    Babelology - Ideologies and Their Origins



    Babelology - Ideologies and Their Origins

    Babelology is the delusional, godless ideology and philosophy (religious or political) that is outworked and practiced here in time by unregenerate (i.e., Fallen) man (see Romans 7:15-24; 8:5-8). This vain ideology seeks to exclude the reality of Almighty God - His Word, His Attributes, His Absolutes, His Natural Laws, His Righteousness, His Salvation, His Judgment and His Sovereignty as Creator - from one’s thoughts and actions. It is manifested in a life led by self-will, ruled and dominated by man's fallen nature marred by sin (Romans 5:12,19; 8:5-8; Gal. 5:16-17) and a deceived heart (Jer. 17:9). Unbelief (godlessness) is one of its main fruits (Matt 15:16-20; Gal 5:19-21; 6:7-8). During the whole time of earth’s history (which Biblically is approximately 6000 years), Babelology has expressed itself through human defiance and unbelief (see Romans 1:18-22).

    Babelology may be found in many different religious and political manners and forms (Left/ Right, Subjective/ Objective, Absolute/ Relative, etc.), and purports that man can exist in time and eternity without a vital relationship to the Eternal Creator and Sustainer established in truth and righteousness (Rom. 1:23-32). It is an existence that functions in darkness - not in light, in error - not in truth, in unrighteousness - not in righteousness, and in godlessness - not in godliness. The end result of this delusion is the absolute damnation and eternal ruin of its practitioner in Almighty God’s eternal prison for rebellious (lost) men and angels: Hell, or the Lake of Fire (Ecclesiastes 12:13-14; 1 Cor. 15:50; Rev 20:11-15; 21:8,27; 22:11).

    Babel to Present - (See Chart)

    Ever since the Tower of Babel rebellion about 4,200 years ago (Gen 11:1-9), the vast majority of mankind has been governed and ruled by this godless political and religious system. This idolatrous ideology has indeed developed and deepened throughout the world system for ~ 4,200 years. Civilizations and cultures, ideologies and philosophies, religions and societies, cities and nations, morals and traditions have all sprung forth from this event. God in His judgment scattered the people (Gen 11:8-10; Deut. 32:7-8) to the “four corners” of the earth. It is these God-rejecting rebellious seeds - planted by the founders of Babel - that now dominates the world. The great hope and aim of this godless ideology is to achieve a global Utopia in which man's fallen nature and the fallen creation will be in harmony with one another. This Godless philosophy and hope is absolutely doomed to dismal failure (Rom. 8:20-22, 1 Cor. 1:18-31).
    “One must look outside the box of this world system and believe Almighty God and His Word! Then and only then can one find the answers of life, and see the reality of what life and existence in time and eternity is all about.” (see 1 Kings 8:60; Isaiah 45:21-24; John 14:6)
    Almighty God is the reality of time and eternity! All gods, ideologies, philosophies and traditions are absolutely bankrupt and an abomination before Him (Exodus 20:3; Deut. 4:23-25). Almighty God’s Word states:

    I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me (Isaiah 45:5a).

    God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth (John 4:24).

    Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me (John 14:6).

    Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth (John 17:17).

    For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven (Psalm 119:89).

    Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever (Psalm 119:160).

    The Bible states that Man must be rescued from his fallen humanity (i.e., lost condition). This is achieved when one puts their trust and faith in the Savior of the world, Jesus Christ (Romans 7:24, Acts 16:30-31). In Christ is found all the provision for the sinful soul (1 Cor. 1:30).

    Almighty God will one day remove this fallen world (1 Peter 2:7-13; 1 John 2:15-17) and create a new Heavens and a new Earth (Isaiah 65:17; Rev.21:1). Then, and only then, will all things be redeemed and in harmony with Almighty God, the Creator of all (1 Cor. 15:26-28; Rev. 21; 22:1-5).

