John Hagee Refuted By Dr. Michael L. Brown

Note to all readers:  The video referred to in this post below has been censored and removed from You-Tube by John Hagee. See this post

You can hear John Hagee here in his video In Defense of Israel making these blasphemous claims concerning the Messiah Jesus Christ.

Dr. Michael Brown has completed a superior refutation, posted here below in its entirety,concerning the false and erroneous teachings of John Hagee, who in October in his Defense of Israel Book, stated that Jesus did not come to earth to be the Messiah, and that the Jews cannot be blamed for not accepting what was never offered. You can read this brilliant refutation below as written by Dr. Michael L. Brown, a Messianic-Jewish  brother in Christ.

IS THERE SERIOUS ERROR IN THE NEW BOOK, "IN DEFENSE OF ISRAEL?"

by Dr. Michael L. Brown

Pastor John Hagee’s new book, In Defense of Israel: The Bible’s Mandate for Supporting the Jewish State (Lake Mary, Florida: Front Line, 2007), was publicized by announcements stating that the book would “shake Christian theology.” The following positions are explicitly laid out in the book:

-The Jewish people, as a whole, did not reject Jesus as Messiah.
-Jesus did not come to earth to be the Messiah.
-Jesus refused by word and deed to be the Messiah.
-The Jews cannot be blamed for not accepting what was never offered.

Statements like this must be evaluated in light of 1 John 2:22: “Who is the liar? It is the man who denies that Jesus is the Christ [i.e., Messiah]. Such a man is the antichrist—he denies the Father and the Son.” As commentator Stephen S. Smalley explained, “The true believer is the one who accepts the Christhood of Jesus, whereas those who deny his messianic identity declare themselves to be on the side of the antichrist” (Word Biblical Commentary).

What could possibly be the motivation for teaching such error? First, In Defense of Israel desires to dispel once and for all the notion that all Jews are Christ-killers, a terrible lie that has fueled anti-Semitism in the Church for more than 1,500 years. Second, the book wants to refute the false teaching of replacement theology, explaining that, “Replacement theologians have said that ‘the covenant with Israel was broken because she would not accept Jesus Christ whom God sent.’” (See p. 132 of In Defense of Israel.) Tragically, in the attempt to fight against these serious errors, a more serious error has now been introduced. Yet some believers – and even leaders! – are buying into this error hook, line, and sinker, and some have begun to teach and preach it as well.

Since the publication of the book, Pastor Hagee issued some clarifying remarks, but the clarifications only complicate the issues and fail to renounce and remove the error.

Here are three fundamental statements that all believers should be able to affirm without hesitation:

1) Jesus came to be the Messiah. This is the fundamental message of the New Testament, which is why we call him “Christ” (meaning, “Messiah”). And it is a fundamental message of the Scriptures that the Messiah had to suffer and die if he was one day to rule and reign (see, e.g., Luke 24:25-27, 44-47), a biblical truth that most of the Jewish people of Yeshua’s day missed, a biblical truth that most Jews through the ages have continued to miss, and a biblical truth that In Defense of Israel has now fed into as well.

In the clarifying statements that made since the publication of his book, it was explained that Jesus came to be the suffering Messiah but not the reigning Messiah – something, of course, that we all knew, and something that would hardly “shake Christian theology” – but these statements have simply introduced another nuance to the error, since nowhere in the New Testament is such a distinction made.

In other words, God did not say to Israel, “It’s fine that you rejected Jesus as Messiah because he did not come in the political way you expected. He had to die in order to be the Savior of the world, so you are not guilty.” There is not a hint of such a message in the Scriptures, which simply proclaim him as the Messiah, period.

That’s why Jesus explicitly identified himself as the Messiah in the Gospels (see, e.g., Matt 16:16-17; Mark 14:61-62; Luke 7:20-23; John 4:25-26; 5:39, 45-47; 10:24-25) – not as the suffering Messiah, whom his people were supposed to reject so that he could die, as opposed to the reigning Messiah, whom they would one day receive, but simply as the Messiah – and that’s why the Gospel authors frequently announced him as the Messiah (in Greek, the Christ; see, e.g., Luke 2:11, 26; John 1:41; 3:28; 11:27; 20:31). And that’s why the apostles proclaimed him as the Messiah in Acts (see, e.g., Acts 2:31, 36; 3:18, 20; 4:26; 5:42; 8:5; 9:22; 17:2-3; 18:5, 28; 26:23).

I would encourage you to look up every reference cited here. It is all quite simple, forthright, and easy to understand, and nowhere is any distinction made between the suffering and reigning Messiah. To repeat: Jesus is proclaimed as the Messiah of Israel, period, and because he is the Messiah of Israel, he is the Savior of the world.

*********

2) The Jewish people rejected their Messiah. Although all Jews are not Christ-killers (God forbid!), and although the entire Jewish nation did not play a role in the crucifixion of Jesus, God held the Jewish people in Jesus’ day responsible for his death and, more significantly, he held them responsible for rejecting Jesus the Messiah after his resurrection. The New Testament witness is explicit and consistent on this.

That’s why the apostles preached to “the people of Israel” that they were guilty of rejecting the Messiah (Acts 2:22-23, 36; 3:13-15, 17, 19; 4:10-11; 5:30; 7:52; 13:27-28; see also John 1:12), and that’s why Paul spoke of Israel’s hardening, breaking off, stumbling, transgression, and rejection (see Rom 9:31; 10:3; 11:7, 11-12, 15, 20 – although with the full expectation of Israel’s future redemption; see Rom 11:11-15, 25-26). Again, I encourage you to take a moment to look up these passages. They are striking in their force and consistency.

Because of this rejection, severe judgment came on the Jewish people in the first century, as prophesied by Yeshua with tears (see Luke 19:41-44; see also Matt 23:29-37) and as taught in his parables (see, e.g., Matt 21:33-46; 22:1-14).

As painful as this witness is, it cannot be rewritten, nor can anyone lessen Israel’s guilt because it was God’s will that Jesus died on the cross. To the contrary, just as it was God’s will that Joseph be sold into Egyptian slavery and yet at the same time his brothers were guilty of sinning against him (Gen 44:16-45:5; 50:14-20), so also it was God’s will that Yeshua die for our sins while at the same time the Jewish people, along with Herod and Pilate and the Romans, were guilty of having him crucified (see Acts 2:22-24; 4:27-28).

It is scripturally impossible to claim that “the Jews cannot be blamed for not accepting what was never offered.” A glorious offer was made and refused, and that’s why Paul’s heart was broken (see Rom 9:1-5).

*********

3) Jesus remains the Jewish Messiah, and there is no salvation for the Jewish people outside of faith in him. Although Pastor Hagee has consistently stated that he does not teach “dual covenant” theology, referring to the false concept that Jews can be saved outside of faith in Jesus, his new teaching certainly aids and abets that error. After all, if “The Jews Did Not Reject Jesus as Messiah” (as stated in bold print in his book), and if “Jesus refused by word and deed to be the Messiah” (be it the “reigning Messiah” or not), then, not only can it be said that “the Jews [in Jesus’ day] cannot be blamed for not accepting what was never offered” but that the Jews in any day cannot be blamed for not accepting Yeshua.

