Edition 33 - The Prophetic Scroll

a shofarminelogo

This website is distinctly Messianic, comprising the Abrahamic expression of faith, which is to the Jew and the Gentile with a Hebraic character. We affirm the fullness of absolute truth contained in the Bible, embracing the cross and identifying with the convocations of the Lord as seen in the Feasts, the Sabbath and Passover. We reject the legalism of many in the Messianic movement. We reject the Babylonian Pagan traditions of the church. We consider all people Jews and Gentiles and those in all churches who are truly born of the Spirit of the living God to be one family. We reject institutional organised denominationalism (division). We foresee a great falling away of much of the church in these days, while at the same time a great restoration of part of the church. We affirm and identify with God's plan and call to the Jewish people in these days and will support and stand with them as future brothers and sisters. We stand happily with pre / mid/ and post tribbers. Our slant is cautiously pre-trib, but hey, post tribber...you're still family! Today much error has been added to Christendom and much truth has been removed. The Prophetic Scroll's aim is to deal with these issues and assist you on your road to glory.

I was saved in 1976 and became extremely interested in Bible prophecy, being an ex war-correspondent and photographer. My calling and aim is to share the dramatic and all-important issues of prophecy relating to our day. This is a calling to unfold and share the wisdom of God as contained in His word. There is also much teaching in these pages for your heart. It’s not all prophecy! Please study these things further yourself and understand that the format is non-exhaustive. Please search the scriptures to “see if these be true.” This is a "watchman" and Bible prophecy teaching website.

●Talk about Irony! Trump meets Abbas, (meaning father) the Palestinian leader in Bethlehem the place of the birth of the Prince of Peace to discuss a new peace effort and deal! But the Prince of Peace is again banished!

●While Trump tries to appease Islam in Saudi Arabia, and the mass media continues to lie to the world that Islam is peace; we see the heart of it being manifest in the savagery of the Manchester bombing. Trump says, “Drive out the terrorists” and they blow up the innocents!

●Iran’s re-elected Rouhani says we will continue with our missile development and tests. He dismissed Trump’s Arab summit and his remarks against militant Iran. So nothing has changed?

●The Trump visit to the Middle East has killed and buried the Obama policies, which all favoured the “other side.”

Shabbat (Sabbath) begins on Fridays at 6pm and ends on Saturdays at 6pm. The purpose is to help the church and Israel become reconciled in Messiah and to identify the rift, and the needed restoration. There is much in the church that needs to change before it can be fully reconciled with the Jew. Likewise, changes in Jewish thinking are also needed.

19^th May 2017

Shabbat Shalom to all:

The curse of replacement theology:

Replacement theology will get you cursed by God! But, as they say...there is more! It will get your finances cursed as well. (Genesis 12:1-3)

Now consider: Psalm 122:6-7 “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: May they prosper who love you. Peace within your walls, prosperity within your palaces.” You can have Godly peace or be cursed by God.

Replacement theology is the belief that God has finished with the Jews and replaced them with the church. Did you know that God curses people for changing the Bible?

Replacement theology requires that you change and replace the Bible words “Israel” or “Jews”, when spoken of prophetically, with the church. They claim that you must change the word "Jerusalem" for the church.

They believe that all the curses are now for the Jews while all the blessings are for the church.

So, who gave you, replacement theology supporters, the authority to change the word of God? You may argue that you’re not changing the Bible. Oh yes? Not only are you changing the Bible but you are changing and eliminating the results of God’s word for the Jews. You deceived Nazi-spirited liars!

How to identify the cursed replacement theology advocates.

Those of replacement theology also replace Jerusalem with the church. They say it has no prophetic significance because it’s all the church now. They are actually one with Satan in trying to destroy the results of God’s word.

Zechariah 3:2 “The Lord said to Satan, The Lord rebuke you, Satan! The Lord who has chosen Jerusalem, rebuke you!

Some ministries are simply, plainly and apparently against the Jews. Do yourself a favour and run away from them fast. Don’t stop and don’t look back!

Some are more subtle about it. They hold to, and promote doctrines that have hidden agendas, which when fully manifest will be against God’s work in Israel now.

