nations, who "will be destroyed because they tried to enlarge their territory" (The Philistines relate to the Palestinians. In fact in Greek the word Philistinos is the same as Palestinian)

Zech 9:5 and on speaks of the fact that Gaza will be very sorrowful and it further says that God will cut off the "pride of the Philistines"

Judges 2:1,2 "I led you from Egypt and brought you to the land which I swore to your fathers and said I will never break My covenant with you, and you shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land. You shall tear down their alters..."

This amazing portion of scripture foreshadows the terrible and tragic, soon coming peace treaty to be signed between Israel and the person who will be revealed then as the antichrist. This will launch the most severe judgements of God on the world ever known to man called the "tribulation". The first three and a half years will see terrible geological upheavals, with a dangerous socio-political peace and then all hell breaks out in every sphere for the remaining three and half years.

Ezekiel 11:17-19 "I will gather you from the nations and peoples where you have been scattered and I will give you the land of Israel...then I will put a new spirit within them and take out the stony heart out of their flesh"

A frightening portion of scripture declares that the person that will become the antichrist will "divide the land of Israel for gain" Dan11:39 This will most probably be related to the coming peace treaty.

Ps 83:4, "Come let us cut them off from being a nation, that the name of Israel be remembered no more." Oh yes, we will see!

The world has forgotten that the Bible also declares in Zechariah 51:19,20 "Israel is the tribe of His inheritance and you are my battle-axe and weapons of war, with you I will break the nations in pieces"

Zechariah 2:8 Speaking of Israel "He who touches you touches the apple of My eye"

Here is a very interesting snippet of information: The Nazi's tried to destroy the Jews and they were destroyed. The US actually helped in their destruction by putting an end to the second world war with an atom bomb or two. Germany was already finished by this stage, but the US was involved anyway. Very shortly afterwards, the US was involved in the most amazing fulfilment of prophecy by setting up the UN whose, first major act was to pass a resolution recognising a Zionist state...the nation of Israel. Yes that's right! The UN actually gave birth to the Israeli state.

A few days later the Arabs revolted and the war of independence broke out. A small ill-equipped rag- tag army crushed many invading Arab nations. The US came to Israel's aid then and in all the wars since. Israel with the help of God and the US won all six wars against incredible odds.

Now the story is changing fast as the US changes it's tune and the UN, the EU and the rest of the world all turn their backs on Israel.

We are now seeing the futile attempts of the whole world to bring about peace, which will result in catastrophic judgements from God and it's not far off!

Gods roadmap leads through the golden gate of His choosing into peace and glory now and in time to come.

I did say last time that I would present you this time with  a teaching on the "the timing of the coming of our Lord and saviour. It is not quite ready, so you will get it next time.

Kind regards and many blessings...Shalom and hang in there!

May you be blessed of our Lord, Saviour, Father and Great God and be inspired in some way to move forward into the glorious things He has prepared for you.

_______________________________________________

The above headlines are of major importance for various reasons, which I will go into shortly. But firstly the striking thing is that these situations are all happening at the same time and are all of significance prophetically!

Ladies and gentlemen, the situation is becoming more and more important as it unfolds before our eyes. The current series of events in the Middle East are the single most important issues of our day from God's point of view. Do not underestimate what is transpiring right now!

The great tragedy of our time is that very few believers, or churches have any idea or interest in these things at all. It's not even on their radar screens! Most Christians today would see this as just another normal news event.

Let me declare to you what the bottom line is and then we will discuss the details.

The one major over-riding bottom line is that God will not have the land of Israel divided and He will not have the city of Jerusalem divided. This is outlined in His word in numerous places. This is the bottom line and it is God's will. The Bible indicates that this will be ignored and the dividing up will occur soon.

There are two possible soon coming scenarios that will see the land and the city divided, contrary to God's will.

●The first is that Israel itself will finally bow to all the world's pressure and negotiate a peace deal in which the land and the city will be split up.

●The second is that conflict will soon arise with a resulting peace treaty that will divide the land and the city.

Either way the outcome will be the fury and anger of God resulting in cataclysmic events. There are not many occasions in the scriptures where the anger of God is so graphically portrayed. Let's have a look at a few of them:

Ezekiel 28:25, 26 "When I have gathered the house of Israel...then they will dwell in their own land, which I gave to my servant Jacob...they will dwell safely, build and plant, when I execute judgement on all those around them who despise them..."

