ISRAEL-GOG SCROLL Presented To President Bush

Here's an interesting and prophetic article I found on Israel National News today.

Scroll to Mr. Bush Reminds Him of His Historic Role, and in part reads:

"TO THE HONORABLE MR. GEORGE W. BUSH, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

ESTEEMED MR. GEORGE W. BUSH, THE CHIEF PRINCE OF MESHECH AND TUBAL (EZEKIEL 38:1) OF THE WEST."

The Scroll will be presented to President Bush during his historic visit to the Holy Land of Israel in his push to divide this SACRED LAND, in an appeasement of Israel's enemies, by a group of renowned orthodox Rabbis of Israel, and names Mr. Bush as "Gog" (of the West) who is prophesied about in Ezekiel Chapter 38:

"AND the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Me-shech and Tubal, and prophesy against him, And say, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:" 1-3

The five page Scroll document can be viewed in a larger quality for easy reading at the Temple Site here, with its stern message and warning from the writers to President Bush concerning the LAND OF ISRAEL AND THE JEWISH PEOPLE, WHOM THE CREATOR GOD ORIGINALLY PROMISED IT TO THROUGH THE ABRAHAMIC COVENANT. Leviticus Chapter 25:23 tells us in plain words "The land shall not be sold for ever; FOR THE LAND IS MINE; for ye are strangers and sojourners with me." This is God speaking here, through His Holy Spirit to His prophet Moses, who wrote it down for all generations. The creator God calls the land HIS own personal possession, and it is not to be sold, bartered, given away or whatever word you want to use to justify meddling with the giving away of and cutting up the land of Israel to Israel's enemies.

Update: January 12, 2008

We know from the Word of God that all nations, including the USofA, will go against Israel in the latter times, (which we are indeed living in today) as we have witnessed very recently in the so-called Annapolis peace summit, and as God's prophet has prophesied in Joel Chapter 3.

"FOR, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and JERUSALEM,

I will also gather ALL NATIONS, and will bring them down into the valley of Je-hosh-a-phat, 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."1-2 Notice here that the creator God calls the land of Israel HIS land again, and Israel HIS Heritage.

The words written by these orthodox Rabbis in this historic Biblical Scroll to President Bush are quite foreboding , as God throughout Jewish history in the Old Testament always warned the leaders through his prophets before God's judgment fell on its leaders and the people. No one, including Mr. Bush, can say he was not warned. Likewise, Jesus Christ who was a foreshadow of the things to come, fulfilled the law and the prophets as it is written; Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill Matthew 5:17; therefore, at the same time, these Rabbi "scholars" must certainly know that Mr. Bush is not the Gog the prophet Ezekiel is speaking of in Ezekiel Chapter 38, because Ezekiel, in verse 15 mentions Gog as coming out of the north parts and not the west: 15 "And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee;" I find it ironic, indeed, in that these Rabbi scholars, the likes of whom Jesus the Messiah of Israel rebuked in his day for their refusal to accept Him as the Messiah of Israel; (To these pharisees, Jesus said:)

"Ye are from beneath; I am from above; ye are of this world; I am not of this world. I said therefore unto you,that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins." John 8:23,24

continue to refuse to look at the multitude of Hebrew Scriptures throughout the Old Testament that testify to the Messiahship of Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ; but cunningly and selectively choose to call Mr. Bush Gog knowing full well that this scripture cannot apply to President Bush at all because of the location Ezekiel pinpoints Gog coming from, which is "out of the north parts."

Nevertheless, God's prophet Isaiah, in Chapter 11, tells us that all who go against Judah will be cut off.

"And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.

........and the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off." vs. 12,13

I fear that tampering with God's Holy City of Jerusalem as Mr. Bush is doing in his push to divide the Holy City to create a "palestinian terrorist state" within the biblical heartland of Israel is a slap in the face to the creator God, and will result in severe consequences as God's prophets have forewarned. God's prophet Zechariah tells us in Chapter 12:

"The burden of the word of the Lord for Israel, saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him. 1

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. 2.

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." 3

The handwriting is on the wall for all who have eyes to see, and there is most definitely a spirit of antichrist at work pushing to divide up Jerusalem. At the same time, these orthodox Jewish Rabbi's need to turn to Christ Jesus the Messiah of Israel themselves for the salvation of their souls. Even the religious Rabbis and religious Jew understands that God's way for the atonement of sin, or redeeming oneself is through blood. As it is written in Leviticus 17:11: "For the life of the flesh is in the blood; and I have given it to you upon the alter to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul."

They are right about the land of Israel insofar as no one has a right to give any of it away to anyone. God, in His Word, has vowed to defend Israel in the latter days and this He will do, just as He has said He would bring the Jewish people back to their ancient homeland of Israel after 2,000 years of exile of being scattered among the nations, after which the nation of Israel was rebirthed in a day, which we have witnessed in our generation.

DR. MICHAEL L. BROWN, OLD TESTAMENT JEWISH

scholar, and follower of Yeshua, the Messiah for thirty -four years presents an outstanding lecture right here in this video for all of our Jewish friends. Dr. Brown holds a Ph.d in Near Eastern Languanges and Literature from New York University and is a contributor to the Oxford Dictionary of Jewish Religion, and is the author of the highly acclaimed multi-volume series -answering Jewish objections to Jesus. He is also well known for his debates with orthodox Rabbis on radio and television and brings a wealth of experience to this subject. Either Jesus is the Messiah of all or He is the Messiah of no one. Which is it? With Scriptural references you have not heard before, Dr. Brown compels our Jewish friends to look at the scriptural evidence right here in this video, since Yeshua is Jewish, and answer this question.

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.

"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.
