Faith: out of weakness we are made strong !

 

(Hebrews 11:1)  Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

(click on the link and have Hebrews 11 read to you)

(Hebrews 11:2)  For by it the elders obtained a good report.

(Hebrews 11:3)  Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

(Hebrews 11:4)  By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.

(Hebrews 11:5)  By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.

(Hebrews 11:6)  But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Under His wings we safely abide!

(Hebrews 11:7)  By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.

(Hebrews 11:8)  By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.

(Hebrews 11:9)  By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:

(Hebrews 11:10)  For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

(Hebrews 11:11)  Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.
(Hebrews 11:12)  Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable.

(Hebrews 11:13)  These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

(Hebrews 11:14)  For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.

(Hebrews 11:15)  And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.

(Hebrews 11:16)  But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.

(Hebrews 11:17)  By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son,

(Hebrews 11:18)  Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called:

(Hebrews 11:19)  Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure.

(Hebrews 11:20)  By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.

(Hebrews 11:21)  By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff.

(Hebrews 11:22)  By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones.

(Hebrews 11:23)  By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king's commandment.

(Hebrews 11:24)  By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;

(Hebrews 11:25)  Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;

(Hebrews 11:26)  Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.

(Hebrews 11:27)  By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.

(Hebrews 11:28)  Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them.

(Hebrews 11:29)  By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned.

(Hebrews 11:30)  By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about seven days.

(Hebrews 11:31)  By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, when she had received the spies with peace.

(Hebrews 11:32)  And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets:

(Hebrews 11:33)  Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,

(Hebrews 11:34)  Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.

(Hebrews 11:35)  Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection:

(Hebrews 11:36)  And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment:

(Hebrews 11:37)  They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented;

(Hebrews 11:38)  (Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.

(Hebrews 11:39)  And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise:

(Hebrews 11:40)  God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.

In the Beginning was the Word

We called him Jesus Christ

He fulfilled the Law for us

We have his life credited to our account.

Is this true?  Yes.

We are saved by his life not our works

It is a Gift.

"Shall I leave their innocent blood unavenged? No, I will not.”

The Prophecy of Joel 3!

(Joel 3:1)  For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,

(Joel 3:2)  I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, 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 3:3)  And they have cast lots for my people; and have given a boy for an harlot, and sold a girl for wine, that they might drink.

(Joel 3:4)  Yea, and what have ye to do with me, O Tyre, and Zidon, and all the coasts of Palestine? will ye render me a recompence? and if ye recompense me, swiftly and speedily will I return your recompence upon your own head;

(Joel 3:5)  Because ye have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried into your temples my goodly pleasant things:

(Joel 3:6)  The children also of Judah and the children of Jerusalem have ye sold unto the Grecians, that ye might remove them far from their border.

(Joel 3:7)  Behold, I will raise them out of the place whither ye have sold them, and will return your recompence upon your own head:

(Joel 3:8)  And I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the children of Judah, and they shall sell them to the Sabeans, to a people far off: for the LORD hath spoken it.

(Joel 3:9)  Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up:

(Joel 3:10)  Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong.

(Joel 3:11)  Assemble yourselves, and come, all ye heathen, and gather yourselves together round about: thither cause thy mighty ones to come down, O LORD.

(Joel 3:12)  Let the heathen be wakened, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the heathen round about.

(Joel 3:13)  Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, get you down; for the press is full, the fats overflow; for their wickedness is great.

(Joel 3:14)  Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.

(Joel 3:15)  The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining.

(Joel 3:16)  The LORD also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the LORD will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel.

Israel In Photos

(Joel 3:17)  So shall ye know that I am the LORD your God dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain: then shall Jerusalem be holy, and there shall no strangers pass through her any more.

(Joel 3:18)  And it shall come to pass in that day, that the mountains shall drop down new wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the rivers of Judah shall flow with waters, and a fountain shall come forth of the house of the LORD, and shall water the valley of Shittim.

(Joel 3:19)  Egypt shall be a desolation, and Edom shall be a desolate wilderness, for the violence against the children of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land.

(Joel 3:20)  But Judah shall dwell for ever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation.

How can I be saved?

(Joel 3:21)  For I will cleanse their blood that I have not cleansed: for the LORD dwelleth in Zion.

Matthew 25:1-13

(Daniel 7:9)  I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire.

(Daniel 7:10)  A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.


 (Matthew 25:45)  Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.