Zechariah1:15,16  "I am exceedingly angry with the nations at ease...therefore I am returning to Jerusalem with mercy and My house shall be built in it...the cities shall again be spread out...the Lord will again comfort Zion and will again choose Jerusalem."

Ezekiel35:5,6 "Because you have had an ancient hatred and have shed the blood of the children of Israel...therefore says the Lord I will prepare you for blood and blood shall pursue you."

Ezekiel36:2-6 "Because the enemy has said Aha, the ancient heights, the mountains of Israel, have become our possession... I have spoken in my burning jealousy against the nations who gave My land to themselves as a possession...I have spoken in My jealousy and fury, because you have borne the shame of the nations."

Zechariah2: 2-9 "I will make Jerusalem a cup of drunkenness to all the surrounding peoples...and all those who would heave it away will be cut in pieces though all the nations of the earth are gathered against it. It will be in that day that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem"

There are many more portions of scripture dealing with these issues, I have selected just a handful.

Obama (and the rest of the world for that matter) have been insisting and forcing three main demands on Israel. These are; A divided state, a divided Jerusalem and cessation of all so-called settlements. Well, Netanyahu has delivered one half of one of these demands. This is a form of two-state Israel with a demilitarised Palestinian section. The other two are a no-go. There is no way that the Palestinians will accept any part of this and they now say that they will return to terror. (I didn't know that had "left" terror!

We are heading for conflict perhaps on a much larger scale than one would believe. I would not be surprised to see Bin Laden re-emerge now as well.

Equating Zionism with racism and likening the Israeli situation to apartheid South Africa is a powerful way of getting the world to rally behind the Palestinians and further isolate Israel. There is however a big difference between South Africa and Israel. The Israeli situation has God's will, choice and plan for the close of the age directly wrapped up with it. (See previous edition for more on this subject)

The problem with Ahmedinejad is not really on the political level alone. He is a meglo-manic psychopath with visions of messianic grandeur. This makes him an extremely dangerous character.

It is very important to realise that the above situation also places us at an important juncture on the prophetic time- scale map. These events all point to the very soon coming of our Great King of Kings and Lord of Lords!

They point towards great troubles for the world the church and Israel. More importantly they point towards the very soon "lifting of the veil" of spiritual blindness upon the Jews at large. We are already in the forerunner period for this, as untold numbers of Jews see and recognise that their soon coming Messiah is none other than Yeshua Ha'Mashiach (Jesus the Messiah)

Ladies and gentlemen we are entering exciting times! Our Lord and saviour would have you and me be ready!

It is time to examine ourselves, to prepare ourselves and get our lives in order. God is calling us to holiness, prayer and seriousness in our lives.

On a personal note let me share something with you. I worked as a journalist, editor and photographer all my life and covered many wars and conflicts around the world right from as far back as the early 70s I have been shot at, hit once and locked up many times. Today I am not actively involved in those things, but the excitement is still there. The only difference now is that this time period is a little more than exciting. It has eternal implications!

The above picture symbolises the dawning of soon-coming conflict which will affect the whole world.

Don't be like those in the days of Noah and Lot, they carried on life as normal with no interest at all in God's warning of impending judgement and were swept away into eternal hell. Be aware, be watchful and be prepared. We are already in a period where deception is intensifying and the love of many is growing cold!

God is working in the hearts of many who are open to Him. He is preparing a glorious spiritual army. The funny thing is that the army He is preparing is also His bride. I don't know what our Lord's plan is for your life, but I do know that it is filled with purpose, meaning and His own glory!

_________________________________________________

The issues relating to Israel and Jerusalem are of vital importance. Every single prophetic scripture sees Israel in it's land, with Jerusalem under its control. The individual who will become the antichrist kicks off his short, fatal rule from a rebuilt temple in Jerusalem. Our Messiah returns to this temple as well. In a sense it's Israel, Jerusalem, the temple mount and our Messiah...all dove-tailing together and all revealed in the scriptures.

Satan always resists Gods choice and His Word. Its worth bearing that in mind, it will keep you safe from deception!

Obama, the world leader of flip-floppers has backtracked on everything he said relating to support for Israel prior to his election. Pr24:21, "Don't associate with those given to change, their calamity will come suddenly" The once mighty US is already starting to crumble, slowly but surely. Way back in the book of Genesis God outlines what will become His plan and says to the nations: "If you bless Abram (Israel), you will be blessed and if you curse, or come against Abram, you will be cursed"

World pressure continues to build up for Israel to divide part of its land and Jerusalem to make way for a Palestinian state in what the world at large calls "The roadmap to peace." As I have pointed out in previous editions this is the roadmap to war. It will evoke the fury of God and bring judgement on all the nations of the world as they charge hell-bent, down this road to their destruction.

