POLITICAL INTRIGUE – KING DAVID – JANUARY 6^TH ELECTORAL CERTIFICATION

The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation. Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken. A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked. For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the Lord upholds the righteous. Ps 37.14-17

Today we’ll take a look at political intrigue in the Books of Samuel and how King David overcame it. The Bible is full of political intrigue from cover to cover. Our Elohim works in the affairs of man to bring about His will. King David is a perfect example.

In 1 Samuel we see how King David was persecuted by Saul after Samuel the Prophet/Priest anointed David King over Israel. David fled to the mountains to hide from Saul. Twice David had opportunity to kill King Saul but he refused. He was not going to kill Saul even though he could have justified such an action. After all he was anointed King over Israel.

David decided he would wait for the Lord to establish him as King rather than reaching out and grabbing the opportunity. He would wait on the Lord.

Eventually Saul was killed in battle against the Philistines (1 Samuel 31.) When David heard the news he mourned and wept for Saul and his son Jonathan (2 Samuel 1).

Afterwards David sought the Lord on the direction he should take. He was directed to go to Hebron and there the men of Judah anointed him king over the House of Judah.

Later in 2 Samuel 2 General Abner of Israel and the House of Saul took Ishbosheth, Saul’s son and MADE him king over all Israel. This was a political move to counter David. Ishbosheth was made king, he was not anointed king. David was the rightful anointed king over ALL Israel and General Abner knew it.

David was king over Judah for in Hebron for 7 years and 6 months (2 Samuel 11.). All Israel knew David and his exploits. All Israel knew he was anointed king over all Israel…BUT it took 7 ½ years for it to come to pass. It would take a lot of political maneuvering to get this done.

In fact both Israel and Judah had civil war before the issue would be settled (2 Samuel 2.12-32.) It was a long war with plenty of blood, sacrifice, and political intrigue.

As time passed (2 Samuel 3) David waxed stronger and the house of Saul became weaker. General Abner decided to make a play to take the kingdom from Saul’s son Ishbosheth by taking a concubine whom belonged to Saul. Ishbosheth saw what this could lead to and was angry with Abner for making this move.

Abner than sent messengers to David saying he could politically bring Israel to David and accept him as king. This can be read in 2 Samuel 3 and 4. It was a process that took time to play out. David did not STEAL anything or attempt a coup. He waited on God to work through the political system in order to become King over all Israel.

In 2 Samuel 5 David is anointed king over the entire country and would reign over all Israel for 33 years.

This is a type of what we are in store for in the next few weeks and months. Our President has been under attack by the wicked for the past 5 years.

You can see where I’m going with this. President Trump was re-elected in a landslide but has been cheated out of becoming President due to massive electoral fraud. It is obvious to anyone who seeks truth. Only those who participated in the fraud and are already corrupt would disagree. Anyone else is either extremely ignorant or is on the side of the corrupt players.

President Trump has been waiting for the nation to awaken by releasing information drip by drip. People are awakening to truth. He has allowed the corrupt media, politicians, and foreign governments to reveal their plans. The enemies of our Constitutional Republic are being exposed. The President has waited patiently for the people to see it all.

This is God’s doing. He is giving us an opportunity to reform our corrupt political system, deal with the issue of abortion, and our corrupt monetary system. It is now or never!

On January 6^th the electoral votes are always counted in the Congress. This is when an election is ratified and confirmed. The main stream media does not determine who is President!

The Vice President presides over these proceedings.

This is all in the Constitution. If Senators or Congressmen object to electoral votes due to fraud than both houses must go to their separate chambers and debate. When they reconvene they are required to vote by state legislature. This is one vote per state. There are more Republican Governors than Democrat. President Trump should be elected.

There is another situation where the Vice President could declare President Trump the winner without this part. I don’t think he will do this. He will most likely allow the state legislatures to vote.

Many thousands of American citizens are going to be in Washington, DC to support the legal and lawful election of President Trump on January 6^th. They are going to show the corrupt politicians and deep state players that we the people have had enough.

No matter what happens there is going to be a time of chaos and disruption perpetrated by the leftist socialists imbedded in our cities. They are NOT the majority. They are insurrectionists. They are corrupt, the swamp is deep and wide.

We may go through a period of civil unrest and military action during these days. We will have to wait and see how this all plays out.

Now is the time to pray and prepare. Many Believers have been praying and repenting before Almighty God to save our nation. I believe we are going to be given a period of grace in which God will test our hearts and expect us to bring about lawful reform in the United States.

This too is Biblical. God warns us and hopes we will heed His warnings. Our nation has fallen away from God and He is warning us to return.

The Torah is God’s Royal Eternal Law. All of Elohim’s judgments are righteous. The Constitution is the Law of the United States. Our God is a God of Law. We are going to see the lawless brought to justice and the poor and needy attended to.

Watch God work!

It is a beautiful thing to see Yehovah working by His spirit to give our generation a time of grace and reform. If we fail we will be overcome by our enemies just as ancient Judah and Israel were. Let’s not miss this blessed opportunity.

Stay calm and carry on in God! The best is yet to come!

 

THE PLAN IS MOVING FORWARD – THE KEY DATE IS JANUARY 6^TH – PATRIOTS WANT TO FOLLOW THE CONSTITUTION

We all know the election was a massive fraud and that President Trump won in a landslide. If you are ignoring the Mainstream Fake Media and searching alt sources you know what is going on. The massive fraud is in plain sight and the media is covering it up. They belong to their New World Order masters.

January 6^th is the key date. This is when certified election votes are announced and counted in the House. Many Republicans are going to protest the uncertified fraudulent votes on this day.

This will cause both the Senate and House to go into deliberations for a few hours. Then they will convene and each state legislature will have one vote. Fifty votes. At this time President Trump has at least a 30 – 20 advantage as there are more Republican Governors than Democrats.

This is how the Constitution requires it to be done if fraud is present. The Trump team is doing everything by the book, or better, the Constitution. Many will be upset and angry, but this is all being done according to the Constitution.  

For a thorough understanding check out this article by Ivan E Raiklin a former Green Beret Commander:  Constitutional Lawyer Says The Law Requires V.P. Mike Pence From Accepting Electoral Votes From Fraudulently Certified States (Trump Wins!) (welovetrump.com)

You may also look him up at twitter and read his posts on this matter there.

