LOVE!

The Bible is a book that is full of Love!

We may tend to think that the love of God is limited to a few verses in the New Testament and that all is related to Jesus, but this is not so because God expresses His love for those who have faith in Him and for His people Israel long before the coming of Messiah and the establishment of Ekklesia!

John 3:16. Remains controversial only by those who remain limited in their Biblical knowledge and study or who have been blinkered by the veil of replacement theology?

But the Holy Scriptures are full of God’s love and it would take a long time to cover every area, so one has been limited and once more has provided as bases from where you can work from!

Exodus 15:3, Deuteronomy 4:37, 7:8, Luke 6:27, John 16:27, Galatians 2:20, Revelation 3:15.

Zechariah’s Prophecy! Part-Two.

Luke 1:67-80.

The shepherds came and saw the light of the world and so did the Magi, but it would be thirty years before Israel would see their Savior and Messiah!

Prophecy is a great means to an end, but we see Isaiah and Daniel speak words that took over seventy years to come to reality!

Many believers are in the habit of making predictions like the mediums and charlatans and they lower the power of God in this age, while holding antisemitism, they wonder why God will not bring revival to their lands so look in the mirror of your mind and heart and see your filth?

Jesus came millions have believed and they continue to come while it is still the day light, because the darkness is coming much faster than ever and our fates are sealed!

Luke 11:35, Acts 26:18, Ephesians 6:12, Revelation 16:10.

Zechariah’s Prophecy! Part-One.

Luke 1:67-79.

We tend to over look this New Testament Prophecy, perhaps because it points to the Jewish race and to that of John, who would make a way for Jesus the Messiah to come!

But in these few verses is some invaluable lessons as to the events that were taking place in Jerusalem two thousand years ago and continue to this day in the form of anti-Semitism and even in Ekklesia by many who fail to understand what the Holy Bible is saying?

These human reactions prove that some who profess a faith, are not what they say they are, while others have been mislead into false or not fully understood teachings! Verses 69-71 sum up the connection of events past and present in the day of Jesus appearing and His role in redeeming the nation and all who believe in Him?

But those he came for rejected Him as much as many continue to so today!

Psalm 18:2-3, 132:17-18, Luke 1:32-33, Romans 9:4-5.

EVIL! Two.

World War-I/II+ We Remember?

There is much pride in the human heart to remember the fallen of past wars and conflicts and it would seem honorable to do so, but not was all right in these two world wars and all wars!

Men in fear were treated as cowards and shot and their families not compensated with a war pension, greed and spite came to the fore, those who refused on religious grounds were either killed or rejected by society?

Meanwhile the suffering of nerve gas, high-explosive ammunitions left men with terrible if not horrific wounds and in the 1939-45 war many nations refused the Jews prior to the Nazi-Holocaust while others avoided their rescue and Britain maintained similar prison conditions in the Middle-East until Winston Churchill got challenged by the events?

Wars have to be fought to save our systems of politics and at one time supposed Christian values, but this is a smoke screen to cover arms sales and the pride of royal families, madness of dictatorship and excuses for sin and they will continue until even the Day of Armageddon!

Genesis 44:4, Numbers 13:32, Job 19:19, 35:12, Psalm 78:68, Proverbs 24:1, Ecclesiastes 9:3, Jeremiah 31:3, Hosea 11:1, Matthew 5:11, Luke 7::47, John 3:14-18, 12:43, 13:34, 15:9, Romans 8:37, Ephesians 2:4, Revelation 16:16.

EVIL! One.

The World/Kosmon.

We have all as believers come out of the world, its ways, selfishness, achievement, lies, filth, sexual pleasures, theft, financial gain, and walking over others?

For some who claim a faith in God, some of the above mentioned is fine for them, then the problem is that they have either turned back or that they are not fully saved, or worst still religious imposters?

Evil is the basis of sin, but we know that some people are more evil than others and other deliberately provoke God in their sin! Intimidation, bullying, dishonest gain, tax dodging to sexual sins of lesbianism and homosexuality, while even wearing the cloth and claiming the love of God?

But God sees through our motives and it is only He who knows everything, wither He acts now of tomorrow or never until the day of Judgement that ball is in his court alone!

Genesis 6:5, 13:13, 38:7, Deuteronomy 31:18, Job 1:1, Psalm 14:4, 34:16, 55:15, Matthew 5:11, 24:12, Mark 7:21, Luke 6:9, John 3:20, Acts 8;22-23, Galatians 5:21, Colossians 3:5.