They are about to run headlong into and against God's choosing!

The Bible shows in Zechariah 12 that all the nations of the world will gather to try and divide Jerusalem. It also says in Joel 2 that all the nations of the world will be brought into judgement because they tried to divide up the land of Israel. The context of both of these portions of scripture are clearly in "the last days"

Right now the pressure is rising almost daily as nation upon nation joins this chorus. In the last edition, I reported that the Catholic church has now joined the "roadmap" The above headlines confirm that this is intensifying.

The great tragedy is that many other churches are now going along this satanically inspired roadmap as well. Many churches are complicit by their silence. Jesus declares that if you are not for Me you are against Me!

 The Mandela / Tutu answer: Ex South African president Mandela and his then sidekick Tutu, declared that the answer to the Israel problem is the South African solution. The South African solution was to throw open the country to full democracy and give everyone their rights. This was right. But when it comes to Israel, Mandela said many times that there was no room in this day for a religious (Zionist) state, comparing Zionism to racism. The funny thing is he never said that to the Islam world! Their aim and goal is for an Islamic world order, and it is happening fast.

Land for peace might sound like a reasonable plan, but it's counter to God's plan!

The problem Mr. Mandela, is that Israel is different in that God has chosen it's future and written it down in His Word! He has a specific purpose for Israel and the Jews, which is about to unfold.

Isn't it odd how the whole world goes crazy whenever God makes a choice!

God chose to spread His blessing through Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Jacob had his name changed by God to Israel and through Israel we get to the Jews and our Messiah and all who believe in Him. Jacob's twin Esau produced Ishmael and the Arab people. The Arabs have a separate blessing, which does not include the birth-line of our Messiah or the land of Israel. It seems that the Esau / Ishmael line is still bent out of shape over God's choice.

There is a principle established throughout the Word of God which blesses those that work with God and His choices and purposes. To work against that which God is doing is one sure way to end up in trouble!

The Bible itself gives us the real roadmap to peace. Ps122:6 Instructs us to pray for the peace of Jerusalem. In this day and age, the only way to do this is to pray for the soon coming of our Prince of Peace, who will return soon to Jerusalem, not as the lamb of God, but the Lion!

Ps119:165 says, "Great peace have they who love Your word and nothing causes them to go astray". This is THE roadmap to peace...loving Gods Word and His ways.

I have also used a few headlines highlighting the growing danger with Iran and its dash for nuclear weapons. This nation has been vociferous in its desire to "wipe Israel off the map".

Ps 83 is quite incredible. It says in verse 4, "Come let us cut them off from being a nation, that the name of Israel be remembered no more." If ever there is a portion of scripture that applies to Iran (and some other Arab nations) this is it. It was also THE verse of scripture that related perfectly to the Nazi leader of the holocaust.

Interestingly this passage of scripture was written over 2000 years ago and all those that have tried to wipe Israel off the map have themselves been wiped out and yet Israel stands as a banner testifying to the truth of God's Word!

The soft stance being taken by Obama on Iran will play right into their hands! The problem with radical or extremist Islam is that it sees "soft" as surrender! They will accept this and perhaps even make peace, but it will be part of a calculated strategy to gain ground.

Almost daily the headlines are demonstrating that prophetic things are really speeding up!

The Gabriel Dead Sea Stone:

A recent discovery in the Dead Sea area is the amazing "Gabriel Stone". As you are (or should be) aware the Dead Sea Scrolls have proved the authenticity of the scriptures in particular the Isaiah Scroll, which pre-dates the Christian era and shows that the book of Isaiah is exactly the same today as it was back then.

Well, now we have another archaeological wonder in the Gabriel Stone, which is also being called the Messiah Stone. It is dated around the first century. It was privately kept for some time in Switzerland. The text consists of 87 words in two columns. It has just been published in English for the first time.

It is important because it points towards two concepts of the Messiah. The first is "Messiah Son of David" and the second is "Messiah Son of Joseph"

"Messiah Son of David" refers to a returning Messiah in a blaze of military-like glory, while "Messiah Son of Joseph" refers to a suffering Messiah who died and rose again.