    In these last days come out of the godless ideologies of the day - religious and political - and put your sole trust in the God of Truth and Reality (2 Cor. 6:17-18)! Your hope will be sure and you will never be the same!

    The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

    Making War With The Right and The Righteous.



    Tuesday, April 14, 2009

    Making War With The Right and The Righteous.

    There was a Homeland Security report that was released and dated April 7th entitled, "Right-wing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment" which brings great alarm to all Conservatives. -WND

    In this report is found the legitimization of observing and demonizing many conservative groups, values, our leaders and our core beliefs which are rooted and founded in our Judean/Christian heritage. Make no mistake, this report is the spearhead of this Radial Leftist administration.

    This current administration is hell bent on demonization and procuring a subtle stealth war against the Right and its values. It has been in the heart of this current President since his early days. This report’s main purpose is to plant the seed of suggestion and move a demonic action line and agenda. The Left is engaging in an absolute offensive war against the Right- with very little Republican opposition in Washington. The Left’s main goal is to preserve and protect its power base and to eliminate any threats against its political agenda. They are in absolute survival mode and drunken with the acquisition of power.

    As we look at the history of the Leftist agenda through out the twentieth century we see the parallel out workings in this current administration and dominated Leftist House and Senate. The times and masses are ripe for the picking and the stage and settings are perfect for the coup. The never ending leftist Media’s daily bombardments against our Judean/Christian heritage and Constitutional ideals of our Founding Fathers for decades has soften up the ground and the bureaucratic infantry is ready to roll in and seize absolute power.

    How much more do we as Conservatives have to see until we as Americans finally comprehend that America and its great liberties and ideals are in its last days. As Rome of old, we are destroyed from with in. This statement is not meant to be that of “doom and groom” but to be an honest assessment of our nation’s current condition. All the Right can do is to slowly retreat in our efforts and try to hold and maintain the US heritage that we once possessed. Soon there will be no place to go or hide


    The Bible, God’s Holy Word, has stated repeatedly that in the Last days, a despotic global tyrant - a Secular Fascist - will arise and will absolutely reign over the world with great power and authority (Dan. 7:8, 17-26, 9:26, 11:36-45, Luke 4:6, 2 Thess. 2:3-9, Rev. 13, 17:8,11-17).

    In a Satanic and demonic rage, this man will make war with the saints of Almighty God and the Lamb- who is King of Kings and Lord of Lord (Dan. 7:21, Rev. 11:7, 13: 7, 17: 12,14 ). He will have the authority and be able to prevail over them for a short time until his absolute defeat and destruction at the Battle of Armageddon (Dan. 7:26, 11:45, 2 Thess. 2:2-8, Rev 19:20). There will be an absolute global war and purge on an unprecedented global level to cleanse and eradicate all those that know Almighty God and the Lamb (The Lord Jesus Christ) as Lord and Savior, from the face of the earth. In Lucifer’s (Satan’s) last attempt to over throw Almighty God and His Eternal sovereignty in a vain attempt for self preservation of all his desires and vain ambitions, he will come to his demise.

    My friend, God’s Word has given us a clear cut picture on how events would be in the last days. Nothing can stop these events from coming to be. Today, American’s live in the mind set and mentality that “it can never happen to us’. That my friend is our Achilles heel! America will eventually succumb to the unbridled passions of men and the tyranny that our Founders feared. Our good intentions and vain optimistic hope will be our undoing.

    The American ideal has hit an iceberg and is taking in water fast. It is just a matter of time till we go down to the depths and are removed out of the way for The Day of the Lord- the Great Tribulation (Matt 24). -SEE CHART-

    In these very turbulent and changing times may Almighty God bring you His hope and comfort till He comes. If you know not The Lord Jesus as your personal Savior, may that be your sincere desire.

    The Kingdom of Heaven truly is at hand!

