Sodom and Egypt!

Cursed by God for their Sins?

In this passage in the Book of Revelation we have a passage that very few Christians mention in relation to the other name for Jerusalem and its bad condition of sin!

Many believers today who are pro-Israel pray for the peace of Jerusalem, without acknowledging that in the last times, when the Temple is restored their is to be a great persecution of all who follow Jesus/Yeshua, because the Jewish people under the guidance of Satan their false Messiah?

As believers and teachers of the New Testament scriptures, we must address some hard facts, that Israel is not what it seems and is as filthy in sin as the rest of the Gentile world, they maybe the people of the Book and chosen by Him as His people, but much is to occur before the end!

Romans 9:29, Hebrews 8:9, 2 Peter 2:6, Revelation 11:8.

The underbelly of Antisemitism!

The Kosmon is on the bandwagon of Popularity?

It is sad to say that many believers are joining the worlds view of Israel for starving the of all these Palestinian people, when this is a blatant lie, but it reveals that Jewish hatred is only under the surface of all these people?

What should we do, is to preach the truth that Jews are being saved, events to come will bring the anti-Christ and that when the Messiah comes Israel will be a fully restored and saved nation and that we need to emphasize the importance of the Book of Revelation and its connection to both Daniel and Ezekiel!

For a long tome now many Christians in Europe have discounted these books as not applicable in everyday living, but what has not been addressed is migrant cheap labor and modern slavery that sums up the prosperity of many western societies?

Matthew 11:28, Luke 16:13, John 4:38, 15:18, 1 Thessalonians 1:3, Galatians 4:9, 2 Peter 2:19, Revelation 18:13.

Hate and Hatred!

Terminology that Woke avoids Using?

We live in worsening times, were reality is being replaced with words that refuse to explain the motives of evil people and this is now being employed by some media outlets to cover up why Islamic terrorism is becoming more active in Germany and the U.S.!

But despite this we as believers need to be aware that Islam is not what it claims to be, but rather that of forced conversions or decapitation and the way it sees the world, if from only its point of view?

How do we deal with this rise of hate and hatred is to explain what sin and jealousy is to a dying world, and to do it is a loving way that is factual and true that will convict hearts and minds in love and what we will see is the hypocrisy of the woke movement coming to the fore!

Matthew 24:10, Luke 6:22, John 7:7, 15:18, Romans 3:22-23, Hebrews 4:12-13, 9:26-27.

A Happy New Year and the Lords Blessings!

Ebenezer (Even-Ezer).

The Lord has helped Us!

Israel at this time saw that God was with them and He was their really only help?

Today many Churches choose the name to symbolize what God is doing for us as believers and not as some believe the fellowship of the brothers alone!

We should all know that God is good and He is always looking out for us as we walk with Him, but when we take our eyes off, we head straight for the darkness of sin and possibly destruction if we refuse to repent and come back to the narrow way?

Israel did the same, after the time of the Judges, they wanted a King and God gave them a loser Saul son of Kish.

1 Samuel 7:11-12, 17:37, Psalm 98:1, 116:12, Romans 8:37, 2 Corinthians 1:10, 2 Thessalonians 3:1.

HELL!

The refusal to warn people about Hell?

This is becoming a new thing in western woke society to avoid upsetting others, with the connotation of archaic words and causing offence, when truth is being replaced with lies and the Ekklesia refuses to take responsibility or recognize in fear of being persecuted?

But Hell is real for wicked and unbelievers, it is also for those who rebel within being saved or who deluded by wrong teaching and wonder off into ungodly things, which we looked at last time with the Pitfalls of the faith!

Hell is real because Jesus said so and we are warned that what we term now as a God of Love will do this to the above mentioned

Matthew 5:29-30, 10:28, Mark 9:48, Luke 16:23, 25, 2 Thessalonians 1:9, 2 Peter 2:4.

Prophecy?

Preaching to warn Ekklesia!