(Matthew 25:46)  And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

 The Destruction of the Temple and Signs of the End Times:
 Matthew 24:1

  The Parable of the Ten Virgins = Taken OR Left behind:
Matthew 25:1

This part of the Olivet discourse goes beyond the "What are the signs?" questions of Peter and the disciples (Matthew 24:3) and presents our Lord's return in three aspects:

(1) As testing profession, (Matthew 25:1-13) i.e. lip service Christians.

(2) as testing service, (Matthew 25:14-30);  i.e. grace plus works James.

(3) as testing the Gentile nations, (Matthew 25:31-46). i.e. our Inheritance since the creation of the world


The Parable of the virgins:

The kingdom of heaven here is the sphere of profession, as in Matthew 13. All alike have lamps, but two facts fix the real status of the foolish virgins: They "took no oil," and the Lord said, "I know you not." Oil is the symbol of the Holy Spirit, and "If any man have not the spirit of Christ, he is none of his" (Romans 8:9).

Nor could the Lord say to any believer, however unspiritual, "I know you not."

 (Matthew 3:2) Notes

    (1) The phrase, kingdom of heaven (literally, of the heavens), is peculiar to Matthew and signifies the Messianic earth rule of Jesus Christ, the Son of David. It is called the kingdom of the heavens because it is the rule of the heavens over the earth (Matthew 6:10) The phrase is derived from Daniel, where it is defined; (Daniel 2:34-36); (Daniel 2:44); (Daniel 7:23-27) as the kingdom which the God of heaven will set up after the destruction by "the stone cut out without hands," of the Gentile world-system. It is the kingdom covenanted to David's seed (2Samuel 7:7-10) described in the prophets;

Zechariah 12:8

Summary of the Old Testament Kingdom :

I. Dominion over the earth before the call of Abraham

(1) Dominion over creation was given to the first man and woman (Genesis_1:26); (Genesis 1:28). Through the fall this dominion was lost, Satan becoming "prince of this world"; (Matthew 4:8-10); (John 14:30).

(2) After the flood, the principle of human government was established under the covenant with Noah

 (Genesis 9:1 See Scofield NOTE).

Biblically this is still the charter of all Gentile government.


II. The Theocracy in Israel :

 The call of Abraham involved, with much else, the creation of a distinctive people through whom great purposes of God toward the race might be worked out.

(see "Israel" (Genesis 12:1-3); (Romans 11:26).

Among these purposes is the establishment of a universal kingdom. The order of the development of Divine rule in Israel is:

(1) The mediatorship of Moses (Exodus 3:1-10); (Exodus 19:9); (Exodus 24:12).

(2) The leadership of Joshua (Joshua 1:1-5).

(3) The institution of Judges (Judges 2:16-18).

(4) The popular rejection of the Theocracy, and choice of a king -- Saul, (1 Samuel 8:1-7);
 (1 Samuel 9:12-17).


III. The Davidic kingdom

(1) The divine choice of David (1 Samuel 16:1-13).

(2) The giving of the Davidic Covenant (2 Samuel 7:8-16); (Psalms_89:3); (Psalms_89:4); (Psalms_89:20); (Psalms_89:21); (Psalms_89:28-37).

(3) The exposition of the Davidic Covenant by the prophets (Isaiah 1:25-26); (Zechariah 12:6-8).


The kingdom as described by the prophets is:

a) Davidic, to be established under an heir of David, who is to be born of a virgin, therefore truly man, but also "Immanuel," "the mighty God, the everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace" (Isaiah 7:13); (Isaiah 7:14); (Isaiah_9:6); (Isaiah 9:7); (Isaiah 11:1); (Jeremiah 23:5); (Ezekiel 34:23); (Ezekiel 37:24); (Hosea 3:4); (Hosea 3:5).

b) A kingdom heavenly in origin, principle, and authority (Daniel 2:34); (Daniel 2:35); (Daniel 2:44); (Daniel 2:45) but set up on the earth, with Jerusalem as the capital; (Isaiah 2:2-4); (Isaiah 4:3); (Isaiah 4:5); (Isaiah 24:23); (Isaiah 33:20); (Isaiah 62:1-7); (Jeremiah 23:5); (Jeremiah 31:38-40); (Joel 3:1); (Joel 3:16); (Joel 3:17).

