Shabbat Shalom to all!
Who owns your truth?
Jeremiah 2:11-13 “Has a nation changed its gods, which are not gods? But My people have changed their glory, for what does not profit. Be astonished O heavens at this, and be horribly afraid. Become very desolate says the Lord. For My people have committed two evils: They have forsaken Me, the fountain of living waters and hewn for themselves broken cisterns that can hold no water.”
Many people are at a crossroad right now. Which way they go will bring them great victory or deep darkness!
Jeremiah 13:15-16 “Hear and give ear; do not be proud, for the Lord has spoken. Give glory to the Lord your God, before He causes darkness, and before your feet stumble on the dark mountains, and while you are looking for the light, He turns it into the shadow of death and makes it dense darkness.”
Job 21:14 “They say to God, ‘depart from us, for we do not desire the knowledge of Your ways.’”
We have a growing divide right now between the godless liberal left and those that stand for a nation under God. The divide is actually correct, because “two can’t walk together unless they be agreed.”
O f course political parties don’t agree that’s normal, but all should agree on one ultimate authority and provider of truth – God and His word. The basic principles of the virtues of God should be held in esteem above the law of the land or politicians in all nations.
The removal of the word of God from society places it in godless jeopardy with Satan and his word now the authority. Pelosi is a good example of that. So many things get removed from society when the Bible is removed including the all important four swords revealed in the Bible:
●The sword of murder, ●the sword of Capital punishment, ●the sword of war, ●the sword of the Spirit.
If you remove the Bible’s definition of murder (homicide) it sends a message of tolerance with crime and destroys deterrence. If you remove the sword of capital punishment, you meet out injustice to the victim. If you remove the sword of war, you create a nation of push-over pacifists. If you remove the sword of the Spirit, you remove the authority of the believer and make him defenceless.
This is the way to weaken a nation right at its foundation. It is the way of liberals!
You need to be aware of this and the intensifying evil spirits at work otherwise, you are in big danger.
The great reset will produce the great eternal regret at the end of the day.
You can attack the truth, but remember, God owns the truth. You are attacking Him. The Bible may bleed for a few seconds, but it will be you who will eventually and eternally!
God owns the truth, and if the truth is in you are owned by Him and are unshakable, safe and secure. The truth is unbreakable and unchangeable. It will break those who try to break it, it always does.
The political mayhem is one side of the present day troubles. The mutating virus is the other. Both are changing the very face of the world right before us.
On top of the socio-political upheavals on the go, the virus is mutating and spreading faster than before. These things are all causing great stress in the world.
►Will things return to normal? Absolutely not! A vaccine is not a substitute for repentance. You can’t take a pill or get a vaccination to remove the results of the disease of sin! (I am in no way coming against those who take the vaccine. I’m talking generally)
Will God accept a vaccination instead of repentance?
Things can only return to normal if we are far from the whole end-time train rolling in. We are not far, but very close to the whole picture unfolding.
Why is God calling loudly for repentance now through so many of His voices? It is because time is running out fast and He wants people as holy as possible, ready for heaven at the rapture. He is also preparing Israel for a sudden return to holiness, so that they can be effective witnesses and evangelists in the tribulation period.
It’s also because the world’s wickedness has gone into overdrive and is speeding up. It’s because of where we are on the grand prophetic calendar.
(By the way, I have some incredible revelation of some familiar verses on the rapture and Israel, which I will share soon. It will destroy some deeply held, but incorrect views.)
Don’t you think it’s interesting that the church has failed in her commission to the Jew, while the Jew in the tribulation will be very successful in taking the gospel to the Gentile!
The big reason for the rapture is not the great escape, although that is quite true. It is to bring in the last Gentile and then see the veil removed as the gospel goes to the Jew.
Matthew 23:37-38 “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often have I want to gather your children together like a hen gathers her chicks under her wings. But you were not willing! See your house is left to you desolate.”
When Bible prophecy is on the march, what a terrible thing to be left behind and right out of it, with no idea of its existence and relevance!
►1 Thessalonians 5:20 “Do not despise prophesies.”
The word “despise” is Strong’s G1848 ‘Exoutheneo.’ Meanings: Despise, set at nought, make contemptible, not to be esteemed.
This verse above means you had better wake up fast to Bible prophecy, even if your parrot behind the pulpit won’t touch prophecy.
