That is what so many of us have heard taught and looked for to speculate and identify who "he" is.</span><br /><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">Surprisingly, the scripture actually tells us already that many "antichrists" need to be considered, since the man who first used the word "<b><i>antichrist</i></b>" wrote that antichrist would come, and was "<b><i>even now</i></b>" in the midst of the church.</span><br /><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">So if there are "many antichrists" which one is THE antichrist?</span><br /><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;"><u>Here is every verse using the word</u>.</span><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">1John 2:18 Little children, it is the last hour: and as you heard that antichrist comes, even now have there arisen many <i>antichrists</i>; whereby we know that it is the last hour.</span><br /><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">1John 2:22 Who is the liar but he that denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is <i>the antichrist,</i> even he that denies the Father and the Son.</span><br /><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">1st John 4:3 and every spirit that confesses not Jesus is not of God: and this is the spirit of the <i>antichrist</i>, whereof ye have heard that it cometh; and now it is in the world already.</span><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">2John 1:7 For many deceivers are gone forth into the world, even they that confess not that Jesus Christ comes in the flesh.</span></p><p><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">Well look here.. WHO is...?<br /><b><i>This</i></b> <the many> <b><i>is the deceiver and the antichrist</i></b>.
</span>Who?<br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">1John 2:26 These things have I written to you concerning <b><i>them</i></b></span><span class="x1xsqp64 xiy17q3 x1o6pynw x19co3pv xdj266r xcwd3tp xat24cr x39eecv x2b8uid" data-testid="emoji" style="background-image: url("https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/t29/1.5/16/1f448.png"); background-size: 16px 16px; cursor: default; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span class="xexx8yu xn5pp95 x18d9i69 x2fxd7x x1yqt14a x1bhl96m">๐</span></span><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;"> <b><i>that would lead you astray</i></b>.</span><br /><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">Oh my, the " <i><b>many deceivers</b></i>" are "<i><b>them" who "lead you astray" </b></i>?
</span><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">If you saw the "<b><i><a href="https://preparinghisway.blogspot.com/2014/01/not-even-one-verse.html" target="_blank">not in scripture</a></i></b>" list on our site, you begin to get an idea of how much leaven there is in Christianity...</span><br /><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;"><b>SIX</b> IDENTIFYING "antichrist" CLUES ARE FOUND:</span><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">1. "These have I written to you concerning them that would lead you astray.</span><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">2. "many false prophets", "he that is in the world"</span><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">3. "come in the flesh". </span><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">4. "Confess not" which means to not speak the same as that Jesus, <the Jesus as they preached in ACTS. Rather "they" come to you preaching out of the flesh.</span><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">5. They have the "spirit of error"</span><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">6. and does it get any plainer than John 2:22?</span><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">1 John 2:22 (NLT) And who is a liar? Anyone who says that Jesus is not the Christ. </span><br /><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">Anyone who denies the Father and the Son is an antichrist. (anyone is a plural company)</span><br /><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">1 John 2:22 (NKJV) Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ?</span><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son,</span><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">Let me say it as:</span><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">Who is "THAT Jesus Christ"? It is not "the Apostle's Creed" or a "What We Believe" list, etc.</span><br /><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">These are fleshly explanations and definitions and they are words not found in the scriptures themselves. </span><br /><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">Anything added to or diminished from God's Word is "leaven".</span><br /><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;"><b>To "confess" is to speak the same as</b>:</span><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">In the Gree word for "confess", "homo-logeo", i.e. "confess" Christ, means to speak the same as, agree, declare the Christ of scripture and not make doctrine from their own formula or explanation. </span></p><p><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">-the "trinity" being a good example of a term not "homo logeo" in scripture. There are many such terms in the church system on a wide range of precepts.</span><br /><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;"><b>To DENY IS</b>:</span><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;"><i>to speak against, disavows, or speak contrary to the Word itself.</i></span><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">You can hear comments like "What Jesus really meant was...", or "<i>that was for them back there. Times have changed</i>", or "<i>that's the way we do it around here</i>", and many other justifications for not accepting what the Word says.</span><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">..............................</span><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">Therefore we have the "MANY deceivers" among us, in our midst, who do not speak the same as the Word and pervert the gospel, who are the "many" Jesus, Peter, and Paul spoke of, who are "antichrist".</span><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">Some are merely repeating what they are taught by others. </span><br /><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">Usually in this day of prominent professional ministries with large followings, people "feed" on the ideas and teachings without seriously testing them or praying about whether something is correct or not.
