GOD'S FAITHFULNESS THROUGH ISRAEL AND THE JEWISH PEOPLE!

THE GREAT LANCE LAMBERT PASSES AWAY! EARTH'S LOSS IS HEAVEN'S GAIN RIGHT NOW! "WELL DONE THOU GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT"!

Lance Lambert, beloved brother in the Lord, friend to multitudes in Israel and abroad, and world renowned Bible teacher has passed away. Following severe health battles in Greece late last year, Lance was again hospitalized last month in Jerusalem, Israel, where he passed away peacefully Sunday afternoon May 10, 2015.

Lance, for decades, has been known as one of the most distinguished Bible scholars and speakers in Israel and for years had an itinerant teaching ministry worldwide. He was one of the great prophetic voices of our time. Born in 1931, He grew up in Richmond, Surrey and came to know the Lord at twelve years of age. He entered the school of African and Oriental studies at London University to prepare for work in China. He studied Classical Chinese, Mandarin, Oriental Philosophy and Far Eastern History, but the revolution closed the door to European missionaries and his entry into China.

In the early 1950's Lance served in the Royal Air Force in Egypt and later founded Halford House Christian Fellowship in Richmond, England. Having discovered his Jewish ancestry Lance became an Israeli citizen in 1980 and for many years until his passing resided in Jerusalem. His father and many members of his family died in the Holocaust. He produced a widely appreciated quarterly audio recording called the Middle East Update, which gives his unique perspective on current events in the Middle East, in the light of God's Word. He wrote numerous books including The Uniqueness of Israel and is presenter of the video production, Jerusalem, the Covenant City.

Those of us who have loved and known Lance throughout the years deeply mourn his departure from our midst. At the same time, we rejoice in his gain; the Lord Yeshua face to face, the gates opened wide to an eternity of heaven, the words of the Father, "Well done, My good and faithful servant."

THE TOP FIVE REASONS WHY THE PROPHESIES OF MATTHEW 24 CANNOT BE TALKING ABOUT THE RAPTURE OF THE CHURCH!