America is not a pure democracy. According to definition and the Founding Fathers we are a Constitutional Republic: A constitutional republic is a state where the chief executive and representatives are democratically elected by the people, and the rules are set down in a written constitution.

The head of state and other representatives are elected but they do not have uncontrolled power. What they may do is written in the constitution. If there is dispute about what the constitution means, this is decided by a court system that is independent from the representatives.

The constitution describes how the state may be run. The constitution limits the power of each officeholder. Constitutional republics usually have a separation of powers. The separation of powers means that no single officeholder gets unlimited power. John Adams said that a constitutional republic was "a government of laws, and not of men".

In a pure democracy the majority wins the decision. In a Constitutional Republic there are checks and balances that allow for the minority or victim of fraud to be heard. This is our current situation. Massive fraud was committed and our Constitution is about to remedy the situation legally through checks and balances.

As I’ve mentioned in other posts our nation has been operating on lawlessness for quite some time. Without law there is chaos and disorder. Almighty God, our Creator, has given us His Word and Laws. The nations refuse to live by the Creators law. The result is lawlessness.

Our nation is facing a critical moment. In order for the nation to survive it must function lawfully in accordance with the Constitution. There can be no reform until justice is upheld and the insurrection put down lawfully.

Many groups, organizations, and people have been lifting up prayers to the One True God Yehovah on this matter. We believe He is hearing our prayers and is going to uphold the LAW.

There is going to be a rally of the American people in Washington, D.C. on January 6^th, 2021. This gathering is going to be in support of the Constitution and a clean election. This will show the corrupt politicians and deep state players that the people have had enough! We are praying for victory. We are praying for the lawful election of Donald J. Trump.

If this process in not lawfully and legally upheld it will not be the end. Before addressing this we will wait, watch, and pray for righteous Constitutional justice. For daily information look at www.x22report.com there are two videos a. Financial and b. Geopolitical. Listen carefully.

IT’S NOT ABOUT CHRISTMAS OR BIRTHDAYS – IT’S ABOUT YEHOVAH’S ROYAL GOVERNMENT

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace.

 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even forever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this. Isaiah 9.6-7

Many in the assembly of Yeshua, or mainstream Christianity, have no idea what “Christmas” is really about. Yeshua was not born on December 25^th or anywhere near that date. A strong argument for his birth occurring during the Lord’s Feast of Tabernacles can be made through a thorough study of the scriptures.

It begins with 1 Chronicles 24.10 with the priestly course/order of service in the Temple established by King David. In this verse we understand in Luke 1.5 that John the Baptist’s father, Zacharias was serving in the Temple during the 8^th course of service as stated in 1 Chronicles.

With the information contained in Luke chapters 1 and 2 we can determine that Yeshua was most likely born during the Feast of Tabernacles. This Feast celebrates God dwelling with his people—living with them in his tabernacle. For a great video on this go to: https://ascensionministries.biz/products/the-appointed-time-of-messiahs-birth

The birth of Messiah was the re-establishment of Yehovah’s Kingdom on this earth. King Yeshua was born as the Wonderful Counselor, mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. He came to re-establish His government on earth with judgment and justice forever! The Creator was sending a message to haSatan, the adversary, that there was a new sheriff in town—Yeshua HaMashiach—the Messiah.

Yehovah’s Kingdom began with the birth of this infant and will rule the earth forever more. It’s all about the establishment of the Kingdom of God!

Oh, how Christianity has lost the vision of the Kingdom!

A Kingdom has laws, a calendar, and holidays does it not? What holidays is Roman Christianity celebrating? All of Christianity is Roman in nature. The Protestant Reformation did not go all the way. They retained many of Rome’s holidays—the pagan holidays—and “Christianized” them. This is not the Kingdom of God!

The Biblical/Hebrew Calendar is part of God’s Commandments as contained in the Torah—the first five books of the Old Testament. The Feasts or Holidays of God’s Kingdom are found in Leviticus 23 and Numbers 29. These are the Lord’s Feasts, not Jewish Feasts. They are the official and lawful Feasts of God’s Kingdom.

They are Passover, Unleavened Bread, First Fruits, Pentecost (Shavuot), Trumpets, Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement), Tabernacles (Sukkot), and the Last Great Day.

When we read the Gospel accounts of Yeshua’s life and ministry we will note that he observed all of these feasts during his life and ministry. He was moving prophetically in lock step with these feasts.

He was showing us the way. He was faithful to observe them and the one and only lawful Sabbath—Saturday. His life and ministry revolved around the “Feasts of the Lord.” Ref: Leviticus 23.1

This is the Calendar of the Kingdom. These feasts contain prophetic information which allows us to understand the scriptures of past, present, and especially, events to come. The Book of Revelation cannot be understood without an understanding of the Feasts and Calendar of the Kingdom of God. Note: There are many postings on this blog you can search for additional information and understanding of these things.

Mainstream Christians have a woeful lack of knowledge of these truths. Yeshua did not come to establish a new religion. He came to establish his Kingdom according to the writings of Moses and the Prophets contained in the Hebrew Bible.

We, as servants of our King, Yeshua, who were formally Gentiles, with no knowledge of these things have been called out and grafted into the Kingdom! Ref: Ephesians 1, 2, 3.

Many will say these are “Jewish Feasts” and we are not required to observe them. If that is the case why is the Apostle Paul saying we are grafted into Israel? He was teaching these things to the early Gentile believers. Luke 2.32 says Yeshua is a light unto the Gentiles! We become part of Israel. We need to truly understand what grafted in means.

Note that I said we become part of Israel—not Jewish. There is a difference. Israel is the UNITED KINGDOM OF ISRAEL. In 1 Kings 11 and 12 we read the story of civil war in Israel and a division between the North and South—Judah in the south and Israel in the North.

This division of the Kingdom has not been totally healed and re-united. This is an event to come. Our grafting in is part one and the redemption of the Jewish people is part two—yet to be totally fulfilled.

When a Gentile or a Jewish person accepts Yeshua as Master, Savior, and King he or she BECOMES AN ISRAELITE. They are united in Yeshua and become Israel. Think about this. Jew and Israelite Gentile become on new man!

In Genesis 14.13 Abram was called a “Hebrew.” He is never referred to as a Jew in scripture. He is a Hebrew. He was called out of pagan Chaldea and crossed over the river Euphrates. The word Hebrew means = “One who has crossed over.”

