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.

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!

Matthew Chapters 24, Romans 7-9, The Books of Hebrews, James, Jude and Revelation.

Pentecost!

A gap between the Jews and the Gentiles?

Most believers just accept that the Holy Spirit was poured out on all in Jerusalem, ten days after Jesus ascended into Heaven!

But when we read the book of Acts we will discover that this is not true and there is a substantial gap, letting us know that it was the believing Jews who first received and then much later the Gentiles through the work of the Apostle Peter.

This theme runs right through the New Testament in Revelation the tribulation will come to the Jews first, then to the rest of the world.

Acts 2:1-6, 10:44-46. 11:1.

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.

End Times. Two.

World Events!

Rumours of wars, nations gathered, against the anointed one, but we are clearly told by our Lord , ‘Do not be Alarmed!

Unfortunately we have too many clergy people who make predictions about world events, wars, crises and other things, some to do with Israel and others the Ekklesia and many if not all never happen?

We must stick to what the Holy Bible is teaching us in the Prophetic and not go off on tangents that will not only ruin the preacher, but also the hearers and thus we bring the wrath of the Almighty on us for abusing His words and not mans conception that is a very popular concept today that justifies much sin!

The end is coming and Israel is the focus of Gentile hatred as it always has been, but now it is to be far worse and we believers will suffer with the people of Israel, until Jesus/Yeshua/Isa/Isus is revealed and Satan is defeated!

Matthew 24:6, Mark 13:7, Acts 4:25-26, Psalm 2:1-2, 46:6, Revelation 20:8.

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!