This again is a fundamental denial of the Word of God, and although In Defense of Israel claims that the “message of the gospel was from Israel, not to Israel,” Jesus, Peter, and Paul declared that the message of the gospel was to Israel first, and then from Israel to the nations (see Luke 24:47; Acts 1:8; 3:26; 13:32-39; Rom 1:16; in Paul’s words to the Jewish leaders in Rome, it was “for the sake of the hope of Israel” that he was bound in chains; Acts 28:20).

To be sure, there are a number of other errors found in the critical section of In Defense of Israel (including the myth that there was a so-called cup of the Messiah, the alleged fourth cup of the Passover meal that Yeshua supposedly refused to drink), but this is not the place to address those concerns, and to focus on the smaller problems would detract from the larger picture.

If you are not currently on our e-list, I would encourage you to sign up (www.revolutionnow.org) today. And let’s continue to make the truth known: Yeshua is the Messiah of Israel, the King of the Jews, the Savior of the World!

In Him,

Michael L. Brown, Ph.D.

Pre-Tribulation Rapture False Doctrine

  • For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. I Thessalonians 4:14
For those of us who read and take the words of Jesus and Paul to mean what they say, it is easy to understand that there is no such thing as a pre-tribulation "rapture" of the saints of God.

 Jesus' disciples, in Matthew 24:3, asked Jesus for the sign of His coming, and of the end of the world. When we get to verses 29-31, Jesus answers his disciples question and he made it perfectly clear that the world would have tribulations from that time forward and right up to the end, and that we would see the abomination of desolation. He made it crystal clear, or the days of antichrist's reign/tribulation, then the sign of the Son of man would appear in the clouds of heaven.   Jesus made no mention of a secret pre tribulation rapture of the saints as your pre-trib promoters are peddling.AFTER THE TRIBULATION OF THOSE DAYS,
Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and THEY SHALL GATHER TOGETHER HIS ELECT FROM THE FOUR WINDS, FROM ONE END OF HEAVEN TO THE OTHER." vs. 29-31

The sign of the son of man appearing in the clouds of heaven is every believer's "blessed hope", and not a pre-tribulation rapture as your pre-tribulation rapture promoters try to tell you. Neither Jesus or Paul or Peter, John, James,  Daniel or Isaiah or any of the NT and OT prophets and writers ever taught such a thing as a pre-tribulation rapture.  Even James, the brother of Jesus wrote in his epistle in  James 5:7 to the saints "Be patient, therefore brethren until the coming of the Lord.  How could James ever  tell us that we must wait patiently  until the coming of the Lord, which is after the tribulation, unless we must be on earth enduring the entire tribulation?

 Likewise, Peter also associates and connects the coming of the Lord for his saints just before the Day of the Lord, or Armageddon  in 2 Peter 3:10-12 where Peter writes:
But the day of the Lord will comes as a thief in the night, in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

Seeing then, that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness.

LOOKING FOR AND HASTING UNTO THE COMING UNTO THE DAY OF GOD, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

The glorious appearing of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ is our blessed hope that the Apostle Paul also wrote of in Titus 2:13 and glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ", and not a pre-tribulation secret rapture; at which time the righteous dead will be resurrected followed by the catching away of all the saints alive on earth at that time.

This is exactly what Paul is talking about in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17:"But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrorw not, even as others which have no hope."

"For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. For this we say unto you, that we which are alive and remain UNTIL THE COMING OF THE LORD, shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God;

AND THE DEAD IN CHRIST SHALL RISE FIRST, THEN WE WHICH ARE ALIVE AND REMAIN SHALL BE CAUGHT UP TOGETHER WITH THEM IN THE CLOUDS, TO MEET THE LORD IN THE AIR; AND SO SHALL WE EVER BE WITH THE LORD." 

Additionally, Paul also writes in 1 Corinthians 15:51-53:

"Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, AT THE LAST TRUMP,; for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality."

There is nothing written here that even implies a pre-tribulation rapture of the saints as you pre-tribulation rapture promoters would have you believe. Notice carefully here in the words of Paul what he is saying and what Paul is NOT SAYING is that we just disappear in an instant, as your pre-tribulation rapture promoters would have you believe. This is a complete distortion of the Word of God.

Paul is saying exactly what is written, i.e., we will be changed from corruptible to incorruptible in an instant before we are caught up to mee the Lord in the air, Those who are alive and remain must first be changed from corruptible to incorruptible because, as Paul writes in I Corinthians 15:50, flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God.

First the dead saints must be resurrected from their graves in their new bodies and afterwards, those living saints will get their new bodies, and as I have already pointed out from the words of Jesus, the resurrection of the righteous dead as recorded in John's Gospel, this does not take place until the last day.l!!John 6:39-44; John 11:24. Jesus will come for His elect, or saints on the last dayl, which is the day of the resurrection. All of this occurs on the same day and this day is the same day that Jesus appears in the clouds as shown from Matthew's Gospel Chapter 24:29-31.

 Please read my presentation here on the Pre-Tribulation Rapture to learn more about this fallacy when you have completed reading this presentation here.

Today, there are multitudes of message boards on the web that call themselves "christian" that refuse to allow the pre-tribulation rapture fallacy to be exposed for what it is, and that is a lie from satan himself used to divide and deceive the body of Christ. Scripture is distorted and twisted, hacked up and cherry picked to say something that is not written at all in the scriptures to fit into a pre-tribulation rapture scenario.

 Your pre-tribulation rapture promoters would rather take the words of a man made false doctrine who tell them what their itching ears want to hear over the words of Jesus, and John, James  and Paul and Peter and all of your NT and OT writers and prophets.You will be locked out of these message board forums by their moderators or shunned and intimidated if you present the words of Jesus, John, Peter, James  and Paul to refute their false pre-tribulation rapture doctrine, which is a very dangerous belief.

This is just another example of the deplorable condition the professed body of Christ is in today, and any attempt to expose this deplorable condition will be met with derision, judgementalism, and condescension. When one cannot refute the catching away of the saints after the tribulation of those days from the scripture presention of the truth from the Word of God, the only thing left for pre-tribulation rapture promoters to do is falsely accuse. And, if one cannot get the simple truths of the catching away of the saints after the tribulation of those days as given to us directly by Jesus and Paul in the Holy Scriptures, then certainly these same people on these message boards cannot be trusted with other pertinent "religious" material and doctrines they promote on their message boards in the name of "christian." The safest thing for any believer and follower of Christ to do today is to simply check a message board's terms of service or rules before registering or partaking in any discussion there. If a message board has a "pre-trib only policy", or promotes a pretribulation rapture of the church, then it would be best to simply stay away from it entirely, as the truth of God's word is being attacked on all fronts today and especially from the "professed body of Christ" who participate in these "so-called Christian message boards."

I have read numerous times on various message boards and elsewhere where professing Christians will ask, "why are we even concerned about this?" "It doesn't affect our salvation." "Why does it even matter that some believe in a pre-trib and some believe in a post-trib rapture?" I have read where professing Christians have said, "as long as we believe in the core issues concerning salvation, it doesn't really matter." YES IT DOES MATTER..
This is yet another satanic deception and wrong, because the pre-tribulation rapture theory is heretical and false teaching and neither the Lord nor His Apostles ever taught such a thing and it is not what the Bible teaches. Secondly, this is a lukewarm attitude toward what the Scriptures have to say to us. All Christians are required to search the scriptures themselves for the truth, as the bereans did, so they are equipped to defend and stand on the Word of God when the enemy attacks. The pre-tribulation rapture changes the very teachings of Jesus, Peter, and Paul and the prophet Daniel to tickle the ears of the people who have sadly bought into this deception and this is no small matter.