</span>I think we have all done this in our journey.<br />-<span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">And so the scriptures are fulfilled regarding "many deceivers", "deceiving and being deceived", "<i>many shall follow their pernicious ways and be "made merchandise of</i>". 1 Peter 5 is of note.</span><br /><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">Thus are the wolves, deceivers, fake shepherds, hierlings, and false prophets among those who are Christian, and are mostly hidden in the body as Christ.
- just as Judas, the first Son of Perdition was also hidden in the midst of the body of Christ among the twelve apostles..</span><br /><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">And because they are not yet revealed, they may preach, do signs and miracles, and proclaim Jesus Christ, but they are as Judas who did those very same works, </span><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">but was the antichrist hidden in the body of Christ, among the twelve apostles.</span><br /><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">As John wrote:</span><br /><b><i><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">"many deceivers have gone out into the world", and "These things have I written unto you concerning them that would lead you astray"</span><br /></i></b><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">Matthew 24:5 <i>For *many* shall come in my name, saying, I am the Christ;</i></span><i><br /></i><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;"><i>and shall lead *many* astray</i>. </span><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">-<b>and so the deceivers also "confess Christ", not that they claim to BE Christ</b>.</span><br /><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>How else would they be hidden?</b></span></span><br /><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">Matthew 24:11 And many false prophets shall arise, and shall lead many astray.</span><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">Luke 21:8 And he said, Take heed that ye be not led astray: for many shall come....</span><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">*the "many", whose "end is perdition", is the corporate body of antichrist, the โson of perditionโ.</span><br /><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">Jeremiah 12:10 </span><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;"><b><i>Many pastors have destroyed My vineyard, they have trodden My portion under foot, they have made My pleasant portion a desolate wilderness.</i></b></span><br /><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">For <b><i>many deceivers are gone forth into the world</i></b>, even they that confess not *that* Jesus Christ ...............cometh in the flesh.</span><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">(they that speak not the same as that Jesus Christ)</span><br /><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">THIS IS the deceiver and the antichrist: <b>Who?</b> He said the "<i>many</i>". </span><br /><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">"<i><b>THIS is THE antichrist</b></i>", a body, i.e. a great company of deceivers, just as also the "great harlot", the body of Christ, the bride of Christ, and Israel all are corporate bodies of a multitude of people...</span><br /><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">What some believe, erroneously creating from the "constructs" in the Babylonish church system, which </span><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;"><b>include cherry-picked phrases like "man of sin", "son of perdition", "the Assyrian", the "willful king", "he who sits in the temple of God showing himself that he is God", or "abomination of desolation". </b></span><br /><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">While some of those may have some relevance to being "anti" Jesus Christ, they are mis-applied to the point of common acceptance without better examination <b>and applied to a mythical one man in a building in modern Israel</b>.</span><br /><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">Each one of those can and should be examined without the bias of mis-applying them as "The AntiChrist".</span><br /><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">In other related posts, I will deal with what "constructs" are, and we are all familiar with many of them. Most are error and lead away from truth.</span><br /><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">A Fake, and just what "the temple of God" is, according to the New Testament scriptures, and very anti-Christ Fake Israel in the Middle East, who are God's chosen people. </span><br /><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">As we purge out the leaven together, God bless.โ</span></p>Roryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16810813012270439254noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9122974069955230279.post-76985672888724700092024-01-13T06:00:00.000-08:002024-02-02T09:43:04.874-08:001God The LORD said to my Lord<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