Abram crossed over from paganism to the worship of and following the one true God—Yehovah! When we accept Yeshua we crossover into new and abundant life in HIM! In effect, we are now Hebrew Israelites! The one new man!

We become lawful and legal immigrant new citizens of the Kingdom of God. If you are not following King Yeshua you are an illegal immigrant!

Christmas is based on Roman pagan celebrations. When Emperor Constantine, and those emperors which followed him, decided to make Christianity the religion of Rome they turned away from Yehovah’s calendar and feasts. They took their pagan feasts and Christianized them.

It no longer mattered if you were a “legal immigrant.” It didn’t matter if you followed Yeshua in your heart. As long as you accepted the doctrine of Rome and the new holidays you were now considered a “Christian.” You didn’t have to be “born again.”

Anything “Jewish” was banned and if you worshipped God on the Jewish Sabbath you were a heretic and could be executed. Rome was now the leader of the “Christian World” and they decided what days were holy and what days were the holidays. The Hebrew Scriptures were no longer consulted.

An entire hierarchal worldly institution led by a “Pope” which replaced Yehsua—that is what “Vicar of Christ” means—replacing Christ—became the false religion of Christianity.  

So, here we are today…Fake holidays, fake religion, and fake holiness. Sorry, this is not the Kingdom of God. It is difficult to swallow—but true.

We are members of God’s Kingdom as long as we obey Him and his lawful commands. Our Kingdom’s Constitution is contained in the entire Bible—both testaments. We search for truth and strive to allow the scriptures to interpret themselves.

Isn’t it interesting that today in America lawlessness abounds. The Constitution is under attack and many of our elected officials are receiving bribes from foreign countries rather than upholding our Constitution.

Just as reform is taking place in America so it is taking place in the spiritual Kingdom of God. Many are returning to the “ancient and true ways” of our Founding Father Yehovah! The Kingdom is being restored!

As the world and America is experiencing an awakening to the corruption of our governments so the mainstream church will soon re-discover the true Biblical Kingdom. Many will return to the pure word of God and be refreshed. It is coming!

 

IS THE CURRENT DAY “CHURCH” REALLY PREPARED FOR THE THINGS WHICH ARE COMING?

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about if the “Church” is really prepared for what is coming. They hear sermons based on things Yeshua did in the Gospels, but do Mainstream/MS Christians really understand and study the WORD? Many Bible studies in MS Church discuss the Bible based on what they “think” it means to them, never questioning what God is really saying TO them.

The Hebrew Scriptures are usually not studied in depth, when in reality much of what is happening in the United States and world, have many types/examples in the Tanakh or Old Testament which includes the first 5 Books of Moses or Torah.

The entire Hebrew Scriptures and New Testament Scriptures are quite relevant to our current political events. It has all been prophesied in the Scriptures, but many “Christians” don’t understand what is happening.

Incredibly much of what is taught in MS Church is Fake News!

The Easter narrative is total fake news beginning with the crucifixion of Yeshua on Good Friday. Those who understand know that Yeshua was crucified on Wednesday evening and was in the grave for 72 full and complete hours prior to His resurrection.

The fact that Yeshua said he would be in the grave for 72 hours (Matt 12.40) has no impact on most believers I speak to. This true news can be proved just by understanding how the Bible keeps time on the calendar and by having a solid understanding of the Feasts of the Lord in Leviticus 23. https://burningbush647.blogspot.com/2019/12/brief-insightsinto-sabbath-and-calendar.html

Why do Pastors who have been shown this continue to teach fake news to their congregations? Afraid to lose members? Isn’t truth worth teaching? Is it more important to cling to false traditions then truth?

How many other things have we been taught that are false?

Then we have the current holiday of Christmas…another fake news story. Yeshua was not born in December. He was born during the Feast of Tabernacles. It also can be proved by searching the scriptures and having an understanding of the Hebrew/Biblical Calendar. https://burningbush647.blogspot.com/2019/12/when-was-jesus-really-born-bible-has.html

The Roman Church embraced pagan festivals and Christianized them beginning in the 4^th century. They wanted to get away from anything “Jewish.” They discarded the Biblical feasts and calendar for the Roman feasts and calendars. You cannot Christianize pagan holidays.

We are grafted into Israel. What does this mean?

The Biblical calendar and true feasts of the Lord have been pushed aside in favor of fake traditions. Yeshua railed against the Pharisees and Sadducees of his day on similar issues. They had made up added rules, regulations, and traditions which were not in the Torah. They added to it. In Deuteronomy 4.2 and 12.31-32 we are told not to add to or take away from the WRITTEN WORD.

MS Christianity has done just that. They have forgotten what it means to be “grafted into Israel.” We are not grafted into Judaism—we are grafted into Israel—big difference. We are not called to be Jewish, but we are called to be Yeshua-ish! Big Difference. https://burningbush647.blogspot.com/2020/10/prophetically-understanding-israel-in.html

Sadly many things in the Jewish religion are also fake news—Rabbis’ have added to the written word (see above). There is no major religion on the planet that has not been compromised in some way. That is not the focus in this post.

We see lawlessness abounds in America. The Constitution, the law of the land, is disrespected and marginalized for person gain and power. The church likes to say, “We are not under the law” when in fact we are under the law—the Biblical law.

We are saved by grace and the blood of the Lamb, but the Law of God is our code of conduct. It points out our sinful nature. The Law is good and spiritual (Romans 7) and it brings us into repentance. It instructs us in how to walk in the Spirit—the “spirit” of the Law.

The fruits of the spirit are the result of knowing what the law says and living righteously. We are not justified by this but we are also not sinning. We have God’s Code of Conduct to guide us.

America is going through a serious period of lawlessness and spiritual rebellion. The entire is system is corrupt beyond our imagination. It is difficult for many to accept this truth. Justice is coming.

We are going to go through a most difficult time in the coming weeks, months, and years. We may see military tribunals and arrests. The wicked are making their power play to lock us (the nations) down and dictate how we must live. Freedoms will be lost. Many coming events will shock the nation.

Understanding the written word, the Feasts of the Lord, the Biblical Calendar, and the Book of Revelation are required to persevere in these times. When the Father reveals the truth and you turn from the fake traditions the Word of God becomes clear. Our faith is increased as we begin to see and understand many things in scripture that had not made sense to us in the past. It strengthens our faith mightily. It helps us understand the depth of our allegiance to Yeshua our Messiah and Lord.