The writings of Jesus, Paul, Peter, and Daniel never gave us the option to choose between a pre-trib or a post-trib rapture, therefore, only one can be right. The fact is, there is absolutely no Scripture written that even remotely suggests a pre-tribulation catching away of the saints; however, we do have Scripture that points to a catching away of the saints after the tribulation of those days, spoken by Jesus himself.

As it is written in Revelation 2:26 "And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works UNTO THE END, to him will I give power over the nations:", so shall it be.

PROPHECY OF JUDEA!!

Jesus said in Matthew's Gospel Chapter 24, vs. 16 "Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains."

We really do not know how long before this will take place, but from the recent article printed below from Israel, it may be very soon that Christians and Jewish settlers will be fleeing to the mountains from Judaea, as we do not know exactly what took place at Annapolis last week behind closed doors, nor do we know what has been taking place behind closed doors with the corrupt Israeli government, the arabs and the EU, the Quartet, of which the USofA government, the UN and Russia is a part of. Has a peace agreement or covenant already been "confirmed?" as written in Daniel 9:27?

The list of invitess and attendees at the Annapolis Summit of November 2007 represents the entire world of nations who are going against Israel just as prophesied and are now forcing Israel to give up its biblical heartland of Judaea and Samaria for peace, which will never happen until the Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ returns and defeats the enemies of Israel. Following is a list of attendees according to the US State Dept. involved in the Annapolis peace summit:

The heads of each delegation attending the Mideast peace summit in Annapolis, Md., as provided by the State Department.____ Israel, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert_ Palestinian Authority, President Mahmoud Abbas_ United States, President George W. Bush_ European Union Commission, Benita Ferrero-Waldner, external affairs commissioner_ European Union High Representative, Javier Solana, high representative for common foreign and security policy, secretary general of the council of the European Union_ European Union Presidency, Portuguese Foreign Minister Luis Amado_ Russia, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov_ United Nations, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon_ Quartet Representative, Tony Blair, Middle East envoy_ Algeria, Foreign Minister Mourad Medelci_ Bahrain, Foreign Minister Khalid bin Ahmed Al-Khalifa_ Egypt, Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit_ Jordan, Foreign Minister Salaheddine al-Bashir_ Lebanon, Acting Foreign Minister Tarek Mitri_ Morocco, Foreign Minister Taieb Fassi Fihri_ Qatar, Foreign Minister Ahmed bin Abdulla Al-Mahmoud_ Saudi Arabia, Foreign Minister Saud al-Faisal_ Sudan, Ambassador John Ukec_ Syria, Deputy Foreign Minister Fayssal Mekdad_ Tunisia, Foreign Minister Abdelwahab Abdallah_ Yemen, Foreign Minister Abubakr al-Qirbi_ Arab League, Secretary General Amr Moussa_ Canada, Foreign Minister Maxime Bernier_ China, Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi_ France, Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner_ Germany, Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier_ Italy, Foreign Minister Massimo D'Alema_ Japan, Tatsuo Arima, special envoy for the Middle East_ United Kingdom, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs David Miliband_ Brazil, Foreign Minister Celso Amorim_ Denmark, Foreign Minister Per Stig Moeller_ Greece, Foreign Minister Dora Bakoyannis_ India, Kapil Sibal, minister of science and technology and earth sciences_ Indonesia, Foreign Minister Hassan Wirajuda_ Malaysia, Foreign Minister Syed Hamid Albar_ Mauritania, Foreign Minister Mohamed Ahmed Ould Mohamed Lemine_ Mexico, Foreign Relations Undersecretary Lourdes Aranda_ Netherlands, Frans Timmermans, minister for European affairs_ Norway, Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Store_ Organization of the Islamic Conference, Secretary-General Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu_ Oman, Foreign Minister Yusuf bin Alawi bin Abdulla_ Pakistan, Foreign Secretary Riaz Mohammad Khan_ Poland, Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski_ Senegal, Foreign Minister Cheikh Tidiane Gadio_ Slovenia, Foreign Minister Dimitrij Rupel_ South Africa, Foreign Minister Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma_ Spain, Minister of Foreign Affairs Miguel Angel Moratinos_ Sweden, Foreign Minister Carl Bildt_ Turkey, Ali Babacan, foreign minister and chief EU negotiator_ United Arab Emirates, Foreign Minister Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan_ Vatican, Pietro Parolin, undersecretary of foreign affairs_ International Monetary Fund, Managing Director Dominique Strauss-Kahn_ World Bank, President Robert Zoellick


"And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week; and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease...." Daniel 9:27

Go here to read about this prophecy that appears to be in the making right now!

It is being reported that the IDF will be taking away weapons from the settlers in Judaea, which will leave them defenseless when their enemies attack them! Judaea and Samaria is the heartland of biblical Israel which the governments of the world claim is "occupied" territory by the Jewish people whom God deeded it to through the Abraham Covenant and his descendants through Issac, who are the Jewish people!

For those of you reading this, if you have not repented of your sins to the one true God of the universe, Jesus Christ, I urge you to do so without delay, as He will soon be returning to this earth as written in His Word in Matthew's Gospel Chapter 24, after the tribulation of those days, which everyone alive at this time will go through. The end of days prophecies are in the process of happening before our very eyes. Time is indeed short.

The Dividing Of Jerusalem-Annapolis

It Is Written

What is going on today in Israel, we cannot pray it away or fight against it because it will happen as the Lord has already spoken. In Mark's Gospel it is written:

And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests, and after three days rise again.

And he spake that saying openly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him.

But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan; for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men Chapter 8:31-33

So many have commented regarding President Bush going against God for helping to divide up the land of Israel, as well as the PM of Israel E. Olmert. But, in retrospect, none of us but God knows their minds, and none of us know if he or Olmert knows that they are fulfilling the prophetic scriptures concerning the land of Israel and God's plan for it. The only thing we do know is that Scripture is being fulfilled in our generation and in our day and that Jesus Christ will very soon return to earth immediately after the tribulation of those days, and every eye shall see him, as it is written in Matthew 24:29,30

Almost sixty years ago, on May 14, 1948, the nation of Israel was birthed in a day, as God's prophet Isaiah wrote:
Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children Chapter 66:8

And God's prophet Ezekiel wrote:

Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel Chapter 37:12. Since that time and up to the present, Jerusalem has been and is becoming an increasingly burdensome stone for all people, just as written by God's prophet Zechariah, as all eyes are on Jerusalem today in the political and spiritual sphere:

Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the seige both against Judah and against Jerusalem.

And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people; all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it Chapter 12:1,2

Jerusalem will again be divided and be under seige in the end before it's over. Zechariah 14:1-2.  This has to happen for it is written, and the land will be divided as it is written. As it stands today, Judea and Samaria, falsely dubbed  the "West Bank" or the heartland and Holy Land of Israel, is considered by the world governments to be "occupied territory" by the Jewish people and Israel is now being forced to trade it for peace with her hostile arab neighbors.

Peace will never come until the Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ the King and Messiah of Israel, returns to defeat the enemies of God and the Jewish people.

For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,

I will gather all nations and will bring them down into the valley of Johoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land. Joel Chapter 3:1,2

BEHOLD, the day of the Lord cometh and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.