Because "<b><i>THE LORD</i></b>" in the original Psalm <b>is GOD, (</b> YHVH, aka <i>LORD, aka JeHoVaH aka YaHWeH).<br /></i>We now see who the GOD and Father of our "Lord" Jesus is, and this is consistent with other Old Testament quotes in the NEW
Testament.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #1c1e21; font-size: 14pt;"><br />
Hebrews 8:8 For finding fault with them, he said, Behold, the days come, <b><i>says

Israel..<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #1c1e21; font-size: 14pt;"><br />This verse people often confuse in ascribing Jesus the Lord, as "God

<span style="color: #1c1e21; font-size: 14pt;">Revelation 1:8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #1c1e21; font-size: 14pt;"><br />But John was not confused when he SAW in Revelation 4:</span><span style="color: #1c1e21; font-size: 14pt;">2<br /> Immediately I was in the Spirit; and behold, a throne set in heaven,

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #1c1e21; font-size: 14pt;">Back to Acts and Peter preaching Jesus:<br /><b>The Lord</b> <LORD/YHVH>, made <b>him</b> (Jesus), both <i><b>Lord (kurios) and Christ</b></i>.

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">:26 Agrippa said to Paul, โYou are permitted to speak for
yourself.โ ...I consider myself fortunate, King Agrippa, that I am about to
make my defense before you today; 3 especially because you are an expert in all
customs and questions among the Jews; therefore I beg you to listen to me
patiently. and for this hope, O King, I am being accused by Jews.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"> 13 at midday, O King, I saw on the way a light from heaven,
brighter than the sun, shining all around me and those who were journeying with
me. 14 And when we had all fallen to the ground, I heard a voice saying to me
in the Hebrew dialect, โ<b><i><span style="background: yellow;">Saul, Saul, why
are you persecuting Me</span></i></b>? <o:p></o:p></span></div>

The salvation message they preached in ACTS was: Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God and they said he was a "man" in three places. Acts 2:22, Acts 13:4-5, Acts 17:31

is not born. The Father is eternal</i></b>.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><i>to us a son is "GIVEN</i>"</b>: (prophecy)|<br />- fulfillment<br />John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that <b><i>he
"GAVE" his only begotten Son</i></b>, that whosoever believeth in him
should not perish, but have everlasting life.</p><p class="MsoNormal">-<i> <b>the Father did not become his only begotten son. The

committed ALL JUDGMENT (government) unto the Son</i></b></p><p class="MsoNormal">- <i>the Father is governing through the Son! How is that? because the
Father GAVE him that rule</i>.</p><p class="MsoNormal">As we continue with this prophecy to fulfillment we MUST
understand that "NAME" in this prophecy (Isa 9:6) means reputation,
fame, and glory. Let's keep reading...</p><p class="MsoNormal">(Prophecy) and <b>his NAME (reputation, fame) </b>shall be called
Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of
Peace.</p><p class="MsoNormal">- Let's itemize each "NAME" called</p><p class="MsoNormal"><b>WONDERFUL</b>- wonder, marvel wonder (extraordinary, hard to
understand thing)<br />- fulfillment<br />Jesus is wonderful.<br />Matthew 21:15 KJV And when the chief priests and scribes saw
the WONDERFUL things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and
saying, Hosanna to the Son of David; they were sore displeased.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><b>COUNSELLOR</b>- to advise, consult, give counsel, counsel,
purpose, devise, plan<br />- fulfillment<br />John 4:25-26 KJV The woman said to him, I
know that Messiah comes, who is called Christ: when he is come, <b>he will TELL

thee <b><i>am he</i></b>.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><b>THE MIGHTY GOD</b>- strong, mighty (adjective) strong man, brave
man, mighty man (noun masculine) god, god-like one, mighty one mighty men, men
of rank, mighty heroes<br />- fulfillment<br />Hebrews 1:8-9 KJV But <b><i>to the Son he says, Thy throne,

righteousness, and hated iniquity; <b><i>therefore God, even thy God</i></b>,
has anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.</p><p class="MsoNormal">- Let's note that when God the Father referred to "the
son given", The LORD did so in the same manner that other MEN were called
gods. How so? Let's keep reading...<br />

the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also
that God was his Father, making himself EQUAL WITH GOD. For the Father judges
no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: That all men should honor
the Son, EVEN AS they honor the Father. He that honored not the Son honored not
the Father which hath sent him.</p><p class="MsoNormal">- We point out that <b>No N.T. scripture EVER has anyone calling Jesus

before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right
hand of the throne of God</p><p class="MsoNormal"> The <i>gods</i> of Psalm 82 are nothing more than men who, by
Godโs sovereign design, are chosen to rule over other men. In fact, the word
โElohim,โ used in verse six, is often translated โjudgesโ in the Old Testament.
An example of this can be found in Exodus 21:6 where it reads, โThen his master
shall bring him to the judges [Elohim] โฆโ </p><p class="MsoNormal">Another example is Exodus 22:8 which reads, โIf the thief is
not found, then the master of the house shall be brought to the judges โฆโ
Again, the Hebrew Elohim is used.</p><p class="MsoNormal">This is why Jesus is called Elohim/God because God has given
him authority to judge in...</p><p class="MsoNormal">John 5:23 Moreover, the Father judges no one, but has

David to rule over Israel.<br />

in Genesis. .... <br />and as God <b><i>SAID <i.e. spoke, expressed thought, the
action of saying</i></b>... <br />... โ<i>let there be</i>.." <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The phrase "<b><i>and GOD SAID</i></b>" is used 10
times in Genesis 1.<br />I considered the power and essence of God's utterance,
expressing with life and Spiritual power the words which brought forth the
physical creation.</p><p class="MsoNormal">Was that Jesus speaking with God or was that God Himself speaking?</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">4,000 years later Jesus said he spoke what he heard from God,<br />and that
"the WORDS that I speak, they are SPIRIT and they are LIFE". <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><b><i>God's Word thus
being life, Spirit, and a living word as it comes forth from Him</i></b>.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The word that He
spoke conceived Christ and lived in Christ. "<i>and <b>the word became flesh</b></i>.."<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">a. So now we look at 1Jn 1:1 <br /><span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">๐</span><b><i>That
which was from the beginning</i></b> (i.e. God's Word),<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>("<i>and the word became flesh</i>..") <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>which we have heard, which we have seen with
our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, the Word <b><i>of

