The Israel of God

            A cursory examination of the Scriptures is not sufficient to bring one to an understanding of the mysteries which are contained and revealed in the two testaments— the old and the new.  The Old Testament was written and had its application to a nation of people identified as Israel. Its purpose was to lead them forward through many outward and physical evidences, circumstances and subsequent judgments imposed upon there posterity to teach them the deeper lessons of the heart. The name of Israel is of the utmost significance because in the very essence of its meaning it reveals a condition and quality of people whom the Lord God desires to establish and bless. The name defined means; a prince with God, or to rule with God. (See Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible).

That ruler ship and its inherent blessings are bound up in a covenant relationship with the Almighty that is wholly conditional. National Israel under the tenants of the old covenant miserably failed to fulfill their intended destiny because they did not adhere nor conform to the conditions of the covenant. While they were thrice judged as a nation through the Assyrian captivity, the Babylonian captivity and the

utimate scattering of the Diaspora prophesied in Deuteronomy chapter 28, that does not mean that God’s dealings with them were wholly in vain. Always out of the many that were called there remained a few that was “chosen’. This does not mean as the modern day evangelicals have concluded that the Jews are God’s “chosen people”.  It also does not mean that they collectively retain some surety of promise to reign in a millennial kingdom yet future.  That having been said we can examine the truth in God’s vindication of the true Israel of God.

            The Old Testament lays a necessary foundation for a New Covenant. There never was an anticipation that the performance of the tenants of the law would result in the salvation of a people collectively. As we have been instructed in the tenth chapter of I Corinthians at verse 11: “Now all of these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.” Salvation has always been by faith. If you were to review the eleventh chapter of the Book of Hebrews you would become very clear on that fact. Yes, “Wherefore, the law was a schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ that we might be justified by faith.” (Galatians 3:24) “And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be upon them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.” (Galatians 6:16)

            So when we investigate the Scriptures beyond a cursory examination of their content we will find that there is only one Israel in God’s plan. That discovery is not apparently obvious to many who profess to believe the Bible to be the word of God for they have discovered not one but two Israels, both of which according their doctrine have a kingdom destiny. They have the church in heaven for eternity and the Jewish nation (Israel after the flesh) ruling in an earthly millennial kingdom. Will the Scriptures support this heresy? Absolutely Not!!

            Let us examine the New Testament covenant to verify the truth so that the mystery of God may be revealed. Beginning in the Book of Romans written by the Apostle Paul we read at verses 28 and 29: “For he is not a Jew which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: but he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.”  Paul further clarifies his argument later in the same epistle at Romans 9:6-8. “Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel who are of Israel, which are of Israel: neither because they are the seed of Abraham are they all children: but in Isaac shall thy seed be called. That is the children of the flesh; these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.” And again looking further in the Book of Galatians: “Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, and to seeds, as of many: but as of one,

And to thy seed, which is Christ…….And if ye are Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.”  (Galatians 3:16 and 29).

            The doctrines of Christian Zionists and Dispensationalists have introduced a great heresy into the Christian church which has affected literally millions and brought great harm to the clear preaching of the gospel of Jesus Christ. God is not a respecter of persons as Peter so aptly declared at Acts 10:34-35 when he proclaimed: “I perceive that God is no respecter of persons. But in every nation he that feareth him, and seeketh righteousness, is accepted with him.”  And again we repeat: “And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be upon them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God” (Galatians 6:16).  I recommend my recent title: The Israel Deception.  It will help you immensely to understand the truths of Scripture. Unfortunately there are millions of Christians who have accepted the deceptions of Dispensational theology and Christian Zionism.