New post on Now The End Begins

Our Top 5 Reasons Why Matthew 24 Cannot Be Talking About The Rapture Of The Church by Geoffrey Grider Jesus starts the chapter off by saying that the Temple will be torn down to the ground and destroyed. "And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?" Matthew 24:3 (KJV) In the 24th chapter of Matthew, the apostles come together to ask Jesus about His return, which we know to be the Day of the Lord, and the end of the world. Jesus, as it turns out, has plenty to say on this subject and uses no parables. He tells them plainly what will happen in the time of the end. Many Christians, who love to apply the entire New Testament to the Church alone, read this chapter and try to make this about the Rapture of the Church. But that will not work, Matthew 24 is not about the Church which didn't even exist on the day that they asked Jesus these questions. "Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh." - Matthew 24:44 (KJV) Matthew 23 ends with Jesus talking about His Second Coming, and Matthew 24 continues this exact same theme so we have harmony with the context. In our earlier article on the Rapture of the Church, we explained the difference between the Rapture and the Revelation. If you have not yet read that article, please do so before proceeding with this teaching on Matthew 24. "For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord." Matthew 23:39 (KJV) Jesus has something very important for the apostles to understand, and He begins to speak prophetically. He is giving a prophecy, not of the time in which they were living (though you can draw some parallels), but of a time far into the future. The time of Jacob's Trouble that Jeremiah spoke about: "Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble; but he shall be saved out of it." Jeremiah 30:7 (KJV) Jacob's name was changed to Israel, as in the nation of Israel. Jacob's trouble has no application to the Church which would be formed later in Acts 2. Jacob's trouble is about the Jewish people and the nation of Israel as they go through the time that Jesus Himself refers to as "great tribulation" that would have no equal in human history. Worse than the Russian pogroms, worse than the slaughter in South Africa, even worse than Hitler's Holocaust in Nazi Germany. So with that, let's look at our top reasons why Matthew 24 is not talking about the Rapture of the Church. #1: The time period that Jesus talks about is not the dispensation of the Age of Grace of the Church. All through Matthew 24 are scriptural time clues that we, as Bible believers, need to be aware of. In Matthew 24:13, Jesus says that whoever are the people who are alive and going through this time period, they are saved by a combination of faith and works. There is no Christian in our dispensation of the Age of Grace that needs to "endure until the end" to be saved. We are saved according to Ephesians 2:8,9, and kept saved according to Ephesians 1:13,14. There is nothing in Paul's teachings that tell us to "endure" for salvation. Paul taught and preached the doctrine of Eternal Security. But, obviously, the people living in the time of Matthew 24 do not. Hence, this will be our number one reason why Matthew 24 is not talking about the Church and it's soon-coming Rapture. "But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved." Ephesians 2:8,9 (KJV) - Tribulation Age "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." Ephesians 2:8,9 (KJV) - Church Age "In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory."Ephesians 1:13,14 (KJV) - Church Age #2: The rebuilt Jewish Temple has no practical significance for the Church Jesus starts the chapter off by saying that the Temple will be torn down to the ground and destroyed. This happened in AD 70. But interestingly, just a few verses later, He says that it's back up and running again, and people are worshipping there. Not only that, Jesus says to "go and read the Prophet Daniel", specifically Daniel 9:27, to see who else shows up at the rebuilt Temple in the end times. It's the Devil himself! But guess what? Christians don't have or need a "temple" because we have the Holy Spirit living inside of us. That's the temple God has for Christians. So Matthew 24: 15 is our second reason why Jesus cannot be talking about the Church age. "When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)" Matthew 24:15 (KJV) - Tribulation Age "What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which isin you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?" 1 Corinthians 6:19 (KJV) - Church Age #3: The Christian Church is not able to carry out the command to flee into the mountains Right about Jesus shows the apostles about the Abomination of Desolation, He then says that the believers living in this future time period will be instructed to "flee into the mountains" and get out of Judea, which is to say Israel. Just like in our previous reason, this one also has no practical application for any Christian in the Age of Grace. First of all, only a minute fraction of born again Christians live in Israel, rendering this command meaningless to us. But it is still a command, and as such must be carried out. But by whom? Well, how about by all the Jews which has been brought back to Israel during the false 7 Year Peace Treaty engineered by the Antichrist? Now in this context, we have perfect harmony. If all the Jews in the world were regathered as the Bible says they will be in the end times, then they will all be there in Judea and able to carry out this command. This is the only way this verse has any doctrinal meaning. The people living in this time period are told to flee, Christians are told to "wait" for His Son from Heaven who gets us out beforethe Wrath comes. Huge Difference. "Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:" Matthew 24:16 (KJV) - Tribulation Age "And I will be found of you, saith the LORD: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the LORD; and I will bring you again into the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive." Jeremiah 29:14 (KJV)  - Tribulation Age "And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, evenJesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come." 1 Thessalonians 1:19 (KJV) - Church Age #4: The Christian Church does not have a sabbath day, we have the Lord of the Sabbath Himself Moving on down in the chapter, we arrive at Matthew 24: 20, where another huge time clue awaits us. With the previously-mentioned fleeing still in the context, Jesus then says to pray that when you turn to run, that it's not on the Sabbath day, which is the last day of the week, Saturday. Again, Christians were never given the command to worship on the Jewish Sabbath day, because we have the Sabbath Himself, Jesus Christ. Not just the "shadow" which is represented on the sabbath. Paul says we can worship on any day we choose, but like the Apostles in Acts 20:7, we usually come together on a Sunday, the first day of the week, for obvious reasons. "But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:"Matthew 24:20 (KJV) - Tribulation Age "Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holy day, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ." Colossians 2:16,17 (KJV) "And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight." Acts 20:7 (KJV) #5: The Christian Church is not God's "elect", that refers to Israel and the Jewish people Our last reason why Matthew 24 cannot be talking about the Rapture of the Church is as equally compelling as the previous 4 reasons. Jesus in verse 22 says that time of Jacob's Trouble - the Great Tribulation - is so grievous that if He didn't come and "cut it short" then not even the "elect" would be saved. His return to cut it short is what the Bible calls the Day of the Lord, turn to Revelation 19:14 to see where  the Church is on that Day. God's elect is not the Christian Church, according to the Bible the Jews and Israel are God's elect. We started this teaching by talking about how many Christians just automatically broad-brush the entire New Testament with the "church stamp". "For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel mine elect, I have even called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known me." Isaiah 45:4 (KJV) "And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains: and mine elect shall inherit it, and my servants shall dwell there."Isaiah 65:9 (KJV) - Tribulation Age God wrote the Bible dispensationally, and that's how we are to read, understand and apply it. The whole Bible is God's revelation of Himself to us, from cover to cover. The overarching theme of which is the battle for the Kingdom, and the King for whom it has been prepared. Simply put, it's all about Jesus Christ. to wit; "Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God." Hebrews 10:7 (KJV) God wrote the Bible dispensationally, and it must be read that way to to grasp it's meaning. Many Christians are shocked when you tell them that Matthew, Mark and Luke were not written about or for the Christian Church from a doctrinal perspective. It was written to Jews waiting for a Kingdom on Earth, which was postponed, and to those who will be alive on Earth during the time of the Great Tribulation after the Rapture. But that's a lesson for another day, hope this helps!

WHAT A CREEP DAVID MILLIBAND IS!! VOTE FOR HIM AT YOUR PERIL!! HERE IS HIS LATEST STANCE ON ISLAM!!