A good example is those who teach that the Feasts of the Lord have no future prophetic fulfilment because all seven have already been fulfilled. That sounds good and true. It is not! These people also take the liberty of changing God’s word by rearranging the biblical order of the feasts.

You may think that is no big deal. It is an enormous deal. It curses them for changing the Bible to suit themselves, and it has the final result of replacing Israel with the church.

You will never hear them teaching or preaching in their churches on God’s spectacular plan for the Jews in bringing salvation to the world in the final years.

Any Bible teacher of any sort has the God -commanded instruction of presenting His word for this time – fully and completely. If you change the word in any way, you are cursed and not to be trusted with one word.

Identifying those in the truth in this regard:

Israel-map-tree

The key word is “identification.”

Let me ask you this: If you were a wild talking tree and someone grafted your branch into a healthy big ancient tree, would you identify with your host tree? Would you not be thankful that you are now partaking of the health and nourishment of the big tree and its root?

Romans 11:2-26 “God has not cast away His people (Jews) whom He foreknew...Have they stumbled that they should fall? Certainly not...Their acceptance will be life from the dead for the world...You (Gentile believers) being grafted in with them became a partaker of the root and fatness of the olive tree. Do not boast against them...you do not support the root, but it supports you...Do not be haughty but fear, for if God did not spare the natural branches, He may not spare you either...Continue in His goodness otherwise you will also be cut off...Hardening in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in, and so all Israel will be saved.”

The discourse above is one of the most profound in the Bible. It is full of incredible promises and curses. It promises to cut-off those of replacement theology. If you know and understand these verses you are safe.

But there is more!

If you know and believe these verses above, you will identify with the entire olive tree. The root is God and His word, the natural branches are the Jews about to be saved en-masse, and the wild olive branches are the Gentile, Christian Zionists.

You will identify with the entire tree in thinking, in prayer, in speech, in standing, in support, and in visible identification with Hebraic items, like the menorah, the tallit, the shofar and the like.

In some churches there is no visible identification anywhere with any part of the olive tree. And not surprisingly, that church will avoid the subject of God’s plans for the Jews, or they will be silent on it.

These churches are then identified with the half-baked churches of the world.

They are identified with the churches that any Jew would not like to enter. They are identified with the churches that have changed God’s word, cursed the Jew and blessed themselves...so they think!

Their great shock which is coming is that God has cursed them and will soon fully bless Israel! What a slap in the face they have coming!

How to break these curses:

First you must study God’s word relating to God’s covenant people. You need to change your belief system in this regard to line up with the Bible and what God is doing now. You need to repent of your arrogance and belief in Satan’s word. You need to speak and confess in prayer your support and blessing for God’s work in Israel. You need to distance yourself from those of replacement theology.

These are prophetic days:

This is a critical time for discernment and dividing between truth and error.

So much is happening right now that the prophets wrote about thousands of years ago. These are days of great victories and coming reward. They are days of great failure and eternal regret for many too! Pick your choice and do what is required!

It’s all warming up right now!

Shalom † Joel.

Edition 33. March 18th 2010

In this edition:

●News events and issues.

●The coming of the Lord.

In the news:

News events and issues of prophetic importance.

●The CIA of the US and M16 of the UK and some other top spy agencies whom I don't want to name now are saying that Iran may have a working nuclear bomb by April 2011. You can be absolutely sure that Israel will not allow nuclear weapons in Iran to get anywhere near to the "working" stage.

●Der Spiegel says that according to its sources Iran may be able to have a simple nuclear bomb ready before the end of this year.

●The Times of London has just reported that Iran already has a neutron initiator. That's the A-bomb trigger mechanism.

Be aware that Iran's enemy is not only Israel and the West but the Sunni-based oil states of the region. Iran has also got Iraq in its sights. It has not forgiven nor forgotten the war between them some years ago.

Most people in the West don't have the foggiest idea how deep rooted the divisions and hatreds are between the Sunnis and Shites. I can tell you now that Iran is funding Shia rebels in Yemen and Iraq as well as in its big prize, Saudi Arabia. Yes Iran wants to wipe Israel off the map, but it also wants to be recognized as a world leader and to get revenge on its Arab enemies.

●Iran has a massive Shia network of supporters and fighters in Afghanistan and Lebanon (Hezbollah) and in many other regions.