For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; AND THE CITY SHALL BE TAKEN, AND THE HOUSES RIFLED, AND THE WOMEN RAVISHED; AND HALF OF THE CITY SHALL GO FORTH INTO CAPTIVITY, AND THE RESIDUE OF THE PEOPLE SHALL NOT BE CUT OFF FROM THE CITY. Zechariah 14: 1-2

Eventually this too will happen.

Annapolis is but a stepping stone as all prophesy will come to pass just as it is written. We have seen and are now seeing in part just what our Lord said would come to pass. I have great sorrow for Israel, but at the same time I rejoice because I know time is short and we must make the most of what time is left for the Lord, as the Lord's return is near. One third of Israel will be saved and two thirds shall be cut off, as it is written by God's prophet Zechariah:

And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the Lord, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein.

And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried; they shall call on my name, and I will hear them; I will say, It is my people; and they shall say, The Lord is my God. Chapter 14:8,9

It will happen just as it is written.

We are witnessing the entire world going against Isreal, just as prophesied. Following is the list of invitees and attendees from the United States State Dept. who will be present at this so-called peace summit.

Olmert government signing away Jerusalem

Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni last week concluded an unofficial agreement to hand over control of the Atarot Airport in the Atarot Industrial Zone of northern Jerusalem to the Palestinian Authority, according to local Jerusalem newspaper Kol Hazman.

Citing "senior Foreign Ministry sources," the report indicated that Livni and the Olmert government are ready to let the Palestinian Authority integrate the Atarot Airport into the greater Ramallah area in yet another effort to bolster Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas' regime against rival Hamas.

Jerusalem Mayor Uri Lupolianski pointed out the obvious security risk in surrendering the Atarot Airport, which Palestinian terrorists are likely to use as a base for aerial attacks on the Israeli capital.

Lupolianski vowed to accelerate his plan to build 10,000 more Jewish units in Atarot to thwart the government's intentions in the area.

Both Livni's and Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's offices refused to answer questions from Israel National News regarding the original report, insisting that the contents of behind-the-scenes talks with the Palestinian Authority need to remain secret.

Israel legal groups, however, have filed suit against the government for violating Israel's Basic Law by entering into negotiations aimed at dividing Jerusalem.  The city's unity is guaranteed by Israel's law, which can only be altered by a special majority in the Knesset.

TO EZEKIEL

O Ezekiel, friend and prophet of God that you were, called to be a voice for God and your people Israel over 2500 years ago, even as you were taken captive by the Babylonians in Babylon, God inspired and instructed you to write down of the glorious restoration of His people Israel to the land of Israel, as we have seen come to pass in partial fulfillment in our day. Even as you then reminded the exiles of their covenant unfaithfulness and of the faithfulness, holiness and glory of their God Yehweh, you remained a watchman for Israel. God in His wonderful and infinite mercy has shown you through your words of a promised restoration to the land of Israel eventually and that God would not cast His people Israel off permanently no matter how far they departed from Him and His Will. What a glorious hope and future awaits Israel as shown in your visions. We will continue to wait and watch and pray as your prophecies continue to come to pass in our day and encourage the faithful remnant, Jew & Gentile, concerning the restoration, redemption and blessing of Israel, by the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and watch for your soon coming. Baruch HaShem Yeshua HaMashiach! --Blessed is the Name of Yeshua the Messiah!

ISRAEL AGREES TO REDIVIDE JERUSALEM!

Prophecy concerning Israel, God's time clock, appears to have been accelerating in very recent times. Look at this, which is another eyeopener, and ties in with Zachariah 14:1,2:

Olmert Offers Judea, Samaria, Divides J'lem in Draft Accord!
by Gil Ronen

(IsraelNN.com) Israel's government has agreed, in writing, to hand over 6,250 square kilometers of land – the equivalent of its entire biblical and strategic heartland - to an Arab terror state. So reports Dr. Guy Bechor, a leading expert on Arab affairs, who also supplies some of the details of the negotiations.Bechor reports, based on "leaks from the Palestinian side," that Israel has, in the past few days, presented Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud Abbas at least one draft of an "agreement of principles."


The agreement calls for a state named Palestine to be established alongside Israel, and have a territory of 6,250 square kilometers: the equivalent of all of Judea, Samaria and Gaza.

"Palestine" will be demilitarized.


Most of the Jewish communities built in Judea and Samaria over the past 40 years are to be demolished and their inhabitants expelled, according to the plan. The remaining communities are to be concentrated in small salient for which the Arab state will be compensated with additional territory elsewhere in present-day Israel.


A passage of some sort will connect Gaza and Judea and Samaria. It will be under Jewish sovereignty and Palestinian administration.


ISRAEL AGREES TO REDIVIDE JERUSALEM. Arab neighborhoods will be under Arab sovereignty and Jewish ones under Jewish sovereignty. Mention is made of "religious areas," but further details are not known as of yet. Each side will recognize the other's spiritual needs.
The "refugee" question is not mentioned at all, and Bechor reports that this is the main sticking point. Abbas is insisting that Arabs descended from those who fled Israel in 1948 be allowed to return to Israel, at least in principle.

Zachariah 14:1,2 reads BEHOLD, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.

For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and HALF OF THE CITY SHALL GO FORTH INTO CAPTIVITY, AND THE RESIDUE OF THE PEOPLE SHALL NOT BE CUT OFF FROM THE CITY.

Indeed, we are living in very prophetic times. The dividing of the spoil signifies this as an end time happening which will occur just before the day of the Lord.

Take note that this is not a complete uprooting of those Jewish people in Jerusalem, but a dividing of the land occurs so that half of the people are removed and half remain, according to the prophecy. The "plan" for the dividing up of Israel for peace is to uproot the Jewish people and to give it to the "palestinians".

The entire world witnessed what happened in Gaza when the Jewish people were uprooted. It wasn't a very pleasant event to observe as Jews were forcibly removed from their homes and property. This time there will be more who will refuse to leave than in Gaza, which could explain "the women being ravished." It is estimated that there are approximately 65,000 Jewish people involved in this uprooting. All the nations, via the EU, the Quartet, the Bush Administration, the UN, and the united arab natiions are all coming against Jerusalem, which indicates the willingness and demands of the entire world to allow for this division totake place all in the "name of peace."

The day of the Lord is coming soon as prophetic events unfold in Israel. We need to keep watch as commanded by our Lord, and pray for Jewish people everywhere that they will be saved. Jesus said: "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." John 14:6

Israel's Separation Wall To Come Down

This just in from Israel National News, September 3, 2007

Peres: Separation Wall Will Come Tumbling Down

(IsraelNN.com) President Shimon Peres told the Turkish newspaper Today's Zaman that he is "100 per cent" sure that the separation barrier eventually will come down. He added, "We are experts in dismantling walls." He explained, "It is not the age of walls, but it is the age of terror, and I think terror will disappear finally because it does not have a message. It is a violent protest and they don't know where they are going."

As I said on June 11, 2007, no one really knows when Ezekiel's War will happen, and there is still the matter of the "separation wall" that the EU, the UN and Israel's hostile neighbors wants taken down.

Now, less than three  months later, we have the President of Israel declaring to the Turkish press that he is 100% sure this wall will come down.

Ezekiel's War: Who Is Gog? Who Is MaGog?

Israel's security fence/wall  Israel says it needs the barrier — fences, trenches and walls that could run for up to 440 miles — to keep out Palestinian attackers. Since the West Bank Judea/Samaria barrier has been built, suicide bombings and the murdering of innocent Israeli citizens have decreased dramatically.