    True Tyranny in Light of the Tea Parties



    Wednesday, April 15, 2009

    True Tyranny in Light of the Tea Parties

    In the days leading up to the American Revolution, the Boston Tea Party was a direct action protest against the British government by British-American subjects in the Massachusetts Bay colony of Boston. On December 16, 1773, after officials in Boston refused to return three shiploads of taxed tea to Britain, a group of colonists dressed up as Native American Indians boarded these ships and destroyed the tea by throwing it into Boston Harbor. This event remains one of the most memorialized historic events to transpire in U.S. history, and it has been recently referenced due to excessive U.S. government growth and its outrageous spending.

    Today we have seen an exponential growth of Government and Taxation unprecedented in any other time in our 400-year history. Today, Big Government is reaching into every facet of our life, and no one or no thing is safe from the brand and bondage. As our God given freedoms and moral rights are being aggressively removed by this constitutionally apostate President and Congress, we Americans find ourselves facing a new kind of Governmental tyranny and bondage from which we likely will never be liberated. We must do all we can, of course, but our hope and expectation must derive from Almighty God. In Him alone is there true deliverance in light of the oncoming tyranny at hand.

    A Far Greater Tyranny

    The Lord Jesus talked of a far greater tyranny to man than Big Government, excessive taxation, burdensome mandates and ceaseless intrusions into the lives of its citizens.


    Man’s fallen godless nature and the bondage of sin and death.

    Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant[slave] of sin. (John 8:34)

    Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned - For if by one man's offence death reigned by one - That as sin hath reigned unto death (Rom. 5:12, 17a, 21a)

    O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? (Rom. 7:24)

    (Job 14:1-4, Psalm 51:5, Eph 2:1-3, Rom. 3:23, 5:12, 17a, 21, 7:14-25) - Other verses

    Satan and his oppressive rule over the sons of men.

    And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me. Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage (Heb. 2: 13-15).

    How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him (Acts 10:38).

    And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others (Eph. 2:1-3).

    [In light of Lucifer i.e, Satan] That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners? (Is. 14:17)

    (1Cor. 4:4, Luke 4:6-7, Rev.12,13) - Other verses

    Only in Christ is there great freedom and deliverance from the bondage of Satan and our human depravity, and the terrible consequences of the outworking of sin (John 8:32, 36, Rom. 7:24-25; Heb 2:14-16). Humanity has never and will never be able to govern itself, not in this fallen world. Tyranny and the unbridled passions of man will always win the day. 6000 years of human history has testified to that fact. Our Founding Fathers realized that truth, and that only a moral and God-fearing people would ever have a chance of outworking the kind of human government that could check the depraved appetites of fallen humanity while preserving the basic liberties and freedoms endowed by their Creator. We as a nation today have discarded a sense of healthy morals and ethical guidelines, and are sadly reaping the tyrannical social consequences. Oppressive tyranny is not too far off here in America. When this tyranny and its fearful ramifications fully manifest themselves, what then?

    Ask yourself this very simple question. How can an imperfect humanity who lives in an imperfect world bring about an absolutely perfect “Utopian” society? (see Romans 7:24) The answer is a no-brainer yet extremely hard for humanity to digest: it never can. The only hope and deliverance for humanity today is found in its wonderful Creator and Redeemer, The Lord Jesus Christ.

    Do you know Jesus as your Lord and Savior today? Only He can deliver you from the oppressive tyranny of Satan and the World System. He is the only deliverer from our bondage to Sin and all its awful consequences (Rom. 6:23). He has come to set at liberty the sons of men (Rom. 4:17,18, 6:14,17-18, 22, 7: 24-25, 8:2,21, Gal. 5:1, Eph 4:8). May it be your sincere desire to put your trust in Him today!

    And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free (John 8:32).

    If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed (John 8:36).

    The Kingdom of Heaven is truly at hand!

    The Resurrection Reality - He’s Alive!



    Saturday, April 11, 2009

    The Resurrection Reality - He’s Alive!