The stone suggests a Jewish-held view of resurrection pre-dating the Messiah. It is called the Gabriel Stone because it refers to Gabriel's vision of an apocalypse and contains various Bible prophecies. It also contains a three-day death and resurrection concept.

Professor Israel Knohl of the Hebrew University says of the stone "It changes the way we look upon Jesus" He says that he "identified a previously unrecognised Jewish notion that the blood of the Messiah is necessary in order to bring about national redemption"

Extra-Biblical things like scrolls, stones, shrouds and the like should never be used as primary sources of knowledge, but are fine as secondary sources if they back up the scriptures.

This stone is most certainly very interesting. I would like to get my hands on it and have it in my lounge! Oh well, I suppose I'll just have to use a copy of it somehow in an art work. By the way, if interested have a look at the art section on the website.

The Greatest Drama of All:

This is a short summary of what will be coming in forthcoming editions:

The Greatest Drama of all was the title that I gave to an audio-visual presentation, which I wrote and produced way back in 1980. It needs very little changing except for some updates and a few style re-writes!

Over the coming months I will present to you excerpts from this all important drama.

I originally wrote this as an unfolding drama in three acts. The first act was the prophetic content of the Old Testament, the second act was the prophetic content of the New Testament and the final act was the culmination of it all into the dramatic time period we are in now and are about to go into! I used the phrase in my introduction, "This is a drama to put a thousand Shakespeares to shame!"

It is vitally important to have all the revealed pieces of the puzzle in their rightful place. This is the way to see the picture clearly!

The tragedy of our day is that many believers sit through the first two acts and then walk out before the final act even starts, saying we're not interested! Little do they know that they are about to become the subject matter of last act!

Some of the content I will present you with includes:

●Interpretation of scripture (already on the website in "Teachings section")

●A plot or overview of the course of the age.

●How the old and new Testament prophecies dovetail perfectly

●The re-gathering of Israel and the plans of God relating to their salvation.

●Gods plan verses man's plans for the future.

●The Christian invented curse of replacement theology and how it robs the Jews of their heritage.

●The restoration of both houses of Israel.

●The Palestinians in prophecy.

●Coming great catastrophes.

●Deception and how to avoid it.

●The enormous danger facing the modern church and how to remain safe and secure.

●Review of the letters to the seven churches from our Lord in The Revelation.

●The timing of the coming of our Messiah (next edition)

 ____________________________________________

In closing this edition here is one of the most incredible paintings by one of the world's most renowned artists. It was done in the 1930s by Marc Chagall and called The Exodus. Chagall began using crucifixion representations in his work during the Nazi Holocaust. He brought a wonderful fresh way of seeing to the art world. He was a Russian Jew, whom many people believe became a believer in our Messiah.

Edition 2.    May 18th 2009

By Joel Joseph

In this edition:

● Website: New warnings for today posted. New teachings posted

●New podcasts and video teachings in Media section soon.

●The pope shocker and the importance of the next pope!

●More Obama shockers

●Interpretation of Scripture

Dear friends,

Firstly a very special welcome to edition 2 of The Prophetic Scroll, may you be blessed of our Lord and inspired in some way to move forward.

Secondly please note that there are new teachings on the website and new warnings for today also on the website.

Lets begin with some recent news headlines from a collection of the world's media. Below this section I will look at the prophetic significance under "summary"

World Watch:

The first item I would like to share with you is a real shocker and unfortunately has enormous implications. It could be the start of a new watershed in world history and will have dramatic effects on the prophetic stage.

The funny thing (actually not funny at all) is that the world's media has largely ignored this except for a few sharp media organisations who have reported this.

It all centres around one statement made by the Obama administration just recently!

●On May 4th the White House linked the resolution of the Iran nuclear crisis to the creation of and birth of a Palestinian state in Israel with part of Jerusalem as a Palestinian state capitol. The Americans informed Israel that if they wanted them (the US) to intervene in Iran's dash to get nuclear weapons, they would have to give up land to the Palestinians!

This amounts to nothing short of political blackmail.

The shocking aspect to this is that it flies in the face of God's revealed will and plan for the land of Israel and the Jewish people in this time period as we move closer to the coming of our Lord and Saviour! God has clearly stated in the book of Joel that "dividing up the land of Israel" will bring war, not peace! It is further revealed in Zachariah that those who try to "move the rock which is Jerusalem will be crushed by it". This portion of scripture reveals that all the nations of the world will be gathered against Jerusalem at this time. There in fact numerous other passages of scripture relating to these things.