Most importantly, it also means that presumptuous, always-wrong prophecy teachers and watchmen are the very ones causing prophecy to be “set at nought” and “made contemptible, not to be esteemed”
False watchmen are prophecy killers and faith killers!
Proverbs 12:19 “The truthful lip shall be established forever, but a lying tongue is but for a moment.”
For your edification:
You need to be spiritually strong in these days. You must be clearly defined in who you are spiritually and in all areas of your life.
We have as part of the church the happy clappies and hands up church (me included) and the no-happy, no-clappies, hands down, boring, dead, denominational non-spirit filled crowd, with no insight except that of the world.
Even if you are not in a local church you need to be demonstrative in your walk with our Lord. Once you are Spirit filed, even in your home alone, raise your hands in prayer and clap your hands, and if your dog bites you, serves you right for hiding your spirituality.
a† Shalom...Joel.
Edition 539: September 15th 2020.
Goodbye world!
Introduction:
Goodbye and good riddance! Goodbye world, hullo Lord – next year!
The world stage is set for the greatest drama of all time!
For many of the Christian remnant, we said “goodbye cruel world” a long time ago! As part of the ingredients of the salvation of our soul, we have died to the world, the flesh / sin nature and the demonic influences and activities in the world - all through the cross.
Now many are suddenly jumping on the Christian dead-wagon to be carted off to the local dump. Dying to self and the world releases us from its grip and brings peace.
As a Christian we die and are born again (spirit). We die to self as an ongoing experience (soul). We will soon “die” as these mortal bodies are changed into immortal bodies in a flash. (body)
If you thought by “goodbye world” I meant now at the Feast of Trumpets in a week, you are wrong!
I did say weeks ago, that we will see if it is this year’s feast, as the time approaches.
I can safely say now, that it will not be this year but next.
►Don’t miss next week’s edition. I have some remarkable things to share!
Tumultuous times:
These are tempestuous, violent times. As we approach the rapture of the true church the world approaches the tribulation period. As the Lord’s wrath approaches (Revelation 16:1), the wrath of Satan approaches (Revelation 12:12), the wrath of man intensifies and the wrath of nature waits in the wings.
These are crushing times! Did you know that the meaning of the Hebrew letters of their new year 5781, coming next week is: To be “pressed” or “crushed.”
The Feast of Trumpets:
►Firstly, there will be no blowing of the shofar / trumpets at this feast of trumpets next week. This is because shofar / trumpet blowing is forbidden when the feast falls on a Sabbath. (Look it up).
This Friday 18th at sunset, the feast begins and lasts to Sunday 20th. It’s been very encouraged to see so many wake-up to the fact that the Feast of Trumpets will herald the rapture and tribulation start. I have stood almost alone in this view since the 1980’s, except for a few of us die-hards.
The rapture / tribulation will begin on a Feast of Trumpets, but I need to share why I believe it is not this one, but the next one – Monday 6th September to the 8th 2021.
The two main requirements for the tribulation to begin are the revealing of the antichrist by and through the signing of a peace deal, revealed in Daniel 9:27, Daniel 8:25 and others.
The main biblical ingredients of the peace deal will be: ●Signing by the person to be revealed as the antichrist. ●The breaking of God’s eternal covenant with Israel. ●It must be a seven year covenant. ●The handing over of much of Jerusalem to the Palestinians. ●A temple to be built on the Temple Mount. ●A peace treaty with Israel and Arab neighbours. ●It will involve dividing the land of Israel.
Once again let me say that the US Deal of the Century does not fulfil any of these requirements and is in fact no deal at all, because it was not ratified and never came into being.
That Deal of the Century, did not divide Israel. Israel was and is already divided. Israel was divided by the Turks, the Jordanians, and the British. That’s what Gaza and the West Bank is! There is no other peace deal or covenant that fulfils the above requirements.
So if you say, as many do, the antichrist confirms an existing covenant (wrong interpretation), what covenant is that? The correct interpretation of Daniel 9:27 is the Amplified Bible’s position:
Daniel 9:27 (Amp) “He (antichrist) shall enter into a strong and firm covenant with many for one week (of years)...”
At the time, or very shortly after the tribulation begins, the ten-nation revised Roman Empire comes into play.
At the time, or perhaps just before the tribulation begins, the big prophesied end-time wars take place.