    This Easter many will go through the robotic motions of celebrating Easter without any possession of the reality of the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. They will gather with love ones, family and friends, color Easter eggs, have Easter egg hunts, eat baked ham and fine deserts, watch a sports event and will even attend church for the first time since Christmas. All in a never ending cycle of tradition and hypocrisy. Oh my friend, what is truly needed this Easter is a dose of the heavenly reality of Christ’s triumphant resurrection from the dead (John 4:24).

    The resurrection of Christ from the dead is the center piece of all time and eternity. All depended on His resurrection and utter defeat of the tyranny of Death. All they who have put their trust in Jesus Christ as the Holy Scriptures teach shall never be let down (2 Cor. 1:9, 10).

    When the King of fears (Death) is defeated (Col. 2:12-15, Rev 20:14), Oh what joy to the trusting heart! My friend, the Easter Bunny in all his "glory" could never accomplish that.

    O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ (1 Cor. 15:55-57).

    Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? (John 11:25, 26)

    Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead (1 Peter 1:3).

    Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him: Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord (Romans 6:8-11).

    Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification (Romans 4:25).

    This Easter, do you truly know the Resurrected Lord - Jesus Christ - as your personal Savior? He alone is the only deliver from the penalty of sin and tyranny of death. Oh to comprehend the reality of the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead! It will change your life and you will never be the same!

    Jesus stated; Fear not; I am the first and last: I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death (Rev. 1:1718).

    This Easter as you sit around your dinner table with love ones and friends, may you examine your hearts and minds to be sure that you are truly trusting in the saving grace of Almighty God and His Precious Son as the Holy Scriptures teach (Eph. 2:8-9, 1 Peter 1:18-23). May you truly be able to say with all your heart that I know Him and the Power of His resurrection (Phil. 3:10a).

    The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

    Babelology - Ideologies and Their Origins



    Babelology - Ideologies and Their Origins

    Babelology is the delusional, godless ideology and philosophy (religious or political) that is outworked and practiced here in time by unregenerate (i.e., Fallen) man (see Romans 7:15-24; 8:5-8). This vain ideology seeks to exclude the reality of Almighty God - His Word, His Attributes, His Absolutes, His Natural Laws, His Righteousness, His Salvation, His Judgment and His Sovereignty as Creator - from one’s thoughts and actions. It is manifested in a life led by self-will, ruled and dominated by man's fallen nature marred by sin (Romans 5:12,19; 8:5-8; Gal. 5:16-17) and a deceived heart (Jer. 17:9). Unbelief (godlessness) is one of its main fruits (Matt 15:16-20; Gal 5:19-21; 6:7-8). During the whole time of earth’s history (which Biblically is approximately 6000 years), Babelology has expressed itself through human defiance and unbelief (see Romans 1:18-22).

    Babelology may be found in many different religious and political manners and forms (Left/ Right, Subjective/ Objective, Absolute/ Relative, etc.), and purports that man can exist in time and eternity without a vital relationship to the Eternal Creator and Sustainer established in truth and righteousness (Rom. 1:23-32). It is an existence that functions in darkness - not in light, in error - not in truth, in unrighteousness - not in righteousness, and in godlessness - not in godliness. The end result of this delusion is the absolute damnation and eternal ruin of its practitioner in Almighty God’s eternal prison for rebellious (lost) men and angels: Hell, or the Lake of Fire (Ecclesiastes 12:13-14; 1 Cor. 15:50; Rev 20:11-15; 21:8,27; 22:11).