America's Captivity

       The country which American’s live in today is no longer the “land of the free”. Most American’s do not perceive at all, or have only some faint awareness that this is the economic, political and spiritual reality. We do not salute a flag or sing a national anthem which represents or proclaims in truth that we are a free people. The Republic does not even exist and has not existed for nearly one hundred and fifty hears. The evolution of our decline and enslavement has a long history.  Few would truly understand the so-called Civil War was really a second effort by the Southern Confederacy to reclaim the freedoms envisioned in the Constitution. It is sold to the students in our government controlled educational system as a war to free people of African ethnicity from slavery. The slavery issue was brought in after the war was well underway to provide a justification for the North’s invasion of the Confederacy after thirteen nation states had succeeded from the union. The United States federal government was imposing unjustified tariffs on the agricultural productive economy in the south. After the war had been won by the federal powers of the northern states the Reconstruction Amendments (thirteen, fourteen and fifteen) were unlawfully added because they were imposed on the Confederacy for its “rebellion”. The previous Thirteenth Amendment disappeared being replaced by new one.  The original thirteenth amendment declared that no one holding a title of nobility (i.e. Esquire—lawyers) could serve as representatives in the federal government. The replacement amendment allegedly was to free the slaves. In reality the Fourteenth Amendment reversed the concepts of freedom by making every one either born or naturalized in the United States a citizen of the federal union. This was completely foreign to the original organic Constitution because prior to the so-called Civil War everyone born in America was a citizen of the sovereign country (state) of their birth.  Prior to the war America was a Constitutional Republic. The war and the reconstruction amendments changed completely the nature of the union of the states. The Fourteenth Amendment also placed upon new “citizens” any ability of rebuttal or denial of their liability for the debt accumulated by the United States. Examine the Fourteenth Amendment some time. It is a real work of enslavement written, of course, in legal ease to confuse you.

            The next step of America’s captivity was its incorporation by an act of Congress in February of 1871. Did you know that you do not live in a country but your citizenship is identified by a corporation, named the UNITED STATES? The new Constitution was put in place at that time which was a corporate charter named THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES. The international bankers, that is to say, the House of Rothschild is now back in control. Lincoln was asassinated as a result of his order for the printing of “greenbacks”. Lincoln, of course, was actually a traitor waging war against the free and independent sovereign states of the Confederacy.

            Fast forwarding another fifty or so years we have the Federal Reserve Act of December 23, 1913 passed through Congress when most members were gone for Christmas vacation. This was orchestrated by a coalition of international bankers including John D. Rockefeller, J. P. Morgan and Paul Warburg CFO of the Rothschild banking dynasty of Europe. These power brokers are all Zionist Jews intent upon complete control of America’s monetary system. They succeeded and now the corporation became a foreign owned corporation.  Move forward another twenty years to March 9, 1933 and the administration of Franklin D. Roosevelt (a thirty second degree mason and Zionist Jew) who declared by executive order and succeeded in getting passed by Congress the Emergency Banking Relief Act.  This is the international bankruptcy of the UNUTED STATES, INC. Three months later HJR 192 accomplished the abrogation of gold coin and made it illegal.  Your Constitutional specie (real money) was confiscated (stolen) by the federal government.  To add to the injury you and your property were hypothecated that is to say were seized as assets to secure the bankruptcy debt of the corporation. You were incorporated as an artificial person your name being changed to all capital letters. I.e. JOHN Q. DOE Check it on the label of your latest IRS form or other government related document including your driver’s license.

            When you go into court do not claim Constitutional rights for you have none. The courts are subdivisions of the corporation and operate solely in Admiralty (Maritime) law. If you hire a lawyer you have employed a registered foreign agent, i.e. a BAR member of the British Accredited Regency. He has sworn an oath to the Queen of England. You are a complete captive slave of an international Zionist Babylonian system intent upon establishing a communist one world government.  Zionism is communism. Your only hope is in the redemption and deliverance available through faith in Jesus Christ. Do you have any desire to understand from the Scripture what lives behind the prophetic world developments spoken of by the prophets of God?

