Earthquakes and Revolutions

12 03 2011

Japan Earthquake Disaster - click to enlarge

And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring; Luke 21:25

Killer earthquakes in Japan (over 1,000 dead at this early point) and a month ago in New Zealand (over 200 dead) . The earth is reeling, geologically and politically. Everything is shaking. The confidence of the world is teetering near collapse. Some governments are scrambling to save their economies while others are in full revolution mode. At least ten Muslim nations are in or near complete overthrow.

Libya is facing genocide or civil war or both. The nations are perplexed to know what to do next. Free nations are running out of options as they run out of money. The world’s longest serving dictator has sworn he will go down fighting. Two per cent of the world’s oil is the prize for the winners.

Egypt’s “democratic” protests have now opened the way for much more sinister machinations. The Muslim brotherhood is poised to achieve their 90 year goal of a theocratic state with the help of internal mutiny in the ranks of the army. Christians are being martyred in Egypt in unprecedented numbers. It is as if hell has opened up in a spiritual earthquake. The only Christian in Pakistan’s cabinet was assassinated a couple weeks ago.

No union workers lost their jobs in Wisconsin this week, just the ability to demand and enforce higher pensions and perks. Oh, and did I mention Charlie Sheen, the profane sitcom actor, is suing his employers for $100 Million.

Has the world gone mad? They say there are no atheists in foxholes. The planet is one giant foxhole, there can’t possibly be any atheists left.

Darkness seems to be spreading over the earth like a poisonous cloud. Are you depressed yet? How do people cope who have not read the Book? The only true hope is found in the ageless words of comfort and answers one finds in the Bible.

Here are just a few pertinent and very timely observations from God’s love letter.

His heart about the earthquake deaths: “For I have no pleasure in the death of one who dies,” says the Lord GOD. “Therefore turn and live!” Ezekiel 18:32 NKJV

Can satan defeat God? Declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times things not yet done, saying, ‘My counsel shall stand, and I will accomplish all my purpose,’ Isaiah 46:10 ESV

Is there any hope? Since we are receiving a Kingdom that cannot be destroyed, let us be thankful and please God by worshiping him with holy fear and awe. Hebrews 12:28

How much longer? “Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.” Luke 21:28

How will God solve the earth’s problems? Just so, when you see the events I’ve described taking place, you can be sure that the Kingdom of God is near. Luke 21:31

Radicalizing or Radicals Rising?

7 03 2011

Radicals Rising Leads to Sunset Over Cairo

A serious media mistake is routinely using the term “radicalizing” to explain jihad. “Radicals rising” is a more accurate term. DEBKAfile’s sources report that large sums of Iranian petrodollars have reached the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood and radicalized its message to the Egyptian people. It is true that Iran’s propaganda is a radicalized message, but it finds ready acceptance in young Muslim minds because of generations of indoctrination.
It is beyond the Western mind’s frame of reference to accept that Islamists hold their position logically from the beginning. Since we are the product of a Judeo/Christian heritage, Islamic jihad doesn’t make sense. We are taught to love our enemies, they are taught to kill their enemies (which by the way is defined as all non-Muslims and apostate Muslims). Psalm 83 (below) clearly declares their opposition to the God of Israel.

Entire generations of young Muslims have been taught from pre-school to hate and kill Jews and Christians. That is when they were radicalized, not between weeks four and five of the Egyptian revolution (or fill in any other Muslim revolt). Koranic basic doctrine teaches that chaos and destruction are the means of overthrowing the infidels or as in Egypt’s case, the apostate Westernized Muslim states. The fundamental Islamic prophecy of the last days requires chaos and destruction to usher in the final Caliph and conquest of the whole world.

Therefore, what we have is radicals rising up to fulfill the apocalyptic vision. It is logically within the literal reading of their holy texts. Yet, the media persists in feigning shock when what they insisted was a democracy movement suddenly “became radicalized”. It is the only conclusion that makes sense to the naive Western humanist. Everything the media believes rejects the idea of anyone actually choosing to die for their god. It does not compute, therefore they were “radicalized” somehow. Even the Ft. Hood shooter must have been “radicalized” because he could not possibly believe in such radical jihad all by himself.

The 9-11 suicide jihadists were not mysteriously radicalized while standing in line at the airport. They worked hard and prepared for a long time on an unthinkable plot to hijack airplanes and fly them into skyscrapers. To us it was unthinkable; to them it was brilliant and perfectly logical.

The truth is this. It is not the “bad” Muslims rising up, but faithful literalist Muslims doing what their imams are preaching every Friday at the mosques. Good Muslims are faithful, bad Muslims (from their viewpoint) are Westernized or modernized and are therefore unfaithful and even apostate.

Pray for the Muslim hordes to turn from the god of Islam to find Yehovah, God of Israel and Yeshua haMeshiach (Jesus the Messiah), the Son of God.

Consider the contrast between the nature of Islam and the nature of our Judeo/Christian heritage.

Nature of Islamic Heritage:

Do not keep silent, O God! Do not hold Your peace, And do not be still, O God! For behold, Your enemies make a tumult; And those who hate You have lifted up their head. They have taken crafty counsel against Your people, And consulted together against Your sheltered ones. They have said, “Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, That the name of Israel may be remembered no more.” For they have consulted together with one consent; They form a confederacy against You (Psalm 83:1-5 NKJV).

Nature of Judeo/Christian Heritage:

If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it; but if I didn’t love others, I would be of no value whatsoever. Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. Love does not demand its own way. Love is not irritable, and it keeps no record of when it has been wronged. It is never glad about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. Love will last forever (1 Corinthians 13:3-8 NLT).

Pope Bans Yahweh

1 03 2011

YHVH

Topic #1 Are You Kidding Me?

The pagan god of Islam is splashing his name everywhere and the Pope bans the real God’s name? That is sooo Third Century. The Roman church continued the tradition of the Pharisees to ban the vocalization of the personal name of God: Yehovah. In August of 2008, the Vatican officially banned the name again: As an expression of the infinite greatness and majesty of God, it was held to be unpronounceable and hence was replaced during the reading of sacred Scripture by means of the use of an alternate name: “Adonai,” which means “Lord,” the Vatican letter said. Similarly, Greek translations of the Bible used the word “Kyrios” and Latin scholars translated it to “Dominus”; both also mean Lord. (recent Vatican position against Israel here).

I am on a mission to restore usage of the name Yehovah (or Jehovah or Yahweh, I’m not picky). Every suicide bomber shouts the same thing before exploding. The gullible and naïve media mistranslate it as “god is great” when he (or she) actually says the personal name of Islam’s god is “the greatest”. Isn’t it about time we wake up and exalt the Name of our God Yehovah and His only begotten Son’s name Yeshua?

Topic #2 Egypt Explodes—Israel Receives Rain

As the Middle East dominoes fall, rain is falling in Israel in spite of dire predictions. One fresh report says: Israel has “been blessed by the plentiful rains that continue to fall, even as the first wildflowers are appearing and birds are singing again.”

Surprisingly, at least for now, Israel seems like a little island of tranquility in the midst of the Middle Eastern storm of Islamic violence, hatred and death, as Muslim brothers slaughter each other. I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms…every one by the sword of his brother (Haggai 2:21).

As dictators fall, the God of Israel is in control. Blessed be the name of God forever and ever, for wisdom and might are His. And He changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and raises up kings; He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding (Daniel 2:20-21).

Les Lawrence, Voice of Christian Zionists (READ MORE)

And Jehovah descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of Jehovah. And Jehovah passed by before him, and proclaimed, Jehovah, Jehovah, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness and truth (Exodus 34:5-6).

Who has ascended into heaven, or descended? Who has gathered the wind in His fists? Who has bound the waters in a garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His name, and what is His Son’s name, If you know? (Proverbs 30:4).