    Babel to Present - (See Chart)

    Ever since the Tower of Babel rebellion about 4,200 years ago (Gen 11:1-9), the vast majority of mankind has been governed and ruled by this godless political and religious system. This idolatrous ideology has indeed developed and deepened throughout the world system for ~ 4,200 years. Civilizations and cultures, ideologies and philosophies, religions and societies, cities and nations, morals and traditions have all sprung forth from this event. God in His judgment scattered the people (Gen 11:8-10; Deut. 32:7-8) to the “four corners” of the earth. It is these God-rejecting rebellious seeds - planted by the founders of Babel - that now dominates the world. The great hope and aim of this godless ideology is to achieve a global Utopia in which man's fallen nature and the fallen creation will be in harmony with one another. This Godless philosophy and hope is absolutely doomed to dismal failure (Rom. 8:20-22, 1 Cor. 1:18-31).
    “One must look outside the box of this world system and believe Almighty God and His Word! Then and only then can one find the answers of life, and see the reality of what life and existence in time and eternity is all about.” (see 1 Kings 8:60; Isaiah 45:21-24; John 14:6)

    Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth (John 17:17).

    For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven (Psalm 119:89).

    Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever (Psalm 119:160).

    The Bible states that Man must be rescued from his fallen humanity (i.e., lost condition). This is achieved when one puts their trust and faith in the Savior of the world, Jesus Christ (Romans 7:24, Acts 16:30-31). In Christ is found all the provision for the sinful soul (1 Cor. 1:30).

    Almighty God will one day remove this fallen world (1 Peter 2:7-13; 1 John 2:15-17) and create a new Heavens and a new Earth (Isaiah 65:17; Rev.21:1). Then, and only then, will all things be redeemed and in harmony with Almighty God, the Creator of all (1 Cor. 15:26-28; Rev. 21; 22:1-5).

    In these last days come out of the godless ideologies of the day - religious and political - and put your sole trust in the God of Truth and Reality (2 Cor. 6:17-18)! Your hope will be sure and you will never be the same!

    DO YOU KNOW THE CHRIST OF THE HOLY SCRIPTURES ? – PART 2



    Wednesday, April 8, 2009

    DO YOU KNOW THE CHRIST OF THE HOLY SCRIPTURES ? – PART 2

    In the last blog post we looked at how important it is to really know the Christ of the Holy Scriptures.

    To some this might sound like a silly question, but it truly isn’t. Jesus is not a “relative thought,” or some figure based on any religious or personal philosophy. He is who He is and God’s Word, the Bible, reveals to us exactly who He is.

    In Jesus’ day, many were confused about who Jesus Christ was. Jesus asked his disciples, "Whom do men say that I the Son of Man am?" And they said, Some say that Thou art John the Baptist: some Elias [Elijah]; and others, Jeremias [Jeremiah], or one of the prophets. He saith unto them, but whom say ye that I am? (Matthew 16:13-15)

    Who do you say that Jesus is? Do your thoughts, upbringing, religious background, or personal beliefs about Jesus line up with God’s Christ of the HOLY SCRIPTURES? You might ask, “Well, does it make a difference? My friend, again I say unto you, it surely does!

    You see, even in Jesus’ day, there were many who were confused and troubled about who was God’s Messiah to the world. When Jesus entered into Jerusalem on the Sunday before the Great Passover feast (Palm Sunday), multitudes upon multitudes welcomed Him (Matt. 21:9), but after three days the same multitudes cried, “Let him be crucified!” (Matt 27:11-26, Luke 23:18-24). How could this be? It was because the multitudes had their own perception and personal view of who Jesus was, one that was not rooted in reality or truth. When His True Person and work was made known to them, they had absolutely no use for Him. They rejected the reality of His claims (John 3:16-21) and cried out for his death. Their response was quite an extreme action - one would think - but that is how offended in Him they were. Their offense - because of their offence - went from an extreme emotion of hate to the violent act of murder (Acts 2:22-23). These multitudes wanted a savior for their own narcissistic lives, not a Savior for their sinful condition. They had totally misunderstood and rejected Almighty God’s Savior who was (and is) The King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

    The Lord Jesus made this tearful, heart-wrenching statement: “And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it, Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes, For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side, And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.” (Luke 19:41-44)

    You see, these multitudes had a multitude of opinions and views of Jesus, but when they were confronted with the reality of Jesus’ Person - The Christ of the Holy Scriptures - they outright rejected Him, crucified and murdered Him. They had settled for their own depraved solutions and their own saviors for their sinful and lost condition.