c) The kingdom is to be established first over regathered, restored, and converted Israel, and then to become universal (Psalms 2:6-8); (Psalms 22:1); (Psalms_22:1-10); (Isaiah 1:2); (Isaiah 1:3); (Isaiah _11:1); (Isaiah 11:10-13); (Isaiah 11:12); (Jeremiah 23:5-8); (Jeremiah 30:7-11); (Ezekiel 20:33-40);
(Ezekiel 37:21-25); (Zechariah 9:10); (Zechariah 14:16-19).

d) The moral characteristics of the kingdom are to be righteousness and peace. The meek, not the proud, will inherit the earth; longevity will be greatly increased; the knowledge of the Lord will be universal; beast ferocity will be removed; absolute equity will be enforced; and outbreaking sin visited with instant judgment; while the enormous majority of earth's inhabitants will be saved (Isaiah 11:4); (Isaiah 11:6-9);
(Isaiah  65:20); (Psalms 2:9); (Isaiah 26:9); (Zechariah 14:16-21). The New Testament
(Revelations 20:1-5); adds a detail of immense significance -- the removal of Satan from the scene. It is impossible to conceive to what heights of spiritual, intellectual, and physical perfection humanity will attain in this, its coming age of righteousness and peace. (Isaiah  11:4-9); (Psalms 72:1-10).

e) The kingdom is to be established by power, not persuasion, and is to follow divine judgment upon the Gentile world-powers (Psalms 2:4-9); (Isaiah 9:7); (Daniel 2:35); (Daniel 2:44); (Daniel 2:45);
 (Daniel  7:26); (Daniel 7:27); (Zechariah 14:1-19) (See Scofield) - (Zechariah 6:11).

f) The restoration of Israel and the establishment of the kingdom are connected with an advent of the Lord, yet future (Deuteronomy 30:3-5); (Psalms 2:1-9); (Zechariah 14:4).

g) The chastisement reserved for disobedience in the house of David (2Samuel 7:14); (Psalms 89:30-33) fell in the captivities and world-wide dispersion, since which time, though a remnant returned under prince Zerubbabel, Jerusalem has been under the overlordship of Gentile. But the Davidic Covenant has not been abrogated (Psalms 89:33-37) but is yet to be fulfilled. (Acts 15:14-17).

(See Scofield) - (Hebrews 1:4).


and confirmed to Jesus the Christ, the Son of Mary, through the angel Gabriel (Luke 1:32-33).

(2) The kingdom of heaven has three aspects in Matthew:

    (a) "at hand" from the beginning of the ministry of John the Baptist (Matthew 3:2) to the virtual rejection of the King, and the announcement of the new brotherhood (Matthew 12:46-50).

b) in seven "mysteries of the kingdom of heaven," to be fulfilled during the present age (Matthew 13:1-52) to which are to be added the parables of the kingdom of heaven which were spoken after those of
Matthew  13, and which have to do with the sphere of Christian profession during this age;

c) the prophetic aspect -- the kingdom to be set up after the return of the King in glory.
(Matthew 24:29-25:1); (Matthew 24:46); (Luke 19:12-19); (Acts 15:14-17).

See "Kingdom (New Testament)"; (Luke 1:33); (1Corinthians 15:28).

Matthew 25:32


And before him

This judgment is to be distinguished from the judgment of the great white throne. Here there is no resurrection; the persons judged are living nations; no books are opened; three classes are present, sheep, goats, and brethren; the time is at the return of Christ (Matthew 25:31); and the scene is on the earth. All these particulars are in contrast with (Revelations 20:11-15).

The test in this judgment is the treatment accorded by the nations to those whom Christ here call "my brethren." These "brethren" are the Jewish Remnant who will have preached the Gospel of the kingdom to all nations during the tribulation.

See "Remnant" (Isaiah 1:9); (Romans 11:5).

The test in (Revelations 20:11-15) is the possession of eternal life.

See, for the other six judgments:

The Irrelevance of the Media should they be disregarded?

 As Christians,  We get our final word from the Bible, and the Holy Spirit which is our guide in this temporal World we live in. There is a lot of confusion in the world, the west spins the news to suite there agenda and the East spins the news to suite its agenda. Our cry is: THUS saith the Lord, which comes from a prayerful reading of the Bible, asking the Lord to give us Wisdom, waiting for the Lord and NOT trusting in our intellect but waiting on the Lord. NO one but the Lord knows when all these things will come to pass. It has been the Last Days from Pentecost until now. WATCH AND WAIT. Christians are again in the situation of having our Mana given to us one day at a time.