●Obama is attempting to throw Israel under the Islamist bus says "In the Days" May14th

●Rabbi to Pope: "Go split Rome". Joseph Gerlitzky, the rabbi of Central Tel Aviv was reported in WorldNetDaily that he was "shocked to hear that the first thing the pope had to say when he landed in Israel was that the Holy Land must be divided to make room for a Palestinian state

The Catholic church now joins the chorus of the world, hell-bent on dividing the land of Israel and Jerusalem:

By JAMAL HALABY – 1 day ago AMMAN, Jordan (AP) — Jordan's king pressed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday to immediately commit to the establishment of a Palestinian state, as he pursues a sweeping resolution of the Muslim world's conflicts with Israel.

●May 14 (Bloomberg) -- President Barack Obama, calling current deficit spending “unsustainable,” warned of skyrocketing interest rates for consumers if the U.S. continues to finance government by borrowing from other countries. “We can’t keep on just borrowing from China,” he said.

●The late, great Milton Friedman
in his classic book prophetically
revealed how Obama's reckless monetary policies will cause hyperinflation and destroy our nation.

Everything Barack Obama, the Federal Reserve, and Congress are doing was predicted in startling detail almost two decades ago by a famous Nobel Prize-winning economist.

His name was Milton Friedman. Though he passed away in 2006, in his prophetic book, Friedman showed how, facing massive deficits, the U.S. government would dramatically increase the money supply; why foreign countries would stop buying our debt; how the Fed would start buying our Treasury bills; and why this would call cause massive inflation. He even predicted that our officials would claim inflation was no problem at all. Amazingly all of this is coming to pass! Make no mistake about it — the Obama administration is embracing massive inflationary deficit spending...The Financial Intelligence Report.

Summary:

I have chosen the above headlines because they all have prophetic significance for today.

The amazingly, exciting thing is that Bible prophecy is being fulfilled before our eyes now, but the tragic thing is that few can see it. Perhaps it is because they don't want to see it.

There is a fast growing move around the world, weather deliberate or not, to isolate Israel. More and more people and organisations are putting pressure on Israel to hand over part of their land and part of Jerusalem to the Palestinians. As I have said above and in edition one, this will bring war not peace. It will ignite the fury of God! This is spelt out in numerous portions of scripture, not just the two I have mentioned above.

Take note from the above headlines that new pressure is being applied on Israel now from the Vatican, Obama, the Jordan King.

We all know that the United Nations are leaders in this, but more and more so-called Christian churches and organisations are also involved in pressure to divide Israel and Jerusalem.

Beware the next Pope:

Firstly let me warn that this is extra-Biblical. In other words, it is not rooted in the Bible, but external events, so although it is very interesting it is "not cast in stone"

In the 12th centaury an Irish Christian prophet named St Malachy had a vision relating to the identity of all the popes, from his day to the last. This prophecy was only released by the Catholic Church recently.

The vision included a short descriptive phrase identifying some characteristics of the succession of popes. The manuscript contains the identity of 112 popes from his day to the last.

There is some controversy around who actually authored the writings, but they are interesting indeed.

The significance of the descriptions for many of the older popes have become lost but not so for the modern popes. The descriptive words for the 108th pope is "Flos Florum (Flower of Flowers) Pope Innocent 11 had a coat of arms that included iris flowers.

The words for the 109th pope is "De Medietate Lunae" (Of the half moon). Pope John Pau1 was referred to as the "beautiful moon" and "white light"

The words for the 110th pope is "De Labore Solis" (of the solar eclipse or toil of the sun) John Paul (the 110th) was born during an eclipse of the sun.

The words for the second last, the 111th is "Gloria Olivae" (The glory of the olives) Pope Benedict, the current pope comes from the Benedict Order, whose symbol is a string of olives.

There is only one more to come and he will be "Peter the Roman" and he will lead his people into terrible apostasy before the coming of the Lord!

The current pope is over 80 years old and according to these prophecies, we have only one more to go. This does dovetail together with many other aspects of prophecy, both Biblical and extra-Biblical. Either way, things are heating up!

Interpretation of scripture:

This is a shorter summary of the new teaching just posted in full on the website under the "Teachings" section.

I don't think there is a more important, magnificent and yet controversial subject around today, especially as it relates to eschatology. (The study of end-time events and surrounding issues)

It affects the lives of untold millions, and will soon affect billions of people. The prophetic Word can give you hope, confidence and security in this evil day of darkness. Interpretation is therefore just as important.