    In the end, their solutions could never deliver or bring any solution at all. They were doomed by their own decree. (Matthew 21:1-11; 27:15-26)

    Many dear, professing “Christians” today, who are surely sincere in their Christian traditions and seemingly secure in their own beliefs, have another (different) Christ and thus reject the Christ of the Holy Scriptures for their “own” Jesus (Matt 15:8).

    TAKE THE JESUS CHALLENGE

    The Bible is the final AUTHORITY on who Jesus Christ is. It is God’s absolute instruction manual and blueprint for life. If you reject the authority of the Word of God, my friend, you are doomed. There is no hope for your lost, sinful condition. The Bible teaches that “All have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). All! You need to know the True Savior, not a make-believe one. It’s that serious. Don’t let your deceitful heart and pride ruin you and keep you from God’s redemption found in Jesus Christ.

    Jesus said, "Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life; and they are they which testify [speak] of me" (John 5:39).

    The purpose of this Bible study is to bring a person through God’s simple plan of salvation using only the Gospel of John. When a Gospel of John is handed out to a person, it is a good idea to give the person this study along with it. The study was written in such a way (question/ answer format) that the person can see for themselves what the Bible really says about who Jesus Christ is, what He has done for us, and the necessity of putting our faith in Him.

    For the person doing this study, please answer the following questions by looking up the Bible verses which are given, all of which can be found in the Gospel of John.


    Link – Take the Jesus Challenge and to the Gospel of St. John Bible study.



    If you have participated in this challenge, what was your conclusion about who Jesus Christ is?

    Have you ever studied and read The Holy Scriptures in this light before? Have you ever read of the Person of Jesus Christ and God's true plan of SALVATION set out in God’s Holy Scripture in this manner? Was the way in which you had always perceived, understood and pictured Jesus different from the way the Holy Scriptures reveal Him?

    If you have come to this conclusion, then it is our sincerest desire that you humbly bow and receive God's True Savior, The Lord Jesus Christ into your heart. Remember God ONLY goes by His Word and has provided fallen man His own Savior and Christ for our eternal salvation. Remember, God does not go by our own views and good intentions of who we think Christ is, but by His own, which is in reality and truth.

    God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth (John 4:24).

    The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

    The World And It's Media War Against Israel



    The World And It's Media War Against Israel

    There has been an ongoing effort in the liberal, secular Mainstream Media here in the United States and in the Global Media abroad to demonize Israel at every opportunity. As I was following the many different news outlets especially during the recent Gaza War, I was astounded over the anti-Israeli bias. This Bias was so blatantly obvious that even a fan of MSNBC couldn’t miss it. The Mainstream Media was hell-bent on slamming Israel on all fronts of the war in Gaza, and Hamas knows this.

    The Hamas leadership is brilliant when it comes to fighting a PR (Public Relations) war. All events and casualties are carefully scripted and choreographed for maximum effect. They purposely place women and children in key locations, knowing that they will be destroyed. These are leaders of a cultural ideology of violence and death. Hamas and the Arab world know they cannot beat Israel militarily. That fact has been proven several times since 1948. The only way to cause damage is to slander them by way of today’s media outlets. They have succeeded with the 24/7 cable TV news outlets, newspapers, magazines and the internet to endlessly bombard the world’s daily followers with their anti-Israel propaganda. Their objective is to continually sway public opinion in their favor and to grant legitimacy to their hatred and plans for the annihilation of Israel.

    The Palestinians have been the pawns of the Arab world since 1948. They have been basically abandoned by the Arab world and mainly used as a thorn in Israel’s side for promoting the destruction of that nation. There is boundless proof to that statement.

