Ez.6:8-14 "A Remnant" (2 of 2)

4So will I stretch out my hand upon them, and make the land desolate, yea, more desolate than the wilderness toward Diblath, in all their habitations: and they shall know that I am theLord.

God cannot deny himself. His Holiness is set in the Power and glory of His word. When the Lord God said,'Let there be light' it was so. God fashioned heart of man alike. So truth written in his inner man shall reveal the truth of God to whosoever shall seek him. So 'remnant' as a theological idea is to make the connection between God and Man understood well by man. When the Pharisees asked Jesus to restrain his disciples from shouting "And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out (Lk.19:39-40)"For this reason man is a spectacle unto angels as well."for we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men (1 Co.4:9)".In this connection we shall consider the saying of Jesus to his disciples on sending them to preach the gospel,"And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet./Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city(Matt.10:14-15). A remnant is how God's sovereignty established so He shall always be justified as St Paul uses the case of Esau and Jacob.

(Ro:9:21-23)",

"I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion." It is thus a remnant of Israel shall be added to the redeemed from the earth. And these shall be found in the New Jerusalem. While discussing Ezekiel we see the rebellious house of Israel was rejected. St Paul states why,"But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness. Their works only made their case worse. But grace of God is greater.

Ez.6:8-14 "A Remnant" (1 of 2)

8Yet will I leave a remnant, that ye may have some that shall escape the sword among the nations, when ye shall be scattered through the countries.

At many places we come across a remnant. First we shall consider this verse taken from Isaiah. "Except theLordof hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah(Is.1:9)." Curiously enough the prophet is addressing the leaders of Israel thus:Hear the word of theLord, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah. Disobedience is not about place names that shall be destroyed by fire and brimstone or by great flood. Now we shall consider this verse which is from the Book of Zechariah." And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith theLord, 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, TheLordis my God (Ze.13:8-9)".

The preceding verse is obviously about the Son of man: 'What are these wounds in thine hands? Then he shall answer, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends'(v.6) should leave in our mind no doubt that the prophet is referring to the suffering and death of Jesus in the 'house of Israel'.

9And they that escape of you shall remember me among the nations whither they shall be carried captives, because I am broken with their whorish heart, which hath departed from me, and with their eyes, which go a whoring after their idols: and they shall lothe themselves for the evils which they have committed in all their abominations.

10And they shall know that I am theLord, and that I have not said in vain that I would do this evil unto them.

Ez.7:1-9 "An End"

Ezekiel as a watchman predicts an end to the abominations committed by the rebellious house of Israel. 'The end is come upon the four corners of the land' however is a signal that it is not the end of God's Mercy. However the remnant of them shall indeed is ahead, 'So the words 'and ye shall know that I am theLord' leave a door open for hope.

In the light of the above let us consider what Jerusalem would mean to the remnant,"...Of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified(Re.11:8)". We considered in a previous post on Sodom from the Book of Isaiah (1:9). Sodom as a place is finished. Yet Isaiah addresses the shakers and movers of Jerusalem with these words, "Hear the word of theLord, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah(v.10)". Sodom refers not to the place but unrighteous Israel and they shall not escape judgment. But God reserves a remnant so his Salvation Plan connects to the Lion of Judah and the branch, from the root of Jesse. The Son is the Rock of offense. No more Zion of old shall come to mind. Instead a spiritual Zion shall be rebuilt on the foundation of Jesus Christ." Afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city./Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness(Is.1:26-27)".

While we consider Judgment of God it is not the full end. He judged Egypt but did not the Children of Israel carry Egypt in their hearts when they murmured over manna day in and day out in the wilderness? "We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlick:/6But now our soul is dried away: there is nothing at all, beside this manna, before our eyes(Nu.11:5-6)".

Egypt as a place was finished as was Sodom. Jerusalem shall similarly follow their fate. But all these are in relation to the crucified Christ.

Ez.9: 1-6 " Mark Up" (2 of 2)

"Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood other two, the one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the river.

6And one said to the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, How long shall it be to the end of these wonders?

7And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.