British Labour Party: We’ll Make Fear of Islam an Aggravated Crime

Posted by Jim Hoft on Saturday, April 25, 2015, 1:48 PM

 

 

And here we thought the US Democratic Party was the nuttiest political group in the world…
The British Labor Party announced this week they will outlaw fear of Islam.

Ed Milliband -Labour Party Leader

The Labour Party promises to make “Islamophobia” an aggravated felony.
According to the Urban Dictionary Islamophobia is a word constructed by the blood thirsty, pedophile islamofascist to try and place blame on everyone else for their current geopolitical situation.
Muslim News reported, via Religion of Peace:

A future Labour Government is committed to outlaw the scourge of Islamophobia by changing the law and making it an aggravated crime, according to the Party’s Leader Ed Miliband.

“We are going to make it an aggravated crime. We are going to make sure it is marked on people’s records with the police to make sure they root out Islamophobia as a hate crime,” Miliband told the Editor of The Muslim News, Ahmed J Versi in a wide ranging exclusive interview.

“We are going to change the law on this so we make it absolutely clear of our abhorrence of hate crime and Islamophobia. It will be the first time that the police will record Islamophobic attacks right across the country,” he said.

Labour Party Manifesto pledged to take a “zero-tolerance approach to hate crime” regarding the growth of Islamophobia as well as anti-Semitism. “We will challenge prejudice before it grows, whether in schools, universities or on social media. And we will strengthen the law on disability, homophobic, and transphobic hate crime,” it said.

Despite voting for the new Counter Terrorism Act last month, Labour was also critical of the way the Government has cut funding and narrowed the focus of the controversial Prevent extremism programme, saying that much of the work to “engage Muslim communities has been lost.”

** There were twice as many hate crimes against Jews as there were against Muslims in England in 2014.

** Community Security Trust recorded 1,168 incidents against Britain’s Jewish population in 2014, more than double that of the previous year.

** Metropolitan police recorded 500 “Islamophobic” attacks in England last year.

"FACE LIKE THE SUN" BY PETE GARCIA FROM THE "RAPTURE FORUMS"!