Florida Ministry Update

28 02 2011

Just a few lines to report on our progress…we had three good meetings this weekend at Dover, Haines City and Tampa. We now plan to spend some time writing at Christian Retreat in Bradenton. I am nearly finished with my next book, Generation Light-Jesus Light of the World. My goal is to publish it in April. Doreen only has about 20 copies left of her newest book about Passover, A Lamb For Rachel. We are ordering more this week. She is working on her next one as well, continuing the adventures of Matt and Rachel learning about Shavuot/Pentecost . I expect to send our March 1 Israel E-Card tomorrow, so stay tuned! Your prayers and support are coveted and sincerely appreciated. Thank you. Les & Doreen

PS Yes, that picture is of Doreen and me in 1967. Her first fish!

Radical Islam, Psalm 83 & the Palestinian Flag

26 02 2011

Nations are falling like dominoes to radical Islam. Is the Palestinian flag destined to fly over the heartland of Israel? Will Biblical Judea and Samaria become the 22nd Arab state? The irresistible force of radical Islam is about to collide with the immovable ROCK of Israel, not the nation of Israel, but the God of Israel.

What could possibly reverse the revolutionary momentum that is building in the Middle East? God has already revealed His plan. It is not secret. Israel’s enemies indeed scheme and plot in secret, but God Who knows the end from the beginning has recorded exactly what will transpire in Psalm 83. It has been sitting there in the Bible for over 3,000 years. It is only now in the 21rst Century that everything is in place for its prophetic fulfillment.

Psalm 83 lists each country by name. It includes every country that directly borders Israel. The resulting war will be impossible for Israel to win without supernatural intervention from God. Yet win they will and confound the earth.

Les Lawrence, Voice of Christian Zionists (READ MORE)

That is the meaning of the rock cut from the mountain by supernatural means, crushing to dust the statue of iron, bronze, clay, silver, and gold. The great God has shown Your Majesty what will happen in the future. The dream is true, and its meaning is certain. Daniel 2:45

Israel’s Army Needs God More Than Tanks

24 02 2011

This amazing story is all over Israeli news services. For a high official in the Israel Defense Forces to declare the need for God is nothing short of a Divine move on his heart. May it spread to the entire army. My thanks to Barry Segal for bringing it to my attention. His news site is linked at the end of the story.

IDF DEPUTY CHIEF: ISRAEL’S ARMY NEEDS FAITH IN GOD MORE THAN TANKS: The events currently shaking the Arab world “were ordained from above” by a guiding hand, Israel Defense Forces Deputy Chief of Staff Yair Naveh said on Sunday. Naveh added the Israeli army needed faith in God now more than its supply of planes and tanks. Naveh called Israel an island of calm in the storm of the Middle East, turmoil that had not been foreseen by intelligence officials despite their good work. “But it was ordained from above,” he said, “and we don’t know where it will lead, but it’s clear to us that there is a hand from above.” (Ha’aretz)

“Pray this kind of faith and recognition of G-d’s hand over the affairs of Israel will grow and spread.” (Barry Segal JNNNews.com) (READ MORE)

Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of Yehovah our God. They are brought to their knees and fall, but we rise up and stand firm (Psalm 20:7 ).

Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many; and in horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek Yehovah! (Isaiah 31:1).

The Muslim Caliphate and the Psalm 83 War

19 02 2011

The Muslim Caliphate and The Psalm 83 War: The Domino Theory Ends Here

Middle East Dominoes was the subject of my January 16 essay.

We are now seeing the dominoes falling at a dizzying pace. Where will it lead? Where will it stop? The final result will be the resurrection of the Islamic Caliphate. The entire Islamic Empire will be revived from Indonesia to Morocco, and from Turkey and the “stans” to the Sudan and Somalia. This will transpire in just a few years.

How can such a monumental event occur so fast? There are two forces, one physical, one spiritual. There is a physical theory of dominoes falling called “domino amplifier” which has proven that each domino can be larger than the previous. This can be demonstrated by starting with a normal one and, in 29 steps, knocking down the last one as tall as a skyscraper. See Domino Amplifier (scroll down to Article 1.68 on this link).

Thus what has already begun in Gaza, Lebanon, Tunisia and now Egypt, will continue to amplify until the fall of the Arab world to radical Islam and the revived Caliphate.

The second force is spiritual. Radical Islam is above all else a spiritual movement. By this I mean that it is a political ideology on steroids. If Communism was not godless it may have conquered the world. Ideas are not enough. But ideas with fanatical allegiance to an apocalyptic deity will indeed threaten the entire world. Now couple these facts with the Biblical narrative.

Psalm 83 is a core prophecy that must be understood. The first five verses explain the motive of these enemies: hatred of the God of the Bible who is worshipped by both Christians and Jews. Since God is out of reach, they must indirectly attack His chosen people Israel, even to the extent “that the name of Israel be remembered no more.”

Do not keep silent, O God! Do not hold Your peace, And do not be still, O God! For behold, Your enemies make a tumult; And those who hate You have lifted up their head. They have taken crafty counsel against Your people, And consulted together against Your sheltered ones. They have said, “Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, That the name of Israel may be remembered no more.” For they have consulted together with one consent; They form a confederacy against You (Psalm 83:1-5).

The Psalm continues by listing the actual attacking countries. The prophecy stands alone, but is even more profound when compared with a more common prophecy of the Gog and Magog War recorded in Ezekiel 38. This later war also lists the countries involved. The amazing fact is that none of the Psalm 83 protagonist countries are listed in Ezekiel’s prophecy. This leads to the conclusion that Israel actually wins the Psalm 83 war and occupies much of the surrounding territory. The first Israel land promise to Abraham was “from the river of Egypt to the great river Euphrates” (Genesis 15:18)

Another distinction between the prophecies is that the Psalm 83 nations in the closer ring around the land of Israel are all Arab Muslim nations. The nations remaining are all non-Arab Muslims. It is this larger circle of nations that fulfills the Biblical antichrist prophecies. The Islamic Empire will rise again and be governed under Sharia Law by the Caliphate. This revived empire will be ruled by the Islamic messianic figure called the Mahdi (or Twelfth Imam).

My friend Walid Shoebat, an ex-Muslim and former terrorist, expressed the process clearly in his excellent book: God’s War on Terror: Islam, Prophecy and the Bible (p.81; Top Executive Media, 2008). “Biblically, the Empire of the Antichrist will not be a new empire; rather it will be the revival of a previously great empire that will have suffered what the Bible calls a ‘fatal head wound’. (Revelation 13:3) But the wound will be healed and the empire will be revived from the dead as it were: ‘And the beast [Antichrist Empire] which I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were like those of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. And the dragon gave him his power and his throne and great authority.. And I saw one of his heads as if it had been slain and his fatal wound healed. And the whole world was amazed and followed after the beast.” (Revelation 13:2-3) “Today the Caliphate exists only in the desires of hundreds of millions of Muslims worldwide who want to revive this beast that was slain March 3, 1924. The last Caliphate – the Ottoman Caliphate – was officially abolished by the first President of the Turkish Republic, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk. The abolition of the Caliphate is profoundly significant for our study. For it was on this day that the Islamic Empire, led by a sitting Caliph for over fourteen hundred years suffered a fatal head wound. The position of “head of state” of the Islamic Empire was severed.”