8And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things?(Dan.12:5-8)

Linen in the lexicon of the Spirit indicates the Son of man and here it refers to the church that had no righteousness of its own to speak of but it was allowed on account of the work of faith. 'for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. The angel who marks those who were to be preserved is similar to those on whose foreheads the name of the Father shall be written."Then I looked, and there before me was the Lamb,standing on Mount Zion,and with him 144,000who had his name and his Father's namewritten on their foreheads(Re.14:1)".

He cried also in mine ears with a loud voice, saying, Cause them that have charge over the city to draw near, even every man with his destroying weapon in his hand.

2And, behold, six men came from the way of the higher gate, which lieth toward the north, and every man a slaughter weapon in his hand; and one man among them was clothed with linen, with a writer's inkhorn by his side: and they went in, and stood beside the brasen altar.

"The higher gate on the north side"(v.2) refers to judgment and north here is not to be confused with cardinal direction as we use in normal sense.

Ez.9. "Mark up" (1 of 2)

Holiness of God is unchangeable. So we speak the word as eternal of which no iota or tittle shall be removed. The Word or the Law if cannot be enforced is deemed useless. When John saw the risen Christ he writes 'and out of his mouth went a sharp two-edged sword:(v.16)'The word of God must be so sharp so it can upturn the soil of the heart so make the seed of gospel has the wherewithal to bear fruit.

When one is convicted of his sins it is not merely seeing his own state in a clear glass as it were, but also realizing his need for release from bondage. So the word of God is like a scalpel in cutting away the wounds in order to work healing. The writer to the Hebrews says, "For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart(He.4:12)."

Seven Spirits of God ever burning before the throne are angels made spirits as emblem before the throne of God '4Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:(Ps.104:4). So seven lamps of fire burning before the throne signify Holiness of God shall be maintained forever. Power and glory of the Word ensure it from all injury. When we are shown various abominations being practiced behind a cloak of piety we may well appreciate what Ezekiel would have thought: it was in the justness of God to depart from there. "And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God(Re.4:5)".

The Spirit of Christ that worked with holy men of old (1 Pe.1:10-11) as well as the seven beings mentioned in this chapter are angelic beings. Among them the man in linen with the inkhorn is seen in the Book of Daniel

Ez.10:14-15 "Ox-face" (2 of 2)

The above passage refers to an earlier incident,"And when they came to Nachon's threshingfloor, Uzzah put forth his hand to the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the oxen shook it./And the anger of theLordwas kindled against Uzzah; and God smote him there for his error; and there he died by the ark of God(2 Sa.6:6-7)" The oxen did not make mistake. The Spirit through Isaiah tells that animals had a better understanding on the holiness of God. Balaam's ass showed better understanding when he saw the angel with a drawn sword barring passage.

The living creature assumed the appropriate aspect as the avenging angel.

Ez.10:14-15 "Ox-face" (1 of 2)

And every one had four faces: the first face was the face of a cherub, and the second face was the face of a man, and the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle./And the cherubims were lifted up. This is the living creature that I saw by the river of Chebar.

In the opening chapter the living creature is shown having an ox-face,"As for the likeness of their faces, they four had the face of a man, and the face of a lion, on the right side: and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four also had the face of an eagle(1:10)". The Spirit in replacing the ox-face with cherub expressly tells two points.

Firstly the mission: Cherubim is part of the angelic host that jealously guard the Holiness of God, as two winged cherubs set up on either side of the mercy seat tell us. Emphasis is laid on the judgment of Israel about to begin with the temple.

Secondly this change from ox to cherub is accusatory and we shall consider this well known verse from the Book of Isaiah."3The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider(Is.1:3)". We have an instance when the Ark was being brought King David ill-advisedly put it in a cart against the command of God, specified in 1 Chr.15:12-14

"And David called for Zadok and Abiathar the priests, and for the Levites, for Uriel, Asaiah, and Joel, Shemaiah, and Eliel, and Amminadab,/And said unto them, Ye are the chief of the fathers of the Levites: sanctify yourselves, both ye and your brethren, that ye may bring up the ark of theLordGod of Israel unto the place that I have prepared for it./For because ye did it not at the first, theLordour God made a breach upon us, for that we sought him not after the due order./So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves to bring up the ark of theLordGod of Israel".