Who are the players? Much has been written about Ezekiel's War or the Gog-Magog War as prophesied by God's prophet Ezekiel in Chapters 38 and 39. As we watch the events happening in Israel today carried out by her hostile Arab enemies and their Arab confederates as they unfold in the daily news reports around the world, one can easily see that this war is in the early planning stages as I write this.

No one really knows when this war will occur, but God's prophet Ezekiel gives us clues. Ezekiel tells us in Chapter 38 vs. 11 that Israel will be living in a land of "unwalled villages" and will be at rest and dwelling safely. "And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and have neither bars nor gates."Ezekiel 38: 11

Israel, at present is not living in a land of "unwalled villages" or dwelling safely in the land, as there is still fighting going on within the land of Israel with rockets being shot off into the Negev by Israel's hostile enemies.

UPDATE: August 13, 2010-Gilo Protective Wall In Southern Jerusalem Coming Down

However, because Ezekiel says that Israel has unwalled villages, without bars and gates, may denote a description that is consistent with the ancient walled cities of biblical Israel, and the present unfinished "wall" to keep out terror groups and suicide bombers in Israel may not be an issue at all insofar as the timing of this war.

The separation "wall" as shown in the photo above separates and protects the Jewish people from the many terror groups out to destroy Israel and terrorize the Jewish people via suicide bombers and include Hamas, Hizbol, islamic jihad, alQaeda, the Muslim Brotherhood out of Egypt and many others and prevent them from entering into the land of Israel; and this wall or fence is presently a major concern of the EU, the Quartet, (of which the United States of America and Russia are a part of), the UN and Israel's hostile Arab neighbors who all want this fence removed and have been pressuring Israel to take it down. It is quite possible the removal of this fence will become a part of the final confirmed covenant with many with Israel and her hostile Arab enemies, which is being negotiated as I write this.


Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto GOG, Thus saith the Lord God; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it?" Ezekiel 38:14

"And whe the arms of a flood shall they be overflown from before him, and shall be broken; yea, ALSO THE PRINCE OF THE COVENANT."Daniel 11: 22

"And after THE LEAGUE MADE WITH HIM, HE SHALL WORK DECEIPTFULLY; for he shall come up, and shall become strong with a small people."Daniel 11: 23 The preceeding three verses seem to infer that this war will happen sometime after the "covenant with many" is confirmed.

"He shall enter "peacefully" even upon the fattest places of the province and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers' fathers; he shall scatter among them prey, and spoil and riches, yea and he shall forecast his devices against the strong holds, even for a time."Daniel 11: 24


"Son on man, set thy face against GOG, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Me-shech and Tubal, and prophecy against HIM."Ezekiel 38: 2

WHO IS GOG?

Gog is the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal. He is, in my opinion an evil  spiritual being  and not a reference to a country as many have mistakenly referred to  GOG as Russia; but as you can see, Ezekiel calls GOG "the chief prince" in verse 2, or a powerful ruler. It is quite possible that this  GOG being is a figurative that denotes someone or some thing that is against Israel and is antichrist as all muslims are. 1 John 2:22-23.  Daniel 10:13 depicts an evil spirit: when he writes about the evil  prince of the kingdom of Persia, modern day Iran,  in the below passage.  The delay in Daniel's prayer had to do with the "prince of the Kingdom of Persia.  This "prince" is  a spirit of darkness, probably a fallen angel, assigned to this geographical area by satan or perhaps satan himself

The prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days, but Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I was left there with the kings of Persia. 

WHAT IS MESHECK? Ezekiel 38:2

From Strong's concordance = drawing out Son of Japheth, grandson of Noah and progenitor of peoples to the north of Israel; descendants of Mesech often mentioned in connection with Tubal, Magog and other northern nations including the Moschi, a people on the borders of Colchis and Armenia. Moschi was a people inhabiting the Moschian Mountains between the Black and Caspian Seas. The region of Meshech is now the country of Georgia which is located in the southern tip of Russia and is predominantly orthodox Christian according to the CIA World Fact Book. It sets on the northwest corner of Armenia and the northeast corner of Turkey, which is also predominantly muslim.

WHAT IS TUBAL? Ezekiel 38:2




A region in east Asia Minor, perhaps equal to Cappadocia. Notice on the ancient empire of Persia atlas map above, Cappadocia is now modern day Turkey. Tubal was in modern day western Turkey also within the same locations as the Thracian region of Turkey. The chief ruler of Tubal at this time is the government of Turkey, and includes the land of Magog today, as would modern day
Syria  and northern Iraq, or Babylon. This very likely confirms this area as being a part of the same nations as an Islamic antichrist kingdom, which are muslim nations. 1 John 2:22-23.

 ***For years self proclaimed dispensationalist  "prophecy teachers" have taught that Ezekiel's war would primarily be of a Russian lead  invasion with  its muslim confederates, but I do not think  the Scriptures can substantiate that school of thought. Rather, the Bible does support a muslim lead confederacy of nations who are primarily enemies of Israel, and are antichrist,  which we see today taking place in the Middle East.***   It is best to just let the Scriptures and the maps read as they do and the Bible will interpret itself. This is not meant to say that modern day Russia will not play a part in this great war as events taking place in the Middle East today suggest  that Russia will indeed be highly involved considering Russia's weapons supply  agreements with Syria and Iran.

WHAT IS PERSIA? Ezekiel 38:5

Modern day Iran
Persia, Ethiopia and Libya with them. Ezekiel 38:5

Daniel11:43 notes that Ethiopia and Libya are among those nations in an  antichrist kingdom. 1 John 2:22-23.

He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown; but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon." Daniel 11:41

He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries; and the land of Egypt shall not escape. Daniel 11:42

But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the preious things of Egypt; and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps. Daniel 11:43. Edom was founded by Esau, Jacob's (renamed Israel) twin brother, and was located in a region southeast of Israel. It is shown in Genesis, Jeremiah. Amos, Isaiah and other places that God's favor did not fall upon Esau and Edom.

Moab is the ancient name for a mountainous strip of land located in present day Jordan that reachs towards the eastern coast of the Dead Sea.

WHAT IS GOMER? Ezekiel 38:6

"Gomer, and all his bands; the house of To-gar-mah of the north quarters, and all his bands and many people with thee."From Strong's concordance = Gomer was the eldest son of Japheth and the father of Ashkenaz, Riphath and Togarmah. These people make up a large part of the muslim confederacy invasion of Israel during Ezekiel's War. Archeological evidence seems to indicate that these people of Gomer settled on the north of the Black Sea and expanded south and west of Europe. Genesis 10:3 mentions "Ashkenaz" as being a part of Gomer's clan. It is believed by many modern day Jews that this area is Germany. Josephus called the sons of Ashkenaz "the Rheginians," and a map of the ancient Roman empire shows them to be a part of modern day Poland, Czechoslovakia and Germany.