The part that jumps out in Walid’s quote is the interpretation of the fatal head wound. By applying that verse to the line of Caliphs, we come full circle to our conclusion. The Middle East dominoes are falling. It is now unstoppable until the rise of the final Caliph and his Caliphate over the Muslim world and however many other nations that succumb. Ignorance and apathy are blinding many from this truth. It is time for the West to open their eyes to the inevitable realities. (READ MORE)

I Was Wrong

15 02 2011

ISRAEL E-CARD Volume 5 Issue 4 February 15, 2011

Topic #1 Erase the Tapes, Burn the Books

My friend Bob Mumford opined many years ago that cassette tapes should work for 5 years and then self-destruct. It had to do with “further revelation.” I find this true in my life. Only one year ago I published my second book Generation Last, and there are already two major changes as I work on my third book Generation Light.

I have changed my opinion on how to pronounce God’s name, Yehovah (from Yahweh). Now I have another change in my view of Psalm 83. I wrote in my book that Egypt is not in the list of nations there. I was wrong. About six months ago I had an exchange of books with another Middle East prophecy author named Bill Salus. His newest book is Israelstine, an open discussion of last day scriptures, especially Psalm 83. He began to convince me about Egypt, and current events have confirmed it. Please visit Bill’s site for more on his February 9 blog. Also, here is another link to his Psalm 83 work.

Topic #2 A Lamb For Rachel

Doreen has just published her second children’s book in time for Passover. For those who met Matt, a young Christian and his friend Rachel a young Jew in her first book, you will love their new adventures in discovery. In the previous book they learned How Hanukkah Saved Christmas. Now Matt learns about Passover by experiencing a real Passover with Rachel’s family.

This new story is an excellent chapter book for children and works great with Mom or Dad reading it to younger ones. Matt struggles with personal experiences that are about to turn his world upside down. All of these events teach both Matt and Rachel exciting new things that change their lives forever. Doreen and I are celebrating our 44th Anniversary this June. We are so thankful to Jesus for His life and light and blessings. All four of our books are available at our Elisha Vision bookstore, just click here.

He has shown you,

O man,

what is good;

And what does Yehovah require of you

But to do justly,

To love mercy,

And to walk humbly

with your God?

Micah 6:8

Egyptians Against Egyptians

1 02 2011

ISRAEL E-CARD Volume 5 Issue 3 February 1, 2011

Topic #1 The Heart of Egypt Will Melt with Fear – Isaiah 19

Egypt has entered meltdown. It cannot be reversed. There are certain prophetic events which when once started will follow through to their inevitable end. Jesus spoke of the events in play at His Second Coming as similar to the birth pangs of childbirth. They have begun all over the earth, but especially in the Middle East.

It is always about hatred of God at the bottom line. It will come back against Israel. Satan needs Egypt in his big Psalm 83 push against Israel. Their peace treaty must be broken to prepare for the destined Psalm 83 war.

Yet the plans of man and devil will melt away before the presence of Yehovah.

Like a lion, Israel crouches and lies down; like a lioness, who dares to arouse her? Blessed is everyone who blesses you, O Israel, and cursed is everyone who curses you (Numbers 24:9).

The prophecy of Isaiah 19 (below) seems to be in play now. Only two weeks ago I wrote of dominoes falling. Little did I know in my intellect what was about to break out in Egypt. When one reads the Bible and listens to the voice of God with the Holy Spirit, much is revealed. The God of Israel told Amos: Surely the Lord Yehovah does nothing, Unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets (Amos 3:7).

Topic #2 Why I say Yehovah’s Name

God’s personal name is used 6,828 times in the original Hebrew text of the Old Testament. Yet, neither Christian nor Jew uses that Name today. Our English translations insert LORD where His name should be. This has the effect of hiding the most profound revelation available to man in all history. Even Jesus said His ministry was not about Himself, but to bring us to the Father. It has been hidden away in the wisdom and judgment of God. I am on a mission from Yehovah Himself to help restore the use of His Name. When you replace the generic LORD with Yehovah in your personal study, you will never be the same. (Please visit the website His Hallowed Name Revealed Again for a scholarly background on the Name). (READ MORE)

Look! Yehovah is advancing against Egypt, riding on a swift cloud. The idols of Egypt tremble. The hearts of the Egyptians melt with fear. “I will make the Egyptians fight against each other-brother against brother, neighbor against neighbor, city against city, province against province. The Egyptians will lose heart, and I will confuse their plans. They will plead with their idols for wisdom. They will call on spirits, mediums, and psychics to show them which way to turn. I will hand Egypt over to a hard, cruel master, to a fierce king,” says the Lord, Yehovah Almighty. (Isaiah 19:1-4).

The Home Grown Terror Myth

26 01 2011

The MYTH

“Home grown terror”, what an odd politically correct term it is. What they mean to say is that the terror occurred in our homeland. The act may have even been perpetrated by naturalized American citizens but the ideology is definitely not American, nor is it a native born seed. It is an alien species transplanted from an evil hothouse in the Middle East.

The source of this terror blight in the earth is a specific identifiable movement rising out of Islam. The ultimate aim of this movement is the advancement of Islam until it rules the planet with Sharia Law. If you can find a Muslim who is against Sharia, he may be moderate. Every Muslim who embraces Sharia is by Western standards and definitions radical.

To some degree, the media is helping to blur the lines, by calling it home grown. Yet, this is not what our children learn in our schools. It is learned in Trojan horse mosques and the internet. Yes, it is growing in America, but it is not home grown. That is the myth.

The problem is not immigration, but migration. The first is people moving to our shores for the American dream of freedom, free enterprise and liberty. But those who are migrating here insist on keeping their own culture and laws, with the goal of imposing Sharia on the rest of us. Please inform yourself about the reality of Sharia Law. Don’t be deceived. Stay alert and awake. Pay attention before it is too late. (READ MORE)

Palestinian Flag Flies in DC

20 01 2011

President Obama has given permission for the Palestinian Authority to fly their flag at their DC offices. This de facto recognition of “Palestine” is a dangerous step for our nation. Several South American countries have officially recognized “Palestine”. Yet, where is it? What are its borders?

This unilateral recognition defies the facts on the ground. Israel must agree to the conditions or it will lead to war. The PA refuses to meet with Israel until Israel compromises all of its positions as a prerequisite to talks. This is madness.

Yet the Bible predicts that the whole world will come against Israel. It has begun. What is the danger to the United States? What door has President Obama opened? Let the Bible speak for the God of Israel:

This message concerning the fate of Israel came from Yehovah: “This message is from Yehovah, who stretched out the heavens, laid the foundations of the earth, and formed the spirit within humans. I will make Jerusalem and Judah like an intoxicating drink to all the nearby nations that send their armies to besiege Jerusalem. On that day I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone, a burden for the world. None of the nations who try to lift it will escape unscathed. For my plan is to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. Zechariah 12:1-3, 9 NLT

Middle East Dominoes

16 01 2011

ISRAEL E-CARD Volume 5 Issue 2 January 15, 2011

Topic #1 Lebanon and Tunisia Fall

The dominoes are falling. Can Jordan and Egypt be far behind? Even Saudi Arabia is not immune. The inmates are taking over the asylum. Hezbollah rules Lebanon. Hamas rules Gaza and is poised to take over the failed West Bank Palestinian Authority . Egypt is terrified of the Muslim Brotherhood. Turkey, Iran and Syria are rising to control all of Islam. They are willing to sacrifice the Arab Muslims for the advance of Islam.

Iraq also, in spite of the efforts of the U.S., is destined to succumb to the Iranian Shiite version of radical Islam with the return of Muqtada al-Sadr to Iraq after four years of exile and training in Iran. Psalm 83 is literally on the horizon.

Psalm 83 lists most of the nations now falling to the radical camp. When the dust settles after this inevitable clash, look for Israel to hold the prophesied Genesis 15:18 borders. This leads us to the climatic Ezekiel 38-39 defeat of attacking Islamic countries not included in the Psalm 83 list.

