It has been often said that the nation of Israel is the biblical center of the world. I tend to agree with that, but I also humbly think that true Israel ceased to exist in 586 BC, when God delivered the nation into the cruel hands of the Babylonians for judgment. According to Hosea 3:4-5, Israel will be without a king or a nation for thousands of years. ...
Hosea 3:4-5, “For the children of Israel shall abide many days without a king, and without a prince, and without a sacrifice, and without an image, and without an ephod, and without teraphim: Afterward shall the children of Israel return, and seek the LORD their God, and David their king; and shall fear the LORD and his goodness in the latter days.”
Only when the Jews repent (change their mind) toward God, by embracing Jesus as their Messiah, will God regather and restore the true nation of Israel again. This will happen at the second coming of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Our text Scripture passage from Luke 21:24 says that Jersualem SHALL BE TRODDEN DOWN BY THE GENTILES until the Times Of The Gentiles be fulfilled. This will happen when Jesus comes back after the 7-year Tribulation period. It was the ungodly ROTHSCHILD family (who are not Jewish in any sense) who in 1947 put Israel back onto the world's map, but it was ungodly men, and not God, who did this.
Just as Sarah and Abraham refused to wait upon the Lord to keep His promise of giving them a son, and they took matters into their own foolish hands by using Hagar to conceive Ishmael (whom God rejected); even so has God rejected manmade Israel, which wicked men took upon themselves in 1947 to bring into existence in Palestine. God has promised to restore Israel, but only when the Jews repent toward God to embrace Jesus as their true Messiah. The Bible prophecies that the world will follow the Antichrist (the Man of Sin) in place of Jesus Christ (Revelation 12:9, 13:15-18; 2nd Thessalonians 2:3-4; Mark 13:6).
In Daniel chapter two King Nebuchadnezzar had a dream. The prophet Daniel interpreted the dream with divine wisdom from God. In the interpretation, Daniel explained that the image of various different metals and having feet of iron mixed with clay, the final climax was when a Rock (Jesus Christ) cut out of a mountain without hands, smaches into oblireration the Gentile kingdoms of this world. This prophetic event will happen at the end of the Tribulation period.
The majestic Lord Jesus Christ Himself will defeat and put down Satan, the Antichrist (Beast), the False Prophet and all his forces to end The Battle of Armegeddon. Jesus will set up His Millennial Kingdom and reign from the throne of David for 1,000 years. The Bible says Christ will rule the earth with A ROD OF IRON. Revelation 2:27b, “And he shall rule them with a rod of iron...” We will reign with Jesus (Revelation 20:6).
Israel has been in the news much lately, since the attack in Israel against 1,200 Jews by the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas on October 7th, 2023. In retaliation, Israel's deranged leaders have brutally murdered over 45,000 innocent people in Gaza, most of whom have been defensless women and children. Vengeance is not God's way! What has happened in Palestine at the merciless hands of wicked Israel in 2024 is NOT justice, it is GENOCIDE!!!
I DO NOT stand with Israel.
If as a child of God you unquestioningly stand with Israel today, you are either woefully ignorant and deceived by Zionism, or else you are a wicked person who is a respecter of persons, a racist and an accomplice to mass-murder.
One of my ministry's regular followers sent me this intriguing article today...
In A World Obsessed With Jerusalem, How Can You Not See Bible Prophecy Unfolding?
A lot of Christians have asked for my honest opinion of Israel today. First let me say that I love the Jewish people. God is no respecter of persons (Romans 2:11), and neither am I. You cannot be right with God and be a respecter of persons (James 2:1). I love everybody unconditionally with God's love. Our blessed Creator sent His only begotten Son, Jesus, into the world to die on a cross to pay our debt of sin (John 3:16; 2nd Corinthians 5:21). Jesus paid a debt He did not owe, because we owed a debt we could not pay. What a wonderful Savior!
World War III is coming! The handwriting has been on the wall for a very long time. Nuclear war is not a matter of if, but when. We are at 11:59 on the Doomsday Clock! Who will be the first to press that Big Red Button?
Very few churchgoers today understand the biblical topic of Israel. Dear reader, the inspired Holy Bible teaches that ONLY a born again Christian is a spiritual Jew in God's sight. Galatians 3:26-29, “For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.” No unsaved Jew will ever enter into God's Kingdom, and no saved Gentile will ever be denied entrance through those blessed pearly gates into the heavenly city.