The Scriptures depicts a person called an "Assyrian" who God allows to come against Israel. Isaiah Chapter 10 reads:

"O Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, and the staff in their hand is mine indignation. I will send him against an hypocritical nation, and against the people of my wrath will I give him charge, to take a spoil and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets. vs. 5. Now compare the above verse from Isaiah 10:5 with Ezekiel 38:11-12:

And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them, dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates, Ezekiel 38:11 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land. Ezekiel 38:12

One can now see from Scriptures in Ezekiel, Danial and Isaiah, how this Gog being  mentioned in Ezekiel's War can possibly be one and the same  as the Assyrian, even though Ezekiel's War and all nations against Jerusalem are two distinct events; however Ezekiel's War I believe may very well lead up to the battle at Jerusalem in which the Lord return's to do battle. The Scriptures tells us precisely the individual nations who will partake in Ezekiels War against the Jewish people of Israel, while the battle at Jerusalem it will be all nations of the world going against Jerusalem at the Day of the Lord.

BEHOLD, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee. For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city. Then shall the Lord go forth and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north and half of it toward the south. Zechariah 14:1-4

Ezekiel 39 tells us that these muslim enemies of God and the enemies of the Jewish people will be destroyed on the mountains of Israel:

Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands, and the people that is with thee. vs. 4. And Isaiah Chapter 14 pretty much says the same thing, of the Assyrian:

Then I will break the Assyrian in my land, and upon my mountains tread him under foot; and shall his yoke depart from off them, and his burden depart off their shoulder. vs. 25

The mountains of the Lord's land of Israel are located in Judea and Samaria, or what is called "The West Bank". Jerusalem, God's Holy City is located in the Judean mountains.

Pre-Tribulation Rapture?

There is no such thing as a "pre-tribulation" rapture, yet this satanic false doctrine is being pushed in just about every evangelical denominational church in America today.

 In fact, churches all across America have incorporated the pre-tribulation rapture theory into their Statement of Faith Doctrines, and if one should question it, you will be given the cold shoulder. Pastors and congregants have even been forced out of their church denominational positions for daring to speak out against this false unscriptural doctrine.Satan has deceived the masses in Christian American churches, as your megachurch televangelists such as John Hagee and fiction writers such as Jerry Jenkins and Tim Lahaye, Hal Lindsey and many more  have made billions of dollars selling this deception to the naive who have bought into this man made deception theology.

The first thing that Jesus told his followers in Matthew'sGospel, Chapter 24 vs. 4 when they asked him "what shall be the sign of thy coming, and the end of the world" was:

"Take heed that no man deceive you."
Those who are teaching that you are going to be air lifted and fly away before the antichrist is revealed are deceivers and false teachers. Plain and simple, no ifs, ands or buts. To cut to the chase, the pre-tribulation rapture is never mentioned at all in the scriptures and there is not one single passage that tells any serious Bible reader that the saints of Christ will be caught up to meet the Lord in the air secretly before the tribulation period.

This false teaching constitutes nothing less than replacement theology and changing the Word of God of which there is a stern warning against in Revelation 22:18-19.

To clarify, basically, the gist of the pre-tribulation rapture false doctrine is that Christians will be snatched off the earth in a secret rapture which will occur before the tribulation period. The Book of Revelation is believed by these false teachers promoting this as biblical fact is considered to be a time when God deals with Israel through a wicked one-world leader.

Dispensationalism, which is another false premise which they base their theories on, promotes that God dealt with Israel for sixty nine weeks of years and that the seventieth week known as Daniel's Seventieth Week, is still in the prophetic future. Therefore, it is taught by them that the entire tribulation period, or Daniel's Seventieth Week, is also called "Jacob's Troubles," without any scripture substantiation.

Your pre-tribulation rapture promoters would have you believe that God will deliver them from this time period or Daniel's Seventieth Week, snatch them off to a great wedding party in heaven, taking His Holy Spirit off the earth, and leave Israel to fend for itself without God's Holy Spirit when there is nothing further from the truth. Scripture tells us God's Holy Spirit never leaves the earth. There are several scriptures in the Bible that confirm this but for the purpose of this writing I will use Matthew 28:20 where Jesus himself said "and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen."

Pre-tribulation rapture promoters have invented several dispensations throughout history, thereby introducing a new dispensation in the final seven years and try to convince you that God is only concerned with "natural Israel", and not His church, again without any Biblical substantiation.This is absurb because God's people are always called Christians or saints throughout the Bible and as seen in the Book of Revelation, including the 144,000, or twelve thousand from each of the twelve tribes of Israel.

This feel good theology has become so profound in mainstream Christian evangelical churches that it is now an obsession; and the Christian church for the most part has been deceived with this false teaching in the same manner of any other cultic brainwashing; however, this time, the brainwashing has been done by people in your mainstream evangelical and televangelist's churches, and your internet message boards who have bought into the pre-tribulation rapture lie, and multitudes will be caught off guard and will not be ready to see the tribulation period or Daniel's Seventieth Week that is swiftly coming upon the world and will most likely fall into apostasy with the rest of the mainstream evangelical churches in America who are already deep into apostasy. Jesus himself said in John's Gospel 17:15:

"I pray NOT that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest KEEP THEM FROM THE EVIL."
Jesus would be going against His own prayer if a pre-tribulation were true.Paul, the great Jewish Apostle who wrote most of the New Testament, never in all of Scripture promoted or taught a pre-tribulation rapture. He wrote:

We shall be changed at the LAST TRUMP. I Corinth. 15:52.

The last trump is described as the seventh trump in Revelation 10:7 and 11:15-19. Jesus himself places the sign of His coming for his saints on earth immediately after the tribulation of those days in Matthew's Gospel 24:29-31.Paul's words agree with the words of Jesus wherein he also warns when speaking of the Lord coming for his saints:

Let no man deceive you by any means; for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first and that man of sin be revealed, the son of peridition. II Thess. 2:3 The foregoing text of scripture very clearly tells us the antichrist MUST be revealed first, and according to Daniel 9:27, this isn't until the middle of Daniel's Seventieth Week, which means there is no such thing as a pre-tribulation secret rapture.

Again, those promoting a pre-tribulation doctrine are false teachers and deceivers who have fallen away from the truth of God's Word, as the apostasy that Paul warns of is already upon us and time is short. The church has become lukewarm and comfortable and has departed from her first love in favor of seeker friendly, purpose driven, humanistic, wealth and prosperity, New Age, escapism me first teachings.

Jesus himself tells us four times that the Resurrection of the righteous will not happen 'till the LAST DAY in John's Gospel Chapter 6:

1. And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I would lose nothing, BUT SHOULD RAISE IT UP AGAIN AT THE LAST DAY. vs. 39

2. And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up AT THE LAST DAY. vs. 40

3. No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him; and I will raise him up AT THE LAST DAY. vs. 44

4. whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life, and I will raise him up AT THE LAST DAY.vs. 54

Paul also writes and agrees with Jesus that the dead in Christ MUST RISE FIRST in I Thess 4:15-17, which we know from the words of Jesus is not until the last day.

"For this we say unto you BY THE WORD OF THE LORD, that we which are alive and remain until THE COMING OF THE LORD shall not prevent them which are asleep.

For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trump of God; AND THE DEAD IN CHRIST SHALL RISE FIRST;

THEN WE WHICH ARE ALIVE AND REMAIN SHALL BE CAUGHT UP TOGETHER WITH THEM IN THE CLOUDS, TO MEET THE LORD IN THE AIR; AND SO SHALL WE EVER BE WITH THE LORD."

It can't get much clearer that these words of Jesus and Paul. The Resurrection of the dead in Christ is on the last day and not before the seven year or Daniel's Seventieth Week period. John the Revelator agrees in Revelation 20:4-6 where John tells of the first Resurrection, which is a late event and depicts the tribulation saints who did not take the mark of the beast.