We see how from Genesis to Revelation it is all prophetically laid out. It reveals the mystery of the Gospel, the mystery of iniquity, and the Kingdom of God in a much deeper way. It has all been hidden in plain sight in the scripture and we’ve been missing it. Are you seeing it?

Don’t be destroyed by lack of knowledge. Now is the time to seek the true news hidden in the Scriptures. Search this blog. Many things are posted here.

God bless, be safe, and seek his word!

 

Why Donald Trump Will Remain America’s President

The media and virtually the entire world rushed to crown Joe Biden president. But Bible prophecy shows that God still has plans for Mr. Trump.

I’m taking the easy route in this post. It is easier for me to post an article by another writer than to write in my own words. This article is by Gerald Flurry of the Philadelphia Church of God. His organization has a strong prophetic ministry on the geopolitical events using the Bible as their guide. From my experience they have been quite accurate in their interpretations. I’ve edited the post for it is much longer. A link to their website is at the end of this post.

On Saturday, Nov. 7, 2020, just four days after the presidential election, the American news media decided to declare Joe Biden the winner and the president-elect of the United States.

The radical left in America have done everything in their power for the last four years to discredit and destroy President Donald Trump. They have spied. They have lied. They have cheated. They have broken laws too numerous to count. They have committed treason, trying to depose the duly elected government! And somehow, President Trump has weathered all those storms.

What the left is doing now—all this theater aimed at bullying people into accepting Joe Biden as president—is more of the same. It should come as no surprise.

By most appearances, Joe Biden will be America’s next president. But I absolutely do not believe that at all. Mr. Trump will weather this storm too. Regardless of what the media says or how things look right now, I am confident Donald Trump will remain president.

I am also certain that we are about to see some of the biggest frauds exposed perhaps ever! Why? Because a Biden presidency is contrary to Bible prophecy.

Unfulfilled Prophecies

For more than 30 years now, I have explained many biblical prophecies that describe the events that will precede the return of Jesus Christ. Most of these revolve directly around the United States and the British Commonwealth, the modern descendants of biblical Israel, and the Jewish state. (Knowing the identity of origins of America and Britain is fundamental to understanding Bible prophecy; you can learn about this truth in The United States and Britain in Prophecy.)

The Bible has a lot to say about Donald Trump and his presidency. The main prophecies are in the book of Kings and in Amos 7, and several other passages speak more generally about America under his leadership. God cannot lie! These end-time prophecies must be and will be fulfilled!

The prophecy in Amos 7 is crucial to understanding the 2020 election. It is about Mr. Trump, and much of it is yet unfulfilled!

Amos 7:7 reads, “Thus he shewed me: and, behold, the Lord stood upon a wall made by a plumbline, with a plumbline in his hand.” A plumbline is usually used in measuring a building or in construction. But God uses it differently here: to measure the destruction that is to come upon the nations of Israel, especially America. This destruction is not random. God is measuring it carefully and precisely, and in the end, it will bring about the most wonderful results imaginable.

“And the Lord said unto me, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, a plumbline. Then said the Lord, Behold, I will set a plumbline in the midst of my people Israel: I will not again pass by them any more” (verse 8). This is God talking! He has warned these nations several times to try to wake them up, but they have ignored those warnings. So, He says, I’ll warn one last time! We are living through this final warning right now!

And notice: This final warning occurs during the time of an end-time Jeroboam. “And the high places of Isaac shall be desolate, and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste; and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword” (verse 9). When God says, “I will not again pass by them anymore,” He is talking about the time of Jeroboam.

To understand events in America right now, we must understand the identity of this Jeroboam. This end-time figure is all the way through this prophecy, from verse 9 to verse 17. As I have explained for more than four years now, this end-time Jeroboam is Donald Trump, America’s president. And these prophecies about Jeroboam have not yet been completely fulfilled, which is why Mr. Trump must remain president!

Jeroboam I

More is revealed about this end-time Jeroboam in the book of Kings, which records the history of Jeroboam i and Jeroboam ii, two kings in ancient Israel. Remember, the book of Kings is part of the former prophets; it contains prophecy for right now. And Amos 7 reveals that Mr. Trump leads America in the same spirit as these ancient kings!

When King Solomon died, the nation of Israel split in two. Jeroboam i ruled the kingdom of Israel, which was comprised of the 10 northern tribes. King Jeroboam was a bold and talented leader, but he had terrible flaws that upset God deeply.

Jeroboam’s essential sin is recorded in 1 Kings 12: “And Jeroboam said in his heart, Now shall the kingdom return to the house of David” (verse 26). He feared that the people would return to the house of David in Jerusalem. The 10 tribes had just broken away, and Jeroboam i wanted to keep them separated from King David’s throne. God had even explained the importance of the house of David to Jeroboam (read 1 Kings 11:29-39), but he rejected God’s instruction.

Jeroboam worked hard to prevent his people from looking to King David’s legacy of faith and obedience. He went so far as to establish an entirely new religious system in Israel—a religious system that oriented around himself. “Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold, and said unto them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem: behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt” (1 Kings 12:28). Jeroboam took them right back to the false gods they had before they knew the true God!

Jeroboam then polluted the priesthood by ordaining priests from “the lowest of the people, which were not of the sons of Levi” (verse 31). He changed the dates of God’s sacred holy days so they would differ from those kept in Jerusalem (verses 32-33). He rigged the system so he could lead the people and keep them away from the house of David. That was his great sin!

Jeroboam i created a false religious system built on contempt for King David’s throne and legacy. This religion was perpetuated by all of Israel’s kings after him. Not one of Israel’s kings was righteous!

This same sin is being committed today! There is a powerful religious dimension to Donald Trump’s presidency. In many respects, his presidency is underpinned by support from religious leaders and people—but the religion of Jeroboam is false religion!

Jeroboam II

In 2 Kings 14 we learn about King Jeroboam ii, who reigned during the first half of the eighth century b.c. During the rule of this Jeroboam, Israel experienced a sensational national resurgence; it was a time of prosperity and growth. However, toward the end of his reign, the kingdom began to suffer. Within a few years of his death, Israel was brutally conquered by the mighty Assyrian Empire.