●Iran may well unify all of these objectives into one huge thrust against Israel. In this scenario it would kill two birds with one stone or so it thinks.

●Abu Dhabi has just spent $17 billion on anti missile hardware. The UAE and Saudi Arabia have recently together spent $25 billion on defensive systems. In fact Saudi Arabia is seen by many Arabs as a totally corrupt US ally. They are all preparing for war between Arab factions.

You can be sure that this Jihad-generation will be savage ruthless and it will all involve oil. This will have dramatic consequences for the world economy. I have carefully studied all the wars in the Middle East since the Second World War and all of them sent the oil price higher in varying degrees. Right now the world economy is still on crutches and in fact may be ready to head for the dreaded double dip recession. A sharply rising oil price now would knock the world economy right off it's crutches and onto its back!

We are on the verge of an epic Arab Sunni / Shia show-down to put them all to shame and the great prophesied conflicts between the Arab world and Israel. The fuse for full-on war is burning! We are now in the short lull before the storm.

●At the same time Europe is heading for greater upheavals as the sovereign debt issues spiral out of control. You aint seen nothing yet! Greece may be off the radar for now, but it won't be for long. The pain in Spain is about to hit the fan. Germany is in big trouble, with no hope of getting out of it's debt without very severe austerity programs that will bring their own additional problems. France is teetering on the brink and the UK is in huge financial trouble, much of which is still to surface.

The point is that Europe is in transition to its ill-fated epic end-time destination.

●World stock markets have done very well since the March 08 low. Most of the major markets have been in a good upward trend in anticipation of global economic recovery. Stock markets are always anticipatory. They price in the future about six to nine months down the line. Back in March 08, the world was still in its crushing recession, yet that was the start of the market upturn and bull run. It was anticipatory.

But now we are seeing a gradual topping out of the markets. They have run out of momentum and could be ready for another severe downturn. They would be pricing in a soon coming new economic crisis. 26 of the world's emerging markets will be a lot less affected, but they will be clobbered by the coming fiscal meltdown in the developed world.

The US is well beyond becoming an empire of unsustainable debt. Uncle Sam and his sidekick Humpty Obama will soon watch as their empire comes down like the tower of Babel!

●The gold price is likely to rocket as it's safe haven status comes into play, although this won't last into the tribulation period.

What we are going to see soon is the rise of Islamic Jihad, the arise of conflict with Israel, the restructure and re-mergence of Europe and the rise of Catholicism combined with lukewarm churches into a Satanically driven world religious leadership system (The false prophet)

The soon coming of the Lord:

deadseafrag

In previous editions I have touched on some of these issues, but I now want to include additional important insights and give you a very clear picture as we put the pieces of the puzzle together.

But first some background and an answer to the dumb critics who repeated say and teach that no one knows the time of the coming of the Lord.

Matthew 24:32-34 "Now learn (original word is a command) this parable from the fig tree. When it's branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that the summer is near. So you also when you see all these things, know (original word is a command) that it is near, even at the door. Assuredly I say to you, This generation will not pass away until all these things are fulfilled."

Bearing the original words in mind we could say: "Now, I command you to learn..." "When you see all these things, I command you to know..."

That messes up the "no one knows the time" bunch doesn't it.

The fig tree is used in many places as a reference to Israel. So what our Messiah is saying here is that when Israel becomes a nation again, the coming of the Lord is near. The generation that sees these thing, will be the final generation.

1 Thessalonians 5:1-6 "But concerning the times and season brethren, you have no need that I should write to you, for you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. For when they say peace and safety then sudden destruction comes upon them as labour pains and they shall not escape, But you brethren are not in the darkness, so this Day should overtake you as a thief...let us watch and be sober"

The above verse speaks of the fact that the Day of the Lord comes as a thief to the unsaved. For when when they (the unsaved) are saying "peace and safety" destruction comes upon them suddenly. Then the passage switches to the believers saying..."But you brethren are not in the darkness."

Note that this verse is talking of the "times and season"! My question to the "no one knows the time" mob is'''"what do you do with this verse.?

2 Peter 3:3-4 Knowing this first that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, saying. "Where is the promise of His coming? For since the father fell asleep all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation."

