The Great Deception
By Nathele Graham - https://www.raptureready.com/2026/02/21/the-great-deception-by-nathele-graham/
“And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh” (Luke 21:25-28).
Deception is a trick used by magicians. They distract you into looking one way while they manipulate a card deck or other item to seem as if something has happened magically. Deception isn’t a godly attribute when used to deceive people into believing a lie, but most people have used it at one time or another in life. You might tell your child to clean her room. When you go and check on her work, the room is nice and clean. Just don’t look in the closet or under the bed.

Irrevocable Promises: The Biblical Foundation for Support of Israel and The Jewish People
By Chris Katulka - https://harbingersdaily.com/irrevocable-promises-the-biblical-foundation-for-support-of-israel-and-the-jewish-people/
When I was a freshman in college, I learned a valuable lesson. My professor, Dr. Herb Hirt, told us never to read the New Testament back into the Old Testament. Instead, he said, read God’s progressive revelation from Genesis to Revelation.
Herb is with the Lord now, and he probably would be pleased to know I have followed his instructions for the past 20 years and will continue to do so. But I’m going to abandon his rule temporarily for a reason I’m confident he would appreciate.
I want to explain biblically why I, a Gentile believer in Jesus Christ, support Israel and the Jewish people; and I want to use the small but significant New Testament text of Romans 11:28–29. This passage was penned for the church, which means it applies to Christians today and conveys to us God’s feelings for His Chosen People.