Russian reporters are saying that the illegitimate Government in place now is made up of Neo-Nazi Sympathizers! RT.com days That the US is backing who ever meets their needs at any given time. IN Syria the US is backing The Muslim Brotherhood to take over ASSAD. It would seem that the Media has made anything that is said by either side ... Irrelevant!

The Bible has the answer to the issues of Life and Death.

Do not listen to anyone but the Holy Spirit as Christians our Trust is in the Lord and He will guide us no matter how much the world is taken to their Lies. Many false teachers are among us ...

The True Message is Trust the Lord with all your Heart DO NOT trust man DO NOT trust even your own intellect .... RUN to the Lord and Ask the LORD to help you ... Many Many people will come in His Name claiming to have the answer DO NOT trust them ...

READ THE BIBLE FOR YOURSELF!

THIS is the LAST DAYS :


(2 Timothy 3:1)  This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

(2 Timothy 3:2)  For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

(2 Timothy 3:3)  Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

(2 Timothy 3:4)  Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

(2 Timothy 3:5)  Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

Apostasy, Summary:

Apostasy, "falling away," is the act of professed Christians who deliberately reject revealed truth

(1) as to the deity of Jesus Christ, and

(2) redemption through His atoning and redeeming sacrifice (1John 4:1-3); (Philippians 3:18); (2Peter 2:1). Apostasy differs from error concerning truth, which may be the result of ignorance (Acts 19:1-6) or heresy, which may be due to the sphere of Satan (2Ti_2:25); (2Ti_2:26) both of which may consist with true faith.

The apostate is perfectly described in (2Ti_4:3); (2Ti_4:4). Apostates depart from the faith, but not from the outward profession of Christianity (2Ti_3:5). Apostate teachers are described in; (2Ti_4:3); (2Pe_2:1-19); (Jude 1:4); (Jud_1:8); (Jud_1:11-13); (Jude 1:16).  They back up what they say with yes men, do not be consenting in their sins, trust the Bible and your guide, do not trust men. READ the Bible yourself.

Apostasy in the church, as in Israel (Isaiah 1:5); (Isaiah 1:6); (Isa_5:5-7) is irremediable, and awaits judgment; (2Thesilionians 2:10-12); (2Peter 2:17); (2 Peter 2:21); (Jud_1:11-15); (Rev_3:14-16).




MY SHEEP HEAR MY VOICE!

EXAMINE YOURSELF TO SEE IF YOU ARE IN THE FAITH

LET THE LORD EXAMINE HIS OWN, HE IS A BETTER JUDGE THAN YOU WILL EVER BE, ....... PARDNER!

NOT BITTER ... NOT BETTER ....  JUST .... RIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION !

FAITHFUL ARE THE WOUNDS OF A TRUE FRIEND ... 

DECEITFUL ARE THE KISSES OF AN ENEMY

LOOK UP OUR REDEMPTION DRAWETH NIEGH!

Gold and the Refiners Fire!

 (Proverbs 16:18)  Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.

When men defy God's judgments, and think themselves far from them, it is a sign they are at the door. Let us not fear the pride of others, but fear pride in ourselves.

(Ecclesiastes 10:8)  He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him.

Solomon appears to caution men not to seek redress in a hasty manner, nor to yield to pride and revenge. Do not, in a passion, quit thy post of duty; wait awhile, and thou wilt find that yielding pacifies great offences. Men are not preferred according to their merit. And those are often most forward to offer help, who are least aware of the difficulties, or the consequences. The same remark is applied to the church, or the body of Christ, that all the members should have the same care one for another.

Psalms 59:7-17

It is our wisdom and duty, in times of danger and difficulty, to wait upon God; for he is our defence, in whom we shall be safe. It is very comfortable to us, in prayer, to look to God as the God of our mercy, the Author of all good in us, and the Giver of all good to us. The wicked can never be satisfied, which is the greatest misery in a poor condition. A contented man, if he has not what he would have, yet he does not quarrel with Providence, nor fret within himself. It is not poverty, but discontent that makes a man unhappy. David would praise God because he had many times, and all along, found Him his refuge in the day of trouble. He that is all this to us, is certainly worthy of our best affections, praises, and services. The trials of his people will end in joy and praise. When the night of affliction is over, they will sing of the Lord's power and mercy in the morning. Let believers now, in assured faith and hope, praise Him for those mercies, for which they will rejoice and praise him for ever.

Are WE Three Steps away from War with Russia, Gog and Magog?