The "<i>beginning</i>" of a new creation through Christ, the "last Adam", (1 Cor 15) is also a second "beginning", beginning with the ministry of Jesus Christ, a man, and..<br /><br />(2 For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and

They became โSouthernโ kingdom of Judah and Benjamin after a civil war.<br />The "northern" kingdom retained the name "Israel" after the civil war.<br />
They were the inhabitants, political and religious leaders "sitting in Moses seat", according to Jesus and who ruled Jerusalem under the authority of the Roman governors. (Herod, Pilate).<br />
at the time of Christ.<br /><br />

The โkingdomโ of Israel was declared โ</i></b><i>desolate</i>โ by Jesus,<br /> the Jews
nation ceased to exist.<br /><br />
The genealogy records proving the Jewish-Israel bloodlines were destroyed in
the temple conflagration in 70AD, effectively โblotting outโ the names of the
<i>physical</i> tribes. (however the spiritual tribes in Christ retain the spiritual identity through the meaning of the tribal names.)<br />
<br />
Jews <b>according to being children of Abraham: real vs fake</b>.<br />
When the names of the 12 <b>physical</b> tribes were โblotted outโ in the judgement in

After I was writing and researching for my article "Where Israel Began", I saw the truth.</span></p><p><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;"><br /></span></p><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">It happened as I was reading through Genesis, Exodus, and Deuteronomy especially, and there I saw in Godโs Word to Israel the <i>Covenant conditions</i> God gave to them to occupy the land.
The Lord brought to my attention and surprise after many years, I realized what God said about Israel and the land,<i><b> in their Bible</b></i>. i.e., the OLD Testament.</span><br /><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;"><b>IMPORTANT!!
You are about to read how God gave Israel the holy land and the CONDITIONS for occupation in His land:</b></span><br /><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">Leviticus 18: 26 You (Israel) shall therefore keep My statutes and My judgments, <i>and shall not commit any of these abominations</i>, neither any of your own nation nor any stranger who sojourns among you</span><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">27 (<i>for all these abominations have the men of the land done, who were before you</i>, and the land is defiled),</span><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">28 ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐,<span style="font-family: inherit;"> ๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐.
</span></span><br />The same verse as stated in the Complete Jewish Bible Version reads:<br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;"><i>that the land not vomit you out also when ye defile it</i>, as it spewed out the nations that were before you.</span><br /><br />Here is a synopsis of the Law Moses gave them that addresses the Holy Land occupation:<br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">Leviticus 20:22
โTherefore <i>you shall keep</i> <i><span style="color: red;">๐๐๐ ๐๐ฒ ๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ญ๐ฎ๐ญ๐๐ฌ and ๐๐๐ ๐๐ฒ ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐๐ ๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ญ๐ฌ</span>,