    It always seems to be the leftist, secular, liberal mindset that is quick to blame Israel for all the woes in the Middle East. This is not just a blanket statement. It is plainly obvious to anyone who pays attention. The United Nations, which is home to all the anti-Semitic nations of the world (including those that are Fascist, Communist, Secularist, Leftist/ Socialist and Marxist), has continually voted against Israel on almost every occasion. The sole exception has been the United States. Israel’s back is truly against the wall. America, with its Judean/ Christian roots, has always been a staunch supporter of Israel. However, have you noticed the continual anti-Israel positions taken by the radical left in this country? This is not just in the media but also in Washington D.C. As America moves ever more leftward, and the foundations of this once great nation deteriorate right before our eyes, how much longer will America support Israel? The answer is not much longer.

    Why the Bias?

    Without God’s Word and His Revelation, who would ever know? The Bible states:
    For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places (Eph.6:12). This is a key verse in understanding the present reality!

    Today there is a great war raging for the hearts, souls and minds of men and women everywhere. This great war takes place in the spiritual realm, and Israel is a key piece to the success of the god of this world (i.e., Satan, the Devil, Lucifer). He must eradicate Israel (Rev. 12). All the promises of Almighty God are centered around Israel for the well-being of the nations and planet earth. Satan knows that if he can destroy Israel, he will have discredited Almighty God and thus justified in his vain rebellion. All Israel’s promises must come to pass, as Almighty God has stated in His Word, and they most certainly will!

    Satan uses his God-given brilliance for one purpose and one purpose alone: a mad attempt to discredit his Creator and exalt himself above Him. Satan's Minions (demons) abound everywhere in the world today. Satan exerts diabolical control over the American Mainstream Media, the global media, leaders of world nations, The United Nations, etc (Luke 4:5,6). These individuals and organizations unknowingly do his will. He knows how to maneuver and appeal to their carnal (fleshly) fallen nature, which is governed by the five physical senses (sight, smell, taste, touch and hearing). The godless, secular liberal mindset is the most open to Satan's suggestions and the world media, leadership and peoples fit this category. Lucifer’s Godless, trend-setting agenda - which includes the destruction of Israel - is outworked in the physical realm. This evil agenda is accomplished by demonic activity throughout humankind, who are blinded in their unbelief and ignorance of Almighty God and His Word (2 Cor. 4:4, Eph. 2:1-3). These humans do his (Satan’s) will quite readily because they are the most susceptible to it.

    In these prophetic last days before the Lord Jesus Christ’s return to earth to establish His glorious Kingdom with His throne located in Jerusalem (Psalm 48, Zech. 14:16), Israel, expect the Israel-bashing from an unbelieving, godless world to intensify until the commencement of the Battle of Armageddon (Rev. 16:13-16). Israel is a sign to the world that Almighty God and His Word are absolutely true and sure. In these days of great confusion and uncertainty, God is absolutely trustworthy! My friends, the world will soon say, “Israel must be destroyed!” Then will all nations go against Israel and Christ will appear in the Heavens, coming in great power and glory to destroy Israel’s enemies! (Matt 24:29-30, Rev. 1:7, 19:11-21).

    May it be your sincere desire today to know the King of the Israel - The King of kings and Savior of the world, The Lord Jesus Christ.

    The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

    DO YOU KNOW THE CHRIST OF THE HOLY SCRIPTURES? - Part 1



    DO YOU KNOW THE CHRIST OF THE HOLY SCRIPTURES? - Part 1

    "That He (Jesus) died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures." (1 Corinthians 15:3- 4)

    "And Jesus said, Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.” (John 5:39)

    "Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory? And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.” (Luke 24:25-27)

    WHO DO YOU SAY THAT I AM?

