EASTER?

What does it Mean!

The world is finding excuses everyday to get away from God, from Jesus and from the Holy Bible, because they want to live their lives their own ways without Him interfering, just the same way Jesus was misunderstood by Israel over two thousand years ago?

What they wanted was to be delivered from Roman occupation, today people want the freedom to sin, dishonesty, lies and sexual deviancy and so they misunderstand that Jesus is our suffering servant, who has come to invite us home to eternity by His blood making that atonement for sin, if we would surrender in repentance to Him and discover His forgiveness!

It is getting harder to preach or share the Gospel with many people being offended, while others find the language offensive and they complain to undermine the truth, since most today in the Kosmon are living in the delusions of the age!

Psalm 51:1-5, Isaiah 53:1-12, 2 Corinthians 2:14-16, Hebrews 2:15-18, 4:12-13, 9:26-27, 10:10, 15, Jude 1:6-7.

The interpretation of Words!

Woke and revisionism in the Hebrew and Greek Text Translated?

This is as much a danger if not more so than that of replacement theology, which has racked Ekklesia for over 400 years in the Protestant reformation from Europe to America and much further afield in the 19th Century?

What we accept as to be firm or solid is now being interpreted in an alternative way and this is basically to justify homosexuality and transgender and to make out that what God said was misunderstood by the times, forgetting our own times too!

It is a tough area to deal with since many who profess a faith are now open to these false teachings, because of the fear of man, the laws of the land, comforts and not wanting to be persecuted, which eventually because of indifference will come to them anyway?

Luke 10:29-37, John 5:47, 1 Corinthians 1:17, 2 Timothy 3:10-16.

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.

EASTER!

This year it is split into Three.

One has passed, the Jewish Passover is to come and the Eastern orthodox will be still much later this year, but the message is still relevant and many people are seeing the growth of Islamic influences more so in Europe and they now fear that Christians will be left behind with the many secular changes in laws and the taking away or watering down on the emphasis of Easter?

We as believers know the story well of the cross and the resurrection of Jesus but there is one area that one has never noticed being covered in the events of Good Friday and that is the darkness that fell over Jerusalem and Israel as Jesus hung dying on the cross for all human failures!

Matthew 27:45, Mark 15:33, Luke 23:44, John 3:19, 8:12, 12:35, Acts 26:18, 2 Corinthians 4:6.

When we come away at the end after Jesus death a Roman soldier believed and how many were to follow on that day alone and still do to this day?

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.

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.

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.

Apostle and Disciple Peter.

‘Don’t be Afraid Peter!

Jesus sums up Peter in that he was dominated by fear or himself and of others, from sinking on the water to the rooster crowing to being pulled up by Paul.

We see fear, we see zeal and weakness and we see hypocrisy a bit like us all who claim to be something that when challenged may fail to our own thorn that slows us down and that God will not remove?

It is hard to be a believer Jesus, as it was with Peter a great preacher after Pentecost that lead many to faith, the writer of two fantastic letters in the New Testament, a man that Jesus said Ekklesia would be built on and that does not mean Rome as some like to think.

Matthew 8:28, 16:18, Mark 14:72, John 21:15, Acts 2:38-40, Galatians 2:12, 1 Peter, 2 Peter.

Living in dire Times?

Our rights and our Ignorance!

Wherever we live in this world taking some simple advice in relation to this medical situation and Pandemic would be wise?

But we humans at the best of times live in rebellion to God and many believers too have the arrogant attitude that they can deal with things on their own, even when the best advice is given to us!

This situation that we are in is not going away as some unwise leaders believe, this is because of going on as we are will only spread the virus and eventually with its mutations children will start dying since so far it has not discriminated who it kills?

Believers need to remain focused in doing what is right and obeying the leadership of wise medical staff in relation to social distancing and wearing face coverings, other wise many more people will die in the second and third waves of this COVID-19 pandemic!

Geneses 41:33, Job 11:6, Psalm 51:6, Isaiah 47:10, Luke 7:35, Ephesians 2:2-3, Philippians 2:2-3, James 3:14, 2 Peter 3:15.