Thanks for posting this information. We do need to know the truth concerning the land God promised to Israel, the Israelites, and also understand the history of the Arabs and people in Palestine in order to understand their hatred for the Jews, and their desire to re-write the history of the descendants of Abrahan with Ishmael as the chosen heir of the covenant. Ishmael resented being replaced by Isaac as the heir of promise and his descendants have always wished to have that status. Also, Ishmael's descendants are a mixture of the people of Esau, Canaanites, and non-semitic peoples of the Arabian peninsula. Also, Most Arabs are not descended from Abraham, but some are descended from Abraham's sons from Keturah which settled the Arabian peninsula. They have created an untrue and misleading history for themselves in order to justify their overtaking of the lands of the Levant for Islam. They came in in the 7th century to take control of the Levant from the countries that controlled it then, which were not Arabs, but the Byzantine empire.

It is sad that so many Muslims believe all of this. In this time of history one can find out the correct information online now. So I do hope and pray that many Muslims and sympathizers will go online and discover the truth for themselves. I pray more-so that in doing so will realize that they have believed lies concerning the Levant, Islamic history, and especially the deception of the Islamic faith as put forth in the Quaran and the leaders of this false, evil religion.

AS believer, I think we should stand with Israel and not Islamic people. This is more spiritual in nature than many realize. It is more about hatred for the true God of Scriptures and the people that follow Him through knowing Scriptures and believing what it says. They want what Jews and Christians have from the God but do not want to serve Him. They instead choose to serve the idol that Muhammed promoted in his disjointed books. Sad it is.

Be prepared for another terrible flood, as follow: Revelation 12:14-17:

15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a FLOOD after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.

16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the FLOOD which the dragon cast out of his mouth.( See Revelation 13:11 combined with Revelation 16:13-15. And Get ready)

17 And the Dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of GOD, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.(that is the Spirit of prophecy- Revelation 19:10)

14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle (by allegory, the OLD and New Testaments- Revelation 11:3), that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent(the red Dragon). ---> (By the way, JESUS said for the Devil: "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word that proceedeth out of the mouth of GOD". The Word is GOD- John 1:1. The Words that came from the MOUTH of GOD are written in the Bible, you know?)

Was Satan, the MAN of sin, son of perdition, born?(2Thes.2:3-4) Yes, he was, of course, decades ago.

Here's what was edited from the text from part 3.

There are no such people as Palestinians.

Its early inhabitants is shown here in Genesis 15:18-21.

For some reason, the site won't let me post the names.

Part 7

"Palestine" ?

Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and their families lived for more than 300 years in the land of Canaan, which God had promised to them and to their descendants. (Arabs never lived there in any numbers until after the seventh-century A.D. Muslim invasion of Israel.) Jacob and his family temporarily moved to Egypt because of a famine in Canaan, but remained there 400 years and became the slaves of the Egyptians, then were brought back to conquer Canaan as God had foretold, establishing them as the heirs of God's promises to Abraham ( Gen 15:13-14).

Thereafter Canaan was known as the land of Israel, which it is called 31 times in Scripture. Its kings ruled from Jerusalem over a vast empire stretching from the Sinai to the Euphrates, until they were conquered by the Babylonians around 600 B.C. and scattered to many nations, as God had warned. Thus, for 300 years before Egypt and about 1,000 years thereafter--a total of 1,300 years--the Jews dwelled in their own land, the land of Israel. It is an insult to the God of Israel and to His chosen people to call Israel "Palestine"! Please don't encourage this lie!

Ishmael's descendants never lived in Canaan. Most of them settled in the Arabian Peninsula. It would not be until the seventh century, through the Islamic invasions, that Arabs would come in any significant numbers into the land of Israel, which in A.D. 135 the Roman conquerors (after rebuilding Jerusalem as a pagan city dedicated to Jupiter) had angrily renamed Provincia Syria-Palestina after Israel's ancient enemies, the Philistines.

Good night and God bless.

Part 6.

"Palestine"?

Ishmael was born after Abraham had lived in Hebron for ten years. Fourteen years later, Isaac was born in Hebron to Abraham and his wife, Sarah. Ishmael mocked Isaac, and Sarah banished him and his mother, Hagar ( Gen 21:10-20). From that time onward, Ishmael was no longer part of Abraham's household but lived far away "in the wilderness of Paran" (21:21). Indeed, God did not consider him to be Abraham's son! God told Abraham: "Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest and offer him [as] a burnt-offering" ( Gen 22:1-2).