The last day is not until after the tribulation period or Daniel's Seventieth Week and occurs at the Day of the Lord, or Armageddon and the coming of the Lord, when the wrath of God is unleashed on the wicked of this world, at Armageddon, from which the righteous in Christ alive at this time will be delivered from and not before.

EZEKIEL'S WAR GETTING CLOSER

RUSSIANS MAKE BID FOR JERUSALEM


Russians Bidding for Control in Downtown Jerusalem (IsraelNN.com) If current negotiations with the Russians succeed, a large complex in central Jerusalem will be handed over to control of the Russian government.
The area in question is part or all of what is known as the Russian Compound, so named because it was built and once owned by the Russian government. It was originally constructed as one of the first complexes outside the Old City of Jerusalem, for the purpose of housing the thousands of Christian Russian pilgrims who wished to visit the holy city.
Though the 17-acre area in the heart of Jerusalem, between Jaffa, HaNeviim, and Shivtei Yisrael Streets, was once a bustling center with impressively-built structures, it now is used largely as a courthouse and detention center. The Russian government has of late informed various Israeli Prime Ministers that it would like to reclaim the area - at a price of $100 million.
Secret TalksNegotiations have been underway during the regimes of Ehud Barak, Ariel Sharon, and Ehud Olmert - very secretly, so as not to arouse the expected storm of public protest.

EZEKIEL Chapters 38 and 39 tell of the ungodly, satanic northern alliance which will attempt to annihilate Israel in the near future will meet its demise on the mountains of Israel. It is believed that this alliance will involve Russia, even though Russia is not mentioned in the text of Ezekiel Chapter 38, and Iran, united with the hostile arab enemies surrounding Israel today as outlined in Ezekiel Chapter 38, and of whom we hear about on the news daily. These evil conspirators are unaware that IT IS GOD who draws them toward their own demise. Those nations which seek to harm Israel will reap their own destruction under the hand of GOD'S judgement.

Ezekiel 38:16 reads:
"And thou shalt come up against MY People of Israel as a cloud to cover the Land:it shall be in the latter days,and I WILL BRING THEE against MY LAND, That the Heathen may KNOW ME when I SHALL BE SANCTIFIED in thee O GOG, before their eyes''

The Iskander Threat
On Tuesday, May 29, 2007 Russia tested a modernized version of the Iskander-M tactical cruise missile. The Iskander, a kind of TBM (tactical ballistic missile) which has a 280 km range and carries a 480-kilo warhead, is considered one of the most advanced surface missiles in the world. Information has reached Israel that President Vladimir Putin is willing to sell the Iskander missiles to Syria, although no delivery date has been set. This constitutes a qualitatively new threat to Israel.

Iskander is the Arabic version of the name Alexander. In the fourth century BC, Alexander conquered much of the Middle East, including the Levant and Israel. It would be natural, then, for Arab militants to put their hopes in this symbolic missile. American officials eye the Iskander with great concern, believing it to be capable of striking the interceptors and radar station that America plans to deploy in Poland and the Czech Republic to shield Europe from Iranian missile attack.

It is insane, of course, for Putin to sell this missile to terror sponsoring state such as Syria. It clearly demonstraates that he is an enemy of the West and of Israel. Putin is ultimately taking Russia back to a pre-communist tzarism, with himself as the new Tzar. Israel’s worry is that the new missile, if sold to Syria, would allow that state to mount a surprise attack on Israel undetected.

The Iskander has a high capability for escaping detection and for pinpoint precision against small targets. The system can interact with space reconnaissance and unmanned aircraft. Both Israel and the United States will be watching further developments and tests of the Iskander in the coming months.

Ezekiel's War is getting closer and will soon become a reality, just as the prophet of God, Ezekiel prophesied thousands of years ago. You can trust God's Word to be true.
Jesus said, "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life; No one comes to the Father but by me." Jesus Christ is the only one that can save you as the enemies of Israel and the Jewish people prepare to attack His beloved Israel and the people of Israel. If you have not repented of your sins and put your trust in Jesus Christ, I urge you to do so now, while there is still time, and follow Him, the one true God and Messiah of Israel and the world.

FOR ZION'S SAKE




At Dachau extermination camp, two US soldiers gaze at victims of Hitler's Final Solution who died on board a death train.
The Forgotten People....Six Million People...
Anti-semitism has again reached the levels today as it was in Hitler's Germany in Europe as history repeats itself. Jewish cemeteries are being desecrated and synagogues are vandalized. Jewish people in Europe are attacked on a routine basis and the world turns its head the other way as anti-Jewish/anti-Israel propaganda is spread like a wild fire in the international anti-Semitic media. Christians world wide must not turn its head the other way as the "Christian church" in Hitler's Europe and the world did. We must never again let this happen to our Jewish brothers and sisters and we must unite and stand with them in word and deed where ever they are, and we must pray for them daily and we must take a stand against any and all forms of anti-semitism. Jesus called the Jews "his brethren." Matthew 25:31-46. Jesus Christ himself is Jewish. How can one say he is Christian and not love and stand with our Jewish brethren as Jesus did? God is not a hypocrit! In the Gospel of John, Jesus himself said, "Salvation is of the Jews" John 4:22.
Fred Thompson has got it right, and I agree with him.
The Israelis have gone to incredible lengths to stop the war against them without harming palestinian non combatant civilians, even in this state of war, as the International community stands idly by and watches. The Hamas government regularly repeats its official promise to destroy Israel entirely and replace it with an Islamic state, and Hamas has openly taken credit for killing one innocent Jewish woman and wounding dozens more last week alone. The strategy of this enemy is to purposely target and kill Israeli civilians; then, when Israel goes after those launching the attacks, the enemy claims to be the victims. If enemy civilians aren't hurt in the Israeli attacks, they stage injuries and deaths to gain international sympathy and support from anti-Semitic media internationally. I'm beginning to wonder how much longer this vicious plot will work though. International sympathy for the enemy is beginning to diminish as these same Islamofascist extremists have brought havoc to London, Bali, Madrid, Somalia, America and all around the world. Imagine what it would be like to live, knowing that a rocket could fall on you or your children at any minute.
Half of those who live nearest to Gaza have fled their homes and those who have not left are continually traumatized by daily warning sirens and explosions. This constant state of traumatization of Israeli citizens cannot go on indefinitely. Because of the Iranian threat to destroy Israel when they achieve their goal of getting the bomb, things are about to change and soon in the Middle East. Not only is Iran threatening to wipe Israel off the map, but so is Hamas; and has now openly announced that rockets will be launched into Israel from the West Bank/Judea-Samaria so there is little doubt if there ever was any at all that things will come to a head soon. Hey, if the international powers that be do not do something immediately to stop these Islamofacists and Iran, then the Israelis will have to do what they have to do to protect themselves; and the world along with Israel should prepare for the consequences of Israel rightfully defending itself.

Israel's Six Day War

As Israel celebrates Jerusalem Day and 40 years of the reunification of Jerusalem, Israel under Israel sovereignty, Jews and Bible believing Christians all over the world remember this miraculous prophetic event by God himself, the leaders of the nations of the world are still raging against God's Holy City of Jerusalem, Israel and the Jewish people in the land of Israel in a futile effort to divide Jerusalem, Israel and give half of the Holy City to arab hostile enemies whose desire is to destroy Israel and the Jewish people. This will never happen, for God himself will again miracously intervene:


Zechariah 12:2 "Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah [and] against Jerusalem."
Zechariah 12:3"And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it."