As you see, we are close to some of these things, but none are in place and ready to roll and there is one week to go! These things can all happen quickly, but there is too much that needs to be fulfilled.
The current peace initiatives between Israel and various Arab nations are not it either.
The peace deals on the go now with the minor Arab nations of the region are of no prophetic consequence on their own. All together, they point to a shifting tide in the Middle East, which is good. But beware - the heart of Islam has not changed.
These peace initiatives with smaller Arab nations have a sting in the tail!
The sting in the tail is this: It dupes the world into thinking it can create peace. But the world’s peace is always a deception awaiting destruction.
Some are saying that these mini-peace deals are the fulfilment of “When they say peace and security, sudden destruction comes.” (1 Thessalonians 5:3)
Not so! The peace that is being referred to here is the coming Daniel 9:27 peace deal, and that is not here yet. A whole bunch of Arab nations making peace deals with Israel would most certainly be significant and a forerunner of the big one to come, but it is not the big one yet.
The “sudden destruction” is most certainly the as yet unfulfilled prophesied wars in the Middle East.
The Bible speaks of “wars and rumours of wars” as part of the “birth pangs” and “beginning of sorrows,” and “the end is not yet.” (Matthew 24:6)
We are not seeing these wars just yet.
There is little sign of required repentance, especially in the church for the big culprits of the current upheavals, which is the mass murder of the unborn, aggressive, expanding homosexuality and the like. To say ridiculous things like all these troubles in the world are because Trump divided Israel is an outrageous misdirection.
There is danger in jumping the gun. We would all like to go home next week, me included, but beware that you don’t get on the wrong train and lose hope!
If you have none of the revelatory gifts of the Spirit operating in you, especially as a teacher or watchman, you will have no spiritual revelation of your own. You will then constantly have your own self and personal experience (“private interpretation”) to go on, and you will always be borrowing second hand revelation from others. You will be known by that!
Some are calling for the rapture at almost every turn and always fail like ghost riders in the sky!
Israel’s new Promised Land:
The most amazing, and little-known type in the Bible is seen in the journey of the children of Israel from Egyptian captivity, through the Red Sea, into the wilderness and finally into the Promised Land.
The type is this:
Israel was let go from Egypt, a type of the world.
The Red Sea crossing is a type of Israel’s miraculous victory in the War of Independence and subsequent birth as a nation. That occurred in 1948 when Israel became a nation in a day, perfectly fulfilling Isaiah 66:8.
The time in the wilderness is a type of Israel now. She is independent and free, but not in her spiritual Promised Land yet.
Along the way to the Promised Land, Israel had to deal with much opposition like Jericho which obstructed her path and journey. That is a type of all Israel’s opposition today including from the church in the form of replacement theology.
Did Israel finally make it to the Promised Land? You bet she did. Will she make it to her spiritual Promised Land? You bet she will!
I’ve included the following verses without commentary. A simple reading of these verses is very powerful, and paints a most dramatic picture. Read them!
Micah 7:19-20 “God will again have compassion on us, and will subdue our iniquities. You will cast our sins into the depths of the sea. You will give truth to Jacob (Israel)...”
Isaiah 60:21 “Your people (Israel) shall all be righteous; they shall inherit the land forever, the branch of My planting, the work of My hands, that I may be glorified.”
Hosea 14:4-6 “I will heal their backsliding. I will love them freely, for My anger has turned away from him. I will be like the dew to Israel...His beauty shall be like an olive tree.”
Zephaniah 3:13 “The remnant of Israel shall do no unrighteousness and speak no lies, nor shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth...”
Deuteronomy 14:2 “You (Israel) are a holy people to the Lord your God, and the Lord has chosen you to be a people for Himself, a special treasure above all the peoples on the earth.”
Numbers 23:9 “From the hills, I behold him, (Israel) a people dwelling alone, not reckoning itself among the nations.”
Jeremiah 24:7 “Then I will give them a heart to know Me, that I am the Lord; and they shall be My people, and I will be their God, for they shall return to Me with a whole heart.”
Isaiah 45:17, 25 “Israel shall be saved by the Lord with an everlasting salvation and shall not be ashamed or disgraced forever and ever...In the Lord all the descendants of Israel shall be justified and shall glory.”
Jeremiah 50:19-20 “I will bring back Israel to his habitation...In those days and at that time, says the Lord, the iniquity of Israel shall be sought, but there shall be none; and the sins of Judah, but they shall not be found; for I will pardon those whom I preserve.”