Thirty-seven years after giving birth to Isaac, at the age of 127, Sarah died (23:1). Abraham was still in Hebron of Canaan, where he had lived more than 70 years. He purchased the cave of Macpelah from Ephron the Hittite (23:1-20) and there he buried Sarah. Thirty-eight years later, at the age of 175, Abraham died and was buried in Macpelah next to Sarah. After Abraham's death, Isaac continued to live in Hebron in the land of Canaan another 110 years. One by one, Isaac, Rebekah, Jacob, and Leah all died and were buried in the family tomb, the cave of Macpelah--but not Ishmael. No Arab or Muslim was ever buried there.

David was first crowned king in Hebron and ruled there over Judah 712 years before moving his throne to Jerusalem. Hebron is of great significance to the Jews. Yet Muslims built a mosque at Macpelah, claim the burial place of Jewish patriarchs as their own, forbid access to Jews, have periodically slaughtered and expelled Jews from Hebron, and desire to make it Jew-free today. They also claim that Jerusalem and the entire land of Israel have always belonged to them, that no Jews ever lived there, and that the Israelis are occupying Arab land! Incredibly, the world accepts this lie as the basis for forcing upon Israel a fraudulent "peace" in the Middle East.

See Part 7

Ronald,

Nicely put!

Part 5

"Palestine"?

Even had there been a land of Palestine and "Palestinians," the Arabs could not possibly be descended from them. They claim descent from Ishmael, who was certainly not a "Palestinian." His father, Abraham, was from Ur of the Chaldees, and his mother, Hagar, was an Egyptian. Neither of them was one of the "original inhabitants of Canaan," nor even remotely related to such a people. The land was already settled when Abraham with his wife, Sarah, and her maid, Hagar, arrived there.

Furthermore, as late as the 1950s Arabs refused to be called Palestinians. To the British Peel Commission in 1937, a local Arab leader testified, "There is no such country as Palestine. 'Palestine' is a term the Zionists invented." Professor Philip Hitti, Arab historian, testified to an Anglo-American Committee of inquiry in 1946, "There is no such thing as Palestine in history--absolutely not!" To the UN Security Council in 1956, Ahmed Shukairy declared, "It is common knowledge that Palestine is nothing but southern Syria." Eight years later, in 1964, Shukairy became the founding chairman of the Palestine Liberation Organization. No "Palestinian," like Arafat, he was born in Cairo.

Abraham settled in Hebron in the land of Canaan ( Gen 13:18; 23:2, 19; 35:27; 37:14, etc.). Everyone knows where Hebron and Canaan were located then and now--nowhere near Mecca in Saudi Arabia. Yet the Qur'an and Islam claim that Abraham and Ishmael together built the Ka'aba. This is pure fabrication-as is the claim in the Qur'an that a Samaritan built the golden calf in the wilderness, 700 years before Samaritans even existed.

See Part 6.

Jordyn,

I'm sorry, but I have to disagree with you on this one.

May God bless you also brother!

Part 4.

The land to which God brought Abraham (at this time called Abram), and which He gave to him and to his heirs, was called "Canaan" ( Gen 12:5, 6-8; 13:7-17, etc.). There was no such land as Palestine and no such people as Palestinians. ( Gen 15:19-21). God never promised anything called "Palestine" to Abraham and to his heirs. The only land He promised was Canaan: "And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God ( Gen 17:8); Be ye mindful always the covenant which he made with Abraham, and of his oath unto Isaac; And hath confirmed the same to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant, Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance" ( 1 Chr 16:15-19).

See Part 5

Part 3.

"Palestine"?

In spite of such Qur'anic passages, Islam claims that "Palestine" belongs to the Arab descendants of Ishmael. This is the basis of the hatred Muslims have toward Israel and of their determination to exterminate its people and to possess all of Israel for themselves. In fact, "Palestine" is not mentioned once in the Qur'an--very strange, considering the importance Muslims attach to it today.

That spurious claim is further "legitimized" through a people who today call themselves "Palestinians." They claim descent from the "original Palestinians" and that, therefore, the entire land of "Palestine" is theirs, but is being unlawfully occupied by Jews. They demand all of this land as their possession. Such a claim is fraudulent for many well-established reasons.

"I will have to portion this out so I can find out what is not allowed in the text. Sorry".