To read about the historical facts of this Six Day War where Israel defeated her hostile arab enemies, and took back Jerusalem, Israel, the City of David, God's Holy City, go here.

The Muslim Who Inspired Hitler's Final Solution

Nazism did not end in Hitler's Germany for the Jewish people.  It has been alive since 1948 when the Jewish people returned to their ancient homeland after being scattered among the nations, a fulfillment of biblical prophecy in our generation when the present state of Israel was born after 2,000 years.
Hajj Amin al-Husayni With Adof Hitler
The Muslim Mufti of Jerusalem

The muslim Mufti of Jerusalem, the muslim who inspired Hitler's final solution from the beginning, plotted with Hitler to keep the Jews out of 'Palestine' and during the final months of WWII, the muslim Mufti actually lived in Hitler's bunker and he himself played a key role in the decision of the Arab league to reject the UN partition plan in 1947 to reject a Jewish state in 'Palestine' and rallied the arabs throughout the arab world to apply Hitler's program of the final solution to wipe the Jewish people out from the State of Israel.

The muslim mufti was instrumental in raising a new generation of arabs in creating the muslim brotherhood in promoting the lifelong cause to destroy the State of Israel and become a mentor of the nortorious criminal and terrorist who became Yassar Arafat, whose name was given to Arafat, the Egyptian, by the Mufti.

In Berlin, Hitler accommodated the muslim mufti with radio media where the mufti promoted the Nazi concept and message in arabic and where, in Berlin, the muslim mufti was given the task of organizing the muslim confederacy of the Nazi murder machine where Jews were murdered through Yugoslavia.

In November of 1941, the mufti was given Hitler's guarantee that once the Jewish people were dealt with in Europe, Hitler would promote his Nazi murder machine of the Jewish people in the Middle East, and Husseni guaranteed the cooperation and support of the arabs in the Nazi effort.  This effort is alive and very active today in the Middle East with Israel's arab enemies who are determined to destroy the Jewish people.

God will deal very harshly toward these people and nations who have plotted and schemed to exterminate the Jews, as we have seen in the past, and are seeing today, as is recorded in His Holy Word.

If you have been involved in anti-semitism or hatred and discrimination toward the Jewish people, I urge you to renounce it now and ask for God's forgiveness as you move away from this santanic darkness.

Israel The Apple Of God's Eye

Note To All Readeers: Due to the popularity of this article, it has been re-posted  here with a map.

Israel first became a nation in 1312 BC, two thousand years before Islam ever saw the light of day. This gives the Jewish people complete & absolute rights to the land of Israel. It wasn't until 586 BC that the Jewish people of the land of Israel, known as Judea, were overtaken. The ancient Jewish Temple in Jerusalem's Old City, where the first Jewish Temple stood on the Temple Mount, was destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar, the King of Babylon at the time, and the ancient Jewish people were either killed or driven from their land. Those that were allowed to remain over the next five hundred years or so, rebuilt the land of Israel, along with a Second Temple on what is called the Temple Mount. The idea that the Jewish people all of a sudden became present in the land of Israel fifty nine years ago is an out right fabrication and propaganda by Israel's muslim enemies surrounding her.

The psalmist David wrote in Psalm 138:2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth; FOR THOU HAS MAGNIFIED THY WORD ABOVE ALL THY NAME. God will keep His covenant with His people Israel, because He is a God of truth no matter what the nations of the world and the arabs say, and irregardless if these nations recognize Israel or not. Ever since 1948, these hostile arab nations have sought to destroy Israel and the Jewish people in the land of Israel because they want all the land to themselves out of sheer jealously, greed and hatred.

 Israel is on the map to stay, whether they or the UN put it on their stationary or map or not. The fact is, God himself originally promised the land of Israel to the Jewish people through Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and their descendants, the Jews; NOT ISHMAEL or the arabs or his descendants and there is absolutely nothing anyone can do about it, but accept it.

 While the Jewish people are not in a covenant relationship with God as a nation at present, the Old Testament clearly tells us that the creator Godl, who is Jesus Christ, will bring the Jewish people back to their ancient homeland after being scattered among the nations for 2,000 years; and this He has done in our day! Ezekiel, Chapter 36 has been taking place right before our very eyes in our generation. I strongly recommend that everyone reading this go to Ezekiel Chapter 36 in your Bible and read it all for yourself. I quote in part here:

First, from Ezekiel Chapter 36:5 we read:

Therefore, thus saith the Lord God; Surely in the fire of my jealously have I spoken against the residue of the heathen and against all I-du-me-a, which have appointed MY LAND INTO THEIR POSSESSION with the joy of all their heart, with despiteful minds, to cast it out for a prey. In this verse here, take careful note that the Lord God calls the land MY land, which means the muslims don't own it and I-du-me-a refers to the descendants of Jacobs's brother, Esau from which the arabs or muslim nations surrounding Israel originated and whom God is giving a stern warning.
.
Secondly, this verse makes it clear that neither do the Jews own it. However, the Lord God can choose to give HIS land to whom ever He desires, and for the reasons He chooses, as the following verses in the same chapter of Ezekiel 36 clarify:

Moreover the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

16Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land, they defiled it by their own way and by their doings; their way was before me as the uncleaness of a removed woman.

17Wherefore I poured my fury upon them for the blood that they had shed upon the land, and for their idols wherewith they had polluted it:

18And I scattered them among the heathen, and they were dispersed through the countries; according to their way and according to their doings I judged them.

19And when they entered unto the heathen, wither they went, they profaned my holy name, when they said to them, These are the people of the Lord, and are gone forth out of his land.

20But I had pity for my holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the heathen, wither they went.

21Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord God;I DO NOT THIS FOR YOUR SAKES, O HOUSE OF ISRAEL, BUT FOR MINE HOLY NAME'S SAKE, WHICH YE HAVE PROFANED AMONG THE HEATHEN, WHITHER YE WENT

22AND I WILL SANCTIFY MY GREAT NAME, which was profaned among the heathen in the midst of them; AND THE HEATHEN SHALL KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD, SAITH THE LORD GOD, WHEN I SHALL BE SANCTIFIED IN YOU BEFORE THEIR EYES.

23For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries and will bring you into your own land. ***Here is the confirmation again that God gave the land of Israel to the Jews, by calling the land "your own land."***

24Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean; from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.

25And a new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.

26AndI will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.

27AND YE SHALL DWELL IN THE LAND THAT I GAVE TO YOUR FATHERS; AND YE SHALL BE MY PEOPLE, AND I WILL BE YOUR GOD.

The Arabs have no rights to the land of Israel whatsoever.
"he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye." Zechariah 2:8

If you touch Israel,you touch the apple of God's eye is what God's prophet Zechariah has forewarned.

The Holy Scriptures clearly show that the Lord God  gave this piece of land that He calls HIS LAND to Israel and describes what He is about to do with the Jewish people while in their own land again in the text of Ezekiel Chapter 36. God, according to the prophet Ezekiel, is not giving His land to Israel because they deserve it or are better than anyone else, but because His great name and His Word is at stake here. He is fulfilling His covenant land  promise given to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; nor do the Jewish leaders of Israel have any right to negotiate away what God had intended for them.