Face like the Sun

Face like the Sun By: Pete Garcia "I know men and I tell you that Jesus Christ is no mere man. Between Him and every other person in the world there is no possible term of comparison. Alexander, Caesar, Charlemagne, and I have founded empires. But on what did we rest the creation of our genius? Upon force. Jesus Christ founded His empire upon love; and at this hour millions of men would die for Him." - Napoleon Bonaparte The Old Testament going back to Genesis chapter three, foretold of the One who would come to redeem mankind and crush Satan and all of his nefarious plans underfoot. Were one to live in each epoch that played out in those first four thousand years, they would be hard pressed to understand who, when, and where the Messiah would come from. But as the time drew closer, the accumulation of recorded Scripture narrowed the process down of the exact location, tribe, and time for who, when, and where the Messiah would come. Because those first century Jew's departed from a literal, historical, and grammatical interpretation of the Scripture, they did not recognize the time of their visitation. Instead, they found themselves waiting (and are still waiting) for a Moses, or David-like leader, to throw-off the shackles of the Gentile overlords. So it was, that in the fullness of time, God came down as a man, to be that spotless 'lamb of God who would take away the sins of the world'. (John 1:29) When the Holy Spirit overshadowed the virgin Mary, she was instructed that He would be the One who would establish a kingdom with no end. (Luke 1:32-33) Although He was born a King of Kings, He was birthed in a manger. Although His birth was announced by the heavenly hosts, few were watching. Although He was born into anonymity, and raised as the son of a carpenter, He captivated the scholars with His wisdom at a young age. (Luke 2:46-50) He was humble, patient, loving, and obedient, and not just to the will of His heavenly Father, but also to His earthly parents. He exercised the uttermost patience in waiting to the right age to enter into the ministry. (Luke 3:23) When He did enter, He came in power, but not arrogance. He came with full authority, never once uttering the words 'thus sayeth the Lord'. He spoke from firsthand knowledge. He could perceive the hearts and minds (Matt. 9:4) of everyone He encountered, always pointing to the true intent of the question poised to Him, or the charge laid against Him. He defended the guilty. (John 8:3-7) He supped with the unworthy. (Luke 19:3-7) He did the miraculous; turning water into wine, healing the sick, giving sight to the blind or speech to the dumb. He cast out demons, and immediately they knew He was the 'Holy One of God'. (Mark 1:23-24) He commanded the sea and winds and they obeyed His voice. (Mark 4:39) He preached 'Repent for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand', but His message fell on deaf ears. He spoke truth about the human condition, and their absolute need to be born again. (John 3:3) He said that He was the 'way, the truth, and the life' and that NO man could come to the Father, but by Him. (John 14:6) Now after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, led them up on a high mountain by themselves; and He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light. And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him. Matt. 17:1-3 He tended His flock carefully and lovingly, and prepared them by telling them ahead of time, what would happen before it did. He revealed His true identity only once prior to the Cross, when He transfigured before Peter, James and John. Both Moses and Elijah (the two witnesses) along with the Father, confirmed that He truly was the Son of God. Even after this, He humbly and willingly allowed Himself to be falsely accused, beaten, charged, and put to death on a cross. He was obedient until death, willingly laying down His life so that others may live. (Matt. 20:28) On the third day, He rose again because He was sinless and death had no hold on him. By so doing, He conquered hell and the grave in the process. (Rev. 1:18) He then empowered His disciples to take His message, and proclaim it to all the world, once they had received power from on High. (Luke 24:49) He then ascended into heaven promising to return for those who were His, in the time that the Father had foreordained. (Acts 1:11) And so His disciples, fulfilling the Great Commission, spread to the four corners of the earth and were fruitful. The ranks of the Church have ebbed and flowed over the last 2,000 years, and tens of millions, have been added to the multi-membered, corporate body of Christ. Since Christ is the head (and we the body), He will at some future point, return so that we may be joined with Him. We are rightfully and lawfully His, because He purchased us with His blood that He willingly shed on Calvary's cross, and then sealed us with the Holy Spirit as a guarantee. (Acts 20:28, Eph. 1:13-14) so that our salvation would never be dependent upon our own behavior. One day soon, He will bring us back to the Father's house where we will dwell with Him, forever. (John 14:1-3) Although we cannot behold the glory of God face to face in our current state, it is not because God doesn't desire us to see Him. We cannot, because it would kill us. But when the Church of our Lord is 'caught up', we will be transformed, from mortal to immortal, from perishable to imperishable, and then we will see Him as He is, for we will be like Him. (1 Cor. 15:49-55, 1 John 3:2-3). Just as the true purpose of Christ's coming was shrouded in mystery from before the foundation of the world, (1 Cor. 2:6-8), so too would Christ's coming for His Church remain a mystery until some twenty years after the Cross, when it was given to the Apostle Paul to explain it through his epistles. The Rapture of the Church remains a sign-less, imminent event, which will catch the world off guard and cast it into a period of darkness, of which the likes have never been seen before. (1 Thess. 5:1-9) After the Rapture of the Church, there will be a political and military realignment on a global scale, as the old order no longer fits the new geo-political paradigm. (Dan. 9:27, Rev. 13:1-2) When Daniel's 70th Week starts (signing of the covenant), it will be heralded by the arrival of a powerful leader (the Antichrist) who will unassumingly, rise through the political or military ranks to seize control over key positions. At one point, he will control the heads of three states or regions, and will then exercise this leverage over the rest. A False Prophet, who will seemingly do the miraculous, begins directing the world to worship the man, Antichrist, or face immediate death. (Rev. 13:11-15) Jesus forewarned us that many "Christ's" would come, and would deceive many. (Matt. 24:4-5) and this Antichrist will appear as a Moses or David to the nation of Israel, but inwardly he is filled with the murderous plans of Satan himself. (John 5:43) Although global domination is an end result of his temporary reign, his true goal is the destruction of Israel. Although his reign only last seven years, it will be filled to the brim with the wrath of God. (21 Judgments; Seals, Trumpets, and Bowls) His plans will be thwarted over and over while God reigns down judgment upon him, and those who dwell upon the earth. At the midpoint of the seven years, a great angelic war will commence and Satan, along with his fallen angels, will be cast from heaven to the earth. Satan will have lost access to the heavenly realms forever, and will come down in great fury. (Rev. 12:7-12) Satan will indwell this man himself, and will commit the abomination that causes desolation (Dan. 9:27, Matt. 24:15), and spend the remaining time pouring out his furious wrath in trying to gather the whole world together against the remnant of Israel. He reckons, that if he is able to destroy the Jews, then they cannot cry out to God for salvation, thus, negating the promise of God to return and establish His own Kingdom. (Matt. 23:37-39) But he (Satan) will not succeed, because... Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory....Matt. 24:29-31 And Christ will no longer be the humble, suffering servant. He will light up that darkened sky like ten thousand suns rolled up into one Divine person. Those alive at that time on the earth, as well as those in hell who beat Him, mocked Him, and crucified Him, will lift up their eyes and see Him coming in great power and glory. Having already reclaimed those who are His at the Rapture, He now returns with His Church to reclaim His rightful seat on throne of David, which is the head of Israel, who will be at the head of all nations. This time, He comes in wrath and judgment, and He will make war against those who have chosen sides against Him. When they lift up their eyes, they will see... ...Heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except Himself. He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses. Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. - Rev. 19:11-16 Even So, Maranatha!