1 Timothy 3:16. Part-One.

Not in every Translation?

Some have suggested this is a later add on to the original letter, but we could all be accused of making a footnote to our own letters of encouragement to others!

It is a powerful verse in the New Testament about Jesus our Lord and Savior!

Christ/Messiah came as a human or in human flesh!

The Holy Spirit proved that He pleased God!

He was seen by Angels!

Christ/Messiah was preached to the Nations!

People put their faith in Him!

And He was taken up in Glory!

What is the problem, a miss translation, replacement theology, or down right anti-Semitism in the early Church to Armenian, Roman Catholic and others?

Deuteronomy 31:23, 1 Chronicles 22:13, Psalm 42:2, Jeremiah 10:10, Acts 1:2, Hebrews 3:2-6.

AUKUS!

A world Crises Situation based on Jealousy?

Red China is the enemy of the western world and so is Russia and Venezuela and Afghanistan and so on, but what they really are is they are better at doing the right things to help the peoples of their own nations and the world!

Where the United States is jealous of economic success and refuses to forgive as Joe Biden said, claiming to be a Christian, while the U.K. is being lead by a good talker and a little planner and Australia has a leader who is ignoring climate change for personal profit at the cost of millions?

What has to do with Ekklesia, it has much to do with us, since we have to live in the world daily and face the consequences of these unwise leaders, who are lining their pockets at our cost and proving they have no time for God, but their own aspirations based on lies and hypocrisy!

1 Samuel 16:7, Proverbs 14:16, 28:14, Jeremiah 17:10, Matthew 23:28, 1 Corinthians 10:12, Hebrews 4:12-13, James 3:17, 1 Peter 1:2.

Christian despair & Depression!

‘Not a bed of Roses?

The statement, ‘It is hard to be a believer, should not be under estimated, since many of us who are now long in the faith now the pain and costs that are involved as we progress in that race that the Apostle Paul encourages us with!

Ekklesia has much to answer to when it comes to depression, mental-illness and despair amongst believers? What was at one time referred to for missionaries is now widespread in the body, since many of us live in pluralistic societies that are hostile to Christians?

Nothing much has changed from the times of the pagan world of the early followers of the way to modern times, the world has turned back to the worship of nature and abandoned the God of the Holy Bible and many believers are starting to fall away, as we are told is to happen!

But we have a God who loves us and His son Jesus who died for us, we must run to Him and trust to endure and to press on? It is indeed very hard, but the price for us is too great to know give up or let go? Let us encourage one and another and help, pray, financials and a roof?

2 Corinthians 4:8-11, Psalm 56:2-3, Proverbs 8:10, 1 Peter 1:7, 4:12-14.

The Kingdom of Israel?

Anti-Semitism in the Ekklesia!

We here this time are dealing with some serious facts when it comes to the Christian attitude to Israel being restored as a nation and a Kingdom!

Now for over eighteen hundred years the Gentiles have enjoyed keeping Jewish believers in their Messiah down and part from that justifying slavery, and many other ideals that are to suit their own agenda of oppression?

These ideas have crossed over from the Catholic Churches to the Protestant Reformations and today to the many new Churches, from the Apostolic revival to ecumenical ideas, community types and other revivals that have been overrun by false leadership?

Jesus did not give a time for that question asked 2000 years ago, because He said, ‘He said only the Father knew! We may not accept now that the state of Israel is that restoration, but when Israel is to be restored it will have to be in the same place that it exists now?

Acts 1:6-8.

No Palestine in God’s Plan!

Restored Israel?

The New Testament, if not the Holy Bible makes no mention of a Palestinian State, with its capital in Jerusalem (Al-Khuds), despite the claims of the United Nations and the world community?

The concept of the two state solution and the idea of a road map to peace in the Middle-East all stem from the British and French carve up of the region in 1919 around the time of the fall of the Ottoman Empire, but during this joint European process, the locals were never consulted on the plans!

In 1947 the British gave up on the region, after being caught out doing almost the same thing as the Nazi’s in relation to the Jews who were fleeing the concentration camps of Poland and Germany. Meanwhile the UN gave Tel-Avis the status of an new nation Israel.

God tells us that He will restore the Kingdom of Israel and that the events leading to the false Messiah and the rebuilding of the Temple will be for that purpose and the Return of our Lord Jesus Yeshua Ha’ Adonai and the End approaches!

Acts 1:1-11, 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4, Ezekiel 28:6-9, 2 Timothy 3:1-3, Revelation 13:6-7.