Today the most common argument used by believers and unbelievers alike to downplay the importance of the scriptures and prophecy in particular is..."Its all open to interpretation"

Obviously if it's all open to interpretation then it is not really important at all, because there are so many views out there. It means that anything goes and there are no absolutes. All viewpoints have equal merit, if there are no absolutes and all is variable.

Coming judgement is part of prophecy and if you believe its all open to interpretation then any lifestyle or value system is equally worthy. Hogwash I say!

●The first is the allegorical method, which presumes that prophecy is not literal and is all symbolic. If this is the case then the interpreter is God's editor and can foist into the scriptures any meaning he wants. It is a very dangerous method. Now, of course there are many things in the scriptures that are allegorical. For example our Lord is referred to as "The Lamb of God", This does not mean He is a lamb. He is also referred to as the "Lion of the tribe of Judah" No, He is not a lion. All this means is that these are two attributes of His nature.

The big thing with interpretation of scripture is that you should seek to apply common sense and only apply allegory when it is obvious.

Some people use allegory for everything and put no limit to it. This leaves you in a world of multitudes of opinions and one big mess up.

With the allegorical method of interpretation, the mind of the interpreter becomes the authority and not the God of the Scriptures. The allegorical method appeals to man's pride! Job 41:34 "He (Satan) is king over all the children of pride."

Jer17:5 "Cursed is the one who trust in man"

●The second is the literal method of interpretation. This is right.

Here is the most powerful, unarguable evidence in its favour:

Old Testament prophecies that were fulfilled in Old Testament times were fulfilled exactly and literally, with not one exception. Then we come to the prophecies of the Old Testament which were fulfilled in the New and again we see the same pattern of fulfilment. For example all the prophecies of the coming Messiah in the Old Testament were fulfilled exactly and literally, with not one miss. Some of these were greatly detailed, like "He would be born in Bethlehem". Then we come to the prophecies of both the Old and New Testaments, relating to the second coming and this time period we are in now, and again we see exact literal fulfilment. For example, prophecy declares that Israel would become a nation again and Jerusalem would again be restored to the Jews. Both of these were fulfilled exactly in our time.

A 100% hit rate in literal prophetic fulfilment paints a very clear picture. If you reject this you ARE gambling against immeasurable odds!

There are many other pointers and indications that the literal method of interpretation is the only valid one, that adds up and makes perfect sense. Lets have a look at a few more:

The Bible says that "Our God id not a God of confusion." Furthermore it says that "Satan is the god of confusion" So if you're confused about the subject you know who to blame!

The Bible declares in 1Cor14:8 "If a trumpet makes an uncertain sound, how can you prepare for battle?" The allegorical method is filled with uncertainty and variables!

The literal method gives to each word the exact basic meaning of normal language. It is also called the grammatical-historical method.

The method of interpretation at the time of Christ was undoubtedly the literal. It was only when Satan chose to bring confusion into the scriptures that the troubles and divisions started. I will not go into how it all got going, but essentially it began through a deceiver called Origen, who did much damage to interpretation.

A very important key relating to interpretation relates to you as a believer. The Bible says that "when He the Spirit of truth has come He will lead you into all truth and show you things to come." This implies that you need to be "in the Spirit of truth" to be led into all truth.

Job42:5 puts it this way. "I have heard of You by the hearing of my ear, but now my spiritual eye sees You" This implies that there is more that we need than just ordinary head knowledge. "in Your light we see light" declares the Psalms. And again Job15:8 says "Have you not heard of the secret council of God or do you limit wisdom to yourself?"

The Bible says in Amos3:7 "The Lord does nothing unless he reveals this to His servants the prophets" He has and still is doing exactly this and doing it clearly without ambiguity.

Relating to the time period which the Bible calls the last days, our Lord says in numerous places that you should take heed that no one deceives you, He commands us to know the times and season and tells us exactly how to know the times.

1Pet.4:7 says, "The end of all things at hand, be watchful"

The most important portion of scripture relating to interpretation of prophecy is found in 2nd Peter chapter one. From verse 19 to 21 it says "We have the prophetic word made more sure, which you do well to heed as a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star arises in your hearts; knowing this that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation."

The earlier verses speak about seeing with your eye and hearing with your ear. So now Peter says that there is something even "more sure" than seeing and hearing and it is this recognising that the prophetic word is the most sure thing. The morning star is the planet Venus and it rises in the darkest part of the night indicating that the day is about to dawn. You can see nice and clearly once the day has dawned.