The coming US election:
Here is a likely scenario for the US: The Democratic Party has all but shot itself in the foot, handing victory to Trump. This is because the majority of people have a basic Christian worldview in them, even if not practiced actively.
One should never underestimate the importance of having a biblical worldview, which supports a nation under God. That does not mean that everyone who holds to those views is personally saved, but when the pressure is on it reveals what people are made of.
Big pressure is here with more coming, but don’t throw in the towel USA! Turn to those long held biblical principles which the liberals are trying to destroy.
USA, and nations with large Jewish populations, please bear this severe biblical principle in mind:
►There is a repeating principle revealed in the Bible: God punishes Israel for their rebellion by bringing them into captivity by the nations. But then when the job is done, God destroys the very nation that held the Jews captive.
The US and others are not holding the Jews physically captive, but they are in the sense of lifestyle and sinful behaviour, which is keeping them blinded.
The reason is simple. When in captivity, the children of Israel were influenced by the sin, paganism, and evil of the nations holding them captive.
Matthew 18:7 Woe to the world for its stumbling blocks (offences). They must come, but woe to that man through who they come.”
Ezekiel 23:30 “I will do these things to you, because you have gone as a harlot after the Gentiles, because you have become defiled by their idols.”
Deuteronomy 12:30-31 “Take heed to yourself (Israel) that you are not ensnared to follow after them (false gods) ...That you do not inquire after their gods saying we will do likewise. You shall not worship the Lord your God in that way.”
Today we see Israel captive to the western world system and being influenced by the entire world’s ungodliness. Soon the Jews will be released to enter their new spiritual Promised Land. They will be holy and clean. God will then destroy the current world system.
This has major implications for the world today. The ways of the world that have flowed into Israel have prevented them from going, holy and pure, into their new Promised Land of salvation.
Here is another amazing type revealed in the great Exodus:
►Pharaoh finally let God’s people go, but then changed his mind, pursued the children of Israel, and the Egyptian armies were killed in the Red Sea, as the Jews went on their way to the Promised Land. This is a type of the antichrist, making a peace covenant with Israel. He will then pursue them to his own detriment.
The Second Exodus is not complete yet. It will be soon, as Israel comes to salvation. Guess what is about to happen to the captors?
The world’s job in holding Israel back is just about done. Goodbye, cruel world!
This is one of the reasons why the world will not go back to normal, until it has been fully destroyed and then cleansed!
The world is about to get stoned, in a bit more than a puff of smoke. All the world’s empires are going to come crashing down suddenly as the Stone shatters their feet to pieces. (Daniel 2:34, Isaiah 60:12)
Isaiah 8:9-10 “Huddle together, O peoples, and be shattered; pay attention all you distant lands; prepare for battle and be shattered, prepare for battle and be shattered! Devise a plan, but it will be thwarted. State a proposal, but it will not happen, for God is with us.”
Zechariah 2:5 “For I, says the Lord, ‘will be a wall of fire around her (Jerusalem) and I will be the glory in her midst.’”
Tragically much of the western church has been dumbed down to the true things of God and of Bible prophecy, by their own dummies in the pulpit.
The youth of today have been dumbed down by the world and in many cases their own parents. They have been denied discipline and miss-educated, re-educated, with new age and new world thinking, devoid of God, creating a true lost generation, ready for hell.
The good news:
God makes things new! He made us new, He will make us newer. He will make Israel new. He will make the all things new. (Revelation 2:17, 3:12, 21:5)
The good news is God is just, holy and righteous and He is going to create just those characteristics forever in the entire universe, in which we will have full access.
In a constantly changing world you lose your sense of direction and stability. Only by hanging onto, and applying the age-old principles of the scriptures can this be fixed with peace and stability?
Finally
He is coming for a glorious church. Israel too will end up being glorious. He is coming soon! We will continue to watch and pray!
If there are any major, significant developments on the prophetic scene within the next week, I’ll report on them here in the “Prophetic News” section above. So stay tuned.
I will not report on or even mention, things that are of no prophetic consequence and there are many. I will also not report on the many things floating around today that are total error and a big distraction for the truth.
I took the background picture from a chopper in the Drakensbeg Mountains and a martial eagle with my motorised Hasselblad.
Shalom and grow in His Grace!