so then the LORD will be happy to ruin and destroy you</b>,
๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ .</span><div><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">I saw that for Israel to live in the land, God gave firm instructions and required ALL obedience.
In His first chastisement Israel and Judah were taken captive to Babylon for 70 years. They returned to the land according to Daniel's prophecy,
<b>the genealogy records were used to "prove" their rights and bloodlines</b> (in Ezra and Nehemiah), and there they occupied another 400+ years to the prophesied coming of Messiah, the Christ, and The Prophet of God. Isaiah 53, Deuteronomy 28.</span><br /><div><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">In 70AD that was literally fulfilled e</span><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">xcept for the Jewish remnant who believed and followed Jesus Christ, who fled before the destruction.
Before that, in </span><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">33AD the nation of Israel committed the abomination of desolation by rejecting the Son of God, Jesus Christ, even invoking a generational blood curse on themselves.</span><br /><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;"><b><i>Our loving Heavenly Father God still gave them about 42 months to repent </i></b></span><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;"><i style="font-weight: bold;">because Jesus asked Father to "forgive them for they know not what they do".
</i>Thus Peter confronted them with their rejection of Jesus of Nazareth in Acts 2,3,4,5 and Stephen in Acts 7-8.</span></div><div><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">
However the leaders and majority still rejected Christ and went on to persecute and shed the blood of His disciples. Acts 7 saw the completion of the grace toward the nation as a whole, save the smaller number of individual Jews and Israelites who repented.</span><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">See Acts 3:5, Acts 4, Acts 5, and the persecution that rose up around Stephen in Acts 7-8.</span><div><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;"><br /></span><div><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">By the numbers again.
"7" is "completion" and Stephen's testimony to the High Priest and leaders of Israel, sealed with his blood, finished the condemnation of the nation-kingdom of Israel.</span></div><div><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">
"8" symbolizes "a new beginning", and in Acts 8 the gospel was taken to mixed-blood Samaria, and a people held in contempt by the Jews. This was followed by chapter *9*, nine symbolizing "finality of judgement", the conversion of Saul, and lo and behold, the gospel goes to the gentiles in Acts 10 with Peter.</span></div><div><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">Jesus had prophesied Jerusalem's terrible destruction in Matthew 24, Luke 21, Mark 13.
The fulfillment came on the same exact date as it had 400+ years before by the Babylonians, the second time by Rome, and Rome went beyond what Babylon had done, with an utter desolation of the city, the temple, the priesthood of Levites, the nation, the Christ-rejecting majority, the gemellology records, and the nation itself.
*<b><i>Jerusalem was destroyed TWICE on the *9th* of Av on the Jewish calendar</i></b>. </span></div><div><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;"><b><i>Is it any wonder that they filled the cup of God's wrath?</i></b></span></div><div><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">He sent the armies of Rome and utterly destroyed the temple, the city, the nation, the genealogy records, the calendar, the priesthood of Levites after 70AD in a cataclysmic, horrific "<b><i>day of Vengeance</i></b>".
</span>The Roman army encircled Jerusalem in a 3 year long siege trapping hundreds of thousand Jewish pilgrims who went there to keep the Passover Feast. <br />When the city fell, Jewish blood literally ran down the streets as they slaughtered men, women, and children in a frenzied vengeance. The fall of Jerusalem is chronicled in the writings of Josephus, "<i>Wars of the Jews</i>".</div><div><br /></div><div>The exception to the slaughter were the Jewish saints, Christians that heeded the words and prophecy of Christ, "<i><b>when YOU SEE Jerusalem compassed by armies, know that its' desolation is nea</b>r"</i>.<br /><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">With all the above, I see no reason for a God-ordained mixed-blood nation in the land of Israel.
<b>ALL of us</b>: Jews and non-Jews, false Jews, mixed blood, are all condemned under sin, <b>and all need Jesus Christ</b>. There is no separate salvation or valid Covenant apart from Christ.
It is noted that Jesus' prophecy over Jerusalem said nothing about another Jewish nation coming back, not did Paul in his writings.</span></div><div><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;"><b>It appears we have been very deceived by dispensationalism prophecy about a literal return to the land that were already fulfilled after a return from Babylon in 564-600 BC..</b></span><br /><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">Therefore I cannot take sides or support the Israeli genocide in Gaza nor the Israeli MOSSAD-created Hamas and their atrocities. Satan is a murderer and destroyer while waving the designated flags of those he operates through.</span><br /><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">Now as a WORLDLY nation, Israel, with a special calling and history with God, and the patriarchs, they have a cover story that appears to make them legit. But upon examination through the lens of the Old Testament, and the NEW Testament, I cannot give them legitimacy.</span><br /><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">Modern Israel is no different than the gentile nations, their fellow Semites, and are doing the same things other nations do to oppress, lie, and wage war. If they knew their Bible, they would repent and be converted to Jesus Christ their prophesied Messiah.
</span></div><div><b><i>See Deuteronomy 18:18-19, Isaiah 53, Malachi 3:1</i></b><br /><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">ONLY the return of Jesus will restore all, restore the kingdom, and be ruled by <b><i>Christ's body which is BOTH Jew and non-Jew</i></b>. -according to many scriptures. Because of the utter destruction and dispersion in 70AD, much prophecy was fulfilled, and yes, Jesus IS returning. </span></div></div></div></div><div><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">There is no more Jewish calendar from Exodus, given to the New Testament saints to observe, hence <i><b>"NO MAN KNOWS THE DAY NOR HOUR"</b></i> of His return.</span></div><div><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">
Because of what events are taking shape around us, I am of the opinion we are in the season of His return. The Powers that Be are bent on destroying humanity and earth itself, my prayer is for Jesus to return to rule and reign.</span></div><div><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">For those that still think a pre or mid trib rapture is going to evacuate them, please see my posts "Rapture Made Simple" and several others. The so-called "Dispensational" view is just another deception, just as modern "Israel" is.</span></div><div><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">The testimony of a Christian woman that is there.