Jeroboam ii ruled in the same spirit as Jeroboam i: “And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord: he departed not from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin” (verse 24). King Jeroboam ii was not a righteous man. He did evil and committed the same sins against God and the throne of David that the first Jeroboam had.

Nevertheless, the Bible records something remarkable: God actually used this unrighteous king to help the nation!

Notice carefully: “He [Jeroboam ii] restored the coast of Israel from the entering of Hamath unto the sea of the plain, according to the word of the Lord God of Israel, which he spake by the hand of his servant Jonah …” (verse 25). Israel was still in a sinful state. So it wasn’t because of the repentance or righteousness of the Israelites and their king that it experienced this resurgence.

Why then did God bless the nation in ways not seen since Solomon? “For the Lord saw the affliction of Israel, that it was very bitter: for there was not any shut up, nor any left, nor any helper for Israel. And the Lord said not that he would blot out the name of Israel from under heaven: but he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of Joash” (verses 26-27).

Israel was in bitter affliction—on the verge of collapse! You could say the same about America (and the rest of the nations of Israel) today: It is in bitter affliction!

Anciently, had God not intervened, the devil’s plan to blot out the name of Israel would have prevailed! But God granted mercy when Israel really didn’t deserve it. Rather than sending Israel into captivity at that time, God used this king to save Israel and give it one last age of prosperity before Assyrian conquest. God saved Israel—“by the hand of” King Jeroboam ii.

Despite the curses, and despite Jeroboam’s personal wickedness and the nation’s sins, Jeroboam ended up reigning 41 years! He was the longest-reigning king in the northern kingdom’s history. While most other kings died by intrigue or betrayal, Jeroboam did not suffer from such violence and curses. The nation experienced relative strength and stability, even prosperity. This resurgence was not because of any personal greatness or leadership skill by Jeroboam. It was because God took pity on Israel in its affliction. It was because God did not want the name of Israel blotted out. It was because God saved Israel!

2 Kings 14:26-27 show that God used Jeroboam ii as “a savior.” This is also true of the modern-day Jeroboam. It is a temporary salvation, just as it was under Jeroboam ii before Assyria finally conquered the nation. Still, God uses this man to ensure Satan and the men he uses do not blot out the name of Israel! And this job is not yet finished!

The modern Jeroboam doesn’t know any of this, but the prophecy in Amos 7 shows that God will explain it to him before it’s over. We have to get this message to him, and we haven’t done so yet. This is another reason I am confident Jeroboam is not going to disappear from the scene!

Israel’s Affliction

2 Kings 14:26 speaks of “the affliction of Israel, that it was very bitter.” As there was anciently, there are forces “afflicting” Israel, seeking to bring it down. These forces attacking America today are terribly destructive—and the worst of them are within the nation. They want to destroy traditional America, especially its Judeo-Christian heritage and its history with God.

Looking at this modern-day Jeroboam, you have to say God gave Israel a “savior”—at least to the extent that He wouldn’t let these enemies bring down the nation. Donald Trump has been blocking this movement to “blot out the name of Israel [which includes America] from under heaven.”

Is his job finished? No, it isn’t. So I don’t believe at all that he will depart from the scene! I still believe these prophecies are 100 percent accurate.

This means this nation is about to be shocked. I believe you are going to see frauds exposed like you’ve never even imagined! In a sense, you could say the left is fighting against God and God’s prophecy! Who do you suppose will win that battle?

In fact, prophecy shows that many earthshaking events are certain to happen in the next few years. We are going to see things unfold that will astound us perhaps every week!

I don’t know exactly how this will play out, but I believe God is allowing it to happen this way to ensure that the evil and corruption in America are exposed!

Election Fraud

The mainstream media insist there is “no evidence” the Democrats tried to steal this election. This is patently false: There is plenty of evidence. But it is also absurd when you think about what the left has been doing for the past several years! You would have to be naive not to think they are committing great frauds with this election.

Just look at the way it all happened: Several of the States President Trump was winning on election night simply stopped counting for four or five hours. They were all synchronized. I believe Democrats were beginning to see that they didn’t have enough votes—so they had to find a way to get them.

Then, as mail-in ballots were counted, everything changed. Those states all ended up switching over to former Vice President Biden. Isn’t that amazing?

Mail-in ballots open the door for terrible fraud. Did you know that among the 27 countries in the European Union, 17 ban mail-in voting except in very rare cases? They know how susceptible such ballots are to fraud. Yet Democrats have used the coronavirus pandemic as a pretext to encourage as much mail-in voting as possible—and even to extend deadlines past Election Day. I truly believe they did that to enable themselves to steal this election—and I say that without apology! They have a long history of using voter fraud to sway elections.

A great deal of disturbing evidence has been emerging of voting irregularities and fraud—and it always favors Joe Biden! Yet many Republicans and supposedly impartial journalists speak as though there is nothing to be concerned about. They say everything was above board and that Donald Trump should concede. This shows shocking naivety and delusion!

Just remember what the Democrats and leftists have done in the past! The Steele dossier was nothing but lies created by the radical left. For three years they used it as “proof” that Donald Trump was a Russian agent—and they knew from beginning to end that it was nothing but lies! So do you think they wouldn’t steal some votes? I would be shocked if they didn’t! That report proved to be treasonous. Now they have moved on to something perhaps even more treasonous! These are crimes that must be brought to justice!

The Left’s Goal

Many on the left want a civil war. Some have already declared war! They certainly want to bring the nation to the point where they can pounce on their opponents and destroy them. And they are going all out!

We don’t have to speculate on the goals of the left. They are pretty outspoken if you pay attention! For example, Mark Zaid was the attorney for the cia employee who “blew the whistle” on President Trump for his phone call to Ukraine. On Jan. 30, 2017—just 11 days into President Trump’s term—Zaid tweeted this: “#coup has started. First of many steps. #rebellion. #impeachment will follow ultimately. #lawyers.” Later that day he tweeted, “#coup has started. As one falls, two more will take their place. #rebellion #impeachment.” This was one of the left’s highly placed lawyers speaking openly of a coup—trying to overthrow the government!

America has changed like you have never seen it change—in just months or even weeks—into a different country! It is not the country it was a couple years ago—or even at the start of 2020! And if you were to get the wrong leader in charge, things would quickly grow far worse because there are powers behind him that want to rule this nation—and rule it their way! They don’t want freedom. They tell you what to do, and you have to do it, or else!