On the same day Yehovah made a covenant with Abram, saying: “To your descendants I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the River Euphrates. Genesis 15:18

Topic #2 The Unhinged Fringe Is Not Our Enemy

The Arizona shooter was evidently not an activist from Left or the Right. It seems he acted out of the torment of insanity. Could such a person be set off by politics? Sure, but he could just as easily flip out over traffic or any other trigger. This event is so over analyzed that the nation has missed the critical events in Lebanon and Tunisia (above) that are changing the balance of power in the Middle East and perhaps the world.

The actual threat is not the occasional lunatic, but the deliberate preplanned attacks coming from radical Islam. The former is completely random and extremely rare. The latter, however, is intentional, organized and flows directly out of a coherent ideological theology, Islam. If only one per cent of Muslims are suicidal radicals it would be 15 million threats. Even one tenth of a per cent would unleash 150,000 suicide bombers on the earth. Our President maintains that we are not at war with Islam and never will be, yet Islam is at war with us. Wake up America! (READ MORE)

Do not keep silent, O God! Do not hold Your peace, And do not be still, O God! For behold, Your enemies make a tumult; And those who hate You have lifted up their head. They have taken crafty counsel against Your people, And consulted together against Your sheltered ones. They have said, “Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, That the name of Israel may be remembered no more.” For they have consulted together with one consent; They form a confederacy against You. Psalm 83:1-5

Tragedy in Tucson

10 01 2011

On January 1, I posted something I heard from the Lord. It was a warning to believers to respect one another and to “Watch Your Mouth” this year. Let us apply that word to what happened in Arizona.

The senseless murders and wounding of 20 citizens was done by an unbeliever. He was indeed demonic, in the evil spirit of the enemy of our souls, who in Jesus’ words came only “to steal, and to kill, and destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly” (John 10:10).

Having three daughters and two granddaughters, my heart broke to hear of the murder of the nine year old girl. Yet, later her mother stated that she was sure the little girl was in heaven with her grandmother whom she lost only last year. What can possibly comfort and console a normal person who loses her mother and daughter in such a short space of time? It is only Jesus, the one Who is our resurrection and life.

Believers see the tragic events of life and death in context. We love and serve the God Yehovah, the One Who created life and will raise the dead to life eternal. It is His unchangeable immutable character, revealed through His Son Jesus, that is our Rock, our faith. He is the Father Who gave up His Son to the most horrible death that we might live. Brothers and sisters, let us keep our perspective in these troubled times.

Remember the nature of our God revealed in this great verse from Ezekiel: For I have no pleasure in the death of one who dies,” says the Lord Yehovah. “Therefore turn and live! (Ezekiel 18:32).

Forgiveness…a guest post

4 01 2011

(Ken Lawrence is my brother and is my pastor. He and his wife, Mavis, presently serve River of Life Church in Sandpoint, Idaho. His thoughts on forgiveness offered here were recently published in his local newspaper. His word is a great followup to my last post: Warning To All Believers)

New Year’s resolutions, diet, and exercise plans are what many folks are thinking about as we move into a new year. Perhaps January would be a good time to purpose in our hearts that we will follow the example of the Lord Jesus Christ, who made it His practice to forgive those who wronged Him. Early in His ministry He taught His followers to turn the other cheek when they were being mistreated, and even on the cross, forgiveness was part of His declaration. It has become more apparent to me recently that many of the hurting people that I know are hurting not only because of what has been done to them, but because of their inability to forgive those who have hurt them. So often our unforgiveness hurts us more than it hurts the other person. Unforgiveness becomes like a cancer that can eat you alive.

In the Lord’s Prayer, Jesus taught us that we would be forgiven in the same way that we forgive others. It is my conviction that you can find a new freedom in your life if you will forgive those who have hurt and wronged you. I do understand that some people treat us wickedly at times, and I am not suggesting that you always must stay in a place where you can continually be hurt. For many years I have shared that another person’s problem is not our primary problem, but rather our problem is our reaction to their problem. In the days ahead, please try to make it a way of life to forgive people around you who have wronged you and you will usually experience a peace and often you will see a difference in the life of the one you have forgiven. Have a great new year and be blessed in Jesus Christ’s name.

Warning To All Believers

1 01 2011

ISRAEL E-CARD Volume 5 Issue 1 January 1, 2011

Topic #1 Word for 2011—Watch Your Mouth

This is a sharp warning for the new year. Brothers and sisters beware of disrespect for one another. We are a kingdom of priests who function only by the anointing and authority of God in Jesus, through the Holy Spirit. There is a sober lesson from Moses’ time. It has been used for years as a defense of leaders and even to support the error of exalting some leaders over the body. “Touch not Mine anointed” has been corrupted by many to defend one man. This is wrong. If we truly believe in the priesthood of all believers, then we must apply this warning both ways. Leaders should also beware of touching God’s anointed throughout the flock. We must respect one another at all times. God can speak through or use any of us at any time. (Full audio MP3 of this message from 1-7-11 now available free, here).

We are all ministers, no exceptions!

Topic #2 Obama and Syria—A Travesty

Syria holds the record for the longest run on the US “state sponsors of terrorism” list. They were on the very first list initiated in 1979 and have held their spot ever since. There are currently four countries on the list. Syria refuses to allow the IAEA (the UN’s International Atomic Energy Agency) access to its nuclear program. Syria has transferred major weapons including Scud missiles to Hezbollah in Lebanon. When the UN Tribunal issues its report In just two weeks, Syria will probably be implicated in the assassination (5 years ago) of Lebanon’s then Prime Minister Rafik Hariri. What’s wrong with this picture?

This week President Obama made a recess appointment of an Ambassador to Syria (Robert Ford). This is a major foreign policy blunder. First, it bypasses Congress with no confirmation process. Second, we had no Syrian ambassador precisely because we pulled the last one out 5 years ago due to the assassination. All Presidents make partisan recess appointments, but this one enacts new foreign policy in direct defiance of Congress. It is beyond naïve, it is dictatorial, dangerous and destructive to our national interest. Pray the new Congress sworn in next week will rise up and block this reckless path.

1 Chronicles 16:22

“Touch not Mine anointed, and do My prophets no harm.” KJV

“Do not touch My anointed ones, and do My prophets no harm.” NKJV

“Do not touch these people I have chosen, and do not hurt My prophets.” NLT (Also see: Moses & Miriam in Numbers 12)

Motor Home Project

We have now paid 6K, only 2K more to reach our first goal of 8K to take possession. Thank you for your prayers and support for Elisha Vision and for Doreen and me personally.

Gaza Rockets Kindergarten

27 12 2010

Israel Retaliation Equals Aggression

Gaza shoots dozens of rocket in the last two weeks aimed at kindergartens, wounding a 14 yr. old girl. Abbas says if Israel retaliates it would harm the “peace process”. Give me a massive break. When will the world wake up to the difference between terrorist attacks intentionally targeting civilian children and Israel defending themselves by targeting the terrorist perpetrators? I’ve had it. Enough is enough.

The Palestinians deserve their own state? Right, and Jesus and Mary were Palestinians. Yes, they really claim that even though the name Palestina was not invented by the Romans for another 135 years in their attempt to stamp out the name of Judea (much like the prophecy of Psalm 83:4 applied to today’s events): They have said, “Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, That the name of Israel may be remembered no more.”

To those actually interested in truth, try this one. The new Palestine will not allow Jews to own land or even LIVE there. At the same time they have refused a new state more than once in recent years over the their demand that the Israeli state MUST allow seven million Arabs to move in to Israel with full Israeli citizenship. Do the math. Israeli now has less than six million Jews and a million and a half Arab citizens. Add seven million more and presto! No more Jewish state.