So then, realising that Spirit led interpretation of prophecy and prophecy itself is extremely important, will lead you into clarity an surety (daylight)

1Jn2:2,3 says "He who has this hope within him purifies himself." "This hope" refers to the coming of our Lord, which in other places is referred to as a marriage. Here is the point. If you are aware that the marriage is about to happen, why would you remain a dirty pig? You can't live in true holiness without the active, alive blessed hope of His soon coming within you!

Jesus commands us to know the signs of the times and declares that those who don't are hypocrites. (Mtt16:3) Now, I ask you, how can you know the signs of the times and be ready, if they are all allegorical and open to interpretation?

Here are some general verses of scripture that most certainly apply to interpretation:

Pr.9:10 "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom".

Pr.8:19 "When you seek Me diligently, you will find Me".

Pr 3:32 "His secret counsel is with the upright"

Ps 36:9 "In Your light we see light."

There is a spirit of truth and a spirit of error at work, there is wisdom from above and wisdom from below out there, so be careful, don't receive everything simply because it comes dressed in religiosity!

Beware of this satanically inspired deception all over the place today: 2Peter3:3,4 "Scoffers will come in the last days saying where is the hope of His coming, all things will carry on as normal"

More on this in the "teachings" section on the website.

Kind regards and many blessings...Shalom and hang in there!

The Prophetic Scroll Edition 1

By Joel Joseph

In this edition:

● Why launch The Prophetic Scroll today?

●Our website is at www.thepropheticscroll.org (live but under construction)

●Outline of the nature of the "Scroll"

●Amazing news events

In future editions I will bring you:

Interpretation of scripture.

Why prophecy is the most important subject of our time and a grand overview.

Why Israel is so important now.

Many mini-teachings on related subjects.

A World Watch in relation to prophetic events.

Key portions of scripture...and more.

Dear friends,

A hearty welcome to this the first edition of The Prophetic Scroll. Before I share with you details of the publication, let me share why it is launching today.

Today is called The Great Shabbat. This 10th day of Nissan was the day the children of Israel showed great defiance to Egypt (type of the world) by taking lambs into their homes for the Pesach offerings. The Egyptians hated this because they worshipped lambs and other animals as gods.

This day occurs rarely. It is happens when Shabbat occurs on the 10th of Nissan with Pesach.

The Great Shabbat also refers to the coming millennium. It was also the day our Messiah rode into Jerusalem and presented Himself as King of the Jews, to become the ultimate sacrificial Lamb. It also points towards the recognition of the Messiah by the Jews and the lifting of their blindness in this regard.

What's it all about?

Today marks the prayerful launch of this new exciting, informative and relevant multi-facetted publication.

This e-newsletter will go out once a week to you as a subscriber (free), with special editions sent out at any time if needs be. Each edition will be archived on the website, which has also just launched today.

The style will be short and to the point. Further in-depth teachings and articles will be presented on the website.

The content will be relevant to the current world macro-situation as reflected in some way in Bible prophecy, with the overall objective of bringing you knowledge, wisdom and understanding of these things. This will give you the opportunity to be ready in heart and soul and to be able to participate in the now-unfolding GREATEST DRAMA OF ALL TIME. This drama, which will put a thousand Shakespeare's to shame will be a great tragedy for many and for some it will be great glory!

World Watch:

  The modern financial Babel!

Before I share with you many interesting items lets have a brief look at why these items are of interest now.

In the city of Babylon, (Genesis 11) the people of the world came together as one and tried to build a tower to reach God. What's wrong with that you may ask! Well, plenty simply because they tried to do it without going Gods way. Babylon was also the first home of banking so relates to the financial systems of the world as well. Babylon is also a type and shadow of the world at large and appears in numerous other portions of scripture relating to the modern world.  There are also many double references where Babylon refers to the ancient city, but also to modern worldly or kingdom dominionist religion.

Today many people are trying to build a new world order, form a new world currency and do it all without God. As in the days of old, again God will destroy modern Babylon in all it's forms. "Babylon the Great is fallen is fallen" says Revelation

None of the following news items are actual complete fulfilments of prophecy, but are fore-runners, designed to soften and prepare the world for the final fulfilment.