    Today more than ever, people have a hazy and fuzzy (distorted) view of who the Savior of the World, God’s Son Jesus Christ, really is. Various opinions regarding Jesus may have been formed from a religious upbringing or education, personal experiences, etc. Whenever you ask someone who Jesus is, it will usually sound a lot like the person describing Him to you. They say, “He was a great teacher,” or “He was a Good Man,” or “He died on the cross,” etc.

    The big question at hand is this, “Who really was Jesus?” Is it important to know God’s Christ - the Christ of Holy Scripture - and His teachings of salvation for humanity? My friend, the answer to this literal life and death question is: it surely is. It is a matter of Eternal Life or Eternal Death!

    The Lord Jesus Christ and The Holy Scriptures give many warnings of False Christs and false teachings that would come into the world to deceive and mislead people. What purpose would such deceptions serve, you might ask? To keep people from obtaining God’s Eternal Life and Pardon of Sin! (See Matthew 7:15-17; 24:4-5, 23, 24; Mark 13:5-6, 22; Luke 21:8; 1 Tim 4:1-2, 16; 2 Tim 3:12-13; 1 John 2:22-23; 4:1; 2 John 7).

    Jesus himself stated:“Not every one that saith unto me Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many shall come to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Thy name? And in Thy name cast out devils? and in Thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I NEVER KNEW YOU; DEPART FROM ME YE THAT WORK INIQUITY." (Matthew 7:21-23)

    A poem written by Jeff O’Hara gives an examination of the professing individual with a very sobering conclusion.

    Why Call Me Lord, Lord and Do Not the Things I Say?
    You call Me the Way, and Walk Me not!
    You call Me the Life, and Live Me not!
    You call Me Master, and Obey Me not!
    You call Me Bread, and Eat Me not!
    You call Me Truth, and Believe Me not!
    You call Me Lord, and Serve Me not!
    If I Condemn You, Blame Me not!

    This is quite a sobering thought, isn’t it? Jesus informs that there are many who called Him Lord who never were rightly related to Him in truth according to WHO HE IS. How can this be? Let’s take a look at what the Holy Scriptures say:

    God’s Christ/ Messiah Fulfilled all of God’s Word and Promises and Claimed to be the Center of the Scriptures.

    God’s Christ/ Messiah is the Only True Savior of the World.

    God’s Christ/ Messiah is Almighty God.

    God’s Christ/ Messiah is Perfect Man.

    God’s Christ/ Messiah Died, Was buried, and Rose Again on the Third Day According to the Scriptures.
    (1 Cor. 15:3-4, 20; Matt. 28:6-7; Mark 16:6; Luke 24:6-7; John 2:19; Acts 1:3; 2:22-24, 30-36; 4:2, 10; Rom. 1:4; 8:11; 1 Thess. 1:10, 1 Peter 1:3; Rev. 1:17-18)

    GOD’S PLAN OF SALVATION FOR MAN

    Who is good? As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one. (Romans 3:10)

    Who has sinned? For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. (Romans 3:23)

    Salvation is Not By Our Works! For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. (Eph. 2:8-9)

    Where Did Sin Come From? Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin, and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned. (Romans 5:12)

    What is the Price of Sin? For the wages of sin is death… (Romans 6:23a)

    Who Paid The Price? But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8)

    There Is Only One Way Out! That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. (Romans 10:9-10)

    For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. (Romans 10:13)

    Question #1: Does the “Jesus” in whom you are putting your trust line up with the reality and truth of The Lord Jesus of the Holy Scriptures? That is a very sobering question indeed; a question which many are too afraid to deal with. Jesus stated, "God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth." (John 4:24)

    Question #2: Do you know the Lord Jesus Christ of the Scriptures? May it be your sincere desire to look into this matter with a contrite (broken) and humble heart in light of the most serious (eternal life and death) consequences to be faced. (1 John 5:12)

    In Part 2 of this study we will see why it is absolutely crucial (or vital) that a man or woman has a saving relationship to the Christ / Messiah of the Holy Scriptures.

    The Kingdom of heaven is at hand!