(Please take a minute and look at the links in the above commentary which come from Israel Today Magazine, but are well substantiated all over the media if you dig behind the surface propaganda. I highly recommend their site.) (READ MORE)

The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness. 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12

Wise Men Still Seek Him

15 12 2010

ISRAEL E-CARD Volume 4 Issue 24 December 15, 2010

Topic #1 Jesus Is My Reason for the Season

Christmas once again dominates the conversation. The convergence of agendas creates extra pressure. Congress is down to the wire again this year passing tax relief and cramming another 20,000 hidden earmarks in the omnibus CR (Continuing Resolution) just to fund the government. Atheists are attacking belief in God on billboards. Merchants are clamoring and almost begging as they vie for our dollars. Shoppers are frenzied with last minute pressure to avoid offending by their gifts or lack thereof. Whew!

And oh, by the way, the Creator of the Universe was born into our humanity for the express purpose of bringing fallen man back into loving relationship with our heavenly Father. Jesus is buried under the avalanche of commercialism, government chaos, and personal gratification. Yet, miraculously, the name of Jesus is heard everywhere. Once a year Jesus’ name is in the news (even though scholars believe His actual birth was probably in late September). The Messiah is news even at Macy’s. (Yes, you will really be blessed to click on this link.) I pray you recognize the choices before you, choose wisely and be blessed. As for me and my house, we will serve Jesus (Yahweh Yeshua: God is salvation).

Topic #2 Fire Rain and SNOW!

During Israel’s worst fire, we prayed for rain to end the drought. Last week brought enough rain to replace the deficit of the previous two months. Last weekend four feet of snow fell in the Golan foothills and twelve feet on Mt. Hermon. Thanks to God for His mercy. Pray Israel will recognize and turn to Him.

Topic # 3 Motor Home Project Update

We are very close to the 5K level and then 3K more to reach our first goal of 8K to take possession. (The remainder of the total 12K price would be at 500 a month for 8 months interest free.) Please pray and ask the Lord if you can give a year end donation to help us get over the top. Thank you for your prayers for Elisha Vision and for Doreen and me personally.

He took Him up in his arms and blessed God and said: “Lord, now You are letting Your servant depart in peace, According to Your word; For my eyes have seen Your salvation Which You have prepared before the face of all peoples, A light to bring revelation to the Gentiles, And the glory of Your people Israel. “And Joseph and His mother marveled at those things which were spoken of Him. Then Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary His mother, “Behold, this Child is destined for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign which will be spoken against (yes, a sword will pierce through your own soul also), that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.” Luke 2:28-33

Miracle Rain

6 12 2010

Due to the most severe forest fire in Israel’s modern history, many believers all over the world have been praying for rain. Sunday night as they were finally beginning to gain control of the fire, a wonderful heavy rain fell on northern Israel. Thank you very much, Jesus Son of God, or in Hebrew: Todah rabah, Yeshua ben Yahweh! Ask Yahweh for rain In the time of the latter rain. Yahweh will make flashing clouds; He will give them showers of rain, Grass in the field for everyone. Zechariah 10:1 Click this link for the full story in Israel Today Magazine.

The rain came last night to Mt. Carmel exactly at the time we were praying for rain in our Issachar Forum Prophetic Think Tank in Wake Forest, NC. We had been talking about Elijah and the prophets of Baal on Mt. Carmel from 1 Kings 18:21 and Elijah’s famous challenge: If Yahweh is God, follow Him: but if Baal, follow him.

In Elijah’s day it was the end of a three year drought. We pray that this fire and the rain that followed will end the current seven year Israeli drought.

WikiLeaks Helps Israel

1 12 2010

YHVH

ISRAEL E-CARD Volume 4 Issue 23 December 1, 2010

Topic #1 Israel Benefits From WikiLeaks

Big news around the globe this week is all the fallout from classified documents posted on the internet. Just about everybody comes out looking pretty bad except Israel. According to a report in Israel Today Magazine: “If anything, the leaks were positive and did not damage Israel’s image at all,” former National Security Adviser Giora Eiland told Voice of Israel radio. “There was no contradiction between what Israel has said in public and in private.” What a testament to integrity. Other countries say one thing in public and something else in private.

But above all things, my brothers, don’t swear, neither by heaven, nor by the earth, nor by any other oath; but let your yes be yes, and your no, no; so that you don’t fall into hypocrisy. James 5:12

Pray for the real peace of Jerusalem. Come Lord Jesus, come.

Topic # 2 Yahweh Explained

The personal name of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is used 6,828 times in the Hebrew scriptures. However, in the English translations it is mistranslated as LORD (all caps) most of the time. There are many prophesies declaring that His name will be known in the last days. In Generation LAST, my newest book, I devote three chapters on the restoration of His holy name. English spellings vary between Jehovah, Yehovah and Yahweh. With the rise of the pagan god of Islam, more of the world knows that name than the God of Israel. Yahweh will have no other gods before Him. His name will be known in all the earth. For more, get my book online Books & Donations tab above.

Topic # 3 December 1 Update on Motor Home

Many thanks to those of you who are helping us with our motor home project. We have now paid $4,000. When we pay another 4K we can take possession and pay the last 4K at 500 a month for 8 months, interest free. Thank you Jesus. John 8:44

God also said, “Tell them, Yahweh, the God of your ancestors–the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob–has sent me to you.’ This will be my name forever; it has always been my name, and it will be used throughout all generations. Exodus 3:15 NLT

Holy Jerusalem

15 11 2010

ISRAEL E-CARD Volume 4 Issue 22 November 15, 2010

Topic #1 The Myth of Islam Claiming Jerusalem

Historically speaking, Islam’s claim to Jerusalem is relatively recent, less than 100 years. Jerusalem is mentioned 811 times in the Bible and zero times in the Koran. Today, in fact, the Shiite wing of Islam does not revere Jerusalem.

It is convenient for the Palestinians to exaggerate their claims for political purposes. When Ariel Sharon’s group of 20 people visited the Temple Mount in 2000, it was cleared weeks ahead by Palestinian authorities. Still, Yassar Arafat called for a million martyrs to come and defend Al-Aqsa.

There are two sites in the entire world where Jews are prohibited by a state to pray. One is Mecca in Saudi Arabia and the other is the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. Israel itself bans Jews and Christians prayer to avoid incitement.

Yet, Jerusalem has been seen by Jews and the Bible as their only capital city for over 3,000 years.

Topic # 2 Israeli Navigator Was Messianic

One of the two Israelis killed in last week’s air force accident in the southern Negev region was a Messianic Jew from the Jerusalem suburb of Maaleh Adumim. The funeral of Maj. Emanuel Levi, 30, was Sunday morning in the Israeli capital. Levi was a member of a Messianic congregation in Maaleh Adumim, a town of nearly 30,000 that the world wants evacuated because it is a “Jewish settlement.” (Israel Today 11-14-10)

PM Netanyahu said last week in New Orleans. ”Israel will not be dictated to.” (The Daily Star 11-9-10) He later said in a November 9 formal statement: “Jerusalem is not a settlement.” (Jerusalem Post 11-10-10)

Topic # 3 Update on Motor Home Project

Many thanks to those of you who are helping us purchase a very good 1996 Airstream Land Yacht motor home for our ministry travels. We have now paid $3,000 to the owner (a brother in Jesus). When we pay another 5K we can take possession and pay the rest at 500 a month for 10 months interest free. Please pray for Yahweh’s remaining provision. Donations can be made at Books and Donations tab, above.