See Part 4

Bare with me, Apparently I have to do some editing on part 3.

Hi Astrawind,

If I may, you said you are focusing more on your faith which is great, praise God. Your question are angel numbers real? I will add are witches real, are demons real are mediums, horoscopes, etc. The answer is yes, but we are not supposed to deal with them. Angel numbers are a part of numerology, they may appear in the most ordinary places, these digits usually grab our attention, and even if for only a moment they evoke a sense of wonder, like sugar to an ant.

The danger is they can open doors to things that at first seem good and harmless but are like drugs, harmless at first but when the fangs sink in, it's over.

Leviticus 19:31 Leviticus 20:27 1 Chronicles 10:13 Micah 5:12 Acts 19:18-19 Galatians 5:20 Revelation 21:8.

These are just a few verses you can find many more. If we put our faith outside of God, we are on dangerous ground. Numerology goes way back. The Babylonian Cube, it was a system of worship using numbers adding 1+2+3+ up to 36 = 666. they had it on an amulet they wore to protect them. It would be hard to explain it in this short reply.

There are things in this world that look as pretty and sweet as cotton candy but are more ravenous than you can imagine, Believe me.

I hope this helps and that you don't take it as coming from a fruitcake, but it is out of love, dark things are out there that you do not want to come across.

God bless you.

Part 2b

The Islamic Threat To Israel (Part 1)

By Dave Hunt.

This never happened to the Arabs, but only to the Jews, who, during this isolation, did not intermarry with non-Jews but became an identifiable ethnic group, were led en masse into the Promised Land, and we know who their descendants are today. In contrast, Ishmael's descendants intermarried at least with Midianites (Jdg 8:1, 12, 22, 24) and with those of Esau ( Gn 28:9) who, in turn, intermarried with Hittites (26:34).

In the beginning, the Qur'an called Jews and Christians the "people of the book" and honored much of the Bible as inspired of the true God. When Muhammad turned against these people, however, the tone of the Qur'an changed. The claim is made today that the Bible was perverted in order to make it seem that the Jews were the heirs. Of course, we have Bible manuscripts both before and after Muhammad, and they are identical. In fact, the Qur'an itself repeatedly declares that the Jews are Allah's chosen people to whom he gave the Promised Land:

"We made a covenant of old with the Children of Israel" (Surah 5:70); "We brought the Children of Israel across the [Red] sea, and Pharaoh with his hosts pursued them and we verily did allot unto the Children of Israel a fixed abode" (10:91, 94); "[Pharaoh] wished to scare them from the land, but we drowned him and those with him [in the Red Sea] all together. And we said unto the Children of Israel dwell in the land" (17:103-104); "we delivered the Children of Israel from Pharaoh. We chose them, purposely, above all creatures (44:30-32); we favored them above all peoples" (45:16); "Remember Allah's favor to you. He gave you what he gave no other of his creatures. O my people, go into the Holy Land which Allah hath ordained for you" (95:20-21), etc.

See Part 3.

Part 2a

The Islamic Threat To Israel (Part 1)

By Dave Hunt.

The God of Ishmael?

The God of the Bible is called "the God of Israel" 203 times. Never is He called the God of any other people--and certainly never is He called the God of Ishmael or of the Arabs. He further declares, "I AM the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations" ( Ex 3:13-16). Twelve times this name is given to God. Christ argued the resurrection of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (and thus of all believers) from this title, declaring that "God is not the God of the dead but of the living" ( Mt 22:31-32).

The entire land of Canaan (which became Israel) was promised to Abraham and to his seed for ever ( Gen 12:7; 13:15, 17:19; Ex 6:8; Lev 25:23). Who can claim to be this "seed"? Islam teaches that it was Ishmael, not Isaac, who was the "son of promise" and was offered by Abraham upon the altar. Ishmael was the firstborn, and thus the Arabs, who claim descent from him, are adamant that they--not the Jews--are the rightful heirs to God's promise of the land of Canaan. Of course, Ishmael was not the son God promised, but the product of Abraham's and Sarah's unbelief. Instead of being born to Sarah, Abraham's wife, his mother was Hagar, Sarah's maid.

