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 Ukraine?

No Peace!

As believers how do we deal with a world leader who refuses peace and is also provoking conflicts with other nation who are seeing through him and his mantra of lies to get a shopping list of weapons, that even his armed forces are failing to deploy in a proper manner, but rather waste on the battlefield?

Zelensky has rebuked many people who have suggested peace, this is nothing new David was rebuked by the peoples he lived with in hiding and it was a struggle for him!

Jesus tells us He did not come into our world to make peace, but with a Sword to cause division and to see who really loves Him more than our own loved ones?

Psalm 35:20, 120:7, Matthew 10:34-39.

We need each Other?

As Believers!

Meeting together is hard for many of us in closed countries, some religious others unbelieving by state control? But for others it is illness, forgotten in the numbers, rejection, being outcast for mistakes, mental-illness and other?

God only wants things for a time to teach people to try harder and not fall backwards, but get up say sorry to Him first and get moving again!

We should know that it is hard to be a ‘Christian, but its worth it, since we are a saved people with a eternal hope and purpose and we have been empowered by the Spirit of God to reach out to others and to see souls saved!

We are also a people of prayer, of communicating with our creator and knowing that He hears and answers our prayers, heals people, influences governments and leaders even without them being aware of their right actions with integrity and that our Lord is coming back for us at the end of the ages!

John 16:7-9, Ephesians 5:21, Jude 1:15, Revelation 6:9-10.

Christian despair & Depression!

Not a bed of Roses?

The statement, ‘It is hard to be a believer, should not be under estimated, since many of us who are now long in the faith now the pain and costs that are involved as we progress in that race that the Apostle Paul encourages us with!

Ekklesia has much to answer to when it comes to depression, mental-illness and despair amongst believers? What was at one time referred to for missionaries is now widespread in the body, since many of us live in pluralistic societies that are hostile to Christians?

Nothing much has changed from the times of the pagan world of the early followers of the way to modern times, the world has turned back to the worship of nature and abandoned the God of the Holy Bible and many believers are starting to fall away, as we are told is to happen!

But we have a God who loves us and His son Jesus who died for us, we must run to Him and trust to endure and to press on? It is indeed very hard, but the price for us is too great to know give up or let go? Let us encourage one and another and help, pray, financials and a roof?

2 Corinthians 4:8-11, Psalm 56:2-3, Proverbs 8:10, 1 Peter 1:7, 4:12-14.

Remembering!

This year it has been treated with Respect?

In the last Century it is very difficult to comprehend how many people died in mechanised wars, that started with the Boers in 1904 in South-Africa, World War-I (1914-18), World War-II (1939-45), the Japanese conflict, which started in 1931-45!

Then we have all the wars from 1947 to 9/11 Iraq, Middle-East conflicts, Malay, Pakistan and many across the continent of Africa? Well over 100, 000,000 Million people died on our planet and despite the Promises of peace, or ‘Never Again, it has happened again?

Many Christians take the pacifist stance that it is not fit for us to go to war, since the Hebrew priests of the Old Testament did not! But this is not quite true, because in some cases they had no choice and when we come to Israel ancient and modern it has to defend itself from hostile enemies?

The ideas of the illegal occupation of Palestinian land does not corelate with Biblical doctrine, there has to be a Temple in Jerusalem for the Anti-Christ to operate from and for the Lord Jesus to return to at the end of the ages!

Genesis 9:16,   Leviticus 25:38,   Proverbs 17:9,   Luke 21:10,   Acts 20:35,   1 Corinthians 15:1,   Galatians 2:10,    2 Thessalonians chapter 2,   Hebrews 13:3,   2 Peter 3:2,   Revelation 12:17,   16:15,   19:11.

BREXIT? Staying in Europe!

A lying Government?

Britain is in a disaster over the lies about Brexit and how our politicians are now manipulating us to fulfil their own ego’s! This is the current fact that nothing is going to change and why?

Because all of them have been bought out by the wealth of the European Union and NATO, recently the U.S. President advised our PM on how to leave the E.U.! But she revealed she had no intention of leaving and would continue to cover up and fool the people of this nation with false promises!

One reason may be that we have no choice anymore in relation to voting and its better to just stay in and push on with the post-World War II vision for European peace?