I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go into the house of Yahweh.” Our feet have been standing Within your gates, O Jerusalem! Jerusalem is built As a city that is compact together, Where the tribes go up, The tribes of Yahweh, To the Testimony of Israel, To give thanks to the name of Yahweh. For thrones are set there for judgment, The thrones of the house of David. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May they prosper who love you. Peace be within your walls, Prosperity within your palaces.” For the sake of my brethren and companions, I will now say, “Peace be within you.” Because of the house of Yahweh our God I will seek your good. Psalm 122

If You Don’t Vote, Don’t Pray

1 11 2010

ISRAEL E-CARD Volume 4 Issue 21 November 1, 2010

Topic #1 The Role of the Believer in a Republic

First, remember that we Americans live in a republic, not a pure democracy. That simply means, we vote to elect others to represent us in the houses of Congress where the governmental decisions are made. There is a profound truth revealed in Daniel 2:21 – And He changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and raises up kings; He gives wisdom to the wise And knowledge to those who have understanding. This is clear when the government is a monarchy, but more subtle when we have the vote. God is still the one who chooses, but He leads His people to vote His way. If we do not vote, we are giving over our personal authority to the enemy. Therefore pray for God’s choice, then vote!

The old cliché is that if you don’t vote, you can’t later complain about the government. My brother Ken, who pastors a church in Sandpoint, Idaho, preached yesterday with the title If You Don’t Vote, Don’t Pray. In a monarchy, you just pray, but in our system, obedience requires your vote and prayer.

Topic # 2 Turkey’s Changing Attitude

A document by the Turkish National Security Council released on 10-27-10, defines Israel’s policies as a threat to Turkish interests and policies, marking the first time Israel has been defined a potential threat by Turkey’s most important body on national security. In addition to adding Israel as a “strategic threat” to Turkey, the TNSC also removed Iran as a threat. This like the US removing Al Qaida from our terrorist list and adding Canada as a threat to us.

Turkey used to be Israel’s best friend in the Middle East, but no more. Turkey is fast regressing into a full-blown Islamic theocracy complete with forced Sharia compliance at every level. The European Union had better take note of these sweeping changes happening in Turkey when they decide whether to add Islamic Turkey to the EU.

UNLESS Yahweh builds the house, They labor in vain who build it; Unless Yahweh guards the city, The watchman stays awake in vain. Psalm 127:1

So you, son of man: I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; therefore you shall hear a word from My mouth and warn them for Me. Ezekiel 33:7

Truth in Humor

30 10 2010

There is only one country in the Middle East that recognizes Feminists, Christians, Professors for Academic Freedom and Gays as having human rights. There is only one nation in the entire Middle East which respects their right to live openly as the people they are in the life style that they enjoy in the West.
That one country is the Jewish State of Israel.

The country that their organizations love to hate.
Bizarre! (Israeli Dry Bones cartoonist Yaakov Kirschen)

3 Updates

30 10 2010

1. Please vote this Tuesday in this extremely critical election.

2. Praise Yahweh! We have paid the second $1,000. for our motor home. Thank you gratefully to those who have given a donation. The total remaining goal in $11,500. Others who are led by the Holy Spirit to give may do so with a check to Elisha Vision PO Box 1601 Wake Forest, NC 27588. Online please click Books and Donations on the Menu bar.

3. We had a wonderful time at the Benson Revival meetings this week. The theme was Rise & Shine, What on Earth is God Doing? There were five messages: The Rise of Israel, the Church, the name of God, Islam and the Glory of God. Blessings in Yeshua ben Yahweh, Les & Doreen

Here is Sara Jean Fisk’s report of the meetings:

Hi all,

Where do I begin?? With Yahweh… He opened a wonderful door for John, Les and Dale to preach a revival over in Benson at the Benson Pentecostal Free Will Baptist Church. Pastor Glen and Sandy and their congregation have opened their doors and their hearts to not only us, but the Holy Spirit. We have been included as family and feel like family, a kinship that only happens immediately when we are ‘echad’ (one) in Jesus. It has been such a blessing to us.

They bless us by sharing that we are a blessing to them too. Pastor Glen commented that this is a revival no one will forget. I imagine that is true as the subjects each of the brother’s chose to speak on were cutting edge information on what Yahweh is doing and saying right now. Talk about a ‘now’ word.

For us, it has been an immense opportunity to be doing kingdom work and seeing the fruit of it each night. The number of people each night have been many, which indicates they are a congregation of hungry souls for more truth. Les complemented Pastor Glenn, and rightfully so, that he is doing a great job leading and teaching his congregation for them to be so wonderfully open to the truths that John, Les and Dale have been presenting each night. They decided to offer q and a time at the end of their presentations and it made us joyful to see how many would stay after the service was dismissed for the q and a time. Some great and thought provoking questions were asked of the three brothers and seeing I am the one writing and sending this e-mail I want to tell you they did the kingdom of God proud. They are well studied, carry the scriptures on their tongues, and allow the Holy Spirit to speak through them.

I want to bless you SPC and tell you that we are soooo blessed and privileged to have these three passionate men for Yahweh in our midst each Friday night to teach us. They need our prayers more than ever as the persecution for Truth grows each day.

We miss all of you who cannot be with us in Benson but we know your prayers are with us. Tomorrow evening is the final evening which everyone is looking forward to with expectation. Les will teach on the Rise of the Glory of Yahweh and we will pray to impart that Glory at the end of the service.

As I reread this e-mail I feel I so inadequately was able to put into words just how great this week has been, but I did my best. Hope you get some idea from this e-mail.

Love to you all, Sara Jean and John

Juan Williams Lynched

21 10 2010

It is no longer enough to be liberal to be on NPR, or the ONLY black correspondent. Now, you must also censor what you say about Muslims. Soon there will be nothing left to report. With the rise of Islamic terrorism worldwide (virtually every violent conflict on earth has one or both Islamic protagonists), an awful lot of the real hard news out there is on the subject. We are going to need a new influx of heartwarming animal stories to fill the newscasts.

My favorite blogger makes a good point that Islam is not a race. There are Muslims in most countries and ethnic groups in the world. Stop the “bigot” defense. (Disclaimer: she happens to be my daughter. Please visit her blog about Team Juan here.)

There needs to be serious analysis of the real threat posed by the political and religious ideology of world conquest of Islam. Also, please stop with the “millions of moderates” defense. Since there are 1.5 billion adherents to Islam, consider that if only one per cent were suicide bombers it would be 15 million radicals we should watch out for. This is a plea for sanity. There is a real threat out there. What per cent of Germans were Nazis? Most Germans were not. The problem is when the crazies take over and impose their will on the moderates. That is exactly what is happening to moderate Muslims.

As a Christian, I believe that Jesus died for the whole world, including Muslims. Every person has the invitation to renounce their pagan past or unbelief and accept Jesus as the son of God. This is the religious difference between Islam and the Bible. The Koran explicitly and adamantly denies that its god is a father or that Jesus is the son of God. The Bible defines that position as the very essence of the spirit of anti-Christ.

Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son. Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either; he who acknowledges the Son has the Father also. 1 John 2:22-23

Father of Lies

15 10 2010

ISRAEL E-CARD Volume 4 Issue 20 October 15, 2010

Topic #1 Shocker! Times Square Bomber Lied

Lost in the report of the life sentence handed down, is a profound statement by the bomber himself. “As Shahzad defended his actions, (Judge) Cedarbaum at one point cut him off to ask whether he had sworn allegiance to the United States when he became a U.S. citizen last year. “I did swear, but I did not mean it.” Shahzad said” (Washington Post 10-6).

Most westerners don’t have a clue about basic Islam. The Koran teaches it is OK to lie to infidels. In fact, it is good to lie if it advances Islam. Shahzad was being a good Muslim when he lied to obtain US citizenship. He defrauded our honor system for his terrorist goal of killing some of us. As a citizen he drew less scrutiny. When will our nation wake up? Of course helied, he has the same spirit as his father, the devil. Satan is the father of lies, according to John 8:44. The Islamic concept of taqiyya is their legal basis for lying. (Just Google the word yourself and read up on it).