The Bible makes it very clear in many ways that the promised son was Isaac and that he and his descendants were the rightful heirs to God's promises to Abraham. Apparently content with Ishmael whom he loved, Abraham desired no other son ( Gen 17:15-18). But God insisted that He would give Abraham a son through his wife, Sarah, that his name would be Isaac, and that he would be the heir to the promises and to the land (17:19-21). Furthermore, the true heirs to the promises would be slaves in a foreign land for 400 years ( Gen 15:13).

See Part 2b

Part 1.

The Islamic Threat To Israel (Part 1)

By Dave Hunt

That vicious anti-Semitism would pursue the Jews worldwide throughout history is one of many prophecies about Israel ( Dt 28:37; Neh 1:8; 2 Ch 7:20; Jer 24:9; 25:11; 29:18-19; 44:8; Amos 9:9, etc.) that God points to as proof that He is the one true God, that the Bible is His Word, and that the Jews are His chosen people (Is 42:8-9; 43:10; 46:9-10; 48:5, etc.). From a human point of view, there is no rational ground for such persistent, widespread anti-Semitism; yet this prophecy has come true with a vengeance. The only explanation is found in the Bible: the Jews are God's chosen people and under His judgment for their rebellion against Him ( Dt 28:15-68; 29:24-28; 30:17-20, etc.).

There is a further obvious reason for this universal anti-Semitism: hatred of Jews and Israel is inspired of Satan because his only hope to escape eternal doom is to destroy them. This he must do to save himself from God's wrath. Had Satan been able to destroy the Jews before Christ came, he would have prevented the birth of the Messiah, the salvation of mankind, and his own defeat through the sacrifice of the Son of God for mankind's sins. Moreover, for promising a Messiah and a salvation that never came, God would have been proved a liar and thus could not righteously have punished Satan.

Of course, the Messiah came and defeated Satan, "tasting death for every man" ( Heb 2:9) and bearing "our sins in his own body on the tree" (1 Pt 2:24). Countless multitudes have been redeemed and will spend eternity in the Father's house of "many mansions" because of having received the Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior. But Christ's defeat of Satan through His death and resurrection did not end the battle between God and Satan for the hearts, minds, and eternal destiny of mankind. That battle continues to rage--and Israel is at its center.

See Part 2.

Part One: The love of God. Creation and salvation

Psalm 51:10 states "Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me." Christ states that man must be born of water and the Spirit ( John 3:5) which refers either to physical birth first then spiritual; or the baptism associated with God granting repentance and someone being "born again."

The Lord created man in the image of God; both male and female according to Genesis 1:27. Man was given all he needed to live a blissful existence as long as he remained in communion with God; he was given authority over all creation and asked to tend the garden. God's love; however already looked to the needed redemption of man foreseeing his fall; and thus Christ's sacrifice was planned before time began to bring this plan to effect and destroy Satan's temporary usurping of rulership on earth ( Gen. 3:15).

Therefore; Jesus became as the second Adam. (see 1 Cor. 15:47-49 for further details). To put to death the old man expresses the ultimate love; for it is the natural state of the unredeemed soul that can never escape itself in eternal hell. The world and its lusts are temporary; but He has put eternity in the hearts of man. ( Ecclesiastes 3:11). He has promised that He will never leave nor forsake us ( Deut. 31:6; Heb. 13:5). He acts as high priest ever interceding for us ( Rom. 8:34; Heb. 14:15-16; etal).

Along with eternal salvation; God accomplishes His will in our lives; and shows His love by chastising all those He loves. ( Heb. 12:6-7 and other verses). The Lord will lose none of His sheep or His elect as they will hear His voice ( John 10:1-4). Thus the work has been done on our behalf; we can do nothing to add to it or merit any favor. Thus our response should be to love Him accordingly and not to focus on what He can do for us in this life; but to seek that His will is done on earth as in heaven.

The process of sanctification and glorification will be reviewed in future posts.

JESUS warned: When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth,let him understand), the time of the LITERAL fulfillment of this prophetic message of the Word of GOD arrived, the Word is GOD, self-executing. What really matters and import is the Word of GOD. He said : Daniel 12:

1 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.

2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.

3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.

10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.

11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.

12 Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days. - day 1335, i.e. 45 days after the end of 1290 days. Get ready

1 Tessalonians 4:16-17:

15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

16 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:

Revelation 16:13-5

13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.

14 For they are th
