The message we tend to Forget?

After the big rush of Easter.

These three verses are more associated with Christmas and the birth of the Jewish Messiah Jesus, they are hardly mentioned even in passing to the whole picture of the story, mostly because of the fulfilment of Jewish law of both prophetic revelation and Jesus circumcision on the eight day?

But this week we want to keep in focus the light to the Gentiles and the Light of Jesus that is constantly shining out into our dead world, that will bring hope to all in despair from conflicts, wars and social-economic woes, since God will meet with us where and what ever circumstances we may find ourselves in!

Luke 2:29-32, Psalm 98:2, John 8:12, Acts13:47,26:23.

Pro-Israel Christians pulling Back?

Israel’s right-wing anti-Christian Laws!

The problem with U.S. Ekklesia is that they do not know enough of their Bibles in relation to Eschatology and the end times, when Israel will not want, what it considers to be anti-Semitic to its culture?

Judaism is legalistic and it only sees Islam as being more close to what it believes in relation to a shared ancestor Abraham, while Jesus/Yeshua known to us is an imposter and they want nothing of Him!

The other reason is that Israel sees the Christian community as pro-Palestinian and hypocritical when it comes to the word of the Tanakh or our Old Testament that Elohim commands Israel to rid the land of these peoples?

In the book of Romans the Apostle Paul tells us that, ‘the Jews have been blinded, so that the gentiles can come into the commonwealth of Israel or that should rather be the Kingdom (Basilia).

Since they are blinded to the truth, they will want to restore the temple in the area of the Dome of the Rock or Mount Moriah and thus we learn from Daniel and from 2 Thessalonians this will be the place of the desolation and bring on the return of the real Messiah Yeshua/Jesus for us, but for them Ha ‘Moshia/Anti-Christ.

For many believers reading this world-wide, you encompass the Holy Bible and praise the Lord for that, but in the west to much doctrines and replacement theology has blinded many from the truth!

John 12:40, 2 Corinthians 4:4, 1 John 2:11.

Easter. One.

Purchased from the curse of the Law!

Sometimes the message of Easter can be too focused on the Cross and all other events, but not on some of the essential doctrines of the full meaning of the work that Jesus undertook for us by his sacrifice and the importance of that?

The Old Testament is full of being redeemed, since this was both a business transaction and that of keeping a family together, the Hebrew sense of the word Ga’al Strongs H1350 is that of buying back, while in the New Testament the Greek Agorazo Strongs G59 is purchase.

But the work of Jesus on the stake/cross/tree was also to set us free from the curse of the law and for more so the Gentiles to receive the Holy Spirit, that would break the animosity with the Jews, sadly this remains an allusive condition that is yet to be resolved?

Galatians 3:13-14, 4:5-6, Deuteronomy 21:33, Luke 23:39.

Humanity Gathered!

End of the Heavens?

This is another interesting area for discussion in relation to what it might mean in that people with faith before the flood and the days of Noah are being gathered for the Lord Day.

This may answer the question as to why God confused humanity at Babel in relation to the tower that they were constructing into the heaven, something that they once had to cross space possibly to other human habitation in the Universe and God was not going to allow those in the heavens to be spoiled anymore by the violent sin of Tubal-Cain?

This does not mean that humans in other places are without sin, we do understand from the Holy scriptures that the universe as we know it is in decay, it has fallen too with that of the sin of Eve!

Mark 13:27b, (24-27), Genesis 11:1-4, Deuteronomy 1:28, 4:32, 30:4, Job 8:8, (Matthew 24:26-31, Luke 21{25-28).

Nations Shaken!

We must never think that God will excuse Sin?

As believers we are being saved into the age of Grace and it would seem to many people it is easy to believe that God can be undermined about the sins of deviance and same sex sins, without Him pouring out His wrath?

Our world and societies are in a mess, when feelings have replace truth and reality and many people old and young are being fooled by the roaming’s of Satan to delude us from the truth as he did eve in the garden!

Turkiye and Syria have this month seen horrendous destruction from at least four major earthquakes on a NE-SW fault line that runs for hundreds of miles and the death toll could rise to one hundred thousand?