Not all always seems to be right in many fellowships when it comes to the services, the lack of preaching the Gospel message for over worship is one area that is lacking the influence of honesty and integrity in society?

The fervent preaching where it is done can become more of the man, rather that God and the balance is lost on the truth, and placed on personality?

We need to focus on the fact that it is the Lord that is leading us and not us leading ourselves?

2 Samuel 23:2, 2 Peter 1:20-21, 2:1-3.

The cost of Faith!

Bearing Witness?

All believers will be challenged about our faith in Jesus, about truth, honesty and integrity and we have both a testimony and a knowledge of God and what He is doing for us!

When we think of Stephen the first martyr of the Ekklesia, we see a man who could not be out done and so out of spite and jealousy free slaves handed him over to the religious men of the day to have him stoned to death.

Many believers around the world today are being murdered for the name of Jesus, wither they practice or not, they bear the name Christian and Islam is one of the most hostile followed by all atheism nations who make excuses for truths they cannot bear to hear?

Matthew 10:15, Mark 13:9, Luke 21:13, John 15:26, Revelation 6:9-11.

Ascension and Return!

The way of the World?

Our societies are moving into unnatural areas of science that will allow two men to have a baby, as is reported from Japan and so we already have three way surrogate parenting which proves the human mind continues to seek out these things!

Man wants to reach the stars with a load of one hundred people at one time, Musk has failed for now but he will get there will lesser, but still enough to build on Mars and go other places?

N-Korea is making threats, the Ukraine situation could boil over along with Israel moving and taking the Temple Mount, aggravating Islam and the beginning of more than one third world war, since we humans are fickle minded?

All of this points us to the days of Noah, eating, drinking and not caring about God, in fact they were and are today side lining Him again to please themselves and so when the Lord appears it will be a dreadful time for them, but for us we will be taken up in the skies to meet Him.

With Easter past the work must continue to preach the Gospel message and teach believers our needs met and conduct kept, to see souls won and to show love to the unloved, the oppressed, the hurting as Jesus has done for us so we must do to others?

Matthew 24:38-39, Luke 17:27-30, 1 Peter 3:20-22,.

Gifts of the Holy Spirit!

What are they for?

A great debate rages in the Ekklesia today in relation to the gifts of the Holy Spirit, with many claiming that that time in the book of acts is over?

But if we take time and end our doctrinal blind spots we will take note that in 1 Corinthians chapter 12 and verse 4 we are told the essential reason, before hitting the juicy bits!

Gifts, service and activity are the essentials of being touched at His will by the Holy Spirit, one who will remain active and effective in the lives of all believers who remain in fellowship with God.

We cannot preach, teach, witness, share, talk about God without the Holy Spirit, we have to be touched and given each individually our gifting, so that we may serve, so that we will remain active no matter what Satan tries to use to draw us down?

Romans 15:17, 2 Corinthians 9:12, Ephesians 4:12, 2 Timothy 4:5, Hebrews 12:28, James 2:22, Revelation 2:19.

Satan and the Devil. One.

Jesus said, I saw Satan fall from Heaven! Luke 10:18

Sadly today many believers do no longer believe in the Devil, let alone Satan and much is discounted as foolishness?

This comes in light of a massive crime wave, guns, knives and murders, terrorism, honor killings and wars all over the world! People seem to have been sanitized to the reality of what is happening around them and many live in the soap bubble of clever misinformation?

Jesus reveals to us a event that happened pre-creation and so the book of Revelation confirms past events such as a war in Heaven. We learn now the nature of our Lord incarnate and that before even we were made a great conflict was at work to cause the fall of Adam and Eve in the garden!

Satan has already been judged and He is defeated, yet He continues to harass humanity of whom He has control and attack believers hoping to win them back and disgrace the cross!

John 16:11, Genesis 3:1-4, James 4:7, 1 Peter 5:8, Revelation 12:7-9.