The left doesn’t want opposition. They want tyranny! That is because they are following Satan the devil, who has a stranglehold on them!

Powerful tech companies and corporations are willing to spend billions of dollars to get what they want. They’re not concerned about the will of the people. One billionaire spent $100 million in Florida to beat Donald Trump. $100 million! They spent a total of $7 billion in this campaign—compared to the Republicans’ $4 billion, which itself is a lot of money! The media, the high-tech industry, the educators, Hollywood—all these people have tremendous wealth—and they’re all together! And if they can win it with money and cheating or any other way, they will do it!

Following the election, the tech companies censored and even deleted posts and messages that questioned the results. This is now common! What an affliction on our nation!

They get away with it so easily too. After all, none of them ever seem to get punished for their transgressions. After the horrible Mueller ordeal, was anybody sent to jail? I haven’t seen it—yet they committed treason! There may be investigations, but these drag on, and after a while people forget about it. So the crimes go unpunished. If you repeatedly let criminals go, they come to think they can do anything and get away with it! And they are just about right!

But maybe God has something in store for them that they don’t know about!

It is stunning to me how few Republicans are backing President Trump. Those who don’t are truly ignorant of what is happening in this nation.

Donald Trump certainly has his problems, and God sees those—but He chose him as a savior, temporarily, for America! People don’t understand that and fail to recognize what is really happening!

I also marvel that so many people voted for the radical platform the Democratic Party has embraced. They want to encourage illegal immigrants, even giving free health care, welfare and education. They want to ravage the economy to combat “climate change.” They accept radical racist ideals and far-out sexual practices. They applaud lawlessness and a spirit of insurrection. It doesn’t take much to understand that in a democracy, when that many people are so ignorant, it is over. This nation is lost, virtually.

The question is: Will we let it shed light on our flaws and sins and stir us to repentance?

We all must realize that no politician can save America. The Republicans cannot save this nation. President Trump cannot. Only God can! We must see Him at work in what is happening here. He is going to use these events to expose the evil and corruption in America. And He will ensure that every one of His prophecies is fulfilled. Just watch!

Something has to happen, and for God to fulfill this prophecy, it will have to be a miracle. But He is a God of miracles! And He is the one who ultimately places leaders in power (Daniel 4:17, 25; Psalm 75:6-7; Romans 13:1).

These events are going to shock a nation that has already turned the page on our current president. But they should not shock you. Watch what happens, and when this comes to pass you will be able to recognize God’s guiding hand!

COMMON SENSE, CRITICAL THINKING, WATCHING, INVESTIGATING, AND PRAYER, WILL REVEAL TRUTH

Our freedoms are under attack by the Deep State or New World Order. They are using the Plan-demic to push their narrative. Everything is an illusion—it is a mirage. We will not be deceived!

Today I will post various links which will provide you with the truth. The MSM, Main Stream Media, is lying to us and publishing lies to push their NWO agenda on the world. They must bring the sovereign nation that stands in their way—the USA.

The election votes in the USA have been compromised. President Trump won by a landslide but it is being hidden by deep computer programs. Dominion is the name of the computer system. Dominion means to dominate. It will shock the nation when it is revealed what has been done—and the many politicians who have ownership of these fixed computer programs.

The best way for me to share with you is to connect you to some of the links which I use to find out what is really happening. We cannot trust the MSM to report truth. Your common sense should tell you this—they are all saying the same thing.

They said there were no violent riots and burning didn’t they? They say the people on Trump’s side are racist and violent. Are they?

They said they had evidence that would impeach Donald Trump. Did they? They had no evidence. Their narrative is an illusion.

Here are links to the digital soldiers and other news sources who are seeking the truth and exposing the liars:

Dear readers, we are in a spiritual war for our nation and world. Forces of evil and wickedness are truly beyond our imagination. I say that calmly. We have no idea how bad it really is.

THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY AND THE RETURN OF THE MESSIAH YESHUA

I’m going to post some of my notes from Michael Rood’s book “The Mystery of Iniquity-The Legal Prerequisites to the Return of Messiah.

This may be the clearest and exact account of the coming return of Yeshua I have read in my times of studying the return of Yeshua and when we meet Him in the air. I will post a link to the book at the bottom of the post. These are notes on only the first two chapters, there is much more.

First a few definitions of important words:

Iniquity – The deviation from that which is just or upright. A deed of injustice, or maleficent act. The Greek word for iniquity is anomia which is translated as “lawlessness” in the KJV.

Lawlessness – is the state of being without or in opposition to the law. An open act of rebellion against the originator or author of the law.

Rebelliousness – An open, organized and armed resistance to authority; an organized uprising of subjects to overthrow their lawful order.

Sedition – Conduct or speech which is in opposition to lawful authority, BUT lacks an overt act that would constitute treason or rebellion

Satan acted in open rebellion against Yehovah, the one to whom he owed his allegiance. He led an organized uprising of angels who sought to overthrow their lawful ruler, Yehovah.

As I was reading and thinking about these things I couldn’t help not comparing them to the things which are happening in the United States with the current President and his re-election process. We are seeing a type of the mystery of iniquity in the lawless events now taking place in the USA. Let’s now look at portions of 2 Thessalonians epistle.

Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;  And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,  In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:

Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;  When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day. 2 Thessalonians 1.6-10

In chapter one we see Paul telling those who are being persecuted, like he is, to rest, as when Yeshua returns from heaven with His mighty angels they will be saved and glorified with Him. This would be the time of the resurrection from the dead. Then Paul says...

That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.  Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?  And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.

And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:  Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders….2 Thessalonians 2.2-9

Paul is telling them not to be shaken or troubled in their mind by anything. The day of the Lord/Christ is not yet. A few things must take place before Yeshua comes…there must be a falling away. Falling away in the Greek is apostasia. This world can be translated as: to stand in seditious opposition, or open rebellion. The KJV translation is poor here.

So, there must be an open rebellion against Yehovah prior to Messiah’s return. Paul says that day will be when the “man of sin” or Antichrist will appear on the scene. He will seat himself in the temple of God.

Paul reminds them that he told them this when he was with them. The imminent return of Yeshua is not at hand. These things must take place first. He tells them that which is holding this back must be removed before it can happen.