So, why do millions of professed Christians today in churches all over the world, idolize the Jewish people as if they are special and chosen of God merely because they are Jewish. Sadly, most of what churchgoers believe nowadays is totally contradictory to what the inspired Holy Scripture teaches (e.g., Lordship Salvation, Wrong Repentance, Zionism, Works Salvation, Sacramental Salvation, Baptismal Regeneration, Dispensationalism, 10% tithing, false modern Bibles, Rebrobate Doctrine, Modalism, Oneness Doctrine, et cetera). I encourage everyone to be noble as were the Bereans, whom the Apostle Paul commended for SEARCHING THE SCRIPTURES daily to verify his preaching (Acts 17:10-11; John 5:39).
Tragically 99% of churchgoers today just sit there in the pews like Lemmings, believing whatever their incompetent pastor dishes out to them. The most dangerous place to be for a religious person today is in church! Look at the damnable heresy being taught at Pensacola Christian College (PCC) today, denying that faith alone is sufficent to get to Heaven. According to PCC, you must first be willing to forsake your sinful bad habits to get to Heaven, which is works and a perversion of God's grace. RUN from PCC!!!
I DO NOT stand with manmade murderous Israel today, and neither should you friend. For further biblical evidence, please read with me Romans 2:29-29, “For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.” Could the Bible be any clearer regarding WHO is a true Jew? I think not. Only saved Jews, that is, those Jews who are personally trusting Jesus Christ as their Messiah, are true members of Abraham's family.
Thankfully the Bible is not vague on this subject. I have already shown you from Luke 21:24 that Jerusalem has no divine protections promised from God at this present time. I have shown you from Galatians 3:26-29 and Romans 2:25-29 that only born again Christians are true Jews (and that includes all saved Gentiles as well).
In Genesis 12:1-3, God promised to bless those who bless father Abraham, and to curse those who curse Abraham; but those promises were made ONLY to Abraham because he obeyed the voice of the Lord. Exodus 19:5-6 and Deuteronomy 2:1-68 make it abundantly clear that God WON'T bless disobedient Jews. In fact, the inspird Word of God is very clear that God WILL CURSE the Jews for disobedience!
The Apostle Paul teaches in Romans 11:12, “Now if the fall of them [Israel] be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?” This verse in no way grants unsaved Christ-rejecting Jews a pardon for their sins and unbelief. Romans 11:23, “And they also, if they [the Jews] abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again.” The Bible is clear that when God dicorced the nation of Israel in 586 BC, He made a way back for them, through faith in Christ. There is not other way of rescue! God is able and willing to graff any Jew back into the Olive Tree, but only upon the basis of one;s trust in Jesus Christ. Apart from faith in Jesus, Hell will be every unbelieving Jew's everlasting damnation (John 3:36, 6:47).
There are dumb dumb pastors all across America who blindly support wicked Christ-rejecting Israel today, which is the heresy of Zionism. Again, I love the Jewish people, but I also equally love the Arab people. Biblbically, Jews are no better, more special or favored by God than the Gentiles. If that offends you, please get right with God, because you are woefully deceived.
It was the heathen Rothschild family who conspired with false teachers like Cyrus I. Scofield (1843-1921) to deceive the churches to support modern manmade nation of Israel. Religious Zionism is a fraud. That is why I strongly reject the entire heretical system of dispensaitonal teaching, which makes seven or eight divisions of God's Word. God has already made TWO great divisions of His Word into the Old and New Testaments; or respectively, Law and Grace.
Whereas the Bible emphasizes the Gospel of the Kingdom, dispensationalism emphasizes the future Kingdom of Israel, which diminishes the importance of soulwinning, making supporting Israel the primary focus instead of preaching the Gospel. I hate Zionism and I do not recommend that anyone go along with dispensational theology, which is not anywhere found in the inspired Holy Bible. It was Zionist religious men who fabricated dispensationaism. Men always complicate everything, and in the process the Bible somehow gets lost in the mix.
We should be kind and loving toward Jewish people, and share the Gospel with them. But it is a sin to worship, idolize and treat them better than we would African Americans, Asains or someone from India. God created all people from all nations, tribes and cultures. Revelation 5:9-10, “And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.”
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