If we are about to begin the War that is spoken of in Ezekiel 38 and Ezekiel 39 . We know that God is on his throne and He will take care of his children. It might not be as comfortable as we are used to, we might be subject to persecution for our beliefs. That being said "What should we be doing as Christians?" Filling our selves with the Holy Spirit!

(Ezekiel 38:1)  And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

(Ezekiel 38:2)  Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,

(Ezekiel 39:1)  Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:

(Ezekiel 39:2)  And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee, and will cause thee to come up from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel:

Fox News Middle Eastern commentary on Russia Ukraine Conflict is all over the News this morning.

If you compare the maps you will notice that Crimea is the island which connects to Ukraine and Russia on the Black Sea.  This island is important if you are going to take back the lands lost from the Soviet Union ... !  Russia has invaded Crimea that is a done deal. They have blocked entry into the Black Sea that is a done deal. It is a straight shot to Germany from Russia through Ukraine. Hitler Started in Germany Putin is starting in Russia!

Fox News Commentator is saying that We only have two choices WAR or Negotiate with Putin. From a human point of View historically we tried to reason with Hitler and that failed ...  using History as a lesson War is the only answer.

This is the closest we have ever been to War with Russia. If Russian PM Putin has already said that the biggest mistake Russia has made is to let the Soviet Union get broken into smaller nations and He sees President Obama as weak and indecisive then this probably is the right time for Russia to give it a go. 

As Christians we know that there is going to be a 3rd World War What we do not know is when.

Jesus Christ has told us many times to be watching the signs for his return to claim his Church.

This is not the time to be picking the lint out of your navel and going about like it is business as usual. This is the time to be speaking and doing the work of the lord. What is that work it is to fill ourselves with the Word of God, to be examining ourselves to make sure we are in the faith. To be instant in season to give people a reason for the hope that we have in us. Salvation.

If you are not sure about your salvation then go to the Lord and ask him into your heart, ask him to open your eyes and give you wisdom. If you have anything against your brothers or sisters this is the time to settle it so that your prayers will not be hindered. If your treasure is in heaven then that will be where your heart is. These are very exciting times to be alive. Just think we might very well be the ones to be here when the Lord returns.

(Psalms 83:3)  They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.

(Psalms 83:4)  They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.

(Psalms 83:5)  For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee:

(Psalms 83:6)  The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes;

(Psalms 83:7)  Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;

(Psalms 83:8)  Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah.

What does the Bible Say about Israel and a two-state-solution?

We as Christians should love Israel not because She is perfect but because the Bible tell us to love her. Our Savior Jesus Christ IS an Israelite.

The whole world is being blessed by Israel through Jesus Christ Our Messiah.

Isaiah 11:1


The Davidic kingdom

The order of events in Isaiah 10, 11, is noteworthy. Isaiah 10 gives the distress of the Remnant in Palestine in the great tribulation. (Psalms 2:5); (Revelations 7:14) and the approach and destruction of the Gentile host under the Beast.      

(Daniel  7:8); (Revelations 19:20). Isaiah 11 immediately follows with its glorious picture of the kingdom-age. Precisely the same order is found in Revelation 19, 20.  (Genesis 1:26-28); (Zechariah 12:8) New Testament; (Luke 1:31-33); (1Corinthians 15:28). Also

(Matthew 3:2). (Matthew 6:33).

That nothing of this occurred at the first coming of Christ is evident from a comparison of the history of the times of Christ with this and all the other parallel prophecies. So far from regathering dispersed Israel and establishing peace in the earth, His crucifixion was soon followed (A.D. 70) by the destruction of Jerusalem, and the utter scattering of the Palestinian Jews amongst the nations.


shall come forth a rod

This chapter is a prophetic picture of the glory of the future kingdom. This is the kingdom announced by John Baptist as "at hand." It was then rejected, but will be set up when David's Son returns in glory (Luke 1:31); (Luke 1:32); (Acts 15:15); (Acts 15:16) (Acts 28:28).


Branch

(Isaiah 4:2).


The Bible is not made clear to you until you ask Jesus to come into your life. When you are born again you need know one to teach you, You are taught by God himself, the Holy Spirit guides you into all truth. If you are not save then ask the Lord Jesus Christ to come in an open your eyes to the Truth. The Gospel of John is the first place for new Christians to start John 1 The Word John 1:14 made flesh then born again John 3:17. I hope you find peace with Jesus Christ. You can do that right where you are in your hotel room or in your college dormitory or where ever you are. I hope you find him.
