The missing Piece!

To the Christmas Story?

Many believers find it hard to place Jesus circumcision in the account, because they fail to understand that Jesus also came to fulfill the Law of God and to prove that he was a total complete Jew!

We are now living iin wicked times once more with the rise of antisemitism and misguided hatred of the Jews, because of the situation in the Gaza strip and Muslim lies many are deluded in to humanitarianism and not faith!

We cannot afford to leave out the bits of the Christmas story that may upset us due to doctrine, hatred of the Jews and replacement theology, because we undermine the teaching of our own salvation?

Luke 2:22-24, Romans 3:21-32, Hebrews 4:12-13, 9:25-28, 10:10,15, 20, 26, Revelation 3:20.

Why did He Come!

What is the purpose of His Coming?

First He was the promised Messiah to the Jewish race and the nation of Israel, but later we see them rejecting Him at the cross and the resurrection!

Jesus also came to be the Savior of the Gentiles, so that they could be drafted in to the commonwealth of Israel, while the Jewish people have been blinded generally, but some will still get saved before the day of God;s coming destruction?

He came to fulfill the promises of God to Israel and to the world and this is all of the real meaning behind the events of the Christmas story, so now we have to add this into the message we may be sharing this season, with a dying world all around, offering to them truth and Hope!

Hosea 3:3-4, John 1:1-18, 2 Corinthians 3:14-16.

Who is Jesus!

Who is He really?

Do we really think that God has rejected Israel for the rights of the Palestinians or do we accept that He is the King of Israel as well as the Savior of the world!

Are we mixing politics with religion and humanism over faith or are we just hating God, through hating His race and being pretend Christians?

This is the image that many are seeing in believers today, that we justify sin and that we are for things that do not exist, so many are turning to religion with rules like Islam!

So we are left with this one passage in Luke 1:68-79.

Jehovah or Yahweh!

The right name for God?

There is an element of ignorance in translation work today, when the King James Bible, still has a place as probably the best ever and we are marking five hundred years since William Tyndale did this complete Bible in English!

But as to the present time with the restoration of Israel as a nation, many new believers want the New Testament back in Hebrew and not English, which they claim has denied Judaism and one has to agree with this from two stand points of replacement theology and also the mistranslation of the name of God?

In the Hebrew there is no letter J and we clash with words in relation to Yahweh and Elohim, Yahweh in its original has no points, thus we have YHWH and with Elohim we have a word that means two Father and Son, or God and Lord!

So on the initial conclusion what is the problem, one thinks it is just another form of antisemitism from the Calvinistic community to get back at the Jews?

Genesis 1:1, Exodus 3:14, Luke 24:35, Romans 15:4, 2 Peter 3:16.

Promises for hard times to be encouraged!

Promises to Israel?

Some people reading this post will want a doctrinal answer to a difficult passage, but here one wants to deals with antisemitism in Ekklesia that is allowing a lot of false concepts into peoples minds that are not of the teaching of the Holy Scriptures or the Church, apart from Replacement theology!

Israel is mentioned throughout the Bible, we really never lose track of the nation, the tribes, the promised Messiah and the tribes gathered at the end of the ages, with the coming of the New Jerusalem for all who have believed in the death and resurrection of Yeshua?

There are many areas in this subject that will be covered at a later date, more so the winter months!

But here we need encouragement as believers to press on and to be joined to the branches of Israel in a hostile and cold media reporting lies and supporting Palestinian terrorism?

Psalm 23, 121, and 148.

The time of the Jews is Over!

Antisemitism in Calvinism?

With the turn of the Protestant reformation and the liberation of believers from the Roman Catholic Church, also entered the false doctrine that the Jews could not be saved, because Paul had turned away from them!

Yet the book of Hebrews was an essential instrument in proving Rome was wrong in relation to the blood sacrifice that Jesus made for us on the tree of cursing and all the Jewish illustrations to the Law being fulfilled?

Satan is a slippery customer in causing division among believers not only in this matter but the many problems in the Ekklesia today over the movement of the Holy Spirit and the status of modern Israel not being the Biblical Israel, what ever that means!

Genesis 13:7-8, Psalm 56:6, John 3:14-21, Romans 3:21-31, 1 Corinthians 3:3, 2 Thessalonians 1:11, Hebrews 9:25-29, Revelation 7:4-7.

Not to be taken for Granted!

Antisemitism in Ekklesia is a sin and Gentiles are warned?

This time we will look at two passages in the New Testament that are generally ignored by many from the idea that once we are saved we cannot lose our salvation, but for the gentiles who are grafted in this is not true!

Israel is the root of this tree that the Lord God in His mercy and grace has allowed for us to be grafted into and the blindness of the Jews, can be lifted at any time for them to be rooted back to their own tree?

These are the rules of the Almighty and we need to heed them and not be flippant, as many are in accepting replacement theology and believing the time of the Jews is over!

We shall be disappointed to learn that it is only beginning with Israel now established by God in His promised land for them and not for us yet and the events are leading up to the restoration of the Temple in Jerusalem and the revealing of the man of Intrigue?

Romans 11:17-18, 2 Corinthians 3:14-16, 2 Thessalonians 2:11.

Ascension!

Leaving out the hope of Israel?

Very few believers mark this time or they clump it together with Pentecost, which again they have got all their facts wrong about and confuse the true picture of the Holy Scriptures once more!

The Disciples asked Jesus about the restoration of the Kingdom, but He told them that only the Father knew this, thus ending speculation a mistake made by many Christians over the past two thousand years?

Ten days later when the Holy Spirit was poured out in the courts of the Temple in Jerusalem, it was only the Jews who received it, but it was later given to the Gentiles!

These essential truths need to be applied today, if we are serious about our faith and walk with our Lord the Holy Messiah of Israel who is coming back for the believers and His Kingdom to be established in Israel, after the false messiah is removed and the Jewish people eyes will be opened to see the truth!

Acts chapters 1 and 2, Hebrews 9:25-28, Revelation 3:20 and chapter 7.

A wall of Water!

The crossing of the Red sea.

Something that is very much in the minds of many to do with Israel today and again enemies trying to kill the Jews, out of jealousy and spite!

Rationalism has hit the Bible very hard in recent years to disprove the events of God and find an alternative answer through natural events instead of the Almighty powers of Spiritual forces?

In the Hebrew we have Suph Yam, translated sea of reeds, but how do we then define that a wall of water Hebrews (Chamah) was on each side of them as the crossed over from Egypt to Sinai and this collapsed, when the Egyptian followed.

Humanism, and rationalism are how the un-generated see the Holy Bible, but we are filled with the Holy Spirit and now under this time of grace we see the fulilment of all that was past!

Exodus 14:24.

The nation of Israel?

And the Holy Bible!

There are many Calvinists who refuse to identify the modern state of Israel as being that of the restored Israel of the Bible, because they are accepting replacement theology that tells them lies in relation to the establishment of the Kingdom, it also misguides them on the many relevant scriptures in the New Testament that speak of a true Jew and of the nation!

With the misunderstanding also comes anti-Semitism dressed up as denial even of the Holocaust and the idea that the Gentiles have replaced Israel instead of being grafted to the vine but never to the root?

If we really want to understand the fullness of the Book of Revelation we must be open to the fact, that after the anti-Christ is removed by Jesus, Israel will be saved! We cannot go back on the promises He made to His own chosen race, that are now blinded for the gentiles to come in and join the commonwealth of Israel!

In the light of Holocaust memorial day on the 27th January, many are refusing to mark it but would rather support the Palestinian cause, which to all Jews is proof of their hatred!