Recent new world order and global currency headlines:

It is hard to believe, but a majority of Americans (including Christians and conservatives) seem oblivious to the fact that there is a very real, very legitimate New World Order (NWO) unfolding. In the face of overwhelming evidence, most Americans not only seem totally unaware of this reality, they seem unwilling to even remotely entertain the notion.

Ahmadinejad inaugurates Iran's first nuclear fuel plant – "We are a nuclear power!"

'Iran running 7,000 centrifuges'

The plant will produce pellets of uranium oxide to fuel the heavy-water research reactor, which is scheduled to be completed in 2009 or 2010. Tuesday, April 7, 2009

U.S. May Cede to Iran's Nuclear Ambition
U.S. officials are considering whether to accept Iran's pursuit of uranium enrichment, which has been outlawed by the UN and remains at the heart of fears that Iran is seeking nuclear weapons capability. As part of a policy review commissioned by President Obama, diplomats are discussing whether the U.S. will eventually have to accept Iran's insistence on carrying out the process, which can produce both nuclear fuel and weapons-grade material. (Daniel Dombey, Financial Times-UK, April 4, 2009

Obama Shockers:

The first act Obama performed after taking office escaped all but a few who are sensitive to the heart of God!

First act: Murder of untold thousands! Yes that's true. He ordered government financing for abortions in the US and reversed the bill allowing Christian doctors and nurses not to participate in abortions. In other words this now forces Christians, by law to participate in murder.

Obama declared "If my daughter made a mistake I would not want her to be punished with a child! (This became a well-known T-shirt slogan)

White House invites gay families to Easter event

Anyone with even a slight knowledge of Bible prophecy would be amazed at these news items...not so? Unfortunately no, not at all. The tragedy is that the great majority of believers have little or no interest in these things.

As in the days of Noah people were carrying on with life as normal and were not in slightest bit interested in the warnings coming from some old man building a huge boat in the desert!

War in the Middle East is coming soon:

Iran is talking of opening diplomacy with the US, while at the same time pursuing its nuclear aspirations. Netanyahu is determined not to let Iran get anywhere near to a nuclear weapon. The problem is that Ahmadinejad has the capacity to cripple the already injured world economy. 40% of the world's oil goes through the straits of Hormuz, controlled by Iran. Upheavals here will send oil flying and the world economy tumbling!My sense is that concessions made by Obama and his team will be seen by the Muslim world as weakness and only a strategy to gain further control. We are on the verge of a large war!This will consolidate the world against Israel and prepare the way for some of the most exciting times ever!Another great tragedy is that most believers do not understand that dividing the land of Israel and Jerusalem will not bring peace but war. This is revealed clearly in the book of Joel3:1,2 "In those days and at that time, when I bring back the captives of Judah and Jerusalem, I will also gather all nations and bring them down to the valley of Jehoshaphat and I will enter into judgement with them there, on account of My people, My heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations; they have also divided up My land." It is further revealed in Zachariah 12:3 "And it shall happen in that day that I will make Jerusalem a very heavy stone for all peoples, and all who would heave it away will surely be cut in pieces, though all nations of the earth are gathered against it."The "destiny" players:Iran's Ahmadinejad, Israel's Netanyahu and Obama of the US

One of the big wars of Bible prophecy still to be fulfilled is found in Ezekiel 38 and 39 which relates to an incredible assault on Israel by Rosh (Russia today) and various allies. Today these allies are perfectly aligned as enemies of Israel. I will deal with this in greater detail in another edition, but one of the very interesting enemies of Israel in this war is Libya. Interestingly Gaddafi apparently made some sort of peace initiatives with the West some years ago. This was a pure front. He is now the new head of the African Union (AU). Here are a few recent quotes from Gaddafi:

"The Bible is a forgery". "Christianity is not for Africa". "Israel must cease to exist.","Jews must be driven into the sea." "Obama must negotiate with Bin Laden"

Wise Words:

In closing this edition I would like to share with you some words of wisdom, for your prayerful thought:

Being right with God means being right in heart and in doctrine.

Jn16:13 "When He the Spirit of truth has come, He will guide you into all truth...and show you things to come"

Hebrews 9:28 "To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time"

Finally, here is one of the many wonderful paintings of the crucifixion done by world renowned artist, a Jewish believer Marc Chagall:

I have walked with our Lord and saviour since 1976 and would like to testify to the fact that He is eternally faithful, all loving and ultimately the very essence of life itself. Things get better, deeper, richer and more fulfilling as we go forward into all the new things that He has laid up for us.

Kind regards and many blessings...Shalom and hang in there!