We are small to the plight of nature and so everything is small in the universe, in the created order to God, yet the Bible tells us the conditions of God coming close to His creation and we need to step back and take a check on ourselves to meet more of His criteria?

Hebrew 12:25-29, Exodus 19:18, Haggai 2:6-8, 20-22.

Bow or bend the Heavens?

What we know about space Today.

There are many passages in the Holy Bible that tells us things that are now revealed to us with science, that the Earth spins on nothing and that a third of the stars fell from Heaven and here in Psalm 144:5 we have the knowledge that God can bend or fold space!

Astronomy tells that the only thing known so far that can do this is a Black hole, but what science cannot yet reveal to us is where does it all go, after being crushed?

The Bible tells to us that we who believe will see the new heaven and the new Earth and we will dwell in the new Jerusalem, where there will be no darkness, pain or sufferings!

Human idealism makes promises, but they cannot be kept by this current status of inherited sin in all of humanity and more so without the knowledge of God?

Job 26:7, 1 Corinthians 15:41, Revelation 8:12, 21:1-2.

illness!

Happy 2023?

One is so sorry not being able to write for the past five weeks due to illness and missing Christmas and much more!

As believers we will be attacked by the enemy from time to time, it is expected and we have to just bear it trusting our Lord that He is with us as we go through it?

The Holy Bible is full of sickness, suffering and who God has interacted with us to warn, to heal as we see that most of the ministry of Jesus was the healing of many who were sick, but it did not stop when he ascended, the Apostles also faced these problems themselves and with others it was and remains something of a challenge?

Psalm 41:3, John 11:4.

Consolation of ISRAEL!

The Invitation to accept Messiah. Luke 2:25.

This passage is related to a portion of scripture that is generally over looked by the Ekklesia in relation to Jesus being circumcised and thus fulfilling the Law.

Without this knowledge or understanding, we later can be come confused about the legal matters that this portion has to do with Him and thus replacement theology takes over to give us a wrong impression!

Simeon gave his word over the prophetic in relation to the baby Jesus, Messiah, since he had been kept alive by God for this moment the consolation of Israel, when the Jewish occupied nation were to receive their invitation to be saved from their past failings in Jesus final sacrifice for sins.

Isaiah 40:1-2, 57:18-18, Hebrews 9:26.

Christmas Approaches!

A really busy time for Ekklesia?

Each one of us has the challenge of pulling something new out of the story that by tradition seems to be fixed and at that it in its own right is a tremendous one, but there are many part to it that can be added depending on who one is preaching too?

When we look at this story we are seeing the fulfilment of Jewish history and we know that in that brief time of some thirty four years, his own people rejected Him, but since thirty three AD the way and the Ekklesia just keeps on growing and spreading out and now we live in an age that allows us to see it recovering older areas that have died lack to keep sharing Jesus?

Christmas is also a time when we see the dregs of society, the self-opinionated and the good people come to fellowship with us for plethora of reasons, sometimes guilt, other memory of childhood, others just like the atmosphere without the reality and others still in despair of life?

Numbers 24:17, Matthew 2:2, 9-10, 2 Peter 1:19.

‘Fate?

S-Korea 154, India 141, and Somalis 120 lives lost this weekend!

It is a tough call when loved ones are lost to fate, going out to a festival, being silly or just going about everyday life and death comes suddenly as we have seen in these three nations mentioned?

Some Christians will say they should not have been their for Halloween, others why were people jumping on that bridge and others, well terrorism can’t be helped!

Jesus told the crowds that the people under a falling tower were not worse than them and people would die in disasters human and natural!

We may know much in relation to the end times, but we could be as mistaken as Israel was when Messiah came and they had missed the scriptures in relation to Him?

We cannot change fate, since these things are hidden from us, but we can be wise in hearing God and not doing certain things, by not allowing ourselves to get into a crowded space or avoiding certain buildings in countries were terrorism is likely if we can?

Ecclesiastes 9:1-6, Luke 13:1-5, Ephesians 5:15.