Topic # 2 Ignoring the Obvious Solution

The fruitless striving for Middle East Peace always overlooks the easiest answer. Combine the oil wealth of the Arab states with the massive uninhabited land area they hold and simply build fabulous new cities and irrigated land and provide unimaginable luxury to the Palestinian “refugees”. Of course we know this won’t work because the real Islamic goal is the elimination of Israel, not “two states for two peoples.”

This was actually suggested by Mike Huckabee during his 2008 presidential campaign. The most recent was this week by an Israeli, Rabbi Dov Lior, head of the Yesha Rabbis’ Council. He announced that he favors the Arab “right of return.” A hush fell upon the audience and he was quick to explain that by “right of return” he meant “the right of all Arabs to return to the Arabian Peninsula.” (Israelnationalnews.com)

For you are the children of your father the Devil, and you love to do the evil things he does. He was a murderer from the beginning and has always hated the truth. There is no truth in him. When he lies, it is consistent with his character; for he is a liar and the father of lies. John 8:44 NLT

…just because they broke their promises, does that mean God will break his promises? Of course not! Though everyone else in the world is a liar, God is true. Romans 3:3-4 NLT

Humor With a Message

1 10 2010

ISRAEL E-CARD Volume 4 Issue 19 October 1, 2010

Topic #1 A Cartoon Worth A Thousand Words

Sometimes adding a little humor and satire gets the message across better than straight writing. My favorite Israeli cartoonist is Yaakov Kirschen who has been doing Dry Bones since 1973. I highly recommend that you subscribe to his emailed cartoons. It is free and quite enlightening, especially the background reasons behind the cartoons included with the email. This recent one is completely true to the facts.

Topic # 2 Elisha Vision

Our ministry is called Elisha Vision because we know that God is opening the eyes of His people in these days to see His mighty Hand just as happened with Elisha’s servant.

And when the servant of the man of God arose early and went out, there was an army, surrounding the city with horses and chariots. And his servant said to him, “Alas, my master! What shall we do?” So he answered, “Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” And Elisha prayed, and said, “Yahweh, I pray, open his eyes that he may see.” Then Yahweh opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw. And behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha. 2 Kings 6:15-17

Feast of Tabernacles

15 09 2010

ISRAEL E-CARD Volume 4 Issue 18 September 15, 2010

Topic # 1 Yahweh’s Feast for the Nations

The final feast of Yahweh in Leviticus 23 is later specifically commanded for all nations in Zechariah 14:16: And it shall come to pass that everyone who is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall go up from year to year to worship the King, Yahweh of hosts, and to keep the Feast of Tabernacles.

This prophecy is fulfilled following the supernatural defeat of all the nations who come against Israel in the last days. The nations who are left are even warned (in verse 19) that they will experience drought if they fail to come up every year to the feast.

Thousands of Christians are gathering in Jerusalem this month for the glorious celebration of this great harvest feast. Yet most of Christendom is oblivious, that it points us to the Second Coming of the Messiah Yeshua when the eternal Creator God will “tabernacle” or make His dwelling with us! And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. Revelation 21:3. The greatest fulfillment of the Feast of Tabernacles is yet to come!

Topic #2 Holiness To the LORD!

Two amazing revelations are found in the end of Zechariah 14. Every pot in Jerusalem and Judah is considered holy to God. People will use them for sacrifice and for cooking.

First, I see the priesthood of all believers. All bring their own offerings before Yahweh.

Secondly, there are no clean and unclean vessels. All are clean before the Lord! It is similar to my concept of Sabbaths, where I believe every day becomes a Sabbath rest with Jesus our Savior, Shepherd, King, Husband and Friend.

In that day HOLINESS TO YAHWEH shall be engraved on the bells of the horses. The pots in Yahweh’s house shall be like the bowls before the altar. Yes, every pot in Jerusalem and Judah shall be holiness to Yahweh of hosts. Everyone who sacrifices shall come and take them and cook in them. In that day there shall no longer be a Canaanite in the house of Yahweh of hosts. Zechariah 14:20-21

You Kill, We Build

1 09 2010

ISRAEL E-CARD Volume 4 Issue 17 September 1, 2010

Topic # 1 Israeli’s RESTART Building Projects

The Yesha Council, representing all of the Israeli cities and communities in the so-called West Bank (Biblical Judea and Samaria), responded to the Monday terrorist murders of four adults and a baby in the womb by saying: “You Kill, We Build.” This comes four weeks before the end of the building moratorium. The last time I visited Israel we met with some wonderful people who lay their lives on the line for the Zionist dream. 300,000 Israeli’s now call the area home.

It is not primarily a political vision, it is spiritual. The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob promised the land to Israel. It is His will. It is the only outcome, no matter what man says or does. I have often proclaimed: “The world has it’s eyes on the West Bank, but God has His eyes on the East Bank.” In the news, you would think the Jordan River is the only river in the world with only one bank. Keep your eyes on the other side of the Jordan. On the same day Yahweh made a covenant with Abram, saying: “To your descendants I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the River Euphrates. Genesis 15:18 Stay tuned!

Topic #2 The NO PEACE Talks—Odds Stacked 4-1

For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of My people slightly, Saying, ‘Peace, peace!’ When there is no peace. Jeremiah 8:11 NKJV

There is zero possibility for the peace parley this week in DC to bring actual agreement. The prophetic voice of God is always way ahead of geopolitics. President Obama included Jordan and Egypt in the talks to stack the decks against Israel. Along with Abbas of the Palestinian Authority, when you add in Obama’s bias, the odds are four to one. Imagine every topic going around the table: Israel says no, the others say yes, yes, yes, yes. Israel says yes, the others say no, no, no, no!

They offer superficial treatments for my people’s mortal wound. They give assurances of peace when all is war. Jeremiah 8:11 NLT

These evil prophets deceive my people by saying, `All is peaceful!’ when there is no peace at all! It’s as if the people have built a flimsy wall, and these prophets are trying to hold it together by covering it with whitewash! Ezekiel 13:10 NLT

Wars and Rumors of Wars

15 08 2010

ISRAEL E-CARD Volume 4 Issue 16 August 15, 2010

Topic # 1 Is The Sky Falling?

And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. Matthew 24:6

There is a tendency for prophecy buffs to want to put all of the last days prophecies into the same short time frame. However, this warning of Jesus informs us that even with wars multiplying the end is not quite at hand. There are multiple events between now and then.

We have predicted the Psalm 83 War to occur this summer, which still seems very possible. Yet, Israel’s closest neighbors are listed in that Psalm, while a completely different group is listed in Ezekiel 38-39. We conclude that these are two separate and distinct wars yet to come. It is sort of like an inner and outer beltline of a city. It looks to me like the first group has ceased to exist and the outer group steps up in Ezekiel. There is another very interesting observation. The inner country group is Arab Muslims, but the outer group is non-Arab Muslims.

Either way, Jesus says don’t be troubled, because the wars must happen before the end. So, fasten your seat belt as we approach these prophetic crossroads.

Topic #2 Deadline This Week for Israel’s Iran Attack

Former UN Ambassador John Bolton predicted on Fox News Friday that Israel would have to attack Iran by August 21 because Russia’s is about to fire up Iran’s first nuclear reactor. Once the fuel rods are loaded, “it makes it essentially immune from attack by Israel. Because once the rods are in the reactor an attack on the reactor risks spreading radiation in the air, and perhaps into the water of the Persian Gulf.” (Newsmax)

Also looming is the deadline for the peace talks which are doomed to fail on Palestinian preconditions threatening Israel’s very existence and must therefore always be rejected.

Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?” And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you. “For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. “And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. Matthew 24:3-6

Can You See Forever?

13 08 2010

What is your worldview? Secular humanist? Biblical? How about Prophetic?

Where do you live? Is eternity in view in your daily life? To borrow a phrase, “I can see eternity from my house.” I have a prophetic worldview, which is to see eternity in current events.

“Only one life ‘twill soon be past,

Only what’s done for Christ will last!”

C.T.Studd

Pastor Earl Waterman, a beloved mentor, said to me over 40 years ago, “If you can possibly take the Bible literally, do so.” I do! The Bible is a window into the actual future world.

I reached a milestone of 65 years old this year. Key mentors to me were my Dad, Weldon Lawrence, and also Derek Prince, Earl Waterman, and Arthur Burt, who all lived to the ages of 90-100. Brother Arthur is still ministering at 98. So, on that scale, I am looking at one third of my life ahead.

However, my literal prophetic view suggests that Jesus will come back sooner than that timetable. That is why I wrote Generation LAST, which is Biblical evidence for the imminent end of this age, and the glorious appearing of Yeshua ben Yahweh, Jesus, Son of God!

Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit”; whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that.” James 4:13-15

What does this mean for our daily lives? Facing the sober reality of human mortality is totally changed for the believer. Look how dismal this existence must be for a secularist. No hope. No future. No purpose. They see fear, death, disease, poverty, injustice and hopelessness. Believers have a future and a hope. We have a transcendent eternal purpose! God has work for us to do for Him. “I must be about my Father’s business.” My view has changed. This really is the last generation. There is much to accomplish, much to proclaim. There are many to warn of “the wrath to come”. It is serious, but it is also exciting. What a day to be alive! What a day to serve our God!

“This is the day the LORD has made.

Let us rejoice and be glad in it.”

Psalm 118:24

A Rocket A Day

1 08 2010

ISRAEL E-CARD Volume 4 Issue 15 August 1, 2010

Topic # 1 Over 400 Rockets SINCE Gaza War

Nearly an average of one rocket has been fired every day since February last year. The Gaza War of January 2009 (called Operation Cast Lead by Israel) was entered into because of more than 7,000 rockets in the previous three years. That barrage was the Hamas answer to Israel withdrawing ten thousand Jewish residents from Gaza in a unilateral concession for peace. It did not work. It never does. Hamas does not want to hurt Israel, it wants to destroy Israel. It says so in their Charter. (By the way, the same clause is still in the Palestinian Authority Charter also, despite Arafat and now Abbas legally agreeing to remove it.)

Please remember that Hamas is an acronym for their Arabic name that conveniently also happens to be the Hebrew word for violence used many times in the Bible. They knew that when they chose Hamas as their name. They are not just people who do violent acts, they are the actual embodiment of the spirit of violence and I do mean it in the demonic spirit sense. Hamas occurs three times in Psalm 140 alone.

Topic #2 Ground Zero Mosque Fiasco

Recently 10,000 people gathered at Ground Zero to protest plans to build an Islamic Center and mosque at the 9/11 site. The basic insensitivity along with the historical pattern of Muslims building mosques at key sites of conquered enemies of Islam should be enough to ban it. However, beyond these and many other obvious proofs of a really, really bad idea, there is one final clincher.

This sign is from the Ground Zero Rally on June 6, 2010. You could insert a church or any other religion’s place of worship. The point is that only Islam is allowed in “pure” Muslim countries. Are we so blind to the

ever increasing evil encroachment of Islam on our shores? Wake up America!

DELIVER me O Yahweh from evil men; Preserve me from hamas men Who plan evil things in their hearts; They continually gather together for war. They sharpen their tongues like a serpent; The poison of asps is under their lips. Selah

Keep me O Yahweh from the hands of the wicked; Preserve me from hamas men Who have purposed to make my steps stumble. The proud have hidden a snare for me and cords; They have spread a net by the wayside; They have set traps for me. Selah

Let not a slanderer be established in the earth; Let evil hunt the hamas man to overthrow him. Psalm 140:1-5, 11

Jerusalem: Best City

15 07 2010

ISRAEL E-CARD Volume 4 Issue 14 July 15, 2010

Topic # 1 Jerusalem Best in Africa and Middle East

Travel and Leisure magazine has declared Jerusalem the number one city to visit in the Middle East and Africa for the summer and fall vacation seasons.

Cape Town, South Africa placed number two on the list of 10, and Tel Aviv came in third place.

The list was compiled based on a survey of readers who had recently visited the region. They ranked cities according to enjoyment of sights, culture and arts, dining, attitude of local residents, shopping and overall value.

From January to July of this year, Israel has seen a record number of tourists. Well over 1.5 million people have visited Israel during the first half of the year, and the numbers are expected to grow as the biblical High Holy Days approach. (Israel Today Magazine—www.israeltoday.co.il.)

Topic #2 Abbas Is a Deceiver X3

Three headlines in ten days illustrate the duplicity of the Palestinian “Peace Partner”.

Abbas honors Hezbollah spiritual leader PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas and Fatah have honored Muhammad Hussein Fadlallah, who was on the U.S. list of wanted terrorists.

Mahmoud Abbas: “If all of you [Arab States] will fight Israel, we are in favor. Palestinians will not fight alone because they don’t have the ability.”

Abbas honors mastermind of Munich Olympics massacre. PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas has praised the mastermind of the murders of 11 Israeli athletes in the 1972 Munich Olympics as “a wonderful brother, companion, tough and stubborn, relentless fighter.” (Please visit Palestinian Media Watch to read each article at www.palwatch.org).

Arise, Jerusalem! Let your light shine for all the nations to see! For the glory of Yahweh is shining upon you. Darkness as black as night will cover all the nations of the earth, but the glory of Yahweh will shine over you. All nations will come to your light. Mighty kings will come to see your radiance.… Your gates will stay open around the clock to receive the wealth of many lands. The kings of the world will be led as captives in a victory procession. (Is.60:1-3, 11 NLT)

WWJD OR WWMD?

1 07 2010

ISRAEL E-CARD Volume 4 Issue 13 July 1, 2010

Topic # 1 Quite The Contrast

The Christian classic In His Steps by Charles Sheldon asked “What would Jesus do?” The age of the acronym reduced it to WWJD. What if you used the same concept with Mohammed? How do the two founders of their faiths compare in their conduct? The founder of Islam is known for multiple wives, child brides, bloody warfare, lying and stealing. None of these charges can be attributed to Jesus. My friend John Fisk makes the salient point that if you follow the religious ideology of Islam you can be just like its founder. In fact, the better Muslim you are, the more you would be like him. I prefer to follow the example of Jesus.

It is also interesting that the acronym for “what would Mohammed do?” includes WMD, famously used for weapons of mass destruction. I believe this applies to Islam on several levels, most seriously the eternal judgment of those who deny the fatherhood of Yahweh and sonship of Yashua (Jesus).

Finally, the better question is not what would Jesus do? But what did He do? He did not live for His own will, but the will of the Father. He did nothing of His own initiative, as John’s Gospel declares, but He always asked the Father what to say and do. Then Jesus answered and said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner.” John 5:19

Topic #2 IAF Landed At Saudi Base

The Israeli Air Force recently unloaded military equipment at a Saudi Arabian base, an Iranian news agency claimed last week, while a large American force has massed in Azerbaijan, which is on the northwest border of Iran. The report follows the Pentagon’s confirmation that a large American fleet sailed through the Suez Canal earlier this month, with an Israeli ship joining the armada. (IsraelNationalNews.com)

FATHER and SON

Who has ascended into heaven, or descended? Who has gathered the wind in His fists? Who has bound the waters in a garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His name, and what is His Son’s name, If you know? Proverbs 30:4