In Job we see Satan is in heaven accusing the saints day and night. He is there now in the throne room. Michael the Arch Angel is going to throw Satan down to earth. He will not be able to accuse anymore. This is when the man of sin will be revealed on the earth as Satan enters into him and possesses that man.

It is all there in the epistle. Satan is being restrained in heaven but when he is thrown out of heaven and down to earth:  Revelation 12:7-9 “And there was war in Heaven; Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels and did not prevail; neither was their place found anymore in heaven. The great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil and Satan which deceives the whole world; he was cast out into the Earth, and his angels were cast out with him.”

Satan has been restrained in heaven but now cast down and the final 3.5 years of tribulation begins. It will be hell on earth.

Paul is telling them Yeshua is not appearing until after this happens. In verse 8 he says “and then…the Lord shall consume him at the brightness of His coming.”

We are not raptured out. Paul is telling us this in 2 Thessalonians. Read and pray that you will see it.

The book is very detailed. Perhaps you should read it:  https://roodstore.com/collections/books/products/the-mystery-of-iniquity

ESTABLISHING THE SABBATH DAY REST

Once we understand God’s calendar, establishing the Sabbath day rest is easy. Genesis 2.1-3 give a simple explanation for the Sabbath rest:

Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.

Later when giving the Ten Commandments in Exodus 20.9-11 God again established the seventh day as the Sabbath:

Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it.

In Exodus 31.13-17 we see that it is for all generations:

Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the Lord that doth sanctify you. Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people. Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the Lord: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death. Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant. It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.

Many will say this is only for the Jews, we are in the new covenant. When I saw that the Sabbath is a sign between us and our Creator it hit me like a bolt of lightning! It is a special identifying sign between us and Yehovah!

The Apostle Paul always taught on the 7^th day Shabbat and he said that we are grafted into Israel in Romans 11.16-18:

…if the root is holy, the branches are too. But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them and became partaker with them of the rich root of the olive tree, do not be arrogant toward the branches; but if you are arrogant, remember that it is not you who supports the root, but the root supports you.…

The whole chapter of Romans 11 explains our grafting into Israel—in other words the Sabbath is still the 7^th day. This is why we believe that Saturday is the true day of worship.

There are many other verses that testify to this in the New Testament: Acts 13.14, 27, 42, 44; 15.21, 16.13, 17.2, 18.4. We also know that Jesus Himself observed the 7^th day Sabbath. So what happened? How did it become changed to Sunday? Once again we must understand history to find our answer.

After Jesus’ death all the early believers worshipped according to the Biblical Sabbath. The first believers were Jewish and were coming to faith in their Messiah. In Acts chapter 10 Peter is sent to Cornelius’ house and they became the first Gentile believers. Now the Gentiles were accepting the Jewish Messiah as their own.

In Acts 15.3 we see the Jewish believers rejoicing that the Gentiles were converting to the faith: And being brought on their way by the church, they passed through Phenice and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles: and they caused great joy unto all the brethren.

That’s right, that’s what the Bible says! Conversion of the Gentiles! Then later in Acts 15.20-21 we see: But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood. For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every Sabbath day.

The new converts were told to abstain from idols, fornication, meat that was not killed properly, and blood (all Torah commands) and then to go to the synagogue on Saturday to hear the Torah (Moses) and the rest of the scripture readings which are read. They were worshipping on the 7^th day Sabbath. They were learning about Yehovah’s Torah. What happened?

At that time in the Roman Empire the Jewish faith was legito or legitimate which meant that the Jews had an exception from the Romans to freely worship their one God without fear of reprisal.

As the gospel spread the unbelieving Jews did not want to be associated with this “sect of Judaism” and began to persecute any Jews who believed in Messiah. They also told the Roman government not to associate Judaism with this new faith. Why?

The Christian believers refused to recognize the Roman Emperor as a god. This began to make trouble for the Jews who had not accepted Jesus as Messiah. Then Jews began to persecute both Jewish and Gentile believers.

As scripture says, the Jews then entered into the time prophecy that said they would be blinded and not see. This opened the way for the Gentiles to be grafted into the prior covenants. Remember that Abraham was told he would be the father of multitudes and a blessing to all nations (Gen 12.1-3; Gen 17.1-8).

Today we are living in the “times of the Gentiles” until the Jewish people return to Jesus and accept Him just prior to Armageddon. Until then we are living in the time which the Gentiles are being grafted in. Yeshua/Jesus did not come to start a new religion! He came to renew the covenant(s).

This does not mean we are to become “Jewish” as Judaism, just as Christianity, has detoured into areas which are not scriptural or in the Torah. The rabbi’s have created “takanot” which are laws they have made and which they say, supersede the written Torah. This is what Yeshua was constantly pointing out in His debates with the rabbi’s of His day.

We all know that in 70 AD the temple in Jerusalem was destroyed as Jesus said it would be. Even though it is not politically correct to say this, I believe it was because the Jewish people had rejected their Messiah as the scriptures prophesied. After this event they were scattered throughout the world until they became a nation in May 1948.

After 70 AD both Christians and Jews were persecuted by the Roman Empire. As time went on into the second century the Christian faith began to become more accepted. The Jews were then the target of persecution by the Christian community who looked upon them as “Christ killers” and unworthy of any respect.

An interesting scripture that seems to indicate this reversal is found in the third Epistle of John. He is having trouble with a Greek by the name of Diotrephes. It seems that John is not welcome in this fellowship anymore: I wrote to the church, but Diotrephes, who loves to have the preeminence among them, does not receive us.  Therefore, if I come, I will call to mind his deeds which he does, prating against us with malicious words. And not content with that, he himself does not receive the brethren, and forbids those who wish to, putting them out of the church. Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. He who does good is of God, but he who does evil has not seen God.

This very interesting scripture shows the Gentile leaders in John’s time were beginning to come against the Jewish believers. This persecution is written throughout church history. The Spanish Inquisition, blood libel, and ghettos were just a few of the terrible things down to Jews by those who called themselves “Christian.”

We then come to the time of Constantine. By this time many, but not all who called themselves “Christian” had been separating themselves from anything considered “Jewish”. Sunday had replaced Saturday because the Christians did not want to worship on the same day as Jews. Since Jesus rose on Sunday they used that as the reason for change. Note: Yeshua most likely was risen from the dead just prior to sundown on Saturday. As the sun set it became Sunday. Biblical days begin and end at sunset. What we would call Saturday night on our Roman calendar is actually the beginning of Sunday on the Biblical calendar. This would have allowed Yeshua to be in the grave for three complete nights and days—rising on the third day just as the sun went down Saturday night.