"My Two Witnesses"

            Before moving into the actual content of this writing I would encourage a little review.  First, and above all, you might need to read the previous blog posting The “Rapture” Question.  Until you have discovered that there is no pretribulational “rapture” of the entire church body you are totally handicapped in understanding the difficult passages presented in the Revelation. If by the enlightenment of the Holy Spirit you have gotten past that barricade to your understanding then I would recommend that you read two more blogs.  First, the “man child” blog will teach you that the main body of the church will pass through the great tribulation. Then move on to a more recent posting entitled “measuring the temple”. If you can comprehend from these three blogs what is happening here at the beginning of the tribulation then you will be able to understand the ministry of “my two witnesses” beginning at Revelation11:3. If you have received your spiritual nurture in the mainstream evangelical churches you very likely are going to have difficulty in grasping these concepts because these truths are unknown in today’s fundamentalist churches. What you really need to do is order a copy of my title: These prophets and the Revelation to equip yourself with a complete understanding of end time biblical prophecy. But since you do not have that information in hand we will have to move forward anyway with as much as we can without it.

            The topic of Revelation 11:1-12 is a preparation for a ministry of the gospel of the kingdom throughout the world to be accomplished in a period of three and on-half years. This fact is verified by Jesus at Matthew 24:14 where we read: “And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness to all nations; and then shall the end come.” Evangelicals in general do not understand that the resurrection of the saints does not take place until after the tribulation.

            So what is seen first in the passage after the measuring of the temple is that the Lord is going to empower his witnesses to carry the gospel message to the entire world before the end of the age.         The next problem to overcome is that if we interpret literally there are only two people to accomplish that feat which by

any sense of reason is impossible. So we must come to understand that the two witnesses represent a spiritual principle by which God has always operated. Most evangelicals would say that it is Moses and Elijah or maybe it is Enoch and Elijah, or whatever. The principle of two witnesses and testimony to all truth in order for it to be conveyed is that first the Lord must have people who are walking and living according to the Spirit. Now then those people however many they may be have access to the second witness which is the Holy Spirit. When I write this blog if the Spirit of God does not testify to you that these words are truth then you have no ability to understand what I am saying. If the Holy Spirit says Amen to your spirit then you know that it is truth.

            The time of the tribulation is one of great difficulty and one of total persecution of the people of God because the enemy through the Antichrist is seeking to destroy anything which bears testimony to the reality of Christ. So we do not interpret that literal fire is coming from the months of the witnesses. It is a metaphor. (Compare Jer. 23:29).  Nor do we interpret that they have power to stop it from raining for three and one-half years. It is that the Spirit of the Lord in them testifies to the word of God coming down from haven. Read the power given to Elijah at I Kings 17:1 and context and then understand that it usage her is  being portrayed in metaphor. The same is true of the ministry of Moses in delivering the Israelites out of Egypt. Then there were physical miracles being performed because the Holy Spirit was not then active in the way that He is now. It is written in metaphor.

            As the testimony of these witnesses is completed each one individually the beast “shall make war with them, and shall overcome them and then kill them.”

(verse 7). This activity of the ministry of the gospel and the martyrdom of the saints will last over the entirety of the three and one-half years. The word days in verse 9 should have been translated years because the translators did not completely understand the context. Look it up in a concordance and you will see that the translation of the word is governed by the context. Context here it is 31/2 years, forty and two months or one thousand two hundred and three score days.

            We see in verse ten that the world will be rejoicing over their martyrdom and death even sending gifts to one another. Their joy and elation will be but for a short time because we see that at the end “the Spirit of life entered into them and they stood upon their feet: and great fear fell upon them which saw them.” Why?

Because the resurrection began occurring.  “And they heard a great voice from heaven saying come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud: and their enemies beheld them.”(Verse 11). Compare this with IThes. 4:13-17 (not the rapture as dispensationalists teach, but rather the resurrection. See also Matt. 24:29-31.

            This is a brief explanation of the passage. Much more detail can be found in my book Thee Prophets and the Revelation as well as many other insights explaining the words of the prophets. If you really have an interest in learning the truth of end time events you may find it here. You won’t find it in your church.