John 16:13 "When He the Spirit of truth has come He will guide you into all truth...He will show you things to come."

Amos 3:7 "The Lord does nothing unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets."

Daniel 12: 9,10 Go your way Daniel for these words are sealed up until the end time. Many shall be purified and made white, but the wicked will do wickedly and none of the wicked shall understand.

Zechariah 14: 7 Speaking of the coming of the Lord it says: "It shall be a day which is known to the Lord"

So now we have verses ●commanding us to know the time, ●saying that the brethren are not in the darkness about the time and season and we have the word of our Lord saying that ●He will show us things to come ●It is the wicked who shall not understand.

Some pointers towards the soon coming of the Lord:

Matthew 24:37-38 "But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of man be, for as in the days before the flood they were eating, drinking, marrying and giving in marriage until the day that Noah entered the ark."

Luke's account adds "the days of Lot"

The conditions in the days of Noah and Lot are just like the conditions today. In other words people are unprepared today, just as they were before the flood and couldn't care less about coming judgement. Even most Christians today, have little or no interest in these things. They are getting married having kids and planning for a long happy future in the world, while the warnings are all around us.

The times of Noah were also characterised by extreme evil in the world, with much violence. The times of Noah and Lot (Luke 17) were also days in which homosexuality was rife, just like today. There are many other similarities, but the main thing I want you to see is that Noah knew judgement was coming. He knew when it was coming and he spent much time warning of this impending cataclysmic judgement. Not only did he know and warn of judgment he prepared for it by building a huge boat. He didn't build it in some secret place. Everyone saw it and knew what he was doing and yet, except for eight people they didn't care.

Here are some interesting things that happened: Noah finished building the ark and filling it with animals. Then from the inside God summoned him in. God then closed and sealed the door shut. What happened next? ...Nothing at all happened. God said Genesis 7:1-4 "Then the Lord said to Noah, come into the ark you and your household...for after seven more days I will cause it to rain".

So, Noah heeded Gods warning by listening to Him and preparing for the coming judgement. Hebrews 11:7 adds some detail and says " Noah by faith, being warned of God concerning events not yet seen took heed...by this he condemned the world."

God gave many clear warnings of impending judgement. He then said it would take seven days after everything was ready and in place for the judgement to start falling from the sky. It was not and is not God's style to catch people out and catch them unprepared. God loves the world in the sense that He wants them saved. He always warns ahead of time. He has always done this and now its no different.

Yet today we have a great many (perhaps the majority) of churches teaching and preaching that no one knows the time. "Don't get into this heavy end-time stuff" they say. Many come against end-time teaching and preaching with strong arrogant attacks.

Today many churches are Laodicea through and through and on the road to disaster. They are filled with self-opinion and reject or downplay a great part of the scriptures.

The Ark.

Because the characteristics of the time we are in now are compared with the "days of Noah" in the Bible, I would not be surprised if the remnants of the ark are found soon as a confirming sign.

I've personally had a great interest in this and tried to organise an expedition to Ararat many years ago, but the government of Turkey turned it down. I then tried to organise another expedition later with Jim Irwin one of the NASA moon visitors. He had been up there to Ararat a few times before, but he died before the new trip got off the ground.

There are so many stories. legends, rumours, and evidence of varying importance of the remains of some large wooden, hand fashioned object under the ice cap in the area called the Ahora Gorge on the side of mount Ararat. The Bible says that the Ark came to rest on Ararat.

●I think God has prevented it from being found until a specific time in the near future.

The US Pentagon is rumoured to know a lot more than they've released. One piece of now-petrified, hand tooled wood was found in the snow in one season when the ice cap receded more than normal.

Mount Ararat is a dormant volcano, but it is always active with rumblings and small earth tremors. The mountain used to be much lower and has been rising in height for many years. It could be that volcanic activity or warmer temperatures will melt the ice cap and reveal just what is there.

Some applications have been put forward to the Turkish authorities to allow expeditions to use ground penetrating radar to "see" through the ice. Either way, the mountain will soon reveal its secrets. Apart from being the greatest ever archaeological discovery, it will have earth shattering, stunning, dramatic spiritual implications.