The Feast of Passover was replaced by Easter. The name "Easter" originated with the names of an ancient Goddess and gods. The Venerable Bede, (672-735 CE), a Christian scholar, first asserted in his book De Ratione Temporum that Easter was named after Eostre (a.k.a. Eastre).

She was the Great Mother Goddess of the Saxon people in Northern Europe. Similarly, the "Teutonic dawn goddess of fertility [was] known variously as Ostare, Ostara, Ostern, Eostra, Eostre, Eostur, Eastra, Eastur, Austron and Ausos." ₁ Her name was derived from the ancient word for spring: "eastre." Similar goddesses were known by other names in ancient cultures around the Mediterranean, and were celebrated in the springtime.

The Emperor Constantine was a worshipper of the sun god Mithras. Prior to a battle in 312 AD he thought he saw a “sign of cross” in the sky. He vowed if he won the battle he would honor the Christian faith. He kept his promises and in 325 AD held the First Council of Nicaea, a council of Christian bishops convened in Nicaea in Bithynia.

Interesting how in Roman Catholicism one uses the “sign of the cross.”

This resulted in the first uniform Christian doctrine, called the Nicene Creed. With the creation of the creed, a precedent was established for subsequent local and regional councils of Bishops (Synods) to create statements of belief and canons of doctrinal orthodoxy—the intent being to define unity of beliefs for the whole of Christendom. Ref: Wikipedia.

Even by the fourth century there were still many believers that still celebrated the resurrection during Passover/Unleavened Bread like the early church before them. The Roman Emperor Constantine said at the council of Nicea in 325A.D.,

“It appears that the churches of Syria and Mesopotamia continues to follow the custom of the Jews, and celebrated Easter on the fourteenth day of the moon whether falling on Sunday or not. All the other churches observed the solemnity on Sunday only.” (The “fourteenth day of the moon” was how the Bible told the early believers to calculate Passover.) It was also at the Council of Nicea that Constantine made it law that the celebration of the resurrection of Christ was to be done on Easter Sunday: “…This subject having been discussed, it was decreed to celebrate Easter on the same day…(Sunday) …which was the practice of Rome.”

 

Constantine was a huge sun worshipper before he supposedly converted to Christianity along with the rest of the citizens of Rome. And celebrating Easter on the first Sunday after the spring equinox was already “the practice of Rome”. Constantine went on to finally declare for all time, “…We should perpetuate to all future ages the celebration of this rite.” It was the practice of Sun worship.

And so it became on that day, in the beginnings of the Roman Catholic Church, that anyone that celebrated the resurrection on any other day would be excommunicated, severely punished or even killed. Not much has changed since that proclamation by Constantine almost seventeen hundred years ago.

There was a Protestant Reformation. But for the most part, most Christian churches operate in some way shape or form EXACTLY how their Catholic predecessors taught them without virtually any examination of doctrine and traditions to verify their biblical accuracy.

There are many writings from these councils which eliminated anything “Jewish” from the new Roman Christian Church. Ref: attached sheets: Replacement Theology in the church and Mithraism Worship of the sun god.

As you can see we who practice a more Hebraic roots faith believe we are allowing the Bible to interpret itself and wish to return to Hebraic Biblical worship then is now practiced by most denominational churches. We do not feel we have been deceived but rather have returned to the truth as it was originally written in both the O.T and the N.T.

A the very least we hope you will find it in your heart to understand and respect the reasons for the way we are moving in our faith in Jesus Christ our redeemer, Savior, and Messiah.

A Simple Explanation of Death

We have been taught many “traditions” in the Christian religion which are not true. Things have been simplified and twisted throughout history. A careful and prayerful study of the Bible will reveal this if a disciple is truly seeking truth.

When we die we go to sleep (1 Thess 4.14) in the grave, our bodies see corruption and decay (1 Corinthians 15.52-53) and our spirit returns to God who gave it (Eccl 12.7) to us.

We await to hear the voice of Jesus (John 5.21-31) on the last day (John 6.39-54) at which time we are raised from the dead (1 Corinthians 15) and enter into the Millennial Kingdom (Rev 20.1-6) to rule and reign with Him (Rev 20.6).

We must have a basic understanding of the Feasts of the Lord and the Creator’s Calendar before we can understand the above items. Here is a link: https://www.unsealed.org/2020/04/the-feasts-of-lord-gods-appointed-times.html

After Satan is loosed from the pit and devoured with fire (Rev 20.7-10) those who were not saved are resurrected (Rev 20.11-15) and judged. If found guilty they die in the second death.

All those resurrected in Rev 20.1-6 do not face the second death (Rev 20.7). They rule and reign with Messiah in the MK.

After this judgment called the second death guilty people are condemned to hell or the Lake of Fire. Rev 20.11-15 God does not sentence people to hell prior to the Great White Throne judgment.

Up until then they have been asleep in the grave awaiting their resurrection which occurs after the 1000 year Millennial kingdom=MK. Ref scriptures above.

God is love and sends nobody to hell until they have been officially judged. That is what Revelation 20 describes.

Here is a link from an earlier post: https://burningbush647.blogspot.com/2020/08/our-resurrection-from-dead-new-bodies.html

These people who have after death experience most likely are have a dream of vision which is describing the 1000 year MK, not heaven. They have been taught they go to heaven when they die. They are really having a dream or vision of the MK.

I’ve gone to the book stores and looked at books about dying and going to heaven. It is an industry in itself. I noticed that whomever wrote the book, Jewish, Christian, or Human Secularist all the books virtually described the same thing. In the religious books the great majority of “confirming” scriptures were taken out of context.

John 3.13 and Acts 2.34 both confirm or witness to this truth. Also read Acts 2.24-36. No man has ascended into heaven except for the Son of Man.

We are not taught properly in church. Study the Bible and allow it to interpret itself and you will soon have the "truth set you free" from the traditions and fables we have always been taught! Research for yourself. You will find heaven is God’s seat of government and Jesus always taught about dying and resurrection from the dead. Our traditions have mislead us.

John 5, 6, and 11 highlight Jesus’ teachings on resurrection. The soul that sins dies (Ezekiel 18.20). We are resurrected into new life.