●It will be the sign that Yeshua / Jesus is coming very soon, not as a gentle lamb, but a roaring lion in judgement on an entire Christ rejecting world!

If the remnants of the ark are found soon, be very sure of one amazing thing: It will confirm to many sceptics that God's Word is true and it will be one of the final great signs that judgement is about to fall on the world.

Here are some websites relating to expeditions and searches for the remains of Noah's Ark:

Seek our Lord with all within you:

The true church of the living God is an alive born-anew organism consisting of those with the Spirit of the living God living a glorious life inside of them. Its not a divided, institutional, organised, humanistic place of tradition and control.

The world is going to go through some horrific changes soon as Satan enters the human being who will be the antichrist. Here are some of the surprising global changes revealed in Isaiah 10:13 onwards. This is speaking of the soon coming antichrist: "By the strength of my hand I have done it and by my wisdom. I have removed the boundaries of the people and have robbed their treasuries. I have put down the inhabitants like a valiant man. My hand has found like a nest, the riches of the people...I have gathered all the earth and there was no one who resisted me."

Can you see what this is saying? A time of absolute control is coming. This speaks of control of the nations of the world as they become one- world. It speaks of powerful financial control. This will be a new from of socialism like Marxist / Leninism.

Obviously it ties in perfectly with the financial system of control spoken of in the Revelation, which declares that no one will buy or sell unless they are marked and part of the antichrist system.

Be ready and get your own life right with God. Beware of the arise of institutionalised organised Laodicea! When it comes to your own personal spiritual well -being you need to realise that there is a huge gulf between the lukewarm church of toady and the truth. These churches teach you to accept things the way they are and not to rock boats of tradition. These Christians are stage-managed and taught to look no further than their own world. They become passive observers and blind followers of a very small, limited aspect of truth. This is the tragedy of much modern Christianity today. It's evident in the church, the cell group, the fellowship clubs and right through their lives. They are deeply rooted in their own ways and the ways of the world and will not change! A false unity and form of control is forced upon them.

True Bible-based Christianity was never intended to be a mechanism to promote social clubs, denominationalism, sectarianism, traditionalism, control and money centred religion or any other such thing.

Thankfully a great many believers today want to move forward with our Lord and want to change. They smell the stench of death in the institutional church. They see their self righteous churches as an obstacle to their own growth. Many wonderful believers have been dragged down and become trapped in religiosity. Religious empires of personal ambition, apathy to the truth, greed and compromise are all around us today.

The light of the living God shines into the hearts of those who are open to Him. Our glorious Messiah will take you forward with Him, if you set your heart after Him.

How can you be ready for our soon coming Messiah when your church doesn't believe it and teach it?

Its time to become a revolutionary! Revolutionaries have this simple mindset: Do whatever it takes to get closer to our wonderful Messiah! Revolutionaries are radical people and let nothing stand in their way. They are single minded as they get themselves onto God's path!

John 3: 17-19 "For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn it, but that the world through Him might be saved. He who believes in Him is not condemned, but he who does not believe is condemned already...and this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world and men loved darkness rather than light."

John 10: 7-11 "I am the door of the sheep. All who came before Me are thieves and robbers; but the sheep did not heed them. I am the door; if anyone enters by Me he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief comes only to kill and destroy; I came that you may have life, and have it abundantly. I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep."

Heaven or hell:

Your beautiful eyes will see nothing but eternal suffering with all those in hell, OR your eyes will soon look upon the glorious saviour of the world as He lovingly accepts you into heaven forever. And what makes the difference? It all depends on weather you've been born into His family, while you had the chance and time here on earth. The key is to use your eyes to look for that which you can't see just yet!

mixyoungpy

Old hands what have you done? All your works all your life will amount to nothing if you didn't have our Lord living in your heart by the new birth. All the good works your hands have done will not get you saved! But if you have been born anew, the works your hands did in His name will be rewarded and those rewards will endure forever.

In closing this edition here is a woodcut by Gustav Dore of the Ark of Noah. I have chosen this because of the significance of the days we are entering now. Many of the same characteristics of those days are with us now. "As in the days of Noah, so will it be in the days of the coming of the Lord." Thanks to the Adelaide University Librbay
